"Light-kun."
No answer.
"Light-kun."
Again, nothing.
"Kira!" Light felt a very cold fist crushing with his cheek.
"Ow!"
"Finally. I was told you wouldn't go to underworld and then come back, I was beginning to worry that I came to the human world for nothing, or rather too early." A huge what popped up in Light's mind.
"R-Ryuzaki?" Light sat up wide eyed, and slightly moved back a bit, his back touching the wall.
"The one and only." L's voice had a mocking tone, rather insulting.
"You died." Light's voice was soft, yet a bit intense.
"And you didn't?"
Light thought about it.
And L was right.
He remembered a sharp pain at his chest.
He remembered Near's expressionless face.
Matsuda shooting him.
Dying on the stairs.
And right before dying, right before his eyes closed-
L.
Of course, L, Light thought. Who else?
"This can't be happening. I was supposed to go to nothingness. Nothingness is certainly not this place, and of course seeing you." Light emphasized you in a clearly offensive way but L showed no reaction at first.
"Don't even try to make it seem as if you were an exception because of your godly powers, Light Yagami." L's voice was like freezing air blowing right into already cold Light's face.
It hurt.
Light shivered a bit, as he was called Kira, for the second time, and knew he didn't have to deny it.
"Because you're powerless, and you can't do anything! Because I won, L!" Light voiced the last part of his thoughts.
"I wouldn't call it a victory. A victory would be winning against all of your enemies. But in fact, you didn't even beat me. Near succeeded me. And Mello, in a way. And even if we say you beat me, as you yelled that you did at my grave..." Light gritted his teeth at the thought L was watching him the whole time after he died. "You never really won. If you had won, you wouldn't be here. At least, not in such a young age, kille, technically, because you lost against me and my successors."
Light jumped furiously, realizing he was at the building the investigation took place before L's death.
At the bedroom he had to share with him, while he had lost his memories.
"Never compare your successors to me. That albino, that cheater who dared to go against a god, Near. And that loser, Mello, you must be very proud that your successor ended up seeking help from the Mafia and even killed." A small 'ha' escaped L's mouth.
"He even what? He killed? Correct me if I'm mistaken, but Kira is the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind. I strongly disagree with Mello's methods, but none of us has the right to judge him, I believe. And my thoughts are that Near did go against you, but also partially succeeded, although he wanted to simply lock you up, instead of ending up with your blood on his hands." Light glared at L.
"And may I ask, why are we here again? Why am I not in nothingness?"
"Because nothingness, to the Shinigamis, means neither heaven nor hell. And that's what Ryuk told you and he didn't lie to you, but this is the real nothingness, Light-kun. Nothingness means your soul going to waste. And all of the human souls go to waste after death. It's just that you caused a few problems, rather major ones, and that is the reason I am here as well."
"What kind of problems, and to who?"
"I hope that this is a rhetorical question, but judging from your expression it's not." To Light's surprise, L's eye colour turned into a red.
The red of blood.
"Did you think, for real, that after abusing the Note, apart from the Shinigami rules which didn't mention such a thing, that you created no problems? Besides taking away nearly two million lives, you also sent them to underworld by force."
"Underworld?" L mentioned it before as well. Underworld?
"Yes, Light Yagami, underworld. The place all souls go after death."
"And did you go there as well? Not that I care, I just wanted to see where your superior soul ended up."
"This has nothing to do with the huge problem you have created, but yes I did go to underworld. And as a piece of information that will be useful for me to tell and you to know later, is that underworld has the part that alive humans call hell, and the part they call heaven."
"Was heaven nice, my angel?" Light's voice was venomous.
What caused him to go from a devious smirk to complete poker face, was L's red eyes almost stabbing him right at the heart.
"Why are you looking at me like that, huh?"
"I am not an angel, Light-kun." L stood up from the bed and with inhuman speed rushed in front of Light's eyes, their noses almost touching.
He put on a smile, which wasn't alike to L at all, it seemed rather disgusting to Light.
"I am coming straight from hell." Light winced as he felt Ryuzaki's extremely hot breath on his chin. It even scared Light.
His voice did, that icy tone.
And those bloody eyes.
And that breath, like fire.
"How is that possible? Weren't you the good guy?"
"That doesn't have to do with anything. The reason I went to hell is something I will keep a secret." A small silence followed, as they both stayed still right in front of each other.
"And what problems did I create, exactly?" Light interrupted the silence.
"Forcing so many souls to go to underworld changed the way universe works. You killed an astronomic number of humans. And some of them refused to accept they died. Which means that they never really entered underworld, and stay there peacefully or non-peacefully for eternity. So, they came back here. And trust me, they are not very friendly. At least with you, they are not at all."
"And?"
"They all seek your soul. They want to rip it apart, Light-kun, they want to see it being vanished from both human world and underworld. They want to send it to the utter nothingness." Light felt afraid for the first time in a while.
"And you? Are you one of them? One of those souls."
"No, Light-kun. If you were ever allowed to go to underworld, you'd go straight to hell. Believe me. And, since the majority of people who killed went to hell, it was decided that your guardian 'angel' should be, well to express it as simple as possible, although it will sound ridiculous, a demon. Don't imagine I will boil you or anything, hell and demons are not like that, they aren't even the way humans imagine them. So, no I am not one of them, even though I'd certainly wish to see your soul ending up at the lower level a soul can end up."
"I don't really care. My work as Kira is finished, isn't it? I don't give a damn, my guardian demon."
"It's not really up to you to give a damn or not."
"Yes, it is. After my perfect world probably going back to the foul world it used to be before Kira, I don't give a single fuck about being ripped apart." L's fist crashed with the wall, the thud sounding incredibly loud.
"I don't give a fuck either." L hissed. And he hissed for real. "But I am here because the universe wanted me to be. And you are here because the universe wanted you too. So, shut the fuck up and stop complaining."
Light noticed two fangs, barely visible, as well his tongue being black.
And looking alike to a snake's one, exactly a snake tongue.
"What do I have to do?"
"You will have to figure it out on your own, Light-kun. I am here to provide you some guidance and possibly some protection, as far as I can go."
"Protection?"
"Yes. Do you think I am the only monster here? I told you, your human life will always haunt you." Light simple looked at L.
"And why would you protect me?"
"I am not as low as you are."
"Did you just insult me?" Light's voice had a hint of arrogance. L simply walked up to Light and before Light could catch up, he felt a sharp pain at his cheek. He touched it lightly.
There was blood.
Black blood.
And for a second he could swear, as far as he could catch up with L's newfound speed, that L had claws instead of fingers.
"You are not Kira anymore, and I am not L anymore. You are Light Yagami and I am L Lawliet. We are not even alive. Deal with this, as fast as you can, because we don't have all the time in the world, and time is very important. Souls don't wait."
Well it's just an idea for a fanfic with many chapters that I had. It's Supernatural/Romance. Review to tell me if you like it and if I should continue it or not.
