Ch.11 The Truth Behind the Mask


L sat in front of Watari's desk completely shocked. "Watari... What are we going to do? The letters are failing..."

"Maybe it is time to try something else? The letters have been put through to much and have become unstable."

"I agree. The letters are done. They are no longer able to perform." L sighed, running his hands through his hair.

"I will let Roger know to take them out of the running." Watari stood and slowly walked to the door. As he opened it, B stood in the doorway staring at L. "So we are useless to you?" He asked, staring with hard eyes at them. "A was just part of your twisted experiments?" His voice was cold and dripped with poison. "What were we to you?"

Watari looked to B with sad eyes. "A's death was very sudden and has cause everyone much grief. It let us know that you all simply are not up to the task. The lessons were clearly too much for him. It will be alright now that the pressure to become L is off of everyone."

L stood and turned. "Watari is right." He said as he walked over to a bookcase and started to run his finger down the spines of the books his other finger in his mouth, spine hunched.

Watari walked out of the room giving the child a sad look. Watari was like a father who had lost a son. When he was alone with L, he simply stared at him. "So that's it then... All of us are nothing... After everything we did... Screaming, deceiving and bleeding all so that we could be you..."

L blinked and turned to look at B, his face confused, raising an eyebrow. The other had cold eyes as he stepped closer shutting the door. "Tell me L, am I so special now? Do I capture your interest now that I'm nothing?"

He's eyebrows knitted together. "My heir just committed suicide. Second in line is over come with grief. Third in line stabbed himself, and 4th in line jumped out of a third story window. That’s why I said the letters are failing. The pressure is too much."

"That wasn't my question L Lawliet."

"Yes, you do still hold my interest." He said narrowing his eyes at B for using his name.

"Your biggest competition is dead. What will you do now?"

"What competition? What are you talking about?" He asked confused.


He slowly walked towards the older boy. "You and I look so much a like. Our hair, our eyes, our minds, all of it is so similar that we could be twins." He reached out when he was close enough and slowly drew his hand up L's chest. L froze, his eyes following B's every move. "Yes?" He said wondering what B was getting at.

"L Lawliet..." he purred pressing himself against him. “I like your name."

L let out a shaky breath and leaned into him. "Thank you, Beyond."

"L... Your name is what everyone wants."

L stood there, his body screaming out for the other. His mouth had gone dry.

"You want to play with me?"

He nodded slowly, swallowing. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled the boy closer to him.

"Funny, you've been playing with me ever since I arrived."

L pulled back and looked down at him confused. "What are you talking about?"

"What wrong Lawliet? Are you worried about something?" B moved closer and licked his way up to L's ear. "Now I will tell you what I've done for you. All the tears I've cried and you still won't hear me." He moved close and bit down on the other's neck drawing blood.

L's eyes flew open and he moaned loudly, moving his neck to the side for B. L was a bloody masochist with a high pain tolerance. He clutched B closer to him.

Beyond simply grinned as he bit down harder. He pushed L against the bookcase. He moved his hands up L's shirt to drag ragged nails down his chest.

L moaned loudly and arched into the nails.

"You want me to play with you L Lawliet?"

He nodded, before pulling B into a deep kiss.

Beyond bit his lower lip as his hands moved up and grasped L's throat cutting off his air.

L eyes looking down at him. They weren’t shocked or panicked. They were filled with cockiness, lust and defiance. A smirk slowly spread on his face.

Beyond pulled away from him grinning with a bloodthirsty smile. "Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies so I don't know what's real and what's not. Always confusing the thoughts in my head, tormented daily." He squeezed tighter with a grin.

L smirked wider his eyes egging him on. He pulled B closer to him; he looked like he would be laughing if he had the breath. He ran his hands down B's back, and under his shirt and pressed his lips to B's. His nails run up the boy's back.

Beyond would have none of that. He bit, digging his teeth in painfully as his knee jerked up slamming into L's groin.

L bowled over, a squeaked moan escaping his mouth. He pulled B closer still him, wanting more.

He licked the blood on his lips. "You killed A."

He stilled, prying B's fingers from his throat. "A killed himself. It was a suicide." He said his voice very hoarse as he sucked in breath.

"No... You drove him to it... You made his life nothing but hell. You are a wicked, evil, fucker who doesn't deserve to live." Beyond would have no more lies. "Without the mask where will you hide? Can't find yourself, lost in your lies. I know the truth now. I know who you are and I don't love you anymore!" He punched L in the face and began to strangle him again. He dug his knees into the others stomach as he squeezed. "I will make you suffer! I'm going to do to you what you did to him!!"

L eyes flew open in shock. Didn’t love me anymore? Mask? He didn’t drive to anything, the fucker was weak.... He grabbed B's hand and wretched it from his throat pushing the other away from him.

Beyond allowed him self to be tossed off. He fell on his ass letting out that twisted laugh. His head tilted to the side as he grinned at him. "What's the matter L? Did you think no one would know?"

"I didn’t do anything! A couldn’t take being L for 2 months! I cut this lessons back just like I promised! The teacher said he freaked when he wouldn’t let him into the classroom!" L yelled indignantly.

"No, you did everything. You tormented him, held the title over his head dangling it there." He stood up calmly, still staring at him. "You tortured him and laughed every time. You treated him like a toy, playing with him until he no longer drew your interest. Then you threw him away."

"A was my heir! I didn’t dangle anything over his head! He wanted it! I didn’t do anything!"

"No L. You did everything." He made to grab the other again but heard footsteps. Damn Watari was coming back. His dark eyes moved to L before he turned to leave. "I'm going to make you suffer just like you made him suffer. A was a sweet passionate person and you killed him because he had what you could never dream of having... a heart."

When Watari came in B was gone. The younger boy was away from him but his threat hung in the air. L stood there starring at the wall, a bruise slowing growing on his pale neck and jaw. The bite mark on his neck so ghastly looking.

Watari moved over to him. "L, are you alright? Did B hurt you?"

L seemed to snap out of his trance. He placed his hand over the bite mark. "No, Watari, he didn’t." He shook his head.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. We were just talking." L said dismissively.

Beyond sat in A's room for a minute before getting up and going into the bathroom. "L.... L...." He grinned as he took a pair of scissors and started cutting his hair. His mind holding the image of L as he chopped off the locks of dark hair. When he finished he walked out and stole eyeliner and pale makeup. He couldn’t help but laugh at his own reflection in the broken mirror. "L... I will never let you forget what you've done."
