Hey there! Sorry for never updating this or giving a lack of updates but I've had mock exams and coursework for the past three weeks. It has been a killer but now I'm back. Oh and I've also been busy playing my new PS4 on the weekends but the amount that I play will go down because I must finish this story! I've planned out the ending and I will apologise in advance now. Sorry. Anyway, let's get on with this chapter. Oh, and merry Christmas!

A Murderer and a Time Machine

Chapter 26: Confrontation

Light glared at the man and his companions before him. The Doctor had found him. Straightening his bowtie, the Doctor inwardly smirked at how Light felt about the situation before him. He obviously wasn't very confident.

"Where's Misa then, Light?" The Doctor asked. "Did you kill her already?"

Light scoffed. "Seems like you haven't changed then, Doctor?" He smiled at the timelord. "We can't all have friends like yours." He gestured to the couple that stood by the Doctor's side.

"My name's Jane Goodman and this is my husband, Dave." Spoke up the red head with her usual Scottish accent.

Waving his hand, Light continued to converse with the Doctor. "Who are you, Doctor?" He grinned sadistically. "Or do I have to kill you to find out?"

"I already told you who I was, Yagami but you refused to accept it as truth."

"You said you were a timelord and that you met the shinigami king. I never heard you tell me who you are." Light muttered, raising an eyebrow.

The Doctor huffed. "Do I really have to say that I'm not human?" He emphasized the word, making Light stumble back slightly. Was this why Ryuk was scared? He knew that if he wasn't human then he couldn't kill him. The death note only worked on humans as stated in the rules. He knew he wouldn't be able to kill the Doctor with his death note but maybe he could use his hands instead. If there was a possibility that the Doctor could get him killed, he would do whatever it took so that it wouldn't happen.

Light composed himself. "I guess that it explains why that blue box appeared out of nowhere."

"What I want to know, Light," The Doctor questioned. "Where is Ryuk?"

"Out." He replied bluntly.

"Why are you killing all of these people?" Amy asked, stepping out. "If you know that the police are inches away from catching you, why do you still continue to kill everyone?"

Light snickered. "I want this world to be cleansed. I was given this notebook for a reason and that is so that I could become God of this new world."

"I will not let you kill anyone else!" Stated the Doctor loudly.

"This is coming from the man who openly admitted that he killed his whole race." Light smirked at the man whose eyes were shrouded in darkness. Staring over at the curtain, Light continued to talk. "Misa, get rid of them now." He ordered.

The Doctor spun around to see the curtain drop to the ground and reveal a familiar model: Misa Amane. It was the second Kira. In her small hand lay a black notebook and in her other hand was a black pen that wrote on the deadly paper. Fumbling in his pocket, he produced his sonic. He pressed the button, aimed at the book. It dropped. He ran faster than ever before.

Touching the book, he grasped onto it. In front of him was a disgusting monster. Another shinigami. It held onto the other end of the death note. He tugged at it. It yanked it. Using his strength, the Doctor heaved the notebook to him. The shinigami, Rem, reflected his actions. With a loud rip, the book tore in half sending both parties to fly backwards. The Doctor's eyes widened and noticed that this bit of paper had some of Amy's name written on.

With haste, he snatched Amy and Rory's hands and dragged them into the TARDIS. He set off back to HQ, leaving Light to smirk at the disappearing blue box.

"Light, I am sorry for not writing down their names." She dropped her head in shame. "I couldn't see that Doctor's name with my eyes." Looking up, she examined his face which was quite serious.

"Don't worry, Misa." He stared at her. "We will keep them alive so that we can ruin the Doctor and I can finally become God."

L stared at the space that the TARDIS had recently occupied and waited for the return of the Doctor. He was finding the papers on the table very tedious and they hadn't been very helpful so far. Luckily, he didn't have to wait for long because after an hour the time traveller and his companions returned back to headquarters. The oak-haired man shuffled out of the TARDIS and held half of a book in his grasp.

"I assume that you have Miss Amane's death note." L stated.

The time lord nodded. "Yes but sadly, I couldn't get the other half." He looked down at his friend's half-written names. "It seems that a shinigami has formed an attachment to a human being."

L peered up from his papers that he was assessing. "An attachment?"

"Yes, it means that this shinigami is much more dangerous than Ryuk whom is Light's shinigami." He traced his finger across the paper. "The shinigami even wanted to stop me getting the notebook. So it wants to stop us from foiling their plans."

The detective shot his hand out and the Doctor placed it in his grasp. The first thing he noticed was the neat writing on the page which he assumed to be Misa Amane's. However, what struck him was the two unfinished names on the page. Amy and Rory. Both were the only names on the page and from the slight scuffs on the page, he assumed they were written in a rush. Therefore that meant- "Miss Amane tried to write down their names, didn't she?" He stated, glancing over at the couple who stood just outside the TARDIS.

"She did and she still knows their names." The Doctor sighed. "Light will use them against me."

"I apologise." L mumbled, continuing to examine the notebook
