…Shi to Ai no Yakusoku…

Chapter 4: Shi no Yakusoku

Time has passed quickly. The days of Amane Misa ended…

From the Shinigami Realm, Ryuku watches Light dressing up. His interest on Light didn't end. It seems that what he said about how interesting humans are specifically the human named Yagami Light.

Ryuku keeps his eyes close look at Light. He didn't let his eyes stay off Light eve Light is just simply walking or even waiting. Ryuku enjoys every verb of Light. The interesting part starts here…

"You may kiss the bride."

A woman in white wedding dress stands beside Light. The days of Amane Misa ended as Yagami Misa's life begins.

Light kisses Misa. Cheers from Light's family and cheers from the police department rise.

Ryuku, from the Shinigami Realm, claps his hands for the celebration of the newly wedded couple. "He, he"

Misa's cheeks are red. "Misa is so happy! It's like I'm in a dream world!"

"But it's not a dream world. It's reality, Misa." Said Light.

Time passes quickly again. They moved to a nice house; Light had enough money to buy a new house and lot because he had high pay at the police department. They have two children, Toshiro and Ayumi. The new Yagami family had a peaceful life.

Both Yagami Toshiro and Ayumi graduates from Toudou. Toshiro follows his father's steps and become a member of the police department. Ayumi become a great mangaka and creates great mangas.

Misa's lifespan in about to run out… few days before she dies, she was sent to the hospital for an illness. Light, Toshiro and Ayumi stayed beside Misa.

Misa wakes up one night. She looks at Light then to her son and daughter. "Light… Toshiro… Ayumi…" Misa breathes heavily from the oxygen mask. "I remember… I traded my life for Light's use… I have no regrets…"

"Okasan (mother)! What are you talking about?! Please don't die…" Ayumi's voice faded as her tears fall.

Light had this uneasiness. Like someone is looking behind him. A piece of paper touches his skin. For a second, his body jolts. All his memories of KIRA returned.

Light whispers at Misa, "Misa… Ryuku will write my name in the Death Note…"

Light and Misa looks behind and they saw Ryuku. Ryuku had his Death Note in his hand. He waves at the two to bid good-bye.

Light faces his son and daughter, "Toshiro… Ayumi… do your best." Said Light with a loneliness expression.

"What are you talking about, Tousan (father)?" asked his son. Toshiro is in complete confusion.

"Toshiro-niichan is right… Why are our parents saying such things?" cried Ayumi.

In 9 seconds… 8… 7… 6… 5…4 …3…2…

Both Light and Misa speak, "Because it's a promise…"

The two's eyes widened; the siblings couldn't understand what their parents said.

…1…

Light's left hand grips Misa's left hand tightly. His heart starts to feel like it's exploding. Misa couldn't breathe. She maintains her grip as well to Light. Light's right hand grabs the bed sheets of Misa's bed then he releases it to grabs his polo. Misa lays her right hand on top of her chest heavily and constantly moving her head in all directions.

Both Toshiro and Ayumi panic to see their parents are suffering; Ayumi's eyes sheds so much tears like waterfalls.

Light collapses on Misa's bed and Misa stops breathing.

Toshiro and Ayumi shout, "Tousan!" "Okasan!"

"Ku, ku, ku!" laughs Ryuku. "This is the end of their life… Such interesting humans, these two."

The room door opens. Four police officers enter and to their surprise, Yagami Light and Misa are dead.

Mogi's cell phone rings. He picks up the phone "This is Mogi… Near, Yagami Light and Misa are dead."

In the other end of the line, "So it was already time for them. It must be that Shinigami…" said Near.

Matsuda comforts Ayumi while Ide and Aizawa tries to calm down the wild Toshiro.

Toshiro calms down. Then he rises again to speak, "Tousan, I will do my best to become L!" the promise he made to his father Light.

THE END

This is my ideal Death Note ending. Eh? Earlier, I said I'm a Light fan but I want Light to die... with Misa. So this is the end... Oh, the translation of the chapter title is "Promise of Death". Arigatou Gozaimas for reading!
