Disclaimer: I do not own death note….or L. *cries*

Note: this fanfic is for the poor fan girls who cried their eyes out for L when he died. I tried my hardest to make it in character. I hope u like it^^

In the shinigami realm

Ryuk stood before the king of the shinigami, wondering what he had done this time. After a long moment of silence, the king spoke." Ryuk, you have broken the most important rule of the shinigami." You refused to tell your human the truth about what happens to the humans who's names are written in the death note."

Ryuk rolled his eyes. He was tired of the constant lectures from the annoying ruler of the death gods. He

just wanted to eat an apple. "So, what's the problem?" Asked Ryuk. "I forgot to tell a serial killer that he's not really killing his victims. Ooh…big mistake."

The shinigami king glared at him. "You didn't forget. We shinigami live by that rule. Why didn't you tell the truth?" Ryuk was getting tired of explaining his motives. "He looked entertaining! Do you honestly believe that he would have stuck around if I said "And by the way, your not really changing the world by killing evil criminals. Your just trapping their souls in the note book."

"Ryuk, you realize what's going to happen now that your humans dead." stated the shinigami king. "Yeah, yeah. The criminals he 'killed' will be waking up. And that includes L. this ought to get interesting." said Ryuk as a wide grin spread across his face, showing his dangerously sharp teeth. Unfortunately, the shinigami king did not find this matter to be interesting at all.

"Ryuk, you are here by banished to the human world until this mess you have created is fixed."

"Screw you." Said Ryuk as he slipped through the portal leading to the human world.

In the human world

Matsuda went to go pay a visit to L's grave. It was a dreary day and the graveyard was surrounded by a blanket of fog. This didn't really help the paranoid Matsuda who had watched some sickeningly graphic horror movies the other night, and his appearance showed it.

His eyes were blood shot from having been deprived of sleep due to the nasty images of The ring or 30 days of night flashing through his mind. He was unbelievably pail. Almost as bad (probably worse) than L when he was still alive. And he jumped out of fear to every noise. To put it simply, he was the walking apocalypse.

As he reached Ls grave, he began crying. L was somewhat like a brother to him and seeing him die was just too much. All of his anger was clearly known on that one fateful day when Near had solved the Kira case. All of his sanity slowly slipped away as sickening thoughts began to cross his mind.

That the entire time, Kira was right there next to him. Killing people the entire time! Immense anger surged through him as he pulled the trigger, sending three or four bullets ripping through Raito's flesh. It was as though something was possessing him. This was something he would never so if he was sane.

Now, Raito was dead and Matsuda didn't feel even the smallest sympathy for him. Matsuda stood before Ls grave, lost in his thoughts, while in the coffin, a seemingly dead L lied.

L woke with a start, crashing his head on the lid of the coffin. he was somewhat confused.

"Hmm? What is this peculiar object that I seem to be trapped in? " wondered L as he rubbed the bump that was beginning to form on his head, when suddenly everything made sense to him.

"Ah. This must be my coffin. Stated L." Now, where did I put that knife." L searched all of his pockets.

Nothing.

After stopping to think for a little while, he ran his fingers through his raven black hair and pulled out a shining silver dagger. He began shoving it through the lid of the coffin, breaking it off piece by piece. Then, when that was finished, he began digging his way through the soil, when finally, he saw a glimpse of light and pushed his way out of his grave.

While this was all happening, Matsuda blankly stared at the grave, wondering what was going on as something seemed to be pushing through the dirt. Just before he convinced himself that it was his imagination, L burst through the ground, sending Matsuda falling backward from surprise, screaming in panic.

Ls expression was blank as he looked at Matsuda. "Why Matsuda, how nice to see you again." Said L as he stuck his thumb in his mouth. Matsuda's mouth dropped open, his eyes were widened in shock. "B-but….I….you….you were….and then….how….what…w-what the hell is going on?!" Screamed Matsuda.

"I will explain everything later. Do you happen to have anything that contains sugar?" Asked L. Matsuda reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar, timidly holding it out to L. L thanked him and quickly opened the wrapper.

As he began eating the candy bar, he noticed that Matsuda was shaking uncontrollably." Why are you frightened of me? I wouldn't harm you in any way…..though you should be concerned about Raito. Once I meet him, he shall be the one lying lifelessly in a coffin." Said L as he viciously sunk his teeth into the candy bar out of anger.

"Umm…Ryuzaki….he already is." Said Matsuda. "I beg your pardon." answered L. "Raito was killed a few weeks ago. Near caught him. You were right to have suspected him. He was Kira." stated Matsuda. L looked pleased and surprised all at once.

"Is that so?" Asked L. "And who might have killed him?"

"Umm…I did, Ryuzaki. I shot him." Answered Matsuda.

"Very well done." Said L as he continued to enjoy the chocolate bar. Suddenly, his eyes grew wide. He dropped the candy and began running through the grave yard as though he was looking for something.

"Ryuzaki?" Matsuda was confused.

"Tell me, Matsuda. Where was Mello buried?" demanded L.

"O-over there. Ryuzaki, what's going on!?" asked Matsuda.

L found a grave stone that read Miheal Keal and pressed his ear against the wet soil. After a few seconds, he pulled the dagger out of is pocket and began to use it as a shovel to quickly dig through the grave, not caring that every scoop of dirt was landing on his frightened, confused friend.

"L tell me what's going on!" Begged Matsuda.

L ignored him. "Matsuda, do you have more of those chocolate bars?" Asked L as he continued to dig.

"Yes, how come?" Asked Matsuda.

"Because Mello will most likely be hungry once we get him out of here." Said L. Matsuda's confusion quickly faded as L dug deeper. He now understood what L heard when he pressed his ear against the grave earlier.

It was Mello's screams.

Matsuda began to panic as L pushed the remaining dirt off of Mello's coffin.

"R-Ryuzaki! How is this even possible!?" Shouted Matsuda as he ran over to the coffin.

"Don't ask questions! Help me pry the lid off!" demanded an impatient L.

Matsuda helped L shove the dagger underneath the lid and tore it off of its hinges. Inside the coffin was a Pale, shivering Mello.

"L?" asked Mello in a weak, raspy whisper.

"Mello, how long have you been awake?" asked L in a firm tone.

"T-two frickin d-days." answered Mello.

"I thought so." said L as he handed the chocolate to Mello who shoved the entire thing into his mouth at once. Once he finished it, he begged for them to get him out of his coffin.

Matsuda and L grabbed his arms and gently pulled him out. "Lets go back to the task force. I'm sure Near would be pleased to see you." said L. And for once, Mello didn't scowl at the sound of Nears name. He actually seemed to be excited to see his old rival again. Together, L and Matsuda helped Mello walk to Matsuda's car.
