Lelouch vi Britannia knew he was dead, but how on Earth did he end up in some strange bar in the actual middle of nowhere he knew. Was this some kind of judgement? But if it was judgement, then why hadn't they already sent him to hell. It was he himself that said that those who are not prepared to die should not kill, and he was prepared to deal with the consequences. Perhaps, he thought, this is some sort of judgement which has nothing to do with one's experiences, but instead how one acts in tense situations. Lelouch concluded that it was not whether or not he won the chess game, but how he acted in either circumstances which would determine his fate. . He would need to put the other man in a situation which would make even the most calm person lose their temper. But did Lelouch even get to go to Heaven. Did he deserve to manipulate his way to eternal peace. What if these so called gods could tell whether he was manipulating. Then should he even try? Should he just play a normal game of chess? What, should he try to get into hell? This was getting more complicated than necessary. At this point, Lelouch wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in a strange bar after he died to be judged by a suspicious looking person with seemingly one eye...oh wait. Lelouch decided to wait a little longer before making a final plan of action because while he was sure he was dead there still remained the possibility he wasn't. He moved his king.

Light Yagami was extremely confused. No, Light never got confused. He was simply disoriented in a situation in which he'd rather not be. But Light wasn't worried at all, there wasn't a time he could think of in which his improvised plans ever failed. Ray Penber's wife, he dealed with on the spot. Hell, he even managed to get rid of L. This should be nothing. He just needed to figure out what was going on. He decided to ask. But just as he was about to, the man across from him made his move. Now Light was confused. Did that idiot just move his king?!
"You know that that's your king, right?" at his opponent's nod, Light pressed on "Are you sure you'd like to move that. You know how to play chess, right?" Lelouch leaned back in his armchair.
"If the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?" Well then, thought Light, this man is truly an idiot. What is he, royalty. IF the very objective of chess is protecting the king then why utilize it in such an aggressive manner. But still, Light was a bit concerned as to whether he would be able to make it to his meeting with Near after this strange event. It would be better to take precautions. Like their captor's name.
"Excuse me sir! Could I get a martini"
"Certaintly. You as well sir?" he asked the other man. Lelouch, was it, simply shook his head. The bartender came back and handed the martini to Light.
"So" said Light, sipping what turned out to be a good drink. "How long have you worked here, Decim, was it?" The bartender looked slightly taken aback by the small talk but seemingly decided to humor Light.
"Quite some time now." Wonderful, though Light, who was doing all this for the simple result of getting Decim's full name. He had decided to utilize his death note as luckily he had his bag. For some strange reason, Light's cell phone was not working and he was unnable to contace Mikami. Light needed to continue in order to get Decim comfortable to get a name. Although, the possibility of a criminal giving their real name was a bit rare. But clearly this person hadn't heard of Kira or else he would've mentioned it by now. Light thought that was a bit strange but didn't think it was that pressing of a matter.
"Decim is an interesting name, isn't it. Wouldn't it sound strange with any last name?" This would make Decim obligated to say something about his surname. It would have to work.
"I am not sure sir, as I have no last name." This was strange. Maybe the opponent then.
"How about you, Lelouch. I haven't heard that name before."
"I am Britannian, not Japanese. That's probably why." Britannian? Light was about to ask what country that was when Lelouch got up.
"I am Lelouch vi Britannia, 99th emperor of Britannia. And I demand you tell me what is going on."

Author's Note: Ack, that was my attempt at a cliffhanger. The next chapter will have Lelouch's point of view and why he decided to say what he did. For the record Light thinks Lelouch is delusional and Lelouch still knows he's dead. I want to throw in Decim's confusion at the antics of these two geniuses. Sorry it took so long to update though.
