Y'know, there's one word that I have to keep using in the author's notes of this fic and it's wow. This fic is only four-five if you include this chapter but I'm writing the beginning notes before I start writing the actual chapter lol-chapters long yet it has more reviews then my ongoing Kingdom Hearts fic which has six chapters and only twenty seven reviews.

I'm feeling very loved within this fandom ^^.

So at the end of this chapter I'm gonna post some information on a competition.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll, I have to admit I was hoping more people would vote for made up or don't care, I do have a character who I could use as the killer but they will be slightly OOC, I'll be going by the movie version of them to some extent...unless they're like that in the anime/manga. I'm trying not to leave any clues here XD.

Special thanks to all my reviewers:

frnight, Guardian of Courage, Quiet, Light love L Lawliet, CuddlyPandaBear,KageMori, Hentai-Otaku, redfoxmoon and Summer-Love-Ari

Chapter Five: Thoughts and Memories

"I came here to speak to you Yagami-kun, you see it was quite urgent."

The detective's words surprised Raito, he turned to his father who just nodded at him.

"Yes, Ryuzaki was quite insistent about coming over, he even convinced Watari that he wouldn't be needed."

Soichiro looked exhausted, he'd had an early start due to the second murder and had been working hard to discover no leads all day.

It was frustrating to say the least.

With a raised eyebrow Raito started back into the hallway but stopped in the doorway,

"We can talk up in my room, I'm sure it's not something for oka-san or Sayu's ears," he commented.

The ebony haired man nodded as he climbed off of the chair,

"Thank you for the tea and cake Yagami-san," he commented with another nod towards the woman who just smiled in response.

"Just call me Sachiko-san, Ryuzaki, I'm glad you enjoy my cooking but you and Raito better get whatever business you have sorted before it gets too late."

Ryuzaki nodded again before he followed Raito out of the room and up the stairs to his bedroom.

The detective studied the room with a slight frown, there was no extra decoration such as posters or pictures and there were no trinkets laying around either. It was impossible to analyze the teenager through his room, apart from the fact that he was a neat and clean individual.

That wasn't what was really getting on L's nerves though, what was honestly vexing the man was that he felt like he'd seen the room before. It was the same with the whole house but this room-Raito's room-was the one that was most familiar.

He'd never been in the house before, he'd never even seen pictures of the exterior or the interior so there was no reason for it to feel so familiar to him.

A similar expression was also present on Raito's face, only he wasn't frustrated because he was confused. The reason for his annoyance was floating right in front of him, laughing.

"Oh this is brilliant! You've brought L up to your room, your 'private sanctum' and it looks like he has some memories of his own," Ryuk cackled, his grin growing larger and creepier with every word.

Memories of his own.

The teenager looked over his shoulder to see Ryuzaki frowning as he looked around the room, chewing on his thumb as he did so.

What was going on? The spirit had told him that only he would have his memories...wait, it had only told him that he would be going back in time but he would keep his memories. It hadn't said anything about the others in his life.

Raito resisted the urge to groan, thinking back on the experience, the voice had been very vague in it's explanation.

He wished he could question Ryuk about his new discovery but he knew that he would seem crazy to Ryuzaki. Not to mention the shinigami probably wouldn't answer the questions anyway.

Instead he walked back over to his door and shut it before he returned to his desk, taking a seat at the chair in front of it.

He cleared his throat to capture the older man's attention before he indicated the bed,

"Take a seat, what is it you wanted to speak to me about so urgently?" he asked.

Seeming back to his usual self the detective clambered onto Light's bed and sat in his signature crouch.

"Ah yes, it is about the case but I assume you have already worked that out?"

The brunet rolled his eyes in response,

"Of course but what have you discovered that is so urgent that it couldn't wait until tomorrow?"

The pair lapsed into silence for a few moments before Ryuzaki spoke again,

"The first thing I feel I should inform you is that I believe you may be a suspect in this case, though you were supposedly home I can see that it wouldn't be difficult for you to sneak out, especially as both murders were committed when members of your family were asleep plus you seem to know a lot about the original Ripper murders and you are most certainly intelligent enough to pull them off without being caught."

Raito was one who usually held his composure together well, he could usually act calm and polite no matter the situation. However his reaction to the news L bestowed on him was certainly not composed.

Then again, Ryuzaki had always been able to get a reaction out of him.

"Are you telling me that I'm a suspect!" He exclaimed, his tone incredulous as he stood up, a scowl on his lips and his fists clenched.

"I'm a suspect just because I don't have an alibi and because of my intelligence? That is completely ridiculous," he snapped.

The other boy's face remained blank,

"No, those aren't the only reasons Yagami-kun but I know you have committed some kind of heinous crime and this murder case is the most logical, why else would you be so insistent about helping out with the case and I assure you, my intuitions are never wrong."

The former serial killer's fists clenched even tighter as he advanced forward, he stopped in front of the other pushing him so he fell back onto the bed before leaning over him, pinning him down as he glared down at the other.

"Well this time you are wrong L, I am not the murderer, you want to know the reason why I am so insistent to help out with the case? Because people like him sicken me, the world would be a much better place without murderers, even if they do have some deranged idea that they're helping the world somehow and you want to know why else I wanted to help out? Because I wanted the chance to work with you, to meet you even if it was through a computer," he growled, his tone bitter.

There had been many arguments of the sort in their past life but this time Raito was telling the honest truth. If Ryuk was correct and L really did retain some of his memories of their past life then though the memories were obviously not as complete as Raito's, then that would explain why he believed he was a criminal of some kind.

"This isn't exactly helping your situation Yagami-kun."

The man's cool words brought Raito back to earth, it was then that he became aware of the position he was in with L beneath him.

Their faces were close together and as the brunet moved his face away from the other's he realised that L was sprawled out beneath him...on his bed.

The thought brought colour to his cheeks as images of what he could do to L surfaced in his mind.

Damn, why was he even thinking that way! L had just been accusing him of crimes he had not committed, he'd been pissed off with him!

Those thoughts had been locked away in his past life, they had first appeared when he had been chained to L before but the teenager had been slightly scared back then. Sure, he hadn't been interested in girl's but there was no way he was attracted to Ryuzaki!

He had just put it down to hormones and had banished any similar thoughts to the back of his mind.

It looked like they were resurfacing now.

He was once again brought back to earth by Ryuzaki who had pushed him off, knocking him down onto the bed himself and had pinned him down, only he was on his hands and knees and one of his legs was unfortunately placed between his legs, his knee brushing against his groin and thigh as he got more comfortable.

A small groan escaped Raito's lips as he did so and the detective froze, as if realizing what a sexual position they were in but then chose to ignore it.

"I will not allow you to control and threaten me Yagami-kun, whether you like it or not I suspect you of being the murderer, I only thought it would be polite for me to inform you as I shall be installing camera's in your room for a while, both your parents have agreed to it. Think before you react next time Raito-kun."

With his use of the younger's given name he then got up off of him and left the room, slamming the door in his wake.

Raito just lay there shocked.

What had just happened? They had fought several times before during the time they had been chained together but nothing like that had ever happened before. Plus he had used Raito's first time for the first time during this existence.

Not to mention his thoughts had taken a dive into the gutter in the middle of an argument with the detective, he always needed his wits about him. Especially now the black haired man suspected him, lest something he said or did increased the percentages of him being the murderer.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

"What the hell is wrong with me," he groaned as he lifted his arm and covered his eyes, listening to the chuckles of the annoying shinigami.
