Chapter 1: Matsuda
It was all so strange, how I had come to have this power, a blurred out dream, so it seems. It had frightened me before, what one could do once they had it, but now I was chosen; now it was my duty to finish what he had started. Light Yagami had been one of the smartest men I've ever know, I admired him, I never wanted to believe the rumors being spread across the task force, not because I was against the killings, but because I wanted him to live. In the end, when it all came to it, I was the one who shot him, over and over again. I was in shock, hurt and angry, if I could take it back now, I would. Now that I know how important Light, that is, Kira would suddenly become to me. It's been about 5 months since Light had died, but I know he would want me to do this, it was the only way I could apologize for what I had done to him. I know that the same fate may come to me, but I have to finish what he started, then, and only then, will my mind be at peace. I have been working with Near, unknown to himself, my enemy. I've had to wait these past months, I don't want to draw any attention to myself in the meantime. I would use the notebook tonight; I would become the new Kira tonight. Nate Rivers - you will be eliminated, just like you should have been all those months ago.
"Matsuda, have you been listening to anything I've been saying?"
I snap out of my trance, looking over to see Aizawa frowning at me. "Huh? Oh, sorry. Aizawa. I must have spaced out."
"Yea, well, don't do it again. This is serious, but then again, when do you ever take anything seriously." He snaps at me, gritting his teeth together.
"What was it you wanted to say to me?" I inquire, slighted by him, as always. I control myself with a certain, comforting thought.
"Just remember to be here on time tomorrow, big investigation, remember?" He sighs, putting his head in his hand. "Just be there…."
"Of course! See you tomorrow, Aizawa!" I smile, as we begin to part ways.
"Yea, tomorrow…" He mumbles, walking off to his car.
Once Aizawa is out of sight, I pull out the notebook from underneath my coat. I hold it out in front of me, grasping it tightly. Tonight, I'll do it. Tonight everyone who had been in Kira's way will die… I can't help but laugh softly. "Now, Light, now. I can make it up to you. You will be able to finish what you have started…" I take out the pen from my desk, slowly writing down the name. Nate Riv-…
"Paying back a debt, are we?"
I quickly turn my chair to see a Shinigami, although I've seen one before, it was still quite shocking. "Ah! Shinigami… "
"Don't act so surprised. You should have known I was coming." His voice deep and serious, I look at him, almost speechless.
"Well, I guess I just hadn't thought about it that much…" I stutter with curiosity and bewilderment in my voice.
Author's Note:
I'm sorry that I am posting an unfinished chapter, I just wanted people to get a good feel of this fanfiction. The Shinigami will be revealed to be Light in the second chapter most likely. Feel free to comment and tell me what you think of it, any areas for improvement, etc,. Overall I hope you think my idea is one worth continuing and I hope to hear from the readers soon! Your support means a lot to me!
