Authors Notes: Soooo... This is my first fanfiction ^^' I'm reallllyyyy nervous *sweat drop* Please comment on it, constructive criticism is welcome. Just don't be too harsh :3 I will write another chapter if this one is well liked :D

Chapter One

The fear of death isn't a problem for me. Its the thought of fear itself. Of a black mass of darkness full of old memories, of past dread, of secrets and regrets. That's the only fear I have. I put my life on the line to solve the Kira Case. I've done things I've never imagined doing, and yet... I'll always be a lonely detective. My only friend, Light Yagami, is suspected of being Kira. No.. he is Kira. I know it, and I'm never wrong.

"Watari, please bring up more cake." I spoke into one of my many cell phones, a mouth full of the last strawberry to my strawberry shortcake. Everyone else remaining on the task force was asleep, everyone but me. I can't tell if its from insomnia or my obsession with sugar, but whatever it is, it sure does help when I'm looking for clues and leads late into the night. The smell hit first, then the sound of soft footsteps. 'Mmm.. strawberries,' I thought as the large pink and red cake was placed in front of me, already cut into slices. "Thank you, Watari." I murmured, digging a fork into a slice of the cake, the aroma getting stronger as a fairly large piece got closer to my face.

"Ryuzaki, I got a call from Roger." Watari said looking down at me. I placed my hands on my knees and looked at him, my toes digging into the rather uncomfortable office chair. "He is sending Near to observe you."

"Observe?" I said quietly to myself. I lowered my vision back to the cake in front of me. 'I wonder why.. Near.. He's a smart kid.' My brain raced, trying to find a decent explanation. I stuffed another oversized piece of cake into my mouth, licking the icing off of my lips. "Mm.. Thanks Watari. Please prepare a room for him." I said through mushed cake. Watari nodded and bowed walking off without saying another word. My thumbnail automatically found its way into my mouth after I swallowed. "Near's going to observe me..." He repeated the phrase a few times, thinking. "Well.. He is going to become my successor." I finally came to the conclusion that he just wants to know how the L acts, so when I'm gone, there is no suspection of L changing. "Very smart move, Near." I said with another mouthful of cake.
