Death Note: Life Note

RW Epilogue

A/N: So this is it. The final chapter :O There's a short extra at the start of this before the epilogue. 

Anyway... enjoy! 

Extra -

Light's POV –

Yellow Box Warehouse

Near pulls off his mask, and the two people beside him copy.

Standing there are two people I thought were dead.

Mello and Benihime.

How?!

Takada said that was her name! She said she killed Mello! That bitch lied! That, or I really did kill them but they brought each other back!

Let's just hope that when Mikami kills them all, they'll just die and they won't come back because of Benihime's stupid powers.

I will win this. I won't lose. I can't lose.

I thought if I took her out, she wouldn't be able to bring any more people back.

Why can't I kill her?! I killed L!

She'll be dead soon. I can't wait to see her cold, lifeless body on the ground along with Near, Mello's and everyone else's.

Soon I'll be God of the new world.

Epilogue

Benihime's POV

"I see you won." Ari says, I turn to face her and ignore the look Mello is probably giving me right now. He can't hear her, but from his perspective it looks like I'm going mad.

"Yes. There's a quick question I'd like to ask though." I begin. "I consumed a piece of the Life Note before I died, is that why I was brought back?"

Ari nods, her golden hair swishing from the movement. She gives me a small smile. "Yes. I withheld that rule from you so you would discover if for yourself. Otherwise you could have used it for selfish reasons. You swallowed a piece to protect his name, so no one else could find it. That's what the rule was intended for, you'd be rewarded for going the extra length to keep someone safe. So when your name was written down in the Death Note, the Life Note acted as if your name had been written down in your book and reversed the power of the Death Note. You have forty hours of immunity to death once it has been consumed and if you die during that time, it takes forty minutes to work."

I nod in reply. "Thank you for giving me the Life Note, I wasn't grateful before but now I've used it to save those I love from the Death Note, I can finally fully appreciate the Life Note's powers and capabilities. While I couldn't save my brother, at least I saved Mello and my parents."

"I'll have to take the Life Note back, I hope you understand." Ari says sadly, her smile falls from her face. I nod.

"Is there any way I can keep my memories? I'd like to remember what happened." I ask politely. Ari nods and smiles.

"Of course, if that is what you wish. You may make another request, if you want. Since you did save so many people from the Death Note and you went to extreme measures to protect those you love." Ari replies. A wide grin stretches across my face.

"Is there any way you can bring my brother back?" I ask hesitantly. "I never had the opportunity to talk to him as my brother, I only spoke to him as another classmate."

"So what happened?" Mello asks as we begin our walk home. Matt missed an epic battle, I can tell Mello is excited to tell him everything that happened.
