Lawlight in Chains

Bracelets of Love (2)

Light slept for two whole days. He was awoken by something hitting him on the head.

"Oww!" He cried out and automatically tried to put his hands on his head, but was restricted by the handcuffs. Before he had time to process his situation, he was hit by a flood of images flying through his head. He screamed, convinced he was dying as his life flashed before his eyes.

But it wasn't his life. It was him as Kira. But he wasn't Kira. Was he?

"Hyuk, hyuk," He looked over at the window where the sound came from and groaned at what he saw. Or rather, who he saw.

"Ryuk..." He sighed as he watched the shinigami munch an apple.

[A/N - I'm too lazy to describe him, you all know what he looks like anyway, right? As Light Turner said, an 8 foot tall demon looking motherfucker]

"Hello again, Light. Or should I say, Kira?"

Light stretched his arms as far as he could and closed his eyes, trying to block everything out. He didn't want to remember. He'd been bored when he tried to become God of the new world, but then he'd met L and he was finally happy. He'd given the Death Note up for love. He started crying, remembering L's death.

"Hey, Light, guess what? I don't need you for apples anymore. I just go and steal my own now! Since no one can see me anyway. It's so funny when humans see flying apples, hyuk, hyuk. It's become a bigger headline than Kira. Flying apples throughout Tokyo!"

Ryuk juggled some apples to make his point.

"Ryuk, I don't give a shit about your apples. L is dead. My husband is dead!"

"And whose fault is that?" Ryuk asked.

"I don't know," Light wailed.

Ryuk approached the bed, produced his Death Note and flipped through it, before showing Light a page with the words "L Lawliet."

"No," Light whispered.

Ryuk tapped the words. "Handwriting look familiar?" He asked.

"NO!" Light yelled. "You forged my writing! I didn't kill him! I didn't, I didn't!"

"You sound so childlike right now," Ryuk gave him a look of pity.

"But I gave up ownership, so he shouldn't have died," Light sobbed.

He could no longer deny that he'd killed his lover. The proof was one thing, but he remembered it now. He'd been mad at Ryuzaki, probably over something stupid like getting cake crumbs in the bed. He'd done it, then panicked and tried to make it go away. He'd proposed to L the very next day.

"It doesn't matter, Light. Once a name is written, the person will still die. You did this. You're the reason he's dead."

Ryuk was no longer laughing. He'd never been on Light's side but he had enjoyed his company and didn't enjoy seeing him in such pain. Light's face was contorted in mental agony.

"Go away, just go away you stupid shinigami! I hate you, it's all your fault!" Light roared. He knew he was being stupid and childish but he didn't know how else to act right then.

"You'll be alone if I leave," Ryuk warned him.

"I don't care, just go!"

"OK, goodbye."

"Wait, untie me first!" Light yelled but he was too late.

Ryuk had vanished, leaving Light alone again.
