Death Note Mu Two
Chapter Four/Quatro/Quatre
Light was getting Closer. Not just 'it's still pretty far away' closer, but 'If I sneeze I'll mess up the wall' Closer, with a capital C. It surprised him that the building hadn't taken too long to reach despite seeming so far away when he first noticed it. It surprised him even more that the huge palace type thing was even real. People go mad in big deserts when they're on their own, and Light had just assumed that the building was a hallucination of some sort. Why he'd chosen to go towards something he didn't think was real was beyond even him, to be honest. Sure, an aim is useful, but what if you reach the aim and it isn't there? Then you're screwed. So Light had reached his aim relatively quickly, and felt even more screwed when it turned out to be real. He sighed, and looked at the building. Up close, it was a lot like a castle, but even larger. It was about the size of… well, Light had nothing to compare it to. It was that big. The walls were a silvery grey, similar to the colour of the sand, and there wasn't any sign of bricks etc. Rather, it looked like the whole thing was one smooth surface that had been crafted rather than built. There were turrets.
Light stopped and looked for an entrance. There were no windows, no doors, no signs that it could contain anything. Light suspected that it was some natural landmark, not a building. It didn't look like it could house life. Or death, seeing as he'd already had his name written. Ryuk. 'Oh yeah,' said Light. 'He'd be so much help here. He'd say, "Oh. Yeah. We should find a way in, maybe there'll be apples." Light bit his lip. He was dead, he'd lost every thing he was trying to achieve- 'Kira was trying to achieve,' He corrected himself- and now he was in some god forsaken wasteland completely alone, trying to spot a way into a giant natural fortress thing. He was allowed to go a bit crazy. Hell, the laws of being human practically demanded that he lose his mind in such a situation. And Light was very human. Very, very human. He was the victim here. How dare the world punish Him, their Lord, who was only trying to make a paradise for them? How DARE they?! 'Shut up, Kira,' said Light.
'Sorry,' said Kira.
'So, Imaginary Ryuk… What shall we do now?' asked Light sitting on the sand and grinning.
'Well,' Imaginary Ryuk, 'We should find a way in. Maybe there'll be apples.'
Light stood up and shook his head. 'I knew you'd say that.'
L sat inside the building, watching Light. In his hand was a cup of black coffee. Mello sat beside him, in a rather more normal way. 'Err, L?' asked Mello.
'What is it, Mello-kun?'
'How come Yagami can't see the windows?'
'Hmm…' hummed L. 'Perhaps this world sees him as evil? And so it doesn't want him to know all the good guys, such as us, are in here?'
Mello just looked at him, and scowled. 'Okay,' he said, withdrawing a bar of chocolate from somewhere about his persons. 'Why the hell is he talking to himself?'
L smiled a puzzled little smile.
Chapter 5
Non-Imaginary Ryuk, or Ryuk, sat in the shinigami realm. A small crowd had gathered around him and were watching Light wander around with interest. Ryuk looked around. Thankfully, none of them had found his secret stash. But he could hardly get an apple from there with all these other shinigami around. And he was starting to get cravings.
Light walked up to the wall of the building. He was coming to refer to it in his mind as the 'Fortress'. He wasn't sure why. He was, however, aware that all these people he was talking to weren't real. Granted, he could see them, but he knew they were simply parts of mind. He still tolerated their brief existences, though, possibly to prove a point to himself. Kira-Light would never talk to figments of his imagination. Yes, Light had an imagination. He liked to be more methodical in things relating to the death note, but before he found it, all he really did when he was bored was sit and think things up. This was a lot of the time.
L, on the other hand, was very imaginative with the Kira case. Maybe if Light had been more imaginative, he'd still be alive now? The only really imaginative thing he did in his entire being investigated was to hide his dirty magazines.
'Hmm,' he said. 'There seems to be no way in. Imaginary Ryuk, stop changing colour and give me some advice.'
Light's vision of Ryuk eventually settled on a pale shade of yellow and walked up to Light. 'Well,' he said revealing glowing orange teeth, 'If there's no entrance, we make one. We'll use the Giant Apple.'
'Giant Apple?' said Light.
'Yeah, it's over there next to the pile of sweatpants. Look, it's guarded by those zombie robot pirate ninja cowboys wielding chain katanas.'
'Oh yeah,' said Light. 'How'd I miss that?'
On closer inspection, the Giant Apple was a strangely shaped rock, about the size of a chair. The zombie robot pirate ninja cowboys let him have it when he pointed out a flaw in their existence by stating 'robots don't die, so you can't have zombie robot anythings.' The 'Giant Apple' was sharp and pointy on one side, smooth on the other. Light lifted it easily- all that time spent playing tennis was useful after all. He then got ready to break a wall.
'Oh, god,' said Mello, dropping his chocolate. 'Matt! Get over here and watch! Kira's gone crazy!'
'What are you doing, Light-kun?' sighed L.
'How much damage can he do with a pointy rock?' asked Mello, pulling Matt away from the game he was playing.
'Well,' said L, biting his thumbnail. 'With a few full speed runs he could make a reasonable dent. He could reach us with in a few hours.' The three of them watched Light run towards them. L got up and stepped back.
'What're you standing over there for?' asked Matt.
'Yeah, he can't get to us.' Said Mello.
'I suppose,' said L. 'Unless of course he-'
Then Light crashed through the window.
