B opened the small piece of paper, "Opera house rafters, 11 tonight, if you don't come, I'll take the hint." B lit the piece of paper on fire and let it drift into the wind. B closed his eyes and put his right hand in his pocket while taking a drag from his cigarette in his left hand.

Nate watched B from his bed, "I've never really known much about him, I knew he was L's older brother, and I knew he was one of the best. But, I never thought he would be so unstable."

Sayu looked at Nate, "He's not. He hurts, he internalized all the pain from his life and it broke him, I'd say he's the most normal out of all of you guys." Sayu sighed and got up and walked out onto the deck even though she detested the smell of cigarettes. She stood next to B watching a meteor shower. "You know what my mom told me every time I ever came home crying?" B gave her a side glance from the corner of his eye. Sayu smiled, "If it hurts, it meant something, if it meant something then it was cherished, if it's cherished, it is worth fighting for."

B looked down hiding his face behind his bangs. "My whole life has been pain, either inflicted for self caused. Luis and Caspian, they were the only thing that made my life bearable… And I met Angelique, I loved her, but never like I loved my brother and my previous partner."

"You know…" Sayu started and she wrapped his chest into a tight hug, "Look at my brother and your brother… They're extreme opposites, but never fight, and when they do it usually blows over within the hour. Light told me it wasn't his mannerisms or his looks that attracts him to Luis, it's his mind, it captivated him. There will always be lust, but love… That's rare. So rare it can't forget or leave it behind, it hurts and it cries, but it always comes back." Sayu smiled and interlocked her arm with his and continued to watch the stars.

"I'm only human. Everyone expects so much from me… That same expectation was held to L as well… You know… just once I wanted to stay and breakdown." B bit his lip hard enough to draw his own blood.

Sayu stood in front of B, "Beyond. It's time to break your chains." B gave her a pained expression and wrapped her into a tight hug and sobbed into her shoulder. "It's okay. It hurts the most before it heals."

B stopped crying and rested his head on her shoulder for a few more minutes. "You, Yagami's… Your mother was a wise woman, she raised two brilliant children. Thank you, Sayu. I can honestly say, this is the best I've felt since I was a kid. I guess I should face my fear."

Sayu tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Good luck, Onii!" B smirked and nodded. Sayu followed him into the room and collapsed on her bed, "I should get paid to deal with the emotional issues of this group." Nate chuckled from across the room behind his tower of dice. "Oh! You think you're perfect, do you?"

Nate peered around his tower of dice, "No. I just thought what you said was amusing. I am aware of my Schizoid Personality."

Sayu smiled softly. "I don't see that, although by definition yes, but not you, you try to be that way, but you're just simply not that cold hearted." Sayu smiled deviously.

Nate arched an eyebrow, "What's that look for?"

"Come here and find out." Sayu said beckoning him with one finger.

Nate blushed deeply, "But, your bother… He'd kill me."

Sayu narrowed her eyes, "Okay." She pulled out her cell phone and then started speaking, "Hey, L? Can you find a way to distract Light, away from the hotel, if you catch my drift?" Sayu closed her phone, "Problem solved."

Nate's face flushed even deeper. "Um…"

Sayu covered her mouth, "Oh, you're a…" Nate looked away and stepped out of the room. "Oh boy… I'm a real jerk." Sayu sighed, "Nate! Please come back!"

Nate leaned against the door listening to Sayu. "Now what? I like her, but…"

Matt was facing opposite to him in the hallway. "So, fuck her brains out."

Near's stare shoot up from the floor, "Excuse me?! Um. Light may be getting there in age, but he could still smash my face into the ground… In case you don't remember," Near pointed at his right eye, "case in point."

Matt momentarily looked up from his DS. "Big deal, him and L left about a half hour ago. Look man, if you like her you're just going to have to roll with the punches, he'll accept you, just don't break his sister's heart." Matt stopped leaning against the wall and walked down the hall looking at his game the whole time.

Sayu opened the door and Near looked over his shoulder, "Nate, I'm so—" Near turned around and looked her straight in the eyes and gave her a long kiss. Sayu seemed to melt at his touch.

Matt watched from the end of the hall moving his orange goggles to see better, "Attaboy."

Nate gently pushed her back into the room. Sayu slowly backed up until the back of her knees hit the bed and she fell back onto it. "Nate, you don't—" Near placed one finger over her lips.

"Sshh." He kissed her lips one more time before beginning to kiss her jaw. Sayu closed her eyes and arched her back pressing her body against his. Near pressed her back down with his right hand. Then broke his contact.

Sayu started at him, "Please don't stop. Not this time. This time I want it to finish." She propped herself up and pulled him down onto her hips. "I want all of you." Near stared into her soft honey eyes. She tugged at his shirt, "Please?"

Near betrayed the smallest of smiles and took his shirt off for her. She smiled and rolled them over so she was on top of him. She slowly started to remove her shirt one button at a time watching the hunger grow inside Near. She slowly slid her shirt down her shoulders and trailed it off her arm. Near watched her every movement. Sayu's eyes shot up to his and she quickly unbuttoned his pants making him gasp out of surprise. She started pulling at the top of his pants. He reached up and gently touched the side of her face, once she closed her eyes and leaned into his caress, he pushed her to the bed and straddled her hips.

Sayu bit her lip in excitement, "Stop making me wait! I want you!"

Near glanced over at the open curtains, "Very well." He hopped over to the curtains closing them turning around to see that she had fully undressed herself and was laying there patiently waiting.

Sayu gave a small smile at him and blushed, "Seriously, at least lose the pants." Near swallowed hard and dropped his pants where he stood. Sayu blushed a little more, "Oh my. Little Nate isn't so little." She smiled more, "Come here!"

Near sat on the bed next to her. Then looked back at her giving a small smirk. He ran his finger along her perfectly tanned body making her shiver and gave her a trail of goosebumps behind his finger. His finger stopped at her hip, "We'll need protection."

Sayu smiled widely and rummaged through her purse then threw a condom at him, "Hurry up." Near caught it with one hand and gave Sayu a smirk that sent chills down her spine. Turning a deeper shade of red at his touch he moved her legs apart and gently ran his nails down from her hips to her thighs, causing her to give a quiet moan. She could feel the heat pouring off his body, she closed her eyes tight as his body made gentle contact with hers. She began to brace herself as it began to sting more.

She opened her eyes and looked directly into his deep grey irises, "Yeah, you're definitely the biggest." She laughed nervously Near gently caressed her cheek and kissed her as he slowly started to move. Sayu arched her back and let out a loud moan. "Oh God!"

Matt sat on the bed smiling ear to ear while listening to the bed move, hitting the wall and Sayu scream. "Attaboy…"
