Slowly a female with long dark hair, and mysterious deadly eyes, stalked as a lion to its prey around L's spy. The spy was bound electric chair style with her head hung trembling. The sweet yet venomous voice escaped the wicked figure's throat, "Tell me, who is L? What purpose do you have for working for him? After all, he killed your lover, and my brother."

A hiss escaped the spy's lips as she turned a dark gaze of sheer hatred toward the female, "its simple… your brother had tried to kill me. In fact he would have succeeded if he had not saved me unknowingly. Is that why you wish to kill L, to avenge your brother?"

A powerful stinging bite stung across the spy's cheek bringing a gasp of pain from her lips as the female lashed out. "You more than anyone else should realize for the grand design to be realized sacrifices must be made!

Do you wish to know how I had gotten this way? I was once sweet. It once made me sick the thought of death. A cut, scrape, blood from the simple drawing from a needle, I had detested the sight of blood in general. Then something happened, I was once kidnapped and tortured.

Where is Light Yagami, he had yelled into my ears. Where does he keep his notebook of death, he insisted. Back and forth my kidnapper yelled at me, and every time I gave the same reply… I don't know anything. I hadn't known that he was the angel of death. I at first was appalled at the thought that Light, Raito of all people would be Kira. I once looked up to him… but for that time I hated the thought of him.

His methods changed when he seen I wasn't giving any information." The female slowly lifted up a scalpel from a nearby table also baring many instruments of torture. She slowly pressed the blade against the spy's inner thigh slowly cutting upward sending a scream echoing through the small room. She smirked pulling the blade away watching as blood began seeping from the wound and trailed down my bare legs, "He began cutting, torturing, and bringing me to level's of pain I had never experienced before. However, my kidnapper was intelligent enough to never leave a wound that would be seen by the general public. He asked me, why I not just tell him, to end the torment. Do you want to know what I told him?"

The spy shook her head while beginning to sob, but ignoring her victim continued telling her tale, "I kept telling him I didn't know, I didn't know anything of Light's actions. He, of course, did not believe me." She slashed the back of her hand out slamming it against the spy's breast sending a death scream as waves of pain came through the victims' body. "I began thinking to myself that he deserved the worst of punishments, pain worse than death. People such as him should not be allowed to exist. I had seen the need for a savior. Kira was needed to eliminate these people to make the word a better place. Eventually I was saved by my brother… perhaps a little nuts, screwy, scarred, damaged, unstable, whatever words you have for those whose perspective of the word shifts in such a manner away from the norm, but I was in one piece. At least I admit it, I am insane, demented, obsessed. At the time though, I could not talk for a long while. I was simply lost in my own thoughts brooding over everything that happened. I began looking around and found I was not alone; the world was shifting as well. Everyone was shouting the praises for Kira… they praised my brother as their god. I began living my own life, and occasionally watched Kira's Kingdom, Takada's program, and the various shows that would air debating over my brother's actions, or praising him. I even kept an eye on the news to see my brother's progress.

One day I seen the new's displaying something that brought the news of Light's victory, an announcement from L… Kira that L was dead, and so were all his challengers. The age of Kira had begun. I was happy… those who deserved to die was."

She took a small bottle of rubbing alcohol from her purse and then walked over to the table drenching a crowbar with the fluid. "News came over every channel, a killer was running free after escaping prison, and it seemed that Kira was unable to kill him. The media and police was unable to find his name, all they had known was one thing, he was once locked within the California State Maximum Security Prison, and on his way out he slaughtered every inmate and warden. My brother soon vanished from Japan, but I had known his destination, California to bring an end to this killer. Sadly, he was found dead, shot in both legs, and died from a heart attack. Kira was no more. However, the world did not know Light Yagami as Kira, and since crime is so rare the difference was not noticed. The killer's path ran cold after this, the media speculated that Light Yagami was the murderer, judged by Kira. I was among the last to know the truth, including the killer himself."

A flicker came in her eyes as she light a match dropping it onto the crowbar instantly bursting into flames. Sayu Yagami turned from the burning object staring down at her prisoner with a snicker, "Now, L is obviously very much alive, and I had been able to establish the murderer of Light is L. L is also one who vanished from Wammy's House long ago, the boogie man whom L was afraid of becoming and haunts the dreams of every child within this house. B, Backup, the one who had been driven insane by the suicide of A. This is the same one who had nearly surpassed L long ago, and was arrested. However, in the end, he defeated the one who surpassed and defeated L and his successors, by brother, Light Yagami. However, this information is kept by me from the children of this house. Imagine the calamity that would be brought about if the truth was known, the only one they fear more than Kira was now L.

Now, here we are, you as a spy from Backup, and I, who once despised Kira with every ounce of his being, now fights to kill B. And you, stand in my way. If you can provide a description of B or even reveal to me his name, it can all be over. No one else will die, we can all continue our lives, and Kira will be reborn. Until the day B is dead, more and more innocent people will die, and all of Japan will live in fear wondering, from where the next attack shall come. Eventually if this keeps up they would eventually go insane as I… and well… wont that be fun?"

Sayu smirked again as she dawned thick gloves picking up the crowbar, "Now… will you talk?"

Misa screamed as tears came down her cheeks, "Please… no more… believe it or not B looks exactly like the original L had!"

Sayu touched Misa's cheek with her lips as she chuckled, "Thank you dear… now something to remember me by until you die…" She then brought the crowbar toward Misa while wickedly laughing, "I always did think you was a slut that couldn't be trusted."

---------------------------------Beyond Birthday----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Beyond opened his eyes once again he was greeted by the scent of death and found he was lying within a pile of bodies, under which a puddle of blood formed. He pushed upward sending a body rolling from his back and crawled out. He quickly took in his surroundings, everything was grim. Citizens were curled up in circles crying. Parent's held their children in an attempt to comfort them. Overall, they had all been slowly losing their sanity with fear, and all the dead were simply thrown in a stack within the subway system.

His eyes silently skimmed over the crowd as he now began taking note of their life spans. Many were to die today… most in fact however… roughly sixty seven percent of everyone here would live. As for my own life, it could go either way… but I can still do this… chances are I will more than likely not be among the dead so…

I began walking among the crowd giving whispers among the masses as I began to enact my plan to escape from this trap. As soon as I was done I slowly crept back into a dark corner watching and waiting for it all to unfold.

Within moments the citizens began gathering together shouting toward the guards shouting, "You can't keep us here to kill us! We know there was no virus!"

The guards aimed their weapons shouting, "Get back, everyone calm down, we do not plan to kill anyone. As soon as the virus is con…."

The mob began rushing forward toward the squad members as they began opening fire spraying blood from the citizens drenching others behind those who had fallen. After several had fallen, eventually the crowd overwhelmed the officers and began attacking viciously throwing their helmets, slamming their weapons away. As the soldiers fell, the citizen's began pouring from the subway. The men were left trampled to death.

I began walking toward the exit while slipping my hands into my pockets and slouched slightly. As I stepped out a female with flowing black hair and a deranged look in her eyes stopped me with a single whisper, "B…"

My eyes shifted to hers as I read her name Sayu Yagami… she was to die in over forty years. This wasn't someone I could just kill unlike the others, and she is Light's sister… this could be bad. "You are…?"

She slowly smirked giving a wicked chuckle while speaking, "Backup… the feared figure at Wammy's House, but a human like the rest of us, yet killed a god. But, in the end you bleed and die just like the rest of us don't you?"

Sayu knows too much… but I can't kill her… I must plan…

"We found your little spy B… I must say, she was very helpful, and here within a day she should be dead. It's not that it matters. By then you will be nothing but a nightmare for small children, and a dream to me."

Misa was captured… and will die, unfortunate, I must think… must think… "B… I must thank you for getting all the witnesses out of the way. It makes it all the easier to put an end to you. The media will know nothing of your murder, nor think anything. It will all be recorded as a manic going on a rampage. B, my brother had taken the credit for your crimes committed after your credit when he died, and you shall be my scapegoat. " Sayu reached into her purse pulling out a small rod, which she clicked a button on the side flipping up a razor sharp curved blade.

She slashed out as I flipped backward and rapidity was forced to duck and sidestep leaving no chance to reach for my own weapon. Capture, escape, or knockout, if I can't accomplish any of these I will die…

I leapt forward as I spoke, "What do you know of death? Every murder I had seen that you would take credit for, if you are the one behind all these Wammy kids, never once had I seen you involved. Have you ever taken a life?"

Sayu wickedly laughed, "Have I ever taken a life? My boy… my own brother was the greatest of murderers. I was tormented by the most twisted of minds, by one who had told me tales of you as he had done his deeds. The shedding of blood brings me thrill. Watching as the laugh snuff of breath leaves the victim's body. Have you ever watched as their eyes go solidly black? The way a body becomes limp, as if it lacks bones in its body, yet within all is still intact. You and I are alike B."

I smiled while still dodging her oncoming attacks, "It really sickens me that you compare us two. Your brother was a coward, and you lost your sanity from what… a few bad words? Is it that you had taken a beating? Could it be that you witnessed a rape or murder of someone you loved? What about every human on the planet? What would you do if you known exactly when everyone around you would die? What would you do if you had been raised with a friend seeing these numbers… not knowing what they where… they count down. What would happen if the moment it hit zero you find that they committed suicide? Imagine walking around seeing so many people that you known would die that very day, hour, in a few minutes, and knowing even if you wanted to, you couldn't do a thing. We are all slaves to death. All of our fates, including yours are decided."

Her insane laughter was cut short as she snapped, "So what are you saying? You know when I'll die! I know your story, what are you telling me! Are you saying you became a killer because of what you had seen with A!"

At that moment I delivered a powerful attack taught by having experienced it from Naomi herself, ducking down and sending a kick into her jaw sending the female flying back. I quickly rushed toward the subway exit and blended into the crowds.

My spy will be dead in roughly twenty four hours, and with her all the information she had gained will be gone. She also knows what I looked like, and who I am. That was too close… even when I found my escape, I nearly was done for. Sayu has too long of a lifespan for me to kill, so any direct confrontation to the death would be suicide…. I must plan my next move carefully I can't make the same mistake I had made with Naomi…
