DISCLAIMER: If I owned death note I would not feel the need to write fanfiction. Only the characters you don't recognize belong to me.

WARNING: This story is intended for mature readers only. There will be lots and lots of GRAPHIC sex in later chapters because I am a dirty girl... but only after an unbearable amount of sexual tension of course. Please read at your own discretion.

AUTHORS NOTE: This story will be an AU mostly because I don't have the heart to end it like they did in Death Note.


Prologue

"Not only is your request ridiculous, it's… impossible" the metal chair screeched and flew across the floor as the young copper hair man rose to his feet. The walls of the warehouse were cold and the light above the four slowly swung back and forth from the sudden commotion, adding to the already tense ambiance. His emotions always tended to get the better of him, unlike his partner who sat quietly to his left. Her face impassive as the scene unfolded before her. His hands were spread tautly on the table and his eyes were full of an emotion that closely resembled fear.

"You must be insane if you think what you're asking is actually plausible" he lifted his clammy hands off the table and stood up straight, his hands running through his already unruly hair. His eyes closed and he released a sigh. An almost unnoticeable smile graced the woman's face. The man on her right had a tendency to overreact at the smallest of things.

"I assure you we are completely sane and very serious" the younger and more attractive of the two men across from them spoke up "Don't make me regret bringing this job to you. I heard you were professionals. Now please sit down so we can conclude our business. I grow tiresome of this".

Finally coming to the young copper haired man's rescue, the curly blonde piped up deciding that he had made enough of a fool out of himself and by association, her.

"Yes Marcus, please sit down so we can hear these fine men out" her voice was smooth and calm, unlike that of her shaky partner. Marcus rolled his eyes at the emotionless woman. Reading her was like trying to read old Egyptian heiroglifics….it just didn't happen without years of study and sheer will and determination.

"What you want doesn't come quick or easy which also means it doesn't come cheap. What would you be offering for our services?" She inquired while examining her finely manicured nails.

This time the older, more collected of the two men in front of them spoke up.

"Ten million dollars… cash. Three up front and seven once the job is done" his silver hair reflected off the moving light above them.

She stopped fingering her nails immediately while Marcus' jaw practically hit the ground. They had never even been paid close to that much before.

"Jesus, your boss must really want this guy dead" Marcus gasped.

"You have no idea." The younger one spoke up again, smiling cruelly.

"Well gentlemen... I always enjoy a challenge and I can't say no to a number like that" she removed her sunglasses to reveal large pistachio colored eyes and extended her hand across the table to the two. "You have yourself a deal" she was unable to stop a Cheshire grin from overtaking her face as they sealed the arrangement with a firm shake.

"Our boss will be very pleased to hear this" the men rose and adjusted their ties and watches accordingly "We will contact you in the next week to go over the minor details. Thank you for your time and thank you in advanced for your unmatched services" the younger one spoke while running his eyes over her firm, womanly body.

And with that they turned and exited the building without another word.

"Mae, why the fuck do you think we can do this? Do you know who this man is?!" the worry in his voice was evident as his hands found their way back onto the top of his head. He couldn't understand how is business partner and somewhat close friend of eleven years wasn't more worked up about this. He shouldn't have been as surprised as he was though; she had always been this way.

"Of course I know who he is you twit" she groaned while once again examining her burgundy colored nails. When he didn't respond immediately she looked up at him and raised one of her hands to place it gently on his scruffy cheek as his hands fell to his lap.

"Why do you doubt me so? When have I ever failed to complete a job? I'm not the world's greatest assassin because I backed down every time we get a difficult job" the confidence was evident on her voice as she continued running a smooth thumb over his cheek "And you wouldn't be the world's greatest hacker if I let you back down. So trust me, we can do this".

He gave a defeated grunt and finally looked her in the eyes as she dropped her hand from his face "I suppose I trust you. You have never steered me wrong before…. At least when it comes to work".

"Wonderful, it's decided then" She clapped and went to reach for the heart shaped sunglasses she had discarded on the table earlier while rising out of the chair she had been sitting in for much too long. She raised the costly shades to her face and placed them on her small, upturned nose as she looked down to the man next to her.

"We will find L" her grin was cold and calculating "and I will kill him".


I hope you enjoyed the prologue. I will be trying to post a couple more chapters this week seeing as I already have them mapped out. Please don't hesitate to offer constructive criticism, thoughts or where you want to see this story go. I would love to hear what other people think.

See you in a few days lovies!

XOXO,
