Author's Note: Right, it seems like the last chapter was a little confusing. Let's answer a certain review:

maybethedreamisdreamingus: This is a good fic, although, I fear perhaps this chapter is not quite at the standard of its predescessors, it feels a tad rushed, and the last line was a little unclear, am I right in thinking Ryuk just died? That sort of came out of nowhere... But I figure you were just in a hurry to get your ideas out, and I can see why, they're brilliant ones. All in all, this is a really interesting fic.

Yeah, you're right in thinking that it was rushed. I was writing it as fast as I could in order to make up for the fact that I hadn't released it the day before. Don't worry, Ryuuk didn't die. It was a different shinigami. That last line of the previous chapter will be explained over the next few chapters(hopefully).

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note although I do own Sky. To see what he looks like ask me and I'll give you the URL.

Takada had finally gotten her Death Note. Kira had left her to kill criminals while he was off. Luckily she still hadn't realised that he was the one who had killed her in the first place. Unlike Nate, he didn't bother getting more allies. He didn't need all that. He had all that he needed to kill a human and he was going to get what he needed to kill a shinigami. Kira had set off on the day Nate was reborn. The others laughed. "Where are you going? It all looks the same in this world." They all said. Kira ignored them. "How can anyone be so pathetic?"

Kira turned. "Hello Kira." Said Mikami. Kira smiled. "Mikami, it's been a while."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm simply going to explore the place."

"I'm not an idiot."

"I know."

"L is back."

"In the shinigami world, I know."

"No. He's back in the human world."

"I already killed him."

Mikami smiled. "Another one has been chosen. One that will follow Kira."

Kira raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"How do you plan on talking to him?"

"I don't care about him. I have more important things to do."

"Near?"

"Exactly."

"So you're off to find a way to kill shinigami."

"What do you want?"
"I'm coming with you."

"Fair enough. Why?"

"I must serve you."

"Very well, come let's go."

"Who will be killing the criminals?"

"Takada."

"Greetings to the world. This is L. Kira is truly god. Yes, even L has submitted to his ways. I ask of the world to simply follow Kira and his ideals. There will be no more investigations into the Kira case. As L I will simply be finding the criminals for Kira to kill." The large L disappeared. L sighed and turned off the laptop. "That was painful."

"You sounded nothing like L."

"Yeah I know. Someone's going to notice but I don't care."

L looked outside. "I keep thinking that I'm going to die of a heart attack any second."

"You sure this place is secure?"

"I doubt he'll look for me here." L looked around. "Just in case. How did Kira and Nate become shinigami?"

"They killed with the Death Note and when you die after killing with the Death Note you become shinigami."

"Let me use the Death Note for one second."

"You actually want to become a shinigami?"

L smiled. "I plan on being a part of this even when I die."

"Anyone you want to kill in particular?"

"Watari. The man has been getting in my way for the past week."

"Your own agent?"

"Weren't you listening to what I said? Watari is the reason I had to make a global announcement. Watari humiliated me. Watari will continue to get in my way unless I kill him."

"So are you doing this to become a shinigami or to get rid of Watari?"

"Both."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Watari said that you were not up to the standard of L. I've studied you. You're a lot smarter than he thinks. You caught five criminals in the past week."

L shrugged. "I stress out easily. You gave me a death threat do you think I'm going to be at my best? I'm already bad at doing tests."

Ryuuk was silent for a moment. "Maybe I picked the wrong person to be L."

"Nah, everyone else in the orphanage are idiots. Now give me the Death Note."

Ryuuk gave it to him. L wrote.

Death Note

How to Use It

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds

of writing the person's name, it will happen.

"What makes you so sure that there is something here that will kill shinigami?"

Kira smiled. "Do you really think shinigami are completely invincible? Do you really think that they can only die of old age and from misusing the Death Note? No, something in this world must be able to kill them."

"This place must stretch like this forever. What makes you think you'll find what you are looking for?"

"I've been doing research."

"Oh?"

"You don't need to know."

"But you know where you're going?"

"Yeah. We aren't just wandering around hoping that something will happen."

Kira stretched out his wings. "We'll need to fly for this part."

Mikami looked up. "Oh my god."

Kira smiled. "Trust me, it's in there."

They flew into the sandstorm.

"He wants a Death Note. How am I supposed to get him one?" Nate looked among the shinigami. They were all so stupid. Yet all of them would notice if he took their Death Notes. "How the hell do I get him one?"

"Ha! Two sideways skulls whoo!" Nate turned. "Gambling." He whispered and he smiled. "Mind if I join in?"

"You don't even have a Death Note."

"I've got something even better."

"Oh?"

Nate smiled and looked among them. "What do you normally bet on?"
"Pages from each others' Death Notes."

"Not on lives?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I win you give me your Death Notes. If you win then you get to kill one person that I love in the human world."

"Gambling the lives of the ones you love for two Death Notes? What will we get out of it?"

"Increased life spans. The names I will give you are very young people. And, for every time you win I give you more and more names."

"We can just kill any little child that we want."

"I love them very much. If you're as sadistic as I think you are then you'll enjoy my reaction."

They agreed. "I bet on one skull pointing to the right and one to the left." Said Nate. They rolled. Nate smiled. They both pointed to the left. "No…." whispered Nate. "No!"

They laughed. "Name please." Nate gave them a name. He began to cry. They smiled. "Oh cheer up."

"That was my brother."

"He's now part of my lifespan."

The other shinigami looked at the one who had spoken. "What about me?"

"You get the next one."

They continued like this for a while until Nate finally won. Nate grinned and walked off. "One for me and one for Ryuuk." It had been hard to act like that and trying hold back the laughter. There was no one in the world that Nate truly loved. He was an orphan, he had no brother. "Time to meet Ryuuk."

Author's Note: Damn it! This plot isn't going anywhere!
