Okay, here's another chapter.

Chapter 2-Awakening

Where am I? was the first question that ran through his mind. His eyes were closed. He hated it for it made him feel vulnerable, which was why he had trained himself to sleep with his eyes open. I died... He was sure of it. He remembered the agonizing pain in his chest, falling onto the ground, unable to speak, Light smiling as he died. His eyes shot open. He was definately in a coffin, a wooden one. This doesn't make any sense, I died, how can I be...no, this must be a dream... But it was no dream, for it seemed too real to be one. Slowly, he lifted his arms up and pushed the lid off. He sat up and the first thing he felt was the cold rain pounding on his head. He looked up and saw a girl standing a few yards away from him, her back facing him.

For a second, he thought she was normal, but then he noticed the gigantic white wings on her back. Wings? She then turned around and faced him. He realized that she was not a girl, but a young woman, possibly in her early twenties, she just happened to be rather short, around 5'3. Her skin was almost white, her hair was white. She wore a simple white dress, no shoes and she was carrying a white handbag. What startled him the most were her eyes. They were a pale, icy blue. She's blind. But then he realized that she may not be blind, since she was looking right at him, even though to him, it felt like she was looking at his soul.

"I see you are awake, L Lawliet." She said in an almost monotone voice. He stared at her in shock.

"How did you know?" he asked her.

"Know what?"

"My name, my real name, how did you know it?"

"I know many things, L." She stared at him. Once again, he thought she was looking at his soul. Those eyes...I've seen them before...

"Are you blind?" he asked her, for it was difficult for him to tell since she had the eyes of a blind person, but she was looking at him as if she wasn't blind at all.

"Perhaps when I was a human, I was, but no, I am not blind, I can see you clearly." When she was a human?

"What are you?"

"I am what is known as an enzeru."

"You mean an angel?"

"That's the more common name, but yes, if you want to put it that way."

"Why did you bring me back?"

"Because, you're the only one who knows the truth about the second L."

"The second L? You mean to tell me Light replaced me?! How long have I been dead?"

"Four years."

"Why wasn't I brought back sooner?"

"There are different rankings for enzerus. Those of the highest rank are allowed to revive the dead, others at lower ranks supposedly can't, but that is obviously wrong since I was able to bring you back without any problems, but to make sure, how do you feel?"

"Fine, a little stiff, though, and my back itches."

"Your back itches?"

"Yes." he said as he stretched his arm over his shoulder to scratch it. He then felt two lumps on his back. At first he thought it was bone, but they were too soft to be bone. The enzeru stared at him for a moment.

"Akira, could you take off your shirt?" He looked up at her in shock of what she had just said.

"You want me to take off my shirt?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"You'll see in a moment." He sighed and took it off. A pair a large white wings unfolded from his back. "Damn it." she muttered under her breath

"Is something wrong?" he asked, still unaware of his wings. A feather fell infront of his face. He turned his head and was surprised to see a large pair of white wings sprouting from his back.

"It seems I have somehow made you part enzeru." L still stared at his wings. "You're not mad at me, are you?"

"Mad? Not necessarily." he said as he continued to stared at them. "Actually, I kind of like them." The enzeru then walked over to him and picked up the shirt. She then took out a knife that she had kept in the handbag and cut two slits in the back of his shirt and then dropped it on his legs. "Thank you." he said calmly as his wings folded back. He then put his shirt back on. His wings spread out again through the slits. He stood up and faced her. "So now what?"

"You're the only one who knows that Light Yagami is Kira. Of course, there is Near."

"Near?"

"He's from the orphanage in England that Watari founded. The one that was founded to determine who your sucessor would be. Near is part of an organization called SPK. They've been investigating the Kira case. Near already suspects that Light is Kira, but he has no evidence. If we find Near, we can surely bring Kira, or should I say Light Yagami, to justice. Besides, Near's probably the only one we can go to anyways, since most of the world is on Kira's side."

"I remember who Near is, Watari told me about him. Finding Near shouldn't be too hard. But convincing him that I'm the real L, would."

"I doubt it, since he knows about you're death." She then turned away from him as if she was going to fly off. "Do you have any idea where he might be?"

"New York. But before we go anywhere, I would like to know your name." She turned her head towards him.

"My name is Rin."

"Nice to meet you, Rin."

I had to do some thinking on this one, hope I didn't make L OOC, I was trying not to, but I fear I did. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Unfortunately, this Sunday my family and I will be leaving for the beach and staying there for 2 weeks and I will have very limited access to a computer, cause it won't be mine, it'll be my older cousin's laptop. But I will start working on the next chapter as soon I get back. Review if you wish.
