A/N: This is the last chapter. It's a little short, I know. A little bittersweet, too. Sorry if you want to write my name in the Death Note after reading it. xD

Ha, you think I own Death Note? Pft. I could never write such an amazing story.

Well, if it's for Misa's happiness, then I'm willing to sacrifice my life, Rem silently decided. But Light, to surpass even a shinigami! I underestimated you. Well, if I'm going to do this, then I might as well go out with a bang, and write down as many names as I can…

"Watari, I'd like you to try and procure a copy of Misa Amane's diary without her knowing about it," L said to the computer screen.

"Wait, this is crazy!" Aizawa exclaimed. "What would that possibly accomplish?"

"I'd just like to test a hunch that I have," L replied to Aizawa, glancing at him. When he turned back, the words 'ALL DATA DELETED' had appeared on the screen.

"I told Watari to set up his system so he could delete everything if something ever happened to him," L said. His voice was calm, but he was scared out of his mind. But no one knew Watari's real name… If Watari was killed, then does that mean that I'm next? I don't want to die!

"Everyone, the god…" L was cut off be a sharp pain in his chest that caused him to fall off of the chair he had been sitting on.

"Ryuzaki!" Light exclaimed, rushing over to the fallen detective. Only L could see the look of pure evil that engulfed his face as he hovered over his dying enemy.

Light, Ryuzaki thought as it became harder and harder to breath. I was right all along. You are Kira. And that author… She was on your side the entire time. I should have known…

"Noooo!" Light howled. Ha ha! Just as planned! Now no one can stop me from becoming the god of this world! Even Cannibal is going to have a hard time messing up my plans, now that L is dead. "We're all going to die!"

"Light, calm down…" Soichiro said, trying to comfort his son. Well, I suppose it's only a natural reaction…

"How can I possibly calm down?" Light asked, panting. "Whoever did this… If they can kill Watari and L, then…"

"But we're still alive!" Mastuda pointed out, a bit too enthusiastically.

It's odd, Light mused. He was lying on his bed, reading fanfics about Kira. Now that L was dead, he had plenty of time for leisure. I felt no remorse when I killed L. Yet, that writer is still out there somewhere, able to control my emotions. So why did she let me kill the person that she wanted me to love?

The answer came within seconds. A final e-mail from the infamous fanfiction writer had popped up on the screen.

Light,
I told you that I was on your side. Do you believe me now? Not that it matters anymore. I forfeit the ownership of Death Note. Tsugumi Ohba, I trust that you know what to do from here. It's been a long, fun ride, but it's time to let someone else take the wheel. I hope you always remember me, Light. I will always remember you.

Wait… Light thought for a moment. Does that mean…?

Everything that happened… Cannibal was behind it all. She wanted me to kill L this entire time!

So, this is the end of her fanfic? Oddly, Light felt a bit saddened by the thought. It's not as if I liked her messing with me and L. I hated it. But at the same time, she did help me kill L. Maybe she wasn't such a bad person, after all. She had her faults, yes. But in the end, I must say that her ends justified her means…

She was trying to create her own world and control it. Trying to play God…

She really wasn't all that different than me, Light suddenly realized.

At that moment, he also realized that he would, indeed, miss the fanfiction writer who had so desperately tried to gain his respect. True, there had been moments when he had wanted to kill her, but in the end… Justice prevailed.

But what was justice, anyway? Justice was not something that a human could decide. Only a god could decide who was just and who was not. Light smiled. He had been chosen by a god. Now he was a god.

Yes, Light had finally achieved what he had always wanted. He was now the god of this world. And as long as he was in power, Light's justice would prevail.
