Ghosts of Kira

Resurrection

A desolate staircase. The pavement below a skyscraper. An old warehouse. A burning building. These are the death sites of four gods; the death sites of Kira. However, not all deaths mean the end.

W-where am I…Agh! What happened to my body!? Thought a frantic ghost as he sat up on an old rusted staircase outside a building.

"Kira-sama…Light Yagami?" whispered a young girl, in complete awe and reverence to her beloved god.

"Yeah…that's me" the ghost confirmed. Standing up, Light remembered what had happened to him If I died then…I-I'm a ghost! Light thought.

"Kira-sama. I am your humble servant: Ryuu Karata. I-I have been saving this for you…until I could bring you, Mikami-sama, Misa-sama and Kiyomi-chan back." The girl explained, bowing to Light and handing him a black notebook.

"The death note!" Light said, taking the notebook in his hands. Numerous memories of his life flooded back to him, all but a few. "Their names! I cant remember their first names, Matsuda, Ide, Aizowa, Gevanni, Near…Near! I can't remember his real name!" Light almost shouted, but managed to keep it to a low roar.

"Kira-sama, my greatest apologies, but being a ghost, some of your memories have been lost. Mikami-sama, Misa-sama and Kiyomi-chan will end up much the same." Ryuu explained, bowing again. Light sighed. "Kira-sama, you must continue punishing criminals, this world has hit a devastating crime rate much worse than it was before your reign." Ryuu insisted. Light looked at the Death Note.

"Ryuu, you said something about Misa, Mikami and Takada. Are they ghosts too?" Light inquired.

"Not yet, however they shall be resurrected much as you were soon." Ryuu explained.

"So, back from the dead are you Light?" a low raspy voice asked from behind the conversing pair. Light turned around.

"Ryuk!" Light exclaimed, though not as happily as one would think. "If it weren't for you I'd be here flesh and blood, not as a ghost." he accused.

"Hahaha, you don't know just how lucky you are to be a ghost do you Light?" Ryuk asked. "Being a ghost, you have better odds of winning this time around." He continued.

"Oh, and why is that?" Light questioned.

"Being a ghost means you've died already. The only ways to kill a ghost possessing ownership of a Death Note are: Being killed by a Shinigami, being killed by another ghost in possession of a Death Note or being killed by the Death Note of the Shinigami king if the Shinigami King himself or a human is using it." Ryuk explained. Light nodded in comprehension.

"Good to know, since you've already killed me once before, you owed me that much." He said, rolling his eyes.

"Uh…Kira-sama. Please follow me. We only have a short time until the moon sets." Ryuu interjected, motioning for Light to follow. As they walked, Light recognized the path they were on, it was the exact route that he took, running away from Near, before Ryuk killed him.

"Hey Ryuk. Being a ghost, are people able to see me?" Light questioned.

"Only people who have touched a Death Note at some point in their life can see you, and everybody but Shinigami and other ghosts simply walk right through you." Ryuk answered. Light nodded.

As Ryuu led them into a large warehouse, Light automatically recognized it. There was blood spattered on the floor, and an abandoned mask sitting on the floor. Light and Ryuk stopped, Ryuu walked up to a large blood stained area of the floor and put her hands together as if to pray. Looking up at a moonlight hole in the ceiling, she began to speak in a low tone.

"Underneath the moonlit sky this night. Conquer the death of our god Kira. As a ghost again shall he reign. To punish the wicked and reward the good. Oh Divine lord Kira; Teru Mikami, rise up to your throne. Reign again for all eternity in mind and spirit!" Ryuu chanted throwing her hands up in the air as she finished. Then, on the stain of blood lay the ghost of Teru Mikami. He sat up and looked around, his expression grew amazed when his gaze rested on Light.

"God!" Mikami shouted, abruptly standing up and taking a step in Light's direction. He looked purely amazed.

"It's been a long time…Mikami" Light greeted in his mysterious "Kira voice"

"God! You died then as well?…and you've been given new life?" Mikami exclaimed. Light gave a slight nod.

"Mikami-sama…here." Ryuu said, handing Mikami a Death Note. As with Light, memories rushed back into his mind like torpedoes.

"I-I remember! But…I can't remember their names! God! I can't recall their names, the people that…suspended the reign of Kira." Mikami confessed.

"Neither can I. They're among the memories that didn't come back to us when we were resurrected as ghosts, the first names of the NPA and SPK and Near's real name." Light explained. "Mikami, look at Ryuu, can you still see her name?" Light asked. Mikami turned to face Ryuu.

"Yes, Ryuu Karata, I can see her name above her head. Not her life-span because she's touched a Death Note." Mikami confirmed.

"Good" Light answered.

"Excuse me, Kira-sama, we must continue on before we loose the light of the full moon." Ryuu told them, motioning yet again for them to follow her out of the warehouse. Mikami tucked the notebook into the pocket of his black jacket and followed Light and Ryuu and Ryuk flew close behind.

After walking a ways, the group came to the street-side in front of Misa and Light's old apartment.

"Ryuu. What are we stopping here for?" Light asked inquisitively.

"Misa-sama" Ryuu replied.

"She still lives here, alone?" Light questioned.

"No, Misa-sama could not take the pain of your death. She committed suicide a year after you died by throwing herself off of this building. Making her death spot the cement on which we stand." Ryuu explained. Light looked somewhat shocked. Ryuu then walked a step or two foreword and began the same ritual that she did to bring Mikami and Light back. Within a minute the ghost of a petite, blonde girl in a black gothic dress appeared. The ghost stood, and when she rested her eyes on the "people" around her, she looked surprised, and upon seeing Light her face lit up with a smile of pure ecstasy.

"L-Light!" she squealed happily. Overjoyed that her love was alive…well, in a sense. Light gave a small smile and Misa ran into his arms, embracing him tightly.

"Misa…" Light breathed as he kissed the top of her head. They let go of eachother and then Misa nearly exploded with questions.

"Light…how are we here? Are we alive? Do you have your notebook? Why are we here? What happened?" she asked, all in one breath.

"Well, Ryuu here, one of Kira's worshipers, saw how much this world was deteriorating without Kira passing righteous judgement on the wicked, and came up with a way to resurrect Kira, to reign again over this world. Though we're not alive, exactly, we're brought back as ghosts." Light explained. He took the notebook from his pocket and held it out to Misa. "Touch it" Light instructed. Misa put her hand on the notebook and regained her memories, just as Light and Mikami did. "You wont be able to remember a lot of first names, don't worry, it's the case with Mikami and I too." He continued.

"I can't see Ryuu's name anymore…" Misa confessed, looking disappointed, though, seeing Ryuk, she had an idea. "Ryuk! You can do the eye deal again with me cant you? I need the Shinigami eyes to be useful to Light!" Misa pleaded grabbing onto Light's arm.

"Sorry, no can do. You're a ghost, ghosts have no set life spans so the eye deal is impossible." Ryuk informed.

"Whaaat!? That's not fair! I need the eyes so I can be useful to Light and he'll love meee!" Misa argued, holding on to Light's arm even tighter. Ryuk shrugged, as if to tell her it's too bad. Misa now had a pretend pout on her face, until Light spoke to her.

"Misa, you'll be useful either way, don't worry." He reassured her.

Misa smiled and heaved a sigh if relief.

"Here, you'll need this." Light said as he tore out roughly 10 pages of his notebook and handed them to Misa. Misa folded them up and put them in her handbag and nodded her thanks to Light.

"Kira-sama, we must hurry. We still have yet to resurrect Kiyomi-chan, and my time and the time of the moon is almost up." Ryuu persisted.

This time the group took the subway, Misa grumbling the whole time. "Why can't we just leave Takada?! She's no use to Kira anyway!" Misa complained to Light.

"Miss Amane, we need as much help as we can get to make this world right again. As God said, this world is rotten. It needs to be fixed." Mikami interjected as the train came to a stop. The group got out and realized they still had to walk a few blocks before they came to the building Takada burned under the control of the Death Note. Inside the crumbled building the truck was still there with the doors hanging off the hinges and singed areas were all around the interior of the truck.

Stepping inside the truck, Ryuu began the same prayer service she had for the others, however, when Kiyomi's ghost appeared on the floor clad in only a pale pink blanket Ryuu turned around and waved good bye saying something faintly.

"Fix the world…Kira-sama…you're the only one who can…" Then her body went limp and dropped to the floor. Misa and Takada looked absolutely stunned…she had given her life to bring back her gods, a true martyr for Kira. Without a word, Ryuk and the four Kiras left the truck and shut the doors behind them.

"L-Light…Mikami…Misa." Kiyomi said, saying Misa's name in a somewhat unpleasant tone. Misa glared ad her and stuck her tongue out, grabbing once again onto Light's arm.

"Miss Takada." Mikami began and proceeded to telling her about why and how they were all here.

When Mikami finished his explanation Takada fully understood and Mikami gave her pages from his Death Note and at that time, she was also able to see Ryuk.

"Light, What happened to Miss Ryuu?" Misa questioned. Light simply shrugged.

"She gave her life to bring Kira to power again. And she knew my ideals perfectly, this world need's to be fixed. To make a perfect utopia free of crime with Kira as god!" Light declared.

"Now just leaves the question of where to operate from." Mikami reminded.

"I know just the place." Light said, motioning for the others to follow. They were headed for a very familiar HQ.
