Yahalo! EnderJess here! This fanfiction is about L Lawliet rising up from death. Hope you like! :3

Disclaimer: I obviously do not own Death Note.

. . .

November 5, 2004. I was about 25 years old at the time of my death. My name is L Lawliet, known mononymously as L. I worked in the Kira case, tell November 5, 2004, my death. Well, it was supposed to be. I wake up in a very death-like world, everything dead. It looked to be some black and white movie, but it was something way color-less. I was wearing the same thing I always wore, white long-sleeved shirt and baggy blue jeans.

(L, Lawliet)- Where the hell-

(Sorata)- Oh, look! A human!

(Katai)- A HUMAN!? What is a HUMAN doing in a Shinigami realm!?

I slowly but steadily faced the direction of where the strange voices were coming from. That's when I saw them, two Shinigami. One of them had pale skin, spikey dark brown hair, and had some sort of scythe. He was wearing some kind of robe, too. The robe was black but had red symbols on it. The other Shinigami was a little shorter and was covered with bone armor. He had brown hair, too, but it was lighter and was slanted back. He had a red bandana tied to his head.

(L, Lawliet)- "…." Could you tell me where I am? *Said without emotion*

(Sorata)- "…." Ha? No active reaction!?

(L, Lawliet)- "…."

(L, Lawliet)- So could you tell me where I'm at? I have a few guesses of where I could be-

(Katai)- Forget that! Why are you in the Shinigami Realm!? Humans aren't allowed here!

(L, Lawliet)- "…." Ah, so I'm in the Shinigami Realm, I see.

(Sorata)- Could you just explain how you got here in the first place!? *Said in a disturbed tone*

I was dead just a while ago. I remember having a heart attack, then dying seconds later. The last thing I remember was Light's wicked smile slowly fading away. Yagami Light did this. I knew from the start that Light was Kira. In truth, I really didn't want that to be true. I was prepared to die, but without my help, the Kira Investigators aren't going to find Kira anytime soon.

(L, Lawliet)- I must get to the Kira Investigation this instant.

(Katai)- Huh, what is this Kira Investigation you speak of?

(L, Lawliet's thoughts)- 'Should I really tell them? It's not like there really any harm. Not that I know of, anyway. I do need their help to get back so if I get on their good side they could just help me.'

(L, Lawliet)- The Kira Investigation is- well first I should explain to you of who 'Kira' is.

(Sorata and Katai)- "….."

(L, Lawliet)- Kira is the figure causing the mass heart attack deaths of criminals. The name Kira was created by the public in response to Kira's initial use of the Death Note, and various members of the public view Kira as a god. Various Death Note users act as Kira, but their identities are unknown to the public so their actions are viewed as being committed by one entity. In the Kira investigation, several differences in methods of killing are profiled, so the groups that oppose Kira determine that more than one person is acting as Kira. The different Kira's are given nicknames to differentiate them.

(L, Lawliet)- I am- err, I was the leader of the Kira Investigation Team until I died by Kira's hand himself.

(Katai)- I see, yes I've heard about this 'Kira'.

(L, Lawliet)- Yes. "…" What are your names?

(Katai)- Ah, yes. My name is Katai. This is my brother, Sorata.

He exclaimed gesturing toward the Shinigami with the scythe.

(Sorata)- Sorata means the sky or the heavens. Katai means hard, solid, and tough.

(Katai)- Now that we gave you our names, specify yours!

(L, Lawliet)- "…?" Can't you see my name above my head?

(Sorata)- Yes, I noticed that earlier. I can't seem to see your name nor your place of birth and death. When I look above your head, I see nothing. Not even a cloud of darkness, there's nothing.

(Katai)- Say, human, how do you know that we have the power to see a human's name and lifeline? Do you have the eye of the Shinigami? Do you hold a death note?

(L, Lawliet)- No, I do not hold such an object, nor the eye of the Shinigami.

(L, Lawliet)- "…." How do I know about this? I didn't a couple seconds ago. . . *I murmured*

(Katai)- What was the last thing you remember before encountering the Shinigami realm?

(L, Lawliet)- Like I explained earlier; I remember dying by the death notes hand. . . and then waking up here after a heart attack. Before I died there was a case I had to finish, it was called the 'Kira Investigation'. There where mysterious murders; the victims were criminals. They just die out of the blue, some end up killing themselves, and most die of heart attack. They all die in many ways, not just heart attacks and suicide. I took responsibility for this case with some others. For a while, we thought it was some kind of terrorist that can kill someone just by knowing their name and face. The theory was approved, we now call the so-called terrorist, Kira. That is why we call it the 'Kira Investigation'. We were trying to find out who this Kira was and put an end to this, we still haven't. Now that I'm supposedly dead, I don't know how they're going to finish the case without me.

(L, Lawliet)- Please don't make me explain again.

I settled down on the cold dusty ground, Sorata looked down at me then smirked. Katai laid near me.

(Sorata)- I've always wanted to go down to the human's realm. Katai quickly jumped up facing Sorata.

(Katai)- Sorata, what do you mean!? You're not planning to go to the human's realm, are you!?

(Sorata)- Why not? It's not like we have anything better to do, I'm getting tired of it here.

Sorata pulled something from his pocket and walked toward me.

(Sorata)- Here.

(L, Lawliet)- What is it?

(Sorata)- It's a pocket watch.

(L, Lawliet)- A pocket watch? Why do I need a pocket watch?

I say as Sorata hands me it.

(Sorata)- It's not just any random pocket watch, it's a cursed pocket watch.

Surprised, the pocket watch falls from my grasp, I then quickly grab it before it touches the ground. The pocket watch was silver and it had some kind of language imprinted on it.

(L, Lawliet)- What does it do?

(Katai)- *Sigh* I guess I can't stop you from going. . . the pocket watch grants you permission to travel to other realms. It's really rare and many Shinigami don't know of this, only humans can use such an item. Humans can't come to the Shinigami realm even if they wanted to, but somehow you were able. Since your possibly dead, that's probably one of the reasons you got here with such ease.

(L, Lawliet)- What else can it do?

(Sorata)-There are probably many other things it can do, but I don't know of any at the moment.

(L, Lawliet)- Ah, I see.

(Katai)- Remember, you deceased as a living being. You're not human anymore.

(L, Lawliet)- Then, what am I? I look nothing like a Shinigami. . .

(Katai)- Hmm, well, if you were somehow a Shinigami it would make sense, but if you're a Shinigami then you can't use the pocket watch so you could be half Shinigami and half human.

(L, Lawliet)- ". … . ."

(Sorata)- If you lose the pocket watch and someone tries to use it they won't be able to. Once you use it anyway.

I trace my finger on the imprinted language. The imprint then starts to glow, but I don't notice.

(L, Lawliet)- Got it, how do I trigger-

All of a sudden everything turns black and I lose consciousness.

. . .
