Disclaimer: Do not own Harry Potter nor Death Note…unfortunately.

Summary: Life is hard for Harry after the Final Battle, so why not make it better by moving to Japan? Death Notes, apples, and Shinigamis, oh my!

I want to thank a very wonderful authoress, KounetsuDeb, who has been kind to look over this chapter for me. Thank you very much, my partner-in-crime!

The Introduction

Click…

"In recent news, there have been several reports of criminals dying through heart attacks after a period of peace. Could this be the work of Ki-"

Click…

"Kir-"

Sigh…

Click…

Silence…

Beep beep beep…

"Hello?...No, nothing much. Just news of Kira again." Snorts. "Makes me glad I don't have to worry about it." Sigh. "Okay, I'll call you later, I gotta get things set up for tomorrow. Bye."

Setting the phone down, the young man stood up, stretched, and walked into the bathroom, cooling his face with water before staring into the mirror.

Bright, Avada Kedavra green eyes staring back.

~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~

To-Oh University

Flip….

Gentle chewing of thumb fingernail…

Sig-…

"Hey, Yagami-kun. Are you having a good day?" Blank, insomniac eyes stared up as the son of

Yagami Soichiro approached his bench.

Murmuring a few quiet words to the young woman walking with him, Light left her, walking quickly to where L sat.

"Ah, Ryuzaki. I'm surprised to see you out…" Eyes narrow slightly, "You often say that you feel uncomfortable in society."

Dark eyes blinked lazily. "Yet I find it a good day to be out in public."

Light gritted his teeth in annoyance as he gazed down at L, who was calmly putting his book away. That bastard, he thought, it's almost like he knew I planned to kill him. By him coming out, he most likely told the investigation team to suspect me if he dies any time soon.

He sighed, trying to calm himself enough to think rationally. Quickly changing the subject, Light gave L a polite smile, "Well, since you're out, want to get some food?"

Carefully marking his place, L stood, slipping his feet into his shoes. "I have a craving for cake….strawberry shortcake…" He murmured as an afterthought.

All thoughts of food, cake and otherwise, were dropped when Light let out a small 'Oomph' sound. A petite, blond woman in the midst of glomping the young man. "Light-kun! Misa Misa had work to do here, so she thought to come say 'hi'!"

She cried out happily, large eyes staring up at him with adoration.

Standing by Light, L stared at Misa wide-eyed, a finger pressed against his lower lip. Under such scrutiny, Light was starting to feel unease until L let out a small laugh. "I envy you..Light-kun…I have been a big fan of Misa since the magazine from issue 18 in March."

Several people in the area looked up at that and, after noticing that Misa really was the model, started crowding her.

L paid the people no mind, instead focusing his stare on a person across the grounds, who struck his interest. Hmm…

~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~

Stepping out of the shower, Harry, or Haruhi as he was now called, wrapped a towel around his waist. Brushing his hair, he quickly braided it, using a leather hair thong to keep it in place. Quickly dressing into a pair of jeans and a shirt, he slipped on his sandals before heading down into his bakery.

Life had not been kind to Harry, you see.

After Voldemort was finally offed, Harry quickly found himself under the care of Madame Pomphrey, or Poppy as she kept reminding him, having passed out as the scar on his forehead began to fade.

When he came to, it was with a grim facial expression that Poppy told him he had a medical problem. It wasn't a dominant gene in James, but the exposure to the Avada Kedavra spell twice in his lifetime must have brought it out.

He still didn't know what the technical term of his problem was, just that his friends nicknamed it as…Uke Syndrome….it gave him a short life span….shorter for a wizard at least, and he's had his own best mate drool over him.

Harry shuddered and stopped that train of thought. Right, nothing more disturbing than having your own male friend lust after you…or any other guy friend for that matter.

However the problem has gotten worse. The problem of fans have spread, not to just fangirls, but fanBOYS, as well. The pushing and shoving, even going so far as to cause bodily harm, from the fans frightened him out of any possible thoughts he might have had at being in a relationship.

The muggle world was not much better. There people either liked him or despised him. Women did not want a significant other who was just as beautiful, if not more so, wishing for men with muscles. Men would be disgusted after finding out that the woman they thought they were hitting on was really a male.

So, deciding it would be better to just move, he decided to choose a place that would have culture, touring places, and entertainment. He choose Japan.

A place to start anew, a place to spread his wings and make a business without having to worry of the thoughts of the populace, a place….

He squinted at the bakery's refrigerator. A place where he needed to find the nearest grocery store. I could have sworn I bought enough eggs and sugar for the cakes, he thought absently.

Sighing, he grabbed his wallet , and locked the door.

Looking at a map he borrowed, he eyed the names. Finding a grocery, he saw that the nearest one was on the other side of the To-Oh University campus.

Checking his watch, he decided to save time by cutting through the campus, unaware of fact that, not only did he catch the attention of several college men, but also the attention of a certain dark-eyed insomniac.

~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~

Looking at the black-haired male…female?...if the person was female, then it was a very flat-chested girl…not that breasts really affected L's rationality. A person was a person was a person, in his mindset. Be it female or male. L never gave a thought of whether he was attracted to members of the opposite sex or not (quite frankly the Kira Investigation Team just thought he was asexual), but he often pondered what having one of the so-called 'relationship' was actually like.

So, being the socially awkward detective that he was, he left Light-kun and Misa on their own, though not after quietly pick pocketing her cell phone with no one the wiser, and quickly shadowed the young person.

L looked on in faint interest as the younger person headed into the grocery and started to pick up enough cake ingredients to last any normal person a month.

Cake? The detective thought in interest. Mmmm….cake…Perhaps he'd share some with me?

Deciding to approach the youth after he made more observations, he silently exited the store, buying a paper at the newspaper vendor outside to keep suspicion away. He silently stood, reading the paper, until the person came out once more, where L began the act of following once more.

As he had to keep a certain amount of distance between himself and his target, L was unable to react immediately when he heard a startled cry. Sharply looking up, he saw his target being accosted by a college student. In fact it was a college student he remembered seeing on campus, one of the many who was interested in the being before him.

Studying the two, he quickly nodded to himself at his decision before quietly approaching the dominating male. Tapping the student's shoulder once, he muttered in a nonchalant way, "I believe this person asked you to leave," before casually punching the guy away and into an alleyway.

After seeing the guy slouch off, grumbling to himself, L finally got his first good look at the creature he's been observing for the past half hour.

Lithe body, shorter in stature than his own, waist length hair pulled into a thick braid, L dimly wondered if the locks were as silky as they looked, and unusual green eyes.

L did something he rarely, if ever, did. He slowly extended his hand for a handshake, murmuring casually, "I'm Ryuzaki."
