~{Y/N}'s POV~

I could barely breathe as I knelt down on the floor, coughing so much that my vision was going blurry.

This feeling... don't tell me that Lawliet's in danger.

A few minutes passed, Matt and Mello rubbing my back, and then the coughing fit ceased. "Mello," I managed, "I have this... an intuition... and I think Law's in danger."

Mello's blue eyes reflected in my own eyes and I could see the pain in his pupils, the utter fear that our baby boy was going through what we'd been through.

"What kind of danger?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"I have no idea. I don't care if you have to carry me to see what's going on, we need to get there now."

Without a single word, Matt knelt down, slung my body onto his back, and stood up. "Come on, {Y/N}," he said, placing his hands behind him so he could hold me. "Let's get you to earth again."

Mello stared at us in shock and nodded.  "Thanks, Matt."

"It's not a problem, Mel, it's not the first time I've ever carried her."

I chuckled and buried my face in Matt's red hair. It had a nice, almost floral smell, with a small and faint bit of cigarette scent. "Matty, you're the best." I whispered, and I could practically feel his smile.

"Well, yeah. Should've realized it sooner. You could've married me instead of Legally Blond over there."

"Hey," Mello growled, "You shouldn't be talking, Strawberry Shortcake."

"Whatever, Howl Pendragon," Matt dismissed, and I laughed.

"Howl Pendragon..."

"O-oh, yeah? Well, at least I don't look like Tendou Satori when I put gel in my hair!"

I gasped. "Oh, shit, Matt, he brought in the big gay volleyball guns."

Light rolled his eyes and looked at us with pleading eyes. "Please stop with the bickering," he begged, "It's already bad enough that I'm handcuffed to this ass."

He gestured to L, who gave him the finger. "Well, there goes your shot at any sex when we reach our destination."

Light's eyes went wide and he shook his head. "No, L, baby, I'm sorry!!"

As L and Light had their own little argument, B turned around and began to walk backwards. "{Y/N}," he said, "Welcome to the Shinigami Realm."

It was barren and there wasn't a single person in sight. Mello looked shocked, as if he could see something, and so did L and Light, but Matt and I stood there, confused.

"I... I don't understand." I muttered, "There's nothing here."

The others can see something, so why can't I?

"She hasn't touched a Death Note." Mello explained, and Light sighed.

"Let me go find one."

"No." Matt, Mello, and I replied in immediate unison. It was obvious what our concern was...

"I'll go with him, don't worry. I kind of have to." L said, and Mello nodded.

We can trust them...

"Okay, we'll wait here," I said, toying with Matt's hair nervously.

All we can do at this point... is wait.

~Lawliet's POV~

I awoke to the soft sound of light snoring beside me. When I gathered enough strength to lift myself up from my bed, I saw that Near was sleeping on the floor, clutching my parents' things.

He actually stayed the whole night with me, huh?

I got up, trying to be as silent as possible as I gathered my things together. My hips killed, and there were bruises covering my torso and hips. "Shit," I whispered, and Near's eyes fluttered open.

Fucking hell...

"Mornin', kiddo," he managed, yawning and stretching his arms and then rubbing his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Near," I immediately apologized, "You can go back to sleep. Just let me go to the bathroom and get us food from the dining hall."

Near shook his head. "I told you yesterday, I'm not leaving you alone, and I'm gonna make sure Hikaru Yagami stays away from you."

I nodded in agreement and waited for Near to get up, and he really did follow me to the bathroom, and then the dining hall. While we sat and ate oatmeal for breakfast, Near looked up at me. "Listen, kiddo, I want you to know that I'm here for you. I know, you probably don't want to even think about what happened, which is fine, and understandable. But why didn't you tell me?"

I swallowed my food and looked Near in the eyes, and in them was a genuine concern for me. "It's... hard to explain. I didn't wanna let you down, I guess."

"You'd never let me down. You're the only kid in here that couldn't ever do that, no matter how hard you tried." He exclaimed, "I'm just glad that I caught it. I'm gonna make sure Hikaru gets dealt with."

"How? We can't just kick him out of Wammy's House."

Near cocked an eyebrow and I gasped. "You're not..."

"The idea has promising parts, but it'd make things a bit complicated for Roger. I don't know. An old friend of mine is coming in today, so I'll have him deal with it."

I nodded. "Who's the friend? Like, what's his name, I mean?"

"He's actually someone I met during the Kira case. His name is Gevanni."

~{Y/N}'s POV~

"Hey, {Y/N}," Mello said, "Isn't that one of the things you can use to see Earth with??"

I looked to where he was gesturing and lo and behold, a small, almost hologram-like image of Earth was floating in the air. "Good eye, Mells." I muttered as I ran over to it, Mello, Matt and B trailing behind me.

As we peered down to Earth and imagined Wammy's House in our minds, a clear view of Lawliet was visible. Looking down at a photo.

My little boy...

We watched as he got up and answered the door, talking to his friend and inviting him inside. It was a few seconds before his friend pinned him to the door and began groping him. The sight made me angry, and absolutely sick to my stomach. "M-Mello..." I began, "Please tell me I'm hallucinating."

When Mello didn't reply, I gasped and placed hands over my mouth. "Oh, my god, we have to go down there now."

"Light and L reworking on it, I'm sure," Mello said, and I shot him a glare.

"Our child is being raped and you want me to sit here and watch??"

"We can't do anything, {Y/N}" he explained, "I know you hate this, but we're powerless right now."

"No," I insisted, "We're not."

I turned to B, who couldn't even look at the image displayed before us. "B," I began, "You have the Shinigami eyes, right? You can do something, right?? Anything?"

B looked into my eyes for a moment before looking away, an I felt my heart drop. "...we really can't do anything?"

"Until L and Light get back, I guess not," Matt whispered, walking over to me and pulling me close to him.

"Matt," I mumbled, "He's hurting. Someone hurt my baby."

"Don't worry, I'll figure out how to get us down there."

"I always said that I'd protect you and him, {Y/N}," Mello agreed, "I'm going to get you down there as soon as I can."

When we noticed the odd silence of B, I pulled away from Matt and walked over to him. "B... what's wrong?'

"I'm sorry, {Y/N}," he muttered, "I really am. That boy, with Lawliet, he's not some random boy."

"B, what're you--?"

"That boy... he's Misa Amane's son. He's the child of Light and Misa."

~L's POV~

"So, you want me to help you get Mello's wife back down to Earth?"

"Yes, Ryuk," Light replied, "We need a Death Note. Or some way to get down there."

"Why?" The Shinigami questioned, and he sighed.

"I told you already, her son's in danger, and she needs to get down there. Plus she wants to say a  final goodbye."

"No, I mean, why are you helping them?"

Light began to reply, only to close his mouth an take a small and shy glance at me. "It's..." he whispered, "It's for L."

"Switching sides, are we, Light?'"

"You know that I loved him. Shit went to hell when we killed him. I... Mello's part of his family. So is Mello's wife."

Ryuk remained silent for a few seconds before hesitantly passing us a black notebook. "Use this Death Note. It's not yours, so don't worry about regaining your Kira personality or losing your mind, as long as you don't use it, you'll be fine."

My face lit up, and I bowed. "Thanks so much, Ryuk," I gleamed, "Okay, Light, let's go!"

We began running back to where we'd left everyone waiting, and ran into a tall white-haired male. "Ow, shit, sorry, man."

I looked up at him to see an eerily familiar face. 

A.

"Ah, well, if it isn't L. I was poking for you and your little boy scout group." He chuckled, "But I see that you and your boyfriend went for a stroll."

"Fuck you, A," I said, and he looked at Light and noticed the Death Note.

"Well, well, well, back to your sick, twisted ways, are we, Kira?"

"Shut up, that's none of your business."

"But that's where you're wrong. You see, I'm looking for {Y/N}, and B,so it is my business."

"Screw off, and leave them alone," I exclaimed.

"Don't worry,L, Light, it's going to be fine. Now, let's play, shall we?"

Game on.
