AN: Well a quick thanks to anyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed. This chapter is just basically Raito's POV on DN. its much longer than L's POV but if I didn't do that, they would pretty much be the same.

Disclaimer: Come on, I don't even own tha volumes of the freaking show. But if I did own Death Note, it may have ended differently... On with the story now!

I wanted to create a new world. I was a god. I was a savior. I knew the world needed a change. That was how I once saw it all.

Did you really doubt my motives that much? Did you know you could have stopped me? Were you really that confident? We knew each other for a short amount of time. But in that amount of time, I made a friend. But you were L and I was Kira. I wanted our friendship to be real at some point. But I had to make a better world and you were in the way. So it wasn't possible for us.

I remember meeting you at To-Oh University. I knew why you went there. I knew you never really cared about me, so why was I beginning to care about you? I had everything. But now I wanted something else. I wanted you to notice, to care.

You didn't care at all. You had no emotion at all. It pissed me off. I was a genius, I surpassed all. I was better than everyone. Everyone except for you. You were just as good as me. Maybe even better. You countered my every move and out-witted me more times than I'd like to admit. I had met my match. But for a while, it was fun. But I know you still didn't care.

I remember when you had to confine Misa. Then you confined me. I was willing to let you do it. It was just one big act all along. I knew that you were aware of that. But you couldn't prove it. I had the upper hand.

I'd thought it all through. After a while, I'd forgotten everything; the Death Note, the shinigami, all of it. But I still rememberred my feelings towards you. You were my best friend, and I cared about you...

All I could think of when we got out was that I knew I couldn't be Kira. I was ready to solve this case with you.

Then you added the handcuffs. It was strange to say the least. I knew you still doubted me, and it actually hurt a little... You said we were friends, so why couldn't you just believe me?

You said you were depressed. The way you made it sound... It's like you wanted me to be Kira. I was so angry. Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have punched you in the face. But you pissed me off. I trusted you! So why couldn't you trust me?! Did I even matter to you? Were you really that uncaring? I wanted to hate you, but I couldn't. More than anything I was just sad. But why?

Was there something wrong with me?

Then we caught the man at Yotsuba. It took us a while to catch him and Matsuda almost screwed everything up. But we caught him. We had the Death Note. And for a moment, I thought it was all over. I thought we finally finished this and that you and I could actually have a real friendship.

But then I had to remember everything. I regained ownership by killing that fool without you even knowing it. I was victorious. The handcuffs were removed.

All I had to do now was eliminate you and... And... Did I really want to kill you? Sure, you were in the way, but you were my best friend... I didn't want it to end that way.

But you were in the way... But I cared about you... But I'm the next God. Who needs friends when you're God?... But you were the only person in this world that I could ever really talk to and relate to... But I had to create a perfect world... But was it really a perfect world with you gone? Was it really worth losing you? What was this feeling all of a sudden? I was getting close to you. I had to distance myself. My emotions were getting in the way. I had to stay calm. I had to stay away from such feelings for the sake of the world. I'd have to kill you if that time ever came.

Then you lost. Rem killed you. I talked to you while we were out in the rain. You stood there and looked up at the grey sky. For a second, I thought you were insane. It was cold and wet out there. Then I went out into the rain so I could talk to you and realized that for the first time ever that I actually liked the rain...

You spoke of hearing bells that day. I was confused. Maybe you really were just insane... When we dried off inside, and you were rubbing my feet, I wondered why you were acting so strange that day. It was like you actually cared. I felt.. guilty... But why?

I reached down to dry your hair when I realized something. I couldn't kill you. I just couldn't. This feeling, whatever it was, told me that I could never live with myself ever again if I killed you. I cared about you, my only friend. I realized that this feeling... may actually be... love... But it was too late.

You died in my arms. For a moment, all I could think to do was smile victoriously down at you. I won. You were finally out of the way. I could finally create the perfect world that I envisioned. Then as you slowly closed your eyes I finally realized something.

You knew it all along, didn't you?

You warned Watari about deleting that data because you knew something might happen to him. That day, you knew you were going to die. And you did, knowing that it was all my fault...

I suddenly hated myself. I never got to apologize. I didn't realize that, in your own way, that's what you were doing- apologizing. I didn't even get to show that I was sorry. The last message you got from me was "I won." Damn it.

For a moment, I lost it. For a moment, I wasn't just acting. For a moment, I wanted you to just come back to me.

I called out for you to come back, but I knew you wouldn't. It was over for you. I decided that I couldn't afford to feel these things towards you anymore. I had to create my world. I had to be the God that the good, innocent, hard-working people expected me to be.

So that's what I did.

Then, I finally lost as well. It was all over. Takada died, Mikami killed himself, Misa was now an "ordinary girl". And I... Just died. Matsuda (can you believe it?) shot me quite a few times and Ryuuk finally wrote my name down.

I could have sworn you were right there, standing above me, looking down at me as I died. I wanted to say something. I wanted you to know that I was sorry. But nothing came out. Instead, I took my final breaths and closed my eyes as I felt my own heart stop.

I was supposed to be a God- a savior for all the hard-working and innocent people of the world. I was justice. They were bad people I was killing, after all. Was I wrong, all along?

I remembered my dad's words when we were talking after he went to the hospital from that heart attack. "It's not the the person who kills that is evil, but the power to do it that is trully evil." The words echoed in my mind.

"So, what you are saying, Mr. Yagami, is that the moment that Kira gained this... 'power', this ability, he was doomed from the very start?"

Were you both talking to me that day? Did you both know that I was Kira at that time? Is that why you both chose to say that? L, did you know that this was the fate that awaited me in the end? Or were you just as unsure as I was?

I opened my eyes and saw your sleeping form laying there in front of me. That wasn't a dream just now, I knew it. You look almost the same as did back then. The only difference is that you're now a little more tan and the bags under your eyes are now gone.

Is this what happened to those who used a Death Note? Was I given a second chance? You woke up shortly after me, sitting up and looking around. I realized that, this time, I had one more chance. I would do things right. I loved you L, Ryuzaki, Ryuuga. And I still do.

I sat up and wrapped my arms around you, saying "Good morning." I felt a strange pain in my shoulder blades and my hands. I decided that it was probably nothing and ignored it. Second chances make every difference, don't they?

AN:Well, what did you guys think? Was this bad? I had a harder time writing for Light than I did writing for L. ._.' But I hope you enjoyed this. The next chapter will continue after this and whatnot. This story actually has a plot now. Just don't expect super fast updates, because all I gotta work with here is a phone. Thanks for reading (I'm so babbling right now. Sorry.) Which POV was better, in your opinion? And no, the pain wasn't just "nothing". There is a real reason for that.

A quick thank you to D. M. (Sorry! my stupid phone wouldnt let me type the whole thing then hit save without the damn thing taking a chunk out of the name) for helping with the upcoming plot and with this chapter.
