the fall
he knew it was over before it even started, though he had convinced himself otherwise. it didn't matter who you were or what you did - if you had found yourself ascension, eventually someone would find a way to knock you down. the name of the game had been to extend his time as long as possible, and do as much for the world as he could. it was all in the name of humanity, although apparently others disagreed -
" - I could understand someone who would kill countess people for their own personal gain. I could even consider them normal. But you lost yourself to the shinigami and the power of the notebook... mistakingly thinking you could become God...
A crazy mass murderer.
That's all you are - "
- and he could not understand how they could possibly miss the logic of it all. were they missing brain cells? an aspect of their sanity? the ability to judge the world around them? he wasn't sure what was could possibly explain it, all he knew was that few had the logic to perceive things as he does. did. had.
but things were over, now. no matter what he'd done, no matter how much he'd spoken or judged or cried or beg, it was over, he was -
" - G-God... I only did as you wished... - "
"G-god..."
"YOU ARE NOT GOD - "
- pathetic! they were all pathetic, that's what it was, it was not his fault, it was not his fall! it was only what they could not see, but they would pay for such sins. it was not that he had not left successors behind, it was not that he had not prepared or this, someone would continue his work. and until then, they would get what they deserve -
" - I'm satisfied with being used by you."
"Didn't you have to sacrifice innocent lives to punish criminals? I was only doing the same thing..."
"I'll try my best - "
- but this didn't stop the fact that his life was about to end, ryuuk was putting his name in the book, and no matter how much begging and pleading didn't stop this and he wasn't going to he was going to die pathetically, just as his father had, just as many -
- had taken the fall -
- could not stop him, and only a few seconds left, he cannot control his voice, he cannot control -
- a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
The one who searches and destroys
Somebody gotta save my soul -
- maybe ryuuk had been a liar, but that was not to be expected. no, this was to be the end of him, the 'reward' for all of his hard work -
- One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! -
- this wasn't supposed to happen -
- there's something we must discuss:
perhaps we should sit them down and explain
how not to be saved -
- like this -
- He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back. -
- memories through his mind, good and bad. those he had screwed over those who had screwed him over his mother his father his beautiful sister his life -

In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our brother Yagami Raito; and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless him and keep him, the Lord make his face to shine upon him and be gracious unto him and give him peace. Amen.
And as his heart stopped beating, Yagami Raito could only utter one word. A profane swear word, and as thus, ending his life as classy as he had lived it...
But this was not to be the end. No, it was to be m erely the beginning...
