R's POV:
I flipped open my phone in annoyance.
"What do YOU want?"
"The WBS has a job for you and your coven," replied a female voice.
"I told ya'll where you could shove your damn missions," I growled in reply.
"We require your talents. None of the other covens have such strong and diverse abilities as you three do together."
"And, by that, you mean they want my eyes again. Look, this has been fun and all, but I'm pretty busy right now. I think we're done here."
I went to shut my flip phone, but before I could, I heard something that made me pause. It was something I wasn't used to hearing from a witch, ever. She let out a plea of pure desperation.
"Wait, wait! It's about L!"
I brought the device back to my ear slowly. I heard the panting breaths on the other end of the line. For a moment, neither of us spoke as I imagined how this woman must look. She probably had wild hair from pulling at it stressfully, wide eyes from the prospect of losing my interest, and a hand with white knuckles resulted from gripping onto the landline too tightly.
"L, as in, L the dead detective?"
"Y-yes," she said eagerly. "That's him!"
"What about him?"
"Th-the High Coven of WBS wish to bring him back, but.."
"That goes against their rules," I finished.
"Yeah, but a ti-,"
"DON'T EVEN say it. I get where this is going now, and I'm NOT happy about it. Plus, I can't make this decision without consulting my coven. You should know that just as well as the HC."
"We know that, and that's okay! They didn't expect you to agree straight away. Take your time! Everyone knows your coven has plenty of that."
I heard the smile in her tone which made me smile too. The Pack Coven had the three best specialists. Silvia had foresight, Axel had an affinity with time spells, and I had Seer's Eyes. When the three of us combined ourselves into a coven, we became the strongest and closest coven there was. We used to work for the WBS, as most witches often did, but I was offered a place in the High Coven. This meant abandoning Sil and Ax, and being replaced by one of the HC members. I couldn't just leave them like that, so I declined and we ran off to live on our own.
"What exactly is this mission? What would we have to do?"
"You'd travel back to 2003 and aid in the Japanese Task Force and Kira investigation, prevent L's death, reveal Light Yagami and Misa Amane as Kiras 1 and 2, and end the case with as few casualties as possible."
"But that could change the present! Why would the High Coven pull such a reckless stunt?"
"They said it's worth the risk. Call this number back tomorrow and give us your answer."
With that, she hung up.

I know this is my 3rd Death Note fanfic, but that's only because I got to thinking and daydreaming again, and this idea came out of it.
If you guys want a pairing, then let me know.
The WBS stands for Witches Benefitting Society. The High Coven runs this program. They make the rules and 'laws' every coven has to follow. The Pack Coven separated from them over two years ago. They're more of the free-spirited types. Wolves are their familiars for obvious reasons.
Hope you enjoy! Now, onwards to the debating!
