A/N: Okay, I realize that this is extremely short, but I felt that the last sentence created an ending, and I couldn't write anything before this section without writing out the show/manga. Therefore, this will be the introduction. This is the revision of my story Becoming a God, and I will be continuing to rewrite and republish it. Thank you for reading, and I always love to hear from you!
Shot. Heard the echoing sound of the gun, felt the bullet pierce his skin, yet he ran. He didn't get far, however, before spotting the shinigami. Ryuk had been waiting for this moment since Light had found the Death Note. He had to admit, the boy was fairly entertaining. Light recalled the words of the shinigami that stood before him quite clearly. He remembered that, should he die, it would be at the hand of Ryuk. It would be Ryuk writing Light's name in the book. Ryuk would kill Light, and they both knew the time had come. Opening to a page in the notebook, Ryuk scribbled, "Light Yagami," picturing the teen's face. It was done. Light did not die once the sixty seconds had passed, however. Instead, it was a longer time. He knew what this meant. Ryuk had specified a cause of death. It would be over five minutes before he actually died, and he had no clue what would happen. So used to being in control, Light hated the feeling of helplessness. He hated not knowing what came next. He hated being at the mercy of another. Most of all, he hated having lost. It was only a few more seconds before he was dead. Being unable to go to either heaven or hell, he knew as much about where he would end up as he knew about how he would get there. Light Yagami had lost. It was the end...for now.
