The bell is especially loud today. It's quite distracting as I sit on the roof trying to think. The roof of the Kira Investigation Headquarters in case you were wondering. I have a pretty good idea why I can hear a bell and no one else seems to notice it. I am reaching the end of my time. I bet I will meet my end because of Kira.
The sun is just starting to rise. It makes too much light for me to see the stars. Its rival, the moon, goes down. The sun rules over all. It keeps us humans alive. But if you think about it, the same thing that sustains life can also take it away if you get too close. Trust the sun, stray too far away from the safety zone, and you burn to death.
Thinking about the sun and its light makes me think of my only friend. I find it hard to focus over the deep ringing in my head, but I manage to recall memories of my times with him. Light Yagami. I used to think he's Kira, but he was in confinement for more than thirteen days. If he had ever used the Death Note he would have died in that cell. I find myself smiling, a rare display of emotion, at the thought of Light being innocent. He's my friend. Not some psychopathic murderer. I go inside after a while when I see dark storm clouds coming. I think I'll come back out later to enjoy the rain.
...
He's Kira. He really is. If he hadn't been the killer all along he wouldn't be smiling like that. Light, why? I hate being in his arms. I'd rather die back out there in the rain than here in Light's, no, Kira's arms. My chest hurts. I can feel my heart stopping.
While I lay here I am suddenly reminded of the sunrise. Kira is like the sun, ruling over all, keeping innocent people alive and killing criminals. The humans on Earth are like the people Kira spares. The stars, drowned out by the light of the sun, are like the victims of the Death Note. I am the moon, going down, either kneeling before the sun or falling from a chair. I remember kneeling before Kira earlier as if he was a god after coming in from the rain. Light, you did it. You managed to beat L. I hope you're proud of yourself.
Just this morning the word "light" while watching the sun made me think of friendship. Now, in just a day, I've changed. I think of betrayal, broken hearts and broken friendships, murder.
I can no longer keep my eyes open. And to be honest, I don't want to. Because when they're open all I can concentrate my gaze on is Kira's smiling face. It taunted me as if saying "You've lost. I've won. What are you going to about it?" Yes, Kira is the sun and I am the moon. But the fluffy white clouds passing over the sun are representations of Near's white hair. They're Near beating Kira. I wonder if Mello will help. Watari, I'll join you soon. Finally, my eyes close for the final time. I die.
Lupus: Hey guys! Thanks for reading this even though my writing skills aren't the best! Honestly I don't believe L ever saw Light as a friend. But I wrote a fanfic about it anyway. :)
