Authoress Note: I'd like to thank everyone who has read The Life Script and I do hope you enjoyed reading the story. Yes guys, we're at that final chapter. We're at the climax of the story and I'm sad to say that this is the end. It's been great writing this out. You know, when I first started this story it started out as an idea, then when I posted it up and saw how many people took interest into the idea, I decided to turn it into a fanfiction. I cannot imagine a better fanfiction than this. I really do have to thank each and every one of my reviewers every time because it's not always just the author or authoress who makes the story, it all revolves around the reviewers as well. It all depends on what the reviewers want to see in a story though. I'm truly grateful and this is probably the only fanfiction I've written where I can say that I don't feel disappointed in it. I honestly and glad to have written this fanfiction with the idea of the Life Script because if you start something with an idea, it's like a tiny seed and it takes time and effort to grow but you realize that once it all pays off you feel so sad because it's all grown up.
Gee guys, I do thank you so much. It's really been an honor writing this for you guys and your entertainment. Thank you so much for sticking with the story through and through. You were there with the speedy reviews to the speedy chapter, you even waiting patiently for the later chapters that were to come…I…I do mean it when I say, thank you. You're probably the best bunch of reviewers on this site and I appreciate all your patience, reviews, and enjoyment of the story. I'm sure you reviewers all know who you are so once again, thanks.

"Mr. Yagami," Came a voice that Light had never heard before, until Keegan stepped out from behind a stack of warehouse boxes. "Save your words." She said coldly.
"What is this?!" Light snapped. "Just who are you supposed to be?"
Keegan's gaze darkened and she grit her teeth before grinning at him cunningly. "You're worst nightmare."
Just what was Near playing at? Had Near planned something else? Why wasn't Kuro taunting him anymore unless...
Something snapped in Light at that moment when this suspicious young woman answered him. It seemed so out of place that this person would dare speak down to him like…
Then he knew. It didn't take a genius to figure it out when he saw the silvery moon-shaped medallion with the black cat.
"You…" He grit his teeth.
'Oh, busted.' Keegan thought to herself. Before anything else could be said she bolted as a distraction to keep him from hurting anyone in the room. All she could think about now was keeping the very people in this place safe. "COME GET ME KIRA!" She shouted, taunting him.
"COME FACE ME LIKE THE COWARD YOU ARE!"
Light immediately took off after her and the chase was on. "KUUUUUROOOOOO!"
--
So this was Kuro? An unknown American girl? She was probably about the same age as Misa, if not a little older. That didn't matter though, the fact was that she had tormented him and prevented his perfect world from being created. Now it was her time to pay. Light pursued her like a wild animal after prey.
Kuro? This girl? A young woman. Aizawa and Matsuda were at a loss of words.
Only when she egged Light on to come after her, did Matsuda become more alert. "We should help her! Don't let him go after her!"
"Wait! She's leading him on, it's a front. The chase." Aizawa held Matsuda back. "Isn't it Near?"
"Correct, she's declared herself bait in order to get more of a confession out of Mr. Yagami." Near informed, turning his head in the direction of the chase.
"The box has been opened." Gevanni stated.
"The cat is running from Pandora's broom." Near chuckled.
--
The adrenaline pumped through his veins wildly as he watched his prey stumble and run for her life. This was the great and powerful Kuro? This woman had dared to mock him and make a fool out of Kira's New World? Now when Light had originally told Kuro that he was going to pay, he had never imagined that Kuro, 'he', was a she. It was going to turn ugly, it didn't matter that everyone now knew he was Kira. Light was going to make this girl pay for everything she pad put him through. He could see it now, being a historic figure in the world. All the while, this girl would only be known as the unnamed contender that had failed in her efforts to stop him.
He kept a close eye on her movements until he saw his precise moment to jump at her, and he grabbed her by the back of her knees. "RAAGH!"
--
Being chased through a warehouse was terrifying. At this moment she didn't know whether to be more afraid of the thought of Joe chasing her down if he was not in jail or this. Keegan felt her nerves standing on end as her feet splashed through the puddles. She could hear the footfalls behind her advancing quickly. Light was in hot pursuit while she ran as fast as her legs would carry and suddenly she was brought down to the ground.
Light had dove forward and grabbed her by the legs, tackling her to the floor.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Light cried, turning her over to look for the fear in her eyes.
His response was being punched in the face by Keegan. She wasn't going to go down without a brutal fight.
Light had temporarily released her because she had hit him in the jaw and it felt like she had hit it out of place.
Keegan was running again before Light got right back up and went in pursuit again. This time he ambushed her from the front by hiding behind another set of warehouse boxes and tackled her to the floor.
"AGH!"
"You're going to pay for everything you've done to me..." Light hissed at her, grabbing her by the collar of her shirt.
--
'No.' Matsuda thought as he watched the chase unfold. "Light, stop!"
'He'll kill her!' Aizawa screamed in his head, getting ready to draw his gun.
The Task Force tried to move in to stop Light. Only when they arrived on the scene, Keegan and Light were ensuing in a fistfight to what could have been the death. Her nose was bloody and Light had a bruised jaw. She was biting, kicking, and screaming at him. Light in turn was trying to pry Keegan into a headlock, almost choking her.
"YOU BITCH!" He screamed.
Keegan kicked him in the crotch without warning, and got up again to stumble away from him. Her breathing was heavy and she could felt aches and pain in her body.
Light got up again and he ran at her, this time Keegan met him at full force and locked her arm around his neck and brought him to the ground and started hitting him in the face once more.
--
"Light!" Aizawa snarled, gettingr eady to step in.
"Stop." Near ordered, "This is their battle. Not ours. Good versus Evil. Yin versus Yang, Kira versus Kuro."
"But Light could kill her at anytime!" Matsuda exclaimed. "I can't sit by and watch!"
"We'll have to wait and see. He can't get at any piece of the notebook he may have right now. He wants to kill her with his bare hands. He knows she's played games with him long enough."
--
Light pulled Keegan into a headlock, trying to suffocate her.
Keegan thrashed violently, biting Light's arm.
"GAH!" He exclaimed and punched her in the stomach, temporarily decommissioning Keegan for several seconds before he wrenched her up by the collar of her shirt. "YOU!!! You who would dare to mock me and attempt to stop my power! I AM GOD! I AM GOD! You are nothing compared to me! What gives you the right to think you can put the world back the way it was when I had it so perfect?!"
Keegan spit in his face. "Nothing is perfect."
He slapped her after she spit at him, and wiped his face.
"Some foolish little American GIRL who calls herself the Giver of Life! Can you save yourself now!? Can you save your life?! Well, it won't matter. It doesn't prevent me from killing you with my bare hands if I can't kill you with the Death Note."
Keegan gripped her hand suddenly onto his wrist. "…You would damn this world if I continued to let you be Kira. It doesn't matter how many criminals you kill, how many allies you kill that know you are Kira, or how many people who you hate because they do bad things. The world cannot be perfect Mr. Yagami. God wouldn't have made it that way. I may not have much faith in him or any ethereal entity out there…but I know that God wouldn't want the world in order…because he didn't make human beings without free will. I just did as he made me as. With free will…the right to choose. And I choose to right your wrongs and save people from you. You. Are. Not. God."
"YOU RUINED ME!" He screamed.
"You're a morally disturbed man!" She croaked.
"A spoiled brat who was raised in a high-roller society where daddy gave you everything. You jumped at the chance as soon as you figured out what a Death Note could do. You shot through it like you were a damn cheetah, while I took my time and slithered in like a snake. Sinking my fangs slowly into your very sanity until the poison finally got to you. Now, you are exposed for whom you really are: a voracious parasite feeding off the fear of society of those who 'fear' Kira. KIRA whom is nothing more than a crazy man that uses a notebook to kill people. I've known who you were all along."
"How so?" Light wrenched her close and hissed at her. "You couldn't have. Unless Near told you and you've known him all along too."
Keegan's lip was bleeding, her body quivering before she smiled softly. "Agent N didn't tell me. I'll never tell you who told me…because…I love him."
"Him?" Near's brow cocked. "Who do you mean, Miss Phelps?" He was cloaking the fact that Keegan was talking about Mr. Shinigami. She was protecting him too probably.
"I'll never tell. You won't make me." Keegan chuckled.
"Well, it must be somebody you love very deeply. I can't wait to see the misery they'll suffer when they watch you die." Light pulled out his handgun and pointed it at her. "This is the end Miss Kuro. I can assure you, you won't get out of here alice. Though I may go to prison, you can never right my wrongs again and I'll go down as a legend, while you'll just go down as 'the one who tried to stop Kira'. Have you any last words?"
--
When Ryuk saw Keegan reveal herself to Light he watched her call Kira out. "Atta Girl."
'Oh she looks so great, so defiant standing there to face Death once again, this time to save the world.' She was just so full of life, so full of a passion that screamed righteousness all over. "Damn. I think now I know why I love you so much." He grumbled to himself before he heard
Until...Light took off after her. She was scared, he could see it in her eyes as she ran, yet she was risking her life to stop Light. She really was some human. He felt all right until Light pointed his gun at her face.
Ryuk gnashed his teeth in vengeance as he watched the scene unfold from outside before he clenched the handles of his motorcycle in a death grip, rain soaking his mortal facade and he revved the engine violently several times as a signal to Keegan. "I'm coming."
--
An engine revved from outside somewhere and suddenly a black blur burst through the red door of the warehouse to come zooming in on the bike. The other members of the SPK and Task Force has to step back as the bike spun around in a circle leaving a donut-like skid mark in the middle of the floor before the rider turned his attention to Light holding Keegan in her place as she continued to struggle.
"He's here…" She whispered.
Light jerked his head around to take a look at this mysterious stranger garbed in dark wear on the expensive looking motorcycle.
The engine revved and the bike slowly inched murderously towards Light.
"Ryuk!" Keegan shouted, stumbling to her feet. "Don't do it!"
"What? …Ryuk?!" Somewhere in his gut, Light just got that feeling something was wrong. But could anyone else see that the bike was empty or…wait. They were all staring at the bike so…was that really Ryuk? It couldn't have been…
"WHO IS THAT?!" Aizawa shouted, Gevanni had a tight hold on the mortified Mikami who had tried to run towards Light to help aid him in Keegan's demise.
"Ah, Mr. Shinigami, He was waiting…" Near murmured in interest, obviously being able to see Ryuk's true form because he was hiding Mikami's Death Note. "He's been protecting Miss Phelps' identity. That's why Light could never figure out who she was. Mr. Shinigami refused to tell him."
The engine revved and the bike soared forwards before it skidded to a halt and Ryuk leapt off the bike back in his shinigami form to snag Light by the throat. The people whom had seen his human form, they couldn't see him now because he had disappeared and was only visible to those who could see him. To everyone else, Light was floating in midair by his throat.
"Hey! Wh-Where'd he go?" Matsuda said with great confusion.
"It's the shinigami. He's reverted back to his original state in order to get at Light Yagami." Near explained.
Ryuk's right hand was in a wrought iron grip on Light's throat. His gaze murderous and his teeth gnashing hungrily with vengeance. "Remember when I told you…I wasn't on your side, Light? Well, it didn't mean that I wasn't on somebody else's. You should have known that all along."
Light couldn't breathe right; Ryuk was trying to kill him. "Ryuk…" He coughed out. "It doesn't matter…you write my name in the notebook, and you'll die too. For saving her life when her time's run out."
"…That's not what her lifespan says." Ryuk grinned; quite pleased if one might add when he looked over at Keegan.
She was staring at Ryuk from the floor before she stumbled to her feet. "Ryuk…"
"Save it, I've been waiting to get my hands on Light for some time Keegan. He's gonna pay for what he did to you 10 fold."
Light felt his heart stop beating momentarily. From Ryuk's tone, he meant business. Ryuk wasn't just playing games anymore, he was rightly defending Miss Phelps, Kuro, as her personal bodyguard-No. As if she meant something to him.
"…Why? What does she mean to you Ryuk? How could you possibly sink to Rem's level? You yourself said it was stupid for shinigamis to love."
"Hard to say, Keegan's smart. I respect her. She takes care of me, she's been feeding me." The shinigami grinned. He'd never admit to Light though that he did in fact love Keegan in a sense Light would never understand. "Then again…Keegan's not you. So it's hard not to have feelings for her."
"Miss Phelps," Near jumped in at this point. "As your identity as Kuro, how long have you known Mr. Shinigami here?"
She was still in shock after Light had dropped her. Keegan's hand was cupped over her mouth; a bit amazed that Ryuk would even have come to her rescue so vigorously, willing to kill Light (of course Ryuk had said he'd kill Light for her before, but she never thought he would actually do it like this). "Ah…since I first got the Life Script, The Life Giving Notebook. He dropped it by accident." She explained.
"That's what he said about the Death Note!" Light snarled.
"Yeah…but the Life Script was a real accident this time." Ryuk said with a grin before he turned his attention to Keegan. "Hey," he called towards her. "You all right?"
Keegan was wiping blood from her mouth. "Huh? Oh! Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."
He rattled Light before finally dropping him. "Unlike Light, I got a good deal while sticking around this American girl. When I said she took care of me, she sated my apple cravings when Light wouldn't. I figured it was only fair to turn on the hand that used to feed me and go to a new one instead. In the end though, I found somebody that actually likes having me around for instance."
"It was a paid deal then." Near chuckled. "Clever, Miss Phelps."
"Thank you." Keegan bowed politely, trying to get herself together while she glared at Light. "I cannot say the same for Mr. Yagami. He's man that should have never been born."
Light got to his feet quickly when he regained his breath. "Stupid girl, stupid, stupid girl!" He snarled. "You made me expose myself!"
"You're just repeating things you've all ready said now." Keegan said angrily. "Enough. You've lost."
"You've lost just as much as I have. You've been obstructing justice of the SPK."
"Actually, Miss Phelps hasn't been in our way. She helped lead us to you in a sense. We had no deal or negotiations with her; we only met three times and that was it. We've known she was Kuro all along. Of course, respecting her privacy we decided not to expose her identity and decided it best just to let her lure you out of hiding. Hence she used herself as bait to have you to come here willingly."
"I took a dangerous challenge Mr. Yagami. You and the Task Force wanted to meet me in person so I could tell you that I knew who Kira was. Before arriving here, I contacted them and let them know everything. I merely asked them to help aid in catching you. Now that you're out in the open…it's over." Keegan hissed, "You lose Mister Yagami." Ryuk was standing beside Keegan now as she glowered at Light.
Light watched them, until he found the Life Script Keegan's hands. "You're good to go?" Ryuk asked her.
"Yes." she answered. "Thank you for coming for me." She smiled at him gratefully.
"We've known Light Yagami was Kira for some time now. It just took a lot of hard and dedicated work to catch him. We knew from the beginning, and with Mello's help. It didn't take us long to figure out all roads led to you Light Yagami, Kira…It was Mikami's carelessness that was your down fall also." Near informed, pulling out the Death Note from within his shirt. "We replaced Mikami's Death Note with a fake one, carefully copying down his handwriting and it was all accomplished in one night. It was a joint effort."
"…Forgive me, God." Mikami bowed his head. "I did everything you asked me to."
"I do not know this crazy man…" Light murmured.
At that point Mikami looked horribly shaken at the thought of his God disowning him once more.
"Why don't you just admit it Mr. Yagami? You're Kira. Kira. Kira. Kira." Keegan snapped. "You messed up, badly. It's over. Give it up, you can't run anywhere anymore, you're surrounding and I'm pretty sure Ryuk wouldn't mind killing you if he could!"
"I'll do it, if she asks me too. Either way Light, you've got no where to run." Ryuk growled.
Keegan opened the Life Script. "Everything has to die at some point in Life. Every person, every man, every woman, and every living thing: shinigamis included. This book does not grant immortality Mr. Yagami. It restores Life, giving longer life spans than what originally had been planned for them. I brought those criminals back to life to lure you out. Some of those criminals didn't even deserve to die." Keegan would have to admit, in some cases she did feel certain criminals needed to be expelled from the world, but that wasn't up to her.
"Misdemeanors?" She asked, pointing at the notebook on the floor. "Drug dealers? Manslaughter cases? Even reformed criminals?" She scoffed. "You really are crazy." Keegan shook her head at him. "If you have any sense left in your head…you will hand yourself over. You know you've lost."
There was an eerie silence as Light had his back turned to them before he turned around to have his gaze settle on Keegan only. "So have you…"
Her brow quirked and before she knew it, there was an unbearable pain in her side and her hand was covered in blood. Her gaze fell towards the sight of his handgun giving off smoke. At the sight of her blood though, Keegan felt faint and her vision went black. Ryuk caught her before she hit the floor and he snarled.
"KEEGAN! KEEGAN!" he shook her, trying to get her to wake up before anything other type of harm could befall her.
The Life Script was clenched tightly in her hand, in case Light tried to steal it in his mad tirade. There was excruciating pain for several moments before the Life Script glowed brightly.
He pulled the Life Script out of her other hand to find the blood being absorbed into the Life Script while she lay bleeding. Miss Lidner moved quickly to try to stem the flow of the wound but found it pointless when the Life Script was literally putting Keegan's blood back into her body.
"How can it be?" Miss Lidner whispered watching as the notebook healed Keegan. Ryuk opened the notebook to find the last rule:
Rule # 20: All humans eventually die, however; should the mortal user and the shinigami in possession of the Life Script share more in the binding contract, the mortal user will die when the shinigami dies.
Keegan could hear muffled noises, while there was the sound of Light proclaiming why he did it, how he did it, and his pride in the fact that he was Kira and that Kuro was going to die.
Keegan could felt the vibrations of gunshots and Light screaming intelligibly at Matsuda because Matsuda had fired. There was more commotion before Light took off and Mikami's screams soon came afterwards as blood covered the floor.
Her eyes fluttered open as she lay there staring up at Ryuk. "…Hi." She said hoarsely.
It was quite a sight to see before the open notebook was closed as Ryuk read over the last rule. "Heh. Stupid notebook came to your rescue." He showed Rule # 20 to her. Keegan looked at it before she weakly sat up. "Ugh. Where's the bullet?" She asked, glancing over at Mikami laying on the floor, dead now.
Gevanni stepped over Mikami's body and held the the bulled out towards her. "It expelled it from your body."
Ryuk was once again "Roy" and the rest of the SPK could see him.
"He's a shinigami, we can only see him as this because of his power." Near explained. "As his shinigami self however only those who have touched the Death Note can see him that way, I presume the same way with the Life Script too?" He asked Keegan.
She nodded. "Yeah, if you don't mind. I'm going to keep the Life Script, Agent N. I'd appreciate it if you didn't take it from me. It's grown quite attached to my emotions." She said looking down at the glowing notebook with a small smile.
"As long as you continue to keep your identity under wraps, Miss Phelps. You're free to use it as you wish." Near advised.
"Thanks." Ryuk pulled Keegan to her feet. "Your secret is safe with us." Aizawa approached her. "Miss Phelps is it?" He asked.
"Yes." Keegan answered, turning towards him. "Keegan Phelps."
"Agent Aizawa of the Task Force. It's nice to finally meet you, Kuro." He said with a smile.
Keegan grinned. "Glad to have been of service."
"Um..." Matsuda nervously stood behind Aizawa before he came to shake her hand as well. "A-Agent Matsuda. Thank you, so much for all of your work. We...we can't thank you enough."
"Ooh. Keegan, I think Matsuda likes you." Ryuk chuckled.
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend." She said sincerely, putting an arm around Ryuk before the shinigami turned his back to her and went to follow Light. "Hey, take this thing outside. I got one more thing to do." He said handing his bike helmet to her, taking out his Death Note.
"Wait! Where are you going? Don't you do that Ryuk! You'll-"
"Hey. You're life's not in any danger. So it won't affect me." Ryuk assured. "I'll be right back." He promised.
--
The run was agonizingly painful. Light was bleeding from almost everywhere and he started to feel the strain of his wounds. Damn Matsuda, he had to go crazy and proclaim that Souchiro Yagami's efforts were in vain. He spat blood up and continued to stumble along, not really having anywhere else to go until he suddenly met face to face with Ryuk in his human form.
"…Gehh…Ryuk…" He groaned. "Wh-What do you want? Come to get me back this time?"
Ryuk answered by holding up his Death Note. "You got sloppy Light."
"You sunk to a level you said you'd never go to." Light mocked him. "You'll die just like Rem some day Ryuk."
"Actually…I'm going to live a very long life Light." Ryuk said smugly. "Since you can't hurt Keegan anymore…I won't die any time soon. You better keep running if you don't want them to catch you." He said, giving wise council to Light before things got ugly and Matsuda caught up to shoot at him again. "I suggest you keep running unless you want Matsuda to pump you full of lead when he finds you."
There wasn't much else Light could say to him except run away, of course Ryuk knew he wouldn't get too far. "It's time." He said. Turning back into his shinigami form and flew up to the little water tower on top of the warehouse. Witht he sun setting, Ryuk opened his Death Note.
"Well Light…it's been fun. I think I had more fun with Keegan though. It's a shame though because…Keegan wasn't the one being hunted, you were." He took out his trusty pen and wrote down Light's name.
--
His breath was getting heavier to hold while he was making his escape. The whole time, he couldn't help but wonder how an unknown young woman had affected Ryuk the way she had and was able to easily defeat him with the so-called 'Life Script'.
It didn't take long for him to collapse on a staircase in the other part of the building and lay down just to catch his breath. 'Maybe…maybe if I just lie down. I'll get back up in two minutes. They won't catch me…maybe if I just…'
Then all went black.
--
"Well, now that it's all over, I can get back to more important things." Ryuk said with a grin.
--
She waited for what seemed like forever before Ryuk had returned, Keegan literally threw herself at him. She couldn't believe that he was still alive after what he probably did. "You're okay! You're alive! You're not kapoot!" She exclaimed, suddenly kissing him without warning and squeezing him into a tight hug. "Oh my god…"
"You know, you've really gotta cut this habit out of hugging me so tightly, it's kind of awkward and annoying at the same time." Though he had to admit having Keegan kiss him again wasn't expected and thoroughly enjoyable.
"Sorry." Keegan apologized.
"Where will you go from here?" Miss Lidner asked her while Ryuk got on the bike.
"Home. Probably. Maybe we'll go look for that apple orchard I promised to take him to." Keegan laughed softly. "Back in America."
"Aren't you worried about when you get old and you can't die?" Near asked her, referring to the Life Script.
Keegan pulled the notebook out from the confines of her jacket. "…I'll manage." She smiled. "That's how destiny works. She likes to weave many webs of mystery." She hopped on the bike in front of Ryuk.
"Thank you, for your help, Miss Kuro." Near said with a very admirable smile at her.
Keegan saluted him. "No. Thank you, for keeping my identity under wraps and not exposing me to the public. I appreciate your respect of my privacy."
"And you, Mr. Shinigami?" Near asked as Ryuk revved the engine of his bike up.
"Oh, me? Yeah. There's not much else to do. I guess I'll just have to deal with Keegan for the rest of my existence. There's not really much else to do. I had my fun watching Light from afar. In time though it all really felt like I was getting back at him. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted."
Keegan elbowed him in the gut. "Hey..."
"We'll keep in touch." She assured to Agent N. "Oh…by the way." She said suddenly looking back over at Near with a smile. "You guys were never really 'legit' cops in the police on Joe's case were you?"
"No." Gevanni chuckled.
"So, Agent N…what's your real name?" Keegan asked him.
"I'm sorry Miss Phelps, that has to remain confidential." Near told her. "However you may refer to me as: Near." He informed.
"Near it is."
"Hey…" Ryuk hissed, putting his arms around Keegan in a protective hug. "Mitts off my girl…" He growled.
They looked at him funny and she shook her head. "Sorry guys, we've got to go. He's getting overprotective." Keegan giggled. "I'll be seeing you guys around, maybe."
"As you said: 'We'll keep in touch'. Miss Phelps." Near told her.
That said, Keegan and Ryuk zoomed off on the bike into the sunset.
--
"Hey!" She exclaimed over the revving of the motor at a stoplight.
"Hm?" Ryuk said.
"I've got an idea." She told him. "I know that he probably never expected to die so soon…but…I think I'd like to add salt to his wounds." Keegan explained.
"You mean Light? Why? What are you going to do?" Ryuk asked as Keegan took out The Life Script with a pencil. "Keegan…"
"Tell me Ryuk, was it really his time or no?" Keegan asked.
"Well..uh…Not really." Ryuk admitted. "Keegan you're not…you're not gonna forgive him for everything he's done. Are you? I mean, that would be just stupid after all the trouble I just went through-"
"Ohhh…Ryuk. I can always forgive people, but let's just say Mr. Yagami is in for a rude awakening." She grinned.
"What are you babbling on about Keegan? I'm not understanding what you mean." He said, speeding up in traffic.
"Death seems like an easy way out for some criminals, so Light dying was a little too easy for him to get out of being arrested and Mr. Mikami committed suicide out of cowardice. So they need to learn their lesson."
"Why bring them back?"
"It'll be one mre thing to do with the Life Script just to mock Mr. Yagami. Mr. Yagami and Mr. Mikami shall never know the bliss of death in their eyes until it is truly their time." Keegan said, her pencil scratching onto the black pages of the Life Script.
Light Yagami
Mikami Teru
The names glowed on the Life Script and Keegan slapped the notebook closed with a smug grin. "It is finished."
--
"Ooh. He's dead all right. All those gunshots." Aizawa said while the EMTs allowed the Task Force and SPK members to stare at Light's body with shame. "Wish we could have sent him to jail though…" Aizawa growled. "Damn it."
"Sorry…" Matsuda sniffled. "I lost it."
"No, Matsuda. It's all right." Aizawa assured. "Maybe it was for the best."
"What about Mikami?" Matsuda winced as they took Mikami's covered body into the other ambulance.
"Wish Mikami hadn't killed himself at the last second. At least we could have gotten him." There was silence between the party members before suddenly they heard one of the paramedics exclaim something.
"I'VE GOT PULSES!"
"What?" Aizawa whispered.
"…Miss Phelps." Near said suddenly in realization of what had happened, quickly turning his head to watch as Mikami was suddenly thrashing on the stretcher in the other vehicle.
--
Light's eyes slowly opened and he suddenly found everyone staring at him. "Ugh...Huh?
"Well, Well Mr. Yagami." Near said suddenly from the doorway of the ambulance when Light caught Near's gaze. "I guess Miss Kuro had a heart to forgive you. Nevertheless…"
"No…" Light whispered in horror.
"You're under arrest." Gevanni said officially announcing the end of Kira's reign of terror. Handcuffs were slapped on Light's hands
"AAAHHHH!!!!" Mikami screamed from the other vehicle. "WHY AM I STILL ALIVE?!"
"KUROOOOOO!!!!" Light snarled suddenly from his position on the stretcher. "NOOOOO!!!"
--
As Keegan and Ryuk zoomed off onto a highway, Ryuk couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, ho. Keegan you're a genius and I love ya!" He cackled.
"Yeah, yeah. I know I am." Keegan chuckled smugly to herself. "I'm actually proud to say it this time."
The black Nightrod cut off a few cars on the road, horns honking at them, and all that could be heard was Ryuk laughing and Keegan yelling.
"RYUK STOP THAT!"
"…It's all for you."
"Yeah, yeah."

Authoress Note: The end, stay-tuned folks. And when I mean stay tuned I do mean: YES. There's an Epilogue coming up. Muahahah!
