Rebirth

Raito had to go down to where Wammy's Orphanage was, around nine years after Ryuuzaki died. He had wanted to see what had become of what he and Watari left behind. No, actually, he was here because somebody asked him to. And he also wanted to see, of course. One of Watari's friends that had gotten the place from him that was now running it wanted him to come and take a child. He didn't want to, of course, but why turn down the offer? The kid must have an IQ as high as what Ryuuzaki had.

His car entered the mansion's huge gates, and stopped at the porch. He went up on the porch and rang the doorbell. A middle aged man opened the door. "Yes? May I help you?" he asked

"Yagami Raito," he said. "I was called here, by Taniuchi Hideki?" (1)

"Ah, yes, Yagami-san, please come in," said the man, letting Raito in and lading him to the living room. "It's a pleasure that you have made it,"

Raito stepped in the house and observed it. It had a historical touch to it. Beautifully carved wooden walls, a big wooden staircase with a dark green carpet on it, and the fireplace was marvelous. Marble. The fireplace was carved marble. On it, were figures of angels and demons, but he didn't care so he just sat down on one of the sofas.

"Please wait here for a while, Yagami-san, Taniuchi-kun will be with you shortly," said the man before he left to tell Taniuchi that his guest had arrived.

He sat there quietly, looking at his watch, thinking if he was going to kill the Taniuchi guy or not. Which reminds him; why not ask about Ryuuzaki while he was here? Dang, Watari's already dead. A long time ago. And he was the only one who knew everything about Ryuuzaki.

"Yagami-san?"

Raito looked to his right and saw a middle aged man as well, maybe it was Taniuchi. He stood up. "Good morning,"

"Good morning to you as well, Yagami-san, please, sit back down," he said, sitting opposite Raito. "I, as you already know, am Taniuchi Hideki," Raito was listening. "I was called you here because I asked you a favor," Raito didn't sat anything. "Will you do it?"

"It's not like I have much of a choice," he said.

"Thank you," he said, relieved. "Please wait here," he stood up and left. He came back a few moments later, with a little girl. She was pale, but pretty with beautiful black hair down to half of her back and she wore a white headband with a ribbon on the right side. She also wore a white dress down to her knees, white leather shoes and white socks. "Ryuuzaku, this is Yagami Raito,"

'Ryuuzaku?!' Raito mentally yelled. 'Why the hell is this girl named after Ryuuzaki?!' he stayed calm outside.

Taniuchi knelt to her level. "Go to the den, dear," he whispered. "Yagami-san will be the one to take you home,"

The girl nodded, bowed at Raito, and went past the two men, out the living room and into the den. "That's the kid?"

"Yes, and you might be wondering why she was named after L," he sat back down opposite Raito. Raito, again, was listening. "You see, Ryuuzaki was a little above six years older than you when you two first met. And before you two met, that was around when the Kira case was started, he had a lover,"

"L-lover…?"

"Yes, you might not believe it, but somebody actually had the heart to love him, despite the unusual qualities he had. Between the times you two were working on the case, (the first time, when he had the note) his lover had called and told him the good news that she was with child. Ryuuzaki was happy of course. You night not see it, but he was worried about her everyday, as Watari had told me. When you and the other officers were sleeping, and you had gone home, he wasn't just solving the case, but sending mail to his loved one, telling her that he was fine and they will celebrate when the case was solved and he will be able to see his child," he paused for a while.

"But Ryuuzaki died," said Raito.

"Yes. A week after that incident, his lover, who had used the alias, Shizuka (2), had given birth to a beautiful baby girl,"

"That was Ryuuzaku,"

"Correct, Yagami-san, but Shizuka had died just after seeing the baby. She didn't tell the doctor that she had a heart problem, and that it would be dangerous for her to give birth naturally,"

"But she already knew Ryuuzaki was dead?"

"She would be the first to know, and nobody else, Yagami-san," he said. "The girl was brought here. We have decided to her under your care. But since you were too young to be her official guardian, we waited until you were. We understand that you didn't know, Yagami-san, so please if you feel even the tiniest sorry for the child that she didn't see or feel neither of her parents, don't, because she already has you,"

Raito didn't say anything. Why did he feel that way? Was he sorry? Was he sorry because he had the chance to see his parent and the girl didn't? Truth is, Ryuuzaki was the only friend he had as well. The only true friend, that is. Was he sorry that the girl had no more parents? Was he sorry because the girl didn't see how 'great' her father was?

"Would you like to get to know her, Yagami-san?"

"I think I'll do that in the car, Taniuchi-san, we're a long way from home," said Raito standing up and putting his hands in his pockets.

Taniuchi stood up as well. "I will have a servant get her bags," he went to the den. "Ryuuzaku, do you want to go home with Yagami-san?" he asked the girl.

"I find him appealing for a parent, Hideki-kun, I think I will," she said, taking a glance at Raito.

"Alright then, he will be taking you home now," he said, taking her hand and entering the living room.

Taniuchi left to order a servant, and left the two alone. Raito sat back down and the girl just stood there, observing him. "Why don't you sit down?"

"Hai," she said, sitting opposite him.

'Thank God she doesn't sit like him,' he thought. It would look bad if he had a daughter sitting like Ryuuzaki, right?

"Yagami-san, Ryuuzaku's things are already outside, could you please open the trunk?" said the middle-aged man that had opened the door for him a while ago.

Raito stood up. "Come on, Ryuuzaku, let's go home," 'That felt weird,'

"Hai," she followed him out the house.

Raito pushed the button on his car keys and the car unlocked. The servants put two bags of clothes, and a medium sized paper bag containing her toys. "We will be going, Taniuchi-san," he said, opening the front car seat for Ryuuzaku.

"Arigatou," she said, before going in the car.

"Take care, Ryuuzaku," Taniuchi said before Raito closed the car door. "Take care of her, Yagami-san,"

"I think I'm going to get her a nanny, Taniuchi-san," said Raito.

"I thought you and Misa-san were together," he said

"I broke up with her," said Raito, going to the other side of the car. "If you're wondering why I did, it's none of your business," he got in the car and they went on their way. Ryuuzaku put on her seatbelt and sat quietly on her seat.

They were like that for the rest of the hour trip back to Kantou. Ryuuzaku didn't say anything, and did Raito so. When they got to Raito's condo, he put her things in one of the vacant rooms. "Alright, Ryuuzaku, this is your room," said Raito, leading her to the room next to his. "I didn't know that you were a girl so, I left the room in its original colour, green, you can look around if you want, and be careful in the balcony," he said. "I don't know what you like to eat, so you can raid the fridge if you want. And you can start unpacking your clothes. If you need anything, I'll be in the office, that's across the hall," he left. Halfway across the hall, he heard,

"A-ano!"

He turned around. Ryuuzaku was running towards him. She stopped in front of him. "Thank you very much, Father," she bowed and went back to unpacking her things.

A small smile graced his lips. "It's Ryuuzaki turned into a girl with manners," he mumbled under his breath.

Do you want me to continue, or leave it a oneshot? Review please.
