Prologue

The lights shined down on Raito Yagami. He glanced over to Ryuuku whose laughter was drowned out by the music and loud audience. He had no idea where he was but he figured it had something to do with what happened the other day.

L had just finished stacking his precious sugar cubes. He made sure they were aligned perfectly. No grain would go unnoticed. Any flaw in ANYthing could be disastrous, even with sugar cubes. He lifted his wrist and almost forgot that he and Raito were chained together. It was strange how quiet Raito was. He looked over his shoulder and glanced at the 'could be Kira' and saw what he held in his hands.

Raito flipped through the pages and paid close attention to the details. Cook books were something he liked to read as a hobby of his. He also made sure to have all the cook shows broadcasted on his TV. He enjoyed reading and watching the cooking progress, probably because he had no culinary abilities. Raito was book smart and street smart but he realized he had no talent. Well, unless you consider killing people with a notebook a talent.

He set the book down and leaned back in his seat. He rubbed his temples and let a smirk rest on his face. If he couldn't kill L the easy way, aka DeathNote, then he'd learn to cook and lace his food with something other than sugar. Oh yes, he could see it now.

'Yagami-kun? You made this all for me?'

'Of course Ryuuzaki. When investigating one must have plenty of nutrients.'

'Ah, you really shouldn't have.' He dipped his spoon into the substance and scooped it up. He lifted it and brought it to his lips. He opened his mouth and shoved it in. He chewed once, twice, three times, and swallowed. 'Yagami-kun, this is fantastic. You must give me the recipe.'

'That won't be necessary. Ryuuzaki, there is something you should know about me. I am Kira.'

'Raito-kun, now I'm 99.9 percent sure that you are Kira.'

'Yes well, that doesn't matter now. You're going to die, bitch!'

'Hmm.' Then L collapsed with a smile still on his face.

'Wow Raito. You finally did it. You totally rule man!' Ryuuku said.

Ohhhh yes! That was grand. That would work, he needed it to work. L was so dense sometimes. If he suspected Raito in the first place then why would he eat something hand crafted by him? That's because L trusts him. It is a pretty low way of killing someone but who cares?

"Raito-kun?"

"Aah!"

"You seem to have been in a daze. Was that a cook book you were reading?"

"No..."

"Okay asshole, don't lie to me- I mean...I know what I saw."

He dropped his head and sighed. "You're right Ryuuzaki. I can't lie to you. It was a cook book."

"I see." And with that, he turned away.

"WELCOME TO COOKING STATION! ON TONIGHT'S EPISODE WE WILL HAVE TWO YOUTHS GO ON A COOKING SPREE! THEY WILL FACE MANY OBSTICALS ALONG THE WAY! PLEASE GIVE A WARM HAND TO RAITO YAGAMI AND-...uh...L?...L!"

Raito, despite his not wanting to be here, bowed before the audience.

"Peace, yo!" L did his famous "L-oozer" hand sign.

Raito couldn't believe what he saw. L was very peculiar and not himself. He also couldn't believe Ryuuku suffered from stage fright.

"Sorry Raito, you're on your own. I'll watch you from...uh...y'know...over there. I'm outta here!" He floated away.

"Great..." But it couldn't be that bad...could it?

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of DeathNote Z!

Bonus: This is what happens when L and I stay up too late. We decided to RP in...bed...

"So Raito-kun, one sugar or two?"

"Sugar for what?"

"Why coffee, of course."

"I don't drink coffee."

"Don't deny it, Raito-kun. I saw you drinking a cup this morning."

"That wasn't coffee."

"...What was it?"

"That was tea. No wait. It was NesQuik."

"...You're up by 3 percent."

"What?"

"So was it tea or NesQuik?"

"...It was tea."

"...So Raito-kun, one sugar or two?"
