Chapter 2: Gone
Raito sighed tiredly. It was already nighttime and he still haven't eaten anything. And yet, even though his day was very stressful it was all worth it. He's only working for the sake of his cute twin sibling who always smiles happily to him. Those warm smiles that can easily seep into the hearts of people.
He smiled as he thought of his twin brother. Light was the only one who can make him smile.
As he walks into the front door, he saw his uncle drinking beer as he watch the television. 'Damn bastard' Raito thought as he walks towards their room. He was expecting Raito sitting there, waiting for him to come back, but when he opened the door, his brother was nowhere to be found.
'Where is he?' he thought as he searched for Light.
"If you're looking for that damn brother of yours, he is not here." His uncle smirked.
"Where is he?" Anger was beginning to rise on Raito, but he tried to calm himself.
"I sold him! That kid never does anything around here and it's time to put him to good use!"
Raito couldn't help himself any longer. He punched his uncle square in the face.
"You fucking bastard!" He shouted "Light is never a waste you sick fuck!" After a few more punches, he stopped. His hands were smudged with crimson blood.
As he went to the door he heard a chuckle coming from behind. "Y – You'll never find him! He's probably out of the country entertaining some customers!" His Uncle laughed.
Raito said nothing as he went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle can filled with methane. He poured some on his uncle and on around the house.
"W – What are you doing?!"
Raito only smiled at his Uncle. He clicked his lighter open and threw it at his Uncle who was screaming. As flames started to consume his screaming uncle, he smiled and went out. When he was outside the thoughts of his brother getting rape by some perverted man kept circling on his mind. The world is rotten. He no longer has anyone to live for. Light was the only one who kept him from giving up this God forsaken world and now that Light is gone, he has nothing to live for anymore.
He walks towards the bridge where he and Light used to hang out. He walks towards the edge. His blood soaked face composed a sad smile.
"I'm sorry Light…I couldn't protect you…Goodbye. I love you"
-
"Goodbye. I love you"
Light opened his eyes. He could swear he heard his brother called out to him. He blinks and looked around. ' Where am I?' he asked himself as he tried to remember the past events.
He was waiting for his brother's return when his uncle dragged him out of the house and sold him to dealers. They drugged him so that he couldn't fight them, and now he is somewhere around the world. 'Am I still in Japan?' fear flooded the boy's mind. He would never see his brother again. Tears fell from his eyes. "Nii – chan"
'Why does this have to happen to us? First mom and dad's death and now…maybe…we are unlucky…' he sniffed.
He was stuck into a room that looks pretty much decent and drugs were still on his body, making him a little light- headed and unable to think clearly. He was also can't barely stand or walk.
'What will happen to me?' he thought as he stared at the only entrance of the room.
He could feel the drugs taking affect on him again and he didn't notice that he fell asleep. As he sleeps, he dreamed of him and Raito playing under the bridge. It was a bright day. It was the time when they were only four years old.
"Light!" Raito shouted, "be careful! You'll hurt yourself!"
Light gave out a small playful laugh "you are so overprotective!"
Raito shrugged and snickered "well, I can't help it, my brother is such a weakling!"
Light gave him a pout and splashed water on his brother's face. "Meanie!"
He would give anything to get those carefree days once again.
Suddenly, someone splashed some water on him that made him fully awake and shivering. 'W – what?' He blinked as he tried to see his surroundings. Everything was all blurry for him. Then, he realizes that his hands were tied at his back. Light started to panic 'What's happening?'
"Oh, your awake! Are you ready for the show?" a man with a big voice suddenly spoke.
'Show?' Light whimpered in fear.
His captor smirked. "Oh, look! The little boy is getting scared! I better take you now"
Light could hear footsteps coming towards him. He prayed that his brother would come and save him like always, but it was impossible. God never did answer any of his prayers. So why bother? His thoughts were only on his brother on whom he loved more than anything in the world.

L stared at the stage. It was already 7:50 P.M. The show starts at 8, so there are still ten minutes to go. L bit his thumb in boredom. He wants to eat some cake, but since he was going undercover right now, he has no other choice but to sit straight and wait for the show to begin. The case was very easy for him to solve. It is about some young boys and girls getting sold in an underground auction. 'Human trafficking is a very disgusting crime' L thought to himself as he stared at those rich people waiting for the show to start. Their eyes were filled with lust. 'Disgusting' L thought. After a few minutes of waiting, the show finally started.
"Watari, set all the other under covered man. Tell them to take action at my signal" he whispered. The old man nodded. The police was currently outside, waiting for his signal. They've never seen L in the whole operation. They only saw Watari and L's assistant.
"Gentlemen, I welcome you to the underground auction" The speaker bowed gracefully. "Our products are from all around the world and we hope that you gentlemen will like it" the man smiled that made L felt like punching him.
Suddenly, L could hear someone screaming painfully. It made L cringe in pity. He saw a young boy with auburn hair screaming as they put him on stage. He was wearing gray ragged clothes and his chocolate brown eyes were red from tears. His hands and legs were chained heavily. L couldn't help but think that even though the young boy look like this, he still look beautiful. Like a fallen angel; trap in a cage.
A man appeared, carrying a syringe filled with drugs. He injected it in the boy's thin arms. It made the boy scream in pain. He became quiet as his eyes became daze. He looks so alone, scared, and vulnerable.
"This young man came all the way from Japan…" the speaker said as he lift up the boy's chin. L couldn't help himself any longer. He gave the order to Watari to signal all the police. As the police went in, everybody started to panic, Especially the dealers. L smiled as he stared at the dealers getting arrested by the police.
Then, he went upstairs and grabbed the boy who was shivering in fear. 'He looks so confuse…' L thought as he brushes some of the boy's hair out of his face. The boy stared at him and gave out a small smile. Tears were falling from his beautiful eyes. Then, the boy fell into unconsciousness. L gave out a sigh and carried the boy bridal style. Watari was already waiting at the car. They left the auction house, leaving the work on the police. L couldn't help but stare at the beautiful boy who was currently sleeping on his lap. The chains were still place on the boy's thin arms and legs, it made L frown. He would remove it later.
As he stares at the young boy, he smiled and thought.
"Maybe, I could make a friend'
