Ok… so, unfortunately, I'm still alive, everyone...

And here I am with my new fic, "Anything Goes at Wammy's House." (if the title sucks I'm sorry, but my brain died due to the SBA exams I had to take, and I still love Ranma..)

Anyways, this will be an AU Death Note story, and it will have Yaoi, Yuri, and Het… 'cause I'm gay like that.

Also, there will be a vast multitude of OCs in here (Mary Sues have been murdered and refurbished by yours truly), because it will be taking place (mostly) in Wammy's House. (Yes, Near, Mello and Matt will be a part of this…)

As I've said before, it's LxLight and yes, L is in fact, seme. Deal with it.

…because I'm gay, I'm going to start it off in what's supposed to be the middle of the story, and then have flashbacks and crap like that.

Why? Because I'm bored.

Disclaimer: Death Note is property of writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata. Heck, the concept of this fic doesn't even belong to me.

This is just a response to a challenge posted by videl43, who I do sincerely hope is reading this.

Now… on with the fic.

Anything Goes at Wammy's House

Watari gestured grandly after opening the antique wooden doors.

"Welcome Light Yagami," he said smiling, "to Wammy's House."

Light silently entered, his bag in tow. He marveled at the size of the place and wondered; just how many children there were in there?

"Come," said Watari as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "Roger would be delighted to meet you."

Just who this Roger was, Light didn't know nor did he care for that matter. He merely nodded and walked as quietly as he could behind Watari.

Watari wordlessly led him through various rooms and corridors. Occasionally, Light would see other people, children mostly, besides themselves in the various hallways; and each one politely greeted Watari in acknowledgement.

"This way Light," he finally spoke before entering a small office-like room in the far end of a deserted hallway.

Watari entered and Light followed close behind. A middle-aged man dressed neatly in a dark suit rose from his desk to greet them.

"Watari... long time no see, sir," he said as he shook hands with said man.

"Oh come now," scoffed Watari, "I've told you a thousand times Roger, not to call me 'sir.'"

"Oh quite right... do forgive me old friend," said Roger apologetically. "Well now… who's this young man?" he asked, his attention shifting to the young boy behind Watari.

"Ah yes," Watari smiled and stepped out of the way, gently pushing Light in front of him.

"Roger I'd like you to meet Light Yagami. He formerly resided in Japan, and will now be living here. Light, this is Roger, the person charge at Wammy's House."

"Very nice to meet you, Light," said Roger as he shook Light's hand.

"Likewise, sir," Light replied timidly. Despite the reassuring smiles Roger and Watari have been giving him, nothing seemed to help ease his nerves.

Watari seemed to sense this for he gently placed a hand on Light's shoulder. "Now, now Light, no need to be nervous," he said, his smile widening. "This will be your home from now on… it would be best if you made yourself comfortable."

Roger nodded. "Quite right. And by the way Watari," he said glancing at his friend. "Has he chosen his name yet?"

Light looked from Watari to Roger. "Name, sir?"

Watari nodded. "A name, Light. Everyone here uses a different name. It is rare in this House to see someone use their given one… it is for the best. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier; Light, but you must now select your new name."

"My… new name…?" he asked again.

"You will be addressed by it from now on."

Light bit his lip. He was totally unprepared for such a thing. He never needed a new name before, and he wondered why he did now.

"Why-?"

"It is for security reasons, Light," replied Roger seriously.

Security reasons? Why on earth would an orphanage feel the need to go to such lengths? But Light shook these thoughts from his head and focused instead on finding a suitable name for himself.

Several potential aliases ran through his mind. Dark… Akira… Akiho… Tsuki… Moon…

Moon? He thought laughing. His name was written as "tsuki" (thus causing many to address him as that)… And moon was the English translation for it… But then again, he wasn't particularly fond of the idea that he would be referred to as a satellite.

Moon... Luna? No, that's a girl's name… then…

"I've decided," he said suddenly.

"My my, that was fast," said Roger smiling again. "Watari was not mistaken, inviting you to reside here at Wammy's."

Light, not knowing how to respond to this, nodded and took a deep breath. This was going to be his name from now on, and he had to be confident when introducing himself yet again.

"Now then, let's hear it," said Watari. Or rather, Wammy. Thought Light smiling. He did say everyone here used another name. He was smart enough to figure it out.

"My name is… Luno," he said bowing. Nice to meet you, sirs."

"Yes, well, we have to make sure Luno is comfortable, now don't we?" said Roger smiling kindly down at the boy.

"Indeed. Excellent choice, if I do say so myself…" Watari nodded. "Where is Sin?" he asked turning to Roger.

"Right here sir," said a voice as the doors swung open.

"Ah Sin… your timing is impeccable, as always," said Roger as he nodded in acknowledgment to the newcomer.

"You give me too much credit Roger," said the young woman, smiling. "Watari… welcome back. It has been a while since your last visit."

"Indeed it has," he agreed. "Wonderful to see you again Sin."

She bowed her head in respect. "As with you, Watari." She looked up and glanced at Light. "Ah, this I presume, is a new addition to our home?"

"Right you are Sin. And I'd like you to be in charge of young master Luno. Show him around, introduce him to the others, show him the ropes... you know what to do," said Watari.

"I would be honored," she said giving another small bow. Sin smiled and extended her hand.

"A pleasure to meet you, Luno."

Light stared at her for a moment, intimidated by her formality and maturity, that young woman in her well ironed, bleached short-sleeved blouse, black jumper skirt, knee high socks and black leather shoes, her dark brown hair in a tight bun. She seemed to be caught between adulthood and adolescence, as reflected by her clothing. He nodded yet again and shook her hand. "The pleasure is all mine ma'am," he mumbled.

"Ma'am?" she laughed as he let go. "Please… just call me Sin. I insist," she said giving him another smile and a tiny wink.

"Ok then… Sin."

Before anything else was said, another knock was heard on the door.

"Come in."

The double doors swung open yet again, revealing a rather tall, dark green-haired youth. Said youth carried a large black leather book and a white envelope in one hand; while the other hand prevented round, silver-rimmed glasses from slipping. Bowing briefly, the newcomer handed Roger a white envelope.

"Ah... I've been expecting this. Thank you, Rider," said Roger as he took the envelope. He placed a hand on Rider's shoulder and gave him a small pat in thanks. Rider nodded and said nothing.

Light followed Rider with his eyes until he finally exited the room. He was dressed rather plainly, a navy blue vest over his dark gray sweater and black pants. Light wondered briefly if he was one of the orphans or a mere errand boy.

A/N: Was that confusing for anyone…? Tell me if it was through review or PM me, if for some odd reason you feel like it… and just to clarify, it will be in flashback form, so it'll start when Light (or should I say Luno? I like that name so shut up. Don't make me use my moon powers on you;;;) is already in Wammy's House… you'll probably find out how he got there when some random filler character (there are a lot of them…) asks him.

And the OCs… are only there to bring crack moments and filler chapters… the only real major roles they will play will only appear when it comes to matchmaking L and Light (Luno) or when… yea. I'm gonna end it here to keep you in suspense(?).

Excuse Light's new name… I have this strange fetish for moons and all…

Special thanks to pretense for editing my fic for me.

Comments and suggestions are very much welcome…

Now, go on and review. You know you want to… ;)

Thanks for reading…
