A Price to Be Paid

I worriedly stared at the door that had yet to open again since L's death. Today was his funeral and I could not help but to sympathize for Nori. To think she was L's sister. I suspected that there was some sort of previous relationship between the two but I never imagined them to be siblings. It must have been devastating.

There was finally a click as the door opened. A ghostlike figure stepped out from behind the door. It took me a few moments to recognize Nori. Her skin was paler than usual, bags had formed under her eyes similar to her brother's, and she looked completely broken. I felt as though I could easily break her fragile, porcelain body. She looked as though she was going to cry on the spot but she held it in. Watari was by her side, providing the only familiar person to comfort her.

She attempted to stand tall, dignified as she walked down the hall. Though I knew the black, somber dress she was forced to wear constantly reminded her where she was going.

During my lifetime, I had been to only a few funerals. This funeral had been completely different from all the rest. The only people present were myself, Nori, Watari, my father, Matsuda, Aizawa, and Mogi. I was only allowed to attend due to my father's influence. Though I knew I was not Kira, Nori still suspected me. Arashi was no where to be found. When I asked Watari just where he was, he merely replied "Arashi is in good care, there is no worry." My guess is Nori had him in some sort of confinement. I felt bad for Arashi however at the same time I completely understood Nori's actions.

At first, Nori had simply refused to allow the funeral to take place in Japan or so I am told. Watari was the only person she allowed in her room from the night of L's death to today. It was during Watari's visits that we occasionally heard screaming coming from her room. The only word that we could remotely catch was "L". Her screaming was usually followed by sobbing then by silence at which point Watari would leave the room.

Getting back to the topic at hand, with much coaxing, Watari was able to convince Nori to hold the funeral in Japan. She only agreed unless as soon as the Kira Case was finished, he would be moved back to England where her parents rested. She also demanded that Arashi not be allowed to attend the funeral. Shortly after these apparent negotiations, Arashi disappeared.

When we finally arrived at the funeral, no one spoke. Whether it was because they were afraid to speak due to Nori's presence or they simply had nothing to say, I was not too sure. I for one did not speak because I was not even supposed to be there. However, I felt it was necessary for me to pay my respects to L despite the fact I was a prime suspect in the Kira Case. I saw L as almost a role model since our intelligence had been near equal. If L had been able to become a world famous detective then I had no doubts that I would be able to become apart of the police some day.

There is not much I can say about the actual funeral. A part of me does not wish to remember it. As I mentioned, no one was willing to speak even when it meant comforting Nori. The tragic truth of it all was Nori was now alone. I wondered just how close she had been to L. Judging by her reaction, it seemed as though they were very close. When I had first met L, it was almost as though he were another person compared to the L that had the company of Nori. All I can say for sure is nothing but the feeling of loneliness and death reeked throughout the air during the time of the funeral.

Just after we had paid our final respects and were about to leave the cemetery, I noticed Nori still standing in front of L's grave. She clenched her fists with tears streaming down her face.

"L, I promise, I will kill Kira and whoever did this to you," I heard her say, her voice filled with complete sincerity. I knew who her first target would be: Arashi. I also knew that I was next and I could not help but to fear for my life.

OoOoOoOoOo

I'm looking around and there's nothing but darkness surrounding me. That crazy bitch put me into confinement shortly after I wrote L's name in the Death Note. This is bad...real bad.

I see nothing but this darkness for days. No weeks. Perhaps it's even been months. To be honest, I don't remember when I last saw the goddamn light. Both light and Light. This wasn't part of the bastard's plan! He never said anything about me getting caught. By now he should have gained his damn memories. Just what the hell is going on here! Now I normally don't panic but right now, I'm panicking!

I haven't had anything to eat in days. I feel my body is beginning to ware out. Stupid goddamn Light and his goddamn Death Note. And to hell with this goddamn Shinigami Ryuk who won't stop asking me for a damn apple! I'm tied up right now buddy, I'm not giving you you're goddamn apple! I wish I was dead! If they're going to kill me, can't they just get it over with!

"Arashi," I hear a voice suddenly coming out of no where.

"What the hell is it!" I shout back, completely irritated at the fact I am blindfolded.

"How are you feeling?" the voice asks me.

"I can't move, I'm hungry, and I'm goddamn tired. How do you think I feel?" I growl back.

"Then admit your crimes. Admit you are responsible for the deaths of criminals and L Lawliet," the voice responds. It's then that I realize it must be that tramp Nori talking to me.

"Like I would admit to killing that low life," I said just to piss her off.

"Take that back you son of a bitch!" she barked back. I simply laughed at her. "I'm going to ask you this one more time. Admit your crimes and I will make sure you do not receive the death penalty when I prove you are Kira."

It dawned on me. Light's plan from the beginning was for me to take the fault for him. He never intended me to actually survive in the end. That bastard! That no good lying goddamn son of a bitch!

"Wait! If you don't execute me, I'll tell you everything you need to know about Kira!" I blurted out. I was willing to do anything to save my ass.

"You tell me everything I need to know and I will make sure you only receive life in prison," Nori said. Hell no.

"Ten years in prison."

"Thirty-five."

"Twenty."

"Thirty."

"Twenty-five, take it or leave it," I said.

"Fine," I heard her say bitterly. I suddenly felt the blindfold being taken off of my face. I could now see again! It was a goddamn miracle I tell you! I finally gave a smirk in Light's direction.

"First of all, I'm not Kira. Light is."

"What! That's insane!" Light exclaimed.

"He may sound like he's telling the truth...and that's because he believes he's telling the truth. Light doesn't remember being Kira," I said, completely ratting him out. "See there's this thing called a Death Note and when you write a person's name in it, they die. When you give up the notebook, you lose all your memories of ever having it."

"You expect me to believe something like this?" Nori asked.

"I ain't lying. Just go in my room, you'll find a black notebook." Nori motioned for Watari to go get my Death Note. "When you touch it, you'll be able to see a Shinigami." Speaking of those damn things, I forgot to mention that this entire time, Ryuk was goddamn laughing his ass off. I didn't get what was so goddamn funny but whatever.

Watari returned shortly with the notebook. Nori immediately grabbed it, an expression of shock coming across her face.

"Alright...I believe you..." she said, "So Light is Kira?"

"Yes. Don't let him touch the notebook."

"Restrain him!" Nori immediately ordered. A group of people who I guessed were the feds did as Nori ordered. "I want him removed from the building as well!" Once again, the feds complied and began to drag that bastard out of the room. I then saw Nori take out a pen and open the Death Note. "If I write Light Yagami's name here, he will die?" she asked me.

"Yeah in forty seconds." Without much hesitation, she scribbled something in the notebook. I guessed it to be Light's name. She waited patiently for the forty seconds to arrive. Finally, Watari's phone began to ring.

"Apparently Light Yagami has died of a heart attack," Watari said after answering his phone. Nori made no hint of regret as Watari delivered the news.

"Well, I guess that means I'm all clear, right?" I asked.

"Yes, since you were not Kira we can't convict you of anything," Nori responded bitterly.

"Yeah we'll go with that. I'm really sorry about L dying and all but I did—" I began

"You did?" Nori said, confused as she raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah I—"

"But you said Light was Kira."

"He is."

"But you killed L."

"Uh...no," I lied. Though it was too late. Nori already knew I was lying.

"Take him away!" Nori ordered. Aw shit. And just like Light, I was being dragged away. I only had forty seconds to live. I struggled to break free but it was no use! Damn him! Damn that Light! That goddamn son of a bitch! I hate him! I hate him! I hate him!

A sudden tightness filled my entire body.

Life's a bitch.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

The wind blew through Winchester, causing the leaves to disperse among the ground. Kerri Lawliet gazed down upon the graves of her parents and her younger brother. She only remained for a few moments before departing and heading towards the cemetery gates.

Upon arriving at the gates, Mr. Wammy stood next to her motorcycle holding a news paper in his hands. Kerri ignored his presence as much as possible as she made her way towards the vehicle.

"Kira's disappearance made headline news throughout the world," Mr. Wammy remarked.

"So what?" Kerri responded bitterly.

"You know, during the Kira Investigation, I did not believe I had seen L that happy since the day you left the Wammy House," Mr. Wammy stated. Nori did not speak; she merely got on her bike and turned the ignition on. The engine roared loudly as she took off: riding into the everlasting distance.

The End
