Winchester, England

The sky was overcast and rumbling when he threw the last clod of dirt onto the pile.

It's going to rain soon. He thought wearily, stomping down the small hill of dirt he made, rendering the contents below invisible to the world. Of course it's going to rain. It's England.

Looking up at the sky, he spotted the distant silhouette of the mansion called Wammy's House in the sky. The weariness faded from his eyes, replaced with a strange glint, a sardonic smirk creeping across his face.

L. Who knew that you'd continue to bother me, even after your death? Light turned from the view of the mansion, back to his task. It took me a while to find this place, but perhaps it will prove useful in the future. His hands moved swiftly, arranging small stones over the bald patch of earth, forming a gothic letter in the earth.

These successors of yours may not live up to your standard, but I've come too far to take any chances. His hands smoothed over the finished letter, musing. You've made your inheritance, but now, it will be mine. Everything that was once yours will be mine. His hands curl into a claw over his finished piece. Suddenly, taking a penknife from his pocket, Light plunges its tip into the bark of the tree over looking the patch of earth, Tracing out another letter.

It will work. It has to work. Light repeated in his head. If all goes well, I don't need it to work. But I've run over what Ryuk's told me of the rules a thousand times. The wording should allow for this. This is my last resort.

Rising from the ground, Light stood silently for a moment. Turning on his heel, he walks slowly away from the copse of trees lining the edge of the mansions grounds, laughing to himself, a maniacal gleam in his eye.

Even if I die, even if you have come back from the dead to drag me down with you, L, I will be God.

I will find your two successors and drag them through the pits of hell because I am Justice.

I am the God of the New World.

I am Kira.

And this is my inheritance.

Tokyo, Japan

A woman's shriek pierces the room. Her hands gripping clamp-like on man besides her with almost bone breaking force. She pushes one last time before falling back, sweaty and exhausted on the hospital bed. A new shriek pierces the room, a baby's wail. The doctor scoops up the child gently, proclaiming, "It's a boy!" handing the small bundle over to the exhausted mother. The baby falls strangely silent mid-wail at his mothers face, staring. The mother, curious, gently rocks the child, cooing. The child remains unusually calm, his mother's face reflected in his glassy eyes.
