I'm not sure if M is an appropriate rating but I don't want to put it any lower just in case.
I do not own death note or make any money off of this
Wish I did
Really really wish I did :P

'I have to get away.' That was the only thought in Kira's head as he stumbled into the building. "Damn it." He murmured his curse when he realized his vision was blurring. It hurt to whisper. To breathe. He exhaled softly as he collaped onto the stairs. 'I'm going to die.' The thought that was once so alarming seemed insignificant for a moment.
He was going to die here. Raito paused his thoughts as this sunk in. Where had he gone wrong? He had only wanted to make this world a better place. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar silhouette. Kira kept his gaze firmly on the ceiling. The presence confirmed his rapidly impending death and he didn't want to think on that anymore. Where had he gone wrong?
He picked up a notebook and it gave him power to right the world. The power to become God. The criminals deserved to die. The people who opposed him deserved to die. Even... Raye. Naomi. L? He deserved it more than them for daring to catch him. For existing solely to work against him. Right? Uncertainty seeped into his thoughts. He shuddered and turned his eyes to the presence that moved in front of him. He felt a twinge of guilt. Rage washed through him. L deserved to die for opposing him. His eyes narrowed. The thought lacked conviction.
Kira had been so bored without L. All those years nobody had seen through him like L. They were too stupid. Misa was the worst of them all. At least the others put up a token resistence at being thoroughly manipulated. He suspected she enjoyed being used. Disgust swept through him. The mere thought of it disgusted him. All of them were so stupid. Even Mello and N weren't good enough. They may have beaten him, but they could never measure up to L. L... He made so many unexpected moves. Kira wasn't even sure he would win.
He hadn't faked his hysterics when L's eyes closed. At that moment it felt there were two parts of him. One side felt victorious but the other felt as though something precious had been ripped from him. L who loved cake and looked like a child was dead because he killed him. Kira continued to stare at the presence. The twinge was back. It felt almost like... regret? No. L deserved to die! His teeth ground together in fury. He felt nothing. Nothing! His eyes burned. 'Liar.' A small voice in his head spoke.
Kira's lips twitched. The other part of him was back. He had begun to think it had never existed. Or that it was who he was before he picked up the notebook. Before he regained his memories. Kira didn't put up a fight as the other part took control. They were going to die. He was going to die.
Kira's presence faded away as Raito struggled to breath. 'Finally.' Raito licked his lips and stared into the presence's eyes. The apparition had done nothing but stare at him this entire time. "Sorry." The word had clawed itself out of his throat. The gray eyes widened and it's lips twitched as a thumb rested on them.
Raito struggled to take his last breath. His body jerked then relaxed as he stared into the eyes of his enemy. "I forgive you." The faint whisper brought a smile to Raito's face and his eyes closed for the final time.

L stared at the corpse of Kira.
Kira was dead. Raito was dead. Or maybe they had been the same person all along? It didn't matter. Justice had been served.
