A/N
This is an AU set two years after the arrest of Higuchi, who was presumed to be Kira at the time. Light has not gotten his memories back, and is now an up-and-coming young NPA detective well known for solving several cases both on his own and in partnership with Danuve and Eraldo Coil, a.k.a, L.
The only solid pairing in this story will be Matsuda/Sayu, although there might be any one of the following: L/Light, L/OC, Light/OC, L/Kiyomi Takada, Mikami/Kiyomi Takada, Mello/OC, Wedy a.k.a Merrie Kenwood/just about anybody, and Matt/OC. NO PAIRINGS ARE GAURANTEED EXCEPT FOR M/S.
Right. On to the story…..

Two years after the arrest of Kira
"So," the man said, his dark eyes narrow behind his square glasses. "I have to know the person's name, and their face, you say?"
Ryuk nodded. "Without both, it wont work."
"Hmm," the man mused, flipping through the pages of the notebook. "And I suppose that you do know who the old Kira was?"
Ryuk shrugged. "I knew them, both."
"Ah, yes. The second Kira. I forgot." The man straightened his glasses, his long and spotless fingers curling around the black frames. "And are they now behind bars?"
"That I cant tell you." Ryuk reached for the bowl of fruit on the man's table and selected an apple. "Why do you care, anyway?"
"The man shrugged. "Curiousity." He turned back to the notebook. "This is a gift," he murmured, stroking one of the pages. "A gift the likes of which have not been bestowed on humans in centuries."
Ryuk could barely contain his glee. So it begins again. Light had been amusing in his own time, but thanks to that meddling detective, his plan had gone awry and he was back to being a normal and boring human. Granted, he had risen quickly to a high position in the NPA and continued to work closely with all three of the world's greatest detectives, but even so, Ryuk had found Light more amusing when he was Kira. Higuchi hadn't even been all that interesting, and he was
stupid to boot, but this man….this one sent shivers down Ryuk's back. He was very human, and very frightening. He would be a very suitable toy.
"I shall use this for such good," the man murmured, his hands shaking. "I shall become the voice of reason, of light and of God. Surely that is why this has been sent to me. I shall clean the world of its filth and make it a place of such glory…."
Yes. This one would be interesting. "And how do you mean to do that?"
The man smiled, showing all his very white, even teeth.
"Kira shall return."
