(A/N): Okay, so I made this story set around the the time for Death Note when L had surveillance on Misa and Light (Light was in handcuffs btw - kinky. ;3) Oh yeah, and I refer to L as Ryuzaki in this, 'cause I think it sounds better. I know some events don't entirely match up with the DN plot, but hey. I know that the time period doesn't really fit with Code Geass either, which was set around 2010 (wayyy past when L died), but try to think of it like they were really close in time. Also, I haven't finished Code Geass yet (I'm only on Episode 14 so it's towards the beginning. XD;) The story starts out kind of slow in the beginning 'cause I need to set up the plot, but I thought this would be an awesome crossover, so yeah. Yay! My first fanfic! :D Hope you enjoy it! It will be updated regularly, and there is yaoi lemon to come. XP Enjoy!~~~ :3

Clink.

The sound of metal hitting ceramic - a high-pitched clarion.

Clink.

The spoon tapped against the side of the beige, enameled tea cup once more before it came to a rest on the plate below. Inhaling the scent and - to no one's surprise - adding a few more cubes of sugar to the mixture, the hunched figure sat at his desk on a wheeled chair. Of course, "sitting" would be too formal to describe what he was doing in all reality. Resting his hands on top of his kneecaps, Ryuzaki faintly listened to the voice behind him as he stared ahead at the computer screen.

"Ryuzaki, I've brought you some Darjeeling tea. I've prepared it to your liking as always. If you have any requests please tell me immediately."

Ryuzaki pressed his right thumb gently to his lip and talked; devoid of emotion.

"Thank you, Watari. That will be all."

Watari silently exited the room as Ryuzaki toyed around with the spoon once more. Without moving his gaze, he brought the drink to his lips and sipped it gently. It wouldn't be very polite to slurp in front of guests. Well…guest.

The task force had gone home for the night at Ryuzaki's firm and demanding request. Only one individual had incessantly refused to leave the headquarters - as was foreseeable for Ryuzaki. Of course, it was none other than Light Yagami.

"Ryuzaki, it's late. We should quit for the night."

With a yawn, Ryuzaki's companion impatiently waited for a response.

"Mmm. You go ahead."

His onyx eyes refused to blink as they simply stared at the blinding statistics before him. Sakura TV's broadcasts, Kira-worshipping websites, and the recordings of meetings within the Yotsuba group building were all displayed on the screen in front of him. Light grunted with irritation, jerking his hand upward to stir a reaction from Ryuzaki's unmoving body at last.

"I don't think I can leave right now without you."

Light's eyes rolled as they directed to the metal handcuffs which chained the two together.

"Oh… That would explain it."

Ryuzaki seemed unfazed; excluding the small gaze he gave Light. I need to figure this out…Carefully reviewing the thoughts in his head Ryuzaki engorged himself into deep thought:

Fact #1 - Light was Kira. That was now a 97% chance. His persona, his access to police information, his intelligence…everything made sense.

Fact #2 - Misa Amane was the second Kira. She worshiped Kira, and it was evidence enough to witness her irrevocable love for Light. …Although her "love" was highly aggravating at times. At this, Ryuzaki grunted softly.

Fact #3 - There was something…something deep down inside of him… that yearned to see every part of Light - his emotions, his body, everything.

Fact #4 - Their relationship would ultimately result in death. Whether it would be himself or Light, that much was certain.

Ryuzaki pressed his lips together, then sighing to himself. All the while, Light was grounding his teeth in frustration behind Ryuzaki - who was still deep in thought. Ryuzaki turned his head slowly to the digital clock on the monitor. It was already past midnight.

Light stared at Ryuzaki sitting awkwardly in the chair and asked: "Why can't you sit normally? You're always hunched over like that."

Ryuzaki shuddered at his words. I'm not…normal? Deciding to let the last comment slide, Ryuzaki answered Light respectfully.

"If I sit normally, my reasoning ability would drop 40%." Light scoffed at Ryuzaki's words and chose himself not to believe them.

Letting a soft exhale through his lips, he finally stood to his feet.

"Alright then, let's go catch up on some sleep."

But, it was a lie. Ryuzaki had never once slept in his entire life - as proven by the dark bags under his eyes. As Light drifted peacefully off into sleep next to him, Ryuzaki simply stared. What else could he do? Of course they had to sleep in the same bed, they were handcuffed together. But, Ryuzaki used this as an excuse for his alibi. He merely wanted to be with Light whenever and wherever he could.

He looked at Light's delicate features - the gentle glisten of his hair by the moonlight; his small eyelashes flickering softly; even the way he held onto the bed sheets was simply adorable. But, in all his joy and happiness, Ryuzaki wanted to ruin Light. He'd rip him from the inside out; as if he were a wild beast devouring his prey. How he'd desired to make the infamous "Kira" his own - only to dirty him and violate him in ways indescribable and unimaginable. I'm such a sadist. Ryuzaki gently ruffled Light's hair then rolled over to the other side of the bed, pressing his back to Light's as they lay next to each other. …If only you weren't Kira…Raito-kun…

Ryuzaki silently unlocked the handcuff attached to his own hand and chained it to the bedpost behind his head. He pressed his body to the other's - yet without direct purpose. Even if he were to take Light now, surely Light would fight him back. It was in his nature - in Kira's nature. Besides that, Ryuzaki's thoughts were too scattered to even begin to think straight. He was in the midst of proving that Light was Kira, and Misa Amane the second Kira. He growled softly once more to himself. Misa Amane…I know that Light is only using her, but still. I feel the urge to kill her myself. Ryuzaki breathed a sigh of disappointment and removed his hand from Light's cheek; where he had put it moments before. He rolled off of the bed and stood to his feet, slowly raising his foot to rub against his other leg. Slinking quietly towards the door, Ryuzaki doubted his actions but insisted that it wasn't time yet. He would know when Light was ready to accept his feelings. As his hand rested on the doorknob, he had a sudden realization and returned to the bedside once more.

Ryuzaki stood by the mattress and placed a tender kiss on his Sleeping Beauty's lips, whispering softly towards Light: "Sleep tight, my love."

Returning to his seat in the main lobby, and slumping on the chair in his crouched position once more, Ryuzaki brought small strawberry shortcake to his mouth as he switched all the computer monitors to Sakura TV. After all, how else could he know if there were any recent Kira killings that were broadcasted? It seemed that everyone on the Sakura TV network was a Kira fanatic. Of course, this gave reason for the second Kira to use Sakura TV in any means necessary. Misa Amane was at the studio during the time of the "Kira festival," or so I like to call it, she has to be the second Kira. There's no hesitation in my mind. Ryuzaki's thoughts drifted back to the television in hopes of finding out some new evidence. But tonight, it had seemed that the newscasters had something better to cover.

The female's voice rang clearly from the streaming television broadcast. "Hello, and welcome to the evening news. I'm your host, Kiyomi Takada."

Takada…Light's ex-girlfriend? This is getting interesting… Ryuzaki's dark irises shone brighter as he clearly demonstrated his growing curiosity. The voice spoke again; although showing a slight bit of uneasiness in repeating the words from the teleprompter.

"It seems that a case of urgent news has just recently arrived at the station's attention. It is my understanding that Japan is now dividing into two sections. As with the Kira case, this as well is highly controversial and has arisen many disputes. Japan is stuck between establishing itself as 'Area 11' and the 'United States of Japan.' The 'United States of Japan' is supposedly being formed by a man who calls himself 'Zero' - with a goal of overthrowing the Holy Britannian Empire as we know it…"

…Zero? Hm... Ryuzaki propped his lip upwards with his thumb as he glanced at the two monitors on his right. One watched over Misa Amane's room for the time being, while the other remained on Light Yagami's. Could this somehow be related to the Kira incident? Takada said it herself - they both are very controversial. Plus, the two also seem to revolve around struggles of power. Justice is also a major factor. The culprits - Kira and 'Zero' - seem to believe that they are doing what's best for the world. I wonder…Why wasn't I told of this before? Ryuzaki gently shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a late-night parfait from the refrigerator in the next room. Watari always made the best desserts. Whenever Ryuzaki was feeling down, all he needed was some sweets and all the solemnity dissolves. Plus, I don't gain any weight. The brain uses the most calories of any organ in the body. Therefore, I just burn off the calories by thinking. Ryuzaki smiled softly at his last thought, leaning in front of the computer screens once more. This time he opened a window for the online browser. Ah. So I was contacted. Under all of his names - including Eraldo Coil, Deneuve, and L - Ryuzaki had received multiple emails from police forces and agencies around the area requesting him to identify and arrest Zero.

Ryuzaki already had his hands full with the Kira investigation. Maybe that's why Watari didn't bring this to my attention. But, you can't hide anything from me for forever. He scooped a tiny bit of the parfait with his spoon and brought it eagerly to his lips. Swirling the dessert in his mouth delicate, Ryuzaki took one last sip of his tea before leaning back in his chair. Well, this case could give me a break from the Kira investigation, and…this actually sounds fairly interesting. Zero, whoever you are, you're going to regret that the great detective L was informed of your presence. I am…justice!

~*~*~*~*~

A/N: There was a part of me that wanted to have Watari enter the room as L picked up his spoon and thrust (pun intended XDD) it into the air saying, "I AM JUSTICE!!" then make an awkward moment. XD But, I didn't 'cause this actually needs to be serious.....until the lemony love-making later. XP STAY TUNED!~ X3
