Alternate Reality
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Light Yagami . "What is it Light-kun? ''I asked. Light Yagami and myself were seated in a helicopter, and right outside Higuchi who was Kira was being arrested. "Nothing Ryuzaki. It was the sudden appearance of the shinigami that startled me." He answered. "Oh I see..anyway -'' I was forced to stop mid-sentence when suddenly a flash of blinding light struck the helicopter. After that everything was dark.
"L...dinner's ready. Come out of your room already!'' It was this sentence that woke me up. Startled I raised my head and surveyed my surroundings. I was in a bedroom which contained a study table and chair, a wall cupboard, another stand alone wooden cupboard, a bookshelf filled with schoolbooks. I was lying down on a bed; a book (which on further inspection turned out to be a physics text book) was lying beside me. Where was I? My helicopter does not look like this! Where was Light? He was sitting right beside me..until that blinding light came. Wait was it because of this light that I was transported here? This called for more investigation. I leapt out of bed and opened the door and headed in the direction of the voice which was calling me for dinner.
Soon enough I found myself standing in a dining area and face to face with a woman, who seemed to be angry at me. She looked like she was in her late forties; she had dark black hair which stopped at her shoulders. "Who are you?'' I asked her. "Really L, you don't even recognize your own mother? Now sit down and eat.'' Surprisingly I complied, maybe because I was actually feeling hungry or because I was too shocked to do anything else. The food was good, but sadly it was not sweet. My 'mother' was looking at me quite worriedly. "What is it? What's wrong, you looked kind of spaced out." She asked. "Nothing's wrong it was just that I dozed off and had the weirdest dream."I answered. After that dinner was quiet until I realized that only I was eating. "Hey um…Mom? Why aren't you eating?" I asked. "You know I wait for your father to come and only then eat. L why are you acting so lost? This isn't like you." "Um I told you that nightmare had really shaken me.'' With that I left the table on the pretense of studying.
I then decided to explore my 'home'. It was an apartment of medium size, three bedrooms. But what struck me most was that it looked exactly like the one I had before my parents died. Even the pictures of my family were all the same as before. In fact it looked like this was what would have happened if my parent's hadn't died and I had never gone to Wammy's House with Watari.
"There is a sixty-six percent chance that this is all a dream." With that thought in mind I fell asleep, content for the first time in years.
Sadly this was not a dream because I was woken up by the ringing of my alarm clock. I had school apparently. School, not a place I would want to go to, before I went to Wammy's House I really had a bad time in school. My fellow classmates thought I was weird and ridiculed me. Light was the first person who didn't which is why I called my 'my first friend.'
My Father dropped me to school, and just like how it used to be the car was filled with a comfortable silence save for the soft hum of music in the background. When I reached school, boy, was there a surprise waiting for me.
Thankfully I was recognized by one of my classmates, weird thing was he looked a lot like Near. In fact when I asked "Near?" he answered "Yeah, L , why do you look so freaked out?" he even sounded exactly like him. This was not the only look alike I found my whole class was filled with familiar faces; all of them were from Wammy's House. The day passed by uneventfully until English, our last period. I sit in the second last row, next to me was near and in front of us was Matt and next to him Mello. When suddenly out of the blue a book fell from the sky. I rushed out as soon as class was over to look for the book which fell and to my surprise no one had noticed it as yet. I picked it up, it was roughly the size of any exercise book, completely black in colour, and when I turned it around two words in white greeted me: DEATH NOTE.
What is this? This is the same book Higuchi used, this is Kira's killing tool, so what was it doing here? Without a word I took it home with me. Maybe this was connected to why I was here. I headed straight for my room and locked the door. The book contained detailed written instructions on how to use it. "So this was how Kira killed his victims. If the task force was here they would never let me use it. This is the perfect opportunity to test it." I said to myself. I turned on the news; apparently some escaped convict had taken a bunch of school children hostage. I take a good look at his face and write his name in the Death Note. Forty seconds later it is announced that the man died of a heart attack and the children were freed.
"So the book works." I say to myself. Suddenly my eyelids grow heavy and sleep overcomes me. By the time I wake up I realize an hour has passed since I fell asleep. "I seem to be sleeping a lot since I got here." I say to myself. "That is because your body has still not got over the side effects which come with travelling through dimensions." says a voice. I turn around to find myself face to face with a shinigami. "My name is Ryuk. The previous owner of this Death Note, pleased to make your acquaintance L or should I say Kira." "First of all how do you know my name? Second why did you call me Kira?"I ask. "I was transported here along with you. That is how I know your name. As for the answer to your second question, why don't you take a look at that the Death Note." he answers. I open the book and find that under the name of the criminal I killed, all the names of the people Kira killed before I decided to investigate was also written. It was then that I realized that this was an alternate reality. So if I was Kira then L is …
The news is still going on in the front room. I rush down to see what was going on. My mother was already watching the news when she noticed me. "Oh L listen to this." She increases the volume of the television and the next thing I see horrifies me. Lind L. Taylor's dead body was being shown and a synthetic voice exactly like the one I always use to disguise my voice was saying "Come on Kira kill me if you can."
What is going on?
