Day 6

Coolnerdgirl: I have an awesome triple shoutout to MadLikeWinter! They favorited my story, reviewed my story, and correctly guessed who L's kidnapper was! It was Beyond Birthday, from the novel Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. He's a really fun character to write, because insanity is so unstable and, well, crazy! I also have another shoutout to Kusama-Shiori for following my story. Yay!

Anyways, just to clarify what was going on in the last section of Day 5: That was the two aspects of Light: Kira and Light Yagami. They were arguing about what would happen now that Kira had returned to the surface. The bolded and italicized one was Light Yagami, and the italicized one was Kira.

So, what do you guys think so far? Don't forget to review, and feel free to ask any questions! This chapter is gonna be a little violent, and BB will return! Dun dun dunnnnnn…..

Oh, also: Please don't judge for the stupid nicknames that I make Beyond call L and Light, they really are idiotic. But that's why a crazy person came up with them! (in this case, I'm the crazy person)

Light Yagami couldn't sleep.

It wasn't just the normal non-sleep that L had put upon him; even when L was quiet and dreaming the brunet's eyes stayed open. What was happening to him? He was Kira, and he was Light, and he was Soichiro Yagami's son, but he was gay, and the world kept on spinning like the world's biggest killer wasn't awake.

But who was Light Yagami? Because it was Light Yagami who had picked up the notebook, but it wasn't Light Yagami who thought himself a god. Because it was Light Yagami who forgot about the notebook, but it was also Light Yagami who touched the book again. Light Yagami had regained his memories, but there was another personality in his body. Kira.

The word was foul, and the real form of the brunet's personality hated the alter ego. Kira had red hair, red eyes, and no tolerance to criminals. Light Yagami had brown hair, brown eyes, and thought that all criminals deserved a fair trial. And they were opposites, but also so very similar. Chocolate hair mixed with blood eyes, sweet and metallic, just like….

The student sat up, breathing quickly. According to L, he wasn't the only one whose scent was sweet and metallic. Did he smell chocolate or strawberries? And was he imagining that smell of blood, or was it staining his hands? No one could know what was going on. And strawberries always had the least juice, hid all of their marks, but were as red as red could be.

Scanning the room, he looked for anyone, anything, out of place. The door was closed, the walls weren't covered in any foreign substances, the floors were their normal carpeted self, and Ryuzaki was sleeping peacefully next to him. But wait….Were those footprints in the carpet? And was the door slightly open? And looking over at the noirette next to him, a dark thought crossed his mind. Was L really sleeping?

No, he was being paranoid. Light needed to calm down, and he would have to start by taking nice, deep breaths. In, and out. In, and out. In, and out….Soon he was relaxed, and looking over at the still form of the pale detective, his tranquility returned. He matched his breathing to L's, and started to drift off. Maybe when I wake, Light thought, I can speak with Ryuzaki about this. I could possibly destroy the notebooks, and then we could be happy together….

Beyond Birthday thought that it was easy to break in. Easy to find the sleeping bodies. Even easier, considering that they were already chained together. And the easiest part of all was taking them. Both were heavy sleepers. Both were easily moved. And both were easily taken out. Too easy, maybe, but the blood-stained version of L never paused for a minute.

He was clinically insane, after all, and why would a petty thing like the police stop him? Technically, he was dead. They couldn't arrest a nameless criminal, and even if they could, it would be his first offence in this second life. Laughing to himself, and the rest of the world that could hear, he drove in his dark car, with a dark purpose, to a dark place, into a dark future.

Taking the sleeping detectives, he undid their temporary bonds. Softly singing Happy Birthday to himself, he sat them against one wall of his base; an abandoned warehouse with no people in the surrounding area. Leaving the chain that connected the two bodies and hearts, he got to work. He took off both of their pants, leaving them in their boxers.

Grabbing a box that he used for all of his imprisonments, he took out his materials. He hoisted the brunet up, and carry-dragged him to one of the support poles of the warehouse. Beyond handcuffed Light's hands behind his back and behind the pole, did the same to his feet, and wrapped a chain around his waist.

Then he did the same to L, and prepared for when they would wake up. Somehow grabbing a jar of strawberry jam out of nowhere, he began to scoop up great amounts of the gooey thing with his bare hand. He stained his face, but the jam wasn't any different from the blood. Especially because they were both delicious to B, and they always were somewhere near him.

Light groggily opened his eyes. Where was he? It was cold. And the scent that he could consider his own was on the air, sugar and gore floating and twisting. Suddenly, it all fit together. It was Beyond! He started struggling against the bonds, and his head snapped up. He called out to L: "Ryuzaki! It's Beyond! Wake up!" The raven-haired detective opened his eyes slowly, and realized where he was.

"Light-kun, we are in a very dangerous situation. I need too…." His words were cut short by a punch from his evil double. Smiling widely, the red eyed man eyed L.

"Oh, you're even prettier than before!" He scooped up the ivory-skinned man's chin, and looked down on him. "You should know that you cannot get out of this, and neither will your boyfriend. You should know by now that you are mine."

"Beyond, stop hurting Ryuzaki!" The captor and the imprisoner both looked at Light, and he glared at the latter. "You can hurt me instead, just don't hurt him again. Please, hurt me instead." The brunet wasn't resisting the chains anymore, and his head hung limply. "He doesn't deserve to be hurt that way."

Inside of Light, Kira was angry. Light Yagami, how did you gain control? Never mind that, we need you to be convincing so that I can get out of this safely. And become God!

Oh, Kira. You never learn. I am in control because the real Light needs me to be. It is the only way that the one person he loves can make it out alive. And love does not make sense. It is overpowering, and cannot be stopped. You of all people should know this; it was on love for the world and humankind that you started your war on criminals.

"Oh, I see why you're his boyfriend! He's so loving. Light, does he really deserve this? He did kill me, you know." Beyond threw his head back and laughed at the detectives.

"I don't care, I don't care, I DON'T CARE! I love him." He spat at Beyond. "There, it's out. I love Ryuzaki, and even if no one accepts that, I do. I love L. I love Ryuzaki. I love Ryuga, Coil, Denueve, and any of his other aliases."

Tears were in Light's eyes as he said this, and he soon began to cry. L noticed that it was the first time that the chocolate-haired boy had ever really shown weakness in front of him. The genius with black pools for eyes was truly touched, and barely stopped himself from crying too.

But Beyond was simply delighted at this news. "Oh, you two really are in love? Perfect." He took out his knife, and slashed at Light's right leg. Biting his lip, he stifled a cry. The coffee-eyed student couldn't let B hear him call out in pain. "That won't do at all, Lighty Light!" He swiped again, this time making a deeper cut.

This time, the wounded detective let out a scream that showed his grief, pain, and love all at once. But even as the strawberry killer punched, kicked, and full out tortured Light, he never begged for it to stop. Somehow, he understood that Beyond only wanted to torture one. And if that had to be Light, so be it. L wouldn't get hurt.

Ryuzaki watched in horror as BB mutilated the second detective. This must have been his plan, to torture one physically and the other mentally….So he did care about Light. The mirror-eyed prisoner started full-out sobbing, and his world became screams and tears. Why him? It should have been me, L thought. It should have been me.

Suddenly, the blood-stained criminal stopped. "Is Elly alright? Was seeing his boyfriend hurt too much?" He threw back his head and laughed. "This has just started." Leaving Light hanging down in pain and defeat, he began to swipe at L.

"NO!" Again, all heads turned to Light. "You said….that only I….would get….hurt." Coughing up blood, he lifted his head. "Don't….hurt….Ryuzaki." There was steel resolve in his chocolate eyes, even though his body was damaged. B, being smart, had only really harmed the lower half of his body. The rest could be visible.

"Light-kun." The mentally injured detective was speaking. "Let me get hurt. Light-kun will die, and I cannot allow that." Turning to Beyond, who was laughing hysterically, he said, "Go ahead. Hurt me. I know you get pleasure from it."

The clock struck four, and they all lifted their heads to look at previously mentioned clock. "Well, Elly, tonight's your lucky night. No torture for you! I don't wanna let you two handsome men go, but four is shi, and death is what you two leave in. Buh bye!" Beyond undid their chains, and the two 'handsome men' fell to the ground. "Oh, and I'm gonna take these with me, darlings." He grabbed their pants from the floor, and dashed out the door.

Once Beyond was gone, L ran over to Light. The latter weakly smiled up at the former, and made a feeble attempt at a thumbs up. "Hey Ryuzaki. So that's Beyond, huh? Seems jealous of my good looks."

"Not funny, Light-kun." Looking over the injuries caused by B, Ryuzaki was worried. They looked deep, but his double wouldn't kill them yet, right? Surprised by his lack of an answer, he pulled his injured partner up into a sitting position. "Can Light-kun walk?"

Trying and failing to stand up, the brunet shook his head. "I don't think so, Ryuzaki. But if I could lean on you, I might be able to." The noirette offered his hand, and Light took it. Hoisting himself up, he put almost all of his weight on the world's greatest detective.

"Light-kun cannot walk," L said while picking up the To-Oh student. "I will keep Light-kun from walking." And it was both L and Ryuzaki who said these words, because they were united in their interest in Light.

"Woah! A-alright, Ryuzaki."

And that was how they made their way back to the headquarters, into their room, and fell comfortably into bed. None of the other Task Force members ever went into their room anyway, and L had taken down the security cameras in that room. Even with the threat of BB over their heads at all time, they were content.
