Summary: The Life Note: A mystical object that brings any deceased person back to life if their name is written in it. What happens when Light meets the person in possession of the Light Note and learns about their goal: To bring L back to life!

(A/N) Hi! This is my 2nd time writing a fan fic, but this is my 1st Death Note story. I'm not that far into the series, but I know L dies. *sniffles* This is a random idea I had one night when I wasn't doing my homework. The main character is my original character. Please forgive me if I get anything wrong about the story. Thank you! Please Review!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Death Note. All Death Note characters belong to their creators, Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. Trust me, if I owned Death Note, L would never have died, Misa wouldn't exist, and there would be WAY more LXLight.

EDIT: Yeah, I didn't really think the rules through when I first wrote them (Forgiveness?) So, while writing a later chapter, I revised the rules. They'll make a little more sense now. :D

Prologue: The Life Note: How to Use It

The deceased whose name is written in this note shall be revived.

This note will not take effect unless the Owner is within 25 feet of the deceased.

Regardless of the cause of death, any human can be revived by this note.

Consequently, humans who have been deceased for more than one year cannot be revived.

Only the Owner of this note will be able to use it.

An Owner must specify when transferring Ownership to another human.

If this note is stolen from its Owner, the thief will not gain Ownership unless the original Owner transfers Ownership.

Pages torn from this note are useless. They will not revive humans.

Depending on the cause of death, and the amount of time the human as been deceased, revival can take as short as a few seconds, or as long as a month.

An Owner cannot be killed by a human Death Note owner.

Only a short prologue. Story actually starts next chapter ^^;

Edit: Change the rules a bit. I made them a little too long or specific, and some rules were kinda useless. Mainly, this time, I'm using them to foreshadow some things that happen later in the story. Please R&R!
