Death Note: Light x Reader: Rule With Me

False Friendship

Time Skip - 1 Week Later

"So," you began as you set down a stack of assorted-colored notebooks on Light's desk, "what am I supposed to do when we meet up with the third Kira? What's going to happen?"

Light grabbed the cherry red-colored notebook from the pile and dragged it to the center of the small table for a better lighting. "We are going to meet up with this Kira tomorrow in the afternoon... You don't necessarily have to do anything, actually. Just keep your lips sealed until he asks you a question that only you can answer. If you know that I can answer, leave it to me."

You shrugged. "What about our Death Notes? That's a really important thing to certify that we are Kira, and also for emergencies if things get out of hand."

He stooped down, opening the bottommost drawer in his desk. After unlocking it, he sat back up, but now in his hand was his Note.

Your eyes widened. "H-How did you..?"

"Ryuk retrieved my Death Note just about an hour after it was stolen. He doesn't want us to know how he did that; probably because Ryuk's face was too hideous for them to handle."

A chuckle escaped your lips. "Hmn, but what about my Death Note? It hasn't been gotten back yet?"

"No. And they'll never give the real one back; they'd just give you a fake copy for sure. Even if it's the real one, there's definitely going to be a trap." He stood up, dusting his pants.

"How do you know that?"

Light faced you and lifted you chin up, eyeing you seriously. "They're the Japanese Task Force, (Y/N). They won't simply give the real Note to Kira, because they're against them, am I right? That's why listen to me: never trust them. Never trust anyone. You never know what someone might do to harm you, and I can't let that happen. That's why, the only person who you should trust is me. Remember that."

You nodded. He gave a weak smile and pulled you closer to him for a hug. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Toru, the third Kira, was waiting by an abandonded dark alley behind a shop. Trashcans and worn-out cardboard boxes of different sizes were scattered all over the place. Overall, it had a faint smell of rotten meat. He leaned against the wall, sighing. "Dang, how long does it take for them to come here?" he murmured while kicking stray pebbles.

Just then, you and Light arrived. He was holding your hand tightly with a protective look. You both caught each other's eyes with Toru. He grinned mennacingly.

"Hn, I've been waiting for you, Kira, Yagami Light," he said while taking a few steps closer. "And you brought the other Kira." He chuckled softly, scanning your body. Light grasped your hand tighter. You can tell that he was ready for any attack that the third Kira could do.

"Oshima Toru, isn't it? The lucky person who picked up a Death Note. Welcome to our world." Light sounded calm when he said that. "And yes, this is the second Kira."

"Mhm. Heh, sweet." Toru approached you, attempting to touch you. "What's your name?" You got nervous. Luckily, your boyfriend was there to be your shield. He looked at you and read your eyes that meant a short thank you. "Her name is (Y/F/N)," Light stated.

Toru frowned. "Can't you let her answer for herself? This question isn't for you. I hate those kinds of people. Also, stop trying to be too over-protective. Who is she even to you?" 

"She's my girlfriend," he replied firmly. After that echoing sentence, the surroundings were silent for a moment.

The young man's eyes grew big, but his face quickly faded into an angry one. "Hah, does it look like I care?! I don't, actually! In fact, I never did!! After everything, Light, I never did care!"

You raised a brow. What does he mean? I don't understand, you thought.

Toru clenched his fists. "I'm going to say everything to you right now." He took a deep breath and continued. "You were always the one who was the center of attention. You were always the one with the best grades. You made all of the people look up to you instead of me! I was the perfect guy until you came in. I had everything anyone could ask for. But one day you changed my life and stole every single thing I cherished..! Why did you even talk to me? Why did you even transferred? Why did you... I wish... I wish you were never born in this stupid world!!!"

"Shut up!!" Light shouted. He threw a strong punch to Toru's face, sending him to the pavement. He let go of your hand and knelt down to tug his collar. "Just shut up already!! I never thought that'd happen to you. I never thought you were a selfish little idiot that was experiencing this. You never told me how you were feeling. Everyday I was thinking that you were a true friend... but you're not. This is why all of your friends are fake! You never had a true friend who cared!"

In return, he jabbed his stomach. Light almost lost his balance. Now, Toru was grabbing his collar. He pinned him to the nearest wall. "I hate you! I hate you!" he yelled between punches.

At one point, Light managed to grab his wrists and pinned him to the wall. "You're just like the others: desperate and greedy. Always thinking about themselves. Now, ask yourself why your life turned into a great mess!"

He looked straight in Light's eyes. "It's because of you... This made me motivated to devote myself in being Kira. I don't care if people see it as something crazy; I'll continue to kill until I get killed. Heh, I can already tell that my life is short. So, I'm gonna bring you down with me to the same life of despair I have. I wish the worst of luck from you. Oh, and your relationship with your girlfriend--that's not going to last, because there's no happily forever after. Only fools believe in those crap. Believe me, you'll not be contented with each other sooner or later. Just forget about this fantasy, 'cause they're only part of your imagination. Never gonna come true, Light."

Light stopped and let him free. Hearning those words, it made him feel dead, as if he actually believed his ex-best friend. What's also bad is that you heard those words as well. It made you furious and worried. 

Finally, you spoke up. "Y-You're wrong..! It is going to last, and I am sure of that!"

Your partner looked at you. "(Y-Y/N)..."

Toru smirked, walking over to you. "You'll never be happy, (Y/N)," he said. Then, he wiped the small dabs of blood in his cheek, shoved his hands into his pockets, and departed.

Leaving the two of you alone, Light still stood there, saying nothing.

"L-Light-kun?"

He shooked his head, clenching his fists and stormed off.
