Disclaimer: I don't own BLEACH or Deathnote, if I did, I'd kill off Hinamori and make sure that L doesn't die

Just to let you know, I'm gonna play around with the ages and timeline a little. This is set after L dies with Raito at around 25 but I'm keeping Ichigo and the rest at the same age they are in the normal Bleach timeline.

Chapter one: Great Teacher Yagami

" You sure about this Raito? You're really leaving Tokyo?" a shinigami asked as he lounged on a bed eating a bright red apple.

Raito continued to pack his suitcase, not even bothering to look up when he responded.

" Yeah, there's nothing left for me here."

" Shame. This is where all the fun is."

Raito didn't respond; the shinigami's opinion didn't matter, yeah he was leaving Tokyo, what of it? He didn't care anymore, this place held nothing to him. Nothing.

How can it, they've taken everything from me…

Suddenly, Ryuuku interrupted his thoughts.

" Hey Raito, Where're we going anyway?"

" Some place called Karakura Town, I got a job there as a teacher at a high school."

" Woah! So you've quit your job at the NPA?"

" Yeah, need to keep a low profile, Near and Mello have started to move in on me, can't let them get too close."

Especially after what they've done…

Ryuuku reached for another apple, a green one this time. He took a large bite out of it.

" Blech… sour," he said to himself but swallowed the rest anyway.

Raito closed his suitcase and stood up.

" Come on Ryuuku. We're leaving." Raito headed for the door of his apartment that his father had rented for him two years ago.

Father…

Raito had frozen in front of the door, his hand still on the doorknob.

" Raito? We going or not?" The shinigami behind him questioned.

His thoughts cleared, Raito pushed open the door and headed out. Behind him Ryuuku snickered.

" Not like you to space out like that."

" Shut up." There was a slight edge in Raito's voice as he said this.

Ryuuku snickered again; he could her the edge in Raito's words. It wasn't often that Raito lost his cool, and when he did it was all rather entertaining.

Even though he didn't express it in a direct way like some people did, it was always amusing for Ryuuku to watch Raito get flustered. As he hailed a taxi, Ryuuku could see into Raito's eyes. They were normally cold and piercing and void of emotion, but now, there was conflict in them, as if fire and ice had met and merged into a single entity. There was sorrow, anger, angst, regret, all sorts of emotions playing in his eyes right now and it fascinated Ryuuku to no end

Ryuuku was snapped out of his engrossment in Raito's eyes as he got inside the car. As the taxi drove off, the shinigami took off after it on his giant leathery wings.

" Karakura Town. Keh, wonder what that'll be like."

Karakura Town

Next day

7:00 am

A massive hollow loomed over the houses around it, its wide mouth opened to let out a horrible screech. The mask that engulfed its head resembled that of a waterfowl, it even had a fish-like tale and webbed feet to boot. As it opened its mouth again the horrible stench of its breath filled the air for those who could smell it.

" Hey ugly! Ever heard of a breath mint?" a voice called out.

In a black and orange blur, a figure leaped up and reached out with a gigantic sword to deliver a blow to the giant hollow's skull, effectively destroying it. As the hollow disintegrated, the shinigami landed safely on the ground, it was none other than Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Damn hollows, I'm gonna be late for school now." The shinigami representative muttered as ran to find his body.

At school

Same day

7:15 am

"OHAYOOOOOO ICHIGOOOOO!!!!" Keigo Asano screeched as he stormed through the school hallways towards Ichigo. Just as Keigo was about to crash into Ichigo, his hand shot forward, catching Keigo's face.

"Itai! How uncool of you Ichigo!" Keigo said has he rubbed his face. Ichigo took another look at Keigo and walked off.

" Baka" he muttered under his breath, unfortunately Keigo heard him.

Keigo jumped back and pointed at Ichigo with tears streaming down his eyes.

" Ichigo! How can you betray me like this! I thought we were friends!"

" Whatever. Stop saying stupid things."

" Does this mean we're still friends?" Keigo had suddenly stopped crying.

"Hn."

Keigo took this as a yes.

" Great! So Ichigo, wanna hang out after school?"

" Sorry Keigo, I'm gonna be studying."

For the second time in about five minutes, Keigo jumped back and pointed at Ichigo.

" You…you…you NERD! How could you! If you keep studying you'll be nerdier than Ishida!" Keigo squealed.

"Did someone say my name?" a cold voice came from behind Keigo. The two boys looked up to see the glasses wearing Quincy, Ishida Uryuu.

"GASP" Keigo gasped. "Crap" he said to himself and took off running towards the opposite hall. Ishida and Ichigo stared at Keigo fleeting figure for a while before looking at each other.

"Ohayo Ishida."

"Kurosaki."

The two stared at each other for a few more moments before into their classroom. Orihime and Rukia were already there and waiting for Ichigo.

" Ohayo Ichigo!" they both called as he entered.

" Oi Inoue, Rukia," Ichigo acknowledged their greeting. Orihime smiled and went to talk to Ishida. Ichigo noticed a small blush settle on the pale Quincy's face as she walked towards him.

" Where're Renji and the others?" Ichigo asked Rukia as he sat down.

" They were called back by Yamamoto-Genryusai to give a progress report, they'll be back tomorrow."

Ichigo sighed.

Finally, a quiet day.

Just then, the teacher walked in through the door, the students all scrambled to take their seats. Immediately, they could all sense something was wrong, this was definitely not Misato-sensei. It was a young man, probably only about 25 years old, he was tall and handsome with an intimidating presence.

What is this enormous reiatsu I'm feeling…

Ichigo shuddered, so much reiatsu, he hadn't felt this much since leaving soul society. Out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Rukia and Orihime. Rukia looked indifferent but her knees were shaking, Orihime's eyes had widened slightly. Ichigo looked the other way to where Ishida was sitting, his shoulders had tensed visibly and he was gripping the edge of his desk with extreme force. Chad was still recovering from injuries.

Up at the front of the room, the new teacher had finished writing his name on the board. He then turned to the class.

Could this reiatsu be coming from him?

" You may not know this yet, but your former teacher Misato Ochi has quit recently to pursue other interests." The new teacher announced.

Murmurs went through the class. The teacher cleared his throat to get their attention.

" So from today on, I will be your new teacher, my name is Raito Yagami, pleased to meet you."

(A/N: hmmm...Keigo seems a little off. Oh well, I'm not really familiar with his character. So, come on people, review!)
