Nowhere to Run (Chapter 1)
L, Light (Death Note)
Takes place in an AU where L never died. Instead, L and Light take a well needed break from the Kira case which, they assume, is over for now. They go to investigate killings at a highschool in America. But what happens when the detectives become the victims? I obviously don't own Death Note or the characters. L x Light rated M just in case.
Chapter 1: Break Time
Light and L were sitting at headquarters, just like any other day. The assumed Kira was dead and no other killings have occured. L, of course, still suspected Light and, now that he knew about the notebook, believed that there were more notebooks out there. But, the killings have stopped for now and L turned to Light.
"Hey, Light?"
"Yeah, Ryuzaki?"
"Lets take a break. Theres a case in America that I'd like your help investigating."
"But, what about Kira?!" Light exclaimed, surprised.
"There are obviously no new deaths and we need a break. Plus, i estimate we'll have the American case settled in less than a week."
Light was surprised, but he wouldn't pass on this oppertunity. "Okay," He said. "Lets go."
The case was in a small high school. Apparently, a serial killer was killing off students. Now, it being a small school, everyone knew the victims. All the victims were nice, smart kids with no aparent enemies. All the vicitims were in one or more of the following clubs; Student Council, Robotics Club, Speech Team, The School Newspaper, Yearbook Comity, The Play, The Musical, Key Club. Of course, these were tippically the smartest kids in school, and all the people killed were at or near the top of their class. The first victim, in fact was at the top of the Jounior Class.
When L and Light arrived at the school, they met the principal, assistant principal, and superentendant. They also had a student show them arround. Her name was Kaitlyn. When Kaitlyn finished showing them the class rooms, she took them around the school a second time, showing them the rooms where the clubs meet. None of the victims had actually died in the school; they had died at home or else where in town. Finally, they had finished the tour and Light noticed Kaitlyn looked a little frightened. He asked her to sit down at a desk and tell them whats the matter.
