Author's note: This fanfiction came from an idea bunny. One day in class, me and this buddy of mine were talking about Death Note and Bleach. Actually, I was the one talking about Ulquiorra and Orihime. From there it degenerated to a comparison of Ulquiorra and L from Bleach.

As Death Note readers know, L is a genius and got killed by Kira-Light. No one knows what happened to L himself. This fanfiction is written around the theory that Death Note and Bleach are in the same universe, it is just that they never really crossed over because the two respective Shinigamis do not work on the same goals.

I know connecting L and Ulquiorra is a bit of a stretch but it's a good stretch. They kinda look the same and they are both intelligent. Besides, it's all for fun.

There has only a few fanfictions floating on about Bleach and Death Note.

We got talking and decided to do a L and Ulquiorra fanfiction. We decided that L is Ulquiorra and that we should write a fanfiction based around that idea.

That being said I was going to post it on my account since my buddy doesn't have an account. This is a joint effort work so it'll be done faster than some of my other works.

The outline is basically going to be like this.

An author's note plus a prologue.

Negacion-The evil cube thingy

Back in the real world

And so on.

I plan to co-write a maybe ten-twelve chaptered fanfiction, maybe more when I have more stuff to work on. Right now, all the stuff being been said is a bit of speculation and fact. The beginning is going to be a bit influenced by some of the already posted Death Note/Bleach crossovers.

For this particular plot, I think this is unique. I have not come across any fanfiction with this particular plot yet.

I'll list Bleach/Death Note fanfiction here so people will be able to check them out as well.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

L Lawliet is dead.

He has been dead for only hours and yet his soul chain had already deteriorated to a dangerous level, much faster than normal plus souls. Usually it would take days, weeks even for a soul chain to shorten as much as it did for L.

Interested, Ryuk watched over L's plus soul for those short hours.

Ryuk would not admit it but he was a tad bit afraid of what L would become. Unlike their counterpart Shinigami or Death Gods as they called themselves, who could manipulate reiatsu, he and his people could not and thus were easy targets for hallows.

Only a few people could see Shinigami. The only people who could see Shinigmai are hallows, people who touched the Death Note, and Death Gods. Ordinarily plus souls are unable to see Shinigami, however L had touched the Death Note so there was a high chance of L seeing Ryuk.

Ryuk and his kind tend to stay away from hallows for good reason. Hallows were the one thing that can kill them aside from breaking the rules of the Death Note.

L for the most part stayed where his body fell. He was listless and did not react as most people do when they realize they were dead. From what Ryuk knew of L and of humans, it was unordinary for L to be acting stiff, cold and emotionless.

Suffice to say L was not L anymore.

Ryuk chalked it up to Death Note influence. However, he was unsure in how Death Note's affected beings who had a high reiatsu level. He thought that they would retain most of their memories and convictions. Ryuk figured it had something to do with how that being died. Violent death and what not.

When occurrences such as Ls' occurred, it was kept under tight watch. Usually they would trick some Death Gods from Soul Society to clean up the mess. The Shinigami in question who had orchestrated the event were not heard from again.

Exposure to the Death Note will give humans reiatsu or rather awaken any latent potential. Ryuk did know that death by the Death Note would shorten ones soul chain prematurely.

That was one of the reasons Soul Society cut all ties with the Shinigami. Soul Society felt it was not their right to kill humans before their time. In fact, they disapproved of killing humans in any way. Their duty was to help souls crossover and to kill hallows.

A small bloody war was fought over that issue and the two separated.

Ryuk wondered if he should trick some Death Gods from Soul Society to take care of L. However, it would be less fun if the Death Gods came and sent L's soul to Soul Society before L became a Hallow.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ryuk decided to stay out of L's way, preferable back at his dark and dank but safe home before L changes permanently into a Hallow.

Ryuk held no allusions that someone as smart and intelligent as L in life would retain those aspects while dead. Eventually L would lose his memories and start hungering for souls. The more a person felt before they died, the faster their soul chain would disappear. They would long for something and stay there until they either get eaten or go to Soul Society.

As a hallow L would remember fiercely some of the things he obsessed about when he was alive. In addition, depending on how high his reiatsu was, L may or may not remember concrete bits of his past. He may remember enough to influence the hallow he will become.

Personally, Ryuk wanted L to be powerful and not have complete amnesia. More fun that way and then the other hallows created by the Death Note would be cleaned up without Soul Societies interference. The other hallows, Kira's victims, were weak. They were so weak that they did not hunger and in a way not a threat to anyone, living or dead. They just listed around, staring at things like retarded human children.

That was the most likely reason the Death Gods did not come over to take care of the overabundance of hallows in the city. The hallows could be used as training for the rookies. Or experiments or…

Ryuk frowned, all this thinking was making his head hurt.

He gave one last look at L before opening his wings. This was not his problem; he still had another source of entertainment.

KKKKKKKKKKKK

Three years passed, and his entertainment was used up. Light was dead. Ryuk himself penned in the name.

Ryuk bit into an apple, staring at Light's body. In mere seconds, Light's soul came out.

"Ryuk?" Light seemed so pleased also a bit shocked. "I'm alive and yet I'm dead. How?"

Ryuk smiled. It looked wrong on his face. Very wrong.

He theory was correct. Light, who held onto the Death Note the longest, retained all his memories and was very boisterous. He also had a very high reaitsu level. Much higher than L and any other being who touched the Death Note. Any hallow within fifty miles would sense Light's reaitsu and would come to devour it.

In a way Light was lucky. There was only one hallow within fifty miles. All the other hallows were eaten. If Light was even enough information Light could be able to avoid the hallow and become a powerful hallow himself. Maybe even a God if he played his cards right.

If.

Light tried to touch something, to grab something. He could not. His hand passed through everything. He tried to grab people's attention. He was ignored. Light frowned, placing a hand on his chest, to reassure himself that he is solid.

It was then that he saw his soul chain.

"What is this?" He grabbed the chain. "Ryuk, what is the meaning of this?"

Ryuk chuckled, his laughter like nails on a black board. "You'll find out. It's fun."

Ryuk's idea of fun differed from Light's. Severely so.

"Tell me!" Light grabbed Ryuk's arm and realized he could touch it. In response to that, he kept a firm grip on Ryuk's leather covered arm.

Ryuk shrugged the best he could with Light holding on to him. "It's not really my forte."

"Is there anything you can tell me?" Light demanded his temper uncontrolled for the first time.

"Yes." Ryuk paused. "I will tell you two things. Find the Death Gods and stay away from the Hallows."

"That's it?" Light could work with that. He was intelligent. He was a genius. He could work with that. He had to.

"Afraid so." Ryuk licked his lips. "I have to go, more apples to eat you know."

Light glowered before turning and walking away. He had more questions to ask but he had to wait. He could most likey find out more things by himself than asking Ryuk.

Ryuk was rubbing in the fact that Ryuk could affect the Living world and that he, Light, could not. It would not matter, using his brilliant mind he will find a way to strike back at Ryuk.

As he walked the streets, Light found out that everything was the same as he was alive except for the fact no one can see him. He had already deduced that Ryuk was referring to another set of Shinigami. But why would Ryuk refer to them as Death Gods? Then there were these Hallows. They were something he had never heard of.

As he walked, a thought came to mind. If this happened to him, wouldn't L also experience the same thing?

A small smirk appeared on Light's face, time to see if L is still floating around his death place. No doubt, the once future diabetic is still moping over his loss. L was a sore loser and L rarely lost. It would be fun to gloat over the candy obsessed boy.

When Light arrived at the place, where L died and Light won he was surprised to see nothing was there. No L, no nothing.

"What a waste of time." Light scowled and turned to leave. He wanted to taunt L for his loss.

"Kira." Growled a voice.

Light spun around, eyes searching the place. "Who are you? A Death God?"

A low rumbling voice answered his, the voice sounded like rocks on rocks.

"Nope, not a Death God," Light muttered to himself, ready to run if need be. "Are you a Hallow?"

"Kira." The voice was closer.

Light started to scheme, to plan. That was one of the best talents he ever had. "I need your help. If you help me I will allow you to be my right hand man when I'm God."

Not really. Light planned to be the only one standing as God. He needed no servants.

"Liar. False. All false. Fake." The voice was much closer and much deeper than any normal man. "Kira."

Light turned and ran. He decided it was best to go to a safe place and regroup. He's going to find Ryuk and weed some more information from him. Either that or find another Shinigami and get them to tell him. Right now, he did not have enough information to face the thing that was hiding in the shadows.

He got half a block away before something grabbed his left leg and threw him into a building. Light spat out blood. How could he feel pain? Wasn't he dead?

Light looked up. The thing that had attacked him was small, humanoid. It had claws, long sharp claws. A mask covered its face, very simplistic in design. Horns jutted out of the mask that covered its face and head. Plates of armor covered its shoulders and arms. It had a tail, long and spiked at the end. Light could not see anything else, there was too much shadow and he was staring to see fuzziness in the corner of his vision.

From his viewpoint, Light could see tuffs of black hair, peaking from the mask. As it got closer, he could see the dark circles that covered the eyeholes. It was getting closer.

Light swore, trying to stand up, trying to move. His left leg was crushed by the thing's hand when it grabbed him.

"Not now." Growled Light, still slumped against the wall. He did not cheat death only to die by the claws of the hideous creature. "I refuse to die again."

Light glowered at the creature, as if his stare would make it go away. He felt a striking pain in his chest. Risking a glance, Light looked at his chest and watched as the soul chain disappeared.

"Wah-"

Incredible pain appeared and then hunger. The hallow that attacked Light watched as Light changed from a plus soul into a hallow.

Light laughed. He could feel the power coursing through him. "I'm going to kill you L. I know it's you!" It had to be L. He entrusted his reputation on it.

The hallow watched emotionless waiting. When Light completed his transformation he wasted no time in attacking the hallow. Light was now a monstrous creature, easily towering over the smaller hallow.

"Now we are on equal ground! No I am better than you!" Shouted Light as his soul started deteriorating. Light did not know it but when one becomes a hallow they lose everything. He also did not know that even though he had more reiatsu than his opponent did, it did not mean that he was going to win.

Power was not everything.

Shnk.

Light slid into two pieces. His hallow body sliding onto the ground. L, or what was left of him, went up to Light's ear. "I win."

He then proceeded to eat Light, swallowing his soul, devouring it, destroying it. Light's reiatsu digested. The additional reiatsu curled in his belly. With that extra reaitsu, the hallow was even more powerful than before.

"Are you done?"

The hallow turned to look at Ryuk. He said nothing, analyzing his maybe future opponent or prey.

Ryuk looked at the hallow appraising it as well. "So, what's your name hallow?"

The hallow tilted his head before answering. "My name is—" It stopped, pondering. The last visages of its core self was fading away. The core self was the strongest personality that survived amidst the other souls that the hallow had swallowed. The core self was the human soul that became a hallow.

Because of the core self, it was able to survive for three years eating souls and other hallows. With the core self lending knowledge it grew stronger while hiding beneath Soul Societies radar. The core self was disappearing. Only the hallow remains now.

The hallow could feel its reiatsu growing, more power were at his disposal.

Within seconds, he transformed. His form remained the same but it was stronger. It was time. He had estimated where a natural hole through the dimensions had appeared and now it did. A rip into Hueco Mundo appeared the dark entrance a black blot in the sky.

"My name is Ulquiorra Schiffer," said Ulquiorra, testing his new body. He prepared to leap into Hueco Mundo. "Is there anything else you need?"

Ryuk chuckled and shook his head. "I have my apples, nearly a decade of entertainment."

"Is that a no?"

"Yes." Ryuk waved his hand. "Good bye Ulquiorra Schiffer."

Ulquiorra gave Ryuk one more look before jumping up and into the sky. He zipped into Hueco Mundo. He went home.

Ryuk laughed. "Hehe. I always knew Death Note created hallows that are different from other hallows."

He looked up into the sky. "I think it might be prudent to return home." He looked back at the place where Light was. "Such a shame Light, you gave me such tasty apples and such nice fun."

Ryuk disappeared back to his home. He had a feeling that this will not be the last time Ulquiorra Schiffer stepped onto the Living realm. He dismissed the notion of warning the Death Gods of a potential threat. After all, it would be less fun.

KKKKKKKKKK

There, that is the prologue.

So what do you think? Do you think it is plausible or a crazy idea? Any suggestions? The next chapter will start off when Ulquiorra is in Caja Negation.

That will be fun as Ryuk says.
