Chapter sixteen:
"Yeah I know it was you who killed Soichiro!" A states.
"You also believe in the lies that are handed to you." Light says. "It seems that the children of the evil princess spread lies all around their little rebellion group." He says trying to hold back a growl. "That is why you all follow them and why it is hard to get information out of any of you when the two of them fill all of your heads with lies."
"They are hardly lies." A practically spits back at Light.
"That's what they want you to believe." Light crosses his arms over his chest. "Now. Would you like to do this the easy way or the hard way like you lover chose?"
A's eyes narrow. "Why you little!" He snarls then yanks hard on the cuffs breaking them as if they were nothing only to leap onto Light.
Light is surprised not having any time to dodge so he falls to the ground as A holds him there by his throat as he straddles him. "What is this!? You have not shown such strength like power before!"
A chuckles as his eyes show a dangerous and dark look. "I was saving it to use my trump card. And now was the best time to use it." He says in a dangerous tone.
Light's eyes narrow at him and he doesn't struggle knowing that A is stronger than him if he was able to break the cuffs.
"Now. I could snap your neck easily right here and now." A tells Light then glances up slightly as four guards rush into the room ready to save Light. "Unless you want to watch your oh so precious kings neck be snapped you will stand down!" He orders.
Hesitantly the guards back off not wanting to be the cause of Light's death.
A smirks then looks back down to Light. "How pathetic." He almost laughs. "It truly is pathetic seeing you like this. So weak and helpless against someone who could at this very moment bring you to your demise."
"Then let me ask you." Light says with a small smile on his face. "You have your chance. Why are you not taking it?"
The guards watch on worriedly but stay back knowing that they must trust Light right now.
A actually laughs this time. "Because I am having way too much fun for starters." He tells the other. "As for my other reason well I want to make sure that a promise is made before I do this. You will be stuck here awaiting your possible death if anyone tries anything until you make a true promise to me." He leans a little closer to Light. "Now say it right here and now that you surrender the throne to Nate and I might just spare your pathetic life."
Light smirks. "I think that you have underestimated me." He says then swiftly slams a hand into A's stomach sending a blast of fire quickly at him.
"AH!" A is sent flying back and almost hits the metal table.
The guards move in quickly to try to restrain A while Light slightly sits up bringing a gentle hand to his throat.
A slams a hard punch to one guards jaw in which a harsh crack is heard then he grabs another guard slamming him very harshly onto the floor making it crack. He lets go of that guard as another guard grabs him from behind only for him to be thrown off of A as A gives a very violent toss of his body mixing with a blast of wind causing the guard to release A as he is thrown back from the attack only to smack into the wall a little harshly. He turns to the last guard and slams a kick into the guards side and ribs can be heard breaking as the guard is hit then said guard falls to the ground.
As A is a little distracted Light sends a fire ball at A knocking him bac when it hits his chest causing A to be knocked back to where the back of his head hits the table knocking him out.
There is a few drops of blood on the table where A's head hit it but it is not an alarming amount of blood so it is ignored.
Light gets to his feet and takes a look at A seeing the burn marks of where A was hit by Light's attacks. He notes that A's skin was burned along with his clothes that allow A's skin to be seen, by the attacks that Light had hit him with. He looks to the guards as only two seem to be able to stand even if there is pain there. "We must restrain him. Find a way to stop him from using both of his abilities."
"I-I never knew that having such incredible strength actually was a thing." The guard with the broken jaw says obviously in pain as evident in his pain filled voice while his one hand hovers by his broken jaw.
"I'm a little more shocked that he has two powers." The guard with the broken ribs says also in pain. "I thought that only the royal family had the chance that might happen." He adds stopping before he mentions Miskumi not wanting to find out what will happen if he even so much as mentions that name with Light here.
"It doesn't matter. What matters right now is that we need to do something about him." Light tells them sternly.
"Why don't we kill him right here and now to stop him from causing anymore damage, harm or even before he causes any deaths. After all we have two others in our custody." The guard with the broken ribs says. "We could bring the other raven in here for questioning."
Light clenches his hands into fists and releases a growl. "No." He says sharply making the guard with the broken ribs jump. "You do not understand." He turns to glare at the guard that takes a step back cowering slightly under Light's gaze. "I am using a different method to get the other raven to give me information. I will not risk taking any steps back in the progress I have made in getting him to talk to me to give me information. Am I understood?" He continues speaking sharply.
The guard with the broken ribs nods quickly. "Crystal clear."
Light relaxes. "Good. Now make sure that we find a way to restrain him." He gestures to A. "For now that is enough interrogating. We will be using the twos love for each other to try to get them to crack."
"Understood." The guard with the broken ribs nods then salutes Light.
"Good." Light turns and takes his leave out of the room. He walks away from the rooms and practically dashes to where L is being held. He slows down to a walk half way there as he wonders why he was going straight to L. "I just have to make sure that he is at least ok." He says to himself as he continues walking in the direction of the room L is in until he finds himself standing outside of the room he has been heading to. "Well…." He says to himself looking at the door. "This is it." He reaches towards the doorknob only to hesitate. "What if…." He looks down to his hand as he turns it over so he is looking at his palm. "What if… What I said was really…. I mean…. Subconsciously….?" His head whips back up to the door then he takes a few steps back almost stumbling backwards. "It isn't right to him." He turns and runs off to his own room slamming the door behind himself. He leans against the door with a heavy sigh and tilts his head back causing the back of his head to hit the door lightly. "Surely it isn't true…. Right…? I'm not just doing this to… to get information out of him…. I mean…. Maybe at first… But now…." He lowers his head now looking down as he stares at his hands. He clenches them into fists then pushes himself away from the door only to pace in front of his bed for five minutes turning with a slight swing of his head as if showing aggression. "No." He stops after about five minutes and shakes his head. "It is not what I want from him. He is not just some tool to be used for information then thrown away." He sighs closing his eyes before walking over to his bed sitting down on it burying his face into his hands. "Oh man. This is quite the predicament…." He opens his eyes half way then turns and crawls further onto the bed until he settles over top of the covers with his head resting on a pillow. His eyes slip closed as he lets himself be taken into darkness.
….
L hears the door open and he turns expecting Light but instead finds a guard standing there in the open doorway instead.
…
Light blinks open his eyes halfway first then blinks them fully open after a few blinks. He looks around himself finding himself in a black place as he stands on a pathway of stars.
"Light. It's great to see you again."
Light whips around to the person who spoke as the person approached then stopped. "Sayu." He says as his eyes start to water a little.
