Thanks soooooooo much for all of you who reviewed

Ryuk is a lot OCC but I needed him to be sorry. OH LIGHT IS NOT Kira. I do not like the ideal of light being Kira so he isn't, not in this one. I still think that he was black mailed in to being Kira in the first place and that when he touched the death note it took over him making him evil and that he was just a poor innocent by stander in the original story. . . just saying.

Yesh they will be going to the school. And Mello will be in this and all of you who love him will love him I hope. Those who like Matt will like this story more because I think I can write a better Matt then I can Mello but we'll just have to see.

Sorry for the grammar problem. But my beta is really good sometimes . . .

Disclaimer: I don't own death note.

"I need to ask a question before you leave, Yagami-san. I need to know why Raito is mute." Mrs. Yagami looked up at the question and turned towards her husband with sorrowful eyes. He shook his head and looked at Watari as if he were not going to tell the hole story.

"The truth is we don't really know, he just stopped talking two years ago. He does scream occasionally during the night. He tells us to turn on the light and to go away. He is very much afraid of the dark."

He sighed the papers that were on the table in front of him. He legally gave Watari full custody of his son. Giving up the right to ever see him again. He handed the papers to Sachiko who also sighed quickly without even read them. "You also need to know that Raito is insane." Mrs. Yagami said.

Watari stared at her for a moment then smiled, taking the papers off the desk. "What do you mean by that? A lot of children are afraid of the dark."

"He sees things. Well more like people. He gives them the most unusual names. Ryuk, Rem, and Teru. We thought at first that there were imaginary friends, but they are more then that they're." She sighed for a moment unsure of what to say. "Well he thinks they are real."

"Some children do believe very much in their imaginary friends and since Raito is smart then there is no reason that he would not make up very elaborate names for these friends." Soichiro shook his head.

"There is more. I don't think you will believe most of it, but just so you know every so often Raito will cut himself we don't know how he does it or if it is even him doing it or someone else. Check him every so often for the cuts, they get infected easily." Sachiko said rubbing her arm.

Watari held his temper wondering if the child did it to himself or if his parents beat him and hid it. Either way it was a form of abuse. Even if Raito did it to himself and they did take him to see anyone. "I'll do that. Tell me does he find comfort in the light?"

"No never he only finds comfort in reading. But he seems to smile when we leave the light on for him." Soichiro said putting the pen down. "We'll be leaving now come by to pick up Raito and his things we'll send him off."

"No that is not necessary one of my drivers saw him waiting outside alone so he is already coming and I will get him new clothes if he needs anything. Thank you, you may go." Watari smiled his planned worked but he wondered if any of the things they said were true.

_Mean while ('.')('.') _

"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.

Raito hugged the monster. "Yeah I know you missed me kid. You don't have to cry or look so depressed, I 'm sorry its been so long. You saw Rem Wednesday though didn't you?" Raito nodded. "Oh and don't worry Teru is no where near here."

Raito looked over at L Ryuk followed his gaze. "Oh he's just asleep I didn't want him to see you talking to yourself. But I forgot that you don't talk anymore. Hyuk Hyuk" Ryuk laughed."Next time I won't put him to sleep but he should wake up within ten minuets ."

Raito grinned as he climbed on top of L and smoothed out the older boy's hair. Just to see what he would look like with it not in a mess. The feeling of it was soft making Raito want to play with it more but he decided against it.

"I didn't come here for you to play with his hair kid, Teru is looking for you again. He is killing right now but he says he wants to make you kill people." He handed Raito a small pink eraser "Use this when need be. Now I don't owe you anything so I most likely won't be back anytime soon."

Raito looked at him with gloomy eyes. "Listen I can't protect you anymore kid or I could die, if Teru gets to close then I'll have Rem help you." Raito nodded as he got down from L's lap. "You know he wouldn't go after you if you weren't so bright."

The monster reached out to pat Raito's head but the boy flinched. " Anyway see you later kid." With that the monster disappeared.

Raito messed up L's hair to make it look normal, then started to read once more. Soon after L woke with a start. L looked around then walked over to a near by table picking up his lap top. "Well that was certainly strange I don't normally fall asleep like that."

Raito nodded, L started to type. They stayed that way until Watari returned with dinner. "Hello Ryuzaki, Light is legally in our custody now."

"Light I thought that we were going to call him Y." Ryuzaki said, his typing slowed as he watched Watari.

"Yes well I thought Light was more appropriate. He seems to like the light very much." He said putting the food down then looked towards the small boy. "I think Light is a well chosen name for you, do you like it."

Raito nodded but did not look up from his book. He wanted to read as much of it as possible before Watari or someone took it away. Watari walked up to the boy and bent on one knee to level with him. He put his hand on the boy's forehead and again felt the high fever. The boy flinched but did not stop reading.

"You may keep the book Light we will not take it away." L said looking up from his laptop. Watari sighed and stood up. He went to the brown bag and took out a cake and some food from a pasta restaurant. "Two pieces Ryuzaki and you have to take vitamins today. Light come over here please."

Light put his book down and walked over to Watari. Watari handed him some pasta. "Eat this and then I need you to take a shower, take some pills, and go to bed. And you may read until you fall asleep." Light smiled and took the plate happily.

Watari shook his head, the boy was taking everything to easily, Mello hated him when he did this for him. Matt even said that he didn't need him. Then again Near just took everything quietly like Light. But it still worried the man.

L started to eat his cake as Watari sat next to Light and ate. After finishing the dinner Watari looked up at L. "I will take Light for his bath do you want anything before we go?" Light was almost done with his book and didn't look up.

L sighed looking though his emails and eating his cake."A better case. The ones you have given me are far to easy, do we have any new ones." Watari walked over to his desktop and opened a file from his emails.

"This one is new. Some people are dieing of heart attacks and these people have no preexisting conditions." Light dropped his book. He stared up at Watari with wide eyes.

"Are you sure it isn't just some disease?" Ryuzaki asked eating his cake. Light ran over to Watari's computer looking at the email.

Watari smiled down at him and turned off his computer. "It's in your emails if you want to look at it Ryuzaki." Watari took Light's hand but he just stared at the computer.

"Come Light we need you to take a bath after that you may look at what ever you wish." When they were in the bath room Watari asked Light to take his clothes. Light nodded and began to undress with a towel over anything important.

Watari looked over him. The scars on the boy's body were vast some where not properly taken care of and some looked only 2 to 3 days old. Watari turned the boy around to see the scars on his back. Just as L walked in.

"Watari I believe that this is a-. what happen to his back?" Watari looked as if he were ready to kill his fist tighten in to balls. Light got in to the tub and sank down in the water.

"If you need anything just knock on the tub I will hear you Light." Watari said patting the boy on the head, Light nodded

Watari walked in to the next room. Ryuzaki followed taking one last look at the boy. They closed the door behind them."He couldn't of done that to himself, the scars are to deep and cut the wrong way. Can you believe his parent want me to think he did that to himself!" Ryuzaki just shook his head.

"Yes I can believe that just as I believe that Mello's parents sent him to the hospital 23 times because he wasn't good enough, just as I believe that Matt's parents would constantly burn him with anything they could get their hands on and brake bottles of alcohol over him for hacking in to computers and games." L said a little angry himself.

L sighed and continued. "Just as I would believe Near's parents would hit him so hard it would knock him out just for being so pale. I don't want to believe it but I must. Watari the world is harsh, you know that more then anyone."

"So harsh that parents don't even care for their children, I don't know why I'm so surprised maybe its because Lights parents are so normal. But then again your parents were scientist that couldn't handle you."

L let his mask slip. He looked down thinking about his parents. "Yes and they abused me so horribly that I can't walk that well without slouching, that my legs hurt to badly to sit normally and they used me as a test rat now I can't function without enough sugar. All to make me smart so I may prove it to the world."

"What a lovely bunch of detectives all of you are though, a boy who lives his life though games, a boy who thinks that he must be best or someone will beat him to death, and a boy who is smarter then anyone and needs to prove it." Watari said patting L's shoulder.

"Yes and the new child who can finish a Sherlock homes novel in less then 4 hours and write papers that only a few people would be able to completely comprehend. But won't talk a word and who looks as though he doesn't eat and I'm sure was ignored. We are quite the group."

Light walked in to the room as they both were looking down. He was dressed in some night clothes Watari had bought him. He walked over to Ryuzaki and stared at their feet. Watari smiled at the boy.

"There is nothing down there Light, we just found our shoes to be quite interesting." Light pointed to L's bare feet. "He found his feet interesting. Now lets get you to bed, and yes you may have your book." Watari took Light's hand and Ryuzaki followed wondering why Light was taking this move so well as Light wondered if Teru was near.
