The dark black haired Heretic, and the red haired female friend of his Gloria entered a small room with cloud white walls, which held little more then a bed, counter, television, and other things you would find in a hospital room. In the bed a brown somewhat messy yet neat haired male was lying back watching the television with both his arms wrapped in bandages from his shoulders all the way down to the tips of his fingers, as the two entered.

Heretic smiled a smile that could fool even the most paranoid of people into believing that he could do no wrong and said, "It's really a pleasure to see you again Light Yagami. I truly had been worried when I found that you were within the building as it collapsed. Are you okay?"

Light said in a soft voice, "Who are you? Have we met before? I think I recognize your voice….." In mid sentence he stopped as if a light bulb was turned on when he realized where he heard the voice. He continued speaking a moment later saying, "My… friend, it's nice to see you as well. As you can see both my arms had been badly burned, but I at least still have full range of motion and can still write as well. Will you please stay with me a while so we may talk privately I mean…"

Gloria gave a smile of embarrassment then said setting a bouquet of many colored flowers in a vase onto the counter stumbling over words, "I'm so sorry… I…. Umm… well don't you remember me Light? We used to go to school together. We had picked these flowers out for you from my flower shop, you really should visit sometime to see me. It was really his idea, I wouldn't had known you had been hurt in that incident had he not remembered me mentioning a Light from my Jr. High years. I'll give you guys a little time to talk, don't miss me too much." On her last sentence she glanced over to Heretic giving a playful smile then left the room, leaving only the two killers and two shinigami within.

Dara leaned against the farthest wall from the two humans and said directed to Ryuki, "So it comes down to this huh? It really is interesting sometimes watching these humans when one manages to find your death note."

Ryuki chuckled saying, "Humans…. They are entertaining."

Dara rolled her eyes and her attention shifted again to Light as he spoke, "So, you have learned my name. Perhaps I was too careless in giving my first name in the warehouse. However, I would be interested in knowing how you had gotten from having only my first name to my last and even known which hospital I was staying within. What do you plan to do now? Kill me? If so why, I was some pawn chosen by some detective to watch his meeting with a confirmed killer. You wouldn't benefit from my death."

Heretic smirked and said grabbing a seat and placing it at the right side of Light's bed then sat down, "It has very much to do with you. You're a bright guy, perhaps as intelligent or more so then me, but you had made a mistake by stopping L and I from speaking further in some places. Will you help me, will you tell me how Kira kills", Heretic let out a chuckle, "Foolishness, simple foolishness. Why would I give away my secret in how I kill? Sure… it would have been against you, but L would then know what to watch for on me… and perhaps even ask to confiscate it. I know who you are Light, it's beyond time for acting. You must have a brilliant mind to get so close to L….. I can even bet you have access to see his face."

Light frowned looking over Heretic's facial features asking, "What do you mean acting? I am telling you the truth. I do not kno…"

Heretic leaned forward whispering, "I know your Kira… I know you too must have a death note…. It's your timing that gave it away… you were cool and collected on the outside… but within you panicked and changed the subject at that timing where I could have given information valuable to L."

Light slowly sat up and said in a smooth manner, "Okay, you have got me. What do you plan to do? Like I asked, do you plan to kill me? I am going to be the god of this new world; things are already changing cant you see? Criminals are being punished for their deeds; people are already becoming more moral out of fear of judgment by Kira. The world needs Kira. Without me, the world would fall into the cesspool it had been in before I began. Surly you must agree with me."

Heretic grinned saying, "I understand why you do what you do, but frankly I don't give a shit. The world is still the same on the inside as it ever was, and perhaps even worse. Just because people are afraid to do certain things, it doesn't mean it's not there. The actions of humans may change, but their hearts are always the wicked things they always had been."

Kira shook his head and said, "You really are pessimistic aren't you? The world can and will change. If you look it up the crime rate has gone down all over the world, especially in our area because they know I'm here. Even if they may think certain things, it doesn't matter, because they will chose to be righteous people. Those people know that if they kill another they are likely to face the judgment of Kira. We may even be able to obtain a perfect society where only the good lives within."

Heretic leaned back into his chair saying, "Possibly, possibly, but then you would kill basic freedom's as well. A world ruled by fear with a dictator over them all who kills anyone who defies his will? I also ask, how can you judge what is right or wrong? Sometimes you must do the wrong thing for the right reason. You also must take in note what is right for some may not be right for all. You do not realize how people live… perhaps your mind is too far gone to approach you as a human to another. I believe it may be the death note that ruined you…. Had it not been for that you could possibly had lived a normal, good life, but instead you became a mass murderer whose goal is to be a dictator over the entire world…"

Light glared coldly at Heretic saying, "So you expect each society must choose what they think is right? To live the way they feel in their hearts is correct? Consider this: In this world there are cannibals out there that lives on the flesh of other human beings, and they lived that way for many decades. Does that make it right?"

Heretic shook his head saying, "It's not about what's right or wrong it is about the freedom to live. Some people are forced to live certain ways because of circumstances beyond their control. Kira… I want to tell you now I am not here to debate with you over what is right or wrong. I frankly care little for the state of the world. All I wanted was a challenge, to put myself against the best of the best. The world's greatest killer of all time, and the shadowed mastermind behind it all these are the worthy foes I desired. Now, I wish to tell you goodbye Kira, may we meet again in hell, purgatory, nothingness, or wherever we go into death. You shall see L… that is if a heaven doesn't exist truly he is the just one of you two."

Light pulled himself up and began rushing for the door, but it was too late, Heretic was gone from the room, and nurses standing on each side of the hospital door took Light by each arm whispering, "You still need to rest, don't worry it will be fine."

Heretic smiled over toward Gloria who he seen in the waiting room and said, "Was he the same from what you seen as you remember? Did he seem like the same person he had been at a younger age?"

Gloria laughed and nodded saying, "Good old Light, he may look older then he had, but he still has the same hair eyes, and was always more intelligent then any of us. Be careful, he may even be a challenge for you. Don't worry though, I am still your number one fan, he can't steal me away from you."

He laughed and said, "I hope not Gloria, without you it wouldn't be the same." Heretic grinned then took her by the hand kissing it. He and Gloria left the hospital and went their separate ways to their homes. Gloria to think about having the chance to meet an old friend again, and Heretic to plan his next move…
