His head was foggy, but all the pain was gone. At least, he thought there should have been pain. As the fog lifted, Light opened his to see a familiar face with unfamiliar bright red eyes.
“Ryuuzaki...?” Light questioned the last remnants of fog dispersed.
Suddenly, the memories of his crushing defeat by Near came rolling back, and the fact the man in front of was dead, as was he. Light stood firm at seeing his old adversary although perturbed by the fact that ‘nothingness’ seemed a lot more like ‘hell.’
“I went by that name once,” the red-eyed man said with a strange smile that confirmed that this was not L. “Although, I figure you have mistaken me for Lawliet. Quite a common error, actually.”
Light scrutinized this L look-alike and caught a good look at the man’s eyes. “You have Shinigami eyes,” Light stated, wondering how this man possessed them.
The man grinned, showing his teeth that had speck of what looked like blood on them. “And you must be Kira, if you know that,” the man stated. “Although, I can’t see your name or lifespan over your head, but that’s just because we’re both dead.”
Light continued to look this man over carefully, keeping his guard up. “I am Kira, but who is Lawliet?” he asked.
The man frowned. “You disappoint me. You killed him, yet you did know his name?” the man asked incredulously then he clicked his tongue. “Tut tut. L Lawliet should have at least lost to you because his name had been found out by you. What, you manipulate a Shinigami into doing your dirty work, Kira.”
Light growled as it hit him. L Lawliet, L’s real name, the name he had just let Rem find out and had not bothered to find himself. It still stung that he had taken down his rival down that way, but it had been the only way at the time.
“I bet you don’t even remembered that you killed me, too, Kira,” the man said, saying Kira like it was a dirty word. “Not that I’m bitter about dying. On the contrary, I had planned to die much earlier, in L.A., so L Lawliet would have a case he would never solve.”
Light’s brows furrowed as he went through his memory banks for murders in L.A. that L had solved. After a moment, it clicked. “The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases,” Light finally said. “You are Beyond Birthday. You died January 21st, 2004 by heart attack. I remember writing your name because it was so strange, and you vaguely reminded me of L...”
B grinned. “I’m so flattered Kira remembers me although I did not kill anyone who was not already going to die that day,” B stated and pointed to his red glowing eyes. “Technically, I was wrongly killed, was I not?”
“You murdered those people in such a disgraceful way. Their deaths already being predetermined does not make you innocent.” Light sneered.
“Ah, true,” B said nonchalantly. “Yet, does killing all the people you killed since you did in the name of justice make you any less of a murder than I?”
Light’s face contorted into one of anger. “I know I am a murderer, but I was right,” Light growled. “My murder was done to protect the innocent. I gave up my innocence for them.”
B tilted his head. “Sounds like an excuse to solve your boredom to me,” B shrugged as he spoke. “Though, I doubt even you thought it would lead to such a magnificent battle of wits between you and Lawliet.”
Light was about speak up, but B would not have it. “I think you talked of your ‘righteousness’ enough just before you died. You do like long-winded speeches, don’t you?” B asked, rhetorically. “That’s really all you did after Lawliet died. How boring, ne? You must miss your ‘Ryuuzaki,’ yes?”
Light recoiled as B placed a hand on his cheek. At that moment, Light felt glad he had killed this man; B was crazed with Shinigami and a genius as well. The world would not have survived had this man ever escaped jail and planned something more elaborate than the L.A. BB murders. “That is no business of yours, murderer,” Light spat out as B came closer to him.
B even moved like L, and that one thought had caught Light off guard. B kissed him, full on the mouth. Before he pushed away, Light’s thoughts lingered on L and that he may have kissed like B did. Light pushed the thought away as he pushed B away.
B grinned afterwards the red flecks on his teeth that Light had though was blood were gone. He had found out in that kiss that the red flecks were leftover strawberry jam from something B must have ate. Perhaps he died eating strawberry jam, and that was why he had it on his teeth? Light shook his head as he backed away from B a bit more.
“As I thought,” B concluded. “You miss Lawliet. You’ll never get to where he is. If I didn’t, neither can you.”
And with that, B disappeared leaving Light alone in what had to be the real ‘nothingness’ Ryuk had spoke of, and he would never leave.
