A/N: Hi! This is my first fanfic :D It's about Death Note, but contains a crazy mixture from of ideas from Howl's Moving Castle and Lost in Translation. I hope you like it! :D

It's about an original character, Agnes, who will end up with L somehow ^^. She's visiting Japan with her two friends and... I won't tell you the rest yet! Agnes is a girl who is fed up with school now and after a lot of planning and saving money she went to Japan, to make it up for all the unhapinness she has had at school and in her life.

Rewiews? :D I really hope you like it! :)

Thoughts are italicized.


[ Woman On P.A.]

Welcome to Narita International Airport. Welcome.

In a world where death gods, deadly notebooks and a newly popular serial killer called Kira existed, three friends arrived at Japan. It was a nice summer morning. They were walking towards the exit, carrying their baggage. Agnes was glad they had already arrived, 12 hours on the plane was an awful lot of time but still, she was thrilled. She glanced sideways to her left. Alan, her friend's brother, was reading a travel guide, he had a confused look on his face. She looked the other way. Her friend Kitty was texting someone, she seemed completely absorbed by the phone.

Kitty came to a halt. "Let's go to the ladies room first"

"Oh ok" said Agnes. She turned to Alan, who put down his guide and started to follow them. "Please wait for us here, will you?" She smiled. She followed her friend through the airport and they managed to find a bathroom. It was big and nice. Surprisingly, they were the only women in there. They approached the mirror. Kitty left her purse beside one of the basins. She grabbed a comb from her big new Louis Vuitton suitcase and started to fix her light brown hair.

Agnes stared at her reflection intently. I can't believe I'm already here. I've been dreaming for this day for a long time! And thank God I'm finally away from all those people! Even if it's just for a couple of weeks… She started fixing her long dark chocolate hair. She combed her fringe sideways with her fingers.

"You know, I'm very glad we joined you" Kitty said while taking a strand of hair and holding it with a bobby pin. "I'm in mood visiting exotic places, expanding my cultural awareness… you know"

Agnes snorted. "Yeah, right! You were bored out of your mind! But still I'm very glad you came. I wasn't scared to come on my own but I feel way more comfortable with you. I planned on staying here for only two weeks. I guess we can pay now for another two weeks at a fancy hotel… Or a hostel as a last resource"

Kitty smiled to her reflection. "I begged Alan to come with us. If anything goes wrong, he has a friend who's been living here for a year. We can stay at his place as a last resource."

Agnes stared at Kitty's reflection. Alan. Oh god I hope he doesn't cause me trouble again. Last time I thought Kitty would stop talking to me forever because of him. I don't flirt with him, he's the one who makes up stories in his head just because I'm nice to him. But still, she's just being a normal, jealous sister…

"Sure, that's great!" Agnes replied. "Aww, I love you!" She threw herself to Kitty. "Aww, love you too!" They hugged. "Come on now, let's go find Alan! He's such an idiot he's probably lost already" Kitty said, and the girls went out to fetch him. He was waiting outside the bathroom, his arms folded. He took out the guide.

"We better get going now… We're in Narita" He pointed in the map. "It's like a hundred miles from our hotel in Shinjuku" He looked at their faces. "Ha! Well not that far. Anyway, let's catch the limousine bus, I read it's the best way to get there." They nodded.

He turned to Agnes. "Let me help you with that" he said to her, grabbing one of her 2 suitcases. She looked nervously at him, who just threw her a cheeky smile. Oh god no, please not in this trip. I don't have a crush on you, why can't you understand it? Agnes thought irritated.

"Nah, don't worry I can carry them!" She snatched the suitcase from him. She glanced at Kitty, in whose face was a very subtle look of disapproval.

Damn.

They finally found the exit and boarded the bus.


L was sitting on the couch the usual way, nibbling his thumb. His eyes were fixed upon the screen in front of him. The guy on the screen, Light Yagami, had just left his room, he was leaving for school. His father the Chief, Soichiro Yagami, stood up, his face stern, and slowly walked away to join the other Task Force members, who were in the living room.

Watari came into the room. He handed L a cup of coffee. "Thank you Watari" said L. Watari smiled, turned around and left the room.

L stretched out his hand to reach the sugar cubes of the cup on the table. He took 5 of them and added them to his coffee. He swirled his cup and looked again at the screen on the front, which was a view of Light's bed. Days before, L had ordered Watari to install cameras and microphones in the Senator Kitamura's house and the Chief's. This was the first day of surveillance.

L looked into his cup. He took a sip of coffee and then stared blankly at the screen. Light Yagami…
