This is a LxRaito fanfic, do not flame. Rated M for later chapters. This is my first fanfic, sorry if it isn't the best, or the longest, friendly corrections or criticism is okay. Please review! And no, I did not create death note, or the characters, I had NOTHING to do with its making (I really do wish I did though.)

Chapter 1:The Beginning:

Raitos POV:

Blackness, that was all I could see, seas and oceans of it flowing over my vision. But why? Why was he there?! Why did I have to see HIM as I died? Why not Sayu or dad or mom… Why? Was his spirit there to mock me? 'Ha Kira, you have finally fallen!' Is that what you wanted to say to me!? Call me a fool, a loser? But you stood there in silence, maybe I was seeing things, but why, why couldn't you say anything?! Your silence is more deadly then your words, the silence I know oh-so well as you sat in your strange way, trying so desperately to catch me, to kill me in the past. Well goodbye world, Kira also known as Raito Yagami; has finally fallen.

Drip. My mind came out of its strange blur as my heavy eyelids opened. The sky was dark as rain leaked threw the trees overhead, and onto my own, achy body. Wait, sky?! Rain?! BODY?! I sat up quickly, letting out a small groan from the pain that shook threw my whole body. That's right, I got shot, by… oh what was his name… oh yea, Matsuda. My minds memory had so many blanks, except for the part with you in them, why?! I hate you! Your strange eating habits, the blank look in your eyes as you scanned the bright computer screen. Your emotionless face. Rage started to build up, until I felt it, the strange feeling of eyes against my hurting back. My head turned quickly, the pain going threw my body worsening.

But nothing was there, nothing. I stood, but only for a mere second as I felt my legs go out, and the darkness cover me in its clutches once more.

When I awoke, the rain was coming down more fiercely. I squinted my eyes, trying to look into the same, dark sky that was there before. There is was again, the feeling Why was it there? Was I crazy? Well I doubt it matters much if I'm crazy anymore, I'm alone. Right? I let out a small sigh and choose to continue to lay down, it spared me the pain that was caused by my movements. I closed my eyes to think, 'Why am I here? If I'm dead then why do I feel this pain, since I got caught, if I was alive I wouldn't be here. Maybe someone hid me or… No that's not it.'

An exhausted sigh escaped my lips as I reopened my eyes, and scanned the forest, I felt my stomach growl as I looked to the trees and saw the thing I'd been looking for. Fruit! I stood, slowly so I wouldn't cause myself to much pain and frowned, the fruit was way to high up.

I could feel my soft, auburn strands move with the wind as I started to climb, which was quite a foolish thing to do on my part. I grabbed a few fruit, those of which I have never seen or heard of and climbed safely back down, which I truly found shocking. My back rested against the bark of the tree as I let out another exhausted sigh and started to eat, slightly messy hair falling in front of my eyes. Once I was finish with the strange, round, large purple colored fruit I let my head rest against the tree, small pants escaping my throat as I helplessly tried to catch my breath, both from the climb, and my quick eating.

I felt my body slowly starting to relax out some of the pain, the noises coming from the rain hitting the dirt and grass, as my body calmly drifted off into sleep.

It was a dream that took over my senses next, you were with me, sitting there in your normal way, watching me sleep. You brush some of the auburn, beautiful, silky hair out of my face, a strange, sad look covering your normally emotionless face. Your lips seemed to get closer and closer to my own, the soft rain making your own hair seem to stick to the sides of your own face. You stop less then an inch away from my face, lips dangerously close to mine as you, L mumble softly, 'sleep.'

My eyes shot open, I was sitting up now as I looked to the sky. The rain was now only a light drizzle, the sky was almost pitch black, only a few small stars leaked threw the gray clouds over head, and the moon was out of sight, only a small glow shown behind a cloud above me. I was shivering, if I wasn't already dead, I would have probably frozen to death. I glanced around, my vision blurry as I stood to my feet and staggered towards anything, anything that could supply me with any warmth, anything at all. And as my vision once again blurred, I felt my body fall into something warm, and with that, I fainted.

"Who are you?" Raito Yagami asked the person who was standing before him. The person, who seemed, male, yes he was defiantly a male. Kept his distance from the young man "Who are you?" Raito asked again, reaching out his hand to the male before him, he didn't know why but… he felt guilty, what did he do to this man before? Raito's hand reached for the other person, only for his hand to be ignored as the man backed away. "What's the matter, you look sad…" Raito urged the other man, just to make any type of response, anything. After getting the same response as before he grabbed the males arm, "tell me who you-!" Stopped as his eyes widened to see L, standing before him with blank eyes, tears of bright, red blood running down the other, older males cheeks. "Why Raito? Why did you… kill me?"

I awoke on the ground, the bright, almost blinding sun hitting my eyes as awoke in a cold sweat. My brown orbs squinting at the slight as I sat up, my head throbbing in pain. "How long was I asleep…?" I froze, what a horrible dream. I would never admit it but, I felt guilty. Very guilty in fact, though I ignored the feeling and glared at the ground. It was L's fault for trying to catch me that I died! It was all L's fault! If L never existed then I would still be alive…

I finally could notice how beautiful the scenery around me really was in this new light. The trees bark were a dark brown color, small bits covered in light colored moss. The leaves were a dark, beautiful green, the purple fruit also had a beautiful color, a dark purple color, like the color that a plum would have. The soil was darker then most soil because of last nights rain, and the droplets on the leafs seemed to shimmer like wonderful, glimmering diamonds. The grass was long and matched the leafs on the trees. The sky was different though, instead of a normal blue sky, the sky was blood red, though everything else was the same. I let out a shocked gasp, red? Why was it… It was then I knew for sure, I was dead.

My hair didn't seem any more messy since the last time I checked, though I showed no mind, in the corner of my eye I saw a lake, not effected from the sky, it was blank, I could see only the things above the lake, like a giant mirror. I started towards the strange lake, my eyes in awe as I looked into the waters, my normally brown eyes, a bright red, and my hair looked longer then usual. Almost to my shoulders, and my skin was quite pail, but besides that, everything was normal with my looks. I wonder, are there anymore people here? I mean it would be strange for me to be the only one. Is there a city or… Maybe a town with people in it? My head is spinning, I don't know what to do. I need to calm down, if I'm calm maybe I can find my way out or… I look to my side and see before me on a near by tree, an x? Someone must of carved it! My joy was cut short there is was again, that feeling. Why, why can't you just leave me alone, I'm trapped in my own paranoia.

L's POV:

Such a fool I was, to let you get so close Raito-kun, my foolishness is what brought me to death. Can one blame me for hating one as cruel as you? Your smirk as I slowly died off, why wasn't I angry? Why didn't I glare and shout, 'KIRA!' why was I over come in such sadness as I died. And why was I sad when I saw your own death? I never thought of you as a friend, but I'm sure you of all people should know that. I hate you for the fact not that you were Kira, yes I loved life, and hated the fact you took it away from me, but the true reason I hate you is for the fact how you caught me as I slowly slipped into death, and made me see the unnaturally cruel, cold look on your face. Before your face was always so calm, I knew every expression. When watching someone in their room for months straight, you see things most others would not. But this, this wasn't you. Or so I thought, the look on your face as I died was not you Raito Yagami. It was the face, of my own grim reaper.

After my death came I arrived here, in this odd world. Alone for so long, it can drive most people insane, but not I, no I kept my sanity the best I could. Exploring the new land surrounding me, taking notes on what happened and trying to find out more about this lands history. I studied all of the land, by making marks, I tried to mark where I was before by adding a simple large X on a tree, incase I got lost and continued walking for days I walked, trying to find a city of some sort. That is when I almost lost my mind Raito, when I found that X, the same one I carved in the past.

I will admit to you Raito-kun that I was not sane for weeks Raito-kun, to say in the least. Then I saw you, and my sanity came flooding back, you were my new subject on life. Or the closest thing to life I have left. I hate you more and more each day, why Watari, Raito-kun? If you are so wonderful, so holy then why? Why him? My rage started to boil more and more each day, oh how I wish I could have killed you myself, but I continue to only watch, see how you've changed in these past years. I'll make you go mad, wish I was there. I'll haunt you everyday, make you only get small parts of human activity. I'll make you crave and wither for my existence, no one else's, because I know I'm the only one who haunts your mind.

Now I see you, peering into the lake, I feel my feet slowly go behind you. And only slightly I go over the water, my body only slightly in view. But I see your reaction. Oh yes, I saw how you flinched. You close your eyes, and I soundlessly walk away, and leave you to be alone. So once you open your eyes I will be gone, now that I think, no I still am insane. Insane for revenge. Revenge on you, Raito Yagami.

Raitos POV:

It's dark once again, and all my mind can think about the fact is I saw you, my worst enemy, standing behind me by the lake. Am I going mad? Was It your spirit. Are you the one watching me, waiting for me to break? Well, I will not L, not to you. Never. I wont. But the thing that sickens me the most, is the happiness that went threw my body as I saw you. The feeling of me wanting to jump up and just see your whole body. Hear your witty comments, I wouldn't even mind a fight, and argument, I want to see you, because you're the only thing my mind isn't forgetting. Why? Why do you stand out so much in my mind? All these questions flooded through out my brain, all of them having to do with you L, I must truly be a cursed and helpless soul.

I hear a rustle in the bushes, it must be the wind. I close my eyes and try to drift off into sleep, trying to block out the memory of the time today, and that's when I hear it. I faint footsteps coming towards me. I pretend I'm asleep, to see what you'd do, I hate you. But I cant help but want your company. Do you blame me?! I'm all alone.

And that's when I feel it, your lips ever so slightly pressing against mine in a painfully soft and gentle kiss. I'm sure its painfully hard for you not to smack me, to try and hurt me. But two can play at this game. I can fight what I cannot see, because you are that good L you can fight without being seen, that's a talent for you, I'll play. I thought these things as my lips pressed back, as gently as you if not gentler.

And with that you back away a small chuckle escaping your throat as you let out I soft, almost silent whisper, "I hate you Raito Yagami…" with that my eyes shoot open, and all I see is the dark scenery, and feel my fingers lightly press against my soft lips. "Damn you… L."

L's POV:

Here I stand, watching you after the small bit of shock you went threw little Raito-kun. You reacted just as I thought you would, trying to fight me so soon? Ah, you wont win this little war Yagami Raito, because in the end. L always wins.

I watched you for the next few days, your quite and interesting person Raito , one of the most interesting I have ever seen. Though, as interesting as you may be, you brought down my life, and ripped it into pieces. Which is quite impressive, someone as cocky as you, bringing down L, do you have pride for such a selfish act little Raito? How many people knew the truth? I bet only her the little toy of yours, Misa. Oh how I hated Misa. She was just a pawn following you in your footsteps, I don't know who was truly in fault. But she doesn't matter now, not anymore. I have you all to myself, L is a very greedy person.

I didn't hear you come towards me, I was lost in my thoughts. And as I finally came back to my senses, it was to late. You Raito Yagami, stood before me, eyes wide in shock, and in realization. Our eyes locked, staring at each other, I'm sure your ashamed that a few days ago, our lips were locked in a gentle kiss, but you don't care do you? Your to happy to see me, do you want to hug me? Punch me? Or kiss me? I want to know what is going threw your thoughts Raito Yagami, but your thoughts, were never a easy thing to read.

End of chapter one! Whew, I worked on this all day, and it was finally time for the encounter between L and Raito! Took awhile but, oh well its worth it, oh and sorry for no yaoi, I'll probably have it in chapter 3 or 4. (sorry yaoi fans.) Anyway, stay tuned, I probably wont take long to finish the next chap!
