A/N: I do not own Death Note.
***
As Light reawakened he discreetly tested the heavy-duty chains that ran around his neck, arms, and legs, looking for a weak point as the strange man continued to touch him inappropriately, whispering "Don't worry, my Lord. I'll protect you."
Light's movements were sluggish, he still felt really groggy from whatever he was dosed with and everything ached.
Well at this point he had nothing to lose to try and appeal to sanity...
"I am protected. Really, so you can let me go..."
The man looked stung but then just smiled creepily and resumed fondling him.
"I can't do that God. You are too important to risk."
God?
He's the Second Kira!
Oh fu-
Light worked to stay calm. He had to be careful of what he said and did here-not just because he was dealing with a highly unstable individual-but...
The man looked at him lovingly with bedroom eyes.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Light shrieked as he began teasing his entrance.
"I wish to commune with God again..."
Again? Light thought wildly trying to break out of this drug-induced fog.
"We're... communing now... We're communed. We're so communed...!"
Just then an alarm began buzzing from Mikami's laptop. Light's kidnapper paused in his ministrations and kissed his shoulder gently and whispered.
"It's just a minor annoyance. I'll take care of it."
As soon as the man's back was turned Light began straining against the chains but when he moved his entire being was screaming in agony. Ryuk was suddenly there. The chain snapped free...
"I'm sorry, Light…"
Ryuk did as he was supposed to do-and what Light asked him to do if this situation ever arose.
He did nothing.
As Light had pointed out, he had lifespan. He'd survive anything anyone tried... but if Ryuk tried to interfere...
Ryuk could do nothing but watch when...
Light worked to stay calm as Ryuk confirmed his fragmented memories.
When he was drugged his kidnapper...
No. Don't think about that. Focus on the now.
Light was sure he could take his kidnapper under normal circumstances but given his current state, even keeping his eyes open was a struggle, and he only had one shot at this-it would be best to wait for an opportune moment to make his move...
While his kidnapper was focused elsewhere Light had taken that opportunity to begin painfully creeping out of the confines of the bed, as he grasped around for purchase he found his kidnapper's wallet on the bed stand... his name... Teru Mikami...
Light saw Mikami getting out his Death Note and Light strained to see what he was looking at on his laptop... some kind of video feed? That's what this was. He must have security cameras set up outside his apartment and...
The cavalry was here; from the look of it Ide... and another officer he didn't know.
That's what Light did when he pulled that pin on his watch; it activated a little device he had created that acted as an emergency line with the NPA, it recorded audio-only and traced his location. This emergency system had laid to rest any of Ide's lingering concerns about employing the high school prodigy and it would have worked out just fine if this was a normal kidnapper... however since his kidnapper was the Second Kira...
I've led them to their deaths!
At the moment Light had only one card to play. Light crept back into the bed, hiding the broken chain and then shouted in a commanding voice "Teru Mikami! Did you forget the oath you swore? You promised! You would not judge!"
Mikami looked shocked. "Is that truly Kira's will?"
"It is! Your God commands it!"
Mikami sighed "Very well..." and put the notebook aside... and picked up a heavy legal text instead. Just then Ide kicked the door down...
"Look out!" Light shouted too late...
...and Mikami threw the book at them. It hit ide square in the stomach; he stumbled back and lost his gun. In a flash, Mikami had the gun, and had it pointed at Ide's head.
"Drop it!" shouted Ide's partner.
Mikami refused and shouted "Kick your gun over to me or I'll kill him and then..." Forgive me my Lord. "I'll kill the hostage!" Mikami waved his pistol over to where he was keeping Light, drawing Ide's attention to where Light was chained to that stained bed.
"YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!" Ide shouted from the floor.
"Don't...!" Light groaned even as Ide's damn rookie partner did as Mikami demanded.
Idiots! You never give up your gun in a hostage situation!
Mikami pistol-whipped Ide's partner, knocking him out and hit Ide again as he tried to get up...
"TERU MIKAMI!" Light managed to get a regal note into his voice as he shouted. "I COMMAND YOU, YOU WILL NOT HARM THEM!"
"B-but God, they stand against us! They wish to take you away from me!"
Having been denied permission to delete his enemies Mikami settled for handcuffing them both to the radiator for now.
"Isn't that why you sent your messenger to me? Isn't this my duty to you?" If God wouldn't let him pass judgment… just what the hell was he supposed to do?
Unseen by Light who was continuing to try and persuade Mikami not to kill the officers Mikami's Shinigami snorted in amusement. "You're kidding me right? I'm not his 'messenger!'" the corpse-like thing grinned sadistically. "I don't even know the guy."
Mikami slowly turned to look the skeletal creature in the eye-sockets. "W-what? But… but I saw him! He was communing with..."
"'Air spirits,' right? Hah. You're such a moron. Use your brain for five seconds! What does it look like to other humans when I carry stuff around?"
"God! With... with a... Shinigami?"
"You see… there's just another Deal to be made…"
"A Deal?"
"Before you ask, no… You're not my type, for one… you're not pretty enough," said the butt-ugly corpse monster. "He's not a God. He's just a Sex Slave to one of my people and now he's lying to you… now I wonder… what do you think of that?"
The Shinigami found it highly amusing at how easy it was to send his human into an utter psychological meltdown.
Light had paused in his wheedling when it became apparent that Mikami was no longer paying any attention to him but it still came as a shock when Mikami turned around and pointed Ide's pistol at him.
"SEDUCER! BABYLON! FALSE PROPHET! YOU'RE NOT GOD!" Mikami screamed.
Light bolted out of the bed but not fast enough. Light was thrown back as he felt the bullet tear through his shoulder.
"LIGHT-O!" Ryuk screamed.
"Light!" Ide shouted.
Light heard them call his name as he was falling...
Falling...
...And landing awkwardly, painfully in a mess of blood-stained feathers.
The other Shinigami laughed at just how worked up Ryuk was getting...
"G-God…" Mikami stammered in remorse.
"I just told you!" The Shinigami sighed in exasperation. "He's not God, he's just a Slave. "
"NO! Y-you're lying! I shot..."
Light ignored the wound and got back up, working hard to control his breathing... and his rage. If he wanted to get control of this situation he had to keep a level-head.
Mikami sunk to his knees in contrition before Light.
"Please forgive me my Lord!"
Light spread wide his beautiful wings that have so captured his kidnapper's attention.
Meanwhile Ide was staring at him, his mouth gaping open. Light would have to deal with that later... (Maybe he could convince him that Mikami drugged him too?)
He should be safe. After all, he was only recording audio, and he already knew what he would tell them later. It was close enough to the truth-that he pretended to be Kira to gain control over Mikami...
"Teru Mikami you have sinned, but you may yet atone for this, will you obey your Lord?"
"YES! I-I'm so sorry I doubted you my Lord!" Mikami whimpered from the floor.
"Good. Then I would like to look over your works..."
Mikami rushed to obey. "Yes, anything you require!"
Mikami presented him with his Death Note. Light tried to hide his wince as he moved to take the Death Note, his shoulder continued to bleed profusely, but this needed to be taken care of first.
Light sighted where Mikami's Shinigami was grinning malevolently and looked over the names written inside pretending to "confirm it" for the sake of his audience...
"Don't move," Light ordered Mikami.
"Your wish is my command, God," Mikami said in a crazed voice.
Just a few steps… that's all I have to do…
Ide finally seemed to finally snap out of it as Light, Kira(?), naked, bloody, ravaged, and with freakin' wings sprouting out of his back limped his way towards him.
"What are you doing?" Ide demanded and strained against the handcuffs as Light fished Ide's cigarette lighter out of his shirt pocket. Light tapped Ide with the Death Note so that he too saw the Shinigami.
Seen only by Light was how Ryuk was snarling at him… not that that seemed to affect the Shinigami at all… it just kept grinning. Then they both disappeared through the wall...
"This is Kira's murder weapon," Light said, exhaustion was beginning to color his voice.
Without further ado Light flipped open the cigarette lighter and set the notebook aflame.
"Without this, he's powerless."
"GOD!"
Mikami looked like he was about to lunge at them...
A glare from Light stopped him in his tracks.
"Teru Mikami," Light said once more in a commanding tone, once again spreading his wings, ravaged as he was he made for a very imposing figure. "Do you question God?"
Teru sunk to his knees. "No... no my Lord."
"Then be absolved of your sins."
Mikami swooned as the notebook burned to ashes.

"Hey Ryuk!" the other Shinigami cackled. "Nice Slave you got there…"
"ZELLOGI! HE'S MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" Ryuk roared.
"Ah, Ryuk…" Zellogi chuckled as he idly twirled his bone scythe.
Ryuk growled threateningly.
The other Shinigami sighed. "Save it… You know me, I prefer chicks… But you've really fallen hard for him, haven't you? It's been nice knowing you..."
He's not going to challenge me? Ryuk slumped with visible relief.
"I just missed you back home, you know? I wanted to see what you were doing here and I wanted to play too… You're so lucky; you got a slave you like! And I have to find another Notebook now," Zellogi groaned.
Ryuk quirked a non-existent eyebrow, "If you wanted a female slave then why not chuck it at a female…"
Zellogi awkwardly straightened his Indian headdress with his hook hand. "Well you see Teru here totally looked like a girl from behind…"

"ON THE GROUND, NOW!" Naomi Misora shouted as she, Raye, and Aizawa gained entry moments after the Notebook was destroyed. Light hastily retracted his wings as he sagged to the floor.
"Red-haired angel..." gasped Raye Penber.
Too late apparently they had seen too...
Yes, Mikami used a potent hallucinogen, an airborne agent and everyone present was affected... that could work...
Wait a minute... red-haired... and Maki-san... oh shi-
Was all that Light was able to think before he felt the kick to his gut delivered by one Naomi Misora… who saw red, and for the moment had forgotten about why they were here in favor of good old-fashioned revenge as she kept kicking him and...
"Stop it!" Ide shouted. Even if Light is(?)... was(?) Kira he was injured, he was raped... and...
"He's going to bleed to death!"
Light let the darkness claim him.
