He caught the dying figure a he gracefully fell. He fell with him. He heard the shocked gasps of the people behind him. He cradled the form in his arms. Wide eyes staring at him.

He waited.

He waited for the flood of joy and pride at killing his rival. But…

nothing.

He only felt over whelmed by sadness. Sadness at the loss of a friend, an equal, a person who understood and completed him. Also, he felt sadness at the loss of a lover. He hated to admit it, but the long nights huddled in each other's arms, whispering little secrets, or, at least, secrets to them. The soft gentle kisses he was given not moments before. The flood of sweet memories ran through him. Tears flowed over his face. Dripping onto the form that was slowly closing its eyes…"I…I'm sorry …"He said to his dying lover.

"I'm sorry…my …m …m…my" His sobs would not let him get out his words. He gently kissed his dead lovers lips. Not caring who saw. Not hearing the strangled gasp of his father not even ten feet away.

He drew back. "Goodbye, L. my only equal, my only love"

As L's eyes closed, Light could feel himself dying inside. This was the beginning of the end.

A harsh blonde looked at him. "Light Yagami, you are under arrest for the countless murders of criminals."

Light didn't move as a redhead smoking a cigarette put handcuffs on his wrists.

"Are you guys going to turn me into the Japanese police?"

"No." The blonde said, biting off a piece of chocolate. "We're giving you to Near at the SPK."

"Please wait…"

"What?" A short cold…demand, not question

"Before I killed him, in the times before then, he confided in me that…that… he wanted you to be his successor…Mihael."

Mello, raised his eyebrow, the explosion had singed the other one off.

"Well, you and Mail. He felt that you two together would do better than Near. Matt is indignant to almost anything, and balances out your emotional personality. He felt that you two would balance each other out. Also, I think that the fact that together you two caught me proves this point."

Mello smiled, at this point Matt nearly dropped Light. Amazingly the gamer reflexes came in handy.

"Light, I have heard about you from L many times. Instead of turning you in, how about you just come live with Matt and I. We need another pair of hands around the house."

Light was shocked. He'd killed their mentor, and they were being merciful. Well, Mello was. The red head, which he assumed was Matt, had him in a death grip.

"Mello-"

"Matt, Light seems to be filled with remorse for his actions. If he was still a cold-hearted killer he would not be telling us this."

Light was let go of by Matt.

"Thank you, Mello."
