Death Note: The Final Name
Description: The year is 2030, and Light has confirmed his achievement of a New World. With the world no longer needing Kira, what will Light do?
A/N: This story is based on the anime, and is the version I think would have happened if Light hadn't received the Death Note for another four years... He was old enough to be less naive about his methods, while being young enough to still use the Death Note for a greater purpose than himself. This is my first ever fic, so please take it easy lol... No flames please... Review :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.
CHAPTER ONE: REMEMBRANCE.
I've finally achieved it… the Perfect World I've been working towards for years is here… I'll have to thank Ryuk someday…
Light Yagami, now 40 years old, smiled as he thought back to the day he picked up the Death Note and began to change the world.
.
When Light woke up on January 18th 2010, he had no clue that this day would change his life. As he prepared to leave for work, he thought about how much everything had changed in only four years. His father, Soichiro Yagami, had retired a year after Light started working for the NPA, and he had since then become the Chief of the Homicide Department, as he was the most competent member of the task force once his father left.
Not long afterwards, a thief had broken in to their house when Sayu and Sachiko were out shopping. Light had already moved out, so Soichiro was the only member of the family still inside the house; the thief had doubtless thought he wasn't at home, and so entered in an attempt to steal from what he thought was an 'easy target'.
Upon finding an angry Soichiro, the thief panicked and shot at him, with the bullet hitting him right between the eyes. The funeral service had been held during the next week, which happened to also be the day after Light had hunted down and captured the criminal who had killed his father.
I promise father, all the criminals in the world will regret your death…
Today was the anniversary of both his father's death and Light's oath to his father. Every year on this day, Light takes the longer path to work rather than the short one. This allows him to remember his father before getting to work, as well as have a higher chance for some criminal to attempt to mug or kill him so he can justly return the favor with no damage to his conscience. Today however, nobody committed any crimes while Light traveled to work. All this did was make him slightly more upset, disgusted by the criminals of the world. They couldn't even be relied on to do what they did best, after all.
Light entered the NPA Headquarters, where he was greeted by Matsuda, the employee his father trained in before Light's entrance.
"Morning Light, how was your weekend?"
"Fine Matsuda…"
Light pushed past him and went to the computer he kept at HQ to check for more cases to work on. The last case wasn't even slightly interesting, simply one in which the serial killer in question hadn't even properly covered his tracks, and was most likely in it for the thrill of killing. It had only taken Light a few hours to figure out who it was and have him arrested with full evidence against him, including having found two of the murder weapons.
Still nothing challenging… I almost wish there were more killers, just so I might not be so bored… However, that wouldn't really help the public much… and I'd be right back at this point once I caught them…
The day passed, mostly uneventful (except for Matsuda tripping and spilling his coffee on Aizawa's head, which couldn't have been good for that afro). As Light entered his front lawn and was about to open the door, something hit Light on top of the head.
"What the hell…?" Light bent and picked up the object in question. A Death Note, huh…? "The human whose name is written in this note, shall die…"
END CHAPTER ONE, REMEMBRANCE.
A/N: The point of Soichiro's death when he didn't die that early in the anime… I was going for, without realizing it Light saved his father's life by becoming Kira… In here, since Ryuk didn't drop the Death Note until 2010, criminals weren't afraid of anything but the police, so the crime rate didn't diminish out of fear.
