It happened quickly; first Rem killed Watari, Light smiled to himself as he watched the scene fold out in front of him.

"Where's the shinigami?!" Ryuzaki demanded. Chief Yagami, Light's father, looked up and around saying,

"Oh yeah, where did…"

'If Watari is dead…Amane hasn't seen Watari's face…did Light Yagami do something when he stepped outside earlier…?' Ryuzaki thought narrowing his eyes, 'But nobody knows Watari's name…but a shinigami could…'

"Everyone, the shiniga…" he started to say something but stopped, Light's eyes narrowed as he watched his enemy.

"Huh? What's wrong, Ryuzaki?" Chief Yagami asked. Ryuzaki remained silent before keeling over off his chair, Light quickly moved in and caught him before he hit the floor.

"Ryuzaki!?"

The young man grabbed Light by the shoulder, a wide-eyed look of shock and realization on his face.

'Light Yagami…!'

Unnoticed by the other task force members in the room, Light had an evil look of satisfaction on his face, Ryuzaki's grip loosened,

'I knew it…I wasn't…wrong…' the pain in his chest grew, 'I…but…' Ryuzaki lost consciousness.

"Ryuzaki!" Light shook him, "Hey Ryuzaki!"

"Calm down, Light!" his father quickly said. Light looked up,

"We'll all be killed!" he snapped fearfully, "Watari…Ryuzaki…and now us…"

A sudden wave of shock and fear spread through the task force members, Light mentally smirked.

"L-let's get an ambulance…" Mogi then said trying to stay calm.

"What about a family member…?" Aizawa asked.

"That's not a problem, I'll accompany him…" Light's father said.

--

An hour later at the hospital, Chief Yagami walked out of the emergency room into the lobby. The task force members all looked up, none of them liked the look on their superior officer's face.

"Ryuzaki is in a coma and critical condition." He informed. Light looked up with a slightly shocked expression.

"W-what?"

"The doctor said there's a good chance he'll die in the next few hours, it's hard to say…it could be sooner." His father explained. Light just lowered his head for a moment before getting up and walking away.

'Damn it!' he thought, 'L was supposed to die…oh well, he'll be dead soon enough.'

--

Mean while in the emergency room the doctors and nurses monitored L's condition, he was still in critical condition and didn't appear to be getting better. But what they didn't realize was that he was already gone, his body was still alive but his mind and soul had disappeared.

The Gate

It stood twenty maybe even thirty feet with dark distorted figures carved into its sides. The door had a large swirling eye like engraving on it to complete its beautifully terrifying appearance. L stood gazing at this large doorway with a mixture of curiosity and confusion. What was it? Where was he? What was on the other side?" Everything he knew seemed to be fading in and out of recollection, but one thing remained vivid in his mind and that was that he knew something vitally important.

As L contemplated what that was, the doorway suddenly creaked open. The doors slowly opened to reveal a pitch black void. L tried saying something but nothing came out, he looked down for a split second then back up just in time to see eyes, hundreds of them, starring at him; and the large purple one that sent an unexplainable wave of fear thought him. Then almost as suddenly, long jet black arms extended out of the Gate.

Admittedly startled, L turned to run only to be knocked off his feet and dragged into the darkness, the doors closing slowly behind him. Once inside the Gate everything was a blinding light, oranges and yellows flashing, then images. Images flooded L's mind and vision, some things he recognized but couldn't place and others of things and people he's never seen before. Then it stopped and everything went black.

An Undisclosible Location

Bolts of alchemic energy lit up a dark room as a man stood just to the right of a large and intricate transmutation circle. The man was fairly built and had a somewhat scruffy appearance, his long blond hair hanging messily down his shoulders. There were two other figures in the room; a very attractive woman with long black hair and long black dress and a young man with somewhat feminine features and long black dreadlock like hair.

The alchemic energy died down and the room went dark, the woman then lit some candles as the feminine looking young man said impatiently,

"So? What is it?"

"He is your new little brother." The scruffy man said simply.

"Another one?" The woman said crossing her arms and eyeing the still form in the center of the large transmutation circle.

"Yes Lust, he will be called Apathy." The man said, "You two will go to Laboratory Five and take him with you."

"What!?"

"I have a reason for sending him with you Envy; do not question your father." The man said coldly before turning, "And make sure to give him the red stones, I don't want him running around causing trouble." He then left the room.

Envy scoffed and then eyed the figure on the ground, in an irritated rage he walked over and kicked the new sin. This action caused the new sin to reach out quickly and grab Envy by the ankle.

"Let go you little pain in the ass!" Envy shouted, it was then that he got a good look at his new little brother. Apathy's appearance was that of someone who was in their early to mid-twenties; his eyes starred emotionlessly into Envy's, almost as if he were trying to read his every move and thought. Apathy then let go of Envy and stood up unsteadily, he stood about an inch taller then Envy and had mid-length black hair that looked as if he'd just rolled out of bed; he also seemed to be slouching.

"Interesting," Lust said, "Lets go you two…the FullMetal boy should already be at the laboratory. Envy scoffed again and stalked away, Apathy didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, he just stood there for a moment.

'Where am I?'
