xxxxxYamamoto chuckled under his breath as he listened to Y ramble. They still hadn't met the "infamous" Kaoru, so he could understand their hesitation, but it was difficult to restrain himself. Yamamoto was sent to find Namine in hopes of ensuring Light's soul was destroyed, but once again they didn't know this. He waited for her o finish before speaking.


xxxxxThen, Namine took a sharp intake of breath. Her eyes opened wide in fear and she drew her arms up to defend herself in case of danger. Her eyes darted around the room wildly, and stopped on L, before slowly allowing herself to look up at Yamamoto who was watching Y intently.


xxxxx"I think Yamamoto has something to tell us," Namine managed to choke out. Her throat was extremely dry, and the dust motes floating around the room didn't help. Slowly, Namine lifted herself up into a sitting position and threw her legs over the side of the table. Silently she looked herself over, and could slowly feel heat raise up into her cheeks.

xxxxx"Yamamoto what hav-" Namine's words caught in her throat as she noticed from the corner of her eye that her mess of wigs and multiple clothes disguises laid strewn about the floor. Fury raged inside her, and she looked back to glare menacingly at the man who had single handedly stripped her of not only her clothes, but also her sense of confidence. Even standing there now fully dressed in her old black robes, Namine felt completely naked.

xxxxx"What, your friends haven't seen you?" Yamamoto scoffed and he crossed his arms meeting her furious gaze head on. He chuckled again as he imagined all the other faces and personalities Namine had taken on back in school when they studied together.

xxxxxNamine's mouth dropped, and she realized that Y had been silent for a time. She had already finished giving Yamamoto all the rules he would have to abide by. Namine closed her eyes, a small tear escaping before she turned to face the others in the room.

xxxxx"I'm sorry you all had to find out about this late," Namine whispered nervously, her blond curls falling over her shoulder as she bowed her head. She thought back to when her and Y first met and tried to hold back her emotions as she prayed Y didn't kill her for lying about her appearance. "Yamamoto here is a very old friend, and was, the only person who truly knew what I look like." Namine stressed the word was, turning to glare at Yamamoto once more before returning her attention to the others.

xxxxx"I actually believed him to be dead, seeing as the.... accident long ago had killed everyone but myself... and apparently him." Namine's fury was still intact, but it was hard to tell as Namine whispered barely loud enough for everyone to hear. "I'm so sorry."

xxxxxL gazed at Namine in silence, unsure of how to react to her. He could tell that all evidence of her former strong personality had been stripped from her, and when he squinted his eyes he could see a faint darkness surrounding her. He was then taken aback by his new sense of sight, and completely lost himself in his mind as he wondered what had happened while he was out.

xxxxx"Sorry to interrupt, but am I dead?" L wondered aloud after a time. He raised his thumb to his lips and bit down softly on the nub. "Because if not I am very confused...." L waited for someone to speak, but when no one answered he spoke again. "I'd also like to know what you were talking about before, Namine?" L said his focus once again on Namine as he silently wondered what it was that Yamamoto was hiding.

"No L you are not dead" sh ate some nutella 'almost thought you died though, scared the hell out of me, thank god you didn't see that.' she thought and paused a moment "Namine, everyone wears a mask, no matter how you look at it." she held her hand up over half her face "We all act a certain way towards certain people. For example you wouldn't treat your boss like a daughter, unless of course they were your daughter." she removed her hand "Some masks are thicker than others, and sometimes people have hundreds of them or maybe only one or two." she scooped more nutella "You physically hiding your true self from me does not make me think less of you, you are still seen as a friend in my eyes..." she paused stopping her movements a second. An image of light flashed through her head, but she quickly went back to topic, hoping no one noticed. L and yamamoto specifically, L because he was always analyses, and Yamamoto because she still knew nothing about him. "We need two things discussed, you" she pointed to Yamamoto "About what your purpose is, who's your boss/higher authority figure, and, should your boss be related to this, why do they plan to bring light back, what purpose is that for. Should you know we require you to answer. Sadly there are no interrogation areas here. So! we must deal with this." she ate some chocolate then continued "You!" she pointed to Namine "As L also stated, I also wouldn't mind knowing a bit about what you're talking about. It seems I have missed something important, although knowing the basics there are some details I did not get from you. These details may be vital to getting those pages of yours back. Do you still have you book safe by the way? Sadly I have forgotten about that." she finished letting out a sigh. She didn't know why but she felt a deep concern and depression randomly. It might have shown somewhat but she felt like a cloud was pouring on only her. She placed her elbows on her legs and leaned her fore head on her hands. 'Damn INFP's....too sensitive.' she thought then looked up glancing at everyone, 'I'm just too sensitive.' she thought.

Kyzomo felt a vibration in his pocket and pulled it out. His eyes widened taking it out and reading messages sent to him, he ran over to Y. "IT's the police! there-" he cut himself short.

"what. Kyzomo."
he handed her the pone and she read through it. She closed her eyes leaning her forehead against her hands again. "Go strait to the jail and check out what happened, tell them Y sent- no not that. That's far to fragile what am I saying." she pointed "Second drawer, CSI ID. Say ou came from the US your name is john smith......no say your name is Will Marley, and you came because these murders might be related to similar ones back in the US. You came for psychological, and physical evidence to find similarities for help back home." she said. Kyzomo did that immediately. "There's a stack of papers in the first drawer find Will Marley and slide in your drivers license first then the paper. Its quick but will work." she said He nodded and Started out the door "Call.....oh wait no more phones here...wait no there is one." she stood up shufflng up stairs.
She walked into an old child's room. Stopping a moment to look around. feeling a mix of nostalgia and hesitant regret. she went to a drawer beside a small bed pulling out a pink beat up black berry with a little winnie the pooh hanging of it on a string. Then went back down stairs. "16475675252" she said. "long distance where your going." she was just staring at the phone. as she went down the stairs. Kyzomo ran out quickly.

Going through messages and snickering slightly as she read a few of them. She mad a slightly sad smile. Then realized what she was doing. "....sorry." she went back to her seat only holding the phone and not looking at the nutella anymore. 'How long, has it been since I lived here.' she thought before concentrating "Probably wasn't the best spot to come to, simply the closest, now back to topic please." she said, acting serious. Glancing at L once to make sure he wasn't paying attention.

The other side of the coin

.

"I am surprised" he said "That I haven't broken down yet. I am glad though, I want this to come through." It's true, most humans would probably give the book back or kill themselves with it, moments after realizing it killed people.
"I have told you all instructions, I simply watch neutral" I explained to him. He looked at me with a glimmer in his eyes and a big smile on his face "With this I can mold the world into a utopia. I need to test out what I can do hey Excors?" I simply stayed silent a moment "test?"
"you'll see, I'm sure I've got the cops creamed out about this all ready, adding something different might change things up. Let's see what this notebook allows me to do." He had said. It was only then I realized that I would not be bored for a while longer. He wrote down some more names copying off that other sheet or what ever. Then the cause of death, but this time adding what the victim would do before their deaths. "Perhaps, you humans can be interesting after all."


...........................................................................................................................

Kyzomo stared at the officer "3more dead?!? I just got here! Let me see them, these cases seem very familiar." the officer stopped him "The bodies are all ready gone, that room is empty and has all ready been inspected Mr CSI." "sir I still need my own notes, its all right if the bodies gone as long as the autopsy states that he died of heart attack." the officer nodded "all right, don't move any evidence, Samples and vital things have been marked all ready." kyzomo nodded, but he was worried '3 more. the list was long before, but stopped after 20, but within ten minutes 3 more died at random, the only connection is that all were either moved from this jail, in this jail, or coming to this jail.' he thought. 'I need to call Y after.' he entered the crime scene of the most recent three victims.

xxxxxNamine patted herself down, and then realization hit her. Slowly she turned to glare menacingly at Yamamoto, and he grinned sheepishly before reaching behind him and revealing the small black book.

xxxxx"I planned on giving it back, but I had forgotten. Everything jut moved so quick-" Namine cut Yamamoto off, slapping him as hard as she could across his stupid face. He gazed at the wall for a moment and then stood up chuckling under is breath. He looked down at Namine, memories of them together flooding to the front of his mind. "Your still as feisty as ever, huh?"

xxxxxNamine folded her arms over her chest and stomped dramatically over to where L sat, his eyes were still glazed over from his recent confusion and really needed a thorough explanation. Taking L's hand in hers, Namine motioned for Yamamoto to start explaining himself to Y.

xxxxx"What do you see?" Namine whispered to L, ignoring Yamamoto's angry shuffling as he moved over to the couch nearest to Y.

xxxxx"Kaoru is who you must be referring to as my boss I assume," Yamamoto began. "Though boss is not exactly the correct term for this man in all truthfulness. If anything you are looking for a man who cannot be seen."

xxxxx"Shinigami..." L whispered, his hand about to point off towards Yamamoto. Namine squeezed it and smiled.

xxxxx"That's right," Namine whispered, her former smile turning quickly into a frown as she gazed into L's eyes. His life was about to become so difficult, so quickly she wondered if he could handle all the new changes.

xxxxx"What is all the weird smoke surrounding everyone for?" L whispered so quietly that Namine had to search his mind to truly know what he had said. She chuckled and squeezed his hand reassuringly this time.

xxxxx"It's called an aura, do you remember how I followed Matsuda back to Light's former home?" Namine only thought this rather than saying it out loud in order to see just how much L had learned, but when he didn't answer she repeated herself this time out loud. "Can you see hers?" Namine pointed over at Y and smiled as L turned away to look at her.

xxxxx"It's yellow right?" L whispered returning his gaze to Namine reluctantly. Namine sighed sadly as she watched a light pink circle through L's new light purple aura. A small tear ran down her cheek, and L winced slightly. "You can see... can't you?" L whispered referring to the pink in his aura that had instantly disappeared as L reflexively hid it from sight.

xxxxx"Yes." Namine whispered sadly. "To both."

xxxxxL reached up to wipe away Namine's tear and smiled, "I'm so sorry Namine..." L whispered before turning back to look at Y once more. He couldn't help but wonder if he would ever see the same shade in her aura as Namine had seen in him, and sighed. Solemnly he turned back to Namine, and readied himself for her to refuse to help him.

xxxxx"Namine will you te-"

xxxxx"Of course, the color you are searching for now is pink." Namine smiled the best she could, mentally doing her best to sooth her heart as it screamed in agony. Namine was normally extremely efficient at hiding her emotions, but she hadn't ever felt so connected to another person before. L had literally lived with her in symbiotic ways. If she hadn't brought him back he would have eventually died with her. Gone forever. Their souls intertwined from the moment Namine excepted him into her body.

xxxxxSilence stretched on between the two for a time, and L squeezed Namine's hand this time. She couldn't look at L, though she could feel his eyes searching for hers. In an act to feel safe again she quickly searched for Yamamoto without thinking and remembered he was with Y. Quickly she looked towards him and a quiet fury began to rise in her up from within her as she examined him.

xxxxx"You've all heard of a shinigami at some point in time, am I correct?" Yamamoto asked Y curiously, but continued on without waiting for an answer. "Anyway, this... "man" I had always assumed would remain neutral, but has been recently giving... Kaoru "tips" as to who would be able to help him in the development he has been striving to reach."

xxxxxL chuckled under his breath and Namine turned to look up at him without thinking. "What does red mean?" L did his best to smile, but Namine could hear the pain inside him beg for L to run from Namine. She could feel that he was saddened by how the events had taken place and even more hurt by the fact that he had hurt a very close friend.

xxxxxNamine sighed, "I'll explain it all to you another time darling. Another time." Namine's voice traveled slowly as she spoke and she hopped down from the table silently, L's hand the only thing holding her there.

xxxxx"Where are you going?" He wondered allowed, not wanting the only person who knew what he was dealing with to leave his side.

xxxxx"I need to be alone a moment..." Namine choked out, her tears nearly escaping as she felt herself tearing at the seams. L bit his lip and squinted his face in slight pain. He truly hated how he had hurt her, but nothing could be done. Namine did her best to smile at L, and slowly he loosened the grip on Namine's fingers. "Please..." Namine begged, L's fingers were strong even when they weren't at the advantage. After a few seconds he sighed and released her, and Namine stealthily sprinted from the room.

xxxxx"You know what," Yamamoto said, stopping quickly. "Why don't you tell me everything Namine has already explained to you, because I feel as if some of you may know more than the others." Yamamoto looked back at L, taken aback first by his dejected gaze. It took him only a few moments before he realized Namine was no where to be seen, but refused to be the first to comment on her absence.

xxxxx"L, you may want to join us over here?" Yamamoto called to him.

xxxxxL blinked a few times and then returned to reality. He slipped off the table and slowly walked over to the couch, and sat down in-between Y and Yamamoto. "How can I help?" L whispered as memories of his past flooded to the front of his mind. L winced at the fresh pain he felt as he watched himself die over and over again. Silently L hoped Y didn't notice him flinch. He didn't want her to live with the pain too.

Funny side note: I always imagined Namine's true personality to be INTP... One letter off from Y. lol

xxxxxYamamoto Sat in silence for a moment, silently mulling over how to proceed. He knew Y was asking about the Death Note, of course he did. He was the only man "working" for him that had been close enough to see Kaoru cradling it in his arms.

xxxxx"L," Yamamoto addressed him finally. "Is there anything in this room that has confused you in any way? Has caused you to question your sanity?"

xxxxxL's eyes grew wide for a moment, but return to normal as he slowly pulled his legs up and bit down on his thumb. "When I first... woke up," L winced slightly but continued, "I was able to see strange colors vibrating around each of us." L whispered. "Then, when you asked Y if she'd ever heard of a shinigami I think I saw one.... Looming just around the corner there." L said, pointing off to where he had seen the odd bone-like demon standing.

xxxxx"Her name was once Noctorie." Yamamoto said, his eyes intent upon L as if he were trying to get him to answer a question.

xxxxx"Why did it change?" L wondered allowed, just as intent as Yamamoto. L could somehow feel that Yamamoto was trying to lead him to something... But why? Why didn't he just come out and tell them exactly what he was getting at?

xxxxx"Well look at her, and I mean really look at her" Yamamoto gestured towards the shinigami who was standing in the shadows of the hall.

xxxxxL broke his gaze and looked over Yamamoto's shoulder to see Namine arguing with the same shinigami he had seen when he had first rose from his slumber. His breath caught in his throat. He wanted to call out to Namine, and tell her to run. Though for some reason it seemed that he should be telling the poor demon to run...

xxxxx"Do you see her?" L turned to look at Y, but stopped to look back at a chuckling Yamamoto. L glared in frustration. "What in the world have you done?" L seethed. A new found anger causing the normal calm L to rage.

xxxxxYamamoto stopped laughing completely as he met L's gaze. He had been trying to avoid this question from the moment Namine had asked, but it seemed he kept getting himself stuck in a hole.

xxxxx"I've been waiting for that answer myself for some time now," Namine said. Her voice much closer now. L looked up for a fraction of a second to see Namine with her hands on her hips, and glaring down at Yamamoto. The shinigami standing at her side.

xxxxxYamamoto sighed and moved to stand up, but Namine shoved him back down. Without thinking she jumped on him, somehow managing to hold him down as she scanned his mind for the memory she was looking for.

xxxxx"You could have just asked," Yamamoto whined, the pain increasing as Namine picked up the pace. "Owww..." Namine tugged roughly on his hair and mentally slammed against his mind.

xxxxx"You lunatic!" Namine shouted, jumping back and just barely keeping her balance. "You could have killed us all! What would you have done if Hecate demanded a sacrifice, or decided she was done working with us?" Namine spat in Yamamoto's direction.

xxxxxYamamoto sat in silence as he listened to Namine shout at him. He knew she would find out eventually, but he was prepared for that. He knew she would be furious.

xxxxx"And how dare you change his life without him having given you permission?" Namine's fury was rising quickly, and Yamamoto didn't have to look at her to know her aura was on fire. Though it was hard not to laugh when he heard a faint squeak come from L as he watched Namine become engulfed in flames.

xxxxxWhen Namine was finally finished he stood up slowly from the couch and took short careful steps towards her. Namine eyed him carefully, bursts of red popping in Yamamoto's direction as if she were somehow controlling her aura. Then Namine blinked and Yamamoto shot forward, pinching a small nerve on the back of Namine's neck. She reached up to slap him away, but before she could reach his head; her eyes closed and she fell into his arms.

xxxxxWithout another word Yamamoto carried Namine to the table and laid her back down before returning to the couch. He sighed, and looked up as a confused L.

xxxxx"Noc, would you mind telling them? You know I'm bound, so please help me out here...." Yamamoto dropped his head into his hands, and groaned. He was hoping he wouldn't have to do that, but he knew Namine hated not being able to control her anger. She would have been more made if he hadn't stopped her.... right?

xxxxxThe shinigami stood stalk still for a time, it's head swiveling between L and Yamamoto before it finally began to slide in there direction.

xxxxx"That girl there," The shinigami was careful not to say her name. "She can't hear me, so you'll have to repeat everything I say." Noctorie's voice was deep and crackly. As if it were bone dry. L tried his best to ignore it, but often found himself wincing as he spoke and repeated his words to Y.

xxxxx"Light Yagami..." Noctorie mused. "Do you know the name Ryuk?" The shinigami cackled slightly at the thought of the pair. L only nodded after repeating the words for Y to hear.

xxxxx"Ryuk has come for him," The shinigami laughed again before continuing. "He wants his soul. Light the shinigami." Noctorie cackled a bit more but stopped suddenly. "What Ryuk doesn't know is that I don't plan on letting Light become free. No. I will die before that. King said to keep Light from reaching our world, and I failed once it seems..."

xxxxxL was taken aback by the strange words the shinigami spoke. He never knew of a king of death, and he didn't know humans could be risen as shinigami either.

xxxxx"Didn't Yamamoto say Ryuk was neutral?" L asked the shinigami. "And how are you going to stop them?"

xxxxx"Jezebeth is gate keeper. Jezebeth is death name, Noctorie is human, yes." The shinigami turned to look at Namine and then turned back.

xxxxx"Light knows your alive," Noctorie whispered. "Noctorie protect Yamamoto. Noctorie protect Namine. Noctorie protect you." L sat in silence, not repeating this last part to Y. He didn't want her to worry, and hold him back from defeating his former nemesis and first friend. The shinigami chuckled again and continued. She knew that L was going to keep that snip hidden.

xxxxx"Kaoru is not who he appears to be either, but that is for you and the girl to find out." The shinigami said then before turning back to Namine and moving to her side.

xxxxxL took it as the end of the conversation and turned to Yamamoto. "You need to tell us how to get to Kaoru." L snapped at him. "And pull yourself together."

xxxxxHe then turned to Y and smiled the best he could, "And we need to formulate a plan, to get ahead... We must prepare ourselves."

xxxxxYamamoto chuckled, and leveled his eyes to Y. "This is exactly what we are trying to keep from happening." He turned toward Namine, a sad look in his eye. "But we need Namine to help us..." Namine meet Yamamoto's gaze with only slight frustration in her eyes now. She knew what was coming, and she knew that she wouldn't turn down Yamamoto if he asked her. Death was something Namine worked against, not with.

xxxxx"You want me to destroy his soul..." The words felt like sand paper was grinding against her heart, slowly grinding away at her soul as she imagined the possible outcomes. "You know what that means right?" Yamamoto tore his gaze away from Namine, and stared at the floor, instantly back to the depression he had been in only moments before Y had begin to ask all her questions. He sighed.

xxxxx"I have never had a deathnote in my possesion, nor have I touched one or came in contact with a piece of it's contents," Yamamoto whispered correcting Y's assumption. "Though you are right. Noctorie is with me, and is connected to me through a bond I hadn't even thought was possible." Namine's eyes narrowed slightly, but she said nothing. She had been so positive that everyone she knew had died, and she stayed silent in hopes of a real explanation.

xxxxx"There is a process in which one may become a shinigami..." Yamamoto choked out nervously. "First, you must come within contact with a deathnote." He lifted his eyes from the floor and turned his gaze towards the shinigami. She was shaking in the corner as if extremely nervous, and neither Namine or L missed her reaction to the words Yamamoto was speaking.

xxxxx"Yamamoto, stop!" Namine's voice was low and authorative, and Yamamoto froze. His gaze locked with the shinigami in the corner. "I will stop him... I will stop him." Namine's voice was growing slowly weaker as she continued, her aura slowly growing dark. L bit his thumb, but continued to try and decipher what Namine and Yamamoto were trying to convey to each other.

xxxxx"Tell the human that Noctorie go through hard process to be Jezebeth." The shinigami broke the silence and all three turned away from one another to gaze back at her. The room was silent for a moment, and Namine was the first to speak.

xxxxx"I'm not sure how to explain all this, but Light is about to undergo a series of... trials," Namine started, stressing that the word trials was a loose form of the word she was looking for. "If he completes the last step he will have done what Noctorie had done in the past to become Jezebeth. He will have stepped through a sort of... portal that will turn his human soul into the void that we call a shinigami. He will have become the God he swore he was." Namine and L shuddered together at the thought of the damage Light could cause. "He will become Kira."

xxxxxSilence broke through the room with a more shaking force than any other time, and Namine and Yamamoto stared knowingly at each other. Light Yagami must be dealt with, and soon. Very soon. But how....

xxxxxThat's when Y's phone went off. This time Namine chuckled, her voice traveling like a rumble of thunder in the quiet room. This message was conformation to the battle to come, and Namine didn't know how else to handle the situation. So she continued to laugh, increasing in volume when Y asked if they should change L's name.

xxxxx"I didn't want to say anything about this quiet yet, but their are other beings in this world that are much like shinigami. But we are here to keep the peace. Like justicators." Namine laughed again at her discription, she was quickly becoming high off of her own fear.

xxxxx"Namine-" Yamamoto seethed, suddenly furious. Namine glared at him, instantly silent. She was not about to deal with the rules that she was given so many years ago in the middle of a serious world crisis, and Yamamoto should know that by now.

xxxxx"If I don't tell him now, what do you think will happen? Huh?" Namine waited for Yamamoto to answer, but he only looked at her. "If this girl decides she wants to go out there and blab her heart out about what I'm about to say... Let her." Namine was growing much more sure of herself now, and knew she was absolutely right. "It is time that the people of this world know we are here, and if they don't accept that we are here to protect them... Well, I will tell them how to kill us. I'll give them the choice. I've lived long enough, and I'm tired of hiding in the shadows..." Namine was nearly in tears by this point, and was finding it hard to continue. "If they want us gone, so be it. We can not be left to blame when tragedy spreads world wide. Hah!" Namine was quickly getting ahead of herself and Yamamoto stood quickly knowing she was just about to shut down. Quickly he stood from his seat, catching Namine just barely before scooping her into his arms and gazing down at her with all the love in the world finally bared.

xxxxxYamamoto had always found Namine's passion to be endeering, and also hysterical whe her blood pressure would get her sso sstressed she often would faint. He chuckled at the memories for a moment, but quickly returned to the couch. His arms wrapped protectively around her small body as she curled up into a little ball and past out.

xxxxx"What the hell is going on?" L demanded after another short silence.

xxxxx"Namine... and myself... well, and even you now... Are the last of a dying breed. We are immortal, and that's the plainest word I can use to explain it. We were created to ensure that you species remains a present being, and doesn't die out. We are here to die for you in order to keep you alive if it comes down to that... And that is what Namine believes. She thinks it's time we come out and scream were ******** immortal and if you don't like it then hear take your best shot. Tell us you want us to go away, and we will."

xxxxx"What does this mean..." L whispered louder than he had thought he would have, and cringed slight at the sound of his own words.

xxxxx"You are one of us, a part of the immortal population, and just so happen to have joined at a rather depressing time for our species seeing as the three of us are the only ones left alive." Yamamoto rambled on an on, but L heard close to none of it.

xxxxx"If I'm immortal does this mean Kira, or light can not kill me?" L asked, biting down on his thumb hard when he worried for the outcome.

xxxxx"With a deathnote?" Yamamoto asked, immediately answering his own question. "No, it can't." Yamamoto stopped for a moment, suddenly becoming more nervouc with each new explanation. He didn't want to dig so deeply into the pit Namine and he had been dropped into so many years ago.

xxxxx"But there are plenty of ways for us to die, but we'll get to that later." Yamamoto said before looking to Y.

xxxxx"Y'all ready to kill light, to stop Kira from becoming the God he had so desperately wished to become?" Yamamoto chuckled darkly and shook Namine slightly in his arms to wake her. She grumbled a bit but eventually past back out. "Becuase there isn't much time left for deliberation... You believe us... or you don't..."

xxxxxSilently Namine listened to what was being said, doing her best to remain still and calm. She didn't want to fight Light. Like Y was trying to explain... Namine was just not cut out for murder, but could she do the impossible? Could she force a soul to merge with hers? Would anyone in the room even let her attempt to do something so dangerous? She knew the first wasn't going to happen. Murder was out of the question. The second was more plausible, though the stakes were high Namine had a better chance than Yamamoto did. The third... well, Namine was sure she could get around them... She only needed to find where Light's body was being held.

xxxxx"I don't think we should... destroy Light's soul either," L finally whispered, sadness causing his voice to crack. "But what other options do we have? We can't just bring him back to life... Can we?" L's voice was slightly more hopeful now, but still had an edge of sadness and even a hint of fear in it.

xxxxxYamamoto sighed, and Namine could feel the way his body turned to look away from them and off towards the shinigami as if she had all the answers in the world. Then after a time he looked back at L and Y, and sighed again. This time more deeply. "I don't think it's possible..." Yamamoto sounded just as weak as L. "And even if it was... the risks... are-are so great!" Yamamoto's gaze fell to Namine and a tear fell down off of his cheek, and onto her soft, pale skin.

xxxxxNamine's eyes fluttered open, and she tried her best to look weak and haggard as she sat up. "Sorry about that," Namine whispered, "When my blood pressure gets too high I tend to... faint." She gave her best fake smile, and chuckled under her breath; laughing at herself.

xxxxx"I think were all just tired," L replied, smiling sadly back at Namine and then turning to Y. "If it's alright with everyone else I think we should take a break and head for bed. Tommorrow morning we can decide how to act, and then Yamamoto can take us where we need to go if we decide to do anything at all." L laughed darkly and glanced at Y, and then looked back at her again when he noticed the crazy mixtures of aura that were fading out and returning. "I also want to have the chance to talk to you alone..." L whispered nervously, and Namine gritted her teeth. L's thoughts were like shouts in his mind, and she didn't even have to try to hear them.

xxxxx"I think L's right," Namine said, yawning and then looking for the clock. "It's almost three in the morning." Time had been speeding happily by as the small group had been sitting together, and Namine had to use the oppurtunity to her advantage.

xxxxx"I'll be in the attic if any of you need me," Yamamoto yawned too. "I'll leave the door wide open, and if you're afraid I'll leave you can tie me to the bedposts." He tried to laugh, but the heavily emotional weight of the room caused his chuckle to sound more hollow that carefree, as he stood from the couch. "Come on Noc," Yamamoto called, motioning for her to follow. "I don't think Namine and L's friend likes you too much."

xxxxx"I don't think it's that," Noctorie scowled. "She just doesn't like that she can't see me is all... Can't Namine just give her the sight?" Yamamoto gave Noctorie a stern look, and shook his head.

xxxxx"I don't think the girl wants to see you," Yamamoto said, as he turned the corner to the stairs. "She'd be even more afraid of your ugly skull jutting out at her." Noctorie cackled, as she followed slowly behind Yamamoto's retreating figure.

xxxxx"I think I'm going to go off to bed too," Namine said, streching and standing up to leave. "I'll be on the first floor if you need me, I don't want to go anywhere near Yamamoto for the rest of the night." She was extremely serious about what she said, and L could see that her aura was just as serious. L chuckled and bit his thumb.

xxxxx"I need to talk to you later as well, but it can wait till later," L called after Namine just as she rounded the corner and took the room at the end of the long hallway.

xxxxx"I'd rather not hear about your successful sex life," Namine called before slamming her door closed. It was still too touchy of a subject for her, and the last thing she wanted was for L to come into her room and apologize again.

xxxxxL's jaw dropped slightly, and his cheeks flushed. He was definately not expecting her to be so harsh, but he assumed he might feel the same way if Y rejected him. More nervous now than ever, L sighed and did his best to forget what Namine had said as he turned to look at Y.


xxxxx"Ignore that please?" L whispered, nibbling on his thumb again, and drawing his legs into his chest. He'd never felt so scared in his entire life, and as he gazed into Y's eyes he could feel his chest tighten in on his lungs. "Namine told me a few things about the new things I'm going to experience now that I'm... well... different." L began, pulling at the collar of his shirt with his free hand. "The first thing I noticed was that all of you have a strange glow around your bodies, and she called it your individual aura." L waited for a moment, but didn't want to give Y a chance to stop him. He wanted to get all of it out at once.

xxxxx"Your's was a mixture of blue's and purple's back then, but only a few minutes ago I saw one of the colors Namine tried to explain to me while you and Yamamoto were talking..." L could feel sweat beading on the back of his neck and he did his best to wipe it away without seeming suspicious. "She told me that the color pink was an emotional color that doesn't show too often... but when you were talking about me... earlier... I saw a strong streak of it flowing through the center of your... aura." Again L paused, but this time it wasn't really for effect, but more for his inability to contine without choking on his fear. "Na-Namine saw the same color on me when I was watching you a while back, and-and got angry. That's why she's mad now..."

xxxxxAll of L's thoughts were beginning to jumble together now, and concentration was supposed to be one of his best qualities. Y was going to be the death of him... again... He chuckled darkly to himself, and tried to continue on. But the words would not flow from his mouth when he parted his lips. He could only think of how soft Y's lips looked, and found himself being drawn forward...

QUICK NOTE: (I'm going to stop here, only because I want to give you a chance to say "y ran away nervously... or Y grabbed L and pulled him closer in a burst of emotional need... Something like that. lol.)


xxxxxNamine could hear L's rushed whispers as he tried to articulate the emotions he was feeling, and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek as she tried to imagine Y rejecting him. Would I even be able to live with being second place if he decided to come to me in his dispare? Namine wondered, another tear rolling down her other cheek as she imagined herself living with L, the thought of Y always at the front of his mind.

xxxxxNamine shook her head furiously, and forced the thought from her mind. Now wasn't the time to be sulking, and she could hear Yamamoto's nervous snoring. She laughed to herself she she remembered how quiet he would be one night, and how loud he would be the night before a test or something to that effect.

xxxxxSilently she stood from her bed, and moved to the window. It was already open, and she stepped through it with ease. Quickly she looked around the side of the house and then all around her. There was no one in sight for miles, and Yamamoto's window was just above the one she came through. It even had a pipeline reaching up to it, and it was also wide open. Carefully, she reached out for it; removing her shoes so her feet would have more leverage. Slowly she looked up at the window again, but as she stared at it... It seemed to pull further away from her.

xxxxx"Namine?" She heard a rough voice whisper her name, and she turned around quickly.

xxxxx"Dang it Noctorie!" Namine seethed angrily, yet quietly.

xxxxx"What are you doing down here?"

xxxxxNamine was silent for a moment, and then decided to take a very cautious appraoch with the shinigami.

xxxxx"I wanted to ask you about Light."

xxxxx"What did you want to know?" Noctorie streched out her wings, in order to seem more threatening.

xxxxx"You don't want him to be a shinigami huh?" Noctorie was taken aback by the simple question, and the soft sound of Namine's voice.

xxxxx"He must not be allowed entrance, but if he follows the steps to becoming one... Not even our king can stop him." Noctorie looked off toward the moon, and then returned her focus to Namine.

xxxxx"But you don't want Yamamoto getting hurt, do you?" Again, the shinigami was confused.

xxxxx"I would do anything to protect him..." Noctorie's voice was still calm, but even they feared.

xxxxx"What if I told you I could ensure that he is not hurt or killed?" Noctorie raised her head suspicous, but Namine could tell that her words were too wonderful to pass up.

xxxxx"What's the catch?" Noctorie whispered finally.

xxxxx"Take me to Light, and I will finish him myself. He will never again bother any of you." Namine said, her voice was resolute, and the shinigami could easily tell her words were true.

xxxxx"What do you mean by, you?"

xxxxx"Only I will suffer in the end, but you and Yamamoto... The rest of Earth and the Shinigami world will never hear from him again." Namine had hoped that Noctorie wouldn't catch on to her, but it was hard to trick a God of Death.

xxxxxNoctorie was silent for a time, and after a long while she looked up at the window she had most likely came from, and then quickly back to Namine.

xxxxx"Yamamoto is asleep now," Noctorie stated. "Let's go."

xxxxxNamine was suprised by the shinigami's suddenness, but without another word she took off running. Noctorie easily keeping up as she gave the direction.

xxxxxThe city was like a ghost town, not a soul insight this moonless summer night... But Namine didn't need the light to be able to see down the road. With Noctorie beside her, and her empowered vision there was no way that anyone would be able to see her first. Thoguh when the rain started to fall, Namine couldn't help but slow slightly as the sky cried in vain. She was headed somewhere she knew she shouldn't be, but she had to protect her friends the only way she could.

xxxxxShocked L found himself frozen in place. He was so sure that Y would react poorly to his confession, but her she was throwing everything out on the table, and he couldn't get his mouth to form the words he so desperately wanted to say. He watched in this shocked silence as Y's face turned seven different shades of red, even as she mumbled incoherent words, and finally turned to look him in the eyes and bared her heart to him.

xxxxx"Y," L choked out, his hand reaching out for hers, and closing around her wrist. Slowly, and carefully he pulled her closer and she seemed compliant enough so he began to lean forward too. Time seemed to slow then, and L could feel his heart rate increase as he released Y's wrist to sweep across her bright red cheeks. "I love you..." He pressed his lips against hers, deliberately taking it slow so she could push him off if she wanted him to stop. Though when she didn't L could feel himself losing his mind to an all new feeling he never imagined existed. He pulled back after a few moments, and smiled; his eyes gleaming as he imagined Y staying by his side for all of eternity.

xxxxxThen it hit him... Eternity... Y was still human... And L was no longer...

xxxxxI can't force her to live my life, but I'm not letting this opportunity pass me by... I will die when she dies, nothing more... Nothing less... L thought as he gazed into Y's gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, and he sighed happily even though his mind was trying to turn the situation dim.

xxxxx"I will always love you."


xxxxxNamine and Noctorie continued down the road in silence, both focusing carefully on anyone and everyone that happened by. They were hidden perfectly under the cover of darkness, but caution was key. Namine knew that Noctorie didn't care how she got rid of Light as long as he was gone, but she also knew that Noctorie was the only one who felt that way.

xxxxxFinally, Noctorie motioned for Namine to stop and she moved to an odd looking barrel and flipped a switch. Slowly, the barrel turned a few times, and opened to reveal a long tunnel-like structure. Namine sighed and watched as Noctorie slipped into the large opening, and quickly Namine followed suit.

xxxxxThankfully, the incline wasn't too steep and the two were able to infiltrate in silence because there were three guards waiting just inside. Flashlight's in hand, and eyes drooping as the night began to wear on them. Namine chuckled under her breath, and raised her hands as if stretching out to the small group and whispered a string of words that had the guards falling over each other as one after another past out into the deepest sleep of their entire lives.

xxxxxNoctorie cackled and continued on, taking a few quick lefts and finally coming to a large metal door.

xxxxx"I hope you can hack into the system within three tries," Noctorie cackled again, and pointed to the alarm that set near by. Namine turned to glare at Noctorie for not mentioning this beforehand, but turned back to the door in silence. She knew this was going to be difficult, but was hoping Noctorie would be a little more helpful.

xxxxxNamine cracked her knuckles and looked over every inch of the area in careful consideration. The door wasn't nearly as elaborate as the mechanisms that she kept at home, and it only took a minute and a half to figure out how to get past it.

xxxxxFocusing carefully on the number pad, Namine closed her eyes and tuned in to the cool energy that she could feel barely hanging on each key. All four finger prints were a dark black color from then amount of time that had passed and Namine sighed.

xxxxx"How many numbers?" Namine whispered to Noctorie, and the shinigami tapped on the door five times. Curious of her actions Namine narrowed her eyes and took a quick look behind them to see a shadow moving slowly towards them. Furious, Namine snapped her fingers and the body feel to the floor instantaneously. Noctorie cackled again and Namine glared at her. "Do you want me to keep Yamamoto alive or not?" I challenged her rebellious attitude, and her laugh stopped cold.

xxxxxA few moments later, Namine turned back to the door and refocused on the numbers. She knew that the three came first and the nine came last, but she was unsure of the three middle numbers. She concentrated harder and tried to hear the buzz the energy gave off, and the number two she realized had two distinctly different sounds coming from it. This not only meant that it was repeated, but also that the two twos were separated.

xxxxx"Three, Two, Seven, Two, Nine." Namine whispered to herself, as she tried to imagine the code working. It clicked in her head, but something seemed off. Though the two two's were separated, the second two had a quieter sound than the seven.

xxxxxNervous, but confident Namine raised her hand to the key pad and pushed the number three and the first lock light turned from red to green. Then she pushed the number two and the second light switched to green as the next bar released itself. Then, Namine waited for a few long moments and reached for the number two again, and the red light flickered and went out. Namine held her breath, her heart beating hard in her chest. Then just before Namine felt herself running extremely low on oxygen, the light flickered on again and the green light came on as the lock slowly loosened.

xxxxxNamine breathed out in a rush and chuckled under her breath, and reached up to push in the next number just as a pale hand wrapped around hers.

xxxxx"You shouldn't be here-" The voice was cut off and Namine glared at the gutsy guard as he slid to the floor, and looked up to find that Noctorie was gone. Fear pumped like venom through Namine's veins, but she trudged on. She had to save her friends, and she was going to do it with or without the shinigami.

xxxxxQuickly Namine put in the last two numbers and each light turned green, and the door popped open to reveal a white room. Light was only feet in front of her, and when she heard the sounds of footsteps slamming against tile she took a quick step inside; pulling the large door closed behind her.

xxxxxLoud bangs came down on the metal door, and Namine chuckled as she quickly weaved a spell to repel intruders. Yamamoto wouldn't even be able to get through their, and a sad smile ghosted across her face as she imagined the hatred he would feel towards her when she realized what she planned to do.

xxxxxWashing away her emotions, Namine shook her head back and forth a few times and breathed in a few deep breaths before taking a few steps toward Light's surprisingly well preserved body.

xxxxx"Hello there handsome," Namine whispered, reaching into her cloak and pulling out a large dark leather bag and dumping the contents to the floor. Five large candles, a sharp athame, a piece of chalk, and a lighter fell against the floor with a loud thud and Namine flinched slightly at the sound. A small tear sliding down her cheek as she bent down and drew a large circle around herself and Light with the small stick of chalk.

xxxxxNext she placed a think candle at five different points on the circle, and wiped the water from her face. At the top of the circle was a candle with a few pentagram symbols cut into it, on the upper left was a red candle to symbolize fire, on the upper right was a blue candle to symbolize water, on the lower left was a green candle to symbolize earth, and on the bottom right was a white candle to symbolize air. Then she quickly moved back around the circle after lighting the candles, blessing the elements, and asking for guidance.

xxxxxNormally Namine didn't care for wiccan formalities because her spells weren't often as dangerous as the string of intricate spells she was about to weave. She sighed when finished, and moved to the center of the circle to stand before Light. It was time to start the ritual, and now with all the energy she had drawn Namine was ready to begin.

xxxxxSlowly and steadily, Namine began to speak in a clear and authoritative voice.



xxxxxAs Namine began to speak the words, she could see a thick darkness begin to swirl around the room above them, but she stood firm. She was not afraid of Light, and she knew she could handle the beginning with ease. It was the blast few moments that were going to be difficult, because Light would begin to realize what was happening.

xxxxxThe black smoke thickened quickly, and Namine knew he was strong when he began to hear the threats so early. She hadn't expected him to realize what was happening so quickly, but she also knew that there was a chance he was being feed the details. Forcing herself to remain calm, Namine continued to chant the words.

xxxxxThen the smoke rushed forward, and Namine raised one of her hands to the side a shield envisioned in her mind as she focused on keeping Light's soul separated from his body for the time being. Then, after a long few minutes Namine beckoned to the fire with her free hand and it began to follow her direction. Of course, Light knew what she was doing and immediately slammed against her visual shield, almost breaking through her concentration... But Namine was much more mentally strong then physical and knew that no matter how quick witted Light was, he wouldn't be able to truly fight against her until it was already too late for him to enter into his body. It was too late now, and Light's soul cried out in extreme fury and mental pain. It was like he could feel the flames as they licked there way up his jeans and marred his skin.

xxxxx"Find Yamamoto, now!" Came an infuriated voice on the other side of the door. Namine did her best to pay it no attention, and continued to move forward with the ritual. Light's body was engulfed in flames at this point, and only seconds were left before Light would be a lost soul with only one body to inhabit...

xxxxxNamine slowly began to build up her mental defenses as Light's cries began to decrease in volume, she knew it would take him a few moments to relax himself even after his body ceased to burn, and she used that small amount of time to her advantage. His screams became whimpers, and his whimpers became soft whispers as he tried to console himself.

xxxxxI could tell that he had recovered quickly, but I also knew that the stronger you were mentally the longer that type of pain stayed with you. Sadly, I was dead wrong...

xxxxxLight's smoky figure recovered much faster than I had expected, and before I had a chance to fully block myself he slammed hard against the weakest part of my inner shield and I could feel it begin to crumble as I fell against the floor. Even through that Namine still forced her lips to chant the words as she rubbed her temples, and pushed herself back up from the floor.

xxxxxNamine's fury was tangible now, and Light's dusky former narrowed his eyes and took on a more human form and stepped closer to Namine. Something about her made him curious, and Namine could tell he was beginning to wonder if the possibility of possessing Namine was a better idea than becoming an invisible God... He wanted to be immortal, and visible. He wanted people to see him, and fear him.

xxxxxHis dark smoky hand reached out to Namine's and she pretended to ignore him until his figure began to turn, and then she charged him and used the last of the energy she had collected to grab hold of the globe that set in the center of his solar plexus. Then, before Light could react she tugged with all her might and forced his soul... to integrate with hers.
