"Raito?" Watari said bending over a small sleeping boy. The boys was setting up against a walk his knees held tightly to his chest. Watari picked up the boy slightly flinching off the heat coming off the child.

"I'm guessing that you do not want to go back home to your mother and father." He quietly asked the small sleeping boy. "A hospital might be out of the question." He walked over to his car putting the boy in the backseat and buckling the boy's seat belt. He then walked back to the bag that was laying next to the boy.

He lifted it and carried it to his car putting it in the passenger seat. "I do have to call your parents Raito. I can't just take you away as much as I want to." He said more to himself then to Raito. He took out his cell phone.

He dialed the number. But there was no answer. "I suppose I will have to talk to them face to face. But first I should have some one watch you." He drove down town a little ways. Turning in at a hotel that looked deserted but new.

He got out of the car taking the child from the back seat. He walked up to the hotel, then showed his eye to the retinal scanner. He walked up the stairs going in to the elevator. After it stopped he walked in to the main room.

A young teenager stopped typing when he heard a noise. "Hello Watari, I did not think you would be back so soon, but since you are here would you bring me some cake? I have an idea but I can not seem to think of how to carry it out and I think cake would help."

Watari did not respond making L look up. He saw the small child in Watari's arms. "I think I'll get the cake myself, but who is the child?"

"This is Y, for now until he takes a new name. He will be attending the school but I must speak to his parents. They are not very cooperative about us taking him. For some strange reason they do not want him to have above average grades so they squander his talents and I am quite sure that it will kill him."

"That is odd, most people from Japan are very proud when their children are smart. So if his parents don't want him with us what is he doing here?" Watari put Raito down on a sofa near the TV. L walked over to him.

"They do not know he is here, he ran away and I need you to watch him until I return. If I am arrested hack the system to make sure I get free anyway you can." L nodded for a moment then looked surprised at what Watari had said. He quickly let his mask slid back in to place.

"What do you mean if you are arrested and more importantly you want me to baby-sit. I do not believe I can watch a child. I can barely handle being around Near and he is one of the most intelligent people I know, please tell me your kidding." He looked up at Watari shook his head. "Fine but you have to let me have chocolate syrup in place of drinks tomorrow."

"Fine but if you get sick you can not have any sugar with your breakfast this week or next" L shook watari's hand in agreement.

L picked up his laptop and sat on the other end of the sofa. "So why do you think you will arrested?" Watari didn't asnwer, he turned towards the door. "Speak Japanese, and when he wakes give him a fever reducer. Make sure he says warm." With that Watari walked out. L stared at the child for a while then began to work on his case without the cake.


On the way to Raito's house. Watari saw Sayu playing with a jump rope. "Hello Sayu." He said a little ways away after parking his car down the street. She ran up to him.

"Hi Watari-san if your looking for Raito he's not here, but don't tell mommy or dad cause they don't know." He nodded and patted Sayu's head.

"Yes, I know," He looked down at her and wondered if she had any answers to the mystery that is Raito and his family. "Sayu if I may ask a question, why doesn't your father like Raito much?"

"Oh that's easy, dad is always fighting with mommy over it, dad isn't really Raito's daddy, I don't really know why but mommy says that I came from dad and her but Raito only came from her and some other man. " Her innocent eyes meant Watari's, she turned away quickly looking towards the ground.

"That's why mommy says that dad doesn't want him to be smart. Cause he brings enough attention to himself already. So he makes Raito go outside like grandfather use to do to dad when he wasn't being good. Dad says that if he won't be normal like the rest of the family then he doesn't belong."

The girl looked happy but her eyes told a different story. "I wish they would let Raito be happy, mommy says that it is her fault that dad doesn't like Raito, if she hadn't done what she did then none of this would of happen." She looked down as if she were finished with her story.

"Thank you Sayu, you are a very intelligent girl but one more thing, if you wouldn't mind, could you tell me what made Raito stopped talking?"

"No, sorry Watari-san, I promised Raito and dad I wouldn't. But Watari-san if you take Raito away will I be able to see him?" Watari sadly shook his head. "Then will you make sure he is happy and eats, and tell him about your life, like I till him what all my friends say, he likes listening."

"I'll be sure to do that, but there are other children that he will live with so he can have his own life to talk to people just like him." Sayu smiled and hugged him. She then ran down the street to play with some of the other children near by.

Watari walked to the door and knocked. Mr. Yagami answered the door. "Hello, I am Watari, I liked to speak to you about your son." sighed but let the man in, his annoyance was shown but he did not want to be rude.

"Raito." Mr. Yagami called. "Sorry he must be outside one moment."

"That is not necessary, I would like to talk to you alone." sat down offering Watari a seat opposite him. "As you know your son's test scores are off the chart. Now I would like to ask to let your son come to my school."

"I do not want my son to make a fool of himself, if people think that he is intelligent then come to find that it was all a lie then he will be made a laughing stock and it will do nothing but harm this family. How would Sayu ever get in to a good school if they thought her brother was a fraud?"

"Well then you could let him come to my school, children there have no real connection to their families and their names are often changed to protect their families if they do fail. But if I may ask, why do you think Raito is going to fail."

"It is simple, Raito is not very smart, I don't even think he knows how to read after all the boy can't even talk. But the school does seem like a good idea. How much does it cost and may I visit it. Just to make sure you are not some kind of lunatic."

"Yes, you may see it, It is not very far, you may bring your wife if you wish. I suggest Raito stays here though, I don't like showing the children the school until it is time for them to stay there." Watari slid in the lie Raito may not be there but if they didn't know that then it wouldn't hurt a thing.

"The cost is free of course, all you must do is sign some papers giving the school legal custody in case Raito acts out." Another lie, Watari sighed he needed custody though or else his plan wouldn't work.

"Well, I do have the day off and lately Raito has been acting out, can you believe he made his little sister steal a book for him?" Watari shook his head, of course he didn't believe it, but he had to make it look convening.

"I will see what my wife has to say, then I will get Sayu I think Raito is either outside or in his room, he can stay there for punishment." Watari nodded and waited until every one had gathered up, Mrs. Yagami seemed upset by Watari's being there and the fact that Raito might be going to the school but she accepted that this might be the only way to brush the past and Raito under the carpet.

Mr. Yagami with his wife and daughter followed Watari to his school. A school set up by Watari to house orphans of normal level intelligence. Though this was not the school Raito would attend, it seemed like a perfect place to show Mr. and Mrs. Yagami in order to get custody of their son.

_mean while._


L stared down at the child who might someday be his take his place. His computer sat across the room forgotten. The case he was working on solved.

The child he stared at looked normal, beside the fact that he was underweight. Mello, Matt, and Near always had something different, something that made them stand out. But this child was average.

L poked the boy on the cheek. "You are quiet tiresome Y-kun and I do not much like that name, what does the Y stand for, Yttrium? Or is it the first letter of your last name?" L yawned went to find a blanket that he could cover Raito and himself with.

When he came back Raito was setting up looking around. "Hello," Ryuzaki said, annoyed at the lost chance to study the boy. "I am Ryuzaki or I am going by Ryuzaki this week anyway, Watari told me you are going by Y please do not say your real name to anyone again." The boy nodded.

"Would you mind taking some medicine?" The boy looked up at L and shook his head. L sighed and threw the cover over Raito's legs and flipped on the Television. "Well do you mind if I watch TV. I like to watch the news now and again." Raito nodded and looked over at the book shelf.

L followed the boys gaze. "Do you want to read a book?" Raito's eyes widened "Any favorites, the main ones we have here are detective novels but I'm sure I can find a fantasy one if you want it. What kind do you like?"

L sighed and after waiting for a response. "There is a 82% chance that you do not talk, well since you will not respond then I will have to make a deal with you, if you take the medicine that Watari asked me to give you then I will let you read the great Conan Doyle."

Raito looked at the book shelf for a moment then nodded. L smiled "Hmm maybe children aren't that hard to deal with as long as they don't talk very much." L got the medicine, a piece of cake, and Raito's book and sat back down.

He handed Raito the pills and some water. Raito swallowed quickly and looked at L with his large eyes. L grinned and handed Raito the book. "You know that look won't go over well at school, and Mello will most likely hate you for it."

Raito shrugged opening the book becoming engrossed in it. After watching the news for about 20 minuets L turned it off and watched Raito read. "Your analyst is rather difficult without you talking, Will you talk to anyone?"

Raito shook his head after putting down the book that was a quarter of the was finished. "When was the last time you talked?" Raito held up 5 fingers.

"When you were 5? Well you look five now, but your body and your tired eyes say your more like a small seven year old. Can I do anything to make you talk or are you just mute." Raito's large wide eyes meant those of Ryuzaki's.

"Yes will you are mute I wonder what happen to make that way." L looked at Raito and noticed he was staring across the room at some red apples Watari had put down in case L wanted something other then sugar.

"Do you want an apple?" Raito shook his head but did not look towards L, he just stared at the apples. L looked at the apples and noticed that one of them seemed to move. "Impossible." He said to himself wondering if he was seeing things.

Raito breathing picked up as if he were scared. Ryuzaki looked at Raito, who still stared at the apples. Raito watched as one of the apples disappeared. He then looked at Ryuzaki who did not seem to notice the disappearing apple.

Ryuzaki felt cold air blow right though him, as if a window was open. " What is the matter? Please do not hyperventilate Watari won't like it if he finds that you had woken up only to pass out." The boy was no longer looking at L but at his hands. His eyes seemed to hold a look of depression.

Ryuzaki felt himself shiver, he noticed that his vision was starting to tunnel. Raito looked at him with such remorseful eyes. Then the darkness seemed to consume L's vision. Raito watched as L fell in to a deep sleep.

"Hello Raito, long time no see." The boy looked up at a monster no one else could see, tears threaten to fall from the child's eyes. "No hello Ryuk? Well I can see you don't miss me." The monster patted the boy on the head and smiled.
