Sorry that the chapters are kinda short but those will get longer as the story goes. Rated M for possible later chapters btw. Welp... Anyways... Here's the story.
Chapter 1. Memories
It has been nearly four years since Light has seen the famous detective, whom was called "L". He had worked on the Kira case with him for several years, but the day after he was found not guilty, L completely disappeared. Vanished. Gone forever.
He had woken up from an extremely deep sleep the morning after the final trial, only to find that the detective had disappeared from the room and the handcuffs were gone too. He got up and went into the main room to check the place out and ask L what was going on, but he soon found out that L wasn't there either. Realization quickly took over him. He ran out into the larger room of the suite and saw that everyone and everything was gone. The computers were gone, so were the empty plates and bowls that were once filled with mountains of sweets for L, the entire investigation team, and there was no sign of Misa either; The entire suite look as if it were untouched. He called out a few times to see if anyone remained in the hotel room but no one answered.
He walked around the large room and as he looked towards the door, he saw his suitcase. Why was his suit case here? Where is everyone? Why is this place so clean? Where has L gone? As he approached the luggage, he noticed there was was a note attached to the bag and he slowly picked it up. He noticed that it was Ls writing on the note and he cautiously began to read it, "Raito-Kun, now that the investigation is over, you are free to do as you please. Your parents are expecting you soon so you should go there first.; Miss Amane has returned home as well. Other matters have arisen and I had to take my leave. I'm very sorry Raito-Kun but you will never see me again. ~L".
Sadness quickly washed over him and tears began to form in his eyes. Ya, L was a usually a total ass, and he could be pretty annoying at times, but he found L to be the most interesting and enjoyable person he had ever met. L was also the only person that he had ever met that could rival his intelligence, so they got along quite well at times; especially if they were playing chess or tennis. Not only that, but he had slowly became attached to the famous detective. He couldn't really describe how he felt but he knew it was abnormal because he had never felt that way before, not even with his friends or girlfriends.
He fell to his knees and began to cry; He already missed the detective and he knew that he shouldn't but it's to late to worry about something like that. The tears seemed as if they didn't want to stop flowing, no matter what he did, but he knew that he needed to collect himself and his things and leave. He attempted to stand up and gather his things, almost falling several times in the process, and made his way to the door after putting Ls last note to him in his pocket. He slowly trudged down the hallway and to the elevator, in which he entered and exited, only to end up outside the large building. When he exited the elevator he saw a man, clad in black, waiting for him to arrive. The man walked to lights door and opened it for him, waited for Light to enter the limo, got in himself, and drove away. He assumed he knew where to go, so he didn't say anything, and sure enough, 30 minutes later, they arrived at his home; His parents awaiting his arrival with open arms.
Sadly, that's pretty much all he remembered of that day; besides going home to greet his ecstatic family. Pretty much everything had changed so much since then, but there was one thing that sadly never changed; He missed L. He missed arguing with the insane man, he missed his company and his rivalry, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember what L looked like. He remembered that he had hair as black as night and a 'slight' sweets addiction, but he couldn't remember anything else; and this fact drove him completely insane every time he thought about L.
He was currently sitting in his favorite coffee shop in all of Tokyo. He and L had come here a few times before after playing tennis in the park, and L had eaten pretty much every single sweet and dessert that they had. He also really enjoyed this place since it was very close to his college and also very close to his home. College had been a breeze for Light, and he had gotten a full scholarship to any college of his choice, so he chose the best one Japan had to offer, which just happened to be in Tokyo. Normally this coffee shop would be filled with students that were gossiping about the latest trends and singers, guys talking about sports or upcoming parties, or classes that were 'really hard', but today the shop was nearly empty; save for a few commoners and the workers. All of the college students weren't there because they were attending their graduation ceremony, which he refused to attend. Light didn't like ceremonies or large amounts of attention so he talked to the dean of the school and just got his degree early so he wouldn't have to attend the ceremony, even though the older man protested and begged him to at least give a small speech, to which he declined.
He was trying to read a crime novel but his mind was too flooded with memories to actually process what he was reading. He put down the book and decided it would be best if he checked the time, and 12:26 pm is what he saw on the ornate watch. He had been sitting in the coffee shop for a while now and he decided to take his leave for today. As he got up to throw his coffee cup away, something in the back of his mind told him to look around before he left the shop. He wasn't sure why, but he felt as if there were a something forcing him to stop and look behind him. When he did he saw a few commoners and several workers that weren't of any importance, no one to give a second thought about. But the last person that his eyes landed upon actually interested him slightly. The being was sitting awkwardly at a booth at the very front of the shop, but he wasn't sitting, it was more of a crouched position and his back was to Light. He saw that the mans hair was midnight black and it seemed very unruly and out of control, and he had several plates around him that were empty. He also noted that the man was only a few a few years older than Light, he was about 28 years old and he was very thin, but not to an unhealthy point. He felt a strange urge to talk to the odd man, as if he somehow knew him from somewhere, so he subconsciously walked over to where he was sitting. As he was walking there he began it wonder what to say, but he decided to just wing it and think of something when he got there.
"Excuse me, but could you tell me what your name is? I believe I know you somehow but I just can't place my finger on it..." before turning around the small man replied "I don't believe that's true, I'm not from here and I don't have any acquaintances that resi-", by now and small man was wide-eyed and completely facing Light, and Light was as wide-eyed as a small man was. Everything suddenly came back to him. He had known that this man was different from the start but he couldn't understand what it was, but now everything became clear. He knew this man, and this man knew him. He finally found L.
