Darkness Within your Light

Warnings: not much, some bad language, tiny bit of humor, ummm Misa?

Ok, I'm kind of sadden that I haven't gotten much reviews latly so I kind of cut this chapter short, sorry for those who have reviewed faithfully but I'm just not really feeling it. The more reviews the bigger the chapters (I’m not kidding, reviews really do help me write)

Also I just can’t help it…I love how Raito and Ryuzaki were handcuffed in the manga…so it might not be as original as my story seems to be becoming but…they just have to be handcuffed together, the sooner the better. Perverted mind [you know your no different heh]

Ok I did not like how this chapter turned out…it seems like I am rushing through things a bit quickly…not to mention that the characters are acting a bit more OCC then I would like…well I am suffering from a terrible cold…let’s just chalk it up to that. God my chapter titles really do suck Arggggg. Please review and tell me if my characters are getting to out of character. Remember this story is for all of you…so talk to me…please?

After much more shouting, and in Raito’s case just plan staring, it was agreed on that Raito would be handcuffed to Ryuzaki 24/7 and Misa would be under 24 hour surveillance but in a more comfortable setting.

Yagami still wasn’t pleased with the idea but believed that this would be the best choice to take; it was either that or have his son back in that inferno cell.

It began to get really late, it had been yesterday afternoon when Raito had collapsed screaming in his cell, now it was almost 3 o’clock in the morning, and a whole new day was starting.

But sadly for Raito who was now chained to a frustrated, insomniac detective who seemed to be really mad at him the day was far from over.

It had been finally been decided after Watari had come back with food for everyone and had walked into a room that was nothing but chaos and mayhem, he had quickly sat the food down then proceed to walked towards one of the file cabinets that lined one of the four walls. He had then proceeded to pulled out what seemed to be…a horn buzzer.

After everyone’s ears had stopped ringing no one dared to speak again till Watari deemed it necessary.

After hearing both arguments on both sides, well more like how everyone was against whatever Ryuzaki had planned, Watari calmly took control of the situation.

He got the others at the investigation to see the situation as it was. Raito Yagami was a suspect. A suspect of being one of the worse serial killers known to man. It was that simple. And it was actually quite generous of L to even think of letting him out of the cell, health or no health. The same went with Misa, probably even more so because L had some physical evidence against her. With much grumbling and protest the others at in the investigation agreed that it would be the best case scenario to let Raito be handcuffed to Ryuzaki.

Yagami had only grimly agreed to the idea but said he would only agree to the idea fully if his son also agrees with Ryuzaki’s idea.

At that declaration all eyes turned to the startled Raito.

While everyone had been yelling and arguing about what to do with himself and Misa, Raito had been examining Ryuzaki and thinking.


‘Hn I can’t believe that I’m already going to be handcuffed to Ryuzaki…what about my fifty day incarnation? If my calculations are correct then it’s only been about a week since Ryuzaki had me locked up. Even when I really had lost my memories of the Deathnote and became my more innocent self he still left me in that damned cell for almost two months. And what about that goddamned test? Oh god how I wanted to hurt him for that…I mean what kind of twisted person came up with an idea to have a father pretend to kill his own son? Someone with some twisted sense of morals that’s what, I still get feverous around guns…but I can’t really talk can I? I mean I killed thousands of people under the pretense of bettering the world…when I just wanted to rule over it…huh kind of makes wonder which one of us is the more devious…heh it would be kind of fun to find out…he just gets so cute when he’s all competitive…wait what!? Shit I’m doing it again, Ryuzaki is not cute! Get that threw your brain you overly hormonal piece of junk! He’s your enemy at worse and your best friend at best! That-is-all!”


Raito tried to convince himself that that was all Ryuzaki could ever be. It didn’t really work though.


“ I mean…he couldn’t be more then that…can he? Well let’s see…negative traits of L is…well he’s messy, he has bad posture, he’s an insomniac, he eats nothing but sugar…and he’s childish, bossy, native, and….but aren’t those also things that I…dare I say it find endearing? Arggg! Damn it you obvious insomniac socially challenged panda! Look at what you did to me! I’m gibbering like a blushing school girl over her first crush!....Oh my god…that’s exactly what I’m acting like…oh thank god I perfected my facial expressions years ago or I would have to explain to everyone here why I have the expression of someone who found out that they had a sex change and no one told them about it.…..ok that was weird…maybe Mu did do something to me, I’m thinking like a crazy person. Ok back to the discussion on hand. I might, just might have a small crush on Ryuzaki…a really really small almost microscopic crush. So sure he’s kind of cute in an almost panda bear sort of way…and the way his eyes widen in confusion sometimes is absolutely adorable, and he does have a very nice body once you get him to discard those horrid cloths and…that’s it! I’m going to revolt on my brain! Geez ok ok I admit that’s he’s hot! Ok I admit it so leave me alone about it! I need to focus on more important matters, like now that I have perpetually denounced the deathnote and Kira what will happen now?”

Raito was glad that his mind had settled on a more comfortable topic. If you count thinking about who will try to become the new god of the world and might just kill thousands of people like him comforting. Raito found that so, at least a lot more comforting then confronting his newfound hormonal like feelings for a certain wide eye detective.

Raito had been startled out of his thoughts, right when his mind finally got out of its L gutter too, when his father had announced that he would only agree with Ryuzaki’s idea if Raito also agreed.

When everyone’s eyes had turned to him Raito had frantically tried to remember what they had even been discussing. He had been so deep in thought that he had blocked everything that had been going on around him.
Only after taking a quick look around the room and spotting the handcuffs that were still dangling from Ryuzaki’s limp hand did he suddenly remember.

“I have to say that what Ryuzaki is offering is really generous father, not only do I get out of that cell I will be able to help with the investigation…with the capture of the real Kira.”

When he was talking to the team he could have sworn that Ryuzaki had snorted in disbelief at that last bit.


Raito felt determination fill him at the sound.

‘Well let him think what he will. I will prove that I’m not Kira…because I’m really not anymore. I will get you to trust me Ryuzaki, you can bet your name on it.’

----

After that had been all decided, things had finally started too settled down.

At least until Watari had come back with Misa.

“RAITO!!”

‘Oh shit.’

That was all that Raito had time to think of before he was tackled to the floor.

Ryuzaki, who had already linked them together with the handcuffs, also had the unfortunate luck to be yanked down.

So for Raito it was with a highly embarrassing scene that they made.

He was on the floor with a hyper Misa talking a mile a minute about how that now that their free from the evil love separating Ryuzaki that they need to start making wedding plans and what name should their first child be?
Raito who had been out of breath after being tackled by Misa, not to mention Ryuzaki who had also fallen on top of them both. It shrike Raito as odd that Misa had yet to notice that she was sandwiched between them, but chalked it up to Misa just being her usually stupid obvious self.

After listening to what Misa was saying though Raito didn’t care how embarrassed he was. He wanted the crazy bitch off him. NOW.


After giving the still gibbering Misa a quick shove, which had ironically pushed her into Ryuzaki who had been trying to get up the entire time, but had been unsuccessful thanks to the handcuffs he himself had put on.
Raito managed to avoid also getting thrown back into the dog pile only by planting his feet in the carpet.

He figured his slightly bleeding wrist was worth it.

Raito had managed to get up unsteadily to his feet while the other two where still in a tangle on the ground.
Raito had to snicker when a loud slap resounded in the room. It seemed Misa had finally noticed Ryuzaki.

Turning towards his father candidly ignoring the accuses of how Ryuzaki was a pervert and how dare he touch Misa, and how her Raito would be really jealous.

Snorting himself at that last bit, he started to talk to his father and Watari about how Misa should be locked in an apartment on one of the floors for a few days. At least till they all had time to think of a better idea.
Again bluntly ignoring Misa’s whining and nauseating flirting he asked Aizawa to go with Watari and find a room with cameras that they could put Misa in, at least until they created a apartment especially for her. Not matter that Raito knew that Misa at the moment was innocent of any wrongdoings, well if you don’t call stalking and almost blackmailing Raito to be her boyfriend wrong.

Ryuzaki finally managed to untangle himself from the flaring Misa and stood up also leaving Misa to whine on the ground about how her Raito should help her up. Raito noticed that Ryuzaki didn’t really seem too pleased at me taking charge of his investigation. Raito could tell because he felt the daggers that Ryuzaki seemed to be planting in his back with his eyes.

Turning to him and shrugging in apology and walked the small distance back towards L and gave his a sheepish look and mimic zipping his mouth shut.

L seemed to take the apology because he nodded to him. Turning around and also ignoring the yelling Misa who was being pulled out of the room by an exhausted looking Aizawa.

“While I don’t like how you tried to take control of my team in the first few minutes of your new found freedom Raito-kun, you do make a point. We should discuss where to put Misa at a later date. For now we will put her in one of the many guest bedrooms since they all have cameras and locks in them. I will have Watari make a room for her at a later date. For now it is late and I’m sure that many of you will want to get home to sleep and see your families…actually why don’t you take the day off tomorrow, spend time with your families, and just make sure your on time for work the next day. Criminals are still being killed we must not forget that. Now if you will excuse us.”

With that Ryuzaki started to leave the room, pulling the unresisting Raito with him. He just had enough time to call out a hopefully reinsurance to his father who seemed to want to protest again.

“I’ll see you when you get back father, please try to relax for the day and take mom and Sayu out for some quality time. I’m sure they miss you. Goodnight.”

Raito barely had enough time to say goodnight before Ryuzaki yanked him out the door.

“Ryuzaki please, there’s no need to be violent. By the way where are we going?”

Ryuzaki didn’t even pause as he walked into the elevator that was at the end of the hall.

When they were both in the elevator Ryuzaki finally spoke. What he said reminded Raito that he was still in deep shit.

“We have a private matter that we must discuss Kira-san. On what you really know and don’t know. Like what you said before you passed out.”


Raito froze.

‘Shit, shit, goddamn it! How could I forget about that?! Damn Raito great job! What kind of genius are you anyway? Not a very smart one that’s for sure. What the hell am I going to say? The truth? No not yet, maybe not ever. For now I need to gain his trust and friendship, after that…maybe I could tell him about…everything. The little mother gave me the gift, the choice of making one person immortal like me…my soul mate. Heh I can’t believe it took me this long to figure out that I want L to be that person…no not L…Lawliet. I want Lawliet by my side for all eternity. I mean I know that we ague and fight all the time...but that’s what makes our messed up friendship fun. Now what do I do right now though? Hmm well I guess I can still play the dumb card for now. At least until I got a better feel on what kind of mood Ryuzaki’s in right now. Though I got to say it must be a truly pissed off one if he’s calling me Kira. Well let’s get this fight rolling…I wonder if we’re going to get in a fist fight…god I hope so, I need to vent.”

While Raito had been contemplating on what to say Ryuzaki had been patiently staring unblinking at him. When Raito had finally come to a decision, it had only taken 10 seconds tops but even that was to long, he was unnerved with how the way Ryuzaki had been looking at him.

‘Is it just me or is it suddenly to warm in here?’ Raito couldn’t help but think before speaking.

“I don’t know what your talking about Ryuzaki but I do know that I’m not Kira so don’t call me that!”

Ryuzaki just gave him an unimpressed look.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about…Kira-kun.”

Before Raito could respond back with a biting insult the doors of the elevator opened up to admit them onto a floor that Raito was unfamiliar with.

Before Raito could once again ask where they were he was pulled forcefully by Ryuzaki from the elevator and pulled harshly to the only door that the floor seemed to have.

It was a plain unremarkable door, but just looking at it gave Raito the shivers. He felt that once they got threw that door Ryuzaki’s and his relationship will never be the same…and he didn’t know if it would be for the better or worse.

Ryuzaki pulled a key out of his pocket and without looking at Raito he unlocked the door and walked threw it.
Raito had no choice but to follow.

Well I think I will end it there. I know I promised some of my reviewers that the big fight scene would be in this chapter but I really don’t feel up to it. I promise though it is in the next chapter and I will have that chapter up soon. THAT I DO PROMISE YOU. Truthfully I just wanted to post this chapter up so much that I couldn’t help but end it there. And you have admit it that it is a good cliffhanger. Heh. Maybe it will help all those people who read my story but don’t review to leave a comment. (Insert evil writers laugh)MUHAHAHAHAHAH.

I am sorry that it is not as long as the previously two chapters but like I said I’m feeling vindictive and righteously pissed off. Also I am sick, and I don’t know if I could do that part justice if I’m all woozy and stuff. The fight scene is really, really important to the story.


MORE REVIEWS EQUALS LONGER BETTER CHAPTERS!!!!


Please tell me what you think and if you want to guess what happens next it would be fun to see who is the closes to guessing to what actually happens...(Giggles manically.)[It’s the cold meds, they mess with my head.]

So anyway please review, I’m going to take a short nap right now and I hope by the time I wake up that I will feel a bit better to work properly on the next chapter.
