Going back to a new world

Chapter 1 Words can't hurt me anymore

Light was curious about the black-haired man. Right after he died his soul was whisked up to the land of shinigami where he experienced all of the deaths he had written. Since they rarely varied, there weren't too many horrors. Although he did get sick of the heart attacks from time to time, writing notes before his death and the like. Although the many deaths were over it was still agonizingly painful to watch the world he had tried to create fall too pieces right before his eyes. As for Misa, oh his dear Misa, how he longed to see her face once more. He knew they were in the same world but the shinigami world was so large! No matter where he looked he couldn't find her! Light had seen how wrong he was by saying she was stupid and using her. Now she probably knows what he was originally doing and will refuse to look at him! He wanted to show her that he did fall in love with her after all without knowing it! He thought of himself as an idiot who would take advantage of these young women like Misa and Takada, make them think he loved them, and to simply use them for his own benefit. He felt he was abusing them, in a way. No. that was for the good of the world, but that dream had been ripped to shreds because of him. He hadn't tried hard enough.

His head started spinning again. It occasionally happened when he got mixed up in his own thoughts and went mad. He screamed in mental pain. The man light had seen dragged him to the shinigami king, whose back seemed to always be facing everybody whilst on his throne. Light somehow managed to hear the name "Ryuk" before the man started dragging him away again. Light's dizziness had gone down by now and he could make out short sentences that other shingami were saying. He winced as a sharp, jagged bone almost sliced through the skin of his back. He heard the man mutter something along the lines of "Useless, no-good, pathetic coward!" If it wasn't for his lack of confidence after eight long years in this land of death, Light would have harshly reacted to that comment. But he just couldn't be bothered anymore. What was the point? Words couldn't hurt him. Not anymore.

He was thrown at the wall of a cave harshly before the shinigami Ryuk.

"Careful, he is valuable material…" Ryuk chuckled.

"I don't care!" The man screamed. "All I have been able to do since I was killed eleven years ago by Kira was to wander around with this bloody book becoming more and more like a Shinigami by the minute!" Now that Light could see straight he looked at the man closely, indeed he was holding a Death note in his pale, white hands and for a human he was very shinigami-like. His eyes were a furious red and he did have wings. There were two thin almost arms of feathers which were a softer, darker red than the flames in his eyes. They also had a black feathers hanging down from the red arms so it had looked like he once had huge wings but the feathers had somehow been ripped or burnt off. He was wearing a slightly loose red long sleeved top that matched his wings and black pants which also matched his wings. He had several blood stains on his hands which looked slightly old. Somehow light thought he looked familiar… Was it because he looked like L? Maybe, but he doubted it.

"So who is this freak anyway?" He snorted and folded his arms. Freak? Just who did he think he was?

"You have a tendency for rushing things beyond." Ryuk croaked. Light guessed he had started to loose his voice from laughing for eight long years.

"You can't even call me Rue for old time's sake." He muttered. Rue? Light had heard that name before… But where?

"Fine then, Rue. I'd like you to meet and old friend of mine, Light. The man who was once known as Kira."

"K-Kira?" Rue shivered.

"Light. I hear that you were the one who killed Rue Ryuzaki. Also known as beyond birthday?" Light gasped his eyes could focus now, he saw that he was faced with none other than L's brother Rue Ryuzaki. He glared back teeth grinding whilst his breathing sped up his face flushed redish-pink and before he knew it, Beyond birthday started attacking Light Yagami, his killer.
