AN: First Death Note fanfic so feel free to criticise. I'm grateful for any reviews and anyone who decides to read this. Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. If I did Kira wouldn't have killed Beyond Birthday. He'd be dating him (BB x Light forever!)
"Light Yagami"
Light Yagami woke with a start, raising himself up off his sprawled position the floor on his palms. Sitting upright, peering into the surrounding darkness, the young genius searched for the slightest clue which would explain to him where he was and who exactly had been calling his name. Upon realising he could find nothing to help him, Light took a moment to reminisce the familiarity of the situation; desperately staring into the darkness reminded him of searching into his very much determined yet very much deceased opponent's eyes.
L.
Where exactly was the world's greatest detective now? Light faintly remembered Ryuk mentioning that those who had used the Death Note were rendered unable to enter neither heaven nor hell once they had passed. Knowing Ryuuzaki, knowing the extravangantly unique detective L with his determination for justice, the biggest opponent of Kira and his new world probably resided in the comfort of Heaven. Unless, just as Light did, Ryuuzaki harboured a secret life of his own. What if the world's greatest detective was the world's greatest criminal too? Perhaps L was a skilled jewel thief, or perhaps he held the title of the world's greatest conman too? That would explain his close connections with Aiber and Wedy. Or, maybe the world's greatest detective was a deranged serial killer with a craving for blood. Light softly chuckled at the thought of Ryuuzaki as a man with a double life, laughing and drinking with the criminals he mercilessly pursued as a detective.
Suddenly the voice echoed out of the darkness again.
"Light Yagami"
The voice was unmistakably feminine and somewhat recognisable. Yet the identity of the owner of the voice slipped Light's mind, much to his annoyance. It was overly sweet, sickly and it oozed sticky, honey-like falseness. Then, out of nowhere, a single drop of an anonymous liquid landed on Light's cheek. Curiously, Light dabbed a finger in the substance and delicately licked it off his fingertip. The liquid was sticky, sweet and tasted undeniably of strawberries. The lonely abyss Light was trapped in rained strawberry jam? Light had decided to finally ask some questions.
Feebly he croaked "Where am I?" to be answered by nothing but the sound of his own breathing echoing back at him. Shyly coughing to clear his throat, Light drew a deep breathe and bellowed into the darkness: "Where am I?"
The demand echoed several times before the silence eerily invaded once more. Then the blinding light hit Kira* squarely in the eyes. Weakly lifting a hand to shield his eyes, Light was stunned to hear the booming voice of the nuisance Demegawa announce: "Welcome to Kira's kingdom!"
Light began to groan, but stifled it quickly as panic set in; wasn't Demegawa dead?
AN: Second chapter coming soon... *sometimes Light blinds himself XD
