Pairings: Raito/L, Muraki/Tsuzuki

Summary: Raito gained the death note and his mind is spinning with his feelings for L and a surprised visit from his past. Who will win? Who will die?

Notes: Thanks for the two comments for the story. I know it seems uninteresting at the moment but it does get better. Please read and comment. I love to read people thoughts on the story. Enjoy and comment.

L stood frozen as heard the words. Watari looked shocked. He turned to see hatred like never before rolling off of Raito. Why did it feel like his heart was hurting? Was he dying? Oriya took a step forward toward Raito. This made no sense to his mind, leaving him frozen in his orders.

Oriya growled, "Say it. Claim it and I will walk you out of here."

Raito laughed coldly, "I will never claim it. Never again. I hate him."

Rem hissed loudly, "I should kill you where you stand Raito Yagami."

L watched as Raito showed no fear to his life. It made no sense. Everything was spinning in his head. He finally ordered, "Watari take Yagami-kun down to the cell."

Raito sighed, "Piece of advice, do not go after Misa or Rem will kill you."

L glared to hiss, "That is how you plan to end me."

"Love is foolish. It does not exist," Raito said instead of answering.

L froze as he felt lips against his. They were rotten and cold, lifeless. Raito pulled back, giving a bitter look. He ordered, "Call in the task force." Watari nodded his head as Raito walked out without saying another word. L looked at Oriya who was staring out the window, frozen in his spot. He had questions. He asked, "What are really doing here?"

Oriya sighed, "Trying to save a soul, who will never take my help."

L walked to his desk. His heart was racing. It was hurting him. Rem glared at him, swearing to end his life if he made a wrong move. He jumped to his seat, hunched over. Why did Raito confess? Raito was winning. It made no sense. He stared at the man to see him silent and tense.

It took an hour to get everyone inside. They were all looking at him like he was some kind of savior. He was not. The case interested him. Nothing else really mattered. He leaned his head back, staring at the ceiling. Raito ran him through the works.

Yagami spoke, "Where is Raito?"

When Watari walked into the room, L answered, "In the holding cell."

Everyone yelled at once, "WHAT!?"

L did not look at them as he revealed, "Yagami-kun confessed. Yagami-kun is Kira. And Misa-chan is the second Kira."

Rem growled, "Anyone goes after Misa and I will kill you."

Yagami growled, "It can't be."

Oriya chuckled bitterly in his seat. L turned to look at the man, stating, "I think it is time to come clean, Oriya-san."

"There is nothing I can say," Oriya replied.

L asked, "Who is coming after Kira?"

Oriya turned to look at him, sighing, "It does not matter. This is his battle and his pride will let no one else in it."

L stood up with a glare, ordering, "You will tell us." Everyone was silent. Everyone was lost. He felt it too. He was truly hoping he was wrong about the case even though he knew he was right.

Oriya turned away from his stare, looking straight ahead, "He gained the attention of those not of this world." The man paused, laughing, "Ah, he is truly no different than Muraki. He had the same look Muraki did for years. Death and madness."

Rem spoke, "I do not know how he would know a demon like Muraki."

"He didn't know him for long. I told you just a lost soul trapped by Muraki," Oriya replied.

Yagami sat in his seat, mumbling between his hands, "What do you mean, Oriya-san?"

Oriya looked at him for a second before sighing, "If you want to meet death, Muraki was it. I knew his hatred and rage. I was trapped by Muraki. Muraki was death itself and he played the game well."

Aizawa growled, "Makes it sound like he was a criminal."

Oriya laughed bitterly, "He was far worse than any criminal you faced. Muraki was truly a murderer with no feeling who he destroyed."

Matsuda asked in shock, "Why didn't Raito kill you?"

L tilted his head, seeing Oriya give off a smile. He looked at Yagami who still held his head in his hands. It was an interesting question to bring up.

Oriya answered, "The same reason Muraki never did. I can clean up their mess if they so desire it." Everything froze as Oriya spoke again, "I was wondering when you would come, Shinigami."

L turned his head to see a tall man with brown hair and purple eyes. He asked, frozen on the spot, "How did you get in here?"

The man sighed, "My name is Tsuzuki Asato."

Watari asked with a glare, "How did you get in here?"

Tsuzuki ignored his caretaker, "I never thought to face Muraki ever again."

Oriya responded, "You are not. He is dead."

Tsuzuki tossed photos to their feet. L stared in shock as he saw crime scene of Misa. He whispered, "It can't be."

Tsuzuki announced, "Amane Misa is dead. I feel the next target to be Kira, himself."

Oriya stood up, walking to him. Oriya stared at the photos without showing an inch of emotion. L knew law should punish Raito but he refused to let him be murdered. He growled, "Who?"

Rem screamed, "NO! Misa! I will kill him! I will!"

Tsuzuki sighed, "You made so many problems. Giving a death note to a human only causes pain. Their living hell."

L stared at the room lit up in waves of colors. He took a step back as he saw Rem turn into dust. He stared at the man who was not something they could face. What was this man? What did he want with Raito? Everyone in the room held a look of shock, pain, and fear. He ordered, "Watari, get Raito out of here."

Oriya looked at Tsuzuki, replying, "Even the dead can return."

Raito sat in the cell, wondering if they were watching him. He closed his eyes, shutting the world out. He wondered if they would make a move on Misa. He was lost. He was damned. He had a trump card but he refused to use it. He wanted so much but so much to end. He could not end his lover and he hated it. He hated that love came.

"Love does not exist for us."

"Desire is all we will ever feel."

"Don't you see not even death can let us escape it."

"Light, run."

"Ah, my Light, you must leave."

"Death engulfs us."

"They have come for me at last."

"You are my weakness."

Raito felt the tears. He hated the man. He hated him with a passion. Rage was building inside of him. He rolled over, trying to forget his lessons. He had nothing. He heard the door and looked over to see L hunched over. There was stress in the man. He asked, annoyed, "What did Oriya do?"

L replied, "Misa-chan is dead."

Raito stared at the man without showing an emotion. L sighed and ordered him to come upstairs. Did the task force turn their backs on L? He walked in frozen in his tracks. Purple eyes stared at him deeply. He did not turn away from the look. The task force looked beaten. They look like they were ready to end his life where he stood. He asked coldly, "Why bring me up here, L? It is over. I confessed."

Yagami stood up, asking in a shout, "WHY!?"

Raito chuckled bitterly, "Criminals deserved to die. They all deserve to die."

L held up his hand and Oriya grabbed his dad before he went after him. Raito turned his head away from those sad eyes. He asked again, "Why did you bring me up here?"

Tsuzuki sighed, "Just a child."

L answered, "Misa-chan was murdered. Tsuzuki-san says the man responsible for it is after you next."

"Why care? I die anyways," Raito asked. He saw a flicker of emotion in those dark eyes. He didn't want anyone to know what was between him and L. Was it to save face to him or was it to save face of L? He turned away from those eyes. He couldn't stare in them. He asked, "Where is Rem?"

Tsuzuki answered, "I ended her."

Raito didn't look at the purple eyes. He walked to his seat and sat down. Oriya was still holding back his dad. He mumbled, "Who cares if someone is after my life?"

Tsuzuki snorted, "You do not know Muraki very well."

Everything froze as he sat there. His dad looked at him, opening his mouth. Oriya whispered something to his dad that made the mouth shut. He turned his chair around, turning his back on everyone. His heart was racing. The pain was real.

Matsuda whispered, "Raito said he was dead."

Tsuzuki asked, "How did you know him, kid?"

Oriya answered for him, "He was his doctor when he was a child."

Raito didn't say a word. L touched his shoulder and he felt the tension in him. L knew it was a lie. L knew there was more to the story. He could never reveal. He was a weakness. Instead, he ordered, "Let me see the crime scene."

Aizawa growled, "Why should we show you that?"

L sighed as he pulled up the information on the computer, stating, "Enough Aizawa-san. Enough everyone. Justice will be served."

Raito looked at the crime scene. He felt a little pull to see Misa's lifeless body. He shut it out quickly as he kept looking. It never bothered him to look. There was a message written in blood on the wall. He clicked on the picture enlarging it.

Kira, come out and play with a real killer.

Raito blinked his eyes. He glanced to Oriya who walked to his side. He did not open his mouth. He stared at the message as clear as day. He whispered, "A real killer, huh?"

Oriya touched his shoulder, replying, "I can help you."

"Do not want it and there is nothing you can do until I ask," Raito chuckled. L stared at him then at Oriya. There were questions in those eyes.

Tsuzuki sighed, "You are a child. You do not this man as well as you think you do. I swear to protect you."

Raito taunted, "You should not make promises you cannot keep." He closed his eyes, leaning his head back. He was only a weakness. He will always be. He hated the man.

Oriya growled, "Like you are not here to end Raito's life."

Raito hissed, "Back off Oriya. Death came for me and won." He felt Oriya's stare but he didn't open his eyes.

L sighed, "Everyone be careful, but return home for the moment."

Raito knew L was trying to get him alone. It seemed a pleasant idea at the moment. He opened his eyes to see purple eyes staring at him. The Shinigami walked to him and Oriya stood in his way. He asked, "Would you chose me over Muraki?" Everyone froze in place. Oriya turned his head to look at him. There were no emotions. He stated, "I do not want your help, Oriya. Now, I'm ordering you to get lost."

Yagami spoke, "I am not leaving my son at the moment."

L spoke, "I'm afraid you are. Everyone leave."

Oriya stared at him for a second, sighing, "I'm too caught into this to leave."

Matsuda asked, "Do you think Muraki would kill you?"

Tsuzuki hissed, "He will kill anyone in his way. He cares little for life."

Raito knew that was a lie. He closed his eyes, mumbling, "Everyone just get lost. I lost."

Aizawa asked, "Why?"

Mogi finally spoke, "You were winning. It makes no sense."

Raito sighed sadly, "I cared when I should never have." He stood up and walked out of the room with Watari following. He asked, "Am I meant to go back to the cell?"

Watari stared at him, stating, "L ordered me to take you to the room you shared with him."

Raito nodded his head as he headed in the direction of the room. It would seem a conversation would come up. What was the plans? What will happen? He cared when he shouldn't have. He entered, knowing the cameras were in the room. He flopped to the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Death was coming for him. He could take the help, but his pride was not letting him. Nonsense. The truth was he knew Oriya would die. Oriya was all he had of a past he tried to push away from him for years.

L walked in and asked, "Is Raito-kun okay?"

"No," Raito gave an honest answer and then asked, "Did they leave?"

L answered, "They were not happy about it but they did. Oriya went to his room, saying he is a target too. Tsuzuki-san said he'll watch out the building."

Raito sat up, grabbing L by the shirt. Before a word could escape, he sealed the lips, biting at them. He wanted anything but the pain. He could not fall. He could not be a weakness. L pushed him to the bed, holding his wrists down. Those dark eyes were trying to read him. He wanted to beg, but bit his lip.

L asked, "Why did Raito-kun confess?"

Raito laughed, "It bothers you that much. You won, L." L glared down at him and he flipped them over, staring down at L. He whispered, "I cared. I cared when I should never have."

L asked, "Does Raito-kun love me?"

Raito chuckled, "Love doesn't exist." He sealed the lips, feeling L flip them back over. L wanted answers but he did not want to answer. He groaned when the tongue thrust into his mouth. It was hot like he remembered when he forgot his memories. He arched his back as hips thrust down. He bit his lip as L started to lick his neck. It was a thrill to have his mind go blank.

L whispered into his ear, "Raito-kun is trying to forget something, trying to drown into something else."

"Shut up," Raito ordered as his shirt was toss over his head. Hands molded against his heated skin. He groaned, "L." It was working. The pain was disappearing. He felt the need to feel the pale skin. He pulled L up from his chest, taking off the white shirt. He groaned as he saw the pale skin. He could see scars on the man's chest, always wanting to know how they happened. He ran over them to see L staring at him without saying a word.

L grabbed his hands, sighing, "Raito-kun must tell me to save him."

Raito leaned up, kissing the lips, rubbing their cloth cocks together. He was not ready to reveal his truth to anyone. L pulled their clothes off and licked down to his chest. He ran his fingers through the black hair, pulling at it when a nipple was bitten and sucked. He bit his lip to stop the groan ready to escape. This was a strong desire. It was so strong he did not know how to control it. He was not taught how to.

L spoke as the lips moved down his body, "We should stop this."

"No," Raito whispered.

As L ran hands over his body, L asked, "Why does Raito-kun…"

"Light," Raito sighed.

L asked confused, "What?"

Raito grabbed L, rolling over, feeling the heat between their bodies. He whispered, "Call me Light." L kissed him as hands marked him, waking his entire body up. He didn't want to talk. He wanted to forget for a while. L flipped them over, grabbing something from the bed. He held his hands onto the bed as he felt slick fingers run across his hard cock down to his opening. L was staring at him again, trying to figure him out. He wanted to lose his control for a few moments. He wanted to stop from standing in control for the moment, but he wasn't going to voice it. He hissed and bit his lower lip as he felt two fingers inside of him.

L repeated himself, "We should not be doing this."

Raito hissed, "Shut up." I need this, he thought. Anything but what was coming his way. He wanted to take this with him until the end of time. L kissed him, distracting him from the fingers. The passion was strong. He saw passion in those dark eyes. He moaned without meaning to. The desire was too strong for him to hold back. When he wrapped his legs around L's thin waist, he ordered, "Do it already." He snapped his head back, eyes closing as he felt the thick cock slowly enter him. He wanted to yell that he wasn't weak, but it would be a lie. He was a weakness, always to be used for that. He gripped at the strong back as small thrusts started to make him feel pleasure than pain. Lips kissed him again. He grabbed the black hair as he felt the pale back. The pleasure was building. Would it have been different without his memories of the death note? What did L feel about coupling with a killer? He didn't have the answers. When a hand wrapped around, he snapped his eyes, seeing white stars behind his eyes. He came with a deep groan, "L."

L thrust inside a few times, whispering into his ear, "Light."

As they flopped to the bed, trying to catch their breath, Raito stared at the ceiling. Someone was coming for him. They wanted him dead. He has been dead for a while. The pain was the same. He did not say a word as L hunched into the bathroom. He did not say anything as L came out, cleaning him up. When L put on his pants and hunched sitting up in the bed, staring at him, he sighed. He turned his head to see those dark soulless eyes staring him down.

L asked, "Is Raito-kun okay?"

"No," Raito answered again. L tilted his head, studying him. He sighed, "Do not concern yourself over it. Death is waiting for me no matter what."

"Who is Muraki really?" L asked, biting the thumb.

Raito snorted, "A doctor I knew." L sighed, annoyed and he smirked. He closed his eyes to hear L get comfortable in the bed.

An hour later, Raito felt the heartbeat of his lover strong as he stared down at the peaceful expression from sleep. Did he look the same? He moved away from the bed, grabbing his clothes. As he was dressed, he walked through the halls. He closed his eyes as he stopped in front of one door. He raised his hand and knocked. Cameras were everywhere. It did not matter.

Oriya answered with a word, "Yes?"

Raito walked inside the room as Oriya followed with shutting the door behind him. He did not turn around, asking, "Are you willing to risk your life for me?"

Oriya answered, "Yes."

Raito turned around to see Oriya leaning against the wall, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He stared at the only one he could count on. He caved and ordered, "Go out there and find details about the killer."

"Why take my help now?" Oriya asked.

Raito chuckled, "L is my equal. I will only accept death by his hands and only I can kill him."

Oriya snorted, "You love him."
