Near hadn't moved at all. He stayed there still as he could, listening for any signs of life beyond the door. Nothing. Silence.
That's what was going through his head, to say the least.
He had no plans to escape, he knew they were useless. He had no plans to fight back, he knew that would only cause more pain. He needed to win, without winning..
How the hell do you do that?
Was anyone even looking for Near? Did anyone care anymore about Near? No. They all had something better to do. Mello would be the next L, and Near would be here, being used until he died.
Yay?
Near sighed. This was useless. He'd just have to try his luck with whatever happens and go with the flow. Shouldn't be too hard, no?
Heh. Near made a funny.
He began to nod off, into the pit of black that was titled 'sleep.' Near thought he knew what would come, but he was so wrong.
There were no dreams. There was no screaming. There was nothing. Just like that was in his heart. Nothing.
Sadly, there were many plans waiting ahead for Near, that made being pathetically abused physically, and orally raped look like a heaven on heaven.
There would be blood, that was oblivious. There would be tears. Near would loose the worst game of his life.

The pair pondered what to do with the boy. "He's not really much fun, now is he?"
"No. Sad, really. But now we can't just let him go. I mean, he hasn't even cried.. Baby, what are we going to do?"
"How would I know? Your the women, shouldn't you know?"
"That was sexiest."
"Haha. You said sex."
"Oh? I did, didn't I?"
"..Ahh.. Baby, when you say 'oh' you remind me of sex so much.."
"..Really?"
"Yes.." The man's voice lowered as he began to kiss the women on her neck.
"Not now!" The women backed up.
"But."
"No! We need to think of the boy.."
"Who cares about him? He'll be fine. C'mon babe.."
"No means no. Look it up. Now.. I have an idea. Listen closely."
x-x-x-x-x-x
Two hours later, Near was jerked awake from a kick to the side.
He stopped himself just in time from making a noise of pain.
"Did we say you could sleep?"
Near didn't respond, still groggy from sleep.
"I don't think we did, babe."
Near didn't respond. He didn't care what they did from this point on.
"Answer me, scumbag!" The man yelled.
Near still didn't respond. He was going to get hit anyway, might as well have some rebellion in it.
The man let out a scream of frustration. "You know what, fuck waiting. I'll be back.."
The man left with a slam to the door. The lady crouched down and stroked his cheek.
"You should have just answered him, little one. Now you're going to have to suffer."
Near wasn't going to respond, but he said something before he could stop himself. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you take me, and why me specifically?"
"Well, we've been watching you for a while. We know all about your life, kid. Our master told us all about you, and L. We knew you were first in line, and master was mad. He wanted us to blow the entire place up, but no, we wanted to have some fun, you see. It tends to get boring here by ourselves. We weren't going to tell master about you, but you pissed my baby off, so now we're summoning master to see what he thinks of a brat who tried to steal his place. Someone who thinks their better."
"Whose your master?"
"Master B. He's a lovely man. Sadly, that damned L locked him up, but we got him out. Yes. Silently. Just replaced him and such. No one will know who you are when we're done with you, and since master's coming in, I'm not so sure there will be anything left to attempt to dissect. Any questions before he comes back?"
"..What are you planning on doing to me?"
"Me? Nothing. I'm not going to do anything to you except maybe hit you a few times. I cannot force myself into any sexual intuitions with you, I'm with my brother for that. My brother, he will probably have sex with you repeatedly.. Master, well, I just hope you don't piss him off. He tends to get a bit angry and.. will make you cry."
Near didn't respond. His heart was pounding slightly in his chest, but other than that he looked so nonchalant it was scary.
"And if you don't respond to him, I imagine your life with be even more of a hell, but that's your situation, not mine."
Near looked the lady in the eye. "You won't get anything out of me, if that's what any of you are thinking. I'll die before I give in to you bastards."
The lady laughed. "Stubborn, are we? Well, its your funeral. I'll make sure to be there, though, and I will play a song for you in honor of your stubbornness. Hm. Shame, really. You were really cute. Sadly, you seem to enjoy getting hurt, so all ends fairly, since your bringing this upon yourself."
And with that, the lady left.
Near brought this upon himself? He brought being kidnapped, raped, and whose knows whats going to happen to him upon himself?
See. This is what happens when your smart...
'Master B..' 'Master' 'BB?' Near's eyes widened.
'Took his spot..' 'Damned L locked him up..' '...Brat who tried to steal his place..'
Shit. This wasn't Beyond Birthday, was it? From the BB murder cases and whatnot?
..Near was screwed. Royally. And no pun intended.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Near lost track of time. Near lost track of life, honestly. He didn't know where he was, whom he was with, or what he was wearing. The man had some in earlier and forced him into this long shirt that sadly seemed to resemble a dress type thing. Near was a boy, was he not? Sure, he may be a bit feminine at times, but he was a boy. He had a stick, and balls attached to them. He could walk around without a shirt on.
Why was the man putting Near in a dress type shirt?
..Maybe he was stupid?
Near looked up when the door opened, and in walked the man and women.
"Well, well. Masters here, I expect you to show some respect!" The man yelled.
Near didn't blink. This man wasn't as intimidating anymore. "Move out the way!" And man said from behind him. The two moved to the sides, and a pale man walked in. He was wearing a black long-sleeved tee-shirt, baggy jeans, and no shoes. He had black hair and.. red eyes?
"Nate River." The man stated. "Hm. How unpleasant to meet you. Kind of disappointed in you, though. You were taken that easily. Hmph. Not much to expect from an idiot like Roger." He turned to the other two. "I'm immensely disappointed in you two. Not even 15 hours, and already calling me to come help you? How pathetic. You make me sick. Get the fuck out of my sight before I make you!"
Both man and women left quite hastily, shutting the door behind them.
"How do you know my name?" Near asked, monotone available.
"Because I do. Now. If it were up to me, you wouldn't be here right now, but you are, so I'll have some fun before taking care of the rest of the retards at Wammy's. Hm. Lets have a little chat before I begin. Now. Tell me. Why are you in Wammy's?"
Near didn't answer. B wanted to be stubborn, so can Near.
"..I see. One of the quiet ones. Well, I might as well get comfortable. S!" B yelled.
The lady ran in, "Yes sir?!"
"Strawberry Jam, now."
The lady nodded, left, and returned with a jar of the gooey food. She left and shut the door, once again, leaving Near with the murderer.
B opened the jar, grabbed a handful, and shoves his hand in his mouth and sucked most of it off. He smiled and licked the jam off his fingers, his mouth still full.
"Now. I guess since you won't answer either you're very stupid, or being a stubborn ass. Either way both will piss me off, so. From your scores you appear to be bright. Your only ten, no? Well, from the situation your in now, its obvious no one wants you. I'm probably being thanked right now. Or their looking for you, and failing horribly. Now, from statements from J and S, there was a paperclip on your pajamas. What does it do?"
"Why don't you bend it and find out?"
"Because its a tracking device. I'm not as slow as you give me credit for. Now. Tell me, whats going on in Wammy's?"
Silence.
"I see. I'm going to try another method. Be right back! Don't go no where!"
Yea, like he could.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
L sat back, thinking.
"Sir?" Watari stood next to him.
"Yes?"
"There has been some disturbing news."
"And what might that be?"
"Backup has broken out of jail."
"Are you positive?"
"Quite. I've had the place checked inside out, and no sign of him. He's escaped without any guards noticing. Some were found dead, and others drugged."
"I see. So there's a slight possibility that Backup has Near. If that's the case, we have less time than I thought. Can the pilot speed things up a bit?"
Watari nodded and left L to his thoughts.
"Backup broke out of jail. How? Possibly by tricking a guard? But no.. That can't be right.. He might have had a spy, or a buddy guard that did his biddings for him, but still. It makes no sense for him to take Near... No, wait. ...Dammit! He could take had someone take Near because Near was first to succeed me.. Alas, Backup knows there's no chance he could ever be L, unless that's not his motive." L bit his index finger and sighed. His cellphone rang. ..Hadn't he turned that off?
Looking around, he answered the phone, the sythesizer built in automatically. "Hello?"
"Hey L. Look, this is B. I have your little white bitch. Don't bother having your bitch tracing the phone, its a disposable phone, you won't find it easily. Now listen. Your white bitch is a stubborn one, and I will kill him if you do not give me what I want. Now listen closely. I know your on a plane. The pilot is one of my people. If say anything to your bitch about this phone call, I will have him kill you both, and crack the plane. Understand?"
"Yes. What do you want?"
"Well, I want you, isn't that obvious? But no, its not that simple. When you land, don't bother the hotel your trying to go to. Go directly to Wammy's. I'll have someone waiting, and I will have people with sniper guns ready to shoot you, and your bitch you try anything. I sware to God, I will kill your white bitch as well. Have a nice trip."
Click.
L froze..
Backup was officially a fuck face.
Near was important to life as it was, and Backup had him in his grasp. This was all going downhill for everyone, except Backup, and when that happens, we all know we're screwed.
L. The worlds greatest detective had to think about something. Risking his life, or Near's. L would die either way, knowing Backup, but at least Near may live, and he could succeed him..
If he lived too.
A/N Oringinally, this was going to be a BB x Near fic, but I like the pairing B x L, so after this, I'm going to sorta change plots. I have a question for everyone. Who do you want to die more? Near or L? x)
