'I'm so glad I got to see him one last time...' thought Light as dove back into himself to dig out Kira and bring him to hell. He went into the darkest recesses of his mind, searching for that evil spirit, the part of himself that was never meant to be. He found him, laying on the bed of the prison cell he was put in by L...The first time he was released since he was touched by the death note. He had not known what was happening, what was going on.

"You are coming with me," Light demanded as he faded into that memory, "I killed the only person I ever even cared because of you. The only one who I could have ever related to. Now you are coming with me to hell, and nothing is going to set you free again." Kira only looked at him with barely veiled amusement as he started to laugh.

"You think I'll make it easy for you? I can escape this body so easily, and be reborn again in another, less conspicuous one. I'll admit, though, you were very close to being perfect. Just a few minor flaws, but even that could have been ignored...If you hadn't fought me over killing him," he taunted, madness and glee in his eyes. Or are they Light's eyes? Light hook his head, and replied,

"Even if you took over my body I will not allow you to escape it. You forget. This is my mind, my realm, my memory. This is my very soul. In here, my words are law. If you think I'm going to let you go, you have another thing coming." Light summoned every last bit of power and will, and brought chains into existence. They wrapped around Kira, startling a cry from him. Light grasped one end of the chain wearily and looked down on Kira.

"By the way, Ryuk lied. There is only damnation for those who use the Note. And I am bringing you down with me, whatever the cost." He grabbed the chain and pulled, sending them both reeling out of his body. Light shook his head to try to clear it of the sudden fogginess. He looked up into the horizon, and saw Hell and Mu. Light saw the fires, and looked back to L. His spirit was here to watch, to see what Light would do. Light smiled at him and saluted him. And he went into the fires, Kira in tow.

L watched, unable to do anything. He had only come down to see how it would all play out, to see how Kira would die. He did not expect Kira to be another spirit to be inside Light, controlling him. He did not expect to be wrong. He watched as Light died, and left his body, forcing Kira out with him. He was unable to do anything as Light smiled and saluted him, and dove into the fires of Hell. After Light was gone, L looked at Light's body again. His face seemed so peaceful; as if had found some redemption in L's presence. He closed his eyes, and materialized in Heaven.

L returned to Heaven, and met God and His Angels in the Holy Court.

'Did Yagami Light go to Mu to become a God of Death?' asked one very bold angel-et.

"No, he did not. He chose not to, and went to Hell."

At that statement there was a time of murmurs and mutterings, but then silence as God spoke,

"He has gone to Hell to receive his punishment, child. Are you not happy?" L looked at God almost as if he was bored, and replied,

"No. I lost my first and only friend to Kira. I lost my first friend to the Death Note. My heaven is incomplete without Yagami Light. He did not and does not deserve to go to hell." There was a hushed silence after his words. L was not intimidated, though. Light was not the one who was committing the killings. Kira was. His innocence was marred by one death, but even that death was because of the Death Note. It had swayed him into killing that biker so that it would have an opening to control, for murder fractures a soul. That was why he was so innocent after he relinquished the Note. The real Light was released at that time. And it was that Light he had fallen in love with. "He is an innocent. His soul and the soul of the Death Note -Kira- were different entities. His only sin was that one person. Even then, the Note influenced him so it would have a chance for control. Can he not be given a second chance?"

"If that is what you truly wish for, child. Mother Nature was asking to give her greatest creation another chance as well, and I wished to hear your opinion on it. But to give him another chance means that I must give the other users of the Note a second chance as well. Do you wish for that as well?"

"If that means then Light will have his, then so be it."

"Very well. You will also be reincarnated, to guide Light on the right path, because he will encounter the Note again; however, you will meet at a young age and be able to influence him. You will have your memories though he will not. You will also look as you do now, with the same face. All of you will. Does that sound agreeable?"

L only bowed his head in response. He had gotten what he wanted. Now his mind was calculating on how he could stop Light's god complex from developing.

"The time is right," stated a feminine voice. A woman in flowing greens and blues entered the court, the only person wearing anything other than white. She was so beautiful; it pained L's eyes, though he showed no sign of it. If Light was flawless, she was perfection.

"I agree. What gifts would you bestow upon your children?"

"I would give them their intellect as it was in their previous life. And I would have Light be raised differently. I admit that I coddled him by sending him into a family that would spoil him, but I thought that would be best for him. For every soul I create, I create a matching soul, ensuring that the two souls would forever complement each other. Lawliet-dear, you and Light were supposed to be together for eternity," she spoke, directing her gaze at Lawliet, "Your souls met up in every life, many times able to find happiness but occasionally finding that your attraction was not unlike a curse. It was always tragedy watching two souls so compatible be ripped away from each other due to the rules of society. But since the rules of the society that humans have built have changed, you were able to find, and love each other well, no matter the gender, intellect or race. Had the Death Note not gotten in the way, the cycle would have continued, for you were in the perfect position- you being the greatest detective in the world. Light, the newest genius detective, his body and mind as close to perfection as I could possibly make without making him god-like, his extremely ambitious nature would have caught your attention in no time. It would have been a love like no other, one that only the two of you could have achieved. And that is why even God has decided to give another chance to a love so perfect, it would have outshone even my love to my children, and God's love for me."

"You were not a creation of God?" asked another angel-et, still too young to have grown her wings. Mother Nature merely smiled benevolently, and replied,

"Hardly. He and I were 'created' at the same time, because the Universe needed both a Master and a Mistress. I am the 'Mistress' who is the one who sculpts and creates the Universe. God is the 'Master', who judges the actions of the souls created, and controls the cycles of their lives."

"The reincarnation process is complete. Now you will be sent to Earth, fifty years after Kira died." Then there was a flash of light surrounding L, and he knew no more.

Reviews are awesome. I would appreciate some.

See you in the next chappie!
