A/N: It's way late for me right now, but I had to get this going.
Prologue: Beginning
This world is… rotten.
It had been three days since Light had wrote Lindt Taylor, the fake "L"'s name, into his Death Note. Three days since he had been called out by this unseen, unknown adversary. Three days since he had been so angry be couldn't hold his composure in front of Ryuuk.
And since then, he had been feeling very, VERY excited.
As he was walking to school, Light began to brood over the current situation.
This person..L…will surely die. Light thought in his mind. He thinks he is so smart... Well, he has no idea who he is dealing with. I, Light Yagami, God of the New World, will lay my righteous vengeance upon him. I'll play his game. I'll get close to him. And then I will find the perfect way to eliminate him. HE WILL NOT BEAT ME.
Behind him, Light could hear Ryuuk's familiar cackle. "Hehehehehe… You've been acting strangely ever since that news broadcast. I'd think you'd be more upset by this L guy." Ryuuk's menacing eyes darted over to Light. "You actually seem more interesting than normal." He paused, waiting for a response. Light smirked, knowing that someone could be listening and responded with silence. Ryuuk, not surprised, continued.
"I'm hungry. Can we get an apple before you go to school?"
Light shook his head, causing Ryuuk to grunt in frustration.
"Well, I definitely want one later, okay?!"
Again a smirk. How fun it was to watch a Shimigami squirm!
Watari entered L's chambers. It was completely dark, aside from the glow of a computer screen. He sighed, seeing his ward slouched in front of the computer, eyes on the screen with the left hand clicking a mouse and the right hand stacking sugar cubes.
"L, the Japanese police have contacted us."
L's large black eyes moved over to the sugar cubes; there were eight, no, nine stacked up in a staky foundation. Hmm…I wonder if I can stack one more?...
"Thank you Watari."
"Are you sure you want to go to Japan? You are aware of the dangers that could arise from you taking this case personally."
"Yes, I am aware." L had by now neglected his computer and held a single sugar cube ever so carefully. Just one more… "I'm afraid this case has already gotten personal. Kira murdering my stand-in should be proof of that."
Watari nodded solemnly.
"Very well then. Our plan leaves tomorrow morning at nine a.m. I do hope you will get some sleep before our trip, but knowing you that probably won't happen."
An ever so faint clack was heard as the ninth sugar cube was placed on the stack. L's eyes finally drifted toward Watari.
"I'll sleep when I'm dead." The statement was accompanied by a small, somewhat eerie smile. Watari turned on his heels and left the room to pack his and his ward's belongings, leaving L alone.
Kira…L thought in solitude. I will beat you. I've already figured out your general whereabouts, all on a hunch. You are careless. You are childish. And you will be caught. L yawned and drifted upward from the computer to a mat in the corner of the room. Rest was indeed necessary.
I…am… justice…
A/N: Short, I know. I haven't written a fanfiction in ages, so this may be rocky at first. I'm a sucker for Light/L yaoi, but L seems like the type of character that could totally be a girl. Maybe it's just me (I've been doing my hair and eye shadow to resemble L for about three days now. I think I'm obsessed…or in love with L. I hate Light! but would totally fuck him!).
