Hey this is my first fanfic. Try to enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I donot own death note if I did then L wouldn't have died.

'This is interesting,' L said with his thumb in his mouth and his eyes fixed on the screen of the television.

The television announced the death of five of the most wanted criminals that have been on the loose for a long time, due to a heart attack. But the fact that piqued L's interest was that their death was caused by a same cause of death and roughly exactly at he same time, as the experts told who examined the bodies after they were found.

'How could all of them die at the same time with a heart attack? Although it is nearly impossible but this is murder,' L mused to the empty room.

'Thank you Mr. Wammy for accepting me in Wammy house,' Maya said, as she was escorted to her room by the owner of Wammy house.

'It was nothing and call me Wammy or Watari. Sleep well and tomorrow I will take you to meet L,' Wammy said with a ready smile, crinkling up his face, then with a parting bow he left Maya.

As Maya stood in front of the door to her new room, she felt like she was at the brink of a new life. And just opening the door her new life would start. Then scoffing at her idiotic thoughts she turned the key in the lock and entered the room careful to close the door softly as not to wake the sleeping form of her baby brother in her arms.

After closing the door she set down her brother on the cot like bed placed there especially for him. She straightened up to observe her surroundings.

The room was simlpy adorned with heavy but beautiful furniture. With a dressing table beside some chairs at one end and a cot and a bed at the other end.

As Maya observed her surroundings her mind wandered to the memories of her past, well it actually wasn't the past it was until a few days ago.

What? This couldn't happen, how they could die, these were the first thoughts that crossed Maya's mind as a police officer informed of her parents death. They both were happy when they had left Maya and Dave to go for a little grocery shopping, and the next news she had of them was them dying in a car crash. The world was simply not fair

Now she and Dave were all alone in the whole world. As both of them didn't have any immediate relatives so they were sent off to the nearest orphanage.

The same words had seemed like a dream to Maya at that time, but now she had came to accept them as the part of her reality now.

The experience of their first orphanage was of the sort that could last Maya her whole life. It was not as if it was a very pleasant one.

Those kids were like savages there, Maya thought. They were not exactly kids most of them were of my age and some even older, I am glad I am now in safe hands away from those bullies, Maya just shuddered at the thought of ever going back to that place ever again.

But I was saved wasn't I, I was only in the orphanage for one week that they told us about the " extremely difficult test " the sender would be sent to a much more better place, this got everybody very excited about the test, Maya thought and she started to feel guilty about leving all the other kids in the hellish place while she was Wammy house.

But wasn't I the only one to be passed in that test, it was me who took above average marks in that test when nobody could even pass the test. That test proved to be lucky for me, it was given out by Wammy to look for bright students through out the whole world, but what does he actually does with them. He seemed very excited about finding me. And what was he talking about. Taking me to a person named L or was it Al? Maya's brain excersied furiously after being jammed for more then a week. The death of her parents has affected her badly and living in that hell of an orphange didn't help the matter either.

But I am safe now, this was the last thought that crossed Maya's mind as she fell asleep.

This girl is nothing like L or Near she is much more livelier then them although the death of her parents has affected her very much but she would get over it she lives here, Watari was thinking as he prepared for changed into his pajamas, after picking up Maya from the airport at midnight and escortng her to her room.

She could be of tremendous help, although at first it was advised to make L and his successors unsociable but now I don't think that this would help them. So for my plan Maya is the perfect person, she easy going enough to let L,M,M and N become a little sociable, but for Mello, Matt and Near I have to do something else too.

Personally Wammy thought that Maya was a perfect candidate to become first in line to become L. She has gotton the highest marks in the enterance test then any of the children in the Wammy house.

She just need polishing and after thta she would be able to surpass even L or Light.

Yes Light, Watari thought with a sigh, he remembered when Light had came with them.

L was solving a case for the Japanese police and Light was usually present with them, helping his father out. Before L could speak out his conclusion he had made from the data provided Light would cut him off and provide the Japanese police with the same conclusion L had made.

This made L frusturated enough to show it. Watari wasn't usually present there to witness the eight wonder of the wolrd but he could always witness the after effects of L's display of emotions, when he came back from the meetings with the Japanese police.

The hotel rose dramatically, then due to the increased consumption of icecream and of course the price of broken objects especially the teacups were included in the hotel bill, Watari chuckled at the thought.

But hadn't shown his other side that had taken a liking to a certain brown haired yout because he showed promise to become the first friend of L in his twenty one years. Of course L would never admit it that he had taken Light in as his personal student because he showed promise to become his friend, he would just say that Light showed the ability to become his worthy successor so he should tutor him properly, Watari thought sadly.

But the problem is that L wouldn't even dream of working with anyone let it be Light or any of the children. But they have to learn to work together. And they have been working together haven't they, Watari persuaded his conscience as he thought about the misery he had put poor Light into. Maybe Maya would help to loosen up the atmosphere between them.

Maya would not be a waiting successor of L, rather she would not be a successor she would work with L, as L, straight away, Watari thought. The new case needed more attention then L could manage, not that L had any fault or he couldn't handle anything by himself. But the new case was indeed damanding and L should learn to work with other people willingly and treat them like his equals, Watari thought as he felt his eyes close due exhaustion, when his face hit the pillow.
