"Azula, there's something weird in here," said Ty Lee in awe as she noticed a door which shone with bright purple light.

"It's only the broom closet," said Azula dismissively, "It's been like that for years."

"Don't you think there's something... inside?"

"You mean, like brooms?"

"Azula, maybe she's right," said Mai, "closets usually don't shine like that. Not that I care."

"Well, I don't care either," said Azula and examined her nails.

"Maybe you can open it and see what's inside."

"Ty Lee, for the hundredth time, there's nothing there!"

"But you're so courageous..."

"I know. What does that have to do with anything?"

"Could it be that you're... scared?" Ty Lee whispered.

"Of course not. If it makes you happy, I'll check what's in that closet," said Azula unwillingly and approached to open the closet door. Inside was a bright purple vortex, that Azula was not familiar with from her childhood tours of the palace. "hmm," she said with interest and walked right into it.

"If she dies, she dies alone," said Mai and walked away.

Light Yagami was sitting in his room, staring at the TV and writing in his notebook.

"Raito?"

"Not now, Ryuk, I'm busy. I'm fulfilling my heavenly duty and saving the world."

"Did your closet always glow like that?"

"Ryuk, what are you talking about? Don't make me take a break because of your chattering."

"But... it's purple..."

Light diverted his eyes from his precious notebook and turned to look at his closet, which indeed emitted purple glow. "huh."

He got up and opened the door, and a few seconds later a girl in red emerged.

"Commoner," she stated and wiped dust off her shoulder.

"Crazy girl," he stated. "What are you doing in my room?"

"Oh, don't you know me? I get that a lot recently, so I will forgive you for not bowing to me. What is your name, Peasant?"

"Light. Or Raito, if you'd like. Who are you, anyway?"

"I am Azula, princess of the Fire Nation and Firelord to be!" she said maliciously, her hands spread to the sides. It fitted perfectly with the thunder from outside.

Light and Ryuk exchanged confused glances.

"What are you looking at?"

"My invisible friend, Ryuk."

"Are you crazy?"

"I can ask you the same thing!"

"According to traditional Fire Nation rules, my brother, Zuko, is supposed to inherit Father's place as Firelord, and Father's death does seem far... but the throne will be mine, even if it seems absurd for you. Question me one more time and I shall roast you alive."

"Well, I didn't mean that..."

"You're not Earth Kingdom, are you? I loath that kingdom."

"Uhh, no, I'm Japanese."

"Incredible!"

Light didn't bother to ask.

"I must have reached a parallel universe somehow. I'm in an AU!"

"Apparently," Light mumbled. "You don't really expect me to believe all of that, do you? I'm the smartest person in the entire world. No, the entire universe! No, galaxy! Wait, which one's bigger, universe or galaxy?"

"Raito, I've been here for nearly ten minutes and I didn't lie even once. It is an all-time record for me. Don't anger me by not believing my words."

"Or you'll roast me alive? We'll see who kills whom first," said Light and grabbed a pencil as threateningly as he could.

Azula shot a lightening bolt at him which passed an inch over Light's head, and hit Ryuk, who got bummed.

"How did you do that?" Light asked with astonishment.

"Lightening is the purest form of firebending. My idiotic brother wouldn't do it if his life depended on it."

"Do you think you can kill someone with that?" Light asked, disguising the excitement in his voice perfectly.

"Of course."

"I'll give you 200,000 Yen to kill Ryuzaki for me."

"Hey, Raito, I thought you wanted to kill him yourself!"

"Not now, Ryuk," said Light impatiently, and Azula raised one eyebrow.

"You can't hire me with your silver pieces, Raitopesant, I'm a princess. I have all the money I want. And seriously, who are you talking to?"

"I told you, it's my invisible friend!"

"This place wasn't even worth coming in to the closet," said Azula and started walking back into the vortex.

"Wait," said Light, "I can kill people too. Maybe there's someone I could kill for you."

She stopped and rolled her eyes dramatically to the left. "You mean... like the Avatar?"

"I have no idea who that is, but sure, why not."

"Than it's a deal," she smiled wickedly. "Kill the Avatar first and then I'll come with you to kill this... Ryuzaki. Is he an earthbender, waterbender or warrior?"

"Actually, he's a detective. Crimebender."

Ryuk laughed.

"Than it would be easy. While you're at it, could you also kill my brother, treacherous uncle, Iroh and my father, so I can become Firelord immediately?"

"Don't push it," said Light, "the Avatar will suffice. But I need to know his name and face."

Azula pulled a rolled piece of parchment from her pocket and gave it to Light. It was a Wanted Picture of Aang.

"That's not enough. I need the actual face."

"Would you like me to chop off his head and give it to you?" she asked sarcastically.

"But then you won't even need me," he wondered. "No, a photo will do."

"How will that help you kill him?"

"I write people's names in my notebook and then they miraculously die. What's his name, by the way?"

"Aang."

"How do you spell that?"

"Come on, we'll talk in the vortex. Time is of the essence. I want the Avatar dead as soon as possible."

"Is it with an E?"

"Raito, if you do the eye-bargain thingy with me you'll know how to spell every name..."

"NOT NOW, RYUK!"

Azula rolled her eyes.

"Wait. I want L to die first. Then I'll go into the purple thing with you."

"Luckily for you, I'm in a good mood. Where is he?"

"I'll have to plan it first. No one should know I know you or that you have anything to do with me. Then I'll need you to kill his future successor, Near. And Mello too."

"Fine, but then you have to kill Zuko and Iroh."

"You got it. First we'll have to find you some normal clothes..."

"You mean my royal attire shows that I am a master at firebending, thus destroying the element of surprise?"

"No, I mean it looks like you just got out of Comic-Con, it's ridiculous. I'll steal some stuff for you from my little sister. She's kind of a skank but I think you'll like her taste in clothes. While I'm with L, you'll have to break into the fancy headquarters we just built and kill him in front of everyone. Once you use you're lightening everyone will no you have nothing to do with Kira and I will be cleared of all suspicion."

Suddenly, Light's cell phone rang. The screen said Ryuzaki.

"Hello?"

"Raito-kun. I just wanted to tell you about a new lead in the investigation."

"I'm listening."

"If I die in the next few days as a result of lightening, you are definitely Kira."

"What – how did you know I - "

"Are you confessing that you have indeed planned on murdering me with lightening, Raito-kun?"

"Umm... no..."

"Good. My ice cream is starting to melt now, so bye."

Light shook his head in disbelief. "Oh, wait! I have a new idea! Can you use just fire, and not lightening?"

"Ever since I was a 3-year-old," said Azula, bored.

"Good. Then sneak into HQ and kill him with fire! Brilliant! He didn't mention fire! I'm amazed by my own ingenuity!"

Ryuk clapped sarcastically.

"Please. I've met Water Tribe peasants who were smarter than you."

"Oh yeah? Well, I've met Matsuda and he's smarter than you!"

"Burned," said Ryuk.

"Great. I'll call in an emergency meeting and say I found out that Kira definitely does not use fire. And then, if L burns, they won't associate it with Kira!" Light pulled out his cell phone and began texting. Azula played with a fireball.

"Well, it's all taken care of, " said Light a few minutes later. "I'll go first, and you follow me. Thirty-eight minutes after I go into that building, you come in as well. Now stay here with Ryuk, I'll go find you some clothes."

As Light began the secret operation, Azula and Ryuk remained alone in his room. Ryuk, who suffered greatly from attention issues, wanted at least one conversation who ended with more just "be quiet, Ryuk!" and so he touched Azula with a page of the notebook.

"Hello," he said.

"Ryuk!" said Azula surprisingly. "I thought that peasant was only hallucination you so he'll have someone to talk to in the fields."

"Not quite. Do you have an apple?"

"Why, yes, I do," said Azula and pulled out a perfect red apple from her robe pocket. "I'm very hungry, though."

"But... apple..."

Azula bit it sadistically. "Mmmm. Delicious.

As Ryuk drools, Light came into the room with a pink blouse and jeans.

"Ryuk, are you talking to the crazy princess?"

"Yes," said Ryuk with guilt.

"Bad Shinigami, Ryuk. No apples for you today."

"You don't really expect me to wear that, do you?" said Azula with dismay and looked at the jeans. "How can anyone fight in that?"

"You're not supposed to fight in that, but I'm sure an elite warrior as yourself can do it. Come on, I'm not looking."

Azula laughed and then pushed Light out of the room. Light couldn't help himself and said maniacally, "Ha ha ha ha! Finally, L shall die! Muhahahaha!"

"What did you say, sweety?" asked his mother, who walked in the hallway with a hamper in her hands.

"Oh, nothing, Mom."
