With only a few weeks left with their human memories, it would be a shame to waste it. Beyond knew from the talks he had with Light that the boy never had been out of Japan before he died and went to Wammy House in England. Yes, although Light acted older than his age, he was still a boy. Barely eighteen.

So he had suggested to travel across the world in those last few weeks. With their Shinigami wings it was easy to go from country to country or just a whole different continent. He was pleased to see Light's amazed expression at the actual Eiffel Tower in Paris, or the big city LA in The United States where he lived awhile himself. They traveled around the whole world and because they didn't have to sleep it was possible to see it all. Of course he got to taste strawberry jam in every country, that was certainly a plus point too.

But as everything has a beginning, everything has an end too. The few weeks became less and less until there were only two more days left. Their travel ended in Japan. The street where he and Light met for the first time all those months ago. It seemed like a good ending of their journey together.

Though… the bits and pieces of why and how became a chaos in his memory and slowly… he began to forget.

It was weird, but the last weeks were the best weeks of his life. Okay, he was dead technically, but nonetheless the best weeks of his life.

Light sat on the sidewalk with Beyond right next to him. They were back in his hometown in Japan. The place they met all that time ago. Ryuk told him that someone was following him and he had calmly walked further and around the corner… only to see Beyond appear not long after that.
And now they were remembering old memories for as long as they still could on that same sidewalk where their partnership -or should I say friendship- began.

Yes, since they still could. Because Beyond died one day earlier than Light, this meant he would lose his memories one day earlier too.

He's forgetting a lot… it won't be much longer until… until…

'You know,' Beyond broke through his thoughts. 'I still remember the look on your face when I said your full name and said I knew you were Kira.'

Light raised an eyebrow. 'Oh yeah? Then how was it?'

Beyond grinned. 'It was hilarious. You looked so surprised and scared at the same time!'

He huffed. 'I wasn't scared…'

Beyond gave him a well-knowing look.

'… Okay, a little bit scared. Maybe.'

His friend laughed. 'A little bit? A lot you mean! How did I even make you trust me enough to go along with it?'

'You said to me you saw what happened on the television. The thing with L. And then you said we had one thing in common and that was we both wanted to get rid of him,' Light told.

Beyond frowned. 'Wait… I remember it vaguely… but who exactly was L again? I have a vague memory that I could look like his twin… or something.'

Light's eyes slightly widened, but he didn't let the panic show that was bubbling up his throat. He doesn't remember L anymore. That means his memories must be really close to disappearing. What was the time he got shot again six months ago?'

'Liiiight!' Light blinked when Beyond waved his hand in front of his eyes. 'You okay? I lost a piece of my memory again, didn't I?'

'Yes… you lost something again.' Light let his head down, trying to hide his sadness.

'You know,' Beyond began again. 'I'm really happy I had the chance to meet you.'

Light couldn't help but smile.

'But I'm the happiest that I got to be friends with you.'

Now Light couldn't help but look up. 'Really?'

'Of course!' Beyond exclaimed. 'You really think I would stick with you if that wasn't the case?'

By now he was smiling broadly. 'I'm really happy we're friend too.'

Beyond's face darkened slightly. 'You think we'll be friends too after we lost are human memories? After we become full Shinigami's?' His voice worried.

'Do you still remember what I said to you after you got that nightmare when I was still at your apartment after I got released from confinement?' Light asked.

A frown formed on his forehead while Beyond thought deeply. 'No… I don't think I do…'

Light smiled warmly. 'I said to you "Don't worry, whatever will happen we stay together. I won't leave you. I promise I won't be another friend who will leave you alone."' (Second Chance, chapter 25) 'I promised that to you and I think- no… I know we will continue being friends for the rest of us immortal Shinigami life.'

Beyond looked him straight in the eyes and Light swore he saw tears gleaming in the red eyes. 'Thank you.'

He smiled very happily and suddenly began to fade out.

Beyond began to disappear before Light's eyes and he saw the red eyes becoming confused, as if almost everything was lost of his human memories. Then he was gone.

Light was looking at the empty space of where his friend sat just seconds ago. Now he was sitting alone on the sidewalk.

This would be the hardest part of losing his own memories. He had to do it on his own.

But luckily, he knew Beyond would be waiting for him in the Shinigami Realm. Memories or not, he was certain they would still remember the bond they build up in all that time.

Yes, he would be waiting here on the sidewalk until it was his time to go.

I'll see you soon… my friend.

So in the end Team L is still alive and Team Beyond and Light has their happy ending too. Did I ever say I like happy endings? No? Well I like happy endings :)
