Hello my fellow readers! So I started reading the manga scanlations of Bleach to get a little inside background on the arrancar or what not. I seriously love Bleach, it is just terribly amusing. OMG my sister just told me the funniest thing. She's not a Bleach fan but she knows I like it so she watched one episode with me and when she saw Chad/Sado she said that he reminded her of Jacob Black from the Twilight series. I looked at her like she was crazy and said that they had nothing in common but I still found it funny.

Wow, just thinking about that makes you wonder what other Twilight characters you can find in Bleach. Rangiku would be a good Rosalie…...and that's about it. If you think you can find other crazy Twilight characters in Bleach tell me!!

Okay, so L's zanpakuto's name will be called Maindo, it's simple and it is Japanese for 'mind.' I'm not sure what it should look like in its shikai or bankai state. Yes, L will have a bankai because I think it's crucial for him to have one in the story.

All right, thank you too Shinami Tsuyoki, Translucent Darkness, and Kinlin Child of Youma, for the wonderful reviews!

Oh! Do you guys listen to music when you do your fanfics and you find like the theme songs and stuff? Okay, I have four songs that would be the theme songs for this fan fiction. They are by the same artist but I really like them.

Love is Dead – Kerli (There's a really good Death Note amv to this song so find it and watch it!!)

They Forgive – Kerli

Hurt Me – Kerli

Goodbye – Kerli (This is my personal favorite for this fan fiction, it's going to be the perfect theme song for when Ryuuzaki 'betrays' the Soul Society)

On with the fic!!

The sun had set. The shining city lights looked brighter than before almost like a thousand stars in the dark night. It was beautiful, yet agonizing to watch. The lights showed the thousands of people that lived their happy lives, ending one day, waiting for the start of another.

L had never really thought about how beautiful a city could look like in the evening. Hell, he still didn't really care. He wasn't looking at it, oh no. He stood his ground, his wide dark eyes looking at one place in particular. Not many people came by this place but it didn't take long for the team of officers to find the body and take it away. L had been there the whole entire time, watching him.

He knew what had happened. That strange man had taken the monster away, had taken his soul away and after he had left did L had the courage to walk up and look at him. No emotion crossed his face. This is what he deserved. For tricking him, for making him think that he had a real friend. At times he truly doubted that he could have been Kira. But look at him now, dead because of his madness.

When the body was taken away he walked up to the staircase. He looked down at the blood and reached out to touch it. When he brought his fingers up to look at them, no blood was visible. He tried again, and again the stain of the red liquid was missing. Again and again he tried until he tired himself out. And in that moment did he feel the tear rolling down his cheek.



"Soul….yummy yummy soul…..where are youuuu?"

The croaky voice made L look away from his fingers and turn around. A creature much like the one that the man with the glasses had taken away stood in front of him. The white mask was ugly without comparison. It resembled a grinning hyena, and its body was that of a black lion. It stalked closer and closer to L, its grinning face chuckling, "Why are you crying? A yummy soul like you shouldn't be crying…." It said cackling. He crouched down, ready to attack, "It should be…..eaten!!"

The creature pounced, mouth opened wide. L didn't flinch but before he could move away from the creature's path, a shadow, or what seemed like a shadow appeared and slashed at the head of the creature. The thing squealed and shrieked in agony before drifting away into shimmering specks of energy.

L looked up at the man who had destroyed the creature, his wide eyes following his every move. The man wore a black kimono with a sword hanging by his side. He glanced back and noticed L there. The man seemed very friendly as he smiled at L. "Got here right on time huh?" he asked chuckling.

"Um…..yeah I guess," L said in a monotone voice.

The man raised his eyebrow at L and looked at him with amused eyes, "Your kind of strange, don't worry, when you get to the Soul Society I'm sure people won't really trouble you," he said chuckling, "What's your name, son?"

L still didn't like giving out his real name to people, he never had, "Ryuuzaki…," he said softly.

The man nodded, "Ryuuzaki huh? Is that your last or first name?" he joked laughing, "I'm Isshin Kurosaki, I'm a shinigami and I'm here to send you to a better place," he said grinning.

L's eyes narrowed, "Shinigami?" he frowned at him, "I've had some horrible experiences with shinigami before, but you don't look like the ones I've seen," he said in a low voice.

"Is that so….other shinigami?" he pondered this and scratched at his beard, "Oh! You mean Grimm Reapers? Yeah, our cousins sure are ugly! No, don't be scared, I'm a Soul Reaper shinigami, I don't kill people, I save souls and humans from Hollows the, thing that was about to eat you,"

L looked at him with pondering eyes, "I see then,"

"Well, let's get on with the konso, don't worry, the Soul Society is a good place. Nothing bad really happens and you will make new friends in the Rukongai. And if you like, you can study hard and enter the Shinigami Academy," he said grinning goofily.

L's dark eyes showed no emotion as they looked back down at the steps, "I saw a man earlier….that looked like you but with a white coat…..he was taking one of those creatures away to some place," he said softly.

Isshin narrowed his eyes, "Is that so…." He said with a dark voice. He looked at the steps, his eyes wavering for a second and then back at L, his smile returning, "Don't worry, I'm sure it wasn't something bad," he took out his sword and walked over to L.

L looked at the blade, and didn't take a step back not really intimidated by the sharp end. Isshin smiled at the lack of a reaction, "You're strong boy, I can see that," he said twirling the sword around and pressing the pummel against the other's forehead, "I hope we meet again Ryuuzaki,"



The shinning white light around L was refreshing. He looked up at Isshin with wide eyes and then closed them. In that moment, there was a sort of bliss that surrounded him. All of the memories of his past came back to him. He remember his years at the orphanage, his time around the world. His battle against the world's most notorious criminal. Kira. Dead. Like him. But who was that man that had taken Kira away.

That had taken Light away.

Light…..what happened to you…

The cloudless twilight sky made ripples of orange and red light appear in L's room. The room was finally clean, and his things where finally packed. His days as a member of the Eleventh Division were over and now he was transferring to a new division. He wasn't nervous, he was never nervous.

Right then, he felt nostalgic. It was on a day like this that he saw him die….Light.

A lot had happened since he had been konso-ed into the Soul Society. Isshin Kurosaki had left to live in the human world.

"BAGGY-CHAN!!"

L didn't have enough time to step away as a flurry of pink jumped on his back, making him fall to the floor in a stupor. He groaned and looked up, one of his eyes twitching as a hyper active lieutenant sat atop of him. Yachiru had never truly grasped the idea of not scaring him like this but she always did it and sometimes L thought she did it on purpose, "Lieutenant Kusajishi, I'd be very grateful if you stood up from my back," he said with a forceful voice.

"I brought you a present Baggy-chan! You like cake right? I made Baldy-kun buy me this biiiiig cake and I want to share it with you!!" she said giggling and standing up from his back.

L's eyes lit up, "Really? What flavor?" he asked, his interest peaked

"Strawberry, silly!" Yachiru said with a wide toothy smile.

Yachiru could be a big troublemaker at times, but he sure loved her taste.

"Tch, kid wouldn't shut up about it!" Ikkaku Madarame complained. The bald headed shinigami walked into L's room followed by another officer.

"She wanted it to be a Goodbye present, since you're joining the Twelfth" Yumichika Ayasegawa said smiling brightly at L, "I'm surprised you even signed up for the Squad 12, Ryuuzaki. Captain Kurotsuchi is such a strange man," the feminine man sat on L's bed looking at his packed bags.

"Heh, they need someone with Ryuuzaki's intelligence!" Ikkaku said grinning and putting the box of what seemed to be like the mother of all cakes on a nearby table, "I mean, you're a great fighter Ryuuzaki, but you never seemed like the kind that would stay in the Eleventh for long, no offense,"

"None taken," L said standing up from the floor and going over to the box. Ikkaku watched as L's eyes lit up in pure joy as they saw the cake. The man only ate sweets. He wondered how he stayed so skinny. Not only that, but the man was a mess all the time. Unruly hair, a hunched back. And yet he was such an excellent fighter, no doubt he would make a fine Lieutenant one of these days.

"So did you get an officer rank?" Yumichika asked him.



"Fourth officer," L said as Yachiru began two large pieces of cake.

"Ugh, that's the ugliest number," Yumichika said, his face scowling.

"It's good enough," L said smiling softly.

"I HEARD SOMEONE HAS CAKE!!" an exceptionally loud but recognizable voice stated. Rangiku Matsumoto walked into the room, her inhumanly large breast bouncing around in the tight confinements of her shinigami kimono. She laughed at L's and Yachiru's expression as they hid the cake behind them, "I was just kidding guys! You know I gotta mind my weight!" she said grinning at them and making a sort of model posse to show her body off.

"It doesn't matter if you eat anything with sugar, it all goes straight to your boobs," Ikkaku said picking at his ear.

"Did you shine your head this morning Ikkaku, I think you missed a spot," she said with a happy face. This made the man fume.

L chuckled softly and everyone looked at him, "I'm gonna miss you guys," he said softly. He knew that Captain Kurotsuchi didn't like other division members around him. The man was a bitter, horrible man, but L felt more at home in a Squad that could use his intelligence then in one that was all about brute force.

"Don't worry darling!" Matsumoto said grabbing L and giving him a breast suffocating hug, "We'll try to see you every day,"

"Yeah Baggy-chan!! We'll kidnap you!" Yachiru said grinning happily.

"Why don't we go out for some fun?" Yumichika stated looking at them with a blank expression.

Everyone stayed quiet for a moment and then Matsumoto grinned, "I'll go look for more people to party with!!" she shouted as she ran out of the room.

After Matsumoto's search they ended up with three captains, eight lieutenants, and five seated officers, including L. It came strange to L that he was so popular around the Gotei 13. He had never done anything out of the ordinary other than graduate at the top of his class and some other few things that he didn't really remember.

And then he remembered that that day had been a graduation ceremony for new shinigami. How could he have forgotten? He must have been to wrapped up in his transfer that he had missed seeing the new recruits. So this meant that many of the lieutenants and captains had the day off for the next day it would when the new recruits would be assigned to their respective squads.

So this was how Matsumoto's plan of action went as. Along with Ikkaku, Yumichika and Yachiru they all rounded up the other 12 shinigami. Matsumoto went to her captain, who at first went against the idea of leaving his paperwork and hers not finished. But she somehow persuaded Toshiro, maybe made a deal of doing his and her paperwork later. Then she mentioned it was for Ryuuzaki. That changed the whole situation. Ryuuzaki was the only shinigami that he considered a friend who actually gave him the respect of calling him by his respected title, Captain Histsugaya. After getting her captain to say yes, she went to her drinking buddy, Kyoraku-sama. He agreed immediately and Nanao said she would come as well incase her captain got drunk. Then Shunsui wondered if Ukitake would like to go. The three went to the Eleventh Division. Unfortunately Jushiro was sick in bed so he had to stay, but Kiyone and Sentaro heard 

of the party and asked their captain permission to go. The kind captain only smiled and nodded. He sent his regard to Ryuuzaki and apologized for not being there.

On the other side of the Sereitei Yachiru, was riding piggyback in the back of her captain. Of course Zaraki would go; Ryuuzaki had been a great member of their squad, even if he looked so scrawny and weak. But Zaraki knew not to judge a book by its cover. Look at what happened with Yachiru. The little firecracker proved to be more than just a little girl.

They met with Ikkaku and Yumichika who were already accompanied by Renji, Momo, Izuru and Shuuhei. Then Lieutenant Iba saw Ikkaku and challenged him to a fight and Ikkaku said that he didn't have time for 'bitch fights.' Iba, not standing to see his pride wounded, followed them as he taunted Ikkaku into fighting. Ikkaku agreed but only if the looser paid for the tab at whatever place they were going to.

And that's how Ryuuzaki's night before his transfer became a celebration.

"I'm still shocked so many people came," Ryuuzaki said not eating or drinking anything. Rangiku had chosen a bar in the first Rukongai District that was famous for its liquor. It was small but the owner was proud to have so many respectable shinigami as his customers.

"It's not just for your farewell into oblivion, hun," Matsumoto said taking a drink from her sake, "Once in a while we need a little celebration," she said smiling.

"You're life is always a celebration, Rangiku and you never take your work seriously," Hitsugaya-taicho said making L chuckle.

"Hey! I do take my work seriously….it's just that sometimes is such a bore," she pouted and kept drinking.

"Hey Ryuuzaki! I'll give you a tip about Mayuri!" said a drunken eight division captain, "Never get on his bad side….he has some weird hobby of putting…..bombs into his subordinates…..not pretty," he said with a goofy grin.

"Why the hell are you smiling?" Nanao said glaring at him, "That's far from funny!"

"NANA-CHAN!!" Kyoraku said throwing himself on her but only to be kicked away by the irritated woman. L had always thought it interesting the relationship these two had. He was always such an eccentric person yet she could easily deal with him. A few punches added.

Momo giggled and smiled at Ryuuzaki, "Did they give you an officer seat?" she asked curiously.

"Fourth," Ryuuzaki said softly. Momo had always been such a kind girl and she always came to him for advice.

"That's good! Kurotsuchi-taicho must like you then," Renji Abarai said with a wide grin, "Man, I wish Rukia was here," he said smiling lightly. L remembered Rukia from the Thirteenth. She was somewhat like Momo, with a little more spunk. But ever since Lieutenant Kaien's death….

"She got sent to the human world didn't she?" L asked Renji.

"Yeah, I'm just worried because she hasn't returned yet," Renji said seriously.

L watched as the red-headed shinigami downed down a shot and sighed. Renji was such a complicated person. People didn't notice but L did. Put between his captain and his best friend, who are both from the Kuchiki clan, trying to live up to his captain's standards and overworking himself to the point of 

exhaustion. He fought against the idea of being lowly, of being weak, and this was only making him physically weaker.

L's wide eyes looked around the room. It seemed to have been filled with new shinigami. Graduates maybe. They probably knew about the three captains and thought it their chance to impress or to talk to them. He watched as the shinigami interacted with each other, laughing and drinking. He didn't know what to call these people. Friends? Associates? He didn't know. He never felt like he would ever find a true friend. Well, he had found a true friend….

"Ryuuzaki-san," the usually nervous Izuru said his name softly. He was sitting besides Shuuhei who was holding one of his hands. Holding hands? This was interesting, "People say that you are one of the few shinigami who remembers his past…..do you mind if I ask about yours?" he asked shyly.

L's eyes widened in surprise, "Why?" he said.

"Well…um….I've always thought it interesting…I studied the Dark Years when I was in the Academy and it named you," he said softly, "And when I met you" he chuckled nervously, "I was really excited because….you where like a hero to me,"

L listened to what Izuru had to say, his dark blank eyes looking at the wood of the bar. This man thought of him as a hero? It didn't fit him. That word didn't fit him. He blinked and then looked up at Izuru, "You have the same name of the man that killed me," he said softly. This made Izuru tense. He looked away from L in nervousness.

"Hey, you don't have to be saying those things to him!" Shuuhei said back at L.

"I'm not saying it to make you feel bad, Izuru, I'm just stating the facts," he said softly, "Kira was like a virus that took over an innocent man and made him into a monster," he said softly. He brought his thumb to his lips and began to nibble on the skin, "That man was my friend and he betrayed me, and killed me," he said bluntly.

Izuru listened intently at what he had to say, "But….why do you say that? That Kira was a virus?" the blond asked.

L stayed quiet for what seemed like a long second, "Because it was…...in the books that we have here, in the records of what shinigami called The Dark Years of Kira, they say that he was a horrible murderer who strived to be a God." He said sternly, "I've read all of those books and they never mentioned anything on the boy he once was….I never knew anything on the boy he once was….Kira was evil, Light Yagami wasn't," he said.

"Light Yagami? Was that the man who was Kira?" Izuru asked.

"That was the man who was corrupted by Kira," he said scowling, "He truly wasn't Kira…..there was a point in time where I saw his real self….unfortunately it was only part of his plan to kill me,"

With those last few words, L made Izuru stay quiet. The blond shinigami seemed to be pondering about everything he had said. Then L noticed that he had not only attracted Shuuhei's attention while saying his story, but Renji's, Momo's, and Hitsugaya's.

And someone else's.

"What a lovely story, Ryuuzaki,"



L's dark eyes widened as he felt chills running up his spine. His hands became fists and his back hunched even more. That feeling of unprecedented pure evil was back. He looked over his shoulder at the man who had entered the bar, followed by two others.

"C-captain Aizen!!" Momo said nervously. She went over to her captain's side smiling meekly, "Ryuuzaki-kun is leaving to join Kurotsuchi-taicho and his division….so Rangiku threw a big party,"

"Is that so? I would have loved to have such a bright shinigami in my division," Aizen said with an innocent smile and patting Momo's head. The girl blushed. God. How could she stand the surge of evil energy that flowed through him. L glared at him. He'd rather choose Kurotsuchi over Aizen any day.

"A party hmm?" Gin Ichimaru's fox-like grin widened, "Why wasn't I told?" he said chuckling.

"It was in such a short notice, Ichimaru-taicho," Izuru said nervously. L noticed that he had let go of Shuuhei's hand as soon as Gin walked in. Tousen also walked in and walked over to Shuuhei's side. The scarred shinigami gave him a timid look and then looked down at his glass.

Why was it that these three ranking lieutenants could be so easily fooled by these men? L scowled and stood up from the stool, "I have to go outside," he simply stated.

"Oh, may I talk to you Ryuuzaki?" Aizen said placing a hand on L's shoulder. He tensed up immediately and looked at him. Those dark brown eyes, hidden behind the thick glasses that served him like a mask, they didn't fool him. He could see the pure wickedness in them.

L nodded and walked outside, away from the festivity, away from the people, and alone with the number one man that he didn't trust. L knew he was more evil than Kira himself.

"What did you need to—" his words were cut short as the man's hand was around his through in the blink of an eyes. L struggled and tugged at the hand finding it hard to breath.

"You are the only person besides my subordinates who are not under my spell," he growled at him, "Let me warn you, L, I will not hesitate on killing you if you tell a soul…..it wouldn't work anyways," he said grinning maliciously, "I would just hypnotize them into thinking you are crazy," he chuckled.

"Y-you…." L struggled to speak as sweat began to run down his face, "What….have you done….with Light…." He groaned.

Aizen gave him a blank look and then grinned, "Oh…I can't tell you that," he teased.

"Aizen!" L growled, glaring at his superior.

"Aizen-sama?"

The both of them looked to the side as Momo stood there looking at them. She had a blank stare at first but then she smiled, "Are you two coming in? Rangiku-san says we should make some cheers," she said timidly.

Aizen smiled at her, "Yes, we'll be right in," he said softly, the mask of the innocent man showing.

What?! Didn't she see that he was in trouble?! L growled, "What did you do to her?" he whispered.

Aizen chuckled, "She can't see the real picture, L," he said softly, "Her eyes are under my spell," he smiled at L and leaned forward, "You know very well that staying here won't find you any answers…." He 

whispered in the other's ears, "I'm sure he's waiting, L…..but nothing will happen if you stay here with these….how should we call them…..mongrels," he whispered.

"What are you saying?" L asked glaring at him.

Aizen smiled loosening his hold on his neck, "Straight to the point I see," he said chuckling wickedly, "I want you to join me,"

L's eyes widened as he heard the man's words. Join him? In what? What was he planning and what part did L have in this. Thoughts of theories came rushing to his head. A sabotage, treason, would he kill General Yamamoto? This man was capable of anything, he was sure of it, but what? That was always the question. What? What? What?

L's eyes narrowed, "No….I don't trust you, I will never trust you," he said slapped Aizen's hand away. He walked away and the other man did not do anything but L knew that he was smiling as he walked away. He also felt the riatsu of his two fellow captains, watching as he left. What did they want from him?

From the shadows, a quiet Rukongai boy watched as the man with dark hair walked away from the man with the glasses. The pale eyes blinked softly and his small hands held on to the windowsill. His hands tightened, "L….it's you,"

YESH!! So chapter three is finished. I'm so happy, this is the longest chapter by far. The little boy at the end is someone that you guys have to know!! Send me guesses send me guesses!! Okay, when Yachiru calls L Baggy-chan is because of his eyes, the black-bags, I thought it was a cute name.

I used Isshin to be the shinigami that saves L because I thought it would be cool. Since the souls are sent to the Rukongai, L didn't really get to see Isshin leave to the human world and it'll be cool when they see each other again.

I've decided to make Mello and Matt vizards. I think that people don't put a lot of importance into the vizards and I really like them! Along with half of the characters in Bleach. Don't you notice that you can never have one favorite character in Bleach? It's just physically impossible because there are so many cool ones. You need it to vary.

God!! I f&ing hate Nnoitora!! JEZUSS!! HE GET's ON MY NERVES SO BADLY!! And I've found out that Szayel is unbearably creepy.

Today I bought the Kerli CD!! Im so happy, and I also bought an L shirt along with one of those flimsy awesome scarfs they have now. The ones with the pointy end and they look all bohemian and crap and they are amazing!! I also bought two other shirts that aren't really important.
