Revived love- Lawlight (LxLight)

Ch 2: A Letter From the Dead

(Light's POV)

I kept staring at the computer monitor, hearing the faint whispers of the task force behind me.

'The fact that you are reading this message, means that I am no longer alive at this moment...'

I couldn't get those words out of my head, no matter how hard I tried. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the image of his dying features out of my mind...

I slammed my fists down on the desk in front of me, clearly startling the others.

"Light... Are you okay?" I heard my dad ask.

I stood up, ignoring the question and the others and walked away silently. When I was out of their sight, I started running down the hall. I felt tears streaming down my face as I made my way to what used to be mine and Ryuzaki's room...

I busted through the door, slamming it behind me. I rested my back against the door, slowly sliding down it until I was sitting in the fetal position on the floor.

There were no surveillance cameras or wiretaps in the room, so I knew I was free. Free to let go of that stupid strong facade...

It felt like hours before I finally stopped crying. I stood up slowly, my body still shaking. I wiped away the few remaining tears and made my way over to the dresser, opening the drawer.

I picked up one of L's shirts and hugged it close to my chest. I saw something fall out of it, and onto the floor. A letter...

~ ~ ~

Dear Light Yagami,

The fact that you are reading this right now, means that I am dead. Also, I am one hundred percent certain that you, Light, were the cause of my down fall. I am certain that you, are Kira. Of course, these facts don't matter much now since I'm dead.

Your intelligence is superior, and I believe that is what gave you this lead in our little game. It was fun while it lasted though, a game well played. But, I never thought I'd be the loser.

Yet alas, here we are. And although I am dead, I'll leave you one more challenge, one that you tricked me with as well. It was a good game.

-Fare well,
L.

Light flipped the letter over, finding a longer note, a poem of sorts.

'What is this? A trick I used before, huh...?' Finally, it clicked.

I know this wasn't planned, but

Do we ever learn as life goes

On, that

No one should judge another? Some

Things can't be avoided, and fates

Can change, even when you

Aren't ready. Life's cruel, and so is

Reality. If we are all

Equal,

Than why does life treat us differently?

Hate,

And love,

They're two separate concepts,

Yet they both hold deep meaning.

Only time will tell,

Under the hardest circumstances, if we

Are loved or hated.

Right or left, we are bound to one path, and

Eternity forbid that evil shall ever stray, from the

Kindness of pure hearts.

In the end, we are the same. And in

Retrospect, our enemies were our

Allies with a different view.

Internally, there was always

Love in the evil, that was sadly

Overrun and broken in time. They

Veered off the path of the kind, and into the

Evil's arms. They will

Yap for forgiveness

Once they find it is too late.

Unfortunate times, that may

Lay ahead have given power

In past days, to

Good, and in

Hell,

To evil.
