A/N: Ok, I think this will be a yaoi, just because I don't know how to thicken the plot WITHOUT making it a yaoi…

Plus, I want L to bite Light =] lol sorry for my little spoiler. You don't have to worry, though, because that won't be for a while. . .

Omg O.O L really hates humans. It's like, NOT L ANYMORE. Sorry fans, I love old L too.

L watched as the man who called himself Shoichiro Yagami walked into the police headquarters. Of course, the headquarters were a giant building, completely conspicuous to anyone walking down the street. It didn't help the matter that Yagami flashed his police badge to anyone that asked. L had been hoping this would be somewhat more of a challenge, but hey, what should he expect from people? The younger man watched from a park bench as the police officer walked into the building. The raven haired vampire wasn't sure if Shoichiro Yagami was the leader or not, but he wanted to find out somehow. Looking into the window? No way, far too obvious – especially because headquarters for this case would probably be on another floor. There had to be some way... L just decided to wait and see who came out of that building.

Several hours had passed, and the sun was beginning to set. L pulled off the trench coat, hat and glasses he had put on to block the rays. He pulled the newspaper down from in front of his face when he heard some men chatting casually as they exited the building. The man that L had followed here was among them, along with a group of about six or seven others. All of the men were talking, except for one who was in the front. That one man was – not a man yet actually, he looked like he was still in high school! The boy had bronze hair, and his eyes were buried in a notepad, on which he was scribbling profusely. Suddenly, the bronze haired boy stopped and faced the others. He spoke, but since his back was to L, the man couldn't see what he had said. When he turned around again, the group behind him dissolved to go home; except for the boy, who stuck around just a few extra minutes to write something down. Now was L's chance. The only thing was – what would he say to the boy?

"L! There you are!" Matt exclaimed, jumping on L playfully from behind the bench. The older man yelled in surprise as he suddenly felt himself upside down on the sidewalk, knocked over by the sheer force of the other vampire. Matt was one of the newest vampires, though Near was the youngest, and he still had a lot to learn about his new strengths. L looked at the building from on his head, and noticed a pair of slightly curious eyes on him. He recognized those upside down eyes to be the high school boy he had watched come out of the building. Hesitantly, L smiled at this person, who in turn, made his way over to help.

"What happened?" He asked in concern. L couldn't help but feel like his pride had been reduced just a tiny bit. What could make this high school student think he, L, needed his help? He snarled, but it was so low that the boy didn't hear him. He did see the angered face on the older man, and took a half step back, mostly from the shock that look gave him. Then the boy watched the man flip over and jump to his feet so rapidly it looked inhuman.

Gasping, the bronze haired boy took another half step back.

That didn't stop the raven haired man. Standing, hunched over, he sought his chance. "Hello. I am L. Who are you?" L leaned into the teenager's face, making him feel uncomfortable, and though L could read his face, the boy still tried to hide it.

"I'm Light," Light replied, "Can I help you?" Light regained his composure from before, and began talking casually.

"Actually, you can," L lied, "Where are you headed? I'm trying to get somewhere, if you'd like to walk part of the way. I like having someone to talk with." L saw Light glance behind them to Matt. "Oh, he's not coming my way, we just ran into each other," L covered up smoothly. Turning, the man gave Matt a look to get out of there. Matt always followed orders, so reluctantly the redhead swerved and walked the other way. L looked back at Light. Though he was a boy, he was wearing a very professional looking business suit, tie and all, and had his hair combed nicely. L wondered vaguely if he had a girlfriend.

"Sure," Light said after a thought, "I am headed that way too. What do you want to talk about?" Looking the man up and down, he wondered why he would be talking to someone like him. He was probably just some weird guy who was in need of some money; this person calling himself L sure didn't look like he had many clothes. The ones he was wearing looked like they hadn't been washed for days, and there were lots of stains and holes in them. The man's hair was a slick black, messy and looked like it had been washed as much as his clothes. What if his friends from school saw him, like Shiori or Misa? Light quickly moved those names to the back of his mind. He wouldn't consider them his friends.

"Well, I saw you coming out of that building. Are you perhaps working on the case with that crazy murderer?"

"That's top secret," Light snapped back. Of course, this guy was probably only trying to be friendly to see what he knew about this kira case.

"Oh, I'm sorry," L replied softly, looking obviously offended by the boy's snide remark. Damn, he caught me. Looks Like I'll have to go a different way with this... "I just have a few suggestions. I have also been interested in this case from my home, and so today I just happened to run into you. How old are you, anyway? You look pretty young."

"I'm seventeen," The bronze haired boy said. He didn't really want to ask how old the man beside him was. L looked like he could be anywhere from twenty to twenty five. That was another thing Light noticed about this man was that though he was dressed horribly, and looked like he needed a bath, he was actually a good looking person. The man had the palest skin Light had ever seen, but he blamed it on the darkness – the milky white moonbeams seemed to be dancing on this man. His hair was jet black, balancing out his unusual pallor. He had deep circles under his eyes, but that didn't bother Light much.

"Oh, that's about what I had guessed," The man nodded knowingly. "So, the things about this case I'd like to throw out there are that you should get as many people as you can on this, then set up stations across Japan, since the killings aren't really ever in the same place… but this murderer goes back to the same areas…" L had trailed off, simply thinking aloud. He held his thumb up to his lip and chewed on the skin there for a minute, still in thought.

"He does?" Light questioned, breaking the raven haired man from his trance.

"Yes… haven't you noticed?" Light pulled out the same map he had shown the others, with the times and locations of the homicides. He hadn't seen any exact pattern, but as L pointed it out, Light realized that this man would be an excellent addition to their investigation team. He just wasn't sure how trustworthy this man was yet.

L hadn't noticed before, but as he looked up, he realized that the two had stopped walking completely, as they hunched over this map that Light was holding. Light, with his honey colored hair, and smooth face. L hastily looked back into the map, boring a hole through its surface so that he wouldn't have to look up again at the handsome boy. "We should move out of the middle of the street," L advised, and the two continued walking, carrying on a mild conversation all the way back to Light's house.

Maybe this guy wasn't so bad after all, Light thought as the two talked. Surprisingly, the bronze haired boy was really enjoying the conversation. In all honesty, Light wasn't fond of many people, and he defiantly didn't go out of his way to make friends. Shiori and Misa never could keep him entertained for too long, they were always too stupid for his liking. This man, however, had some kind of edge, as though he always knew what he was talking about. Well, this man was also right all the time…

Mikami watched from the bushes, this man stealing Light away from him. Didn't he know that Light would always be his? Who did he think he was?

"Hmm, that's interesting, L" He heard Light say. So this man calls himself L, I see… Well, L, I hope you like defeat. Mikami decided that this 'L' person was going to have hell to pay.

A/N: ok guys, how was that? Yayz! I just wrote my longest chapter on here! I think I'm pretty proud of it... =D
