Thank you everyone who faved/followed and Haku Elric for the review.
2nd October
"So Light's still asleep right? I mean, you haven't let him wake up, have you?" Matsuda nervously asked, eyes flicking down the hallway towards the closed bedroom door.
"Watari is with him at all times. Light won't awake until we allow it." L confirmed from his position on a fabric couch. The team had made its base in Light's home, the young man was kept in a drug induced sleep in his bedroom whilst the hero team worked to find where Ryuga's body could be found. "We know it's in the country, and it's not in a hospital. That still leaves, homes, hotels and friends places." L picked at his strawberry cheesecake with agitation. "But if I were him, I wouldn't leave my body somewhere easily stumbled upon. So hotels and friends places are scratched out, his own residences are still an option." He mused, spearing a strawberry with his fork before letting it fall and hit the plate with a small splat. 'I'm going to see Light.' He got to his feet and ignored the hero team who were working on trying to find Ryuga.

Soichiro watched as L silently left the room and headed down the hall to the closed door behind which he's son slept a forced sleep. 'We have to work this out. Ryuga can't have that many places, can he?' He had asked Aizawa to search for places registered under Ryuga's name, whilst Mogi checked for residents under his managers, Soichiro was coming through magazines in an attempt to discover if Ryuga's residential area had been mentioned in interviews or not.
"Hey, check this out." Aizawa said, catching Mogi and Soichiro's attention. "It's not a place of residence, but look at this photo from at least 100 years ago."
Soichiro looked at the photo Aizawa had found and felt his eyes widen in surprise. Ryuga stood in olden time clothing looking exactly as he did in the current year. 'I knew that he could be old, but not this old.' The front door burst open and Matsuda stumbled in with a burst of energy.
"I found him!" Matsuda panted, a crumpled paper in his hand even as he bent over and rested his hands upon his knees whilst panting heavily. "I found Ryuga's address." He straightened and walked over to where Soichiro, Aizawa and Mogi sat in stunned silence.
"Can I ask how?" Aizawa asked testily as he accepted the paper Matsuda handed him, Soichiro caught that way Matsuda flushed red and shuffled around awkwardly.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything highly illegal." Soichiro said as Aizawa handed him the paper which contained the address to a highly priced residential area.
"No, no, I just asked someone at the hospital for a copy due to a concern about the patient." Matsuda mumbled, his words becoming less understandable when he neared the end of his sentence.
'But with what Ryuga is capable of, I think we can let that slide.' Soichiro nodded once and glanced down the hall at the closed door. "Should we bring L?" He didn't think it necessary, and he knew L would want to be around when Light woke up. "We'll do this ourselves," He decided, getting to his feet. "Let's go men, we have a Power to arrest." They'd try to arrest him, it all depended on how Ryuga decided to play it. "Matsuda, stay here and inform Watari to stop the injection of the sedatives, we need Ryuga to be aware of what's going on."

Insane laughter filled the air even as he struggled to keep his head above the water. He's hands were bloody and his fingers stung wildly when the ruined hands met the salt water. Screams were rung from his throat even as muffled words tried to reach him through the water in his ears. The laughter continued to grow, his vision tilting and spiraling in ways not natural to him. Sound was stolen from him, bloody thread feeding through torn holes in his lips to keep his mouth shut, blood bleeding from the fresh wounds and small amounts trickled down his throat giving him the taste of copper. All the while the laughter grew and grew until he realized that despite the sown shut mouth, the laughter was coming from him.

Light awoke with a start, his vision blurry and movements sluggish as he tried to gain knowledge of his location. For one wild moment he believed himself to be with Beyond once again before he reminded himself that Beyond was dead and Light was in his own room.
'God, what happened? I feel like my body was hijacked and put through its paces.' He spotted movement at the edge of his bed, a mass of tangled black hair and pale skin. 'L?' What was L doing here? What was he doing here? 'The last thing I remember…I was at the station?' He wasn't too sure, he wasn't even aware as to why he was alone in the bed. 'He doesn't look comfortable.' Light blinked and slowly moved his hands up in front of his face, recognizing them for what they were without his vision a mess of blurs. 'Okay, good to know I'm able to see properly.' He heaved himself up, the grogginess of his body wearing off as he looked at his clock. 11:30pm the display read in red numbers. 'I slept the whole day?' That simply would not do. He reached out and gently shook L from his nap, it wasn't until L was blinking wearily up at him that Light remembered that L needed all the sleep he could get.
"Light-kun?" L asked, shooting up and crawling upon the bed towards Light.
'Why does he seem so cautious? What even happened?' Light went to answer when L leant down and snatched something up from the floor beside the bed.
"Blueberry?" The older man asked, waving a container of store brought poison in Light's face. Without conscious effort Light sent the carton flying from L's hands towards the wall furthest from him and began to vigorously rub his hands upon the sheets.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" He asked, voice pitched unnecessarily high as he stopped his rubbing and scanned his hands. The breath was forced from him in a gust as L launched himself at Light and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"I had to be sure. I'd never kill you Light-kun." L's voice was muffled from his position atop Light's head. "I had to be sure it worked."
Light returned the hug just as fiercely, burring his face into L's sweater and inhaling the familiar scent. 'Never again.' He silently vowed, tightening his hold upon L. 'Never again will I leave him.'
"Of course it's me." He said instead, more than content to spend the night with L in his arms and he in L's. "You have some things you need to explain later." L just hummed and slightly adjusted his hold to place a chaste kiss upon Light's lips.
…
My mindset in regards to the whole Possessor situation is basically like this. Hideki and Light are two separate people, essences, Hideki isn't allergic to blueberries but Light is. When Hideki possessed Light, he essentially merged with him, Light's essence ceased to be for that temporary period of time and Hideki was in charge, as Hideki isn't allergic to blueberries he didn't have an issue with them, much like when he possessed the woman; who was drunk in the first chapter btw yet nobody felt the need to mention that, in the first chapter, it ceased to be an issue because Hideki wasn't drunk when he possessed her. If he went out and did something that would affect not only him but the body he was possessing as well, i.e. getting blackout drunk or drugged up, then that would carry over and affect them both. Kind of like how in Supernatural when a demon/angel possesses someone dying it is no longer an issue because the demon/angel isn't dying themselves, Ruby possessed a coma patient in season 4 and was up and walking around. And if that still doesn't make sense, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised as everyone thinks differently and it has been quite some time since I looked at/read the entire fic much less wrote it, I'm not quite sure what was going through my mind when I made that decision and I'll simply chalk it up to a moment of major forgetfulness/ lack of planning that spanned for many a chapter.
