Ugh, I always turn to FanFiction when I'm bored... Which is why this story comes into my mind! I have been reading a lot of FanFictions about L recently, and I have decided to another. I guess I got inspired. Okay, here goes!

"Ah, Chou, may we speak in my office?" I hear Rodger request as we pass. I turn quickly on my heels and decide to walk with him into the calm of his office.

"Please sit." I sit in front of Rodger's grand desk, anxiously waiting for his speech. "I have been in contact with L, and he wishes for you tocome and help him in his investigations."

"WHAT?" I scream, excited as heck. L wants ME to help him? I'm sure he'd prefer Near or Mells to help him, if he needs it.

"Chou, may you sit down, you've spilt your tea..." Rodger nevously says to me in my excitement. I freeze instantly and plop back down into my seat.

"So when do I leave?"

Turbulence. I sigh, the plane trudging through the air at what seems like a snail's pace. I mean, I may be no longer so excited I could pop, but I am still anxious to meet him again. It's been 10 years since he moved away. He may not even recognise me. But, rest assured, Watari will introduce me fully.

I let the ice cream on my spoon brush my tongue, and I take in the flavour. I guess I'm not odd; I'm the most normal-looking person that came out of that house. Unless I'm in one of my phases... I get up and stroll to the bathroom, splash my clammy face with cold water and pat it dry with a towel. The mirror infront of me reflects my auburn hair perfectly. I let my fringe fall over my topaz eyes, before turning to walk from the room, wavy hair flying around as I turn.

"Can everyone please take their seats ready for landing."

The door flies open, and I feel exposed to the team standing there. They just stare at me standing there, before he speaks.

"Ah, Chou, you've arrived."

"You failed to mention that you had a team working with you, Ryuzaki."

"Ah, about that... I feared you would not come if you knew. Never mind, eh?" He swirls around on his chair to see my face. "No harm done." I smile at the smirk on his face. He is just the same as I remember him. Jet black, untamed hair; white, creased t-shirt; blue, baggy jeans; excited grey eyes. I laugh at the mountainous pile of sweets set in front of him. He examines me carefully, looking curious, before I set down my case, skip over and take one single panda cookie from the bottom. Crash, bang crack, down falls the pile. Laugher resonates from around the room, cookie already in my mouth. I wink at his disgruntled face, and skip back to my case.

"Hi! I'm Chou. Nice to meet you!"

It's not long before I'm bombarded with the usual questions.

"How do you know Ryuzaki?" Matsuda curiously enquires.

"Childhood friends." I admit. "He moved away ten years ago, so you can imagine how shocked I was when I heard from him."

"Wow! What was he like as a kid?" Misa giggles excitedly.

"Well..."

"Chou, I need you." L beckons, and I walk over.

"Nice save." I whisper into his ear. "But that won't stop me just yet. I'm sure your acts will be known before the end of the investigation. By the way, what exactly is the investigation?"

I could tell by the shocked expression on his face that he realise he had forgot to tell me. "Oh... We are trying to catch Kira. Are you familiar with him?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be? I like to keep up to date with all things like that, even if it is hundreds of miles away. After all, Japan is one of my favourite countries." I state the obvious.

"Good. Well, here is all the information I have found so far." He hands me a stack of papers. I throw them in the air, and watch them drift around.

" Pretty." I say. Yet again, he looks at me puzzled. " I don't need any information, silly! I had been looking into this case anyway. Shouldn't you know by now I don't stand by and watch, I like to get involved...?"

"Yes yes, I get it. You may go up to your room now. I took the liberty of having all your costumes transported over while you were flying, so you should find them up there. First door on the right, marked 3." He hands me a key. "I decided to put no surveilence into your room, and also put a lock on the door." I smile sweetly before dashing up the crystal staircase.

There you go! The first chapter. Most of them won't be as long as this, but it is the first chapter, so I better start things running. Please review!
