It was over. After six years, it was over. Near finally confirmed that Light Yagami was indeed Kira, and the war between Near and he, between L and he, was finally over. Unfortunately, he was on the losing end.

"That's right…I am Kira."

He stared at the window-like opening of the roof, letting himself bask in the warmth of the afternoon sun. He knew this was the end, he had already known that. He took the risk of dying for the sake of a new world. Why can't Near, Matsuda, Aizawa, Ide and Lsee the good he was doing? He only wanted what was good for the world.

"Soon; I will be justice…"

Justice. How can he be justice now? He was lying on some staircase, bleeding. That was not how a God of the New World should die. But he was far from a God now; he was far, far away from that. He was now just some college kid, dying for a worthy cause.

Was this really worth it? Light thought. Was this worth dying for?

It used to be…A voice at the back of his head told him.

He used to be some high school kid, no worries outside his studies. He had the looks, the brains, everything! He was perfect, aside from his occasional white lies, before the Death Note became his one and only flaw.

"The hope of all mankind…"

Hope. There was no hope for him now. He was going to die and there was nothing anyone could do. For six years he had made the world a better place, but still it rots. Now he knew a world cannot be changed by only one person or by three. A world will change if the people are willing to. He stared again at the window-like opening, but he noticed a change. He saw someone standing in front of him, a certain raven-haired detective.

I must be delusional already, Light thought as he stared some more at the figure. He can't be here. He died.

The figure hardly wavered from his staring, but instead, sent a message from his eyes to the now dying man.

"No matter how strong you are, you alone cannot change the world."*The raven-haired detective said in an uncharacteristically soft whisper.

With that new knowledge, Light began to succumb into the never ending sleep that was death, but just before he completely blew the fire that was his life, he bid a final goodbye.

L…I'm sorry. I…Goodbye, L.

And just before his eyes closed, set to never open again, he saw the raven smile softly and nod as if hearing his apology, that was the last thing he saw before his world finally turned black.

How was it? The credit goes to my beta!! I really love her!! Lawl. ^^

*Yeah, that was a line from L: Change the World (I don't own it either) modified a bit^^, L told that to Near when he only had 1 day left. I cried much there. Heh. ^^

I'm just sad now…L, Light, Matt and Mello died. That's so sad. -sigh-
