"Well Liang it's been fun" said Rena, who was perched on the roof of a factory. She had a pen in her hand and the Death Note in her lap. "We killed some time, killed each other's boredom. But it's over for you, after all if they put you in prison who knows when you'll die. No, you're journey ends here. I told you when we met that I'd be the one to write your name in my notebook when this was all over, that's the agreement between a Shinigami who drops their notebook and the first human to pick it up." With that she lifted her pen, preparing to write.

Liang stumbled into another warehouse, and managed to walk up a flight of stairs. She ran across the landing and staggered over to another set of stairs. She made it half way up the stairs before she collapsed with exhaustion.
'How did this happen?' she thought, 'How did everything go downhill so fast?'
She knew she was going to die. Even if she didn't die from the bullet wounds Rena would kill her. She wondered what would happen when she died. Would she really go to Mu? Would she go to Heaven or Hell? Would she see her mother? Would she see L?
She wondered why it suddenly mattered but before she could form an answer she felt a sharp pain shoot up her arm and she felt her heart constrict in her chest.
40 seconds…
'This is it' Liang thought.
She began to close her eyes, succumbing to her faith but before she closed her eyes fully a figure appeared, surrounded by a beautiful deep blue glow.
Liang's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open slightly. There was no way, there was just no way…
It was L.
Her hair was as long and thick and tangled as always. She was wearing an almost off the shoulder white shirt and baggy blue jeans and she lacked shoes. She was slouching so badly that her fringe fell into her face and blocked her eyes from view. Perhaps that was for best because Liang feared seeing hate in her eyes.
But when L looked up Liang got a surprise; L wasn't glaring at her, she wasn't even smirking in triumph or smiling. Her face was as blank and emotionless as it had always been but there was something about her eyes that seemed…tired, sad almost.
"L?" Liang whispered in confusion. Why was she there? How was she there? Was she just a hallucination?
L bit her lower lip and then sighed. She couldn't seem to think of anything to say.
But Liang could. "L" she choked out. It was getting hard to breathe. L nodded in acknowledgement. "I…I'm s-s-sorry."
L's face remained blank but she, surprisingly enough took steady, long strides over to Liang and crouched in front of her.
L didn't say anything, didn't do anything other than stare at Liang with her big grey eyes but as Liang's eyes slipped shut and her breathing slowly but surely stopped L gave her a small smile and nodded.
Even when Liang's spirit relinquished hold of her body L stayed crouching there, staring at her friend and rival.
She placed her thumb on her lower lip and sighed once more. "I can't forgive you now," she mumbled, "But maybe someday I'll forgive you Liang-chan…"
…
A/N: I don't know if L would have forgiven Light. He probably could have forgiven him for killing him but I don't know if he could have forgiven him for killing Watari or having Takada kill Mello or letting his followers kill Matt. Maybe he could have eventually, who really knows?
