Light's POV

It's the middle of the night. I'm bored out of my mind, but with the glow of that freaking laptop is keeping me up. L sits there, emotionless, occasionally doing something i'd never seen him do before: press his nils hard into his throat, then relax a bit and continue working, ignoring the blood that formed at the edges of the little cuts. I don't think he knows I'm awake. Finally, he shuts the laptop. In the dim glow of the moonlight, I see his expression. It's horrifying.

An empty, dead look is in his face, eyes vacant of life. His skin seems paler in the night. He uncuffs his wrist, making almost no noise. L...what are you doing? He leaves, smiling. This cannot be good... I sit up, and hold the chain to my arm to keep it silent. As I walk into the living room, I see him sitting in the chair, head bent down laughing, not very loud, but there, full and..joyous. But also wild. Out of control.

"Ryuzaki?" I ask, coming forward. His head lifts. Strangely, his lips are a deep red...and wet...Holy shit. Blood coats his lips and the outside of them a little pit. His eyes flash.

"Get the hell away from me, Kira." He basically spits the last word. I hold my hands up in false surrender.

"I just was wondering what was wrong with you. You looked dememted wen you left." I snapped. He stood up.

"I. Don't. Need. Help. I. am. Fine." He says, grabbing his arm, but it's too late. I've seen it already. The bloody sleve. I freze.

"Your cutting yourself, aren't you?" I said, my voice limp and calm, definetly not showing the panic I was feeling.

"It's manditory." He said, shrugging. That made me snap.

"Can I talk to you outside, because I'm going to rip your fucking head off and I don't want to get blood all over the carpet." I growled. L smirked.

"Proves your Kira." He muttered, uncuffed me, then left. I followed. We were outside in the middle of the night. I was freezing. Better make this short.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you know better than to do that? You could cut an artery! Come on, think." I yelled He flinched and screamed back at me,

"You know what Light, I've been doing this since I was 8! I know what I'm doing! I'm not going to cut an artery! You think...urgh!" His voice lowered and he shook me, "You are Kira. You effing kill people. Why should you care if I'm cutting myself. I'm just another target on your goddamn kill list." He hissed.

"I could never kill you." I said. And I was being truthful. He smiled.

"Then I'll have to do it myself."

A/N This is just a preview, should I continue?
