Light entered his home. He didn't live with his parents and little sister any more. He lived in a nice house with Misa, the actress singer celebrity. God, he was glad that she was away for two weeks. Misa was in Paris working on her new film production that would surely, just like her past movies, be a cash success in Japan.

Light walked to his room, closed the curtains and lay down on his bed. He lay there in the darkness and silence for a while. The shinigami still staring at him with a smile engraved on his face.

"Raito, you could get to know him better, you know?" Light opened his eyes. He did not know if he should start scolding the freaky god for making fun of such a serious matter, if he should laugh at the prospect of encountering a living corpse or feel hope in believing that somehow he could get to know L. "Shinigami have many powers besides killing, and I'm not speaking about the eyes" The god of death spoke in a mysterious voice, almost as if he was making fun of the now interested young man.

"Oh really, such as?"

"How do you think I could travel from the Shinigami Realm to this world?"

"I don't know, I suppose you have some passage or something to travel from there to here and back"

"Well, I wouldn't call it a passage, but it is something close. You see, the Shinigami Realm is a different world than this one, it's not like you can move from place to place like you humans do in transportation"

"Yes, yes Ryuk. I get your point. Will you now PLEASE tell me how I can get to know L better!" His patience was coming to an end. He hated it when this silly creature joked with him like this. Ryuk was delighted and having a real time now.

"You see, the Shinigami Realm and the Human World are two different dimensions, so it requires one to be able to travel in between dimensions in order to arrive at a destination."

Light was now looking really annoyed. He lay back on his bed. I knew I was wasting my time listening to this shinigami. But Ryuk continued.

"We can not only choose to which dimension we wish to go, but also when."

At this Light's eyes grew wide and he quickly sat up! Could this be true or was the shinigami just playing games? The god of death remained there standing and smiling at him, waiting for Light's reaction.

"By saying when, you mean you can actually travel in time?"

"Yes"

A/N
I have always wanted to write a story with time traveling, this sounded like the perfect scenario. After all Ryuk always has a surprise up his sleeve
