Ch. 2 - Conflict

Wide, saucer-like pupils, black as coal and rimmed with signs that even in the afterlife the man wasn't getting much sleep, dug into Light's own eyes with an almost overwhelming intensity. The messy haired figure seemed just as shocked as he was, but seemed to take it a lot better, as he was finally showing signs of reaction.

He approached Light, that almost blank look returning to his features. "Yagami...kun." He finally said, forcing one foot to calmly step in front of the other in a slow, but steady manner. At least his voice wasn't hitched in his throats like the brunette's was. Like always, better at hiding emotions behind a passive facade.

Light didn't know why but something told him, as L approached, that this wouldn't go well...

Finally forcing himself to speak, so many thoughts continuing to rush through his mind at once. "Ryu...zaki."

No sooner had he spoken had the wide eyed detective stopped not inches from his face, unblinking, as a foot was painfully collided with the object of his concentration's chin. Light was given no time to react, this action waking him up from his daze, as his back slammed against a pillar with a distasteful 'thud'. Noting nothing was broken, only his aching chin, Light instantly pushed himself to his feet and shot L a disheveled glare. It was met with a distasteful stare. "What the hell is your problem, Ryuzaki?!"

No further words were exchanged after an explanation wasn't given. Light stomped right back up to him, returning the blow with a fist to Ryuzaki's face, but not before he was kicked in the gut. Both were sent to the floor, only to jump back up and return to the brutal exchange of blows.

By this time they had for sure caused a scene. People were probably wondering why they would use fists instead of Zanpakuto, but had you asked, they probably wouldn't even know the answer. Another thing they may wonder is why they were conflicting so seriously in the first place. Obviously neither life was in trouble, so the small crowd of shinigami just continued to stare and whisper among themselves.

In fact the fight may have gone on until either or both lost conciousness, only a certain pair of captains (or one vice, to be precise) had finished their mission and returned, wandering on to the scene. This broke up crowd, most of which began to wander off after a few respectful bows to the newcomers.

Zaraki had been watching for a few minutes in amusement, but finally growing bored, he appeared from behind, catching the more unfamiliar of the two by the shoulders.

"Hey, what's with this? Why not use your Zanpakuto? Otherwise, it's not much of a fight." Zaraki said in puzzlement, announcing his presence

"Captain Kenpachi." L greeted. Although he was sporting a bleeding lip and an even darker, swollen eye, he bowed as if the injuries weren't there at all.

Kenpachi frowned in thought. "Eh...you're that 10th divisioner, Ryuzaki, huh?" Kenpachi asked, having heard about the 'prodigy' that was bumping seats in his division quickly, because of his intelligence or whatnot.

"Yes." L placed his thumb to his bottom lip, turning his gaze to the Captain, only to flinch and drop his hand because of the cut.

"Well, I don't give a shit about your problems, I just can't have ya killin' my new fifth seat just yet." Kenpachi wasn't a stupid man. He requested someone from the 10th division escort the new member of his own division...or, well, Ikkaku had.

This guy must have a pretty smart mouth on him if he managed to tick off the calm, ever observing, Ryuzaki so easily that he forgot he was armed.

"I understand. My apologies." Ryuzaki said, his eyes falling on to his ex-partner in the Kira case.

Light looked between the two of them as they spoke, shrugging off the Captain, who appeared to be his own.

"So what's your name, kid?" Zaraki asked. Tiny hands and a pink bob appeared on his right shoulder. Light didn't let it distract him.

"Yagami Light."

"Light, eh? I'm Kenpachi Zaraki, your Captain." Zaraki introduced. As if reading his mind the pink girl, ten times smaller than himself, piped up.

"That's a weird name! How 'bout Yaya-kun!"

Light blinked, a small smile appearing on his face, but his bruised cheeks were too painful to keep it that way. "I get that a lot." He faintly wondered what relationship the small girl had with the Captain to be hanging off his shoulder like a monkey like that...

But on a more important note...

Light turned back to L, again locking eyes, now a less hostile look to them and now more inspecting if anything. His thumb was replaced on a unscathed part of his lip, his shoulders slumped, and sporting a similar uniform to his own.

Why was Ryuzaki there? It's been many countless years since he's seen him, 'living' and attending the academy here.

Things have been blurry, that is, the Kira case. He remembers catching L as he fell and watching him as he died. Just like his father on his death bed, he was helpless to do anything as Kira claimed both of their lives. After that he remembers taking Ryuzaki's place as L, but after that things really got hazy...he can't even remember his own death...but maybe it's that way for everyone...?

He didn't even want to face that he was actually dead, but surprisingly, he adapted well...he's always been a realist.

What puzzled him most was why Ryuzaki assaulted him before. Was it possible that he still suspected him as Kira, even in death?

L finally approached the one, once again breaking him from his daze.

"Yagami-kun, I would like to speak with you in private." He said, walking to Light's side. Ryuzaki cast Zaraki a questioning look.

Zaraki scatched behind his head. "Do what ya want." He grunted, turning and beginning to walk away. The girl began babbling about where they were going next.

Light nodded. There were some things they needed to clear up.

Obviously Light is confused. He seems to have lost all memory of being Kira! But why is that?
