Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note; I do however own A death note and I wish I owned L too, but alas, I don't. =(
This is chapter 1 of the 100 chapter challenge proposed to be by my friend. I warn you, not all of the chapters are gonna be Death Note, so don't say I didn't warn you because I just did. Enjoy as much as you can! ^.^
Introduction
L is dead. Time received 12:04pm 25/11/04. Sender unknown. I heard my clipboard clatter as it hit the floor. I closed my phone and it slid out of my hands, following the clipboard. I heard my client speak but it was muffled. I turned to face him and he spoke again, I still couldn't hear him. Tears ran down my cheeks. Memories flashed before me as my expression remained one of shock and despair. All was quiet apart from Lawliet's voice repeating itself again and again in my head. Saying the same thing over and over. The last thing he ever said to me. "I promise I'll come back." He said that to me just as he was leaving for Japan in his pursuit of Kira. I trusted him, but I was afraid. And this is the reason why. "Hey!" A voice broke me out of my stupor. It was my client, probably growing tired of waiting for me to respond. I bit my lip and turned away. "What is it?" I heard him ask, "What's wrong?"
"Something bad." I wiped my eyes and turned to him. "I'm sorry." I picked up my clipboard and phone and took my pen in my hand. "Now, where were we?" I gestured for him to start again. The rest of the appointment went like the rest that we'd been having every Thursday for the past two months. Completely normal. Except that for that remainder my heart ached with hurt and hatred. Kira killed Lawliet, I'm no fool! I thought, He shall hang for this!! I told him it was too dangerous to confront Kira on live TV like that! But would he listen? Oh no! My mind shifted back to my client as I no longer wished to think about death, hatred etc.. I pressed the button on my intercom and asked my P.A. to cancel all further appointments for that day. I packed up my stuff and made my way home. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, but I had a good reason to leave. I walked into my apartment and locked the door behind me. And I cried. I cried out in pain, sorrow, anguish, hatred! Everything is blurred from my memory until about four o'clock, but I've been told since then that I was screaming out stuff like, "Kira shall die at my hands!!" etc. . But they don't know what happened. Next to no-one did. After my head cleared, I began to think hard about what could've happened.
It's not as if someone would just reveal to the world that L was dead. No. Someone's still acting as L, possibly the guy that killed him. But how could that person even be a close to convincing fake? Lawliet never told anyone anything about the Kira case, not even me. All he said was that Kira was in Japan and that was the end of it. How am I supposed to find out who killed him? How am I supposed to find out who Kira is?! As I thought, my head began to spin. Was Lawliet working alone on this case? Or did he have help? Did he tell anyone his name? No! He would never do that unless he trusted that person completely. I need info on the Kira case if I'm ever going to find out who did this. I gasped as a spark of inspiration ignited itself inside my brain. I could track the text sent to my phone and get the info off of the computer Lawliet was using to store files about his cases!
"Of course! Why didn't I think of this before?" I pulled out my necklace; the one Lawliet had given me. The blue gemstone glimmered in the low light of my apartment; this made the black K in the middle stand out even more. The small silver '3' under it sparkled in the light. I looked at the pendant as it span on the chain and danced in the eerie glow.
"I'll find out who did this to you, Lawliet. I'll find out for both of us."

Yes, it's another OCxL fic, and this will be the main storyline (interrupted by tonnes of random oneshots along the way) for the rest of the 100 chapters. If you don't like this kinda thing, just click off, don't read it again, don't flame me, don't call me weird and don't do anything stupid. Okies, rant over ^.^
