Disclaimiation: Heh, no. Didn't do it.

As you lie here, in my arms, in an agony I have inflicted on so many other less worthy individuals, I realize something.
Deluded you were, but nevertheless, L, you were an admirable adversary. It was almost…fun, playing our game of cat and mouse (have you finally realized that you were the mouse?).
You shouldn't be lumped with the criminals I have removed in this manner. Your only crime was that you stood in my way. A god's way.
You poor misguided fool.
Something should be done. I can't let you leave in this way. It isn't fair to you. And after all, I am Justice.
And so, my gift to you, is letting you know. You were right.
I smile manically at you, knowing that even though your heart is literally bursting that you will recognize what I'm showing you…what I'm giving you. You can still comprehend that much.
I can see it in your eyes. They widen even further, the realization flashing in them. You know. You've always known.
You shudder. Don't worry, the pain only lasts so long.
Your eyes slowly close…almost peacefully. I'm thankful for that. You should be grateful, you know. None of my other…"victims" has been allowed to die knowing who killed them.
I do hope the age-old gravestone adage applies to you. Unlike the other criminals I have eliminated, I do wish for you to rest in peace.
The others rush forward, fear and horror radiating from them. No one witnessed my gift to you.
My face changes, to mirror their grief-stricken expressions.
My grief is not entirely faked. There is a feeling of sorrow, mixed with the triumph I am feeling. I may have won, but I know I have lost something too.
I will miss you. My advisory, my counterpart.
My…friend.

Death Note is so morally skewed…I love it.
This was written all in one sitting (which is rare for me), and while my nail polish dried, lol. Thus, typing this was rather difficult, but I wanted to get it down while it was still fresh in my mind.
Review please. :)
