This is for people who didn't like the orginal ending for death note. Feel free to slander my work if you wish. (beware, this is an LxLight fanfiction, so some kissing may occure.
Prologue.
Third person
Light sat in his room, watching T.V., hoping for any new criminals for him to punish.
-Ryuk
-What NOW?
-Is there anything you know about the death note that I don't at this moment?
Ryuk, the death god, or shinigami, chuckled.
-There is one deal that I haven't mentioned yet.
-What is it?
Light was desperate to gain some sort of edge on the detective L.
-It will only work if you still have the three death notes.
Light felt his stomach clench ever so slightly. He had Misa's death note, for she had given it to him, and Rem's death note, for he had taken it from her when she died.
(hold it together)
-Yes, go on.
-What you do is you take your death notes to a place remembered by your death note and destroy the useless one. When it's destroyed, you give me the pieces left over and I will give you the time from the lives that you took away.
This was a good deal. Light wanted nothing more but to be the god of a new world where everyone is kind and good and he is god, but he knew Ryuk too well.
-what do I have to sacrifice?
Ryuk began to laugh.
-Only a small thing.
-what is that small thing, Ryuk?
-your humanity.
Light's eyes widened.
-So I'll become...
-A shinigami, yes. But don't worry. The same rules will apply to you that apply to all shinigami. You will have the eyes and ability to absorb the life of others. No one will notice unless they touch your death note, so only you and me will be able to see the changes you go through.
