Death Note/The World Ends With You Crossover Fic
- - -
Not Heaven, But Not Hell Either
A/N: This little spot here, is for the disclaimer. I DO NOT own Death Note or The World Ends With You. If I owned Death Note, I would've given Matt more time in the series. T^T
Summary//Light's POV.
I remember making an attempt to escape fate. Fate of being captured. Fate of going to neither heaven nor hell. Fate that was unavoidable...
I was desperately trying to escape all that, but I made it to the stairs, and suffered a heart attack. Feeling a sharp pain in my chest, I collapsed on the very stairs where L and I had escaped the thunder and rain.
I was currently falling through blackness... Hm... Maybe this is probably what Ryuk meant by going to the MU.
Then I faded...
(A/N: I curse the summary character limit. The summary you see up there is the complete summary.)
Light's POV.
"Ughh..." I groaned while slowly opening my eyes to... brightness. Slowly I got up to my feet and brushed myself off.
There were people all around me, and it was all very busy. I was definitely still in Japan, that's for sure. Flashing signs were written in kanji, promoting things I had no need for.
I looked North and saw a big mall. "104? Hm... I think I must be in Shibuya. Am I maybe not dead? Did fate give me a second chance?"
I heard some giggling behind me.
"Teehee. Oh Light, how you're whole game amuses me. You are infact dead."
I turned around, and saw a kid who strangely resembled Near... My eyes narrowed at the sight. "Who are you? And how do you know my name?"
"Well, my name is Yoshiya Kiryu, but please, call me Joshua. I happen to run a certain game which you will learn more about later." He flicked his hair. He even plays with his hair, like Near. "And I know you're name, because you are the famous 'Kira'."
"What is this place? People are walking through us." I was quite interested in this place. Maybe a fake environment for Death Note users.
He turned so his back was facing me. "I suppose I must teach you, or else you'd be erased quicker than a tin-pin match vs me. This Shibuya is a second plane, I guess. It exists on top of the first Shibuya. The first Shibuya, from the living, is called the real ground, while we reside in the under ground. Anyways, you must find partners, and complete missions, or you face erasure. Erasure is like death here, but you don't go to yet another... world, or perhaps another plane."
"So... What happens after completing missions?" I was curious about this, and the rewards, obviously. Why do something with no reward?
"Well, for most people you get a second chance at life, if you succeed. I believe you are familiar with 'shinigami'? Well, we sort of have our own version of that. We use reapers, they make the game more challenging for players. Obviously, it's not going to be a free life giveaway. There are also game masters, who are pretty much like bosses. I won't go into too much detail."
A second chance at life? Maybe I could complete the missions, beat the game, and recreate the world again... "So I just have to find a partner and complete missions?" I questioned. I must learn the best way to win.
Joshua turned around. "You have to form a pact with you're partner, and then you receive missions via text message on you're phone. The reason you need to form a pact, is so you can fight the noise. The noise are sort of like little monsters that work for the game masters and reapers. They would be considered the pawn in a chess game. To fight them you need pins." He tossed a strange little package at me. "It's a starter pin set. Make sure you put the black one on right now, or other players won't know you're a player."
I clipped the black pin on. It had an intricate design painted on it, a bit monochromatic for my taste, but it'll be fine. "Well I guess I'm off to find a partner. Thanks for you're help." In a blink of an eye, Joshua disappeared. Interesting...
"Light? Is that you?"
Oh... crap. That couldn't possible be...
A/N: First chapter of my first fanfic. I think it's okay. I'll work on making chapters longer, but I just wanted to put something up. Cliffhanger, although it might be a bit obvious. In the next few chapters, I'll probably introduce more characters... It'll probably be slow though, since I'm such a lazy ass.
