"Light look this way" the photographer pressed the button and a flash went off. The man in question was walking down the red carpet along with a blonde girl clinging to his arm.

A reporter stopped him, the camera man filming everything. "Please Mr. Yagami tell us. How does it feel to have won the face of Japan modelling award five years in a row and nominated once more? Do you think you are going to win?"

"Well..." Light took a brief look to the reporter's name tag "Karen, I think this year I will be neck and neck with Mikami Teru. His new movie has turned so many hearts in his favour"

"Is there resentment there?" She asked.

"No. Mikami is..." A fucking stalker! "A good opponent and he deserves to win"

"So what are you wearing today?" She asked. "I mean you look amazing"

Light took a moment to look himself over his black tux fitted him perfectly even though he wasn't muscular and buff but slim and tone so the tux clung to the right places.

"Oh. My mother made this a while back so in memory of her I wore it today. It is for good luck" Light blushed slightly.

"One more thing Mr Yagami would you like to say anything to the viewers? To encourage them to vote for you" the reporter asked.

"Well... I'd like to win... But I still love my fans even if I don't" Light smiled brightly before walking off.

The screen went black.

"Watari what is the meaning of this?" A man that sat on an office chair with his knees to his chest snapped.

"L your obsession is really unhealthy" the old man in a black suit holding a remote control in hand frowned.

"I am simply observing! I assure you that I am not attracted to Light- kun" L frowned.

"Really? Really?! L as your guardian I have to warn you that you are pursuing a broken heart" Watari stared worried that L would end up hurt.

"How would you know that" L snapped. "I am just watching. I know he wouldn't love someone like me especially when he has 'Misa fucking Amane' the chance or probability of him returning my feelings are less than one percent"

"L-" Watari tried to lighten up L's down mood.

"Stop. I am aware of how hideous I look so leave me to my desires, I deserve that at least. Don't I?" L gave Watari a sad smile before turning back to the tv. Watari switched it on.

...

"Misa Amane has just been shot!" the reporter yelled. The camera went to Light who was shaking Misa.

"Misa wake up! Misa! No! God no!" Light was crying. Medics came unto the scene "don't touch her! She is fine. Misa!" Some men pulled Light off her body that laid in a pool of blood. Medics checked her pulse.

"She's gone" the man shook his head in silence. Light looked pale.

"No!" Light pulled out of the men's grip. Covered in Misa's blood he ran black to her lifeless body. His eyes looked over to the taller building the camera followed only managing to catch a glimpse of person.

Light stood up slowly and laughed before fainting.

L was shocked. What had just happened at the awards? He frowned. "Watari?"

"I don't think you should get involved L, we only deal with international matters" Watari advised.

"But you know I am going to get involved anyway" L watched as Watari shook his head smiling.

"Right from the moment he was calling out to Misa I knew you would get involved" Watari sighed as he left to make more plans.

L didn't care if it was selfish but it was his chance to get Light Yagami. At least if he failed he'd know for certain it was never meant to be.

"Light Yagami we will soon meet"

Light woke up in a white room. He knew where he was and what was happening. He remembered everything, how Misa went limp in his hand during the final picture before he stepped into the auditorium.

He forced back the tears. Misa was like an older sister to him, she was like his angel. There through it all.

She was his partner in the orphanage. He didn't love her even if he had told her he did several times.

He stiffened.

He had to make a report to 'father' and request a new partner.

It was difficult to grasp what had just happened especially because he wasn't innocent. He was the infamous hitman Kira and had executed over 800 people but those where strangers not family.

He would get his revenge and find the bastard who had hurt her.

He had to contact father first. That was his main priority at the moment. He had to get his clothes back and get out of the hospital clothes. Specifically he needed his watch which had an inbuilt two way communicator.

Light sat up. He caught sight of Mikami who sat by the door staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" Light asked in outrage. "How long have I been out?"

"Guarding you and I'll say approximately 10 hours " Mikami replied. "Father doesn't want to lose his best toy and he thinks you were too emotionally attached to Misa. But with God on your side L has taken interest in the case and you know what that means"

"You can tell father I was just acting, I don't get emotionally attached." Light growled.

"And that's what makes you so hot Light its just sexy on you" Mikami chuckled "I have to tell you this though you have to find out about L. Everything you can. Find his perfect sexual fantasy. So we can find someone to pair him up with."

"Father's will shall be done" Light said almost robotically. It was the motto embedded into their hearts and minds from the time you enter happy saint's orphanage. Those who cannot keep up die.

"One last thing father said you are not to kill Misa's murderer, it will be taken care of by L" Mikami stood up. He smiled at Light before clicked a button on his watch. "Kiyomi Kira is awake. Tell Aiber to inform Father we are on our way back to HQ"

Light watched Mikami exit through the window. He couldn't avenge Misa. Father was testing him once more. Light never failed a test but this one... This one is quite tempting.

Flash back

15 years ago

A small Burnett with lovely honey eyes stared openly at the Happy Saint's orphanage he had been assigned to. The place was pretty and looked friendly, children playing around.

"This is where you will stay till we find you a family" Mogi Raito's father's friend smiled down at Raito. "The place looks cool"

Raito said nothing after all he hadn't spoken since his parents were killed in their home before him.

Mogi pulled the small burnett along till they were Standing in Roger's office passing by different children. The man looked from Light to Mogi. He stood up and shook Mogi's hand.

"This is Raito Yagami" Mogi stared at the man that smiled softly at Raito. "Don't worry you will be safe here, why don't you go look around as I talk to this fine sir"

Raito nodded before leaving the office. He stared at a little girl with pig tails that was running after a boy with glasses.

She had blonde hair and blue eyes and was dressed in a black lollita costume. "Stop it Mikami! Misa will tell on you!" Light chuckled slightly. He watched the girl slip and fall.

"What's wrong?" He finally spoke to a person. Something Raito hadn't done in so long because of shock but he did.

"Mikami that meanie put a tack on Misa Misa's seat and Misa sat on it" she wailed.

"Its okay. I'll get him" Raito ran after Mikami who he was still far behind until Mikami ran into another student. It slowed Mikami down enough for Raito to be close enough to tackle the boy.

End

Light stayed in the hospital bed waiting for L to make a move. In the game he had set, L was white and he was black on the chess board. Everyone knows that white plays first.

Soon enough an older man in a black suit and grey trench coat and a hat came in holding an apple laptop in his hands.

"Who are you?" Light asked. The man ignored him and continued to proceed as he liked. He set up the laptop and switched it on.

Immediately the screen showed a gothic L and from there Light knew he had won this game.

"Good day Yagami-san" the voice was mechanical.

"Who are you? Nurse!" Light pretended to panic. He did this for three reasons, one he was meant to be hysterical after the loss of his fiancee. Two he hadn't been informed formally that L was taking the case and three to see if it was pre- recorded.

"Sorry do not panic. I am L and I will be taking over the investigation of your fiancee" the voice spoke again.

Light turned his eyes to the strange man that stood beside the laptop looking at Light curiously.

"That is Watari my assistant." The voice spoke up. This made Light know that L could also see him if he noticed Light staring at Watari.

"Oh." Light tried to look very calm in a paranoid way. "I don't know who killed her. She just fell limp in my arms" Light leaned down then brought a hand to cover his face behind them he smirked.

"Did she have enemies?" L asked. Light forced the chuckle down and looked up with tear filled eyes. "No Misa was always so friendly" when she wasn't killing people. Light left that out.

"do you have anyone you may suspect would have done this?" L asked.

"No" Light forced tears out. "Misa was always so perfect" Light sniffed then straightened up. "But we had been receiving these letters threatening Misa but we never took it serious"

"Why not? You should have reported it to the police" L chastised. "Do you still have these letters?"

"Yes they are in a box in our home" Light sighed. "With the awards coming we thought maybe the public may think it was a publicity stunt"

"I see... Are you aware Miss Amane had a bounty on her head?" L asked.

"No I wasn't" Light patted himself on the back for that. He hadn't known that it was probably Father putting in clues to keep L entertained.

"I'll contact you very soon Yagami-san" Watari close the laptop and began packing up.

Things were going to get hot
