Death Note: The God of this new world

Chapter 17: Dove's Legacy

In a bustling city, the world continued to turn, oblivious to the hidden war between Kira and L. Among the sea of faces, there was one that stood out – a young woman in her early 20s with determined eyes and a resolve of steel. This was Aria, the daughter of Dove.

She had inherited her father's keen intellect and instinct for investigation. Her father's mysterious death had left a deep wound, one that she sought to heal by uncovering the truth behind it. For years, she had poured over evidence, piecing together fragments of information, and following leads that seemed to evaporate into thin air.

Aria knew her father had been deeply involved in something dangerous, something that had ultimately cost him his life. She knew that the key to unravelling the mystery lay with the elusive L, the detective her father had trusted implicitly.

Armed with her father's old case files and her own relentless determination, Aria embarked on a mission to find L. She navigated the labyrinth of secrets and lies, evaded Kira's watchful eyes, and followed the faint trail left by L.

She had close calls, encounters where she barely escaped Kira Corps' grasp, but her resolve never wavered. If anything, each encounter only steeled her determination. She had a purpose, a mission to fulfill. She was the Dove's daughter, and she wouldn't rest until she had found L and uncovered the truth.

Despite the world embracing Kira's new order, Aria stood as a beacon of resistance, a testament to the human spirit's indomitable will. She had a long journey ahead, fraught with danger and uncertainty, but she was ready. After all, she was her father's daughter. And she would stop at nothing to uncover the truth.

Under the cloak of night, Aria moved stealthily, staying in the shadows, her eyes locked onto her target – Misa Amane, the famous actress and one of Kira's closest allies. For days, Aria had trailed Misa, learning her routine, her habits, studying her every move.

The opportunity presented itself one late evening when Misa was leaving a charity event. Aria, clad in black and masked to hide her identity, emerged from the shadows. With precise timing, she rendered Misa unconscious with a swift, non-lethal blow, then quickly moved her into a waiting vehicle.

Back at her safe house, Aria kept Misa securely bound, but unharmed. She was not a kidnapper by nature, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Misa was her only link to Kira and, by extension, to L.

When Misa regained consciousness, she found herself in an unfamiliar room, her hands tied. Aria revealed herself, keeping her tone firm but not threatening. "I'm not going to hurt you," she began, "I just need answers."

Misa, ever the feisty one even in captivity, smirked. "And why should I help you?"

"Because I am Dove's daughter," Aria replied. The mention of Dove's name seemed to register a flicker of recognition in Misa's eyes. "And because I believe that deep down, you know what Kira is doing is wrong."

The room fell into silence, the tension hanging heavy in the air. Aria knew this was just the beginning. She had a long, arduous task ahead. She had to convince Misa to help her, to bring Kira's reign to an end.

All the while, Aria hoped that somewhere out there, L was still fighting, still seeking justice. And perhaps, with Misa's help, they could bring Kira's reign to an end.

Misa, although tied up, remained outwardly calm, studying her captor. She noted the determination in Aria's eyes, the seriousness of her words, the pain in her heart. A plan began to form in her mind.

"Fine," Misa finally said, breaking the silence. "I'll help you. But you have to untie me. I won't be able to do anything tied up like this."

Aria hesitated, her instincts screaming at her not to trust Misa. But the chance to end Kira's reign, to get justice for her father, was too tantalizing. She made a decision she would soon regret.

As Aria approached to untie Misa, the actress moved with lightning speed, grabbing a hidden blade she had concealed in her dress. In an instant, she slashed at Aria, landing a deep cut on her leg and another on her shoulder.

Aria cried out in pain, stumbling back as blood started to stain her clothes. She reached out, trying to grab Misa, but the actress was already out of reach.

"I'm sorry, Dove's daughter," Misa said, standing by the door, a cruel smirk on her face. "But Kira's world is here to stay."

With that, she vanished into the night, leaving a wounded Aria alone in the safe house. Despite the searing pain, Aria knew she had to move, to hide. She had lost this battle, but she would not give up. Her father's legacy, her mission, and L's struggle depended on it.

Chapter 51: The Illusion of Justice

Back at the Kira Corps headquarters, Misa relayed the night's events to Light and the others. Light's eyes flared with anger upon hearing Misa's report, not at Misa's escape, but at her missed opportunity to eliminate Aria.

"Why didn't you kill her, Misa?" Light's voice echoed in the room, filled with a lethal calm.

Before Misa could respond, Teru stepped forward. "Because, Kira," he said, "we can use this to our advantage."

Teru then revealed his long game, how he had been keeping tabs on Aria from the moment she showed up on their radar. He explained how he had secretly placed surveillance cameras in Aria's safe house, recording everything that happened, including Misa's 'kidnapping.'

Light, understanding Teru's plan, sat back, a slow smile spreading on his face. He would use the footage to frame Aria for Misa's kidnapping. The world would see Aria as a criminal, a terrorist, and they would hunt her down. The daughter of Dove would become a fugitive, just like L.

Aria, now injured and on the run, had no choice but to go underground. She found a hiding place in the city's intricate sewer system, much like L had done before her. Alone, betrayed, and framed, Aria was now a rogue element in this intricate game.

But even in her pain and desperation, she held onto one thing - her resolve to stop Kira. She might have been forced into the shadows, but she was not out of the fight. Not yet.
