1st Match

Raito vs. Aizawa

Disclaimer: We do not own Death Note, obviously because if we did, Mello, Matt and L would still be alive and Raito would have died in the first book... And we wouldn't be making up such random nonsense like this... We would have just put it in the book... So we could get money for it... Ya... That's it...

If you are reading this, you are one of the few lucky people that get to witness second hand the most challenging match of wits this planet has ever seen. It is a game of strategy, skill and luck, also known as...

"Checkers? Why would I play a game of checkers? I mean... seriously, you're talking about checkers here!" Raito yelled, looking at the laptop with an old English W on it, which was sitting on a table beside a checkers board that had already been set up. "I can't believe that you would lie to me, Watari. You said that if I came in here, I would have everlasting powers!"

Aizawa glanced at his opponent. "You know, L once gave an example that was a lot like this. He said that if Kira had a choice to play checkers, he would refuse, because he would think himself superior to checkers. Hmm... Maybe your percentage has gone up..."

Watari's voice blared through the speakers of the laptop, "Ready, Set, Go!"

Aizawa looked strangely at the screen, "Uh... That's a race... Not checkers..."

"Ok then," Watari replied, "Let's get ready to rumble!"

"That's for a fight... And I really don't want to fight... It might mess up my perfect hair." Raito complained, sub-consciously running his fingers through his 'just what the doctor ordered' hair (1).

"Fine then! Just play the damn game! Sit down in the chair closest to you."

Aizawa whispered to Raito, "I think something's wrong with him..."

Raito glared back, "You think?" He sat at the table, behind the black pieces. "Hehe, black. Like death. Hehe."

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "And that's not suspicious at all..."

"Okay," The laptop said, "So, red goes first."

"What? But black should go first, because it's black! And black rules all, because it's the color of the Death Note! I mean..." Raito trailed off pathetically.

"Just to let you know," Watari spoke through the laptop, "L just said that the percentage has gone up... again."

And the match began. Aizawa started off with a dastardly cunning move, and Raito countered. That's checkers for you... The match went on for an hour, with both making daring plays. But, at the end of the hour, Raito knew he needed to take drastic measures if he really wanted to win. And, as we all know, now that he was actually playing, he couldn't let himself loose.

His genius mind had a plan within seconds.

"Hey, Aizawa," He said, running his fingers through his hair and leaning forward a little. In the background, his few fan girls were screeching. "I was wondering... Are you doing anything tonight?"

The astonished look Aizawa gave him was perfect. He hardly noticed as Raito moved one of his pieces into place. "What are you doing, Raito?"

"Well, I was just thinking, a man like you shouldn't be alone on a night like this." Raito flashed him another one of his dazzling smirks.

Aizawa made his move without even looking at the board. "Raito, I'm not gay."

The teen smiled his most flirtatious smile. "Neither am I, but things can change, you know." Jumping over three of Aizawa's men in one turn, Raito made it to the other end of the board. "King me." He said in the most seductive voice he could come up with.

The blush on Aizawa's face was unmistakable now. "Raito, I have a wife and children. I also have no intention of becoming gay." He made the move that Raito had been waiting for. He jumped two of the red tiles. Now Aizawa only had one.

"Well then," Raito started, "that's too bad because now you won't have my comforting shoulder to cry on when you realize that you lost."

"I already told you, I have a wife and ki.." Aizawa stopped talking as soon as he noticed what Raito was talking about. Ever since Raito started 'flirting' with him, he hadn't looked at the board. Now that he looked, he could see what Raito's plan actually was.

"What? So does that mean..." Aizawa said carefully, "you're not actually gay?"

Raito just laughed, "Why would I be with these good looks?" And as to prove his point, he flipped his hair dramatically to the side and winked, making one of his fan girls faint.

"Right... Well then..." Aizawa stood up and put his right hand out over the board, "Good game."

"I don't need a handshake from you... I'm god!" Raito slapped his hand away, "I mean..."

Raito ran out of the room quickly, leaving Aizawa standing there. Watari's voice sounded over the laptop again, "Winner of the first match of the first round... Raito Yagami! And Aizawa," Watari added, "Next time you see Raito, tell him that L's suspicion is even higher now because of the 'god' comment."

"Uh...Sure..." Aizawa said distractedly as he watched Raito walk out of the room through the door he came in from. "What am I thinking! I'm not gay! I think I need to go home... I need a hug... And maybe some alcohol..." Aizawa sighed and walked out of the room, leaving it empty for the next dynamic match.
