Death Note
God's In His Kingdom
Part Two:
Thy Will Be Done Heaven As It Was On Earth
Ryuk hissed like a snake. His laugh creeping its way out of him before finally bursting out from him. "Nice knowing you Light," he spat with more venomous laughter.
"Ryuk? What di-"
And then he vanished. Ryuk's bellowing the last
thing on his mind.
But then re reappeared, and he was nowhere. Or
at least it seemed that way. Everything was either black or he had
lost his eyesight. He hovered his fingers in front of him, and seen
their shape slightly. "Good," he thought. "But this
world has more tricks than I thought there would be"
"Light
Yagami!, boomed a deep grinding voice from the nothingness.
"The
King I would expect?"
And the darkness shifted a little, but just enough for it to conjure a figure from it. A dark cloak, skeletal features behind it, noticed primarily from the bone-like hands of the creature. "Excellent," the voice lumbered. "Ryuk told me you were... somewhat... intelligent"
"Somewhat?" Light enquired, pride burning that he didn't bother to hide. He was God. He was supreme, only second to the only one to see through him in his mind. L.
"Well, if you were smarter you wouldn't be here would you? Trying to take my place"
He knew? How was this possible? Ryuk...No. There was no time for him to tell him.
"So you can read Shinigami minds?" It was pitiful but it was a power Light wanted. As Kira he didn't need to read minds, he understood human behaviour and could see most things coming. Here, he couldn't. It was a different world, with different life and he didn't want to spend years trying to understand these pitiful creatures. He was different from them.
"I can yes. But I'll choose not to read yours for the moment, as your mind is already filling with intentions to scheme. I brought you here to give you your notebook, and to tell you my rules."
From his cloak a hand appeared. It's joints clicked in front of Light, making him somewhat apprehensive with regards to what was going to happen next. And then it appeared out of nowhere. A black notebook of death, and a smile crossed upon Light's face. His weapon, back in his hands. But then he took it, and his smile was wiped.
It was not the weapon of God. The book was a mess. The pages were tattered, and it had been thouroughly used. The cover was intact, but it was also grubby.
"Maybe you'll be more impressed with your eyes", and a slight supressed giggle went with it. The King pointed his clicking fingers at Light, and the index finger extended and touched his forehead as Light shut his eyes.
Luckily, when Light opened his eyes the world was the same to him. "Don't worry, your eyes are fine and you do now have the eyes that you wanted. That you used effectively of two others."
Light was about to turn, when he realised there was no way out. He was trapped.
"Nono, now my rules boy. The rules are crucial"
"I thought you said you weren't going to read my mind?"
"I lied," and then came not laughter like before, but a huge echoing groan in this darkened world. It was as if the King was rising of his own will and the world was somehow shaking in the process. And then the voice boomed again, "You will not kill any others. You killed one of us and that was enough. You are one us, but you worse. And when that day comes that you are to die I will make sure it is a slow, painful death filled with agony. Then I might have some... closure upon my daughter's death."
"Daughter?" thought Light, his all too familar panic arising. His face almost turning a bright white within the spreading darkness, only one thing coming to his mind: "Rem"
