A/N: No, I did not take this from SasuneUchiha! So don't accuse me of stealing, cuz I didn't. SasuneUchiha was me, but I decided to start anew, thus I made this account. The reason I have moved this fic here was because this is where the sequel will be posted. Ot now of course, I still have Puppy Love to finish off, but after that one I will start on both the sequels of Puppy Love and Forgotten Love.

Chapter 1

"Hey Raito, look! Ryuuzaki's published another one of his books! Wanna read it?" Sayu asked pointing to the book she held in her hands. Matt, Mello, Near, Raito, and Misa looked over. The five, save Raito, looked at the book together and saw a picture of L in it. L was sitting at his chest, legs crossed; he wore thin reading glasses and a pen was at the side of his mouth as he re-read his work on paper.

"Aww, Ryuuzaki's still so adorable!!" Misa squealed. "But Raito is still my number one!!" She said trying to fix her mistake. Not that Raito really cared., he never did like Misa.

"Hey, can I borrow it?" Mello asked Sayu who nodded happily. In seconds Mello snatched the book from Sayu's hands and began to read it, a chocolate bar hanging from the side of his mouth.

"Hmm...I still don't see what you see in him. His work is alright though." Raito sighed

"Shut it Yagami." Growled Mello as he glared at the older one in the group.

"Onii-san, his work is good but don't you like Ryuuzaki just a bit in person?" Sayu asked and Raito hummed and shrugged his shoulders not really caring enough to answer. "Raito..." Sighed his sister, the others looking a bit distressed as well.

"If you don't like Ryuuzaki then just say 'No'. Do you want him to keep hoping if you don't like him at all?" Mello asked.

"He does have a point." Matt agreed.

"Or do you like toying with his feelings Yagami? Are you that cold of a bastard?" Mello sneered.

"It's none of your business what I do!" Raito said angrily. "I told him I just wanted to be friends, that's it! The end. It's his own fault for wanting to keep trying." He hissed as he stood up gathering his things and leaving the room.

"Raito really needs to see things unclouded..." Sighed Misa and everyone else agreed as well in that statement

'Stupid Mello, stupid Sayu, everyone's stupid!' Raito mumbled to himself as he walked the grounds of his school. He looked up at the sky and sighed. 'Everything's so complicated...' Were his thoughts before he was pulled back to reality by someone calling his name.

"Raito-kun..." Someone said. Raito blinked and looked behind him to see L standing there, head slightly tilted to the side.

"L? What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in France for an interview there?" Raito asked quite shocked to see his friend there. The raven haired boy smiled at him kindly, eyes sparkling.

"That interview was canceled this morning Raito-kun, I am sorry I did not inform you sooner of the cancellation and my coming to school today." L said and Raito shook his head with a smile tugging at his lips.

"That's fine, I was just surprised is all." Raito admitted and L nodded. "I saw you released another book." Raito said trying to start a conversation.

"Ah yes, "Death Note". I do hope you will read it Raito-kun, I am sure you would enjoy it." L said and Raito hummed as they walked together inside of the building going to their next class.

"I'll check it out, If I have the time." Raito said nonchalantly and L looked at him amused.

"The last time I checked, Raito-kun always leaves Sunday open for anything, so I assume you can read it then." L said and Raito flushed in embarrassment forgetting about that.

"Fine, I'll read the damn book." He mumbled defeated and L smiled triumphantly and patted Raitos hair affectionately receiving him a defiant yet pouty look from Raito. L gave him a loving smile which made Raito blink a few times feeling elated.

Last Spring, L told Raito he liked him, as more than a friend. Raito had been shocked by the revelation, and had declined telling L that he just wanted to be friends, L was the one that had told him he would not give up. That he would wait until the day Raito would go to him.

"Does Raito-kun feeling anything more towards me?" L asked teasingly snapping Raito back from his daydream of the past, a light pink hue tainting Raitos cheeks.

"No!" Raito huffed shoving L's hand away from his head and speeding up his walk. "Idiot..." He mumbled to himself as he walked.

L sighed as he followed his crush. He wouldn't show it, but it did hurt every time Raito would tell him he felt nothing more than friendship towards him. At least, L thought, he still had Raito's friendship.

-- --

"Why don't you go out with him? Come on, he's a sweet and cute guy!! Also has much money." Kana, one of Raito's friends, asked as they worked on their English project together. L was in another class at the moment, he was in Gym that period.

"I don't like him, I'm not gay." Raito said with a huff.

"Just give him a try, you can always say he forced you into that relationship!" Kana said cheerfully

"And that would make me feel better?" Raito asked starring at the girl with blank bored eyes and Kana sweat dropped.

"I guess not..."

"Besides, we're great friends, It's better to keep it that way." Raito said airily

'Poor Ryuuzaki..' Were Kana's only thoughts.

-- --

"...And that's how it is. He thinks of you so well he doesn't even consider you a candidate." Kana said as she finished what Raito had told her to L and Sayu.

L now had his head against the desk while Sayu patted his back and Kana starred on a bit confused, not knowing what she could do.

"Come on L, don't give up just yet!" Sayu said

"Yeah, Raito will soon come to know he likes you..." Kana agreed helpfully. L raised his head to look at the two girls helping him.

"Thank you. In that case, I will have to use all of your help." L said and the two grinned and agreed.

-- --

"Eh? My birthday? Why?" Raito asked confusedly at his raven haired friend as they walked to his home together.

"Yes, your birthday Raito-kun. It is in five days correct?"L asked

"Yes. Now can you tell me why you're asking?" Raito asked getting irritated. "Is everyone going to try and celebrate it or something?" He asked

"No! Just...me..." L flushed a light pink and Raito rolled his eyes feeling himself turning the same color of his friend.

"Ah!" Raito said as he stopped abruptly, something popping into his head.

"What is it Raito-kun?" L asked worriedly.

"I forgot my notebook in the classroom..." Raito said and L sighed relieved, at least it wasn't anything that bad.

"Do not worry Rait-kun, I'll get it. But remember to keep the day of your birthday free." L said as he turned and strutted away.

"Eh!? Hold on L..." Raito turned and his eyes widened when he saw a car turn the corner and he called out. "L!!" but it was to late.

-- --

"Raito!!" Sayu, Misa, Mello, and Kana called out rushing towards them, Near and Matt right behind them, just not calling out the brunettes name.

"L? Is he still alive!?" Mello asked almost having a panic attack the way he was breathing.

"It's alright, nothing critical, and wasn't seriously hurt. Just..." Raito drifted off.

"Oh my god!! He cant use his hand for a week!!" One of them suggested in a panick, knowing L would literary die if he couldn't write for a week. He couldn't not write for a day, how could he survive one week without writing?

"No...not that...nothing wrong with his hands..." Raito said giving off a nervous smile.

They all walked in and saw L sitting up on a bed looking out the window. But he had turned his head the moment he heard the door open and footsteps enter his room.

"Ryuuzaki..." They all sighed relieved seeing that nothing was wrong with their friend.

"You had me worried sick L!!" Mello said throwing himself at L

"Don't ever do that to Misa again!!" Misa said also throwing herself at L. If you are wondering why Misa cares about L, it's because they have been friends since they were toddlers.

"Excuse me..." L said panicked at the attack of the two. "Who are you?" He asked and everyone starred, and starred, and starred.

"AMNESIA!?"They all cried once they were out in the Rest Room and Raito explained to them about L's condition.

" Wow, Really?" Kana said

"No way..." Sayu said desperately.

"Ah! Maybe L just remembers Raito!!" Misa suggested happily. Catching Raitos attention.

" Of course not. Just then he asked me "Who are you?" too." Raito said with a smile. Misa pouted and talked to Matt.

"That's true, even L's not that good." Matt said and Misa huffed.

"But that's horrible! He could get higher marks if he had remembered Raito" Misa said as the others did their things, Sayu starring at her brother.

"Well, I'm going to call home, alright Sayu?" Raito asked but waited for no answer as he left the room and went to the washroom. Washing his face, he starred up at his reflection in the mirror. 'Who are you?', L's words echoed in his head and his eyes became sad and a bit shallow. Shaking his head and renewed his fire, even for a bit.

'I have to get a hold of myself.' He told himself mentally. 'L who's lost his memory must be the one most worried. If we get all excited, it will get him more worried. I have to try and face him with an unconcerned smile. He never did like having people worry over him.' Raito chuckled sadly. 'But, I don't have to worry to much. He'll remember everything, and then all of this will be something to look back on and laugh.' He told himself. 'No problem...'

-- --

'Hmm...I wonder if they have a toy store around here...' Near thought to hiself as he walked threw the halls. Then he looked to his right and noticed inside the bathroom, Raito starring at himself in the mirror deep In though, unknown tears forming in his eyes. This made Near blink a few times and walked away quickly with a small smile forming at his lips. 'Everything will work out for the best...L.' Near thought as he turned a corner.

-- --

"Have you heard!!" People ranted In school. "They say Ryuuzaki's lost his memories." "What?" "Then, has he also forgotten about Raito Yagami!?" More and more the rumor spread, more people wondering if it was the truth, ad more inclined to see what had happened.

"Morning Yagami-san." L greeted as he saw Raito. Raito gave off a smile and nodded.

"Morning. Feeling any better Ryuuzaki?" Raito asked, 'Yagami-san'...he pondered sadly.

"I am feeling just fine Yagami-san, thank you for asking. Could you by any chance direct me towards the classrooms?" L asked and Raito nodded.

"Come on, follow me." Raito said and L followed obediently.

Whispers about how It was nice that Ryuuzaki now didn't have eyes only for Raito surrounded the school by those many that admired L. It pissed L and Raito's friends off to no end.

"You should say something Raito..." Sayu dead panned.

"Well...they are right." Raito said aloft as he packed his things. This angered Sayu and the others even more.

"Aren't you concerned at all!?" Mello shouted

"It doesn't matter to me, let them talk." Raito said

"Raito, doesn't Ryuuzaki forgetting about you make you feel sad?" Kana asked

"Eh? Of course it makes me sad. You must feel the same way, all of you. He was a close friend." Raito said

"That's not what I meant!" Kana said angrily. "You should be special! Ryuzaki has forgotten all about his crush on you! How can you still laugh?" Kana shouted. Raito's yees clouded momentarily as he remembered the times L would smile at him and call to him.

"I cant help it, it's what happens to people that have amnesia Kana. If he were only to remember me, wouldn't that be unfair? Besides, it's not like i;m his boyfriend or anything. There's no reason for me to feel upset." Raito said already walking away. Kana glared at her friends retreating back and asked something that made Raito freeze, blood run cold.

"Then, I can steal him?" Kana asked. Raito turned and starred at the red haired girl.

"Eh...?" He asked, wondering if he had heard correctly.

"I like Ryuuzaki." Raito became dumbfounded. "Since Ryuuzaki only ever had eyes for you I,didn't want to say anything." Kana continued. "But if you keep acting like this I will make my move." Kana declared before she stormed out of the room, the others looking at Raito sadly before following.

'I like Ryuuzaki...Kana, she...' He thought of her words dumbfounded.

"Raito..." Matt said and Raito turned to look at him.

"Matt?" He asked

"Want to talk on the roof?" Matt asked. The two left up to the roof of the school where the wind blew perfectly.

"I never knew that Kana actually liked L..." Raito said as he leaned over the railing. "Did you know Matt?"

"Sort of..." Matt replied taking a swig of his cigarette.

"How come I didn't notice?" Raito asked in a whisper as he starred off into the sky. "Was I the only one that didn't know?" He asked the red head.

"Nah. Misa and Mello didn't know either." Matt said and Raito sighed, typical. Those two were either hung up over L or himself, they didn't need to know about anyone else.

"Well, that's not really much of a surprise." Raito sighed and Matt laughed.

"True, can't expect much from them when it comes to those they don't really care for." Matt said with a smile. Raito glanced over at his red head friend, which he had met threw L, and saw that his friend had a thoughtful expression on.

"You like Kana don't you Matt?" Raito asked and Matt dropped his cigarette in surprise, he hadn't expected this sudden outburst from his friend. "You do don't you?" Raito asked smirking now as Matt turned his head away blushing.

"Yes, I do..." Matt replied after a moment of hesitation. "Don't tell anyone..." He said looking at Raito whom nodded.

"I won't, it's really not my business, it's yours." Raito said offhandedly

"We better get to class Raito, the bell should ring in a bit." The two teens went down to their classes in a comfortable silence.
