Summary: When L is given a particularly hard case in which theft, hacking and no clues included he needs the help of a certain criminal who is a master in each of these aspects: Kira. Who already being put in jail by L is rather reluctant to have anything to do with the detective and not only that but he's being forced to work alongside another detective named K. So what happens when a figure from K's past comes back to haunt them?

Mastermind Thieves, Nosey Detectives.

Chapter 1

"Lies", "fear", "emptiness", "grief", I'm not so weak that I'm
Gripped by all these kinds of negativities, I'm a trickster who knows no loneliness - Nightmare (Alumina)

Light stared up at the ceiling of the cell he was in blankly.

How L had managed to ketch him he did not know or fully understand.

It was very hard to convict a thief that left no trace evidence.

But L had caught him.

It was game over.

Too bad… he'd had a lot of fun annoying the crap out of the detective.

Light started slightly when he heard the ring of keys that a prison guard was struggling with. The sound, though not unusual to his enhanced hearing, was slightly unusual.

It was unusual because the guard was trying to find the key that fit into the lock of his cell.

Light calmly looked up at the guard, knowing that it would take a few minutes until the guard realized that the keys to his cell was not on any of the key rings that the guards held. Only one person had that key. And it was possible only that fact that kept him loathing the detective. Damn Ryuzaki.

"Hey!" Light called to over to the guard "What's the occasion?"

Light hadn't moved an inch. But then again when you wore handcuffs day and night it was never a good thing to twist around your hands a lot.

The guard, if possible, would have jumped straight through the ceiling.

"Umm… Uhhhh…"

Light sighed.

Everyone was side-tracked by a pretty face.

The guard finally realized that he had gotten sidetracked and quickly spoke, trying to make up for his idiocy. "You have a visitor."

Light snorted.

If he had a visitor it was the last person he wanted to see.

"Yo, Likan! You forgot these!"

Light heard the key whistle through the air before he saw it. The noise was like someone blowing softly into the high pitched end of a harmonica.

"Oh, thanks Lee! I needed this!" The guard, Likan, shouted back.

The guard fit the key into the lock and the sound of the low clicking noise reached Lights sensitive ears. Likan, after many years of training made sure that he was standing in front of his prisoner.

The guard probably thought that his stance and precautions were full proof, but Light knew that if he was truly desperate he would have been gone in a flash.

The thing was… He just wasn't that desperate.

"L are you sure you want to do this? He is a criminal after all…"

"Watari, we both known that this man, or woman, whoever they are that's been robbing these high tech vaults and museums is not someone to take lightly. And I took Kira lightly, I won't make the same mistake."

"But to ask for a criminals help L? That's unlike you!"

"Watari, if I had the choice it would be anyone but him, let alone a criminal; but I must jump at every opportunity to stop this man. Besides, Kira only has two options now, he can help me and lose some years off of his jail time or he can stay where he is with the garbage."

Watari remained silent before turning on his heal and leaving the room.

He knew his ward was right.

L looked up from his most recent and difficult case file that was in his hands to stare at the desktop computer in front of him. He was sitting in his normally crouched position, but he wasn't thinking about the world around him, he was worried about how he was going to solve his case.

He knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to take on this case himself, even if he had Watari going to get Kira from prison it only made sense that the accursed thief would try and be as unhelpful as he possibly could. The only solution was to find a good detective that was almost as good as L himself, however that job was easier said than done.

Midnight :London, England

L looked up at the small silver sign posted on the wall of the small building. He didn't believe that his research had led him to:

K Investigations

4th highest Ranking Detective in the World

And located at the bottom of the sign in small print where the words:

Physic Investigating

He sighed and looked down at his watch frowning lightly at the bright green numbers that glared back at him. It was 12:13 in the morning. Silently hoping he wouldn't wake up a sleeping detective (because he knew how grouchy they were when they were woken from their sleep) he knocked on the door.

Light blinked at Watari, who stood confidently in the meeting room.

As if suddenly noticing him entering the room Wataris' eyes focused on him as he proceeded to lean against a nearby wall with his fettered hands behind his back.

"So you're Kira… how interesting that a child your age would rob so many places and take so long to ketch."

"Hmmm… I guess you're Watson."

"…"

"Is there any particularly reason why you decided to meet with me? Or did Ryuzaki finally figure out my real name?"

"My ward is actually offering you a chance to lose some of your jail time… but both of us are reluctant to even consider being around you as safe."

"… I see, it is only to be expected after all, but what if I don't really want to help Ryuzaki? After all, a few more years in jail is nothing."

"Ryuzaki does not like this arrangement either!" Watari snapped.

"If he doesn't like the arrangement why doesn't he just ask the fourth best ranking detective in the world? Or does he believe that even with K's help that he will not solve this fascinating case of his?"

"Ryuzaki will never rely on just one person Kira; he is too smart to do that as you very well know."

"Indeed. But if this case is too difficult for him to solve on his own what help might I be?"

"Kira, you are a trickster and a thief. You are a hacker as well. And you must be a very smart teen to be able to do all of those things, but as for common sense you have none."

"Watson, I doubt that I have no common sense… After all, if I didn't why would l offer me this bargain of his?"

Kira was a tricky one that was for sure. And Kira had him going full circle before the criminal had backed him to a wall.

L hadn't said that his job would be easy… He had predicted that it would be just the opposite.

"That may be so, but to me, even as a teen with a high IQ you are still naive."

"Think what you wish Watson, but if Ryuzaki wants me to help him he better just come himself, it would make it a whole lot easier on both of you."

"Unfortunately," Watari growled, "L is in England now, and I will sedate you if I must to get you back to the one place you are most familiar with."

"Watson… I never said you would have to force me to leave, but I honestly doubt that I would be sedated by you in this situation. You would be unconscious before you even got near me with that needle."

A/N:

Well now, Light certainly is a touchy one isn't he?

And who on earth is this K person anyways?
