Four lengthy years had passed since L became the publicly known pseudonym for the world's greatest detective. In truth, L had been around for longer than that, but he had not contacted the police or used any outside individuals in that time span. What he had done previously was tap into the crime reports of the police database. He would then read up on all the suspects and all the evidence . The next step was to immediately visit the actual crime scenes by either using Watari as his eyes or having the man escort him onto the scenes when no one else was present. The reason this was done was to gather further evidence faced a case that perplexed him just by reading the basic reports on it. Most of his earliest cases had been in England, but there had been a few oversees, none of which had taken long to solve.
Whenever, he had solved a case, he would then inform Watari, who used his vast connections to have the officials informed. Over time, both the boy and Watari didn't appreciate the prodigy's lack of credit for his findings. So they came up with the idea of a faceless sleuth named L, because of the boy's immense skills he never left a case unsolved. Soon countries all around the world hired the mysterious detective to unravel their most puzzling cases. Thus, in less than a year L, the world's greatest detective became every governments most valued resource.
Now, L stood for his first time in Japan. Infront of him was a large building and all around him were blooming cherry blossoms while above him was a perfectly blue sky. It was such a lovely day and perfect for his fresh start under a new alias. He had recently taken on a baffling case who's perpetrator was a mass murderer given the name Kira. L, had never in his career encounter such a large scale of murder. Criminals around the world were dieing from induced heart attacks. No one knew who Kira was or what his murder weapon could possibly be. All that was know about this murderer was that he merely needed was both a face a name to kill.
While, no one had been able to point out even a possible base location for such a world revolving killer, L had managed to trick the murderer into giving away his location. Which had turned out to be a specific area of Japan. Thus, the renowned detective immediately packed up his necessary materials and transferred his headquarters to a random hotel in that prefecture of Japan.
" Excuse me, but can I help you?" came a woman's voice.
L turned to face the owner of the sound that had distracted his thought process.
A small boned woman with sleek, short black hair, round almond eyes, and dressed pristinely in white blouse and a knee-length gray wool skirt. There was an air of sophisticated beauty about the Asian woman as she peered concernedly at him.
" Yes, my name is Ryuga Hideki and I am transfer student. Could you give me directions to the criminology classroom 1-A?" he asked.
The woman smiled brightly at him, and L noticed she didn't react to his blatant alias. Ryuga Hideki, was, after all, a well known Japanese Idol. The reason L had taken on such a conspicuous nom-de-plum was to earn himself Kira's attention. After all, Kira was a person who put much stock in a person's name, so an intelligent human prancing around using the name of a celebrity would obviously catch his or her eye.
" Certainly, Ryuga-san. That is my room as well." she replied.
" Why, thank you miss…" he answered drawing her attention to the fact that she had not given her name.
" Takada." she stated.
" Thank you ,Takada-san." he rephrased.
With their introductions behind them the two entered the sizable building of the prestigious To-Oh university.
L, had recently turned 17 and was a year ahead of others his age in education. Watari had insisted that he not skip a lot of grades to draw further attention to his genius and the older man had always been relentless in making sure the young detective got his full education even if he was the world's greatest detective. This was the sleuths first year in college and most of his childhood he had been home schooled at Whammy's House. Whammy's House was an orphanage that had been founded by Watari for gifted children that might one-day succeed L. The Orphanage wasn't publicly known , but was accredited by England's government as a proper place for education.
" You speak Japanese very fluently." Takada commented.
" Thanks." L replied.
" So where did you transfer from?" she asked.
" England." he answered. He knew that small amount of information could never reveal his actually identity so it was a harmless response.
" Oh. Well this is classroom 1-A." she commented as she ushered him inside a room filled with students, desks, and other paraphernalia found at a college.
The raven moved to take a seat, in his usual manner, in a previously unoccupied desk. This action earned himself the attention of his fellow peers, who had never seen a person sit in such an odd manner. L laughed quietly to himself, because he knew the stance was often viewed as repulsive by others but if he didn't sit that way his logic decreased by 40 percent.
Suddenly, a bell rang loudly at any of the pupils who had been standing quickly procured their seats. A handsome auburn-haired man in his early twenties entered the room. He held a leather suitcase and was dressed in navy blue pullover and khaki dress pants. The man sat the suitcase down on the teacher's desk and turned to write on the chalkboard.
L read the kanji being written on the board. Once the man had finished writing a name was written across the board. " Yagami-sensei."
As L read the name, he felt his heart rate increase erratically then suddenly it stopped beating altogether. A moment passed and his heart once again continued palpitating. L clutched tightly onto the wooden top of his desk as the man turned face the class. There before him was an all to familiar face. A face with eyes that had seen him in a way no one else had, naked. A face that held lips that had kissed him and explored him in places no one else had ever dared to. A face that had destroyed him. A face that he had never expected to see again, not in a million years, because it was the face of the man he had loved. The very same man who had defiled him, and left him stranded inside his empty husk.
" Alright class settle down. ." came the man's familiar voice. A voice that had often mumbled sweet nothings and other tender words.
Some girl in the corner raised her hand and Light nodded at her.
" Yagami-sensei, I'm so glad you're our teacher now. Our old teacher was far less informative."
Light smiled at the compliment. " Thank you, but I am afraid that you shouldn't down your previous instructor. I only gave you a bit of knowledge I had ascertained from my experiences in the justice system."
Another student rose his hand and Light gave permission for the boy to speak.
" Yagami-sensei, was it difficult to land your regular job as a police chief?"
" It took a lot of studying." Light answered. L stared at the man content to hear that his ex-lover had actually achieved his dream of becoming an officer of the law.
The same girl from before rose her and was once again given permission to speak.
" Sensei, why again, were you assigned to teach us?"
" Because I volunteered to spend a year enlightening hopeful students seeking a profession in law enforcement." he answered as he began to sift through the papers on his desk.
The rest of the raised hands were ignored Light proceeded to take attendance. The words 'here' and 'present' chimed around the room in an almost sing-song manner. Once the procession had finished Light began to look around the classroom until his golden orbs settled on L. The man gapped at him for a moment and L wasn't certain if it was because he had recognized him or if it was because of his uncomely appearance.
" It seems class that we have a new transfer student named…" Light paused at the name as if was actually uncertain it was the correct one. " Ryuga Hideki, would you please come to the front of the classroom."
