A/N. Hello again! I'm finally getting off my ass and finishing this story. Go me! I also apologize for the lack of lemony wonders in the last chapter but, as we torture characters we torture readers. -Waves at the incoming mob- Not to worry though. It IS coming. No pun intended.

Today we are bringing in a bit more BBxLillith action to spice up the story. Unless no-one has noticed, I have not planned this story AT ALL. Just trying to go with the flow, which is becoming difficult as the beavers upstream build their dam.

While I collect some explosives read on...

Chapter Nine

Bloody Kisses

B laughed at how easy it was to hack into L's security system. He made a mental note to gloat about it later.

Quickly searching through all the camera footage and finally found what he was looking for.

Lillith.

B howled in frustration, drawing several annoyed looks from t6he dead men around him, as he realized that the blasted detective had chained himself to her.

"What's your problem?" A voice floated up from behind him. Adachi was smiling at him, while piling books into the arms of another unfortunate man.

B motioned to the screen.

Adachi laughed.

"Looks like your double is going to get some action."

B's eyes flew back to the screen. Lillith was lying on a bed, with L on top of her.

With a growl, B threw the unsuspecting Adachi across the room, straight through the wall.

"That bastard is touching my property."

Adachi pulled himself out of the rubble, brushed himself off and calmly walked back over.

"Then do something about it." He clapped B on the shoulder and received a very dirty look.

"What do you propose I do about it?" He all but hissed.

Adachi removed some of the books form his companions hands, revealing his face.

His hair was sandy blonde, cut to his ears in a mop style, his skin had a slight green colour and his eyes her pitch black.

"What do you say Doug?" Adachi asked.

B watched as Doug's eyes shrunk until they were white with just a pinprick of black.

"You can always gradually win her over using magic."

"What do you mean?" B asked suspiciously. "I can't get near her."

"I'm not talking about in person." He placed the rest of the books on the bench. He concentrated and a white notebook appeared out of thin air. As he flipped through it, B came closer.

"What is in that?"

Doug look up at him.

"Some of the most powerful spells in the Hive."

Adachi chuckled.

"I expected them to be in a big creepy looking book."

"It used to be." Doug looked back down at the book. "But the good guys always knew what to look for, so we put them in this." He searched through a few more pages before saying; "Possession of a long dead love?"

The others looked at him questioningly.

"It's useful if you just want her body, but another person inside."

B shook his head.

"No I want her."

"How about dream invasion?" Doug sighed when all he received was a blank look. "It's like what an Incubus does. Visiting their victims in their dreams."

B narrowed his eyes.

"I don't want to kill her."

"Are you an incubus?"

"No."

"Then it won't kill her," Doug replied with a patronising tone.

There was a flurry of movement and Doug's head was flying across the room, him body melting down to a dark red smudge on the floor.

B walked off while saying;

"When he comes back, tell him to prepare the spell."

"Will do." Adachi called after him. He shook his head. "He is insane."

"Tell me about it." said the smudge.

L smiled fondly at the woman, who had fallen asleep at the desk. The papers and folders her friends had brought her, were spread out into piles.

He leaned over and looked at the folder she had been reading before her head hit the table.

'Boogie Man'

He read it twice just to make sure.

L put his thumbnail in his mouth as he watched her breath. With a sigh he went back to work.

***Dream***

Lillith opened her eyes to a white ceiling and a huge chandelier. The flashes of blue told her that it was made of diamonds. She turned her head and spotted several, beautifully designed, Venetian masks.

Sitting up slowly she noted that she was lying on a four-poster bed, black sheets that felt like silk and heavy curtains in a dark purple colour.

Her head snapped around to look at the door as it began to creak open. She commando rolled off the bed, onto the floor, which was covered in a thick black rug.

Reaching for the holster at the small of her back, Lillith cursed when she realised that not only were her weapons missing, she was not dressed in a flowing white gown.

"Lillith." A cold spine-tingling voice, rippled through the room.

"Where are you?" She asked, her eyes scanning the room.

Something brushed the back of her neck and she whirled around. There was a rush of wind and suddenly she was pressed face against the wall by something cold and hard. And judging from the length poking her back, it was male.

"You smell so good." He breathed, nuzzling her hair.

With a growl of annoyance she pushed off the wall and elbowed him in the side of the head. Grabbing the front of his shirt she threw him to the floor.

"B?" she blinked at the vampire as he coughed himself to a sitting position.

"Hello there, my pretty." B sprang to his feet.

"Been watching The Wizard of Oz have we, Dorothy?" Lillith asked scathingly.

"Hu? What's that and who is Dorothy?"

Lillith glared at B as if waiting for him to cave and admit to watching the movie.

He didn't.

"Never mind." She cracked her neck. "So... what can I help you with today?"

B smiled in a way that would send normal people running.

"I hoped you would join me for some food."

The walls and furniture melted down and formed a long room with a dark table, covered with a blood red cloth and several plates of food.

Lillith looked sceptical at a dish of bread rolls.

"You can't eat though"

"It's a dream Lilly. You can do anything when you dream."

She smiled and started to levitate.

"Whoo! I haven't had dreams since I was human." She fell back down and hunted along the table for chocolate, leaving B to his existential angst.

"I do NOT have existential angst!" B glared at the woman as she spun in a circle, as if dancing with the box of chocolate.

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes"

"Dang. I gotta stop doing that."

They both sat down at opposite ends of the table, B immediately slouching down and Lillith started setting up an army made of chocolates.

B watched quietly as Lillith plotted a way to destroy the castle (AKA the salt shaker).

"Attack!" She yelled suddenly making B's arm slip off the table, which led to him smacking his face on said object. Lillith either ignoring or oblivious, proceeded to swarm the shaker.

"Tuck, tuck, tuck! Monster Truck!" She grabbed a bread roll and flattened the salt shaker as well as half of the chocolates.

"I'm bored now. Can I wake up yet?"

B smiled widely, baring his fangs.

"Ah. It must be time for the entertainment." He stood and offered her his hand.

Ignoring his hand, she jumped to her feet.

"Lead the way."

The room, once again, melted away into an inky blackness. Lillith stood very still while she waited for her eyes to adjust to the lack of light.

There was a soft moan and the gentle rattling of chains. B flicked the switch and the sudden rush of light left Lillith blinking.

The rattling got louder along with muffled yells.

She turned slowly towards the sounds.

The colour drained out of her face and left her feeling cold with shock.

"L," she breathed.

L was chained to the wall, his hair matted, blood was running down his face and neck from the hole where his left ear used to be. The gag he was wearing was tied tightly over fresh knife wounds on the right side of his face.

His arms appeared to be broken and several of his fingers were lying on the ground next to him.

Chunks of his chest had been ripped off him. Lillith could also see a shard of bone sticking out of his left leg.

She choked back a sob and tried to go to him, but she was thrown back onto the opposite wall.

"B! You bastard! You EVIL SICK SON OF A BITCH!" She struggled to get away from the wall. "Let me go, this instant."

B laughed, like a child playing with a new toy.

"Oh no. This may be your dream, but I control it." With a flick of his hand, barbed wire appeared out of the wall and wrapped around Lillith.

"Try not to struggle to much. We wouldn't want to scar that pretty body."

"Burn in hell you megalomaniac." Lillith spat.

He laughed again and stroked down her cheek with his finger.

"But I haven't even gotten to the best part yet."

B walked over to L and grabbed a fistful of his hair and yanked his head back so he could see him. B smiled widely at Lillith then lunged down on to L's throat.

Tearing L's throat out, B let the piece of flesh drop to the floor.

Lillith let out a shriek of rage and started to struggle violently against the barbed wire.

B narrowed his eyes.

"Stop."

Lillith froze, blood flowing down to the floor from her shredded skin.

B walked back over to her and grabbed her chin, bringing her face up closer to his.

"Sweet dreams Lillith." B whispered then he pressed his lips against hers.

Lillith could taste the sweet metallic blood and she started to scream.

***End***

L broke his cup and was covered in boiling tea. Lillith had snapped awake with such a spine chilling scream that all work had halted for an hour while she had hysterics and clung to L like he was the only thing left in the world.

"Sorry everyone. I'm fine. Just a really bad dream."

Ide scoffed.

"That was one hell of a scare."

The next day they moved into the new skyscraper that L had built for the investigation.

END

A/N

I AM SUCH A BAD PERSON! -sobs- how could I do that to poor L? Please also excuse the rather abrupt ending. It was 2am and I couldn't think of any other way to end the chapter.

Thank you SO much to all the reviewers. Love you all!

Until the next chapter!
