Death is just aN iLLusioN
AN: I do not own Death Note, this story is purely fictional, it would be too creepy if it were real dont you think?
Chapter 1: Newton's Law
To meet the grim reaper would solely mean…
Death- A state of not being, the eternal halt in the beat of the heart, to close down the process of breathing. To return whence we came before we ever got to be. The end of our story… in this case, the whole charade that life itself brings starts with the crossing over of the master of the one who overcame death, Near. No doubt, N as he was known of, was at the edge of meeting the reaper but thanks to his mentor, he cheated his way through it.
For in reality, then end clearly meant the beginning.
"Light Yagami, you ARE KIRA"
Near's voice still echoes inside the heads of those people first exposed by the truth, Matsuda, Mogi…the SPK.
Since, after the death of Watari, L, Mr. Yagami, Matt and Mello, the police have concluded that the evidence gathered was credible and closed the case at once. Peace was restored in the Kantou district of Japan, even Amane Misa's life was restored, though ironically, she lost about a portion of it and was left to believe that Light Yagami was killed in an accident. From then on, they never saw the same happy-go-lucky girl that was once the Second Kira. Near returned to Wammy's place and refused an offer from the police for him to officially be the successor to L. His only response…
"I'll come back when L wants me to. When there is activity in the realm of the Shinigami, then call my name, not Nate Rivers but simply N. i need to get myself together" he said so bluntly, effortlessly piecing the puzzle together. "Besides i'm a little busy."
It wasn't really known what N felt after the events, he showed no sign of angst, instead retreated to his own fascination of toys to cover up his real burden.
Matuda of course opposed N's decision directly, "Busy? What are you talking about? If you join then..."
"Don't get me wrong." Near was holding up the last piece of the puzzle, he turned his head sideways and showed Matsuda the last piece, "If I cant solve the puzzle than i will merely be a loser."
Little does N know, that even after death, life goes on. For in the depths of those who used the death note;
As stated in the Notebook. "A human who uses the note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell."
So where could the likes of Kira gone? No one really knows…
What started as a joke for a Shinigami named Ryuk, who wanted to 'kill' boredom, was again thirsty for human ignorance.
A hollow cave, swallowed up in darkness, gray and black were its sole color decorations, a place where light could never shine, opened up new holes and covens for the arrival of the 'others'.
"Where am I?" the weak voice of a man, newly 'reborn' to this odd world, cam upon. Giving his new home a glance, peering unto the holes, which only let in a fraction of fictitious light, slowly, his aching and trembling body was starting to get clear in his sight. Thin, bony fingers were trembling, his right hand had traces of impact and shards of steel embedded in it…
He gasped, "Am I… alive?"
He was clothed in the same attire he was dressed in as he died, yes, he is undoubtedly dead, the same ripped and bloody whit polo and brown corduroy pants and red tie all messed up, yet he felt as if, he was barely there. He traced his body's outline with his skeletal fingers, slowly touching his face, still fresh with blood dripping on it and what shocked him the most was his ability to put through a finger inside the three holes that pierced his body from the gun shots he endured while he was still on the land of the living.
"You have got to be kidding me…" he whispered in disbelief bearing on his face such a disgusted and crazed smile, "Hahaha, impossible… I'm sure I died of…"
He unbuttoned his shirt and placed his right hand on his massacred chest, though he was surely breathing and conscious, he bore no heartbeat.
He etched a mischievous grin, "I'm undead? HAHAHAHA!" he said in a horrific tone, "But how? This is utterly illogical…but this must be proof that I, KIRA am the GOD of the new world! And this… this place… is where I am meant…" Though shaky, this man, proclaimed Kira, managed to stand up in the black and white façade he presided in, out strtching his arms, he yelled out a roar, "I am a god of Death!"
His dark thoughts clouded his sane mind with him not mindful of the fact that he was Neither in Heaven nor Hell, a raspy and eerie voice disturbed his celebration.
"OOPS!" the invisible voice shrieked.
"Huh? Is that?" the man was alarmed, and slowly the monochrome design of his 'home' was filled with a glint of a crimson colored object that fell slowly into his bony hand.
"Apple?"
"It's been a long time, Light-kun"
The sound of wings tingled the man's ears, and it just a while, the being who dropped the apple came into face with Light. The same popping eyes, infectious laugh, grim and monster-like features that befell his sight, painted Light's face with amazement.
"RYUK!"
The death god cackled, "I thought you'd never wake up! It's about time."
"Wake up? You mean all this time, I was sleeping?"
Ryuk scratched his ridiculously deformed head, "Well, you could say that, after I wrote your name on my note, you ended up in your temporary slumber."
Kira sighed, "That's right, YOU killed me." he looked down. "Temporary sleep? I thought after you die, you'd…"
"Wait a sec, I thought after reminding you that I killed you you'd get all mad but instead you ask questions." He laughed again, "Humans are so interesting! Did you forget that once you use the note, you can neither go to Heaven or Hell? That's why you've been placed here, to wallow for eternity, not sleep."
"Where is here exactly?"
Ryuza pointed to the apple that Kira was still holding. "Give me back my apple then I'll tell you."
He threw the apple towards the shinigami, "Tell me."
In one piece, Ryuk devoured the apple entirely, "You are in Limbo." Light's eyes widened.
The death god licked his fingers, "Human apples sure are juicy!" Ryuk turned to the expectant Light, "That's why you're wrong about being a death god, the realm is a long ways from here."
Kira stood stiff and just turned his eyes on Ryuk, "And?"
Ryuk the shinigami revealed his wings once more and position for his flight.
"Wait!" He held out his hand.
"And that's it fallen Light Yagami-kun or should I say KIRA."
The shinigami started to elevate.
"Fallen??" He yelled out in question.
The shinigami flew towards the black mist, already invisible to Kira's sight, "Yes, fallen, a reaper in the making, like the others… HEHEHEHEHEHE!" the eerie voice faded.
Kira fell to his knees in a sort of looned out manner with his twitching smile, "Reaper eh? And there are others… HAHAHAHA! L, you haven't won just yet. I will become the God of the new world, even if it means I have to rule in the after life. too bad, you didn't know that a master of the Death Note, sees death as another door to reign upon the living. Your silly protégée N, will fall into bits, just like YOU…" Kira's voice hissed and echoed inside his 'room' in the Netherworld.
Another war was about to emerge, or so, that is what the 'fallen' Kira desires.
"There is no rule in the Note that a former user of the Note cannot become a God of death himself nor does a rule that states, we cannot be resurrected but it doesn't mean that there shouldn't be, Near, I have not lost, not just yet."
"Light-kun, what comes around goes around..." His mothers' thoughts echoed inside his mind, not wanting to stay still, he walked outside the cave he was temporarily caged in. A valley of distraught, he is neither in Hell nor Heaven, very much far from the Realm of the Death Gods and clearly not in Purgatory and of course the land of the living.
Black mists covered the scenery, everything was crooked, gray, deafeningly silent and the false wind blew nothing but sand in his hair, he was standing at edge, looking at the portal that connected him and the other 'reapers' which were still out of sight from earth, with his arms stretched, he roared out a laugh, "What goes up, well barely up in my case...must... That's right there's no such thing as MY karma, only FATE even if i have to die once to achieve it."
