I was walking to the hotel Near was situated in the next day. Can't wait to be told everything that Near has figured out. I guess I'll be there a while. I cross the street and reach the train station. I find a seat and start to feel light headed. I look up to see Teru, writing in a notebook looking straight at me. My eyes widen, then I collapse.

I wake up in a bed, in the hospital. Aren't I supposed to be dead now? Looking around I see the task force and Light, who was holding my hand. He notices how I was awake and smiles gently. He must be taking acting courses now if he can fake a smile that well.

"I'm so happy to see you're ok, the doctor said you were going to be bedridden for a while. Anyway we have to work on the case so I can't stay long. I just needed to check up on you"

"Sure. You go do your job"

He leaves with the rest of the group. I turn on the tv and watch Kiyomi talk about how Kira is great. I wonder what Light will do now? And Near? I can't keep working on the case with either of them, which is a problem since I have valuable information. And now the notebook is with the task force once again, they better not do anything with it. I fall into a deep sleep, one full of dreams.

"I love you"

"If you truly loved me you'd give up the notebook"

"Fine. I resent ownership of this death note"

As he says this his eyes seem to become clear and more full of life. He looks at me, a proper smile on his face. He takes my hand in his, looks me in the eye and brings me into a hug.

"Have you ever thought about forgetting about the case? Just going back to being normal teenagers in love," Light says.

"I have. But Kira... has to be stopped. They're still out there"

Light lets go of me and brings me over to a couch. He puts his hand behind my neck, and brings me in for a kiss. It was sweet, passionate, caring. The way he could never be with the notebook in possession. We pull apart and I close my eyes, resting my head on the back of the chair. Light leans forward, as if to grab something, and screams. My eyes fling open and find Light with the notebook in hand yet again.

"You cannot and will not defeat Kira. I am god!" He says writing something in the notebook.

I feel a pain in my chest and my eyes widen realizing what has happened. He's killing me. I start to fall off the couch, but Light catches me and holds me close to him.

"I'm sorry, but it has to be done. I can't have any distractions," he strokes my cheek gently, gives me one last kiss and places my body on the ground. "I love you. But I can't let you live"

I awake with a gasp. I hear the monitor beeping as my heart race increases due to the dream. So any way, it wouldn't of worked out. We could never just be two regular teens in love. I bury my head in my hands trying to calm my heart rate.
