On A Rooftop
'Today…', Light thought. 'Today is the day L dies…' The Kira side of him laughed maniacally, 'I win! I will become God of the New World!', but Light felt a ache in his chest. He realized that he had become close to L after forfeiting ownership of the Death Note, and he even feel in love with him. Light knew that it was against everything Kira stood for, but he didn't care. Light knew he had to find a way to save L…from himself…
Meanwhile on the rainy rooftop stood L looking up at the crying sky. 'Why?', L thought. 'Why is Light Kira?' He closes his eyes and his mind continues to wander, 'He is my first friend and….the one I love. I don't want to believe he's Kira, but…all the evidence points to him…Oh how my mind and heart aches.' He clenches his fists, 'I will save you Light Yagami! Even if it is from yourself!'
Light goes in search of L. His feet had taken him to the rooftop. He goes outside and through the sheet of rain is…L. L feels someone's presence and looks over to the side to see Light looking back at him. Light asks him, "What are you doing standing out there by yourself?" L doesn't hear him and puts a hand to his ear. Light repeats a little louder, "What are you doing standing out there by yourself!" L hears him, but he wants Light by his side in his last moments even though he knows this beautiful Japanese teenager is going to be the death of him. He places his hand up to his ear once more smiling and Light realizes he has to go over to L, so he walks out into the rain trying to shield his face from the pelting drops. Light reaches L and asks, "What are you doing Ryuzaki?" L looks down, "Oh! I'm not doing anything in particular it's just…I hear the bell." Light looks at L in confusion, "The bell?" L's eyes saddened and he looks towards the sky again, "Yes. The sound of the bell has been unusually loud today." Light tries to hear the sound, but hears nothing. Just silence, "I don't hear anything." L looks at him, "Really? You can't hear it? Its been ringing non-stop all day. I find it very distracting. Maybe it's a church or a wedding or perhaps a-" Light cuts him off not wanting to hear the rest, "What are you getting at Ryuzaki? Cut it out! Let's get back inside!" L looks at Light sadly then back towards the ground, "I'm sorry…Nothing I say makes any sense anyway. If I were you, I wouldn't believe any of it." Light looks at him sadly and puts his hand on L's shoulder. L shivers at the contact and looks at Light, "Light?" Tears begin to fall from Light's eyes, "L…" He has to tell L. He must save L from himself. Light sighs and finally confesses, "I am Kira!"
