Leaving
I couldn't believe it. I had believed in his innocence but the truth in the form of those two words were staring me in the face.

I collapsed to the floor.
"Light, why?" I asked quietly. He ignored me; just like everyone else had done at HQ. I felt my eyes pricking with tears and I blocked out all other voices. Images flashed in my mind; the investigation: L, Misa-Misa, Chief Yagami, Sayu and Watari. They were some of my happiest memories when we all co-operated. Laughing quietly with Misa-Misa and L when Light was asleep. I had thought of Light as a friend; even a brother at one point but that all changed when I saw my name hastily scrawled by Mikami. It may sound weird but I would've felt better if it was actually Light who had written my name down; not his assistant. It made me feel cheap and worthless; unimportant. I heard voices through my thoughts and instinctively pulled out my weapon to shoot at Light. He yelled out in agony and clutched his hand. He yelled at me to shoot Near, The Task Force and the SPK Members; I hated myself for even thinking of doing it; killing my comrades. Everything started to spill from my mouth and my eyes as well. Tears splashed on the floor as he gave me a rant of how The Chief was made a fool of. I yelled back, not knowing what I was saying. He turned away and everyone yelled again. I fired off more shots and he collapsed to the floor. I stood over him with tears still cascading down my cheeks. All my anger was concentrated on this man- no, Demon- before me. I squeezed the trigger gently as if by doing this he would have a gentle death. I was suddenly pulled back by my team, away from the killer, away from insanity. They grabbed my gun from me and I collapsed onto the floor, unable to take anymore. I broke into silent sobs, unable to watch as the person whom I had trusted for eight years die at the hand of the Shinigami, Ryuk, and not, as I now realised it should have been, Soichiro Yagami.
