Dawn of the World
By: FoCuSyOuRmInD
Summary: An fallen angel shows Raito the new world he had been seeking to create, only to be born after he was gone.
Chapter One: Apocolypse
Raito screamed and ran as fast as he could, his body soaked in his own blood. HE had been beaten at his own game by not only by Near and Mello, but L who had long since died. That bastard L, he had planned this all along. Even as he was dying he new he had won! He had planned this from the start, using his connections to the geniuses of the world and unlimited amounts of money and intellect to trap Raito in a net that was invisible to his all seeing eye. Then he passed the net over to his successors who, after some time, had discovered how to capture him in the threaded contraption. Then both used his ego against him which led to his defeat. Now Raito had become the hunted, instead of the wild hunter in the safari of life.
Storming through the doors of an abandoned warehouse Raito tripped over his own feet and collapsed on a metal staircase, his blood leaking from the his hand. "Damn that Matsuda, this is his fault!", Raito cursed mentally referring to the wound as the dark of the dark of the setting sun began to set in. The last rays of sunlight were slowly dying along with Raito, and his new world. As time passed and the voices of those who had once followed him grew nearer; fear began to etch it's way into his mind.
Misa? Mom? Father? Sayu?, Raito began to plead the names of his 'loved' ones. They weren't there anymore. Sayu was traumatized, Misa didn't remember anything but the thoughts of becoming a 'woman', and his father was dead. His mother was to heartbroken to even talk to him anymore. Raito had lost everything; his world.
On a building across from the storage house sat Ryuk, his Death Note in hand, "Hyuk, hyuk. Raito, didn't I say that in the end I would be the one to kill you?" Ryuk flipped the Death Note open and pulled out a skull pen in one smooth movement. On a black empty page, in large, blood red letters, he scribbled down the name 'Yagami Raito'.
"I guess that passed a least a little time."
Back with Raito the lights slowly began to fade when a pounding in his heart brought him back slightly. He couldn't breathe or move or any such thing; he was dying because Ryuk had kept his word. Ryuk was killing him, but on the inside the child prodigy was already dead.
In his mind, Raito mentally cursed at the Shinigami, "Damn you Ryuk, I didn't even get to finish creating the new world."
Darkness towered over his soul and scooped his human soul from his body, pulling what was left of Raito's mind into the dark corners of Mu; nothingness. Raito twisted and screamed and the hand gripped him tighter and launched him through gray gates into the world before the gates closed and locked him in, only to disappear moments after.
"It's dark."
Raito got to his feet, realizing it to be desperately difficult do to the silver chains that now hugged tightly to his wrists. The chains fell to the black ground beneath him and continued on, sprawling on into darkness until they disappeared. Around Raito's neck a key had appeared, but his arms could only move so far and the chains didn't allow him to bring his arm even slightly above his waist line.
With his speedy intellect Raito discovered that if he moved anywhere it would have to be the road created by the never ending chain. Cursing mentally at his lack of freedom Raito moved slowly in the direction of the chain. Even as he moved the chain kept pulling and pulling, never allowing him anymore free movement or to go back where he began.
"It's Empty"
Raito slowly wandered for what he believed to be days. Never had he seen another person, and as time went by his soul seemed to clutch harder and harder to the idea of failure that plagued his mind after failing to create a new world. He was dieing on the inside of his soul, and he knew it. He had died life lonely and heartbroken and now he was to stay like that for all eternity. Raito soon discovered that after some time, that he was losing his sanity.
"And I'm all alone."
Raito trudged over the black ground with his head a downcast and his eyes empty. He clutched his fists. This was all that damn L's fault! If he had never interfered maybe he would have been able to create his perfect world after all. Now all his ideals, his dreams, had suddenly plummeted down the drains of history. It was all his fault that he had failed! Raito repeated this to himself over and over again in a trance, for he truly believed that none of this was his upbringing. And each and every time he would add more to the truths he had created for himself. Yagami Raito had officially become insane.
Yes, he thought mentally, it was them that caused the end of the beginning of the perfect world; one that would remain uncompleted. They had brought him up and tossed him out like a rag used for cleaning up messes. In the end the rag was too dirty to help them anymore. Raito's plot had been perfect and only when a simple human mistake had been encountered it had been his downfall. His eyes darkened with insanity as the time began to pass more slowly. He was losing what was left of his mind to the insanity and loneliness of Mu. Raito's time was almost up as a lonely figure of this world, and before long he would simply disappear and the empty shell of his body would remain traveling through the ends of time.
"It's the human's faults."
Raito was definitely not human, he began to explain to himself all too eagerly, he was Kira the god of the new, beautiful, peace filled world that would no longer be. Now the creation of the new world would forever be lost and incomplete. He was god, but after he was sent as the new worlds Messiah his plans had become incomplete due to the human factor of any possible outcomes. The new world no longer had a future, after all, he the god was no longer there to guide the people to it.
"Your wrong, stupid human.", a voice sang out in the empty space around him. Wind erupted from the black skies and the black 'earth' beneath him shook and rattled. Raito's eyes flashed with anger at the voice. He was not Human, he was a god. The savior. Raito turned to look at the intruder.
On the ebony colored wind was carried a girl, or what seemed to resembled one; Raito couldn't remember what a girl exactly looked like anymore. Her hair was long and white on one side of her head, and short and black on the other. Her right eye was blue, a pure bliss of light color like the clouds of heaven and the day time skies on earth mixed into one vibrant color, and her left eye was blood red, a fiery inferno of golds and red flares combined into a pool of red raspberry. The strange woman's kimono was a pale yellow and gold that ran down to her shin on the lighter, more vibrant, half of her body while the other half was dark and ragged with cuts and tares. The fabrics were shaded colored with blacks, blues and purples; the cloth barely reaching the tip of her kneecap. The girl was abnormally skinny and her skin pale and frightening like a death gods. Except she was almost...
"...Deathly Beautiful"
Raito had wondered what was keeping her up in the air during her flight down to him until he finally caught a glimpse of scrawny backside. On the light side of her body was a large black wing that was torn between the once feathered bones and barely even covered in skin and feathers anymore. It was amazing that the wing could even be used to fly. On the darker side of the demonic girl's body was a tiny white angel wing, barely even one fourth of the size of the black one. After much analysis of the female descending down before him Raito soon discovered that this was no ordinary woman created of his insanity in order to fulfill the blank spaces in his mind, she was a-
"Fallen Angel", replied the girl, completing his thoughts as she swooped down next to him. She fell to her knees as she landed and pulled her wings back into her body with cracks and other disturbing sounds that sent shivers of his spine. She looked up to him, still on her knees, and smiled evilly revealing a black tongue and shiny white teeth.
"Kira no Yagami Raito, I'm going to show you the new world you have created, only after you passed away"
Raito's insanity crumbled to the ground, and his right mind was born again.
This idea hit me and I've decided I'm going to continue it. This story is going to be short, unlike the future plans of my other stories, and a sort of centric on the world that Raito had dreamed of creating but 'failed' to after his death. This story with halve at least 3 to 6 chapters and no more unless I feel I Haven't covered an area of the world that's not discussed in the series. I'm doing this to relatively pass time as I think abiut future chapters of my other stories, and am hoping that writing this story with help inspire me to write the next chapters in the others. It might even inspire me to write fight scenes if good enough.
I'm hoping that this might shove fanfiction in a whole new chapter, maybe influence others to write stories ralated to after the 'Death Note' series, too. I just haven't found that many yet. So please review, so I can have other people's input.
