Death Note: Afterlives
Chapter 3
AN/ Well here is my third chapter of Death Note: Afterlives. It is the final 'exposition' chapter
Immediately after the last chapter
"Wha?" L started.
"I said that there is more to Limbo than you think." replied Gelus
"And how come you never mentioned any of this to ME?" Light asked indignantly, "Am I not deserving of this knowledge?"
"Chill out Light, I only wanted to say this once, so as to save time," Gelus replied.
"Oh, my bad"
"Look," L interrupted, "We don't have time for this. We need to dedicate all of our energy to this plan to get us all back alive."
"Okay, okay" they responded in unison.
"Anyway, as I was saying, in Limbo, if you apply sufficient will you can actually manipulate the place, or at least a portion of it to your will. Of course, the only exception is weapons, for the obvious reason"
EARTH
The shinigami Ryuk was following around the latest human to acquire his second Death Note, and wondering why all of them except for Light were completely incompetent. This one was fairly smart, but still hadn't figured out a quarter of the rules of it, and he had been in possession of it for a good eight months and that is in the loosest term of the word 'good'. In short he was miserable, until Light had contacted him with the most interesting thing since Kira. Escape from Limbo, using this human as a pawn.
Location… somewhere else
"This is not good," echoed a mysterious voice.
"I think that is obvious, brother," the voice's twin replied.
"I was merely thinking out loud. Not being stupid and merely stating something we already knew without a purpose. Of course, thinking about how we can stop it as well, so we don't re-expose the world to the one known as Kira."
"Quite appropriate, seeing as that very thing is our primary objective at this moment. Personally I was wondering if it would be acceptable to let Ryuzaki out though."
"No our boss told us to not let anyone out, and that includes… wait who was that?"
"Ugh. You are an idiot. The one called Ryuzaki, alternatively known as L Lawliet."
"Oh, him. That would normally be advisable, I shall talk it over with the boss."
"Why would he listen, we are just retired shinigami, relegated to watching over the insignificant realm of Limbo," the guardian replied, then muttered, so low that only she could hear, "Though, it would be nice to get out and about again for a little while…"
With L and Light
"So, have you got any ideas?"
"Nope, what about you Mr. 'world's 3 greatest detectives'"
"Only what I already did."
"Hmm."
"Yep" the two were out of ideas, and didn't want to admit it. They walked over to Gelus' house hoping he would have come up with something.
AN/ yep sorry about the long distance between chapters, and I apologize for it being as short as it is. I just wasn't able to get to the computer that this chapter was saved on. The work will return to the promised 2 per month pace and I might be able to make up the two missed chapters. To everyone who said Misa wasn't that annoying I apologize and remind you that this is a fanfic and since I am the author I can change or ignore anything I want to, though I will try to stay true to the original characterization as possible. Until the next chappy I wish you all a good day.
