Disclaimer: I don't own Deathnote or Naruto

I can't remember if I've been using the spelling Ryuuk or Ryuk. But for this chapter, I'll be going with Ryuk. I've seen both, but this seems to be more popular.

Again I've borrowed a name from Naruto.

Spoiler Warning: L's name revealed.

Also note that I reference events in the novel.

And does anyone know Yamamoto's first name. Come to think of it, I might be mistaken on his last name.

The name Nekomart was something I picked randomly. As far as I know, no Nekomart exists.

I'll begin working on the epilogue soon.

I hope the ending isn't too anti-climactic.

And I hope I didn't contradict myself at any time.

And I apologize for getting a little religious in this chapter.

Execution Stanza: The End- Part One: The Confrontation

...

"Be careful Misa," Sayu whispered to her friend.

It was almost time for the confrontation between Kira and her foes.

"Don't worry; the Deathnote is on my side. I've already written everyone's names into the Deathnote, everything will go as I've dictated. Nate Rivers will die today," Akira said with a smile.

Ryuk laughed like a maniac.

"What's so funny, Bakagami?" Akira snarled.

"Hey, don't call me a Stupid God, I can write your name in my Deathnote at any time you know," Ryuk reminded her.

"Yeah, like you'd actually kill me," Akira challenged Ryuk. "Go ahead, do it." She knew Ryuk wouldn't do it. The Deathnote's nature was to make every death as natural as possible while trying to execute any deaths written in the notebook. Thus Akira would be kept around so she could activate the Deathtriggers. This made it unlikely that Ryuk would kill her. The posibility still remained, but she was confident he wouldn't.

Deathnotes are only capable of killing humans, but they're capable of controlling everything, from animals to the weather. One of Akira's earlier tests had proven it.

…

Madara Momichi- Heart Attack- on 8/24 dies of a heart attack in the rain.

…

There hadn't been a cloud in the sky when she wrote that on the 23rd. But the Deathnote made it rain. Deathnotes could also control Shingami. This was how she planned to destroy Ryuk. Akira had also taken measures to ensure that Ryuk wouldn't write her name down. Shingami had no reason to try to see if they could control each other with their notebooks, so she doubted anyone in the Shigami Realm knew about it. Rem certainly hadn't.

…

"Rem, is there a way to control a Shigami," she had once asked.

"No, why do you ask, Misa?"

"Ryuk seems like he could be a threat to Light's plan."

…

"What makes you think I won't?" Asked Ryuk.

Akira just scoffed.

In truth, Ryuk had no desire to kill the girl. Looking at her life span, he chuckled, 'she'll be dieng soon enough anyway.'

Neither of them had any idea that Akira was about to extend her own life with the power of the Deathnote.

Akira headed to the site of the final battle.

…

Near, Lidner, Matsuda, Gevanni, and Rester waited breathlessly. Yamamoto was not with them. They all feared that Kira had gotten to him. They were right.

'This is the same warehouse where I defeated the original Kira,' Near thought to himself. 'Why is this Kira meeting us face to face? Is she that confident that we won't be able to arrest her.? Does she plan to finish us off face to face? Maybe she just wants to mock us?

Near's thoughts continued as he slowly opened the warehouse door. 'But what is her connection to Light Yagami? Was she simply a devoted Kira worshipper? Did she know Light personally? Maybe this Kira was once used by Light in his plans, just like Mikami, Amane, and Takada? Did she have some sort of connection to the first Kira? No, we knew all of Light's movements leading up to his death. He didn't have anyone else helping him.'

Near thrust the warehouse doors open.

Halle Bullook, better known as Halle Lidner, died on the spot, just as Akira had written it.

…

Halle Bullook- Heart Attack- Moments before confronting Kira, dies of a Heart Attack just as thje warehouse doors are thrust open.

…

"No, Halle," exclaimed Near, displaying more emotion than ever before in his life. Deep, down, he knew it was all over, but a small part of him clung to the hope of denial. His grip was slipping fast.

"She was just the first to go," said a synthetic voice. "By the time I'm done here today, you'll all be gone!"

….

Execution Stanza: The End Part II: The Revenge Begins Now!

…

The members of the investigation looked forward. Ryuk stood before them.

"Hello again," Was all he said. He wasn't really sure how to act in this sort of situation so he remained mostly silent.

Remembering everyone that had died, Near began to snap. He could think of no way out of this and couldn't handle the threat of death. "It's you again. You've brought misery to our world again," Near growled angrily. Just as Light had done many years ago when he realized it was all over, Near began to lose his cool. "You stupid Shinigami! Have you nothing better to do with your time!" Nobody had ever seen him this angry. They all lost faith, believing that Near had given up.

In truth, this was just the Deathnote taking effect. Akira could see it in her mind. She was the puppeteer, and they were all her puppets. They were already in her grasp. She was pulling all their strings, Near's, Rester's, Gevanni's, and Matsuda's.

Akira remembered a portion of what she had written in the Deathnote for poor Nate.

Hears the phrase "Hello again." And responds, "You stupid Shinigami! Have you nothing better to do with your time!"

The only reason he would respond to the phrase "Hello again," with, "You stupid Shinigami," was if a Shinigami he'd already met was the one to say, "Hello again." That Shinigami was Ryuk. Of course, there were other measures Akira had taken to ensure this occurred during her confrontation Near and not before. It was unnecessarily complicated, but perhaps it was her career as an actor that left her desiring the dramatic.

"So the four of you are all that's left," Akira said with a smile. They couldn't see this, though, because she was wearing a thick brown robe with her hood drawn over her face. 'Actually, it's five,' she thought. 'But that's my little secret.'

"Show yourself Akira, we know it's you," Near said angrily.

Akira joyfully remembered a plan she had abandoned. In it, Sayu was to come to the warehouse in her place, just to mess with Near's morale. "Akira," she would say, "Who is Akira?" She would then lower her hood and reveal that Near had gotten it wrong. It would have devastated Near and served to infuriate Matsuda, who would have rubbed the mistake in Near's face.

But in the end she decided that she would rather devastate Matsuda by revealing herself as Kira. There were other ways to screw with Near's head. In Akira's opinion, they were much more effective ways.

"Kira, you're under arrest for the murders of Halle Lidner, Roger Ruvie, Yamamoto, Shuichi Aizawa, Kanzo Mogi, Hideki Ide, and the mass murder of criminals world wide," Matsuda stepped forward with his gun pointed at Kira.

That's when she lowered her hood.

"A…ki…ra," Whispered Matsuda. He could see the ring on her sparking in the light, almost mocking him. He lowered his gun.

"Stupid Matsuda, so easy to fool," Akira said with a smile. "You were so devoted to me that it was pathetic. Now I realize how he must have felt about me."

"How who felt about you?" Matsuda had asked.

Near was the only one to realize it. "You're real name isn't Akira is it? You're the actress and super model Misa Amane."

"That's right, L." She added an impressive amount of sarcasm to the title 'L,' drawing on her talents as an actress once more.

"You know," she continued, "I don't think you deserve that title. Ryuk told me about your little speech that you gave on the day that Light died. You said that with Mello's help, you were able to surpass Lawliet! But I disagree. You'll never be as good as he was."

Near was shocked to learn that she knew L's true name.

"How do you know L's name, Misa?" Near demanded.

"My name is Akira, Nate," she reminded him that she knew his true name as well and could kill him at any time.

"Hand over the Deathnote," demanded Rester.

"I don't have it with me," Akira told them. "Your names are all in it though, I can guarantee that."

"Then why haven't we died yet? Why'd you risk confronting us face to face?" Asked Matsuda. "Are you just going to toy with us?"

"Toy with you?" Akira laughed. "I'm going to break all of you. Want to know a secret? I'm invincible right now. I've discovered a secret way to use the Deathnote on a higher level. It's the Deathtrigger. With it I can write someone's name in the Deathnote without killing them. In fact, with it, I can make myself immune to the Deathnote. But I have no need for that yet, because I came up with an even better idea. You see, the way that the Deathtrigger works is very simple. You create a condition for death that can only be met when you allow it. For me, I like to use an odd phrase or saying. Something no one else will say. Well, it's a bit hard to explain, so how about I show you." She took out a small sheet of paper and handed it over to Near. "This isn't from the actual Deathnote but this is exactly what I wrote."

Matsuda foolishly read the note out loud.

"Anthony Carter," he said, "Shot in the Heart. Hears someone say, 'I loved him but you all took him away from me. Now your hearts shall feel the same pain as me,' and is then shot in the heart."

Near was the only one who realized Matsuda's idiotic blunder.

Gevanni's gun fell to the ground and fired a single shot directly into Restner's heart.

Akira laughed, "Honestly, I had no idea you'd say it for me. My plan was to say the trigger phrase myself to demonstrate its power, but you said it for me. That's just awesome!"

"You idiot," Near shouted at Matsuda.

Matsuda nearly began to cry. He couldn't believe what he'd done. Neither could Akira, she hadn't planned anything nearly as interesting as this little development.

"Now I only have four of you left to kill," Akira said innocently. "Then I'm going to go eat some pie." The three humans cringed in fear, believing this to be another trigger phrase. This was just what Akira had written for all of them. No one even questioned her use of the number 'four.'

…

Hears the phrase, 'Now I only have four of you left to kill, then I'm going to go eat some pie,' and cringes in fear, believing this phrase to be a Deathtrigger.

…

This was written into the entries for Matsuda, Near, and Gevanni.

The Death Note was unable to make humans think things they never would under normal circumstances, but if you were careful enough with your wording, you could bring about any emotion in their hearts.

This was all pointless in the grand scheme of things, but Akira had fun scaring them. But now it was time for the rest of her explanation. "I have three more trigger phrases for the rest of you. But if you lock me up, Ryuk will be locked up with me. Of course, this means he'll kill me to escape. I'm the only one who knows your trigger phrases. As long as I'm alive, you won't die, unless I utter those magic words."

With each sentence Akira completed, her targets feared they would meet their end.

"But if I die, the condition for your death becomes impossible, and you'll die of heart attacks. Except for you, Nate, I've written a second death for you. If the first one becomes impossible, the second will take effect." This was true; Akira had tested this plan before killing Watkin Hash. She had written two deaths for the criminal Sammin Matts. "And trust me, it's painful."

…

Sammin Matts- Heart Attack-Goes to the Nekomart Pet Store and hears the phrase, "That cat is so cute. He reminds me of Light. I think I want to buy him." Then he dies of a Heart Attack.

Sammin Matts-Shot in the head.

…

Akira wrote both deaths only a few seconds apart, but she wrote it a few days before Nekomart went out of business. The day Nekomart closed; Sammin was shot in the head. At first, Akira considered the possibility that the Deathtrigger simply didn't work. But that possibility was excluded when Watkin Hash died.

…

"Who should I kill next," Akira said evilly. "There are four of you left."

This time, her use of the number 'four' instead of 'three' was not unnoticed.

"Don't you mean three?" Ryuk asked.

"Are you saying Yamamoto is alive?" Matsuda asked.

"No," Akira said to both of them. "He's dead." She turned to the Shinigami. "My fourth victim will be you, Ryuk."

Ryuk let out a hysterical laugh. "Do you actually think you could kill me?" He couldn't stop laughing. "I hate to tell you this, Misa, but your life span is almost up."

"Well I assume I'm supposed to be executed or something. Near and the others were probably going to end up catching me. But if I kill them with the Deathnote, then that will extend my life span."

It was listed as a rule that killing certain humans would extend the life spans of others.

This was indeed the truth.

"We'll see," said Ryuk, laughing at the idea. 'She thinks she can kill me. Humans never cease to amaze me.'

"But who shall I kill next," Akira mused playfully, "How about Matsuda!"

Just as she had written, Matsuda wet himself.

He was thoroughly embarrassed, but no one seemed to notice.

Akira took a deep breath. "The world without Light is the world without hope. I shall be the new Light. I am the new Kira. I will save the world from injustice."

Gevanni fell over dead.

"Y..y..ou," Matsuda's voice was shaking, tears were streaming down her cheeks. "I loved you," he sobbed, "How could you?" He pointed his gun at Akira and pulled the trigger, shooting his fiancé in the shoulder.

Akira let out a little cry of pain as she fell. "Touta?" She asked. She sounded so hurt that Matsuda couldn't bare it anymore. The memories flashed through his head. Memories of how they met, their first date, and their first kiss all played out in his mind.

Matsuda pointed the gun at himself, just as Akira had written it.

"Baka," Akira laughed. Matsuda hadn't really shot her. The blood flowing onto the concrete wasn't even hers. It was a little trick she'd planned before hand involving a bullet proof vest, a small bag of blood, and some words written into the Deathnote.

…

Touta Matsuda-Suicide- Hears the phrase, 'Now I only have four of you left to kill, then I'm going to go eat some pie,' and cringes in fear, believing this phrase to be a Deathtrigger. Next he hears the phrase, 'Who shall I kill next. How about Matsuda,' and wets himself. Hysterical, he fires a shot at his fiancé. Seeing what he believes to be her blood, he points his gun at himself and commits suicide.

…

"Now let me explain something I said earlier," Akira spoke to Near. "You said you and Mello were able to catch Kira together, thus surpassing Lawliet. But you're wrong. Had Lawliet not laid the ground work, you wouldn't have been able to do anything against Light. Lawliet forced Light to reveal the Deathnote, if he hadn't done that, you and Mello would never have known about it. You wouldn't have won had you not worked upon the foundation he had already built. Mello might have been able to surpass L over time but you never will. I can see it in your eyes. You've given up. You're all alone and you can't stand it. Mello wouldn't have given up. He'd still be trying to fight me. If he had survived then at least this battle would have been interesting. But I had this fight won from the start! You know it don't you; Lawliet respected Mello more than you. That's why he told Mello about the Wara Ningyo Murders and not you. You were nothing in L's eyes."

This logic wasn't exactly true, but it got the trick done. It messed with Near's head just enough to seal his fate.

'Ryuk seems so calm,' thought Akira, 'But he'll soon be as angry as raging bull. I can't wait to hear what Near says.'

"Shut up!" Shouted Near. "Shut up! You're nothing. You never meant anything to Light! He just used you and you're still following his ideals. You're still working toward his goals! You meant nothing to him!"

'Not yet, huh?' Akira thought. "I believed in Kira's goals long before I met Light. My revenge and my quest for world peace are two completely different objectives that have little to do with each other. Right now, this is all about Light and not Kira. As for the subject of him using me, of course I know he was using me. But that's not important to me. I love him and that's all there is to it." Akira kicked her brain into gear. 'What to say next? 'You were nothing in L's eyes,' was the trigger phrase, but apparently it was taking a little time to work. 'Did I mess up? No, I'm sure this will work.' Akira smiled. "Near its over, bye-bye Nate Rivers," declaring the end was sure to drive him over the edge.

Hearing the words, 'Near its over, bye-bye Nate Rivers,' he was sure that was the trigger phrase. The plan worked, bringing about the end.

"You may be able to kill me, but there is no way you can kill a God, even an idiot like him!" He pointed at Ryuk. "Kill her, Ryuk! She thinks she can kill you, don't let her get away with it!"

Ryuk felt strangely angry. "You're right, I am a God. How dare you order me around?"

"Like I should be afraid of you!" Near spat. "Misa's already written my name down. There's nothing you can do to me!"
"You're wrong," Ryuk said evilly. "I can't kill you, but I can hurt you."

This was extremely out of character for Ryuk, but he didn't realize it. He had no idea he was already caught in Akira's trap.

….

Nate Rivers- Strangled by a Shinigami

….

Ryuk dropped his Deathnote on the floor and wrapped his hands around Nate's throat, squeezing the life out of the young man, laughing as he did so. Nate struggled in vain. When his lifeless body slumped over, Ryuk realized what he had done. He'd killed a human without using the Deathnote. It was a crime punishable by death. His eyes widened in fear as he realized what he had done.

"You, you made me do this!" He accused Akira.'

"Told you I could kill you," Akira said with a laugh. "I just wish I could see your death. I imagine you want to kill me right now, since you're going to be killed anyway. But I imagine they'll be here soon."

Akira wished she could see the Shinigami who arrived to take Ryuk away, but at least she could hear his screams of fear echoing through the air as they dragged him away, back to the Shinigami Realm.

…

Akira couldn't remember all the details she had written in to assure that everyone arrived at the warehouse together, and to control their emotions, but the entry was something along the lines of-

Nate Rivers- Strangled by a Shinigami- Hears the phrase, 'Now I only have four of you left to kill, then I'm going to go eat some pie,' and cringes in fear, believing this phrase to be a Deathtrigger. Hears the words 'You were nothing in L's eyes,' spoken to him, and is soon after strangled by an angry Shinigami. This is witnessed by several bored Shinigami in the Shinigami Realm with an intense interest in upholding the laws of the Shinigami. They arrive moments later to inspect his body.

….

By using phrases like 'bored Shigami,' she could ensure that Shingami in the Shinigami Realm would succumb to boredom. With boredom came the desire to do something, this is how she opened them to the idea of upholding Shigami law. Thus she insured that they would arrive to take Ryuk away before he could do anything, even if they would have normally done nothing of the sort.

Ryuk was still in sight when she called out, "By the way Ryuk, Light told me what you said about there being no Heaven or Hell. I think you're wrong! There is a Heaven and that's where Light is" She shouted.

Akira flipped through Ryuk's Deathnote and found the last entry.

…

Light Yagami

…

Akira stepped outside and whispered to herself, "I have faith that there is a Heaven. I'm sure of it. And Light is waiting there for me." Tilting her head toward the sky, she said, "Light, Lawliet, now that you're no longer enemies, I hope that you can be friends. When I join you, lets all hang out together."
