The Tale That Never Was

MEMORIES

TO RECOVER

I was led into the massive room known as Where Nothing Gathers, and I saw thirteen insanely high throwns, many of which were filled with humans like the one that led me here, all whom were dressed in black coats. The man next to me told me to stand on the middle platform so everyone could get a good look at me. I was nervous and couldn't remember a lot of what had taken place, all I could remember was that I had been running and that'd I'd clutched my chest, and then the blackness took me. As I stepped onto the platform everyone began to remove their hoods. "Do you know what you are?" a voice said from the top of the room. I looked towards the sounds and saw a tanned man with gray-silver hair, he was sitting in a thrown higher than anyone else's.

"Is this a trick question?" I asked. Several in the room chuckled softly. "No" came a deep reply. "You are now one of us." he said. "And what exactly are you?" I replied. "You will find out soon enough." he said. Needless to say this answer didn't satisfy me in the least. "We must now give you a new name." he said. "What?" I said more demanding then questioning. "You are a Nobody." he said very dramatically. "As true as that is, It's not nice to say that about someone." No one said anything for a moment. "What is you're name?" someone in the room finally spoke up. "Light." Everyone pondered for a moment. "I will preform the naming ceremony tomorrow. "Why do I need a new name, and who are you people?" The man next to me told me he'd explain on the way to my quarters. "Who are you?" I asked him as we went down the insanely white hall. "And who are you people." "Well, see I'm not just any old dude, I'm with the Organization, and hopefully you'll be with us soon."

"Why would I want to join you people?"

"Well you want to get your heart back don't you?"

Silence...

"What?!"

"A Nobody is someone who had a strong heart

and will, and had their heart taken away from them."

"And I'm a Nobody?"

"Yeah"

"You're insane!"

"As if..."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Well, search your feelings."

I didn't quite understand what he wanted me to do, but I tried. And tried.

"I can't feel anything."

"Exactly!"

"You might want to clarify."

"Nobodies can't feel emotions. Or so I'm told."

He led me to my chamber and told me to "hang tight" and get some rest and they would call me into the chamber again in the morning. I thought it over, and the more I thought the more it seemed to make sense, but why couldn't I remember what happened to me. And I started to think about what had happened. It started to flood in. 'The task force, they betrayed me! Near, he made them think I was Kira!' I felt angry and tried to sleep it off.

The next morning the man named Xigbar came knocked at my door and led me into the camber once again. "Good Morning, number XIV." the man at the top said. I replied courteously. "We understand that like myself, you Light, dawned a new name before you became a nobody." he said. "What are you talking about?" I replied. "We understand the people of your world called you, 'Kira'." as he said those words it felt like I had been hit in the gut. "What are talking about?! I am not Kira!" I panicked, I wanted to leave, it seemed that no matter where I was people were still accusing me of being Kira! "Perhaps if you summon your weapon, you will understand number XIV." I had no idea what he was talking about. I even looked at him funny before he finally understood. "Hold your hand out and concentrate."

I did.

And I knew my former self probably would have wished I hadn't.

A black book appeared in my hand.

And it all flooded back.

I began to laugh. And laugh. They all stared at me, but I didn't care, and quickly realized my dreams would soon become reality. 'The SBK, Near, and all my former teammates, will die!'

"Number XIV...Number XIV!!" I suddenly heard. It was him again, that man up at the top of the room. "What do you want?" I said, realizing he knew nothing of the Death Note. "What just happened to you?" he said with a rare interest. So I told him. "I just remembered, everything."

then I added. "Yes, I'm Kira." all of them looked me over. "Well it is time for the naming ceremony." "Are you still going on about that, I will forever be Kira, simple as that." I said, rather arrogantly. "It is no matter to us, this is a qualification for being a member of Organization XIII." he said dramatically. "Fine, but I won't use it." I said. "Very Well." Letter's began to circle around me, and formed Xirak.
