Another chapter in the same day? If you haven't read the previous chapter already, the I would go back but I really wanted to write this chapter since I've been waiting so long and it's extra-long so you can't complain. There's only one more chapter of this to tie up any loose ends but I have to say that I'll miss writing this. It may not be as long as other fics as it'll only end up at about 30,000 words but I did cut out a lot of the arcs from the original story. Thank you all for following it this long. Be ready for the last chapter soon!
I don't own Death Note or Doctor Who and probably never will.
A Murderer and a Time Machine
Chapter 29: Case Closed?
Misa clung onto the metal bar, glaring daggers at the other three people in the TARDIS. "What have you done to Light-kun?" She demanded.
The Doctor held up his hands defensively. "I've just put him in a cell for the time being so that we can question him. You can have my word that I won't harm him."
The blond didn't seem too happy with his response and launched herself at him. Before she could get her hands on the timelord, Amy intercepted and grabbed Misa by her shoulders. "You have our word that he won't be hurt. Just believe him. He may look hard to trust but he just has one of those faces."
The timelord pulled a dramatic shocked face. "So it is my face that makes people not trust me?"
Amy sighed and shook her head, with a slight smirk on her face. Misa frowned and tried to wriggle out of the red head's grip. However, with a swift movement, L came over and hit the side of her head with the palm of his hand.
"Eh?" Amy mumbled, eyes widening. "What did you do that for?"
"Her voice was annoying me and I had the feeling if we let her speak again that she wouldn't have shut up." L muttered, shuffling over to the center console.
"You could've killed her, you know?" Amy retaliated.
L stared at the Scottish girl. "But she isn't dead, is she?"
Amy was still holding Misa upright by her shoulders and decided to lay her on the seat. She sighed. "I guess that means we solved the case then."
"Not quite." The Doctor replied. "We still have to make a deal with those shinigami so they don't end up killing you, Rory and the taskforce."
L nodded, slouching over. "They may be angry that we arrested their humans and could kill us out of spite."
"Yes. I'm not worried about Ryuk, Light's shinigami as much since he seems like that he couldn't care less what happens to Light. But Rem, Misa's shinigami is much more difficult because it seems that it has an attachment to her."
"It is quite troublesome."
The Doctor sighed. "I don't think that we'll be able to bring Misa to justice any time soon."
"I think that she was just brainwashed by Light anyway." Amy added.
The TARDIS screeched as it came to a halt. The Doctor instructed Amy to lift up Misa's head whilst he took the legs and they took her outside the TARDIS and laid her on a bed in another cell far away from Light's.
Not long later, the TARDIS landed back at the taskforce hotel headquarters. All the men rushed over to the TARDIS as soon as it appeared since they wondered about what they'd been doing since they disappeared. In a couple of seconds, the TARDIS door swung open and the trio exited one after another.
The Doctor smiled. "We've caught ourselves some Kiras!" He exclaimed as if he were calling them wildlife.
Matsuda jumped up happily but stopped after Aizawa glared at him disapprovingly. "How did you catch them anyway?" Matsuda asked more maturely.
"Let's just say that the TARDIS is shinigami proof!" The Doctor grinned stupidly.
Before the Doctor could continue speaking, Rem and Ryuk showed up. Since all the members had touched both notebooks from previous moments, they could all view the shinigami. "Doctor." Rem muttered.
"Ah," The Doctor's smile vanished like the sun on a winter's day. "You found us already it seems."
"I demand that you release Misa now or I will-"
"Kill us?" The Doctor interrupted. "Or kill them should I say but I won't let you. If I let Misa go now, she'll get you give take her death note so that she can continue killing people as Kira. Also, what's to stop her from killing me and my friends here?"
"I will not discuss this with you, Doctor" Replied the shinigami.
"Yes you will." The Doctor growled. "You shouldn't be letting humans use these death notes in the first place, This is your mess that I have to clean up. If you didn't give Misa that death note in the first place then she wouldn't be in this situation."
"But Gelus-"
"No!" The Doctor yelled. "You are the one who got Misa to kill and shorten her lifespan with her eyes so you will be the one to save her so she can lead a normal life."
"A normal life?"
The timelord nodded. "I will let Misa go on a number of conditions and will not have any charges pressed against her."
Aizawa spoke up. "Let her go? You can't be serious-"
"Mr Aizawa, I would let the Doctor finish if you value your life." L interrupted.
The Doctor cleared his throat. "As I was saying, I will let Misa go on the conditions that one, she will not be allowed to have her death note back. Two, she will need to relinquish ownership of the death note and once she does, you will let me burn the death note. Three, Misa must never be allowed to touch a death note ever again. Four, you will not kill anyone involved in the Kira case and five, you must go back to the shinigami realm and never return to Earth."
Rem thought in over for a moment. "Fine, but I want a promise from you Doctor that I will not see Misa harmed in any way before her predicted death and if she is, I will kill the person who does so."
"That's fine with me. I doubt anyone will want to take on a shinigami."
Ryuk chuckled. "I only think Light Yagami would try that."
A week later, Misa had lost all of her memories of the death note including her shinigami eyes and returned to her modelling life. Rem had returned to the shinigami realm as per the promise. Ryuk was still there and just watched as they sorted out everything so Light was transferred to a prison. He's been searched of all pieces from his death note and had lost everything. The Doctor had been talking to Light about why he did what he did and all he got was him babbling about being 'God'. Not long after, he announced that he was leaving.
"It's time for me to go now, L." The Doctor said.
"You'll never call me, Ryuzaki, will you?" L huffed.
The Doctor laughed. "No, sorry!"
He made his way into the TARDIS in which Amy and Rory were already in. "Doctor!" L blurted out.
The timelord turned around. "Yes?"
"If there's a time when I could do with your help, would you come back?" The great detective asked.
The Doctor looked at L in suprise. "You'd want my help?"
"Your TARDIS more than anything."
The Doctor chuckled. "I'll be back when it's time." With that, he waved goodbye and disappeared into the TARDIS, ready for another adventure.
Today, Sayu and her mother, Sachiko had been given permission to see Light for the last time before he was to be sent to prison for his crimes. L had managed to convict him easily without giving away the details of the killing method. Now his family had been permitted to see him after all this time even after L grudgingly allowed it.
Sayu held her mother's hand as they walked up to the bars and saw the boy sitting on ground, clutching his knees. He sensed their presence and stared at them with cold eyes. "Oh, look who's hear to see me." He spat.
The girl felt her mother start to shake and spoke for her. "Why did you do this, Light?" She asked him. "What happened to my brother who used to help me with my homework?"
He chuckled. "What happened to the world when they let a murderer out of prison once they served their sentence? This world is rotten and all I did was try to clean it and people treat me as a common criminal."
"That's because you're a murderer!" Sayu yelled, tears streaming down her face. "You killed Dad, how could you?!"
"It was easy." He smirked. "All I had to do was write down his name. He died so that the world could be cleaned." He stared Sayu straight in the eye. "It's honourable wouldn't you say."
Sachiko was weeping beside Sayu. "What happened to my boy? Why did you have to do this? Now I will lose another person in my life!"
"I'll go to prison but one day, I'll get out and continue the work." Light muttered with no emotion.
"I don't wanna' wait that long though, Light!" Ryuk emerged through the wall, flying in and hovered next to his sister who couldn't see him.
Light glared at the shinigami. "You'll get your fun, Ryuk. Be patient."
"I've had my fun now, Light. Didn't I tell you in the beginning? I'll be the one to write your name when you die. This is the deal that is made between the shinigami who brought the notebook into the human's world and a human who possesses the notebook. If you are cast into jail, I will never know when you'll die. It would be annoying to wait until your death. You are finished. You'll die here." Ryuk pulled out his death note and wrote down Light's name.
Light stretched his hand out to the shinigami and jumped up. "No don't-" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a shooting pain in the center of his chest and he collapsed to the ground. He held his shirt in his hand and his face contorted in pain as he writhed on his back. His eyes widened then as if he were the innocent teen again just as he took his last breath. His hands went limp on his chest and he stared blankly at the ceiling. In his chest, his heat beat no longer.
