The nipping air of September hit Light's face as he stood in front of the cheap motel 6 with his father. Sayu and his mother were comfortable seated in the backseat of the taxi cab that was only two feet away from them. Light had already said his goodbyes to them.

"Once you are done here call me and I will come pick you up," Soichiro said as he placed his hands on Light shoulders and squeezed them lightly. "It will be enough to see you at the Japanese airport," Light replied, not wanting to mention that he was going to need time to reform his mask, before he ever saw his family again.

"I'll come and get you," Soichiro said with a determined glint in his eyes. "Dad it will be a waste of money for you to come back to London. Meeting you in Japan will be enough," Light replied with a reassuring smile on his lips. "Are you sure?" Soichiro asked looking uncertain. "I'm positive," Light responded, making sure his smile did not waver.

"If you don't leave now you are going to miss your flight," Light pointed out un-willingly. "I will see you later," Soichiro said as he bought Light into a tight hug, before releasing him reluctantly. "I'll see you before your retirement," Light reassured his father. Soichiro walked in front of the yellow taxi cab and threw one last look to Light, before he entered the car.

Soichiro had told Sachiko and Sayu Light was going to be studying in London because he didn't have the heart to tell them that Light would be staying in London to sell his body to complete strangers to pay off the debt. Sachiko thought it was already paid off and Soichiro felt the guilt pile up on his mind.

"Light good luck with school!" Sayu cheered as she rolled down the window and smiled brightly at her brother. "I will, try to keep up with your own school work," Light teased while smiling at his sister. Sayu pouted before smiling again, "see you in a few years," she cheered as the taxi cab pulled away. Light watched the taxi pull away with Sayu waving frantically as the cab disappeared around the corner.

A few minutes later a sleek, black limousine pulled up in front of Light. The back car door opened once the vehicle had come to a complete stop. "Yagami Light get in," a deep voice said from inside the limousine. "Who are you?" Light asked as he peered into the car coolly. "I see your father taught you to never get in a car with a stranger," Higuchi said with a deep laugh.

"Kyosuke Higuchi," Light asked wearily. "Yes, now get in," Higuchi responded as the driver got out of and took the large brown suitcase by Light's feet, and placed it in the trunk. Light slid into the car and shut the door behind him.

"You're going to be working for me for a long time, I believe I should begin your lessons by how to act when picked up in a car," Higuchi said as a perverted grin made it's away across his face. "I'm only working for you until the debt is paid off," Light reminded the older man firmly.

"Don't be like that Light, we are going to be good friends," Higuchi said as he rested his left hand on Light's inner thigh. "It's illegal for me to be in any type of sexual relationship with someone over the age of eighteen," Light replied off handily, but he knew Higuchi wouldn't care, after all Higuchi was the one who came up this plan.

"You're not going to squeal on me because I have men in Japan, who will rape and kill your family if you don't behave," Higuchi replied with a crocked grin crossing his face. "I think you are bluffing, it's not like you are a mobster and have other factions throughout the world," Light stated calmly but felt his heart beat pounding in his chest.

"And here I thought you wanted to protect your family, but if you would like to see your mother and sister raped," Higuchi said as he pulled out his cell phone and began to dial a number. "Leave my family out of this," Light hissed angrily. "Are you going to be a good boy than?" Higuchi asked with a small sneer on his face.

Light narrowed his eyes in anger, before responding. "Yes," he seethed before a large grin settled upon Higuchi's face. "Good," Higuchi said as he yanked on Light's wrist and pulled the teenager to kneel in front of him. "What the hell," Light snapped as he glared at Higuchi.

"Now is not the time for pride Light, especially when we get back to the bar," Higuchi said with a smirk crossing his face. "Now some of your clients are going to pick you up like this, and you are expected to do one of three things. They are to give the customer a hand job, a blow job, or sex," Higuchi said as he un-zippered his pants. Light's glare intensified, but he made sure he did not say anything.

"Remember your place, because you are nothing but an object now," Higuchi sneered as he un-buttoned his boxer's and let his erected penis come out. "All young boys know how to do a hand job, it's about time you learned how to give a blow job," Higuchi said as he let go of Light's chin and planted his hand firmly in Light's amber hair.

Light felt his body freeze. He knew he agreed to do this, but this was too much, for him on the first day. His mind wasn't ready for this.

"I'm waiting," Higuchi said as he reclined against the plush leather seat. "Take my length into your mouth; I am going to teach you how to give your client a blow job. Later on you will learn how to surpass the gag reflex." Higuchi said with a smirk on his lips,

Light hesitated, before swallowing some of his pride. This was for his family he reminded himself. Leaning forward Light took Higuchi's disgusting length into his mouth.

"Welcome to the business," Higuchi said coldly.

The next day had come and gone, and Light had been able to resist going to a dealer. But his bones were screaming at him. Moving was painful and it was one of the few times Light was glad that most of the time he bottomed.

"Light, earth to Light, you have another customer," Misa said waving a hand in front of Light's face. "I know Misa, thanks," Light said as he moved around her to the Volkswagen. "How can I help you," Light asked as he placed a charming smile on his thin lips. "Let's go somewhere more private," a gruff voice said and Light moved around the car so he could sit in the passenger seat.

"How much is a blow job?" the man asked as he drove to a deserted parking light, that was only six blocks away from his usually corner. The light's in the parking lot were broken with only two street lamps working. The gruff man drove to the darkest corner. "Two hundred," Light replied as he faced the other man with a small grin on his face.

"Alright," the man agreed as he un-buckled his seat belt and quickly unbuttoned his pants. "Would you like me to get you hard?" Light asked in a sultry tone. "Does that cost extra?" the man asked gruffly. Light leaned forward until he was near the other's man's ear. "It's free," Light purred into the fat man's ear. "Get me hard," the man ordered and Light un-buckled his seat belt, to get better access.

He stared at the man's beer gut wondering where to even start. "We should recline the seat, so it will more enjoyable," Light said, deciding not to mention that there was no way he could find the other man's penis if he didn't.

"The seat is broken," the man responded and Light mentally cursed. His body was already screaming at him for any unnecessary movements. "I see, then let's slid your pants further down," Light said as the man lifted his fat body upwards and Light's nimbly hands pulled the pants and boxers down to the man's thick knees.

Digging his right hand under the overlapping fat, Light hoped that he had grabbed the other man's penis; a grunt sound alerted Light that he was right. It didn't take long before he got the other man to become hard. "I want your mouth on my member," The man said as he gripped Light's hair tightly and forced him down. Light withheld a cringe as his head was placed directly in the man's hairy stomach.

Light got onto his knees and balanced himself on the small seat. Picking up some of the fat, Light titled his head to the side before wrapping his warm mouth around the other's man's member. He began a steady rhyme of bobbing his head while darting his tongue out every so often to lick up the small shaft and dart his tongue into the silt.

The man's hand forced Light's head to go down further hitting the back of Light's throat and the sudden action caused Light to lightly bite the penis. 'Oh shit,' Light thought as he felt his body tense up.

"What the hell!" the customer screeched as he forced Light's head away from his member. "You're supposed to be the best and you bite me!" the man hissed angrily as he took Light's head and slammed it against the dash board. Light gripped his head as soon as the other man released him. 'That fucking hurt. The stupid pig of a man,' Light thought angrily before he realized there was warm liquid running down his face. He pulled his hand back and stiffened it. 'Metallic scent, so I must be bleeding, great," Light thought as he applied pressure to his hand again.

"How dare you bite me, I am worth so much more than you, you fuckin' hooker," the man sneered angrily.

"My apologies," Light replied with fake sincerity. "You're going to finish what you started, and then you are going to walk back," the man scorned. Light made a sound of agreement as he took off his shirt and gently started dapping at his wound to get the blood of. "Perhaps I should fuck you in the back seat instead," the man said as he greedily ran his eyes over Light's toned chest. "You would owe me one thousand and seven hundred dollars than," Light said as he carefully put his shirt back on.

"Just finish what you started," the man said as he reclined in his seat. Light leaned forward again and took the man's length into his mouth. His hand came to grip the fat man's balls and Light began to massage them in a circular motion. The other man began to moan and soon he released his seed into Light's mouth.

Swallowing the seamen, Light pulled away while wiping his mouth. He allowed the other man to ride out his orgasm before bringing up the issue of money. "I will give you a hundred dollars," the man said and Light eyes narrowed slightly. "You still got the blow job how about one fifty," Light said knowing he would not get the full two hundred. "You should be glad I am not going to report this," the other man said as he pulled out five twenty's and gave it to Light. "Now get out of my car," the man said as he pulled his pants back up.

Light opened the car door and got out before slamming it behind him. The car backed up and drove away into the night. Placing his hand back on his head Light felt blood running down his face again.

He made his way out of the abandoned parking lot before starting down the sidewalk that lead back to his corner.

"Hey, you," a voice called from behind Light. He turned his attention to the man who had addressed him. "Come here, I have something that might interest you," the joker face said while chuckling to himself.

"What would that be?" Light asked wearily, wanting to go to a bathroom so he could clean up his face and take some a painkiller. "If you don't come over, how will you know?" the voice said knowingly. With a sigh Light took the few steps over to stare at the other man. The man had black spiky hair and looked like he had yellow skin. He was wearing a heart shaped earring in his left ear. Black clothes covered his body with fish net's for the arms and baggy black pants decorated with heavy chains.

"What could you have that I could possibly want?" Light asked as he stared at the emo looking teenager. "I have white lady," the teen said as he dug though his back pocket and pulled out a bag with white powder in it. The creepy looking man shook the bag in front of Light's tired face.

'Heroin," Light said quietly as he looked at the other man skeptical. "Indeed, I will sell it to you for twenty dollars," the teen said as a joker smile settled upon his face. "What makes you think I want to take drugs?" Light asked as his eyes lingered on the white heroin before meeting with the black lined eyes. "I can spot anyone who has every taken heroin, even if it was only once," Ryuuk said knowingly. "You must be an excellent drug dealer," Light replied dryly.

"I usually don't sell drugs, but you seem like you need this. After all even gay for pays need a pick me up," Ryuuk said mockingly. Light narrowed his eyes at the comment. "So what do you say?" Ryuuk asked as he smirked knowingly.

It was right there, dangling directly in front of him. Calling out to him with the promise of taking away the pain; he could finally relax again.

The withdrawal symptoms would be showing up in two days. But it would be a sign of defeat.

He had never lost anything before and now he was considering a drug addiction to heroin; one of the worst addictions to have. It was an un-stable drug. It was easy to overdose on, if the injection site changed. Taking heroin was like playing with death.

"Alright," Light heard himself saying as he pulled a twenty dollar bill out of his blue jeans. "If you would like to continue these services meet me here," Ryuuk said as a large gin settled upon his face. Light said nothing as he took the bag and placed it in his back pocket. He ignored the other mans call of see you later as he made his way to the rundown looking McDonalds.

Light walked into the McDonalds, through the back entrance, where no one would see him. The white walls were chipped and the floors looking like they had not been swept in weeks. Light made his way into the men's bathroom to stand in front of the smeared mirror. He winced at the sight of his imperfect reflection. 'The outside is matching the inside,' he thought with a crocked grin on his abused face before examining himself closer.

There was dried up blood starting from his forehead running all the way down to his neck. It covered almost half of his face and was all over his maroon shirt. Grabbing some paper towels, Light ran them under the sink water. Once they were satisfactory, Light raised the paper towel to his head and very careful wiped at the part where he had cut his head on the dashboard.

It came of easily and he began to move the paper towel down to clean the rest of his face. It took him twenty minutes to get all the blood of and make himself look more presentable. Relief washed over him as he realized he was not going to need snitches, but he was still going to have to cover up his wound for a few days.

Tossing the bloody paper towels into the trash can, Light walked out of the fast food restaurant and decided he was going to have to go home before he could work the streets again.

Making his way down the street, Light tried not to wince at each painful step. His muscles felt heavy and each step in front of the other was screaming at him to get off his feet and just go to sleep already. But his life would not allow such a luxury. It took him fifteen minutes to reach his corner.

A taxi cab was coming down the road and Light hailed the cab as soon as it was close enough. But the cab kept going and Light released a small sigh of annoyance. The wind picked up, as Light began his trek to his apartment building.

Another twenty minutes passed before he got back to his apartment building and cursed the fact that he lived on the third floor. Every part of his body was blaring at him, but he was going to have to endure. He needed the money and taking an un-scheduled day of was a stupid idea.

It felt heavy, in his back pocket. The heroin being an extra weight in his life that he did not need, but the promise of what it held for him was so tempting. He pulled the bag out of his pocket and stared at the heroin blankly. 'It would be so easy to take some now. Let it wrap me in a warm cocoon where the world around doesn't exist anymore. Life can finally freeze for me and let me have those few moments of peace,' Light thought as he stared at the bag wistfully.

The clock, on his nightstand, was flashing ten thirty p.m. Cursing slightly Light put the heroin in his night dresser top drawer, before hurrying around his room to put on a clean shirt. Once that was done, Light made a bee-line to the bathroom and placed a bandage on his head after cleaning the cut.

Locking the apartment door, Light made his way down the stairs, at a decent pace, since he wasn't willing to push his body too hard at the moment. He hailed a taxi cab that actually stopped this time, and gave them directions to a bar that was a block away from his corner.

The taxi pulled away from the curb and Light relaxed his body against the seat letting the heat lure him into a light doze.

End of chapter 3

So my beta is on vacation, and I decided to post this up before she got the chance to look at it. Hope she will forgive me. I will try to make the next chapter longer to make up for the short chapter. Did you all like this chapter? I know L wasn't in it, but I promise he will be in the next one!

The head being hit on the dashboard is plausible.

I have a question, do you all like the flashback of Light starting out as a hooker or not? Personally I enjoy writing those scenes, but I want to make sure you like them as well.

I made Ryuuk a drug dealer, lol. Is it just me or can anyone else see him as a drug dealer? Also I have a poll up, please go vote if you read TCWM.

Please review and tell me what you think^^. Criticizing is welcomed.
