Just Take Me Home
My heart beats slowly.
I feel that it will be over soon.
Sunlight warms my face a last time up.
I feel the pain, created by the bullets, which pierced my body.
It hurts.
Good that it wouldn´t hurt long.
My eyes are wide open, but I can´t see the things around me.
Light.
My name.
But it wasn´t my name anymore.
I see myself, as baby, as child, as teenager.
See me through the eyes of another person.
And then…
Kira.
My real name?
My real self?
Only an insane mass murderer, like Near has said.
Is it true? Is he correct?
Do I deserve the death?
"You not, Light. But Kira does."
This voice…
For a short moment I notice what is around me.
I see L at the bottom of the stairs where I lie and die.
Words are modelling in my mouth but they will never leave it.
I cannot speak anymore.
"You needn't do this. I can hear you."
Slowly, so slowly that I would like to shout at him to hurry, he's coming to me and sits down by my feet.
Like he was sitting always.
Curious buckled posture.
If he had become old, he would have gotten evil spinal and back disorder.
A very small smile flits over Ryuzakis face. "Yes, you're right." He sighs. "I would like to have been a few more years on earth anyway, you know?"
What he says is no allegation.
It is only a observation.
"I'm sorry", I think anyhow.
These aren't nearly the right words for this situation.
But what do you say to your best friend after you have murdered him only to follow your ideals undisturbed?
Unreachable ideals, which killed me in the end…
I swallow heavily.
I wake up to what's coming now.
Neither heaven nor hell.
I've got no idea of the place where I will land.
"Maybe you'll meet Takada there, or this Mikami", tries Ryuzaki to cheer me up.
Surprise enters me. He knows it? From where? How?
"I couldn't let you out of my sight. Without me you only screw things up."
A tear is rolling down my cheek. "With you I screw things up too. I killed you, do you remember?"
"You're right again. One question, Light…"
I only look at him, I can't do anything else.
"Do you regret killing me? Do you regret anyone of your murders?"
I try to think about it. It works barely. Everything feels so heavy…
"Light!" Ryuzaki gives me a impatient tap. "You have to answer!"
"Why?"
"Then I could bring you home."
"Home?" I frighten. "But I can't go to heaven."
"I can't, too, at least not alone." He smiles again a little bit. "Do you know, Light, you were sometimes careless, too, when you were asleep. You couldn't guard the Death Note 24 hours a day. Everyone has to sleep."
"Everyone, besides you." Slowly I comprehend it. "You have someone…with the Death Note…unnoticed by everyone…"
"I had to, Light. It was the only way."
"The only way for what, for God's sake?"
This time his smile is bigger, more honest, and shortly I could see his real self.
L Lawliet.
"The only way, to let you not out of my sight forever."
His view chatters upwards.
He looks into the light for a short time and looks pestering at me. "The question, Light, answer the question!"
I close my eyes.
"Light!"
"Yes. Yes, I regret it."
It's the truth.
And while I'm thinking it, Kira dies.
I hear his scream, which is my one.
And I feel how the soul which was mine comes to nothing.
"Well done."
Ryuzakis words are the last thing Light Yagami hears when he dies too.
After Kira.
Because Kira and Light Yagami were maybe one and the same person.
But in the moment when Light began to regret there was no room for Kira anymore.
Seconds later Ryuk appears and looks thoughtful at the corps of the man, whose name he has written into the Death Note shortly before.
He knows that Kira is waiting for him, when he goes now into the world of the Shinigami.
Kira, the dark side of Light Yagami.
Kira, who has taken him over.
Kira, who has to leave him.
"Damn", thinks the Shinigami and eats with relish a bright red apple. "This L has fooled me. I get Kira because he has used the Death Note most. But Light Yagami, with whom it has began…"
Ryuk opens his Death Note and flick to the page on which he has written Lights name.
There where a minute before the name was is now one sign.
The sign for God.
"…This Light Yagami belongs now to another one."
"Ryuzaki?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you for bringing me home." Light smiles and takes a half afraid and half hopeful look at the big gate which is floating in the nothing like both of them, too.
Caught in a parallel world.
But only until Light has the heart to open the door.
Ryuzaki smiles and puts his arm gentle around the shoulder. "Let's go."
I´m translating another One-Shot of BeyondsLady, it is about Matts and Mellos death and called "Down"
Think I need two or three more days.
