A/N: I'm glad you people enjoyed the first chapter of 'Strawberry Magic'. Here is the next chapter, but before that, I want to thank Black-Dranzer-1119, C Elise, 0-SuGaR-FrEe-0, Sailor-Silver-Rose, and Translucent Darkness for reviewing my fic! - So thank you five very much, I appreciated the reviews. Well, enjoy!!

Oh! I have to warn you guys though, this chapter is really...well...not very good. I just had to start it up somewhere, and since in the last chapter I put him watching the tv and what not, I had to start it here (looks down at chapter and scrunches up nose). Please be kind in your reviews.

Chapter Two

Light knew where he was, he was in his old room. It was the day L made himself known to him, the day the two became enemies.

He stared at the computer screen as it turned blue, then a reporter appeared and announced that there was a special live worldwide report from the Interpol. He watched as the scenery changed to a man with black hair wearing a suit.

Am I really back in the past? Seeing the man as he spoke, Light knew the answer to his unvoiced question. He was in the past, there was no mistaking it. But why in the world was he brought to that specific time? Why not another?

"I am Lind L. Taylor," The man began. "the sole person able to mobilize police in every country world wide. More commonly known as L." Light scowled at this. You are nothing compared to L you lowly criminal.

"Criminals have been the targets of a killing spree, the monstrous crime must be stopped at all costs. Kira, as the perpetrator is commonly known, will be caught, I guarantee it." The fake L continued.

Cackling mad, Ryuk spoke. "I remember this, you fell for L's trap like a bug to fire in winter." Ryuk laughed.

Light ignored the Shinigami, although he knew the ugly creature to be right, he had fallen for L's trap in the past. His thoughts were interrupted by the fake L's voice. Blinking, Light looked back at the computer and at the criminal acting as L.

"Kira, I think I've got a pretty good idea of why you're doing this. But what you're doing is 'evil'!" Light's mind blanched at the word. He still couldn't agree with what he had done to be 'evil'. What he had done, and apparently doing, was right! Criminals needed to be punished.

'But not by you.' A voice whispered in the midst of his seething mind. Ignoring the voice, as he had done in the past, Light bit his lip in thought of what to do. So many things he could do.

"So Light, what are you going to do?" Ryuk asked as though he had read the teens mind.

"I don't know." Light murmured.

Staring intently at the computer screen before him, Light began to think up the different scenarios. If he killed this fake L, then L would know where he was instantly, find him, and everything would end up the same. But if he did nothing, he wouldn't meet L. What could he do?

Mind reeling at seeing the man smirk, Light made up his mind and grabbed the Death Note from atop his desk, flipped it open, grabbed a pen, and scribbled the name of the foreign man once again.

Seeing the same man clench his chest in pain, eyes widening uncontrollably before falling over dead for the second time in his life, he had to wonder what else he could have done and still have met with L. Nothing, nothing that would have given him the chance to spend more time with the detective as this would. He could have postponed it, but he wanted time spent with L.

"Eh, so you're not going to change anything Light?" Ryk questioned.

"I will, just not now." Light wanted to say but didn't. He kept quiet, making sure he took the mechanically altered voice he had not heard in years and stored it in his head for him to never forget. Every familiar word L spoke brought a small ache to his heart. No, not small, it felt as though his heart was being crushed by a giant goblin, it hurt that much.

How come was he brought to that time, and yet, he could change nothing? He was there for a reason, but he didn't know what the reason was. He wanted to ask Ryuk, he really did, but he didn't.

When he heard his mother call him for dinner, he silently stood up and walked down stairs, Ryuk following with a shrug. Light looked around and saw his sister already at the table with a smile on her face as she spotted him. Looking to the kitchen, he saw his mother bringing over some food to the table, but not before flashing her bright son a smile.

"Where's dad?" He asked casually as he strode to the table.

"Oh he's still at work, he said he would be here around dinner though, so he should be arriving soon."

"So that's why there's a fourth plate!!" Sayu exclaimed clasping her hands together happily as if she had discovered something important. Light rose an amused brow at her and she stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

Sitting down, Light and his family began to eat. The silent and comforting atmosphere was broken by Sayu asking a question. "Oi Onii-chan, what do you think of Kira and L?" Sayu asked curiously.

Light almost chocked on his food but managed to swallow. "Well...umm...I think that L is right, about Kira I mean. Someone can't just go around killing criminals just because they think they're right." Light said instinctively.

"Why do you ask sweetie?" Sachiko asked.

"Well, the people of my school are supporting Kira. Everywhere I go, whether it be the library, classroom, patio, all of them are in a Kira site posting messages. And personally, I think Kira's just a stuck up person that wants attention." Sayu huffed.

Twitching inwardly at his sisters' comment, Light had to keep from out right glaring at her. But a small part of him felt like he wanted to cry. His sister had just said what L had, just not in the same wording.

He didn't remember having had dinner with his family that night, it was good he had the chance to go back and let old memories rise, as well as new emotions.

"Hehehe, your sister is actually very smart isn't she Light?" Ryuk chuckled as he glanced at the young female Yagami. Light didn't retort, he couldn't, he would look crazy. But he did mentally agree with Ryuk, his sister was smart. He didn't like that he was being called stuck up, but, at least Sayu had a mind of her own instead of following others.

Just as the door creaked open, Light felt himself being pushed back by an invisible force. Blinking, he noticed he was standing in front of L's tombstone again.

"Ryuk..." Light managed to say.

Ryuk looked over at Light, wondering what the human boy was about to ask him. Waiting patiently, he watched Light open his mouth slightly and then close, no words ever coming out; a puzzled expression on his face.

'Spit it out!' Ryuk wanted to shout at the boy but kept silent. Shinigami's didn't lose control, no, that was what humans did, and that was why Shinigami's liked toying with them.

"Ryuk," Light repeated. "Why...why was I sent to that time? I couldn't change anything there...it was pointless." Light looked up at Ryuk, confusion swirling in his caramel eyes.

At the question, Ryuk grinned, showing off his sharp ugly teeth. "I thought you wouldn't ask Light." Ryuk said.

Seeing Lights awaiting stare, Ryuk continued. "The Wish Shop of Sweets, they are quite the interesting people. Though they seem to have the best intention at hand," 'Unlike us' "They like to give their customer a try out, a test you could say."

"...This...was a test?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"They want to see if you really wanted to change your future...the whole future, for the best. Or if you wanted to change it for the worst." Ryuk explained with a shrug. "Even though it was a short time, they could tell." 'Of course, had you not had the best intentions at hand, the magic would have vanished, leaving them as normal strawberries.' The shinigami continued in his head. Light didn't need to know this, this bit of information would be rendered useless now that the people in that shop knew Light's intentions were, in a sense, pure.

"So, wait a minute. They could see me??" Light asked frantically. "They can see what I do?" A nod from the shinigami. "How??"

"Eh, don't ask me, I've never seen them in action. Seen their work, but not them." Ryuk said

"...oh..." 'Ok, so this time was a hoax of sort, but the next time it's for real, and I'm certain I can have L.'

Light picked out another chocolate covered strawberry and eyed it, wondering how such a simple thing such as a strawberry -which L had eaten plenty of- could be filled with such magic.

"You going again Light?"

"Of course." Light replied with a small smile. Then, without hesitation, he ate the second strawberry and the same feeling of before returned. The next time he would open his eyes, he would be back in the past, the past he was now desperately trying to change.

A/N: -cries- I know it sucked, but please don't be mad at me! -cowers in dark corner of room and whimpers- I'm so sorry if I disappointed you guys, but this chapter...well...it wasn't suppose to have anything interesting, it was like filler chapter.
