A/N/: Here goes my first fic. I hope it is up to your standards. This story takes place shortly after Light regains his memories.
I own nothing related to Death Note.
L believed he had finally won. He went on a hunch and confronted Light of being Kira in front of the whole investigation team and went through the motions of arresting him to see his reaction. He got exactly what he wanted: Light reacted.
"Alright fine. I AM KIRA!" Yelled Light as his face broke into a maniacal grin at their shocked faces."However, I have one last trick up my sleeve. You wouldn't hesitate to execute Kira, but can you really kill someone with an innocent mind?" Light then turned his face to his left side and said, "Ryuk, I forfeit my ownership of the Death Note, again." No-one else could see Ryuk's confused face. He thought Light would have a better way out than this.
"If you say so..." Ryuk clicked his fingers, and Light's head dropped down, his eyes half closed as the memories of Kira left him.
"Quickly! Get his notebook!" Ordered L, and Soichiro ran up and tore it from his son's fingers. He immediately looked and saw Ryuuku standing next to Light. This was all he could take. He blacked out from the shock of his son being the one that they were hunting all along.
L had resolved that since Light no longer remembered anything about being Kira, he should not be held accountable for the deaths. After all, it was finished and there would never be a Kira again. Light was sent home to resume his life as normal and was only told that Kira had been disposed of, and that the force was thankful for his help. Misa was also made to give up her memories, and her note was returned to Rem after the team promised that she would not be harmed in any way. Content that she would be safe, Rem returned to the Shinigami world to do whatever it is they do up there.
Meanwhile, said force was dealing with the shock that Kira had been in their midst all this time.
"I can't believe it..." Aizawa.
"Light, how could he have been so calm around us?" Matsuda.
"My son... a murderer." As the elder Yagami rocked in a fetal position in the corner.
"At least it's over. Arguably one of the hardest cases I've ever had to crack." L.
"Hyuk, I don't know about you guys, but I had a blast!" Ryuk.
Everyone stared daggers into Ryuuk for a full minute until Soichiro burst out. "You monster! You corrupted my son into becoming a murderer! You sick twisted thing! I hope you never find rest in whatever kind of afterlife you Shinigami exist in! I hope to any merciful god there is that you never EVER manage to create another Kira again!"
Ryuuku backed away, scared that the human would attack him like this. L fixed him with a glare and said, "Shinigami, why on earth did you start all of this anyway?"
"Well," Began Ryuuk, "I was bored of playing cards and gambling, so I decided to go on a vacation down here!" At this, L's jaw dropped. All this conflict had been because this crazy god of death was bored?!
Ryuk was amused by the faces on the people who were accusing him of everything, and he laughed his dry cackle that had never failed to unnerve the strongest of humans. "Yes, all because I was bored. I enjoyed watching Light's transformation as he used the note more and more. He would make a fine Shinigami."
"I will never let that happen!" Yelled Soichiro, being restrained by Aizawa and Matsuda to prevent him from physically attacking the death god. An altogether inadvisable action.
"Well then, since you're so bored, you can stay here." Said L. The rest of the team dropped their jaws and stared. "What do you mean stay here! He'll just give the note to someone else!"
"Impossible." Said L. "The note will remain in a secure location here so that Ryuk cannot create another Kira."
"Heh heh, looks like I get to stick around. I will require at least ten apples a day. Fresh as possible, deliv-"
"You will eat what we GIVE you, monster!" Belted out Soichiro from the corner that he was tied up in."
Ryuuku sighed and walked out of the room, being led to wherever he would stay by Watari, who kept arms length from the creature.
"Well, the investigation is finished. I will report to the nations that Kira is no more and that they can prosecute criminals normally again." L was very proud of himself. He had proven that no criminal could best him, no matter how good.
The task force eventually agreed with L that it would be best to forget and forgive, since Kira the murderer was gone, even though the person who embodied him was alive. Even though the investigation was over, Aizawa, Matsuda and Soichiro stayed with L for a bit to wrap things up. Unknown to the task force however, was the fact that something as big as Kira could never truly disappear from the face of the earth.
