Final Thoughts

Something's wrong. . .I know something's wrong.

Watari's not answering me. . .

"Watari?" I ask, my voice confused, staring up at the screens above me.

They suddenly start to fade and my heart skips a beat.

"Watari!" I cry, sounding more childish than I would have liked.

The screens all flash "All data deletion" at the same time, plain black text on a burning white background. I'm lost now, not knowing what to do. I'm scared. . . no, make that terrified. I know what this means and I don't want to acknowledge it. My mentor, that the only person who has been there for me since I was a small child is now dead.

"Data deletion? What the hell's going on?" Mogi snaps, startling me slightly, not that it shows.

"I told Watari to make sure that he should erase all information in the event that something were to happen to him."

Aizawa starts, "If something were to happen?"

"Could it be?" Matsuda asks.

"Where is the Shinigami?" I ask, starting to turn in my chair.

Chief Yagami is the one who answers, though it is not an answer I would have desired. "Good question. I don't see it."

"It disappeared!"

"What's going on?" The chief's gruff voice echoes through the air.

"Everyone! The Shiniga-"

My heart suddenly shudders in my chest, pain flaring from the left half of my chest, down my arm, paralyzing me. My breath catches in my throat and I silently gasp. The pain grows, flaring throughout my chest, cutting of my air. The spoon I had been holding drops and it is almost as if I can hear it falling through the air. I'm falling sidewise, out of my chair, but there is nothing I can do to stop the fall.

I know what is happening.

I am going to die.

Arms catch me before I hit the floor with a thud that seems to resound in the room, which has gone silent.

"Ryuzaki!" Matsuda yells, but his voice is muffled, like it is coming through water. "What's wrong?"

I stare up into Light's face as he holds me, the bells echoing in my head, flashes of my past dancing before my eyes. Interspersed with my past, I see Light's face, almost stunned, his eyes wide.

His face. . .

It is lit with the red emergency lights, giving it a fiery glow.

A cruel smirk twists the corners of his lips up and I know.

With my final, fading breath, I know the answer to the question I have been asking for a year.

I know who Kira is.

Light is Kira

And

Kira is Light.

Light Yagami has killed me.

The world goes white as the bells fade.

I feel my thoughts fading as I slip from this life, my last sight, Light Yagami's face, cruel, cold and evil, bent over me, my last thought, "he did this and I was right. . . Light Yagami was the first Kira."

A/N: Um. . . I dunno.

5:56 am. I should be writing a paper.

But this popped into my head.

GAH.

I guess I needed to get some stuff out. . . Sorry. I'm depressing, I know.

All dialogue is from the anime, episode 25, "Silence."

Review? Please?
