a/n : this is Light's POV.

.

I watched him as he collapsed. His wide eyes, the disbelieving look in his eyes, the slightly parted lips, and his body slowly falling off the chair he usually sat in.

I believed the tears were visible on his eyes before he snapped them shut so they wouldn't fall. I caught him, of course, so that he wouldn't crash ont the hard floor. I knew he already suffered a lot from the cardiac arrest.

As soon as Ryuzaki fell, the investigation team went into a state of panic and I caused them more panic by bombarding them with my ramblings. I clutched Ryuzaki's body tightly for the last time.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer. It's over now," I whispered to him secretly before I released my embrace.

Several years later…

Matsuda shot my left hand and I yelped in pain. They were trying to prevent me from writing Near's name on the piece of paper and I must admit that they did quite a good job at that.

It hurt, of course. In fact, it hurt so much. And while the other kept shooting at me with the gun, I was writhing in pain on the floor. But it was all worth it.

Matsuda looked at me with a pleading gaze, as if asking to confess—to surrender and let them arrest me. But no, this was too perfect. I saw one of the agents whispering something to near and he shook his head slowly. His eyes bore into mine knowingly, and for a second I thought he already knew it.

As long as you die and I win, I care for nothing. I could almost hear Near's thoughts—his eyes told them all. Well, I cared for nothing too.

At least, the final blow came. I plead with Ryuk to write Near's name in the Death Note and kill him, but he just sneered at me and said the words I've expected him to say. He wanted to kill me because of my foolishness.

If only he knew…

Near sighed quietly, very quiet in fact, that nobody heard him. So he knew then, that smart little kid.

Ryuk started writing my name on the Death Note, and I mentally counted to 40, to the last second I'd live. While I was counting, I saw a shadow looming behind Ryuk.

Ryuzaki.

No. Lawliett. I knew your name at last. I could see deep sadness reflecting off your face, sadness for seeing you in pain, he mouthed. He then smiled very softly, and I felt the urge to smile back, but the time had come for me. I felt a sharp pain tugging at my chest, and my heartbeat slowed steadily.

I didn't want to close my eyes. I wanted to see the cruel world for one last time.

At last… just as planned, I'll be with your forever… Lawliett…

Fin…

a/n : phew…what do you think about this fic? Was it good? Was it a mess? Heehee…again, thank you for my beta Asagi Tsuki-san!! Without her help, this fic will be a bunch of grammar mistakes…

Err, in case you all didn't catch what this fic's mean…Light always planned something perfectly, right? So, he planned this as well in my fic. He planned Ryuzaki's death, and everybody's reaction, and his death too. And finally he join Ryuzaki to the world of death…

Review please! And thank you for reading )
