Prologue: How it happened

It was a cold day. Snow was falling outside and it seemed that everything out there was covered in a blanket of frost. A lonesome raven haired detective sat nearby the window and sipped a little from his mug of tea. With the Kira case solved, L wasn't too thrilled about many of the investigations he had to do anymore, as none of them came close to the excitement of the Kira case. Higuchi was found as Kira and that was it. The case had been solved.

L was indeed surprised with the outcome of the case. Not because it was Higuchi (he and the task force had seen right through that). He was mainly surprised that it had ended so abruptly. In his head he was sure that Kira had been Light Yagami. He sighed and made a vow from that day forward to forget about that theory. Light and he had become quite close friends now. It would be wrong to be so distrusting. Being cautious was a completely different thing though.

L shook his head.

"We interrupt your Tv program for a news flash! Reports show of a deadly serial killer known as the 'scarlet shinigami' attacking innocent civilians all over Japan. Two murders have been discovered in Nagasaki four days ago and another pair of vicious murders happened two days ago in Okinawa. An insignia of the initials S.S have been sighted on various parts of the victim's bodies. We ask you to be extremely cautious when out at night. If you have any information please report to the authorities. End of special announcement. We will now return you to 'Sweet sugar cooking'. Enjoy your day."

L looked up from his crouched position at the television, now showing a various array of desserts. L's curiosity had been aroused. He then asked himself. If this case was so huge-why wasn't he notified of it? He frowned. Maybe they were waiting for a bigger case for him (he was the world's first, second and third best detective ever, after all). After dropping the ninth sugar cube into his tea, he got up and reached for the phone. He delicately picked up the cell phone and hit the speed dial for Watari's number.

"Ryuuzaki…? How may I be of assistance to you?"

"Make it possible for me to join the S.S investigation"

"There is no need for that, Ryuuzaki."

L paused. "Why is that?"

"You are already signed in for the investigation."

"…Why am I not there?"

It seemed that Watari had cleared his throat and then continued. "We decided to give you a day off, seeing as you must be tired from all the cases you've solved lately. It was Yagami Light's Idea."

Light's idea huh….the lazily dressed detective didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted. The word 'tired' was defiantly not in his dictionary, that's for sure. L's unruly black hair, bad posture, pale skin and eye bags were proof of that. He shrugged it off and continued to Watari.

"Pick me up Watari"

"I thought as much. I will be arriving shortly."

"Thank-you."

L stared out the window once more at the pure white blanket of frost. In all his life, growing up in England, solving cases in America, Japan and all over the world-he had never once touched snow. Sure when he was outside in winter, some snowflakes may have fallen on him, but he had never touched it-no-felt it. Maybe it was because he had never had any liking for the cold. The only exception being ice cream or cold desserts, which he loved dearly and his only source of food he ever ate.

There was a knock at the door. Watari was there a distinguished aged man dressed in a black suit. Watari was not alone, though. Behind him was a handsome, young Japanese man. His perfect layered auburn hair and coffee brown eyes locked onto L's deep black eyes instantly.

"Ryuuzaki, we have a situation on our hands." He said.

"Yagami Light will be joining you Ryuuzaki. Let's head off to the site right away." Watari remarked.

"I'll fill you in on the way, Ryuuzaki" Light replied.

L was slightly peeved. Light was going to fill him up on the way. It was always him that was in control. He was meant to know everything before everyone else did. He was L! L decided to swallow his pride and agree to it. No point making things more complicated then it needed to be.

"Yes Light-kun, let's go"

They arrived at the site in Watari's classic car, in front of the Tokyo towers. There were already a police squad, on-lookers and of course the unwanted media attention.

"This could be a problem." Light said looking at L. "We can't let them see you…"

"That is Ok Light-kun. I'm sure I'll be fine." L said opening the door.

"Wait!"

L stopped and looked over at Light, who seemed to be getting an item of clothing out of his bag. L looked at him thoughtfully, as Light pulled out a hooded jacket for him.

"Ahh…to conceal my face" L said.

"Not just that." Light replied. "It's freezing out there Ryuuzaki; I don't want you to get sick."

Light had just taken in what he had just said and went pink. He threw the jacket over to L quickly.

"Thank-you" L replied.

L put his arms through the sleeves and attempted to zip the jacket, only it got stuck. Light watched L yank at the zipper and he had to admit. Seeing the world's greatest detective get frustrated at a zipper was pretty cute.

"Here let me help." Light said, prying L's fingers off the zipper and zipping it up for him properly.

When he had gotten it right he looked at L and realized their faces were merely centimeters apart. L blushed and quickly moved away. "Th-there you go." He said slightly flustered.

L put the hood up and bit his finger nail. "Thank-you again Light-kun." He added "I never knew you could be so useful in ways like these, as well."

Light was taken-back. Useful in this was also…? As in dressing him? He shook his head and passed it off, seeing it was an 'L comment' after all.

The door was opened and L and Light walked out. The media was refrained to be around the site, as order from the police. So the pair had felt a little more at ease. The police moved out of the way, and L and Light approached the body. Light flinched slightly. The body was indeed mangled quite badly. The blood had seeped into the snow, and sure enough the initials 'S.S' were carved across (what seemed like a middle aged man)'s chest.

L squatted down. He observed the body. This criminal was good….no traces if evidence had been left behind. L frowned. Over 15-20 minutes the temperature decreased. Light was shivering, it was getting dark. The other officers had left and only Light and L were at the scene. 

L's eyes had widened, there seemed to be…bite marks in the victims neck! L saw a piece of paper underneath the victim's shoe. L's mouth went dry.

"Light-kun, look at this."

Light came over and read what was written on the small piece of paper that Ryuuzaki had discovered. It read:

"I drained his blood dry with my own teeth. But, nothing would taste as good as the blood from the world's greatest detective. L's head will be mine."

"Ryuuzaki…I…" Light stopped. "Hey! Ryuuzaki what are you doing!?"

L had been sitting in that squatted position for about 25 minutes now. Light had not noticed that the jacket was off, and L was squatting there with that thin three-quarter white sleeved top and those loose baggy blue jeans. His back was exposed to the freezing air. What was with that guy!? Did he not feel the cold!?

L looked quizzically up at Light. "Is something the matter Light-kun?"

"Put that jacket on! You'll freeze Ryuuzaki!" Light said sternly. "How long ago did you take it off?"

"My apologies" He said slowly picking the jacket up.

Light looked at him and stopped. L's eyes were half open and his face was a ghostly white. His hands were also shaking. Light's eyes widened, if Ryuuzaki persisted to move he'd surely freeze! Light grabbed Ryuuzaki up off the floor, he detective stumbled and he grabbed Light for support.

"I don't feel….well Light-kun" L murmured. L felt himself lose it as he feinted off in Light's arms.

"Ryuuzaki!!" Light chocked.
