Chapter fourteen:
He steps up onto the front doorstep and raises his hand knocking. He lowers his hand to his side and waits to see if there is an answer.
After a few moments of silence Near wonders if anyone is even home then he hears footsteps approaching the door.
Once at the door the footsteps stop.
There is a moment or two of silence before a woman's voice speaks.
"W-who is it?"
Near pauses as he wonders what he should say in return. His real name? His alias? A new alias? Not giving a name at all? He suddenly isn't sure especially since there is the chance that the royal guard might be called or something.
Luckily he doesn't need to dwell on it as the door begins opening inward in a hesitant manner.
When the door is open Near finds himself facing a woman as their eyes meet.
She is taller than him though it's not surprising, ginger hair and kind honey eyes. She is wearing a grey blouse with tan pants and black house slippers. "Oh my."

Light had made sure L got safely back to the room again then went to the throne room where he now stands.
A guard comes in. "Sir. It is ready."
Light turns to the guard with his hands behind his back and he nods. "Good. Then we will begin right away."
"Yes sir." The guard nods and he walks with Light to the two rooms.
The rooms are by the dungeon as they are like interrogation rooms. They were created just in case someone tried something on any royalty only to be caught would have a place where they can get information out of them if needed.
Light turns to the window that is a mirror on the other side and finds BB sitting there in the chair at the metal table with his hands obviously cuffed to the table.
"Do you want us to do this sir?" The guard asks looking away from BB to Light.
BB raises his head from looking at the table to look at the two way mirror as if he's staring at Light.
Light's eyes narrow a little as his eyes meet the other's red ones even if all BB is really seeing is a mirror. "No."
The guard blinks at this answer.
"I wish to do this one." Light says with slight iciness in his voice.
"Y-yes sir." The guard takes a step back in fear from this. "We will stand by. Everything you need will be waiting at the door."
"Good." Light nods then turns heading to go into the room.
BB turns to look when the door is opened with Light walking in having a servant wheel in a cart with some boxes on it.
Once they are inside and the door closes Light stops.
Light turns to the servant. "You are free to leave."
The servant nods then turns opening the door dashing away obviously not wanting to be anywhere near the room.
Light turns to BB then goes over to the table as BB glares at him and the door to the room shuts. "Shall we do this the easy way or the hard way?"
"What the fuck do you want from me?" BB growls.
"Such a foul mouth you have there." Light says as he gives an icy glare at BB. "What do you think I want? Information."
"Hah." BB practically snorts slightly turning his head away. "You must be dreaming."
Light creates a small fire ball above his finger then launches it at BB burning his cheek by his mouth.
BB's teeth clench but he endures the hit.
"So you are choosing the hard way." Light says. "This is your last warning. The easy way or the hard way." His eyes remain on the other.
"Fuck you." BB spits in anger.
"The hard way it is." Light goes over to the cart and opens a box on the top part of the cart.
"Now he's done it." A guard watching from the other side of the two way mirror mutters to the other.
The other guard nods.
Light looks at the tools placed there.
A hook, a large sharp looking knife, a hacksaw, pliers with blades on the one end and a scalpel.
Light checks in the box next to that finding a pot that has a warning written in black on it.
Warning! Poisonous liquid! Do not touch!
Beside the pot are pliers and a hammer.
Light smiles but goes back to the other box as a plan forms within his mind. He picks up the knife. "We'll start easy then if you continue to refuse the worse it will be." He turns and goes over to BB.
"Good luck with that." BB snorts. "What are you going to do? Stab me to death like you did to your father?"
Light snarls and slashes BB's arm by his shoulder. "Do not accuse an innocent of a crime they didn't commit." He growls.
"Pah! Innocent my ass." BB responds. "And I am speaking of a crime one of guilt committed. You are the one that accused innocents of a crime you committed."
"So I see. You've been fed lie after lie." Light says not attacking right away. "That is how they get people to follow them. Interesting."
"Lies? Oh no. They are not lies."
"Until you believed them. Or…." Light smirks softly. "Maybe you were so stupid that you believed them right away."
"Excuse me but I happen to hold a very high IQ thank you very much." BB slightly growls.
"I doubt it if you are believing lies handed to you." Light responds. "Now. To business." He leans a little closer. "Give us any information you have."
"You want information?" BB smirks. "I'll give you something."
Light smiles. "I'm glad you see things our way." He says. "Tell us."
"The murderer?" BB smirks a little more. "I am staring right at him. There's no doubt about it."
Light growls. "You continue with those lies? I would never kill father."
"Pah. You're the one telling lies." BB retorts.
Light slams the knife into BB's shoulders.
BB only grunts as he endures the pain.
"Stop this nonsense and give us the information we want. We want you to tell us information on your little rebellion group." Light hisses.
BB glares at Light. "You fucking murderer."
"Speak of information!" Light commands. "If you do then you can stop this pain you are getting."
"In. Your. Fucking. DREAMS!"
Light slashes BB's cheek this time causing BB's head to slightly turn away from the brunette as a result. "Perhaps we are using the wrong tool." He says going back to the cart.
"You're only interested in our little group because we can take away the only thing you care for. The throne." BB states.
Light turns with a glare. "I am doing this for father and for Sayu. Both murdered." He tells the raven. "Making sure the kingdom doesn't fall into the hands of murderers is only a bonus."
BB laughs as Light turns to replace the knife with a new torture weapon.
Light picks up the hook but puts it back after not seeing how it will help here. He checks one of the two lower shelves and opens another box. He looks inside finding a pistol. He raises his eyebrow but picks it up nonetheless. He gets up turning back to BB.
BB is watching him as he approaches.
Light aims the gun at BB's leg. "Are you going to speak the information we speak?"
"You're really going to go for the legs?" BB questions.
"Of course." Light responds.
"I expected a murderer like you to go for a better spot like maybe the torso." BB snorts in amusement.
Light pulls the trigger hitting BB's leg.
"Ah!" BB gasps a little loudly but holds back on as much pain as he can.
"Speak information about your little rebellion group!" Light demands.
"Mihael and Nate are innocent." BB says in response. "There. You have your information."
"It is a lie. It is useless."
BB actually laughs at this.
Light sighs and lowers the gun. "Perhaps we are going after the wrong person." He says with a frown only to smirk. "Perhaps your so called precious lover will give us the information we seek." He says as he puts the gun on the cart.
"You fucking hurt him and I'll kill you!" BB snarls.
"Did I hit a soft spot?" Light asks glancing back. "Well then. Maybe you'll get lucky and won't hear his screams." He leaves the room as a guard comes in to get the cart.
"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING HURT HIM OR SO HELP ME!" BB's yells as Light leaves but Light keeps going.
Light arrives back on the other side of the two way mirror. "Let's try the other." He says. "Perhaps we will get something out of him. But if not we can maybe use him by showing his injuries to this one and maybe even hurt him in front of his lover. One of them will spill in the end."
"Yes sir." The guard walks with Light to the other room where A sits cuffed to the table like BB is and Light along with the guard stands on the one side of the two way mirror looking into the room.
