Life After- A Death Note one shot
Path Walker
Light looked up into the red sky. Was this really happening? Was he really dying?
But there is so much I didn't do! So many criminals that haven't met justice! I haven't-I haven't-
He suddenly thought of his mother making dinner, and his sister watching T.V. He thought of Misa watching the same sunset, and Ryuk. Who would feed him apples now? Did he ever really love the people in his life?
Well of course I did! I sacrificed it all so they could live in a safe, happy world.
Still a selfish child.
Light tried to focus, and found himself looking into the pitiless eyes of L.
L: An innocent man. A man, if he had met in different circumstances, could have been a dear friend. A man he had killed to protect his identity as Kira- No, for his chance to play god. Light's vision was blurring, the darkness setting in.
L…I'm…
Kira woke up in a strange, dark place.
"Where-"
"You're home."
The killer sat up and found himself looking at his old friend Ryuk.
"Well, its actually the Shinigami world, but its changed a bit."
It was true. The Shinigami no longer wallowed in their own boredom. Everything was clean, and everyone was busy.
"Yeah, you inspired a lot of us. Reminded us what being a Shinigami is really about. So the powers that be thought it would be prudent to uh- add you to our ranks."
"What?"
Kira looked into a nearby pool, and saw his old self looking back at him.
"But I look the same."
"Well you weren't born a Shinigami. In fact, you're the first Shinigami hired in quite a few millennia."
"So I really am a god of death."
"Don't let the whole thing go to your head," a new voice rang. "You have restrictions now."
The two whirled to find L standing behind them: Same wild hair, same baggy clothes, same bare feet, but he looked-Healthy. The killer couldn't get over it. He was still odd, but his eyes held a certain life to them he hadn't seen before. He couldn't call L his friend, but he was the only human he had a real repor with, and he was glad to see him. L stepped forward, and Kira rushed to meet him- and received a punch in the balls.
"AGHHHH!" The shinigami fell, surprised that stilled hurt. "….Ahhhhh…."
"That, was for killing me."
"Well, technically- AHHHHH!"
L let him suffer a moment longer before yanking Kira to his feet.
"But this, is for everything else."
L's lips crushed against Kira's in a bruising kiss. The shinigami could still feel the pain in his balls, which would soon match the pain in his lips. It was odd, and brutally honest, like L.
L pulled away from the killer's dazed, confused face and smiled.
"You can't just kill anyone, not even to satisfy your sick, god complex. I'm a Throne now, so I'll be watching you."
With that, L just vanished.
"He works for the man upstairs and you work for the man downstairs. Weird."
But Kira wasn't listening. He was laughing, hard. He truly was a god of death, free to rule his new world forever-And his game with L had taken a new turn.
Oh yes, Kira's life was just beginning.
The Thrones (Gr. thronos) or Elders, also known as the Erelim, are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 1:16 (New Testament) and related to the throne of God the Father. They are living symbols of God's justice and authority. They come the closest of all Angels to spiritual perfection and emanate the light of God with mirror-like goodness. They, despite their greatness, are intensely humble, an attribute that allows them to dispense justice with perfect objectivity and without fear of pride or ambition. Because they are living symbols of God's justice and authority, they are called Thrones and have as one of their symbols the throne. These high celestial beings are mentioned again in Revelation 11:16.
