Opening your eyes slowly your vision slightly blurred, you heard someone singing loudly and insanely laughing. The laughter echoed around you, turning your head slowly to where the singing was coming from you saw Beyond Birthday spinning around in circles with his arms stretched out at his side holding a book as he spun.

' ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL! ' Sung Beyond loudly, he let out another eerie laugh, his spinning began to slow down and he came to a halt. ' The world is not as beautiful as people think_.' He glanced down at the book he held in his hand.' The only beauty in this world that I know of is when you see the life slipping away from a person's eyes. ' He turned to face you with a smirk on his lips and his red eyes forced on you. ' It's a shame how many people have belief in one book. What do you believe in _ ?'

You watched him as he began to walk towards.' I... I... b... believe... ' You stutter as you tried to move your legs and hands.

' Yes... ' Said Beyond, as he placed the book by your feet and ran his finger tips along the Alter Table as he walked around it. ' I'm listening...' He slowlt climbed on top of you. ' Go on _, tell me.'

You looked up at him as his red eye looked deeply into your eyes. ' I... I believe in justice.' You weakly said and turning away from his gaze.

' Justice ? ' Beyond smirked at your answer as he grabbed your chin with his hand and turned your face back to his gaze. ' Who wants to believe in Justice ? We all deserve to be punished, even if they are good people.' He licked his top lip inches away from your lips. ' Even you my dear.'

You struggled under him as gently kissed your lips. ' Get of me...' You muffled as he began to kiss you more roughly. You tried to push your bound hands up against his chest, but he was to strong. You began struggled more, it only made him chuckle at you and he bit your bottom lip hard. You tasted blood in your mouth, you tried to yell out, but then you heard a loud creaking noise coming from the other end of the church.

Beyond stopped and looked up and smirked. ' Someone is here to see us...' He sang it as he said it. ' Shame.' He said as he looked down at you licking your blood from his lips. He jumped off you and began to walk down the aisle and stopped. ' On time I see... shame you had to be so punctual L.' He chuckled and wiped blood away from his mouth with his sleeve.

You managed to roll onto your side and looked down the aisle . ' L...' You said weakly and blood ran from you lips down the side of your cheek.

L walked slowly down the aisle towards Beyond with his hands in his pocket, his back slightly bent and his dark eyes fixed on Beyond. ' I always keep my word.' He stopped quite close to Beyond. ' Now will you keep yours and let _ go.' He put his thumb to his lip and glanced over at you.

' Fine.' Said Beyond, he turned walking back to the alter. ' You know L... ' He began to say as he rolled you over onto your stomach, then grabbed you around your waist and lifted you up from the alter. ' I asked you to come alone...' He pulled you close and held a knife against your throat that he had hidden up his hoody sleeve. ' And yet you bring your Wammy boys!' He said angrily as he glanced up to the balcony above the church entrance door.

L's eyes grew wide as he watched the situation unfold. ' They are here to collect _. I know the terms have been broken, but I do not trust you Beyond Birthday.' He glanced over his shoulder up towards the balcony. ' Matt... Mello.' He said sternly and turned back to Beyond.

You looked up towards the balcony, Matt and Mello appeared from behind some red tatty drapes that hung down from a arch above the balcony with guns in hand and aiming down at Beyond.

' Damnit!' Said Matt looking down over the balcony banister. ' How did he know we were here ?'

Beyond laughed. ' Well well well if it's not Mihael Keehl and Mail Jeevas... Long time no see.' He lifted you off the ground by the waist and walked down three steps below the alter. ' Come down... join the party.'

' Wha..' Said Mello, he glanced towards Matt. ' I'm more concerned how he knows ours names.'

' This guy gives me the heebie - jeebies.' Said Matt, he began to get up slowly and made his way down some stairs with Mello following behind him.

' Like spiders in the Bath Tub heebie - jeebies ? ' Asked Mello, he aimed his gun at the sight of Beyond as he walked down the aisle towards L.

' No like paedophile at a childrens birthday party heebie - jeebies...' Said Matt, he pulled another gun out of the back of his trousers and aimed it towards Beyond.

' Jez Matt... over the top much.' Said Mello, he stopped to the right off L and Matt to the left.

' Now Beyond let _ go.' Said L and he glanced towards you again. ' Then I am yours, you have my word.'

Beyond smirked at L's words. ' We have a deal.' He forcefully sat you down onto a step, then cut the rope that bound your legs together and spoke quietly to you.' Pity, I would have liked to have spend more than 2 days with you _. It could have been fun. ' He pulled you up by the arm as he stood up. ' Here take her.' He pushed you roughly forward towards L.

You walked slowly over to L, Matt and Mello well taking a glance over your shoulder at Beyond. He stood there smirking at you and then put his knife to his lips.

' _ come on.' Said Matt, he put his arm around your shoulder and turned to face L. ' You sure you know what you are doing L ? ' He said and he slid his gun into the back of his trousers.

' Yes I am 75% sure that I know what I am doing.' Said L as he fixed his gaze on Beyond.

' Only 75% ? ' Said Mello, he kept his gun aimed at Beyond. ' 25% chance that you may fail, I don't like them odds.'

' Go and take _ to safety. ' Said L. ' I will be fine.'

' Right...' Said Mello, he walked side bacwards with his gun aimed at Beyond.' Lets go.'

' _.' Said Matt, he began to lead you away towards the church doors with his arm around your shoulder.

You tried to glance over your shoulder at L as you were being led away. ' What about L ? You are really not leaving him alone with him are you ?'

' Don't worry, he his not alone.' Said Matt quietly to you as we got to the church doors.

' What do you mean ? ' You asked Matt as Mello pushed open the door.

' You'll see.' Said Matt with a smirk, he rushed you through the door and Mello closed them behind him.
