Meanwhile, back in the Shinigami realm...
Kenpachi sat, staring glumly at the cards he had been dealt. What's the point in gambling or sleeping all the time? Oh well, it's not like there's any use for Shinigami anymore.... Zaizen (Kisuke) taught the humans how to fight the Hollows by themselves, and now we're out of the job... Kenpachi looked up, feeling a slight tingling sensation.
"Eh, what is it?" Shuhei looked up from his hand.
"Oh, nothin'... Someone just wrote my name in a Death Note... Aren't they smart enough to know that you can't kill a Shinigami that easily? Oh well." He put down a card.

"Er, you don't need to follow me around... You'll get better sooner if you stay in bed..." Kira muttered. Hughes had been trailing him for the last hour, and it was getting to be quite unnerving.
"Promise me you'll stay here and treat me forever!" Hughes began to drool on Kira's scalpel.
"Er, not there... Just lay down..." Kira pushed Hughes into the bed. Just then, Hughes came to his senses.
"Agh, get off me! I have a wife and daughter you know! And I'm not a firefly..."
Gin decided not to go in.
L wandered the hallways not really knowing or caring where he was going. He suddenly looked up in interest as he heard, "I'm not a firefly..." Echo though the hallways. L turned the corner, where there was a door in which he believed the sound came from. Before he could enter though, he heard a loud crash, and the breaking of glass cursing, and then suddenly, a man, with blonde hair and wearing some kind of lab coat was violently shoved out of the room, with the door slamming behind him.
"Urggggg....." He groaned. "Damn patients, stealing the DAMN SCALPELS! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!.....oh...."
Kira said, finally noticing L. "Umm... Um.... Patient trouble... 'Ye know..."
Gin smiled. Kira was becoming more and more like him...
L didn't. So he just nodded. Where have I seen you before? L thought.
"Um.... Well..." Now Kira felt very embarrassed.
Who are...? Who. OH!
"KIRA!" L screamed, pointing at Kira.
"Huh? Um... Yeah, that's me..."
"You're under arrest! Come quietly or I'll..." L was cut off, as Kira shot off, disappearing behind the corner.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY KIRA!!" L yelled, and ran after him.
~€•€~~€€
~ Four Hours Later~
L was lying on the floor panting. "Where.... Are ...~~ you... *cough*..... Damn... you... KIRA!!!.... Urg...." L groaned. But suddenly he saw a flash, and looked up. And standing there was Kira, with a look of worry on his face.
"You're hurt...." Kira said. "I have to HEAL you!"
"ARG!!! KIRA!!!" L screamed. "CONFESS!! CONFESS!!!!!!" then he began to cough up blood.
"Let me help you! I can take you to Squad 4!"
"DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!!! YOU MONSTER!!!!" L began rasping and his eyes began to roll to the back of his head.
"Mon-...Monster??...." Kira's pupils began to shake. "NO! NOOOO!!!" Kira started to back away.
"Ohh.... You think you can get away from me that easily!!" L said, pulling out his last pastry from his......... He immediately began to regenerate.
Kira screamed and ran, quickly turning a corner. But now, L was faster.
L easily got to the corner and turned, but something caught him by surprise.
There, in a wheelchair, blocking the hallway was Hughes!
L frowned. "Get out of my way, Hughes-san. Kira's a murderer. You can't just let him get away!"
Hughes sat there. He began to tremble, tears welling up in his eyes. "You don't know... Kira didn't want any if this to happen... HE NEVER WISHED FOR ANY OF THIS!"
L blinked. What the hell was going on?
Hughes pulled out a gun from the side compartment in his wheelchair, aiming it at L.
"You should shoot for the head."
They stood there for several seconds, neither making a move. L stepped forward. "You shouldn't wield a weapon unless you're willing to use it. I could kill you now, and it would be well within my rights to do so."
Hughes could only watch as L walked past him, down the hallway. Hughes smiled.
Clack. L didn't even have time to react before...
BANG! BANG!
L felt three sharp stings to his back, and then everything melted to darkness.
"I always like to shoot from the back." Hughes chuckled, and then fainted.
Hughes opened his eyes blearily. The first thing he saw was a shining white light, a tunnel that extended into infinity... The light began to take shape, and he realized he was lying on a bed. He saw Kira enter his line of vision. "Oh it looks like you're awake... Are you okay?"
Hughes nodded drowsily. There's so many times where I should have died... So why am I still alive? It's all thanks to Kira and my incredible luck...
L opened his eyes. "KIRA!"
"Huh? L?!" Hughes jerked his head over to see L glaring at Kira.
Kira sighed. "Well it looks like you're both awake. I think the Captain has something to say to the two of you." Kira bowed and exited the room.
So that's what the Japanese bow looks like... Hughes thought, just as Gin walked in.
EXTRAS
Mello stood around in the alley, dreaming about soccer balls. He frowned. There was nothing to look forward to in life. Each day seemed to get darker and darker... He went into his house, and saw Roger talking to a man. The man quickly left, promising to contact Roger tomorrow. Roger smiled and closed the door, then turned to Mello. He leaned over him menacingly, and then kicked him to the ground. "WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE L?!"
Later Mello joins a gang, and then teams up with Toshiro to become the world's greatest soccer team. Roger reads insect books.
