After testing the Life Note a couple more times, Light decided to kill a couple criminals with the Death Note and leave an unexpected message for those idiots who killed him. He had no doubt that the case was now considered closed, but they would soon learn that that was not the case. Kira was Back.

Near was sitting on a chair putting the last piece of his 100,000 piece tiger puzzle in, when a security guard came running through the doors. This clumsy guard succeeded in not only scattering the puzzle pieces all over the floor, but knocked down his tower of Lego in his haste to reach Near.

"He is back!" said the guard.

"The mail man? Did he bring my new Zabuza and Haku action figures?" said Near in a monotone voice, though he was obviously exited about getting his new toys.

Puzzled the anxiously guard replied "No, It is Kira!"

Near dropped the last piece of the puzzle with the rest on the floor. Shocked he asked "are you sure?"

"Positive" said the guard with complete certainty. "Take a look at these" and the guard handed over 7 pictures of different crime scenes over the world. One in every continents capital. The only similarities where that they were all criminals, died of heart attacks and wrote the same message in their own blood.

"Kira is Back"

Near shuddered at the thought. "Bring me that Kira tape we received just after Lights Death, and get the rest of the team that L gathered here, I am going to need all the help I can get. Also get a janitor to clean up this mess." He said pointing to the piles of Lego and the piles of puzzle pieces scattered all over the floor.

"Yes Sir!" replied the guard as he turned around and ran out of the room bumping the table again on his way out.

"Kira is back. This time it is just me. No Mello and no L. How am I ever going to catch Kira."thought Near, starting to fall into despair.

After killing those criminals, Light suddenly felt so much better, he decided to go to sleep. With all that had happened that day, his mind was still turning and he could not fall to sleep. After about an hour, his mind had finally settled. Now that Light was calm, he finally drifted off into a deep sleep.

It was dark, a nothingness surrounded him. The feeling of despair, rage, and love threatened to overwhelm him. It was like the nothingness was pushing into him, crushing him. Like someone had thrown him into the sea and the currents were crushing up against him. Through this darkness he heard a familiar voice.

"Save me Light," it said

Light woke up panting, and gasping for breath, as Mizuki ran into the room.

"Are you ok Light?" She asked, with a sympathetic tone in her voice.

"It was just a dream," Said Light.

Mizuki shook her head. "No it was very real." she said, the sympathy in her eyes made him feel a little more comfortable. "You were in the Nothingness that awaits all who have used the Death Note, but because you were spared, someone had to take your place. The person who replaces you is the one who loved you most during life, so much so that they felt that love even after moving on." she looked at him with a depressed look on her face.

"Who was it that was sent to the nothingness for me, my father?"

"I can't say, I would not be able to tell, It would be the person you say right before you fell into unconsciousness."

He suddenly knew why the voice sounded so familiar.

It was the voice of L.
