So you should get to it then, now shouldn't you but before then we should give you some warnings. Not only is L going to be a bit OOC in this fic, but there will also be yaoi, meaning boy on boy action, in future chapters… FUN!! Yup so if you have a problem with that, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
For the rest of you…. Happy Reading!!
Disclaimer: Does Mello walk around naked….. all the time, then NO WE DO NOT own Death Note.
Chapter 1:
Eyes blink open and stare at up at a ceiling, exactly as planned, was the thought as a dark-haired man sat up for the first time in a long time.
FLASHBACKNESS!!!
"What is it that you want to tell me Ryuk," a voice whispered, "I'm very busy and have no time for games, I need to catch a serial killer, remember?"
"Yes, I know," Ryuk started, "but I have I tell you Light Yagami's plan…." The man waited for the Shinigami to continue, "Light's Kira, and he's gonna kill you L, he's gonna have Rem write your name down in the Deathnote…"
"And your telling me this why," L asked, "Aren't you his Shinigami?"
"HAH, I belong to no one!" Ryuk sneered, his impossibly large smile getting wider, "I just wanted things to be more….. interesting." L narrowed his eyes, and Ryuk seemed to ponder something before continued. "I'll tell you what, if you can get me three dozen fresh apples I'll tell you how to avoid death."
L didn't trust this, or any other, Shinigami as far as he could throw their 10-feet of skeleton body, "Once again, I ask, why–"
"I've answered this question, I'm bored"
"Fine," was all L said before he pressed a button on his cell phone, "Watari, can you order three dozen apples please?"
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you need this?"
"Need to know situation I'm afraid, Watari, please hurry, I don't have much time.
"Yes," was all Watari said before sending the order to their supplier and calling L back, saying, "They will be here this evening."
Ryuk danced so giddily that it resembled a three year old getting promised a new toy.'Thank you, Watari" L replied and hung up once again, "Done. Now tell me."
"Heh,heh. I could put you to sleep…." Seeing L's raised eyebrow, "All you have to tell me is how long""Make it seem like Rem killed me, let light have his moment, wake me up when you see fit."
"And if I don't"
L shrugged, "I just don't want Kira to win, but if you don't you will never see those apples I planned to give you when I woke up," seeing Ryuk's face he knew they had a deal.
FLASHBACKDONE!!!
"So it worked…" L murmured to himself. He then heard a familiar raspy laugh.
"Do you think I would lie about something like that?" a voice fake pouted behind his right ear, "I'm hurt"
"Hn," was the reply that L gave to the apple eating Shinigami. L sat up slowly, but even then he was immediately woozy from blood rushing to his head after six years. L held his position for exactly 45 seconds then swung his unused legs over the side of the "bed" and put his legs on the floor shakily. He almost collapsed.
L took tentative steps using the railing as a crutch while Ryuk watched laughing, "Having trouble Lawliet?"
"Shut up Ryuk," I said and he replied, "Aw is that any way to treat the Shinigami who so easily saved your life and can also easily take it back and kill you"
L huffed irritably, knowing the stupid Shinigami was right. "Well, what of my boys, Matt, Mello, and Near." The look on Ryuk's face as L said their name was almost sympathetic.
"umm, see, Matt and Mello are… as you would say, umm deceased," L's face fell and for the first time in his life he looked as if he would cry. Nothing had hit this hard since he knew Watari was dead. "Light is too," Ryuk continued. L's head shot up and he looked over at Ryuk with a stunned look.
"You killed him didn't you?" Ryuk nodded slowly, chuckling, "I told him that I would, but he became Kira anyway, he was a bit loopy in the nut though."
"Yes he did seem that way towards the end didn't he?" L nodded and asked, "How long ago did Matt, Mello, and Light die"
"Mello and Matt died January 26, 2010, and Light died April 28, 2010.
"What is the date, Ryuk?" Lawliet asked. "October 31, 2010, Happy, technically, 31st Birthday, Lawliet." Ryuk replied in a raspy chuckle.
Ugh, 31 sounds so old with being 'dead' for almost six years. "Ryuk, how many apples would it take to convince you to bring Matt and Mello back to life?"
"Too many… at least 3 a day for the rest of your life" Ryuk replied.
Even Lawliet had to make a low whistle of surprise, "Deal", rung out among the two surprising Ryuk. "I would pay any price for those two, Light; on the other hand, I will wait on." Ryuk gave another raspy chuckle.
"I do as well, he got all creepy when you left" Ryuk said with a shudder.
"I imagine so." L said in an absentminded reply, he was thinking of the last time he had made contact with Matt, Mello, and Near. 1997, that was it, he had called into Whammy's to check on the top three, Roger's report was:
'Well, Near finally showed an emotion, unfortunately it was fear, Mello almost killed the boy for getting a higher grade than him, again, Matt is calming him down, it's really odd how Matt is the only one that can avoid his anger.' L chuckled slightly at this now that he knew the truth about Matt and Mello's relationship, which had unsurprisingly started when they were young.
Distantly, L heard a loud, sing-song voice chanting, "L, Lawliet, Lawli, Lawlipop!!!" L startled at the new nick name, unconsciously giving Ryuk permission to call him that, "So you respond to Lawlipop, then?" he asked laughing at his new joke.
"I suppose you will be using this name from now on, without my consent either way, so I will say yes." L drawled out lazily. It would take a while to get used to but there was no way out with this Shinigami. L sighed heavily, 'It seems like it will take a while to get back into my old mannerisms' he sighed again just because 'Maybe a change of things could be good, no, I'm too lazy, well….' L's thoughts trailed off as he realized that there was a large television in the center of the room.
L walked over to it and clicked it on, flipping through the news channel to get debriefed on whatever changed during the 6 years of sleep. Once again he heard a loud "Lawlipop!!" except right next to his ear. L startled so much that he fell very ungracefully onto the hard floor. 'This fall is vaguely familiar' L thought as he picked himself up, gracefully, mind you. L cleared his throat to inquire what the Shinigami wanted so much that he had to scream in his ear when something on the news caught his attention. "Families still mourning the deaths, here is Rachel Yu with the Yagami family". The screen popped over to a two story home with three women, two of which standing the other in a wheelchair, in front of it. The woman who L assumed was the mother of the younger was crying while the daughter in the wheelchair stared off into space with a blank, but heartbroken, look.
'Sochiro Yagami was the husband and father of Sachiko and Sayu, Light Yagami was the son and brother of the two. They both refuse to comment on either one of these men except to say they were wonderful people while they were alive.'
'Except for the fact that your son tried to kill me", L thought to himself. Then words crawled across the bottom of the screen, L strained his unused eyes to see them, the read: "7 criminals reported to have died in jail due to heart attacks in the past 3 days, the police request that the public do not panic."
L eyes got wider, but then remembered that Light Yagami was dead and that Ryuk had the only remaining Earth bound Death Note attached to his hip. Uncharacteristically, L waved of the notion of something big about to happen.
"Ryuk, I want Mello and Matt back by the end of this week or you won't be getting any apples, ever." Ryuk gasped at the threat and immediately got to work on reviving the two boys while L worked on a Mac computer to locate Near. This was going to a long week.
Yup so there it is, the first chapter of our wonderful fic, it would be awesome if you would review, constructive criticism is welcome but flames will be laughed at… so you do that 'kay! Adios!
