Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome to my first full Death Note story. I know that the idea of their being a Life note, the opposite of the Death Note isn't anything new, but this isn't just that. It also has other stories within it that don't pertain to either notebook. For example there'll be a little bit with Misa before anybody starts being brought back to life. One thing I want to mention is that in this Sayu is perfectly fine despite everything that happened with the Mafia. The main reason I did this is because it'll be something I won't have to deal with when writing and it could also make updates easier if I don't have something difficult getting in the way. Also there'll be some interesting things concerning Light. However I don't want to spoil anything so I'm just gonna start the story.
I just want to mention that this first chapter will probably be short.
CHAPTER 1:LOST LIGHT
Misa Amane couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had just received the news that Light Yagami was dead. Apparently after he was revealed to be Kira, he was shot and found dead ironically of a heart attack.
Tears ran down her cheeks, "Light's gone." she said to herself.
Even if her love was never truly returned, she loved him nonetheless.
Matsuda had been the one to shoot him in anger. He respected and looked up to the late chief, Soichiro Yagami. The fact that Light had dragged the man who out everything on the line for this investigation to his death sickened the young detective.
He'd lost any and all respect or any other positive emotion towards Light in that single moment of the revelation. They spent years chasing after Kira, who was exactly who L had expected him to be all along.
Misa didn't care about all this though. All she cared about was that the Light of her world was gone. It would soon become nothing, but a void of darkness as she realized how real and terrifyingly true this situation was.
There would be no more dates, no more idle conversations, no more jobs, and more kisses.
She felt so hollow. How could she love someone that never even showed an ounce of genuine affection to her. He needed her to his plans and she knew it, but she had hoped to break some ground on trying to get him into a serious relationship. Now that chance was forever lost.
Light Yagami was no more. She didn't know what become of him. One of the many prices of the Death Note was that upon death the user's soul could enter neither Heaven nor Hell.
She wished him luck wherever he was.
Around the world there was a mix of different emotions.
Many were glad to see that the crisis had finally come to an end.
Others who respected and followed Kira were alarmed and went into hiding to avoid punishment for their aid to what was considered the worst crime ever committed.
The family and friends of Light himself were shocked and saddened at the revelation.
How could someone so smart and gifted turn into something like that.
He had so much potential and promise, but instead he spent six years of his life on a murder spree in some insane attempt to create a better world.
Most of the world's population saw Light as a serial killer. His followers saw him as an inspiration and a visionary.
Misa knew what it was like to be one of the members of the latter group. She had loved and trusted Light. She'd done anything he'd asked that she could do. She understood his vision and vowed to help him make it happen.
That had all went up in flames at this very moment.
It had actually been Matsuda who informed her of this, "No please tell me this is some kind of cruel joke. This can't be happening!" she said having an emotional breakdown.
The young detective felt a slight pang of guilt and sympathy for this girl, "I'm sorry, but it's the truth. He tried to kill all of us. I panicked and shot his hand. I let my anger get the best of me when I shot him a few more times. I didn't even realize was going on until I calmed down. I'm sorry Misa, but he was found dead on a staircase just a couple of hours ago." he said grimly.
The blonde girl let the tears roll down her cheeks, "I want to blame you, but I just can't. I should've known something was wrong, but it's too late now." she said wiping her eyes.
He put a hand on her shoulder, "His mother and sister would actually like to speak with you." he informed her.
She calmed herself down and took a deep breath, "Did they say when?" she asked.
He removed his hand and reached in his pocket, "Here. They said for you to read this." answered handing her a folded piece of paper.
She smiled, "Thanks." she said.
He ran a hand through his dark hair, "Well I better get going. See you around Misa." he said leaving as she shut the door behind him.
She wasn't in the mood to even say goodbye. Especially since it was practically him who killed the one she loved the most.
She still couldn't feel as mad at him as she wanted to. She somewhat expected something like this to happen, she just was hoping to have a bit more time.
One of the reasons that Misa wasn't very upset by his actions was she could easily see that Matsuda probably saw Light's father as just as much of a father figure as Light did himself.
Something that had occurred to her that she needed to do as soon as possible was hide the Death Note that she still possessed.
Light had made a plan in what he ironically considered to be the unlikely event that he got captured.
The plan had involved burying the Death Note in a secret location that only the two of them and Ryuk had known about.
Putting those thoughts aside for now, she unfolded the piece of paper she'd been given.
It was an invitation to dinner at the Yagami house tomorrow evening.
She read it to herself for a quick second before refolding the paper.
She sighed, "I guess I have somewhere to go tomorrow." she said.
It was afternoon the next day and Misa was trying on different outfits.
She was wondering if she should wear her usual Gothic Lolitia outfit or her new dark red short dress.
She wanted to looked good since she was being invited over for the first time without Light himself being present.
The thought saddened her, but she knew that she had to accept it.
He wasn't coming back and she was painfully aware of that.
Her phone rang and she put down both outfits before going to answer it.
She accepted the call, "Hello." she said.
On the other end was someone she wasn't expecting, "Hey Misa. Mom and I were just wondering if you're coming over tonight." Light's younger sister said sounding rather down.
Misa was caught off guard as throughout all the time that she'd known the younger girl, she'd always been a rather happy and kind spirited person.
Hearing the sadness that she was trying to cover up wasn't helping the mood she was in at all, "Hey Sayu. Yes I'm coming over. I'm actually making sure that I'm ready ahead of time and I've cleared my schedule for something like this." she told the college student on the other end.
Sayu sighed in relief and sadness, "That's good. I'll see you then." she tried to say enthusiastically.
The blonde girl frowned slightly, "You too. Goodbye." she said and hung up the phone.
With one last glance at her clothes she decided on the red dress.
Putting the other outfit back in her closet and began to tie her hair into it's usual pigtail style.
She put on the dress and looked herself in the mirror.
This was supposed to be for their anniversary date.
Despite knowing otherwise, Misa felt that they had actually been a genuine couple sometimes.
Those feelings were usually overshadowed by the knowledge that he only kept her around because she was useful.
Regardless of that fact she loved him and was committed to him with all her heart.
She realized that she'd better call get ready to leave soon as her apartment was still quite a ways away from the Yagami house.
Misa used to enjoy the walks a lot more as they used to be her annual visits to Light.
She stepped up to the house and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by Sayu, "Good you're here. Come on in." she said stepping to the side so Misa could enter.
She closed the door, "Dinner will be ready in a minute." she told the blonde.
Misa smiled, "Alright. Thank you for inviting me over." she said genuinely.
Despite their relationship being so one-sided, Misa got along with Light's family really well and she really liked them.
She across from Sayu at the dinner table, "So how's college been Sayu?" she asked.
The younger girl gave a small smile, "It's been good ever since that whole mess with the Mafia. I didn't let that get to me. People have always told me that I'm very kindhearted, but I never realized how helpful it was until I started to experience the things that I have. I'm at the top of my class. Light would've been proud I think." she said sadly.
The model patted her arm, "Trust me when I say that he was already proud of you. One thing I knew about Light was that nothing was more important than his family." she tried to be comforting.
Light's mother entered at that moment with a sad smile and dinner, "Sorry for the delay. This took longer than I thought." she said placing the different foods on the table.
Misa waved it off, "Don't worry. I know that your cooking is worth the wait. Plus it's no rush. After all it's you that should be the sad one not me. You shouldn't even be cooking at a time like this." she told the older woman.
She laughed lightly, "Actually it helps put my mind at ease. It's good to see that you accepted the invitation. Neither of us really felt like calling yesterday so we had that young man Matsuda do it. He had mentioned heading over to tell you so we sent it over with him." she explained.
Misa nodded and looked down at her hands in her lap.
This whole situation felt strange. There was something missing. Light.
In an unknown location, a figure held in their hands an object.
It was a notebook.
A white notebook with Gold and black lettering on the cover.
The figure chuckled, "Well what do we have here?" they asked.
They looked it over, "Interesting. This could be useful in the future." it said.
It took the book and put it inside it's trench coat before walking away from the scene.
Okay so this was longer than I'd planned it to be. You guys should already know what was found at the end. It's also noticeable that other than Light's death, a lot of things are different. I did this on purpose because the way I want to do this story won't work if I did everything how the canon ending was. Also I referred to the figure as they so that the gender is hidden. I'll tell in the next chapter or two whether it's male or female. Until then it's up to you. Also I'll say that my portrayal of the characters was pretty bad as opposed to my one-shot I win. The difference was the number of characters that I was working with. One more thing, Misa is just one of the main characters, but not THE main character of this story. The others will be introduced as the story goes on. Have a great nigh everybody and I'll see you next time.
