Disclaimer: I don't own any of the death note character. Nor is death note itself. I do own the plot of this story, though. So please bear with it, and don't sue me.
A/N: I planned it to be oneshot, but the idea itself can't fit to one chapter. But I'm making it as short as possible. And I'm hurrying to type the next chapter, so please bear with it (again).
Summary: So his death turned out to be a dream, after all. But now that he had forseen his fate, will he continue? Or will he alter the present? LightxL; story better than summary. Please r&r...
Foreseen and Forwarned

"Yagami Light… So I wasn't wrong, but I…"
"Light…I trust you."
"The second L is Kira."
"Light, you're not Kira… I don't want to think you are."
"I've already known about your plan. I'll win without fail."
"To be honest with you, I didn't want to do such a thing…"
"You're right…. I am Kira"
"I'll kill this bastard!"
"You're not God! You're trash!"
"He.. Help me, Ryuuku. Already, you're the only one I can rely on."
"The one who will die… is Light."
"No matter how I look at it, you're still the loser, Light."
"Well, enough for a long time. We did kill some boredom, didn't we? Various interesting things we did…"
"Stop it. You're gonna pity him this time?"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to pass away!"
"Shit!"
And there was silence…
Light found himself somewhere that he doesn't recognize. He took a look at his hand, which is full of blood. That bastard, Matsuda, he's a complete idiot. If he want to fire at someone, it should be Near, or any one other than me. He wandered around, not so sure of where to go. But before he can get anywhere, he heard it. A chant, like an occult or something. He followed it, curiosity getting better of him. He's running, footsteps on puddles of water echoed throughout the place. He halted, to the place where the sound came from.
What he saw made him stop in his tracks.
He saw everyone he killed; the criminals who suffered from his justice, and the ones who dared to oppose his ideals; his rival, L; his father; all praising someone sitting in the throne hovering over them, like he was some sort of God. And sitting in that godly throne, was Kira, he himself.
Kira gestured to his followers to stop, and spoke aloud, enough for Light to hear, "Ah. You're here at last, Light."
Light didn't answer, not that Kira wanted to. He continued, "I acknowledge your efforts to get rid of evil in the world. I appreciate it, you've done great, actually. You've managed to decrease the crime rate by 70 in 6 years, and that happened because of your hard work to cleanse this rotten world…"
Light, at last, found his voice to speak to what he thinks is a despicable man who doesn't know what true justice is (doesn't he realize that he's saying that to himself?). "What's happening here?"
Kira, for once, looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"What's happening here?" Light repeated. "Why're they worshipping you?"
Kira laughed. "Of course, you would ask. They're the ones you've killed, anyway. It's just the fact that they have appreciated your efforts to make a better world, and they have accepted that it is their fate to die, for they have sinned greatly—"
"Sinned greatly? They don't deserve to die like this!"
Kira gazed intently at Light, "Why, Light? You're judgement faltered all of a sudden,"
"It's your judgement that's faltered!" He then looked for someone. Someone, he believed, who shouldn't be there in the first place.
"Ryuuzaki! You don't believe this crap, don't you?"
Ryuuzaki stood at the foot of Kira's throne. He, it seems, became Kira's right hand. "I didn't, at first. But when I pondered over it, while I was here, I thought that he is right in this whole thing in the first place. Aren't you happy by that? Together, we can rid the evil. We need you, Light. Kira needs you."
"No, I don't want to. This is enough. All of you. You may have sinned, but that doesn't mean you deserve this," he walked backwards, slowly, intending to run any second, "This is not right!" he ran. Ryuuzaki followed after him. But no sooner after that he tripped over, and saw a pair of feet not unlike Ryuuzaki's. He looked up, and saw the three best detectives, looking down at him.
He's already here? He stood up. He heard footsteps coming near him. He turned his head a little, expecting to see himself about to sentence him or something, but saw Ryuuzaki instead.
Wait a minute! There are two Ryuuzakis? He looked, left and right, confirming his theory. Why are there two Ryuuzaki?
The one he saw first after he tripped over spoke first, "Wake up, Yagami-kun. You're having a nightmare."
The other one spoke after, "Don't listen to him, he's not me."
The first L got pissed off, but not because of the other L, "Hey, are you listening to me? Wake up, or I'll kick you!"
Light's about to ask something, but was interrupted by the first L's kick in his stomach.
Light opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the floor. So it's just a dream, huh? He tried to stand up, but immediately felt a stinging pain in his stomach, "Ittai…" He turned his head to the mattress, where he fell from.
"So you're awake. I thought for a second you're dead. But my kick wasn't that hard, was it?" said L, who is sitting at the side of the bed, knees at chest level, back hunched, thumb nibbled, and eyes staring at his prime suspect.
"So you kicked me. I thought it was also part of the dream. But then again, you shouldn't have kicked me. It hurts, you know," Light replied.
"But you wouldn't wake up, Yagami-kun," he reasoned
"Well, you could have pour cold water on my face, or slap me."
"I did slap you, but it didn't take effect whatsoever. And pouring cold water on you would just ruin the mattress."
You're just making excuses to kick me, bastard! Light thought angrily, but replied normally, "Point taken." He stood up, returning to the bed, but not intending on sleeping again. Who knows what might happen. L returned to the other side of the bed.
"What did you dream about, anyway? You looked kind of scared out there. And you're saying something like 'It's not right!' or anything like that," L had to ask.
"Really, did I say that?"
"Yeah, so what's that about?"
Light thought for a moment. He wasn't that sure if he's going to tell him or not. He wasn't even sure if he was Kira or not, so why spill it? But the whole thing is bothering him. What if that happens? What would he do? Would he let his friend, his only love, die? He doesn't know what to think.
Wait! Rewind and Freeze!
Did he say 'love'? Definitely, he doesn't think of Ryuuzaki like that. And anyway, he has many quirks that he doesn't like. But didn't he think of it as fascinating? The way that he sits; the way that he touch things like it's going to bite him; the way he eats sweets, like there's no tomorrow; the way he nibbled his thumb; the way his lips look like, so soft and smooth, wondering if the 25-year old detective would taste like his favourite strawberry shortcake? Enough of that, I don't want to know where this train of thought will lead to.
"Light-kun, are you alright," okay, snap back to reality, Yagami Light.
"Huh? Of course, I am. I'm just… thinking of something,"
"You're sure?" there was a tinge of concern in L's tone. Surely, he won't feel concerned about his prime suspect, or he wouldn't have put those long cuffs in the first place.
"Yeah, don't worry about it." He rolled in the bed, sleep claiming him.
No, he would find the right time to tell him.
