Dislcaimer- I do not own the lovely series known as Death Note
(A/N)- Freakily enough, I had a crazy ass dream of L writing a on purple and red paper in an all white room. So, I woke up and wrote this according to my freaky ass dream image. Hope you enjoy!
Dear Light,
I don't have much time to write this. They don't like communication from Heaven to Hell but I managed to convince them. After all, half of those in hell where sentenced by me.
In any case, there are things I never had a chance to tell you, never seized the oppurtunity to say. One of which being that...I really did enjoy your company.
You were smart and no one really understood that about you. I could relate with you on that one thing if nothing else. We were both genii in our own right and I'm 99 percent sure that if you were an orphan, Roger would have been after your brain before you could mourn.
I can't say I regret getting close to you, making you into the friend figure I never had. No one had ever challenged me in the way you- in Kira form or Light form, did.
Kira was one of the hardest cases I'd ever been on and had my brain whirling in ways I didn't even know were possible. On the other hand, Light Yagami was a conversation-starter, a tennis competetor, and a...well...a damn good friend.
It's a shame they were one in the same.
In all honesty, if I wasn't L and you weren't Kira...I really think we could have been friends. Both childish, smart, competitive, and we both had a strong sense of justice. Though yours may have been a bit extreme.
I can't help but wish things had been different for you. Perhaps if your school-work was harder or your father was around more often, you would have something to distract you from your philosophical thinking. Perhaps then, the largest serial killer man-kind has seen wouldn't have been born.
Or maybe, what you really needed was to fail. To be un-successful in something-anything at all! In all actuality that was probably what we both needed.
Because everything you have ever attempted in life had always bowed to your will, you were positive that you could wipe the world of criminals with the notebook. You were sure that no one could stop you because Light Yagami always came out on top. No matter what.
And I have always been the best. There was never one to say I couldn't solve a case or continue to excel. I took on the Kira case under the illusion that there was no possibility of defeat.
In the end we both died. Both failed in the worst and most un-reversable way.
The sad part is, I can't even say it was for a nobel cause. The real reason of the " L vs Kira" battle was really just a tragic tale of two boys who, in their minds, could not be defeated.
I do believe that my battle was a little more pressing and less deluded then yours, but then again, my opinion is biased.
They are calling me away now and they simply refuse to take no for an answer. Good luck with the fire, Light Yagami.
I am sad to say you are already missed.
