HI Guys! This is my first fanfic so any suggestions are good since I've never done this before. I didn't see any other Death Note/Code Geass crosssovers so I thought it would be a good idea. This takes place right before Light is killed and right after Lelouch gets his memories back. You'll probably wonder about the whole dimension thing but i'll explain that next chapter. I havent seen either of these series in a little while so I might have made a mistake storywise, please inform me if you notice any inconsistencies with either series, thanks for reading.

A Beneficial Friendship

"No, no no no! This, this can't be happening to me!" Light thought to himself as his mind seemed to slip. "I had been so close," he thought. "After all that work, for it to end here with Ryuk writing down my name, it can't end like this!"

Light Yagami had been so close, but at the finish line he had been found out, and now after being shot, he could only sit there on the ground and watch as Ryuk wrote his name down in his own death note with that wickedly evil smile across his face. Light's mind raced, attempting to think up a possible solution to this unforeseeable outcome, but for the first time his mind came up blank. He had nothing, this was it. All those years, all that work, all those secrets. FOR NOTHING! He was going to die here, alone and afraid, no one would ever know he was Kira. The world would go back to being crime-infested once they realized their god had abandoned them.

Then, only thirty seconds after Ryuk had written his name down, Light's vision started to go blurry, his body felt numb. What was happening? Light thought, it hadn't been long enough for the heart attack to start, and this wasn't what one should feel like either! Suddenly his body started to feel weightless and then he felt a tug on his feet. Before he could even look at his feet he was suddenly surrounded in darkness as he felt himself sucked down what felt like a very long, tight tube.

Light Yagami actually screamed, he couldn't understand, was this death? But Ryuk had just told him there was no heaven or hell, so then was he alive? Then unexpectedly the sucking feeling ended, he hit a floor, hard. Light's eyes were still closed but he could tell the darkness was receding.

He realized he hadn't been breathing and took a gasp of air, he tried to open his eyes but as soon as he did his ride in the "darkness tube" (as he would later refer to it) caught up to him and he found himself throwing up on the very floor only moments ago he had fallen.

In between gasps of breath he heard the sound of another body hitting the floor; however he paid it no mind and turned over on his back and looked up. Gazing at him with a look of amusement was a teenager dressed rather strangely. He was wearing a black cloak which covered everything but his head, though Light being so close to the ground could make out his black boots.

To the teenager's left was a girl with long green hair and a solemn look on her face, as if carved out of stone. The girl appeared to be wearing some sort of white jumpsuit; he came to the conclusion that he was being watched by two very strange cosplayers.

"Welcome Light Yagami," the boy in the cloak said. A smirk came on his face as he continued, "Or do you prefer Kira?" A frown pierced Light's handsome face as he wondered how this teenager knew who he was; though truth to be told, after his near-death experience he was a lot less surprised than the teenager had thought.

"Anyway," the teenager muttered as he continued introductions. "You can call me Zero, I apologize but I can't really trust you with my real name, not when you have a death note. And this," he pointed a gloved finger at the green-haired girl, "this is my associate, the witch C.C." The girl now identified as C.C. merely rolled her eyes.

"I have brought you and your…companion here using a friend of hers power." Wait back up, Light thought, companion? He looked to his left and lying there face-down on the ground still trying to catch her breath, was his wife Misa. He made a slight gasp and she turned to look at him.

"Light? Is that you?" A huge smile permeated her face and she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. Light noticed she was wearing a black shirt and blood-red skirt with her purse hanging around her waist and hanging out of it was….could it be? Light's eyes lit up in happiness, she had the death note sticking out of her purse!

"Misa! I'm so glad you're here," he whispered into her ear as he hugged her back. She moved her head to kiss him but since he had just thrown up he decided that wouldn't be such a good idea and merely hugged her tighter.

Zero coughed in an attempt to regain control of the conversation, it worked. Light tried to stand up to confront this person that seemed to know too much about him but merely fell back onto the floor. Whatever that darkness tube was it had completely drained him of energy.

"Stay down," C.C. commanded Light and Misa as she finally spoke. "Considering what just happened to both of you your lucky to be in one piece much less walking around." She stepped back and let Zero continue; her face once again set in stone.

"Using the powers of a different space witch we were able to pull you from your dimension into ours only moments before your death Light…" But before Zero could continue he was interrupted by a yell of surprise from Misa.

"WHAT? Light almost died?!?!?" Misa jumped back on Light and squeezed him to her in an attempt to save him from a danger she knew nothing about.

"Mi-Misa….your hurting me," Light managed to squeak out before she let go and he was able to breathe normally again. C.C. rolled her eyes at the two.

"Listen I know this all must be very confusing but could you please let me finish what I have to say," Zero said as his voice started to rise in frustration. "I have quite a lot to say and we don't have a lot of time. You need to understand now!" When no one made any attempt to question the angry teenager he continued.

"Like I started to say before, this is a different dimension than your own. Because of a certain witch I learned of your world, I learned what you did with that death note and I was most impressed. For you see I also have a gift," and Light noticed one of his eyes changed from purple to red and then returned to purple.

"This is my geass, when I use it on someone I can command them to do anything I want, but it only works once and I have to look them in the eye for it to work. In my dimension the Brittanian empire controls and oppresses a good portion of the world and I have been attempting to bring them down with my organization the "Black knights".

"Unfortunately our attempt failed, I was captured by that bastard Suzaku and dragged to the king's feet where he erased my memories. Thanks in part to C.C. here and the remainder of the Black Knights I regained my memories but I still face a considerable threat which hasn't gotten any weaker since I started, and THAT is where you come in.

"Together," Zero proclaimed, opening his cloak and making a motion with both hands revealing his purple costume underneath. "Together we'd be unstoppable, with your death note and my geass we can kill anyone who gets in our way and the world would be ours for the taking."

"There are still many details to go over, but what do you say Light?" Zero reached his outstretched hand out to Light. Light looked at the gloved hand and hesitated, anyone else's brain wouldn't have been able to take so much at once, but Light had kept up rather well. Light smirked his infamous smile and reached out and took Zero's hand into his own.
