A/N: Thank you to all those who reviewed the last drabble. You made my day! The next two chapters (I was planning on three, but depends on how it goes) will be on L and Light, a sort of requiem, if you like. Enjoy!
X. Irony
'The mills of god grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small'
-Charles A. Beard-
Aizawa, that upright, moralistic man, who knows he did the right thing, who knows that Kira Was Wrong and Had To Be Stopped watches the files on his desk multiply as crimes increase, but knows that there could have been no other way. He knows that what happened is Right and Just.
Ryuuk, who still watches the members of the old crew when he feel like it, laughs his head off when Aizawa guns down the burgler who broke into his apartment and raped and shot his wife and child. Talk about two tapes, two measures.
And the last face Aizawa sees before he turns the gun on himself, isn't that of his wife, nor of his daughter, but the mocking face of a triumphant Kira, a Kira who has gained another unwitting disciple. The broken and defeated Aizawa laughs as he pulls the trigger, laughs and cries at the irony of it all.
Poor man. I never really did like him though. Ff. net is destroying my editing. :growls:
