I Saw the Sky

I walked out of the room and shut the door behind me. I leaned against it, smirking. Fools. Complete and utter fools. They follow me like dogs, worshiping me and trusting me. The only one that doesn't is L, yet he doesn't have any tangible proof that I am Kira.

I head home down the empty streets, Ryuk behind me the whole time, casually munching on an apple. As I walk, a puddle catches my eye and I pause in my steps. Ryuk makes a noise of protest, but I ignore him. In the puddle I see the reflection of something so beautiful. Something so unbelievably pure. I raise my head to look up, and for the first time it seems, I see the sky.

Of course, I've seen the sky before. I am a living creature after all. But now, in this moment, amidst all the chaos, the sky seems like it's the most beautiful thing in the world. It represents my dreams and goals. I want to pure the world of all evil. I want to cleanse this horrid planet.

The pale blue color of it captivates me, and Ryuk is still questioning my behavior. His whines get on my nerves, but I do my best to ignore him.

Yes. I will achieve the role of God. Even if I have to kill my own family, I swear to myself and I will give this world what it needs. I see in the sky the hope for the future. Oh, the glory that will fall upon me when that idiot is dead and I reveal myself to the world. Crowds will scream my name, thanking me for purifying their planet.

The clouds in my perfect sky shift and I smile my first real smile in days. I am an actor, no, the main actor, in a tragic story. I play my part too well, and sometimes, when I accidentally let my guard down, I see in him, perhaps, the only true friend I've ever had.

But even he must go. He must especially go.

I realized my hopes, my dreams, my future, and my purpose when I finally saw the sky.

Ahhh just a little Death Note drabble. I'm going to be writing a lot of drabbles btw, because they just pop into my mind so easily. DN is not mine! Sorry if this feels like it has no point OO lol
