HEY

So this is my first story in a while (considering I've only had one other don't elevate your expectations)

SETTING: Right after Death Note manga Chapter 107 (immediately when Light dies IN THE WAREHOUSE, not on some stairs like the anime puts it).

MUSIC: I thought it would be fun for some mood music to listen to while reading this first chapter. You know, to get the feel. Hopefully it doesn't depress you too much (its too late for me, every single time I re-watch Death Note IT ALWAYS GETS ME RIGHT IN THE FEELS).

So click this link, fool

Just kidding you're probably very smart.

REVIEW THIS PLEASE!

Oh and spoilers regarding the end of Death Note (but seriously who didn't see it coming)

Chapter 1: Parting

"Once a name is written down in the Death Note, you can't do anything about it. You more than anybody else here should know that."

"Goodbye, Light Yagami"

Light's heart raced, eyes filled with panic. "I'm going to die in a few more seconds!" he realized, thinking to himself for the last time.

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"ARRGHHH, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" he finally said out loud.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO!"

Suddenly, Light released his hold on Ryuk, his hands freezing, back arching. He collapsed to the ground.

"D-"

"Damn it"

Light Yagami moved no more.

Ryuk simply looked at Light for a good while, shaking his head at moments. Matsuda slumped to the ground. Mikami was now in handcuffs and stared as well, having seen the demise of his former god.

Near took both his Kira and X-Kira finger puppets and knocked them over.

"It's over," he stated nonchalantly.

Aizawa looked away from Light's now lifeless body, streaked with red from Matsuda's shots. Mogi numbly stared at Near's fallen puppets.

Ryuk rose to his full height. He looked over his shoulder and addressed Near in his gravelly voice, "Those Death Notes you have. Mikami's and the one held by the task force."

Near looked up, curious. "Yes?"

Ryuk turned towards the SPK and Task Force members.

"Their old Shinigami owners are dead. Burn them."

Near paused for a moment, then nodded sincerely.

Ryuk unfurled his wings and reached into his belt. "I've saved this one for a special occasion," he said, chuckling under his breath.

What is this? Is he going to kill us after all?, Near thought. Every SPK and Task Force member was now reaching tentatively for his or her gun.

Ryuk pulled out an apple.

"What? This is probably my last time in the human world. You see, apples in the Shinigami realm, they're not as… juicy."

Ryuk took four bites out of the sides of the apple, and then swallowed the core.

"I'm gonna miss those", he lamented.

Near stood, handing the Death Note to Gevanni.

"Farewell, Shinigami", he said, somewhat forcefully.

Ryuk chuckled for a few seconds, then turned so his back was facing the assembled victors.

"Farewell, L".

Near hinted a smile as he watched Ryuk fly up, phase through the roof, and vanish from sight.

Man, I suck at this

REVIEW THIS PLEASE

Mind you, this is not the end. This was just a chapter on the short side. Chapter 2 is coming. You may want to stock up on brain cells, cuz some will probably die out of the agony of reading my crappy writing.
