Chapter 3
Light
Everything is white. It is filling my head, everything I see, unsmudged perfect white. No, but there are people I can see. And I have a handcuff on my wrist? There's a chain leading off of it to somewhere, but where? Silhouettes, perhaps, but people nonetheless. I start to walk, then run towards those people. The shadows form into people that I recognize. My father, my kindergarten teacher, and Mello. I stop short, just a few feet away from them. Where am I, and why are they here? The only reasonable conclusion is…
But I can't be dead, I had a foolproof plan! Mikami was the perfect proxy, he followed my orders and revered me as a god. Did he betray me? Or was it Matsuda, the only member of the Task Force whom I could consider an ally? He did believe in me, Kira, and mentioned more than once that the crime rate had gone down and that wars were non-existent, but he could be a turncoat and just be acting stupid.
I walk away from them, confused that they weren't talking to each other. Staying on the trail of the chain, I saw large amounts of Japanese criminals, all gaping at me. They're shouting, and some of the shouts are,
"You're Kira! Why did you kill me?"
"Murderer!"
"Monster!"
How did they know that I was Kira? I didn't tell them, and it wasn't revealed to anyone outside of the Task Force and the SPK. Plus, they were dead before anyone could know that Kira was even real! What's going on here? Quickly, I speed-walk away from them, going along the chain, and gladly they didn't follow, they only yell curses after me.
Keep on walking, Light, and they can't hurt you. Plus, I'm stronger than them anyways. Not looking where I'm going, I bump into someone.
"Hey, watch it!" I say. I look at who I ran into, and nearly scream. It's a man I most definitely know, who has spiky black hair, dark bags under his eyes, one finger in his mouth, and a smile on his face. Wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and jeans, with a handcuff around his wrist, chaining him to me, and barefoot. Standing, back slightly hunched and knees bent.
"Ah, Light Yagami. Or should I say Kira? We meet again." L said, smirking. "Welcome to Mu."
