Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or Descendants of Darkness.

Pairings: Raito/L, Muraki/Tsuzuki

Summary: Raito gained the death note and his mind is spinning with his feelings for L and a surprised visit from his past. Who will win? Who will die?

Notes: I came up with this idea and it won't leave me alone. So, I wrote it. It is a crossover of Death Note and Descendants of Darkness. Please tell me what you think. Comments will help me write.

It was finally there. Raito finally had the death note. He has return, but he felt incomplete. He stared at L who was working without saying a word. He already had Misa grab the other death note. Criminals once again were dying. He sighed, annoyed. His memories of the time when he gave up the death note came to him, but he had no choice and go forward with his plan. He had to or else. He sat down beside L, feeling those dark soulless eyes staring him down. He knew L knew. He could tell by the stare. Besides, he went right to Misa off the bat. Everyone in the room was silent. His father left, saying something came up and he would return. He turned his head and like he thought L's eyes were on him. He felt the shame eat him alive, consuming his soul. He turned his head, giving L one victory. He closed his eyes as he remembered the first time he felt lips against his. It felt wonderful. It felt like he was whole. Was this the equal he never thought to find in the world? He gave a bitter smile, but it was too late. It would be over soon enough.

Aizawa hissed, "Tell us everything Rem."

Rem spoke, "I told you all I know."

L bit his thumb and spoke, "I doubt that."

Everything became silent as his father walked into the room. There were some gasps and surprised looks. Raito turned his head and stood up in shock. His body shook to the core. Why? How?

Everything fell silent as words spoke, "We need to talk Raito."

The name was a curse flying out of those thin lips. Raito turned to look at his father who looked sad and in distressed. He growled, "There is nothing to discuss, Oriya."

"Who is this and why is he here, Yagami-san?" L asked as the man stood up.

Oriya spoke, "It deals with Muraki."

The one name he did not want to hear. It bought too much to his mind. Something that should stay far away, never reawakening. Raito slammed his hands down on the table, shocking the entire room. He sneered, "I hate Muraki and never want to hear his name again. It is over with, Oriya. HE IS DEAD! They won against him twelve years ago." The last part was whispered. The memories returned. The harsh reality hitting him. He needed to leave and calm down his emotions. His father looked with deep sadness but he would never understand the truth. He walked by Oriya to head out of the room.

Oriya spoke, "Hate him that much. If he was alive, would you kill him where he stood?"

Everyone got silent. Raito did not turn his head, speaking, "I would never kill anyone, Oriya."

"Who are you protecting?" Oriya asked.

Raito turned his head, stating, "I have no idea what you are talking about." He could feel L's eyes on him again. He turned his head to look at the detective. Rem was floating around the others, staring him down. She held a confused look. He shook his head, looking at his father, "You should have never bought him here. I have nothing to discuss with him." He walked away before anymore words could be said. Watari was walking down the hall, looking at him in concern. Did he look like the wreck he felt? He tried to hide behind a calm mask. He walked to the roof, feeling the harsh wind blow against him. He walked to the ledge, staring down the tall building. He took a step onto the ledge, staring down. He found an equal. He felt it in his soul. Only L could kill him. Only he could kill L. Still, time was short. Everything was ending. He felt the pain in his heart and soul, trying to consume him. He closed his eyes, feeling something, he never thought he would ever feel.

L stared down the man. Who was Muraki? Did this man try to get Raito to confess? Watari walked into the room, not looking pleased with Yagami. He asked, "Who are you?"

Oriya turned to see the notebook floating up, chuckling, "That is not something you see every day."

L growled to see Rem take the death note throwing it at the strange man. To his shock, Oriya did not flinch to see Rem standing before him. Rem looked with questions at Oriya. Yagami was risking everything in the room. He has never seen Raito break open in emotion. Even as they started to make out, Raito was tight lip on emotion.

Rem asked, "You said Muraki. I heard of that man. He is a legend in the world of the dead."

"What do you mean?" Yagami asked.

Rem chuckled coldly, "There are two types of Shinigami. One from Mu and Hades. Muraki took on the most powerful Shinigami from Hades and lived to tell the tale."

Oriya laughed bitterly, "Yes but they got him in the end."

L asked, "How does Raito know this man?"

"He was a doctor for me when I was young," Raito replied as he entered, all emotion wiped from the face.

L knew the other was lying. Yagami kept his mouth shut. Oriya shook his head at Raito, who looked with a deep glare. He jumped on the chair, his toes curling over the chair, asking, "Why is Yagami-kun lying?"

Oriya replied, "He isn't lying. Just another lost soul that Muraki had."

Matsuda asked, "What does that mean?"

Raito hissed, "Leave me alone, Oriya. Get out of here and out of my life."

"You know I cannot leave your life," Oriya remarked.

L sighed, "I'm afraid he must stay, Yagami-kun. He has seen our work at hand. Now, he might be a target for Kira."

Raito sat down, chuckling bitterly, "If you knew Oriya's past, you would already have seen him a target."

"To die without someone by your side. Such a shame. So, used to have death right in front of me," Oriya remarked.

Raito felt the world consume him. L was staring, confused. He chuckled at the look. Everyone was staring between them all. He started to type, stating, "We have Kira to catch."

L remarked, "I still feel Yagami-kun is Kira."

Before he could deny, Oriya laughed loudly, "Now that is interesting to the say the least."

"Shut up Oriya," Raito ordered.

L asked, "What do you know, Oriya-san?"

"I'm afraid you will not me to reveal anything," Oriya stated.

Raito watched Oriya lit up a cigarette. He was so used to see him with his pipe. He closed his eyes.

"Ah, my Light," A deep cold voice spoke.

"You will find an equal. You will feel the strong desire like never before," The voice continued.

"All you have is your pride," The voice continued.

"Ah, my Light," The cold voice sighed.

Raito opened his eyes to see L standing in front of him. He could not hide his emotions in time. L looked shock to see tears of his horror. He wiped them away, pushing the older man away from him. He hissed, "The rules in the book proves my innocence." Liar. You wrote them. He thought. He would not kill his equal. It would be Rem like he planned. He could not even have the guts to kill L, himself. The desire in him was strong just like Muraki told him it would be.

L stared stunned to see tears in those honey eyes. He stared at the strange man who spoke in riddles. Watari was showing Oriya out to go to a room. Everyone was staring him down. This was a mystery again. What did he not know? He asked, "What was his name?"

Raito answered without blinking an eye, "Muraki Kazutaka."

L felt like he would find nothing, but he went to his computer. He knew Yagami was staring down his son. What did he not know? Everyone said they were heading home. He waved them but the chief stood behind Raito. He asked, "Who is he, Yagami-san?"

Yagami sighed, "A doctor."

Before he questioned more, Yagami walked out of the room. Raito was typing away without turning to look at him. He went to his computer, pulling up information. He found the doctor quickly. Seeing he was married twice. The first wife died shortly after their marriage. The second marriage the woman died under mysteriously nature, but nothing could tie anything to anyone. He looked to see such tiredness in Raito. He stood up, hunched over. He stood in front of the teenager, who glanced up. He leaned forward, kissing the lips. They tasted like death, not sweet. The kiss was not returned like before. He pulled back, sighing, "I was hoping I was wrong."

Raito stood up, sighing, "I'm with Misa."

"Didn't seem to mind before," L pointed out. He watched as Raito walked out of the room with a glare. He stared back at Rem who was staring at him. He tilted his head, asking, "Who is Muraki?"

Rem seemed to be thinking, then shrugged her shoulders as she answered, "He was a ruthless murderer who piled his victims before Shinigami feet to draw him into his madness."

L stared shock as he heard the words. There was nothing on record about him being a killer. He turned and walked out. He went to Raito's room. He heard voices, knowing he could see the cameras later to hear everything.

"What are you doing here, Oriya!?" Raito screamed.

"You know why," Oriya replied.

Raito hissed, "I am done with the Muraki name. It haunted me long enough."

"They paid me a visit," Oriya replied.

"It is over when he died!" Raito growled loudly.

L walked into the room to see brown eyes of Oriya stare him down. He looked at Raito who was ready to lose his mind. He asked, "What is going on?"

Oriya turned to Raito stating, "They are looking for Kira. See the problem, Raito. You are a suspect and now they are looking for any damn reason to go after you."

Raito growled, "It is over with. I'm fine. I'm not Kira."

L rubbed his foot along his leg, asking, "Who is looking for Kira?"

Oriya hissed, losing his temper, "I watched him die. I knew that day would come but I'll be damn to see you die!"

Raito looked at him for a second, making him freeze as the teenager spoke, "All I have is my pride."

Oriya snorted, "Looks like you did not forget him."

When Oriya left the room, L asked, "What is going on?"

Raito hissed, "I do not want to talk about it."

L pushed Raito to the bed, staring down to see those eyes filled with hatred. They were once filled with innocence. Now, it was gone. He asked, "Would you mourn my death?"

Raito shook, whispering, "Of course, I would. You are my friend."

"Friendship is not stopping you from your plans," L sighed sadly. What could he do to save Raito? Raito pushed him back, hissing that he was not Kira. He laughed bitterly, "I know my lover. I know Raito is lying. I know Raito is going to kill me." He walked out of the room. Still, he was no closer to finding the truth. He walked into Watari's room to see the man sigh. He sat down, asking, "What do you think?"

Watari went back to the computers, replying, "I told you that is a bad idea to have a relationship with Raito-kun."

L rubbed his foot against his leg, mumbling, "I was not talking about that."

Watari sighed, "This Oriya character is not telling everything. I feel he is bring more problems here than is needed. He rubs me the wrong way. I feel danger in him."

Raito stared out the window. Rem was in the room, staring him down but not speaking to him. Oriya knew. He could feel it. He closed his eyes, shutting everything out. He will have to kill his own lover. It was to hurt him the worst way. Why did it all come back? He said the truth. He only had his pride in everything. He heard someone walk into the room. He opened his eyes to see Oriya standing there. There were cameras in every room in this place. He made his peace long ago.

Oriya sighed, "Do you really hate him?"

Raito thought over it but did not answer. He did not want to reveal his truth to anyone. He was alone until the end. He touched the glass, feeling his world pulling him down. It would be over soon. It would be a huge surprise to everyone.

Oriya snorted, "You could have come to me."

No, he couldn't. Raito turned around to face Oriya. The long brown hair flowed over the man. He sighed, "I am only a weakness."

"Yes," Oriya agreed.

Raito felt the tears, pushing them back. The pain was too much. He was Kira. He was setting up his lover's death and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He smiled bitterly, "I have found an equal." He didn't know why he was telling Oriya since the man was not going to understand. He shook his head, sighing, "It doesn't matter."

"I told you I will not watch you die," Oriya remarked.

Raito laughed bitterly, "Death came and took me already."

Oriya stated, "I die for one name and only one name."

Raito whispered, "Muraki." He heard L walk into the room. Rem looked with a glare at them all. He leaned against the glass. He asked, "Would you do anything for me, Oriya?" L looked with a look of anger. Watari walked into the room with a gun pointed at Oriya.

Oriya did not move an inch, staring at him, "Anything you want, Light, it is yours."

Raito looked into the brown eyes, stating with a bitter smile, "Protect my family." Oriya took a step forward, pleading with him. He turned his head to L to see confusion on his face. He laughed, "You played well, L. So, well. Damn I fell. No God would fall prey. I AM KIRA!"
