Author's Note: AAHH I am so sorry I know I said I'd update around once a week and I also know that it has been months. I could list all the reasons why I couldn't keep my word or I could hope that a simple sorry would suffice for my lovely readers, however few you may be. I guess I'll go with the latter. I'm sorry. Now, on with the fanfiction!
"Death Note…." Lelouch was certain this man was delusional. I mean for one thing, that pathetic lie. Who in their right mind keeps track of how brief acquaintances die? Lelouch flipped to the start of the book where he noticed there seemed to be writing in a different font. Well this was interesting. Lelouch smirked. He decided to read it out loud, he was intrigued as to what other lies this Light person could come up with.
"The human whose name is written in this note shall die?" Lelouch looked at Light expectantly.
Shit. Shit shit shit. At this point Light knew there was no use in lying. But perhaps a bout of honesty in this particular situation would help shed a little light into Lelouch's head regarding who the real danger was here.
"Very well then, you caught me. I'm Kira. That book is how all the criminals got their heart attacks and how I'm slowly restoring peace into the world." Lelouch looked…confused? It was probably because he had not pictured Kira to look like he did.
"What's a Kira?" Asked Lelouch. What's a Kira? What's a Kira?! Did this person just ask what a Kira was. My goodness. First the emperor thing and now this. What, do they not have news in mental facilities? But still, it wouldn't be difficult for Light to take advantage of this situation, his improvisation skills were nothing if not brilliant.
"Okay, okay fine you caught me. I'm not Kira. Kira is from this manga, I guess you haven't heard of it. They're turning it into a live action movie and I play the main character. I thought I'd carry around the main prop to get into character." Light added a charming smile. Those always work. Now would be a good time to leave Lelouch alone for a bit.
"Anywho, I'll be back."
Okay so this Light person claims to be an actor. Lelouch would deal with him once he got back. For now, more pressing matters. Such as why he wasn't burning in hell.
"So, Decim." The white haired man looked up. "Why am I here?"
"Sir, I explained the rules at the begi—"
"No, no. I know that. But, why am I not in hell or something. Why have I come here after my death."
Decim glanced at Chiyuki, who looked just as confused. Decim decided to tread carefully and not give away too much.
"Do you think you're dead?" he asked the black haired one.
"Yes, yes I do. I remember getting stabbed and I remember apologizing to my sister. Look, I have never been one of much faith or anything and I don't know much about religion but you don't really look like a 'God' type person. And if I'm dead, is Light dead as well?" Decim almost smiled at this. Almost. Still, this man is probably the calmest dead person Decim had ever met.
"Very well then. Yes, both of you are deceased and no longer on Earth. For now, just continue playing along and the answers shall come to you."
I'm….dead? Thought Light, who had heard the conversation from around the corner.
