Taking You With Me

A short little drabble

Warning: character death

Auther's Note: I thought L deserved a do over with his death

disclaimer: I do not own Death Note, for if I did, L would have hacked Light to death with a dull kitchen knife. (beautiful image, isn't it?)


"Well then.." L said between chews. He picked up the knife to cut into the new cake "I suppose we'll just have to…" Everyone went silent as L began to tremble, dropping the knife. Convulsing, he collapsed to the floor. He knew it was all over for him. Kira had found his true identity. This was it, but Kira, had not won. kira would still be fought. He looked up at his best friend. Light was holding his trembling body in his arms, crying out, crying out for him to live. L reached up and placed his shaking hand on his first and only friend's cheek. He had finally come to terms that even if Light was Kira, he was still the only one who ever showed him friendship. L's eyelids began to feel heavy. As his eyes began to flutter shut, he took one last look up at his best friend. "Goodbye, my friend." L mouthed. But he noticed something strange about Light. A smirk had appeared on his face. "Kira." With his final breath, he picked up the discarded knife "I will die here…."he swung with precision, slicing open Lights neck "but your coming with me, Kira-kun…" and with that, L's body became still. A thin crimson line appeared on his neck, and Light too, became still, falling next to L. And so, with L's final breath, the world's two greatest minds died. Lying, in a pool of violet tears.
