Day 7-Part 3

Coolnerdgirl: Hello! Thanks to SugoiSaian for the suggestions, I'm really considering using the second one. So, how are you guys liking the story so far? After I bring day 7 to a close, should I add on more to this Lawlight fic? I have lots of questions for you guys, so please help me out by answering them! Also, should this end in a really sad way? Probably not, but I'm considering it. I have some real heart-wrenching ideas, including possible main character deaths….

I hate making Light and L suffer, so last chapter involved Sayu. I really wish that in the manga and anime she had more development, but what's done is done. They did say that she liked Hideki Ryuga, so that gave me something to work with, but she really is underdeveloped.

Back to my fic, follow me! This chapter is gonna be pretty violent, so I'm giving you a heads up in advance. Also, kudos to anyone who knows who Beyond's friend is! She's going to be mentioned in this chapter a lot, so her name will be revealed, but congrats to anyone who figured it out before today!

To be honest, Misa was in jail for more than a couple days, it just wasn't revealed to Light. Just wanted to make that clear, because this chapter would be confusing if you didn't know that. Wouldn't make any sense at all, really, because….(damn I just revealed some of the plot damn damn damn)

She looked at the form of Light Yagami, huddled on the floor. Allowing herself a small, dark, laugh at his misfortune for angering Beyond, she walked into the room where her prisoner was held. His hair was a muddy looking shade of red, and when he lifted his head to look at her, one eye was red and the other was brown.

"M-M-Misa? Is that you?" His voice was shaky, uncertain, as if multiple people were all trying to voice their own opinions.

"Yes, I am Misa." She had lost all of her feelings for Light in jail, which had also shaped her into a more sadistic and dark version of herself. "How do you like it here?"

"What are you doing, Misa? And why are you working with Beyond?"

Sheesh, even I didn't think that she'd come here. What about you, Light?

Well, this is a new development. Why did Beyond take her with him?

Misa began to laugh. Softly, but cruelly. It was clear that there was something evil, something dark, behind her quiet laugh. The laugh showed her loss of sanity, or her loss of seeing the Light in everything. ((sorry, I had to put that in))

"Oh, Light. You never learn, do you? Or maybe you don't have your memories back yet?"

I'll handle this one, she needs my recollections and we might even get out of this alive.

As little as I like giving you control, the physical Light needs you to survive.

"Of course I have my memories, Misa. It's not that hard to regain them. And I did try to stop L from getting you, but if I tried to hard he would suspect me as working with you. I am Kira, and you are my eyes."

Misa took a step back. "Light…" The word seemed heartfelt, and for a second both Light and Kira believed that they could get out of it. It didn't seem that way after she kicked him squarely in the nose. Blood gushed out, and with nothing to stop the flow the detective became covered with it.

"I'm not a fool. I know that you like L, it's obvious to me. It's easy to tell when someone is in love, deeply in love, as I know how it feels." She glared down at Light, and he was reminded of how he manipulated her. "Very deep."

The brunet was so focused on trying to stay alive that he hadn't noticed how Misa had changed. Her once long blonde hair had been cut short, nearly as short as his. She had a long scar running across her face, from above her left eye to her right cheek. The once bubbly gothic Lolita dresser had changed her wardrobe to a simpler style, but she wore only black. Her lipstick also was black, further accentuating her piercing blue eyes.

Behind her, Beyond walked into the room. "Hi Lighty! How's Missy Misa treating you? Ooh, is that blood? Aw, I wanted the first hit."

"He was being annoying. I shut him up." Her cold demeanor further proved her anger at Light, and how dark she had become. "You can have the next hit, Beyond."

"Yay! Happy birthday to me," he said as he knelt down next to Light. "I don't need to say that this is going to hurt, right?" Making a fist with his hand, he drove it up under the student's chin. That threw his head back, making the cold metal of the cuff around his throat dig into his neck.

Ok, this isn't working.

You can say that again. What happened to Misa?

She changed in prison, I guess...Well this is interestingly dangerous for us.

Wait! L might be coming for me.

I think you mean us, Light.

No, he's coming for me, Kira. He fell in love with Yagami Light, not Kira.

"Beyond, when do you believe L will arrive? It is clear that he is in love with Light, of course, but what time do you think he will join the party?"

"Soon, Miss Misa! Don't worry, we'll have a nice welcome for him when he does come."

Coughing, the Kira half of Light took control and observed the situation. How am I getting out of this? I still need to become God. My power is still mine, just temporarily out of reach. I'm getting nowhere... No, I need to clear my mind. Focus on the problem at hand.

"Misa, Beyond. Why did you kidnap me?" Kira was trying to stall, attempting to prevent more harm to the physical body. It didn't work.

"Nice try, Yagami. Stalling won't work." Misa shoved him backwards, which really was not what Light wanted. His egg-like position was close to L's sitting position, so flying backwards made him lose his balance. The detective was forced onto his back, unable to move anywhere. "I'm not the stupid airhead Misa who was in love with you."

This isn't working, Kira. Let me take control.

•••••

L was deep in thought, in a sleep-like state not dissimilar to paralysis. He hadn't moved for 15 minutes, all because he was meditating on how he would rescue Light. If he let any of the Task Force or Watari in on his evil doppleganger, they would be in even more danger than before. Also, the cameras would capture his every move; not something you want when you need to sneak out of a highly fortified building.

There were no cameras in his room, or bugs for that matter….Definitely something I overlooked. The noirette almost regretted what he hadn't built in, but he reassured himself. I need to focus on the now. The past is in the past, and is unchangeable. Only the future is in my control. Sticking his thumb in his mouth, he narrowed his eyes. How can I rescue Light-kun?

A gentle knock on his door snapped him out of his revery. He had forgotten that Watari entered his room at 5:27 sharp for his breakfast of cake, tea, and sugar cubes. Later on in the day, the elderly caretaker would bring L his supplements. With an all sugar diet, the world's three greatest detectives needed other nutrients to stay alive. He was only human, after all.

"Now is not a good time, Watari."

"Are you currently in danger?"

Yes, L silently answered to himself. "Setting aside the danger that comes with the title of L, no, I am not in any immediate danger." Lies, lies, all of those were lies…

"Is Yagami Light currently in danger?"

Taken aback by this question, L quickly regained his composure. But not fast enough to escape Watari's notice. "L, is Yagami Light currently attached to the handcuffs on both of your personas?"

"No, he is not."

"Is he in the room with you?"

"..."

Watari took his silence as a yes, correctly guessing the situation. "I see. I assume you do not desire my assistance in this incident?"

"Correct. Thank you, Watari."

"I will leave the tray outside." The mirror-eyed detective heard the distinctive sound of dress shoes against hardwood slowly fading out of earshot, and sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought. Even with Watari not disclosing information to the Task Force, they would eventually notice when L and Light didn't show up for work.

There was a window on the east wall, covered by thick shades. After walking over, Ryuzaki pulled down on the chain that controlled the blinds. Under the fabric, a heavy metal grate blocked the only unguarded exit. Am I really about to do this? There is a 90%...No, 95% chance of failure. But how else will I get to Light-kun?

L, forgetting that Watari watched the security feeds, that the security cameras and bugs were disabled by Beyond, that the Task Force would get out of his way if he ordered them to, and that there most likely were many other exits, opened the window. Looking down, he remembered that he was on the 44th floor. How morbid...
