Chapter One
Raito walked threw the streets of Japan, the new safe streets HE created. Wearing a long caramel colored trench coat, hands buried within the pockets, he continued to stare off into space. He was the God of the new world just like he had wanted.
Misa was working today making sure everything was alright and that there were no criminals running around loose, or alive. The girls all looked back at him as he walked by and then giving off a giggle.
His eyes looked up and saw the store he had been looking for. It was a store that sold only sweets. His dull eyes became clouded as memories of the past detective attacked his mind.
Shaking the memories away, he walked into the store.
The moment he entered the store, his senses were overwhelmed with the sweetest smells there could ever be and he idly scrunched up his face to show his dislike. Looking around, he noticed that couples littered the store, most of them prefering to sit next to the window as they shared pies, cakes, ice cream, etc. He bit his lip and walked over to the counter where a woman with long black hair and mahogany eyes stood and smiled at him gently.
"How may I help you sir?" She asked and when she received no answer she felt her eyes sparkle in delight as she figured things out. "Is there something specific you're looking for sir?" She asked and Raito looked up and nodded.
"Do you have…chocolate covered strawberries?" He knew he could have made it himself, but the raven haired detective had always favored the ones of this store.
"Chocolate covered strawberries? Of course! How many would you like and with what chocolate?" The black haired girl asked ringing it up.
"I don't care how many. And any kind of chocolate is fine." At this the girl smiled and nodded. She went to the back and about 15 minutes later came back with fresh strawberries with now hardening chocolate in a white box with a plate in the bottom for it not to drip from the box.
"Here you go sir, that'll be four dollars please." Raito looked at the girl a bit startled. These things were never this cheap! NEVER!
"Are you sure it's that much?" he asked and she nodded. He took the box but the girl picked out a strawberry and he looked at her sternly. She twirled it around as she eyed it.
"You know what people say about chocolate covered strawberries?" She asked and Raito shook his head. "They say that the person eating it is missing something. The strawberry signifies the thing or person they lost and the chocolate, no matter how light, is what took it from them. The evil darkness, the thing they despise. They eat it to remind them of what they lost and how sweet said lost thing was, but also remind them of the pain." She said sadly almost brokenly.
Raito felt a lump form in his throat as he heard her, could this be true?
She then smiled brightly as she placed the strawberry back in the box, chocolate completely hardened. "Well, that's what my family says anyway." She replied. "These are for you right? Keep them safe; don't eat them all to fast." She smiled. "You might not live to regret it." Then, she left to the back of the store leaving Raito completely confused.
'…Well, she was strange.' Raito thought as he left the store in a better mood than when he had walked in with. He, of course, did not notice this because he still felt the stabbing pain in his heart. Raito Yagami walked back to his house, which was quite the mansion. The only people that knew he was Kira were Misa Amane, Mikami Teru, Karin Horuna, and his pet cat Shadow. You know of Misa and Teru, but I am certain you do not know of Karin Horuna. Karin Horuna is a small very intelligent girl he had adopted when he had been walking around with Misa. She was currently 13 years old, she had shoulder length straight black hair and bright green eyes, snow-white skin and a slim figure.
Once he was home he was relieved to see that Karin was out with her friends today. He sat at his table and starred at the box with the sixteen chocolate covered strawberries. For a while that is how he stayed, starring, pondering. He opened the box to take a strawberry, but then noticed something he hadn't at the store. There was a note stuck to the top of the box inside. Curious, Raito pulled it out and read it. It read;
Dear Yagami Raito:
You have just purchased our Strawberry

back in time for a certain amount of time, if you
so wish it. Be sure to use them carefully, for you

Starring disbelieving at the letter in his hands, thoughts began to attack his mind. First off, how had that woman known his name? Secondly, how did that letter get there? And lastly, was this some kind of idiotic joke?
Joke or not, as he had read he had envisioned the past and what he would have done differently. Oh how we would do anything to have L back; he would even give up being Kira, just for him. Once he had finished reading, his senses came back and anger had replaced the longing he had felt seconds ago, as well as confusion.
Before he could ponder any longer, a shadow fell upon him. Raising his head up to see what the cause of the shadow was, he met with the red eyed shinigami, Ryuk. Looking back down at the letter, he furrowed his brows together.
"Ryuk, can I ask you something?" Light asked.
"Since when are you polite to me Light?" Asked the death god curiously, eyes glimmering madly. Glaring at the shinigami, Light was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly remembered the day and bit his lip to restrain the words that would have flown out. He had promised himself that on the day of L's death he would act polite to everyone, have a bit of mercy on them.
"Please Ryuk, just answer me this. Is this real?" Light held up the letter for the Shinigami to take and read.
Ryuk took hold of the letter and read it over a few times before crackling madly. The shinigami tried to stop his insane laughter, but couldn't as he saw Light looking at him like a lost and confused child.
Angry, Light stood up and left to the living room, Ryuk following soon after, his laughter slowly dying. Light lopped down on the couch and crossed his arms, a pout making its way to his lips and a glare aimed at the shinigami.
"Sorry Light, I just never thought they would come here, let alone that you would meet them." Ryuk said.
"So it is real?" Questioned Light hopefully, his caramel eyes shining.
"It's real alright." Nodded the shinigami. "But do you want to go? Would you risk changing the future, the now?" Ryuk asked causing Light to tense up.
Could he go back? He had a daughter now, could he leave her? It wouldn't exactly be leaving would it? Wouldn't it just bring him back to this moment in time? Too many thoughts burned in his mind and he decided he needed to go out to get some fresh air. Knowing where he was going, he took the strawberries with him, but in a plastic container instead of the large white box.
Ryuk followed Light to what he recognized as a graveyard. So this is why Light's nice today, it's that detectives death date. Mused Ryuk with a slight chuckle that seemed to have jumped off of Lights eardrums for he had not turned to glare at him.
Light's breath hitched as he saw a familiar silver and white tombstone standing proudly on the green grass a few couple of feet away. Taking a deep breath, he slowly walked over to the stone, body shaking in the feeling of regret that washed through him.
"L..." Light all but whispered as he ran his trembling hand over the smooth clean stone. He remembered when L was to be buried. He had not wanted to go, he had too much work to do with the world, but his father insisted that he go, that it was his duty. Had his father known he was Kira, he was sure that he would have no father right about now. He remembered seeing L's casket, he chuckled then and now as well. The casket was made of steel, a lock on both short ends, and three locks on the long side where it could be open. That was so like L, secure even after death.
As he crouched down and stared at the stone with pondering eyes, Light found his answer. L was worth anything and everything. He would do everything to have the detective back, to see those dark black orbs filled with calculating life, to see those lips nibbling slightly on his thumb.
"I'm going." Light said confidently.
Ryuk looked at Light and grinned. "I'll come with you then." At Light's fearful look, Ryuk cackled a bit. "I can travel through time too Light. Besides, this is too interesting to miss."
At this Light shrugged, he didn't care if Ryuk would follow him the shinigami couldn't change his mind now. No, no one could.
Opening the plastic container, Light took the chocolate covered strawberry and brought it to his lips. Biting half of it, he lavished in its juicy and delicious taste; it was no wonder L had liked eating these fruity chocolate covered goods so much.
His eyes closed as a cool feeling washed through him. He felt like he was falling off a tall building, the wind speeding past him. The next time he opened his eyes he saw a familiar television and a slightly familiar man speaking. All senses returning, he knew for certain, with no mistake, that he had indeed been returned to the past.
