Death Touch

The First Chapter

Light's eyes opened to his small bland room his fist immediately hitting the snooze button. He got up and got dressed and checked his schedule. "6 hours of practice, 10 hours of homework and writing and 9 hours of sleep" he smirked and walked over to his phone as is rang.

"Yeah?" he said in a monotone. "Yosh" he said as he hung up the phone.

"It seems I have a gig tonight" he said looking over at Ryuk whom was stuffing his face with apples. Light walked to his closet and pulled on tight black jeans with a studded belt and a black T. He fully equipped himself with the dark make up to go. He glanced at himself in the mirror and grabbed his bag and headed out to the best rock club around. The NightCrawler. His band had been playing there steadily for a few weeks now and hoped they'd get into the Hall of fame. You see the NightCrawler was a giant battle of the bands.

L was determined to have a good time. Being the high class owner of Shinigami records often took up a lot of his time. He looked around a few of his colleagues suggested he come to this club to look for new Talent. L looked around at all the teens that seemed to go by in a blur, the endless grog of noise bleeding from the speakers. He couldn't wait until tonight; this…band name caught his eye. Desu Nōtothey were called, he needed to hear them. He shot back another drinking and feverishly shoved more cake into his mouth awaiting what the night would bring him.

Light let out an effortless mumble into the microphone. His auburn orbs off somewhere else. His was thinking about tonight. His band only had to stay for 3 more weeks to get into the hall of fame. Something about tonight caught his attention; there was a strange feeling he had in the pit of his stomach. Misa put her drum sticks down, pouted and walked off with Mello and Near. Light let out a final sigh…

"I'll see you tonight" he said to an empty room. He headed down to the NightCrawler hours before it was time for Desu Nōto to perform.

L sat at the bar after having swigged back a few drinks, his tongue a little loose. His eyes rested on a boy who waltzed in the door. L's eyes instantly searched every part of him he couldn't help but keep his eyes on him. The very sight of this boy intrigued him, he had to meet him. At a pathetic attempt to stumble over to this teen he was unaware of the other people around him and the fact that they of course have feet to trip over.

Light walked into the night crawler unaware of his successor sitting at the bar. He couldn't help but feel he was being watched however shrugged it off, he was used to being watched by now. He heard a sudden noise and saw in a blur someone flopping over towards him like a koi fish out of water. In an instant the man tripped and almost hit the ground. Out of instinct Light put his arms out in a desperate attempt to save the man from his cold grey doom. This action, of course ending in both men on the floor.

L opened his eyes slowly and there before him were the auburn orbs he wanted to see more closely, he however did not expect to be on top of him after not even learning his name. He quickly stood up and helped the rose faced teen to his feet. L looked the teen over again "sorry about that" he said with a slight slur, maybe having more then a few drinks wasn't the best idea at this time he re-thought to himself, "The name is L"

"Light…" was the teen's response
