Rating: I rated this story T because I wrote in that voice, and I'm still not sure what will happen later, but it's basically suitable for all ages.
Description: Read it and make up your own. ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note, or any of the characters except my own.
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."-Abraham Lincoln
I have done a lot of things in my life.
I have been to a great many of places,
And I have met a great deal of people.
They say that the people you meet in your life define who you are, but I like to think that it's also you who define who the people you meet are.
I'm a detective.
I didn't get into this profession by choice, but by the way my life unfolded. You see, I never knew who my parents were. When I was younger then I can remember, I was brought to an orphanage were I spent my entire young life. I received an advanced education, and learned many skills during my time there. It was a charming (as charming as such places get) place, there were lots of sakura trees nearby, and the building was gothic looking, the founder from a rich background. This home, my home was called Whammy's House.
It was at Whammy's House that I met many of the people I was mentioning earlier. And it was at Whammy's House that I met the one person who shaped me more than anyone else.
L.
Who would have thought that that single letter could leave such a big impact on the world? But, then again, maybe it was the fact that that was that entire people knew him as. A single letter. None even considered it to contain anything human attachments. But it did. I knew the man behind the letter, the man who was human, the man who lived and died. I met him a few years before the B cases started, more commonly known as the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. Though that was the first time I got a taste of the legacy that is L, I had nothing to do with that case. No, the first time I ever had the privilege, and honor of working with him was on the much more well known Kira cases, involving the Death Note. In fact, it was purely by chance that I got involved at all. As I told you, I didn't choose to be a detective; I was merely thrust into the profession.
I'll go back.
