Psychic Detective Yakumo

& Death Note Crossover

Halfway Gone

Ah! It's good to be back! It took me such a long time to update, huh?

Please forgive me! I promise to update my other stories as soon as possible!

I have been so busy lately! Then I was having trouble thinking of a plot for this chapter. No matter what I brainstormed, the story would always turn out to be lovey dovey. I really want to stay on topic, but there will be romance between Yakumo and Haruka, though. ^_^

I'm sorry about the story length! I hope this chapter meets your expectations!

Please feel free to comment and give me any suggestions before I go on with the story.

Halfway gone

Chapter 4- The Alliance

Light Yagami stepped into headquaters as he received glares from everyone inside. Without any hesitation, he headed towards the computer and sat down. Next to him, L stared at him with suspicious and keen eyes. Light brushed his hair with his hands while he took a sip of coffee he had bought in a nearby Cafe. The flavor of caffeine ran through his tongue as sugar cubes dissloved in L's mouth.

"Light?" Ryuzaki suddenly said, disturbing the silence that had been creeping around the room. Everyone was so busy to even talk to each other. "There is something that I must inform you."

Light grinned to himself while he silently turned his head to L. Stuffing his teacup with sugar cubes, L began to slowly stir his tea with a silver spoon. Then he took the spoon out and placed it on the table. He immediately grabbed his fork and began to eat a piece of cheesecake. L licked his lips as he savored his dessert.

"What is it?" Light responded quite calmly.

Before answering Light's question, L took a sip of tea. "I have sent Aizawa and Mogi over to Misa Amane's apartment. If you haven't noticed, my suspicious of you being Kira have increased again." L took a bite of cheesecake as he waited for Light's reaction.

Light sighed with annoyance and frustration. He didn't understand why L suspected them again. To Light, it didn't matter what L thought as long as he stayed out of his way. Right now, Light was focused in something else.

He was focused on someone else.

"Ryuzaki! When are you going to let that topic go? How many times do I have to tell you? Misa and I have nothing to do with Kira." Light suddenly snapped. He had to play along with L's plans. He didn't want to dissapoint L.

L showed no emotion as he heard Light's words. Simply and quietly, he responded, "We will see if what you say is true." Light shook his head and faced the computer screen again.

Licking his fingers, L stared at Light. He was sitting in front of the computer screen, looking at the recent deaths that have occurred in the past few hours. More than 30 crimminals had been killed and each of them had been jail for a couple of months. After placing his fork on top of his plate, L took the last sip of tea. Soichiro had told him once that he was just suspecting Light because there was no one else to suspect. Soichiro wanted to convince not only L, but himself that Light wasn't Kira. Ryuzaki knew that Soichiro was wrong. There was just too much evidence that Light was Kira.

Light struggled to keep his laughter inside his body. He couldn't believe what an idiot Ryuzaki really was. Light had no doubt what L was planning. L didn't even suspect that he was already a step in front of him. This wasn't the frst time L had ordered to search Misa's apartment. Light knew that this was going to happen again, so he had warned Misa about it. Just yesterday, Light had given Misa specific instructions.

"Misa, I have something to ask of you."

Misa stood quiet. She usually doesn't hear Light so serious. "Anything for you, Light."

"Good. Listen to me very carefully."

"Okay." Misa responded quietly. She didn't know what Light was up to, but she knew that whatever he was doing was to protect her. Misa gripped on her cellphone as she heard Light breathe on the other side of the line. If she had never found the Death Note, Light would have never noticed her. She was so happy that she was useful to him. Even though sometimes he was mean to her, Misa loved Light Yagami with all her heart. She hoped that one day, her name would change to Misa Yagami.

"I want you to give up possesion of the Death Note." Light suddenly said, snapping Misa from her thoughts and dreams. "Then, I would like you to ask Rem to continue eliminating crimminals."

Instead of questioning him, Misa agreed to everyting that came out of his mouth. "Yes, Light. I will."

Light exhaled. He didn't expect less from Misa. She always obeyed him. "Ryuzaki is probably planning on searching your apartment. Even if you did hide the Death Note, it would still be pretty risky. I don't want you spilling any information."

"I would never do that, Light!"

"It doesn't matter. It's safer this way." Light said as he shut his phone.

"Fine." Light finally said as he threw his empty paper cup of coffee away in a nearby trash can. "Do what you want. Either way, you're not going to find anything out of the ordinary."

After couple of minutes of silence, Light stood up and walked toward the window. He pulled the window's curtains open while he scanned the city that stood in front of him.

Light looked at all the buildings and streets that surrounded him. There were many people walking below as they went about their busy lives. Ever since he had received the role of Kira, the world had slowly started to become peaceful. Crimminals feared Kira. They don't want to be seen or heard. This was exactly what Light wanted. The early sun hit Light's face as he exhaled with triumph.

Unfortunately, there were many people that didn't view Kira's motives good. It didn't matter to Light who those people were. Anyone that goes against Kira will eventually come across their death. Light grinned to himself. As soon as he sends L to his grave, he will become god of the new world.

Light continued to scan the buildings, until one of them caught his attention. It was the apartment building of that girl with the pink hair. Anger started to swell up in Light's veins as he clenched his fists. He had to kill them. He had to kill that girl and that bastard! They both knew that he was Kira and some how, Misa wasn't able to see his name. Now, Light needed to find a way to discover that girl's name.

"Light?" Someone said from behind Light's back. "What's wrong?" Light turned his head to find Matsuda standing right in front of him.

That girl knew Matsuda.

"Nothing. I'm just frustarted. Being accused of Kira is getting me annoyed." Light replied cooly as he let go of the window's curtains.

What connection could that girl have with Matsuda? Did they know each other? It was very unlikely that they were still seeing each other since Matsuda didn't even reconize her voice. If they weren't seeing each other, it seemed quite strange that she knew Matsuda's current cellphone number. Light knew that at some point, those two were friends.

"Ah! Don't tell me! L thinks you're Kira." Matsuda stated as he gave L a frown. Ryuzaki said nothing as he continued to devour his mouthwatering dessert.

"Yup. That's pretty much it." Light responded, shurging his sholders in a lazy manner. "I don't know why he keeps suspecting me."

Matsuda smiled cheerfully, patted Light's back, and said, "Ah, Light. Don't worry about it. When the truth is revealed, I'm sure your name will come out clean."

Light smirked to himself, then he started walking towards the coat hanger. It was so amusing how everyone in the headquarters trusted him so much. They had no idea what the future held in store for them. When he would finally become the god of the new world, he would kill them all. He picked up his brown coat and tossed it over his sholders. Then he turned his back to everyone in the headquaters and started to walk towards the door.

"Light, where are you going?" His father asked, looking up from some paper documents that were lying on the table.

Light checked his watch, it was about to be 11 a.m. "I'm going to go check on Misa. She is probably terrified from having Mogi and Aizawa around." Light lied as he walked out, with his mind on that girl.

Why couldn't he get her out of his mind?

"Haruka-chan? Where are you going?"

Haruka flinched as she turned to see her mother who was standing in the kitchen. She had a pink apron on that had a cute yellow paw print on the right left corner. In one hand she held a spoon while the other hand had a pan. Her mother was washing the dirty dishes that had been left from breakfast. Haruka smiled to her mother while she adjusted her shoe on her right foot.

"I'm going to see Yakumo-kun." Haruka replied, grabbing her purse that hung on the hanger.

"Oh, I see! Well, be safe!" Her mother said with a smile. "I'm so glad I came over for a visit." Haruka gave her mother a big warm hug. "I'm also glad you came, mother. I'm glad we can spend some time together."

When Haruka saw her mother's face, her smile had faded away. Her mother was staring at her while her finger tips glided through her cheeks. "Haruka-chan? What's wrong? Have you been crying?" Her mother asked with a voice full of concern and worry as she looked at Haruka's red and puffy eyes.

"H-ha! N-nothing's wrong! I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Haruka stuttered, trying to avoid anymore contact with her mother.

"Are you sure? Your eyes they're-"

"Oh! My eyes? Y-yeah! When I took a shower this morning, shampoo accidentlly fell into my eyes. It stung really badly, but they feel better now. Don't worry about it." Haruka said, interupting her mother's statement.

"Oh. I see." Haruka's mother said. She knew Haruka was lying to her, but she couldn't force her daughter to tell her the truth.

"Anyways, I should get going. I'll be back in a little while!" Haruka exclaimed as she shut the door.

Her mother stood motionless in the kitchen. She took off her apron and placed it on the kitchen counter. It really dissapointed her as a mother that she couldn't help her daughter when she needed her the most.

Haruka pulled on her green scarf while the chilly breeze hit her face. It was about to be noon and the sun was still weak. Think grey clouds had begun too gather together, blocking the sun's rays. She began to shiver since the sun didn't warm her at all. Gripping on her purse, Haruka saw a police cars at a distance. They were in front of a store.

Then Haruka's horrible memories came flushing back to her. Her breathe and heart pulse began to increase with rapid speed while her palms started to sweat. That store was were she met Kira. The police probably found the bodies with dry red blood all over them. Kira had made one of the men kill the other. After killing his partner, the man died of a heart attack. Haruka clenched her fists as her tears ran down her cheeks. Shocked, she ran away from the scene.

They died because of her! It was her fault those men died last night! Haruka stopped running as she stood in front of bus stop. She had also disobeyed Yakumo after he had told her not to go near Light or Misa Amane. He told her how dangerous it was to be around them and yet, she didn't listen. She had betrayed Yakumo. How was she ever suppose face him? Would he hate her?

Haruka whiped her tears with her hand and decided to keep walking. Even if he would hate her forever, she had to tell Yakumo-kun what had happened. She had to tell him what she had done. It broke her heart to realize that Yakumo might hate her after that. She had finally felt a deep connection starting to develop between them.

Even though the 'don't walk' sign popped up, Haruka kept walking toward the street. As her foot was about to step out of the sidewalk, someone pulled her back. She was about to be hit by a speeding car.

Snapping from her thoughts, Haruka quickly pulled her hand from the person that held her since she feared that person was Kira. She quickly closed her eyes and waited for the worse to happen.

"Haruka-chan! Calm down!"

Slowly opening eyes, she looked at the person in front of her. It was Ishii. He was looking at her with a strange face. He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he could tell right away that she was scared of somethng. "What's wrong, Haruka-chan?" He asked with a tint of curiousity.

Haruka placed her hand in her chest as she took a deep breathe. With a smile, she turned to face Ishii. "Nothing. You startled me. That's all."

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Ishii quickly replied.

"No. Thank you for saving me. I was about to be hit by a car." Haruka said as she looked at Ishii with a grateful smile. Akwardly, Ishii blushed while he turned away from Haruka, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, yeah. You're welcome!"

"So what are you up to?" She suddenly asked.

"Nothing really. I've been pretty bored lately. Detective Gotou doesn't come by the office anymore." Ishii admitted quite sadly. "I guess he really doesn't need my help."

Haruka didn't say anything, but she understood Detective Gotou's motives. He didn't want tell Ishii about the Kira case because he didn't want to put him in any danger. Detective Gotou didn't want Ishii to be involved in something so dangerous. Ishii still didn't have a lot of experience as a detective to face Kira. He wasn't physically or mentally prepared for the Kira Case.

"Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine." Haruka assured him.

"I hope so." Ishii commented. "Anyways, what were you doing?"

Suddenly, a struck of panic hit Haruka. She had completely forgotten that she was suppose to meet Yakumo. She had been so lost in her thoughts. "I was going to go over to Yakumo's place." She replied.

Blushing, Ishii said, "Do you want me to walk you?"

Haruka smiled. "No, it's alright. I can walk on my own."

"Well, okay then. Be careful. Don't get runned over by a car." Ishii finally said as he turned around and started walking away in the opposite direction that Haruka was walking. She stood still as she watched him leave. Then she began to walk again.

After walking for a minute or so, Haruka suddenly stopped. She stood still, without moving. Then she slowly turned her head. There was no one behind her. She took a deep breathe as she grabbed the necklace Yakumo had given her. She could have sworn that someone was following her. Haruka shrugged her sholders and continued to walk. She was starting to imagine things. She had slept very little during the night since she had been thinking about the events that had occured. Maybe, her lack of sleep was causing her to have illusions. Eventually, she cried herself to sleep and that was why she woke up with red and puffy eyes, but she couldn't tell her mother that. Haruka didn't want her mother to worry.

Haruka stood infront of the university, but then she continued to walk as the clouds continued to gather. Yakumo was probably fast asleep inside his research club.

Little did she know that something was following her.

…

"Yakumo-kun?" Haruka said as she peeked inside Yakumo's club. "Yakumo-kun? Are you here?" After receiving no response, she decided to walk right inside. She looked around and spotted Yakumo laying down in the sofa. His head was facing the window so Haruka couldn't see if he was asleep or not. She began to walk toward him. "Yakumo? Are you asleep?"

That voice always annoyed him. There was never a day were he could be alone and at peace. If she wasn't here, Gotou was. Yakumo decided to ignore her. Maybe, after a while, she would get tired of waiting for him and she would go home. It was very unlikely that would ever happen. She was stuck to him like glue.

"Yakumo-kun?" She insisted. "There is something very important I need to tell you."

Those words caught Yakumo's attention. Yakumo slowly turned his body toward the ceiling and opened his eyes. Yawning, he slowly leaned forward and sat up. He looked at Haruka as she stared straight at him. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Haruka eyes started get teary. She faced the ground so Yakumo wouldn't see her eyes ready to burst in tears. How could she tell him? How should she start?

There was defintely something wrong with her, but Yakumo didn't know what. She was usually happy and full of energy. Today, she was the complete opposite of herself. Looking at her, Yakumo saw a tear run down her cheek. For some strange reason, Yakumo's heart pulse increased. It hurt him to see Haruka so sad.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Yakumo suddenly burst out, startling Haruka.

Haruka nodded. "Yes, but first you have to promise me something."

Yakumo sighed as he placed his hand on his hair and patted it down. He had no idea what Haruka was going to tell him, but he knew for a fact that it wasn't good news. If she had something good to say, she would have said it sooner and she would also have a sweet smile on her pretty face. Yakumo quickly shook his thoughts away. What in the world was he thinking? Did he just think Haruka was pretty?

"Fine." Yakumo finally agreed. "So what do you want?"

Haruka shook her head. "Yakumo, promise me that you won't get mad."

Yakumo didn't say anything as he stared at something in shock.

"Yakumo-kun? Do you promise me?" Haruka asked again, but Yakumo wasn't listening to her. He was staring at something that was behind her. She turned her head and looked in Yakumo's direction, but she didn't see anything. Was Yakumo staring at the door? At the wall? Suddenly, Yakumo stood up and pulled Haruka next to him.

Blushing, Haruka looked at Yakumo. "Yakumo-kun? What's wrong?" Yakumo wasn't listening to her. He kept staring at the door, with a shocked face and wide eyes. He didn't move a muscle until he slowly grabbed Haruka's hand. She looked in Yakumo's direction, but she couldn't see anything. Why did Yakumo look so scared?

Yakumo gripped on her hand as he seeked courage and strength from her. He could hear Haruka heart pulsing loudly. Breathing slowly, Yakumo tried to calm himself down. He wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Yakumo was determined to protect her from anyone and anything.

"What do you want from us, shinigami?"

Light Yagami kept walking down the street even though it was really crowded. He was getting closer and closer of fulfilling his desire to kill that bastard.

Rain clouds began to gather in the sky as a flash of lighting ran across the grey gloomy atmosphere. The wind began to pick up speed and the tempeture started to decrease. Light pulled his coat off his sholders and decided to wear it before the rain came. He began to increase his step so that the rain wouldn't catch him. Then as he turned the corner, he realized that the streets were empty. Light turned his head in all directions, but no one was in sight. It was quite strange since a couple of seconds ago the streets were packed with people. He stood in front of an old building that was going to be demolished soon. It creeked as the wind blew on it.

"Ryuuk?" Light asked, but to his surprisement, Ryuuk was also gone. He didn't notice Ryuuk leave and Ryuuk never told him that he was leaving. Light gripped his hands into fists. What hell was going on? After pondering for a couple of minutes, Light continued to walk until something stood in front of him.

Light stared at the man that stood in front of him. He had long silver hair and had shades covering his eyes. He wore a long cloak and had a mischevious smirk on his face. He stood still as he stared at Light. Neither of them moved. Then the man spoke. "So we finally meet, Kira."

Light showed no emotion. This man. How did he know? Light had never seen him in his life. One thing he knew for sure just by looking at him, that man couldn't be trusted.

"Come with me, Kira." He said as he suddenly vanished into thin air. Lighting flashed acrossed the sky and shortly afterwards, thunder roared. Light looked up at the sky. Then on top of the building, he spotted the man with the silver hair. Without a moment of hesitation, Light ran inside the old deserted building. He found the stairs and started running up.

He didn't know what that man wanted with him, but he had figured out something. That man wasn't human.

When he finally reached the top, Light opened the door that led outside. Trying to catch his breathe, Light saw the man standing in front of him. He was facing the sky, smirking to himself. "Kira, you made it."

Light didn't say anything as he gripped on a piece of the Death Note. If it became nesessary, he would kill the man that stood in front of him. Even though he didn't know his name, Light would find some way to revael it.

The man began to chuckle while he turned his body to face Light. "No matter how many times you write my name in the notebook, I won't die." He said with victorious laugh.

"Why?" Light asked. This man could read his mind?

He stopped laughing, but continued to smirk. "I won't die because I am already dead."

Light was surprised. He wasn't expecting that answer. "So what does a spirit want with me?" Light asked, hoping to receive a quick response.

The man made no movement. "Kira, I am not asking to be enemies."

Light crossed his hands. "I understand. You need something from me, right?" Light asked. It was the only logical explanation he could up with. If this was a spirit that wanted revenage, it probably would have killed him already, unless he wanted to torture him to death. Light never remembered killing a man that looked like him.

"As a matter of fact, I need a favor from you, Kira."

Light started to laugh sarcasticly. "Why don't you do it yourself? You are a spirit after all."

"I would do it myself, but you will also receive some benefit and entertainment from this." The man's words caught Light's attention. "What do you mean?"

"Help me send Yakumo Saitou to despair."

"Yakumo Saitou?" Light said as he lifted his eyebrow.

"My blood runs through Yakumo Saitou's body and you know him." The man said as he placed his fingers on his dark shades. When the man finally took off his shades, Light stood in surprisement as he stared at his red eyes.

A grin of evil formed on Light's face.

Yakumo Saitou was the guy with the red left eye.

Finally. He was going to receive the pleasure of killing him. The moment that he had been waiting was just within in his reach. First, Light would send Yakumo to despair and misery just like the spirit told him to. Then, he would kill him. After Yakumo was gone, it will be Ryuzaki's turn to die. "Tell me. How do I send Yakumo Saitou to 'despair'?"

"Kill Haruka Ozawa."

Thank you for reading for reading my story!
