Identity Crisis

Summary: When two certain teen detectives have to share the same room, it's clear that some secrets are going to be discovered… but the question is who's alibi will be broken first? Because for whoever's found out first, it doesn't take a detective to figure out what happens next. Deathnote X Case Closed/Detective Conan

Chapter 1: Encounter

Authors Note: Yes! I am back to writing fanfictions! I don't know if I'll finish Alchemy 101 though… my joy of Yugioh GX ended the second the whole society of light thing began. However, I have a new passion! Deathnote! Forgive me for using the English names for the Case Closed characters… I really tried using Japanese names, but due to no longer being able to download Case Closed episodes from Youtube, I am cursed to forever use the American names for that anime. If you really want me to try and get used to it, I might give it a shot… Oh, and this takes place before Light joins the investigation team, and before he gets into college.

Disclaimer: Don't own Death note, don't own Case Closed/ detective Conan… Wait, then what do I own?

The rain coming down from the sky splattered upon the ground. There was no one around. The rain was so intense, that no one wanted to be outside in this weather. Then a cab pulled up to a house, and three people came out holding an umbrella. Tallest was a man in his late 30's. He seemed rather annoyed. Whether it was the car trip or just boredom, he wasn't really in a good mood. Maybe it was the fact that because of some Kira person going around killing off the criminals, the people were too scared to commit any crimes, and for a detective like Richard Moore, no crimes meant no business. Next to him was a 17 year old high school girl, his daughter, Rachel Moore. She however was smiling. She enjoyed the car trip seeing as she got a good view from the window and was interested in seeing this new town. The third person was what appeared as an 8 year old elementary school boy. But looks were deceiving. In reality, this boy was the high school detective Jimmy Kudo, shrunk down to the size of a kid thanks to a certain mysterious poison. Due to the circumstances, he had to completely change his identity and fall under the alias as Conan Edogawa.

"I don't even know why we have to come here. He's just an old friend. I barely even remember him…" Detective Richard Moore said walking toward the front door.

"It's not like you had anything else do today…" Rachel said smiling. "Besides, Soichiro Yagami said he really wanted to see you again."

Conan wasn't really looking forward to this much. It's not like there was anything fun to do around this place. Rachel said that there was going to be some other girl there to play with, but he didn't care much. If she was anything like the kids he was used to, it only be annoying

Light Yagami had the TV in his room turned on. To his right he was studying for his collage exam… while writing names is his deathnote.

Ryuuku was standing over Light watching him write every word. Light was often boring when he was only writing names. There was nothing to do… why couldn't something interesting happen? His gaze shifted to outside the window "Light… it looks like there are some people coming. Another one of your girlfriends and her family?" He asked noticing the high school girl and chuckling.

Light gave him a confused look. He wasn't expecting anyone today. He looked for himself and saw the trio walking up to the door of his house. He walled toward his door to go downstairs. If anyone asked why, he'd just get a snack or something, but Sayu was already coming up to see him.

"Nii-san! They're here!" Sayu said smiling up at her brother.

"Who's here?" Light asked confused.

Sayu gave him a confused look. "You mean mom didn't tell you? Dad invited an old friend and his family over!"

Light then just remembered. He'd been so focused in school and deathnote he didn't pay much attention to it. He knew that some people were coming over, but he didn't know exactly when it was going to be. Though he thought he might as well check it out. Himself and Sayu walked down the stairs to see their father already greeting the guests.

"Thank you for coming Richard. It's good to see you again." Soichiro Yagami, Light's father said shaking the detective's hand.

"Yeah, whatever…" Richard said taking his hand. He barely remembered Yagami in the first place.

Sayu looked at Richard with a confused face. "Haven't I seen you somewhere?" She asked scratching her head.

'Uh oh…' Conan thought. Usually when someone said "Haven't I seen you somewhere?" was right before-

"Why yes! I'm the great detective Richard Moore!" Richard shouted out proud of himself. He had the usual smug look on his face

-Richard revealed himself for the big show off that he was.

Light however just understood what was going on. His dad wasn't the kind to invite old friends over out of the blue. He was 100% certain that Yagami was going to end up recruiting 'the great detective Richard Moore' to help on the Kira case. While he didn't think Richard appeared to be a threat, he knew he must be good if even Sayu knew who he was. Well he could bring it on. Kira wasn't going to let anyone get in his way. If anything, he already knew Richard's name so it should be very easy to handle this.

"Richard, why don't we talk in private. I'm sure you have many memories to share as well." Yagami said leading Richard to his room.

"Why not? Not like my daughter is going to get off my back until I do." Richard said following Yagami.

"Hello, I'm Rachel." She said introducing herself to Yagami's son. She had to admit, he looked like he could give Jimmy a run for his money.

Light put on a friendly face as he usually did with the girls. "Hello, I'm Light. Pleased to meet you."

'What's he doing warming up to Rachel like that?! He's way too old for her… ok, sure it's just by a few years, but it still not right!' Conan thought. "And I'm Conan!" Conan said butting in between Light and Rachel.

"And is this your little brother?" Light asked looking down at Conan.

"Kind of… we're looking after him for a while." Rachel answered.

"Cute kid." Light said patting Conan on the head.

Conan didn't really like this too much. He hated being treated like a kid, even though he kind of was one.

Yagami and Richard came out of the room with an agreement. "I have an announcement. Richard Moore and his family will be staying here for a few days."

Richard nodded. He only agreed to this due to the fact that Yagami wanted him to help him with this Kira case. Because of Kira, he was losing his customers… not only that, but if he caught Kira, he wouldn't just be famous. He'd be like some national hero!

"What for?" Conan asked looking up at Yagami.

"None of your business kid. You get a few days off from school, so it doesn't matter much." Richard stated having been sworn to secrecy about this. Apparently, Yagami didn't want anyone knowing he was on the case just yet.

"Just to let two old friends re-live some memories." Yagami said trying to make it seem normal. He actually only knew Richard from his middle school years. Normally, people wouldn't have this good of a memory, but when you learn someone is famous, your memory just happens to come back to you. "However, I'm afraid I can't provide you with a hotel, so my home is your home."

"So where are they sleeping?" Light couldn't help wondering.

"Well, I suppose Richard could sleep here on the couch… and Sayu has already agreed to share her room with Rachel… you'll be alright sharing a room with Conan, won't you?"

Light didn't like this at all. How was he supposed to continue with the deathnote when there was a little kid hanging out in his room! Sure, he was just a kid, but if he even touched a page from the deathnote, that kid would be able to see Ryuuku too, and that defiantly would end up in disaster.

"I can't have a little kid hanging out in my room… he'll interrupt my studies." Light stated.

"Oh Conan is very well behaved, aren't you Conan?" Rachel said smiling at Conan.

"Of course! I'll be extra quiet!" Conan shouted. Anything to keep this Light kid away from Rachel

Light tried to think of some excuse he didn't want some little kid in his room. Quiet or not.

"Don't worry Light, it won't be for long." Yagami assured him.

"Besides, I think Conan needs an older brother figure to look up to." Rachel said smiling.

'Kind of hard not to do when everyone's taller then me.' Conan thought. He looked up at Light.

That's when the eyes of the two hidden masterminds met. They didn't know why, but for some reason, they each got a message just from that first look. 'He's not who everyone thinks he is.'
