Thank you all who faved/followed and Guest 1 and Guest 2 for the reviews. Only two chapters left at this point. So, not to get anyone's hopes up, because at this point it's only an idea of an idea spawned at 3:30am, but Bad Blood may have a sequel coming in the distant future. That being said, even if it never comes, the way Bad Blood ends, is capable of acting as an official ending. Warning: TORTURE

14th September

Light was dozing off in a corner of the room, no longer bothering to work out how long it'd been since he was taken as it wasn't something he could control. Instead he planned, he was now certain he could break the neutralizer Powers hold over him if given incentive, it was the backlash he was worried about. In the early days he'd used his abilities on everything, discovering that he didn't necessarily need a name and face to kill someone without touching them, but the fallout from using his ability in such a way left him crippled with migraines and nose bleeds for weeks. 'But if it's your only option at the time.' The sound of footsteps accompanied by a loud irritating squeaking noise echoed throughout the room and Light opened his eyes to a slit as he watched a table be wheeled into the room by Thierry followed by Beyond and Wedy.

"Wakey, wakey, pet. It's time to play." Beyond cackled even as Light was roughly pulled to his feet and forced into a chair, ropes tied bitingly into his flesh. "I do hope you're watching this L, I plan to make your pet scream today."

Light caught sight of the implements on the table and tensed as fear began to raise its head. He swallowed harshly and looked away from the objects, trying to get his breathing under control in an attempt to remain calm. He was certain that his red eyes had made an appearance multiple times during his captivity; as they currently were now, he was beginning to wonder if they would remain red after everything was said and done. His hand was yanked forward and Light closed his eyes and looked away from what was about to happen, nausea threatening to overcome him as he waited in tense apprehension.

"L's called through, should I put him on speaker?" Wedy asked, her voice casual.

"Yes, I want to hear him beg me to spare his pet." Beyond's breath fanned over Light's face and the sound of a phone being sat down near him had him open his eyes as crimson clashed with crimson. "Such beautiful eyes you have, I can't wait until I cut them out." Beyond dipped his fingers into a jar of raspberry jam Light had missed, gobbling down the jelly-like clusters with a grin before setting it aside and replacing it with a pair of needle nose pliers. "I really hope you have a front row seat to this L." Beyond directed to both the camera and silent phone.

He gripped Light's left hand, cruelly crushing the fractured bones together causing Light to grit his teeth in an effort to remain silent. The pliers clamped down on the tip of his index finger, resting there long enough for Light to feel a mixture of revulsion at what was about to happen and impatience for it to happen already. His nail was torn with a snap, skin tearing along with it leaving his finger a bloody mess that evoked a shriek of pain before Light clamped his mouth shut. 'God's it hurts, god.' Pain laced from his finger in sickening waves even as Beyond prepared to pull a second nail. Agony burned through his hand as a second nail was torn away, blood dribbled out of the corners of his mouth from where he'd bitten his tongue in an effort to remain silent, heavy pitched breathing whistled loudly through his nose as he kept his mouth clamped shut. With every nail that was torn from his left hand Light struggled to remain silent, the inside of his mouth a torn bloody mess that matched his mutilated hand, a high pitched ringing in his ears as he could hear his blood pumping through his veins as his heart worked over-time.

"Strong silent type huh? I don't think that'll remain for long." Beyond dropped the bloody pliers to the floor with a clutter where they came to rest amidst his bloody nails and grabbed a container filled with liquid. "Gotta keep that hand clean of infection."

Light couldn't help but tense at that, dread washing over him as Beyond roughly grabbed his hand and forced it into the salt water, the agony of his open wounds coming in contact with the salt finally causing him to break and scream in pain as pain shot through his nerves. He could faintly hear the sound of L's voice over the sounds of his sobs, his voice having given away due to his screams. He barely felt as his hand was released and the binds cut away, slumping in the chair and curling in on himself as he tried to regain his composure.

L could only watch in horror as Beyond walked away from Light's sobbing form towards the camera, picking up the phone as he passed. "Did you enjoy that Lawli? Such pretty screams he made, I'm sure your little pet would be more obedient then he was to begin with." Beyond look to Light, sparing a glance for the camera as he returned to L's distressed lover. "How about a kiss pet? I wanna see what has Lawli so whipped." Beyond reached out to trace over the scabbed over cuts on Light face.

"Fuck you." Light's voice cracked making it hard to hear, L gripped the phone tighter as he and the task force watched the events play out.

"What was that pet?" Beyond's voice had gone cold, his grip turning harsh.

Light looked up at his attacker, his eyes gleaming crimson and blood drying on the corners of his mouth. "I said 'fuck you'." Light repeated before spitting bloody phlegm into Beyond's face promoting Beyond to punch Light in the jaw sending him sprawling to the ground.

"I'm done, if you don't turn up tomorrow night, 7pm at the Yellow Box warehouse, I'll kill your pet on live TV. Turn up L, he has until then." Beyond dropped the call, cutting off Light's orders to L not to go through with the plan. With one final cruel blow, Beyond stepped down and crushed Light's mangled hand under the heel of his shoe eliciting a shriek of pain as the young man curled in upon himself as his tormentors left him alone.

"Mogi?" L directed his question to the man, eyes never leaving Light even as his lover kept up a string of profanity, hands curled into fists that trembled due to his rage at the abuse of his lover. Chief Yagami was cursing Beyond, tears glistening in his eyes as the pair found it difficult to tear their eyes away from the screen.

"I have the location of the Yellow Box, should we attack it now?" Mogi asked, the rest of the team waiting for an answer.

'If we attack now and something goes wrong, Light will be the one to pay the price.' Chief Yagami appeared to be following the same thought pattern, lines of worry prominent on his face as his eyes remained unwavering on his son. "I'll go to the meeting tomorrow. You'll all come as back-up." He ignored the look on Watari's face, choosing to listen to Light's threats instead and wishing he could hold his lover.

"I swear to God L, if you turn up to die tomorrow I'll drag you out of hell just so I can kill you all over again. Don't you dare do something stupid." Light's voice was thin and reedy, filled with pain even as his body trembled with aftershocks from the torture, his unharmed hand clutching the collar tightly.

"I'm coming for you Light." L promised, his voice but an emotion filled whisper.
