A/N: What happens after Light dies? Where does the story go. It can't truly just end . . . can it?
CHAPTER 1
REBORN
The Kira task force and the SPK are situated across each other in an abandoned warehouse. Light Yagami just ran outside, extremely wounded.
Matsuda tries to go after him but is stopped by the voice of Near (a.k.a Nate River)
"Let him go, chances are, with those wounds he would not get very far . . ."
Yes. He wouldn't get far. A few hundred metres, at the least. Near thought to himself.
A Few minutes later, Light lays on a set of stairs, as he forces out the last few words. "Misa, where are you? I'm sorry . . . Dad . . ." Light takes his last breath and his eyes close slowly. Misa slowly walks closer to the edge of a bridge, spreading her arms, almost as if they were wings, and she jumps, freefalling to her death. Her last thoughts, A world without Light . . . is a dark world, a place I could never live.
Back in the warehouse, Near slowly stands up. "As I mentioned at least 9 times before, Light is Kira. There was never a doubt in my mind."
"WOW, Near!" Matsuda replies excitedly. "That was amazing! It's too bad L wasn't here to see it. . ."
Near's eyes open wider as he speaks. "Matsuda! That is not appropiate, have some respect for the dead."
Then they hear a voice coming from the door. "I agree with him, Matsui"
They all look at the door in awe, even near
Matsuda speaks. "But . . . You . . . You're de-"
Matsuda is interrupted by the stranger before he can finish. "Dead? No." The stranger replies.
This man. Near thinks to himself. He looks, talks and acts like the true L. Could it be? Is he still . . . alive?"
"I know what you all might be thinking right about now." The man replies. "And yes. I am the true L. The L that was killed was a fake. No, more like a stand-in. The person you've been working with all along was not the real me. Sorry I had to deceive you like that, but unfortunately, it was the only way to ensure my safety in the kira case."
"Ryuzaki! You we-"
Once again Matsuda is interrupted by the stranger. "Shh! Don't get mad at me please. I had to do it, I bet some of you are also wondering how the fake L was able to solve the cases so easily before . . . well you know. Well, the thing is, Watari and I had groomed him into me. We tought him everything about me, how to behave, how to think. We literally made a second Ryuzaki."
Then Near started speaking. "How low of you, L. I thought you were much better than this."
"Why, Whatever do you mean, Near? Ryuzaki asked
"I'm referring to the fact that you sent a stand-in to do you're job! And not only that, you also faked you're own death and remained hidden until Kira was gone for good!"
"Yeah!" Matsuda replied. "From the start we trusted you! And you deceived us this entire time! You're nothing more than a childish moron!"
"OK," Ryuzaki replied "I will admit it was very irresponsible and low of me to do that. I will also admit that I was being childish, but . . ."
There is a silence around the warehouse, which by now has been cleared out, the only ones that remain are Matsuda, Ryuzaki, Near and Near's bodygaurd, Rester.
Ryuzaki continues ". . . but, Matsuda. There is never an excuse for you to call me a moron! Especially considering the way you act al the time."
Matsuda rips out his gun and points it at Ryuzaki. "You have deceived and disgraced us! Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you here and now!"
Near tries to stop Matsuda and yells "No! Matsuda! That would be completely stupid. Why don't you put the gun away so all of us can talk calmly. There's always a good reason for L's behaviour, no matter how absurd."
Matsuda slowly puts his gun away. "Yeah, Near. I guess you're right. So, L, Ryuzaki, whatever your name is. Care to explain?"
"I thought I already did . . ." Ryuzaki replies, retreating to his thoughts. How will I get out of this? I need a really good explanation."
