Author's Note: This is a Crossover fic that I've wanted to do for a long time. My friend Mady really backed me up on this fic, so I owe a big thanks to her for that. Well I'm a big fan of both Code Geass and Death Note, and I've always noticed how similar both of them are. Apparently other people noticed as well, since there are other crossover fics. But instead of just having Lelouch and Light meet-up like others, I decided to continue the story of Death Note with elements of Code Geass.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

This fanfiction is set approximately ten years after the death of Lelouch in Code Geass. So shortly after Lelouch's death, the events of Death Note began. I know that it's actually Code Geass that is set in the future, but this is a fanfiction, so don't be all picky about stuff like that.

Shortly after the death of Lelouch, Britannia lost its hold on Area 11. Japan was restored completely.

This fanfiction begins at the very end of the Death Note series.

I believe that's everything. Enjoy, and please review!

Running. Why was he even bothering with all of this running? He couldn't escape the inevitable, that being his death. For a moment, he had been on top of the world. Everything had been falling into place, just as he had planned. It didn't seem like anyone was going to stop him. But as the saying goes, what comes up must come down. His rising up had been slow and gradual. So much work had been done just to get to that state. And now he was falling down…hard and fast. And by the time he landed, he was going to be dead. So he chose to run. It was as if he was searching for some way to stay alive longer. Run into someone that would give him a second chance. Yagami Light was desperate. Just yesterday, he was standing as proud and as tall as a king. Today, he was as low and as weak as a dirty peasant. The tables have turned quite quickly.

He wasn't only running to find some way to survive. Even if he was to die here, he refused to let the others see him die. He didn't want that Near to witness his death. No, that would just satisfy him too much. And he refused to give that pleasure to Near. If he had to die, he wanted to be as far away as possible. He didn't want everyone to witness him like this. Light just had too much pride for something like that. With each step that he took, his running was beginning to get slower and slower. The pain was consuming his whole body. All of the places where he had been shot were becoming just unbearable. He almost felt tears forming in his eyes from the pain. But he fought those back. He wanted to be strong until the very end. As he was running, he saw his life flash before his eyes. All twenty-four years of his life were running through his mind at a rapid pace. Only twenty-four years old and it was already his time to die. He recalled the first conversation he had with the shinigami, Ryuk. He remembered Ryuk saying that he would be the one to write Light's name in the Death Note when it was his time to die. Light knew that the shinigami was probably writing his name at this very moment. Or he was in the preparation of doing so.

Light managed to make it to an old warehouse. If he had to die, he wanted to die alone. He didn't want anyone to find his body. He didn't want to be remembered for this pathetic death. He wanted to be remembered for all of the good he brought to Japan. After Area 11 gained its independence, the crime rates had skyrocketed, and no one had tried to stop it. But Light had tried to stop it. He tried to make a new world. He tried to be the savior of the Japanese people. He tried to be the god of this new world. He tried to be like that Zero, the one who had been Area 11's savior. He wanted to surpass Zero though. But now…it was all over. No one was going to come and be his savior. Before he knew it, he collapsed to his knees. Light couldn't go on anymore. He was just torturing himself. Part of him wanted to get up and try to walk more, in an attempt to punish himself for his demise. But he didn't have the strength to rise to his feet He was resting on a staircase, his vision becoming blurred. He wasn't even strong enough to keep his eyes open. He tried to take one last good look at his surroundings. For he knew, nothing awaited him in the afterlife. Like Ryuk had told him, no heaven or hell was waiting for him. He was destined to oblivion. Light felt his entire body falling weak. His eyes were nearly closed when he saw a figure approach him. The figure of a woman.

She had a slim, curvy body with very long hair. At first, Light mistook her for an angel. But then he remembered that no angels would be coming for him. She said some words, but his hearing was starting to fail him. The woman moved over to him and she sat beside him, holding onto his hand. Light had no idea who she was. He could only see her face a bit. Her lips were moving and with enough focus, Light was able to make out what she was saying.

"Do you want it all to end here? I can give you a special power, the power of a king. And you will be able to find the strength to continue on." The voice said in his ear. Light could barely speak, but he managed to find a few words to reply to this.

"Yes…anything. Just don't let this be the end for me…." Light's eyes closed after saying these words.

Meanwhile, a shinigami in the distance laughed at the scene that was playing in front of him. He had his Death Note in hand, as if he was preparing to write a name in it. But he was oddly amused by what was going on.

"Looks like you got lucky Light. I'll keep you alive a little longer, just because of that witch. Hopefully you'll continue to amuse me." Ryuk said aloud, letting out another chuckle.


He saw nothing but darkness. He was pretty certain that he had died back there. But then he thought about the voice of that woman. She had said that she would give him a power…a power that could save him. Light wasn't certain if that actually happened. Maybe he had gone mad right before he died, and that had all been something in his mind. But his eyes fluttered open. His vision was a bit blurred, but adjusted within the moment. He had no idea where he was. He knew that something was wrong here. If he was dead, he shouldn't be seeing things like this. He was supposed to be experiencing nothing. But…he wasn't. So that meant that he was still alive. Meaning that girl that had found him…she really did save him. Looking at his body, he saw that his wounds had been tended to and he was bandaged up. He still felt weak, but he felt like he did have the ability to survive. Light searched around the room for his savior, noticing the woman from before. He could clearly make her out now. He was a bit surprised by her, mainly her appearance. She had very long green hair, something that he never saw before. He could tell that it wasn't dyed, but natural. Being a good judge of people, Light could tell a lot about her just from her appearance. Her eyes told the most about her though. They appeared very sad and sort of tired. Not exactly tired from a lack of sleep, but sort of tired of everything. The woman finally noticed that he had awoken, so she met her gaze with his.

"How are you feeling?" She asked him. Light shrugged a bit, not really too interested in this part. He had so many questions for this mysterious woman. The last thing that he wanted to talk about was his wounds. They would heal.

"Fine…" He paused. "You're the woman that saved me just before I died, correct?" She nodded her head. Another silence passed between the two of them. "So…why did you save me anyway?" He asked her. The woman smirked lightly. "Not a very nice way to thank someone for saving your life." Light scowled a bit. He really wasn't in the mood to joke around. He never liked jokes that much to begin with. She started to organize a few things, while Light just watched her intensely. He was trying to figure out whether or not she could be trusted. Even when it came to a person that saved his life, Light still had to decide if they were worthy of his trust or not. He softened his gaze a bit when she turned to look at him again. He didn't want to give too much about himself away too quickly.

"Who are you anyway?" He asked her.

"I'm C.C." Light was slightly annoyed when she told him this. He knew that it probably wasn't her real name. He assumed it to be an alias, much like L or Kira. He thought that this was just her way of saying that she wasn't ready to give him her trust either.

"Light Yagami." He introduced himself. He was tempted to use a fake name, but something felt odd about her. She didn't seem like an ordinary girl. He was actually slightly reminded of Ryuk when he thought about something that she said. That being the power she had promised him. Light wasn't sure if this part had been reality or just a dream. That was the question he really wanted to ask her. He was trying to think of ways he could bring this question up, but not in a totally obvious way. Perhaps he could…

"Are your wounds alright?" His train of thought was completely cut off when she asked this question. He looked down at his body once again, looking at the wounds carefully.

"Yeah, they are fine. You did a pretty good job with closing these up. Are you a nurse or something?" Light asked, trying to be friendly with her. He wanted to gain her trust, so he could find out about the power she had spoken of. That is, if it had really happened.

C.C. shook her head. "No, I just know a lot about gunshots and wounds." Light was a bit confused by this. Just what was that supposed to mean? She wasn't even a nurse or a doctor, but she knew how to heal his wounds almost perfectly. It was almost as if she had experience in this department. And that wasn't normal at all. "What do you mean by that?" Light inquired. C.C. looked away from him, and Light was immediately able to detect her discomfort. She obviously did not like the topic that they were discussing.

"Nevermind…it's nothing." C.C. muttered, not looking to him anymore. Light decided to lie back down, taking a better look at his scenery. The walls seemed oddly familiar. It didn't take him long to figure out that they were in the warehouse still. Did she live here or something? Another thing about her that wasn't very normal. The silence lasted for about ten minutes. In those ten minutes, Light was planning out ways to start conversation with her about the power. He was becoming pretty obsessed with that idea. But he knew better than to just spit out any question. He knew how to handle people like a true expert. This had helped him obtain so much power with the Death Note. While Light's mind was running through all of these ways to bring up the topic, he didn't even consider that she might bring it up.

"So, do you like the power that I gave you?" She asked in that almost monotonous voice of hers. Light gasped at these words. So it had happened. But why…why did he not feel any different? He didn't feel this new power inside of him. He looked to the green-haired woman in front of him.

"Tell me…what is the power that you gave me and how do I use it?" Light said in almost a demand, completely dropping that friendly act from before. If she truly had given him a power, she was going to become his ally. Meaning that he was going to have to trust her, and use her if necessary. At the thought of using someone, he was reminded of Misa. Something told him that this girl wouldn't be nearly as willing as Misa had been. C.C. looked into his eyes before speaking to him.

"The power is inside of you. If you look for it, you'll be able to find it with ease." Light was far from pleased with this reply. She was just pissing him off now.

"I don't have time for any of that. Just tell me how to use it!" Light said loudly, almost trying to scare her. She didn't look scared or even phased at all. She just looked at him, a small sigh escaping her lips.

"Just look for it. Shut your eyes and focus." She advised. Light stubbornly did so, trying to focus. He was searching for something, anything different about him. Within a moment, he found something. Something incredible. He never felt this powerful in his whole life. Light opened his eyes, one of them being different. One of them had a Geass.
