I know I should be working on Realizations and Will's jealousy, but I was bored and my brain wouldn't write anything for the other two stories, so it threw this up. I think It will only be two to three chapters. R&R please! ^^

"There's no way you can steal my candy and get away with it…no…way…"

"Ryyyuzaaakiiiii. Wake up Ryuzaki."

"Five more minutes."

"WAKE THE HELL UP YOU SUGAR ADDICTED PANDA!"

"What the?" Ryuzaki fell off of the couch he had been napping on upon hearing someone yell. "Light-kun? Why are you yelling?"

"I wouldn't be yelling if you hadn't decided to take a nap in the middle of an extremely important conversation. We're trying to catch a serial killer, remember?"

Ryuzaki picked himself up off the floor before turning a stern gaze at Light. Light was unfazed by his stare. The amount of time he has spent with the raven was ample enough for him to be accustomed to his gazes, stares, and glares.

"Come on, Ryuzaki. We have to go save Mello."

"What happened to Mello?" Ryuzaki asked with his innocent panda stare. Light sighed.

"If you hadn't decided to take a nap in the middle of the conversation, you would know Mello fucked up and is now being held prisoner by Resnik. They've already sent a ransom note, and Matt's freaking out."

Ryuzaki stretched, going through his wake up routine without a care in the world. To him, Mello had fucked up and it wasn't his problem. If Matt was so desperate to get him back, he could go save him himself. At that moment, however, the world decided not to favor Ryuzaki. Matt rushed in, hyperventilating, and went straight toward the raven.

"Ryuzaki, seriously, we have to help Mello. He's in some deep shit."

"Mello screwed up on his own. Let him deal with it."

"Ryuuuzaakiii! Please? They're going to kill him if we don't do something fast. This isn't something Mello can get out of by himself. This guy is serious. What would you do if it were Light instead of Mello?"

Ryuzaki looked at Light as if he were sizing him up. He seemed to be deep in thought, which started to unnerve the brunette. Several seconds passed before Ryuzaki gave his answer.

"Nothing, I would still do the same, although I wouldn't be freaking out about it. It doesn't matter how serious this guy is, there's something that's bound to make him crack. What, or, should I say who exactly is this guy after?"

Watari quickly pulled up the files on the 'Modern Ripper' case. Joseph Resnik, better known to the public as the 'Modern Ripper,' had gone mad when his fiancée had abandoned him an hour before their wedding for his personal assistant. The fiancée, Georgiann Wiedenheft, daughter of Thomas and Antoinette Wiedenheft was a renowned schoolteacher whom was to inherit her father's wine company.

Seemingly, Georgiann's family lived in wealth, but recent damages to grape crops on her father's vineyard had dramatically decreased the supply, and now they were in debt. As a last resort, Thomas set up the marriage between his daughter and Resnik. At the time, Resnik was a prosperous lawyer with a bright future in the field. Georgiann was thrilled to be with Resnik, until his personal assistant, Richard, came into the picture.

Georgiann and Richard began meeting secretly, after having met through Resnik. It seemed to be love at first sight, and the two were happy in each other's presence. Resnik had no knowledge of the affair, until news of their eloping reached him. In a fit of fury, Resnik claimed Richard's life and fled before he could be caught. The feeling of his first kill ignited a psychopathic longing for more, claiming to himself it had to be done for Georgiann to return to him.

"Watari has just located Georgiann. She's being taken to safe location," Ryuzaki explained as he pulled up a picture of her, "We do, however, need someone who will be willing to play her part in our scheme."

Both Matt and Light audibly gulped. Neither of the two wanted to play her part if it meant being handed over to a psychopath, especially one with obsessive tendencies. Matt shot Light a pleading look. Light sighed, knowing it would probably end up being him anyway.

"Alright, I'll do it."

"No, your hair isn't close to hers. Matt is the better choice," at this Matt visibly paled.

"B-b-but, how can I? I look nothing like her!"

"That my dear, is the magic of makeup. Now, go with Misa. She'll help you into your dress."

Matt's eyes widened. He couldn't believe Ryuzaki was making him cross-dress. The only things keeping him from ripping the other man's throat out were Light and Mello's situation. With a dejected sigh, he made his way to Misa's room for his makeover.

"You didn't have to do that Ryuzaki."

"He was the one who wanted me to save Mello. This is how he's going to pay me back. Plus, it's entertaining to see him in distress; don't you think Light-kun?"

Light inwardly face-palmed. Ryuzaki could be such a child sometimes. He didn't doubt he had feeling for the raven anymore. In fact, he had admitted that to himself a while ago. His only problem was Ryuzaki himself. He didn't know if the detective returned those feelings at all. Ryuzaki was a mystery in itself. Light found he could not read the raven's emotions as well as he thought he could. He still had a lot to learn about the strange, panda-like man, but that couldn't stop his feelings.

"I think it is quite childish to mess with him. He's already distraught enough."

"I find it fun. Now, to set our plan in motion, Light, I need you to pose as my right hand man. I'll be playing Sherlock, figuratively of course, and you will be Watson. Now, we need to make sure we only spend an hour getting Mello back. Near will be on standby to get Matt. You and I will make sure Mello gets out of there safely. Got it?"

"Right, so what exactly do I have to do?"

"Just stand there and look pretty. I'll do the dirty work."

Tada! First chapter. How was it? Don't forget to review. I'm also looking for an artist/artists to do covers for my stories. If you're interested PM me with a website (such as deviantart) where I can see your style.
