Hi everyone, this is an intro to an attempt at another Death Note Story. This has a bit different scenario than what I am used to, more like a going back in time to retell a more insane Light's thoughts and feelings at different intervals of time. I may or may not continue this, but I wanted to test it out, so here's the intro! XD
Die Today, Intro
The ground seemed to hate me today, as I stumbled over my own feet treading across it. Why wouldn't it? Everything hated me. Today was when my turmoil finally showed through, when my world came crashing down around me. A trip, a day long trip was never enough for me to take my thoughts off of my impending doom. Everywhere I looked I was surrounded by this menacing darkness, and it hated me. Everything hated me.
Mostly, I hated myself, and the way that I chose to live. I hated the way that I had found the Death Note. I hated the way that L would smile at me and call me his first friend. What the hell was his problem anyway? As if Kira and L could ever be friends. I stop, staring down at the loathsome ground, wondering if there was another way to get across this terrain. I could crawl? I could crawl on my knees like a dog and beg for forgiveness form God, the person I could never be.
Any second now they would discover my note, the one I left behind seventy miles back. They will discover my deeds, my sins that I have held onto for so long. Maybe then I can bare this burden a bit more…Maybe then, I'll be able to have my self righteous suicide. Knowing that there are others after me, knowing that in my right state of mind I will be justified as I fall in line. It makes me laugh now, the thought of dying or getting left behind here in a place like this. I know L wouldn't be laughing, no L would be furiously kicking me for feeling this depth of self pity.
But the thing was…I simply didn't care.
I knew that my reign would never last, that eventually I would have to be caught. Kira hates me for that, he hates what I believe in, but I say screw him. What good was he ever to me? All he did was ruin me, ruin everything I had once lived to protect. No, he did save me from something. He saved me from my boredom. Something that now I was regretting not saving myself from. I was bored, tracking endlessly across this rough deserted land. I had nothing to do, no one to talk to. Well, no one except him.
You're so pathetic, Light. I know, I've always known. A ring comes from somewhere, this darkness inching on me, forcing me to move faster, my feet beginning to bleed. You don't even know where you are going, and yet you continue to move? Yes, for where else do I have to go, but back. And no, I'm never going back. I bet right now you're wondering how I got here? How I've fallen to the depths and came back up only to be trampled on. Well, I would never re-live it, not even in my own mind.
Kira can tell you what happened. Ask him, he knows my story better than I know myself. Possibly, you'll learn something from this, something that I never would have known otherwise. So, for now, forgive me when I tell you this:
My name is Light Yagami, I'm a hardworking honor student, and I am seventeen years old. When I turned twenty-five, I wanted to die, for I was no longer Light. No, at that time, I was Kira.
Well, there you go, I hope you enjoyed it. I know it sucks, but for some reason I just thought of it randomly...^_^
