Requiem For a god's dream

"A perfect world, by any means, that's what I wanted. When I had found that notebook, and tested it, I knew my dream could be made into reality. Little did I realize that you were soon on my tail ,L, so I had to find you, and eliminate you." Light said smirking at the raven haired detective, huddling up in a chair across from him. "So, you immediately decided to start making a better world, by killing people?" L said, curiously peaking at Light with black eyes before looking at his Banana Split. " Don't you see? I had to. There was so much crime, so much of it, it was choking the world, I have the power to fix it, so why not use it? Why not strive to direct the world into a new era of peace?" Light's glare was fixed on L.

The room in which they were conversing in was a very poorly lit one, the type of building people would usually have private conversations in, and Light knew that L wanted something, he always did. Taking a sip of his drink he looked at L coldly. " So, now that you know, what are you going to do about it?" Light said, smirking, he had already set his plan in motion, he had Misa stationed right outside, peaking in, looking at L's name, but only will she write it down on his signal, first, he wanted to know what L will do, and has already planned. " First, let me say, when I first heard of you, I was very interested, you and me, aren't very different." L took another bite of his ice cream. His toes curled in and out, and he started to zone out, probably thinking ahead. ' how foolish, he will die any moment now, and his last meal is a banana split... L, you and I are very different. Unlike you, I am God of the new world, you are merely the man who tried to stop me, and are about to die right now!' Light was about to give Misa the signal when he had just caught L looking at him. " I will help you." L murmured. Light's world froze.

The clock was ticking, and Lights mind was as well. ' What could he possibly mean, Help me, hah, he spent several years trying to catch me!' Light's eyes studied the look L, who was staring back at him, with very intense study. " What are you going to do? Kill me right now?" L was sounding a bit cocky, he knew very well Light had Misa there, and still acted dumb. Light looked at him again, speechless. " What.. do you mean " Help." Light was very cautious, one wrong move could blow this. " Ahh. When I was still a fledgling detective, I had this case in America, a child killing." L's eyes glazed over as he continued. " I had this one solved, it was the father, how predictable." Suddenly the emotionless L, started sounding angry, and Light thought it was at himself. " He had a previous history of violence and mental disorders. So, when I revealed this obvious fact to the police they made the arrest, but they let him go, not enough " evidence." Light trickled through the boarded up windows, and Light saw Misa's face peaking threw.

L just paused, steadied himself, and got up from the chair. " Weeks later, We had a double homicide, his wife, and other child. This time, they had enough to arrest." Light looked at L, he knew where this was going, but slightly surprised that this was the result, it was all to cliché. " Just imagine, if that man had gotten his punishment, those two would have lived, And I would have already have you executed." " That's it, just one case? Surely one case was not enough to sway you?" L looked at Light, and a slight look of disgust flashed on his face. " You didn't see their bodies..." The room grew oddly silent, Light couldn't hear himself breathe. " Why help me?" he asked again.

L looked at him again, emotionless as ever. " Because, you are justice, not perfect justice, but better than mine." There it was, L's admitted defeat right in front of Light, but he wasn't so sure. " So.. you're just giving up?" This is definitely out of character for L, if he ever had a character. "Giving up, no, more like switching teams, I'll help you clean this world up, and make, as you called it, a new era of peace." He reached for another spoonful. ' Smart, he purposefully gave himself away, That way I'll look stupid if I question if he is serious, he seems committed, I can kill him anytime I want to, I will have to wait and see what he does first.' Getting up, Light looked at L. " You seem to have made your decision, by standing by me, you do realize that you are only merely a pawn in this game." " Light, you never were good with people, were you?"

…...

" L is dead." Mr. Yagami reported to the task force. Among the sad faces, Light couldn't help but smirk a little at this announcement. ' All according to plan.' This was all touch and go from here, Light had never , in a million years, deduced that this would be the ending. " What do we do now?" Matsuda said anxiously. ' Wait, the real fun is just beginning, Matsuda.' All things considered for Light, it had been a good day, his nemesis was officially dead, and there was nothing to stand in his way. This day had been a day of mourning, for the task force, but when it was done, Light headed out in the snow filled air, walking to the nearest cemetery. It was there, in the small, rugged, and snow filled corner of it that there was a grave. L Lawliet. Light looked at it, it was too shabby for the likes of L, but it would do. ' I don't have any regrets, plus I have to keep up my image.' When it was all finished, he started to walk home. That's when his phone rang.

" Light-kun, why did you rent me out a motel, when I stayed at places they were usually fine establishments, not a dump, thankfully they let me keep my laptop." " Calm down, you only have to stay there for a week, L." ' This is going to be very fun, indeed.' Light thought.
