Now What Have I Gotten Myself Into? ~Enter Konoha's number one knuckle head

Chapter 1

Life with Light Yagami was better than I could ever have imagined. We had overcome all obstacles that had stood in our way ever since we had met. For instance like when I had first arrived in the Death Note world. I had no idea how I ended up there, no place to go, and I had absolutely no idea if my parent's credit cards would work there. We had talked his mom into letting me stay for a few days and from there I had gained the love of his family. Looking back now, I know there wasn't a necessity for me to find my own place but I am glad I had. Having my own place made it that much more difficult for L to watch both Light and I. I was able to move more freely and coerce events in the directions I wanted them to take. I was even able to allow my cousin to stay in my house while I was too preoccupied with the Kira investigation in order for her to do what I could not. Seeing as Light and I were being so closely watched. With Light at my side we conquered the second Kira, outwitted L, and even found our way back to each other so we could rule over our world together.

There was one hurdle we just couldn't seem to overcome. Closing my eyes as I held Light's hand in mine. I allow my memories to take over my conscious thinking. Taking me away from the present back to when we were standing on the balcony of our home with our son resting peacefully in his crib. The blonde dye having long left the soft tendrils of my long black hair. "Kira" Light's voice rang through my head, shattering the comfortable silence between us. Looking up to him I became captivated by his caring amber eyes. Age has done him justice even as a light five o'clock shadow grazed his features. Which had become more defined then when we had first met. "I've vowed to spend the rest of my life with you ever since I first realized my love I have for you. It has been a year since we got married." He speaks as he turns towards me. Wrapping his strong safe arms around my form I couldn't help but lean into his hold and take in his scent. "But, wouldn't it be better if we could spend eternity together just like this?"

Closing my eyes I could feel his breath against my ear. As he reminded me of the fleeting world we were tucking ourselves away in I feel a tear sting my eye threatening to break loose. He steps back and hooks his finger on my chin so my gaze would meet his eyes. "Yes, it would Light. Till the end of time itself, still wouldn't be long enough to spend with you." I told him having learned already that there is no longer any need to hide my true emotions towards this man. "But, why are you telling me this now?"

I watched him give a slight shake of his head before finally speaking again. "You have noticed it haven't you? I have aged where as you still look the same as you did when we first met nearly a decade ago." I felt my eyes widen before against my own will, which screams to be as close as possible to the man in front of me, I step back away from him. Looking down I felt myself shake as I fight not to release tears with the thought of him growing old and dying in front of my eyes. "You can make it possible can't you?" His question breaks through my painful thoughts causing me to shake my head.

"I explained to you once before. I do not have the power to take away your humanity.... I can not make you... like me. No matter how bad I selfishly want to. It isn't possible." I wasn't lying, what I was doing and even plan to do still was definitely selfish. I had proudly proclaimed to my cousin five years ago that forty years was nothing to those like us, so my family could wait back home until then.. If I had any mercy in my heart for my own soul or even the soul standing before me, I would have left when she told me how. To spend eternity with him when I already plan to take away the very human life he could have happily lived, just so I would never be without him. I am beyond selfish to want all of it with him.

Opening my eyes from the memory I look to Light's sleeping form in the hospital bed in front of me. I can still see the beautiful young man I had met and married even if he has become hidden by the signs of age. Before now I had begun to think each grey hair on his head was as beautiful on him as when they were light brown. "How I wish now more than ever we would have had eternity together. I would have given anything to have made you like me when you had asked." I whisper to him as I brush my thumb over the back of his hand that once held warmth. "I love you Light, I always have..." Yet, his time was finally here as the heart monitor's beeping became a single solid noise.
