A/N: Another different ending, very short just because there's nothing much else to say.

Episode 06, as Light is talking to Naomi.

Light smiled as he wrote Maki in his folded piece of the Deathnote. The one person who could send the new world crumbling to the ground would commit suicide, and no one would find her.

The smile dropped from his face when his watch kept ticking and 'Maki' wasn't dying.

"I should be getting back soon." said 'Maki', looking over her shoulder, "Someone might've come back."

"No one will be back for the next few hours." Light said offhandedly, as if thinking of something else, "I hope you won't tell anyone that."

'Maki' was shocked, stepping backwards, "Do you know that for sure?"

"I've worked with my father on several cases in the past." Light smiled easily, "With your skills, I want to convince Father to let you on the team."

The former FBI women narrowed her eyes -she could recognize something was off here. And she knew what it was, "Are you L?"

Light had perfected his "surprised" look, "Not here."

He walked forward, quickly, taking 'Maki' by the arm -who went along with him willingly. This young man was L -or perhaps there were multiple L's that all worked together to solve a case. He didn't sound like the L that she had worked with in the past, but that may have been the explination.

Then again, he could also be Kira. There was a test to this -if she showed him a fake ID, L would be able to tell -he never forgot anything. Kira would not know.

"Before I can get you onto the team, I need an ID to show the rest of the department." Light said quietly, "They do not like me blowing my cover like this."

"Will a Japanese driver's license do?"

"It will."

Naomi reached into her purse, rustling around until she found her fake driver's license. Mikasa Amashi.

Light took it and smiled at her, "Thank you. Would you mind if I copied down the information?"

"Not at all."

As Naomi grew steadily more suspicious, Light scribbled down the time and manner of death, then checked his watch, "Let's go back to the headquarters. With these, I should be able to get you past the lobby."

Thirty seconds passed and Light checked his watch.

"Why do you pay such close attention to the time?" Naomi asked, taking up another three seconds.

"It's because. . ." Light smiled evilly, "I'm Kira."

Naomi didn't walk away, though. Instead she drew Raye Penber's FBI-issued handgun and pointed it at Light.

That's when Aizawa entered the scene, and saw an unknown women pointed a gun at his Chief's son.

"Please lower your sidearm and submit to police custody, ma'am." said the Japanese cop, pulling out another sidearm anda set of handcuffs.

Naomi frowned at this, "I was Raye Penber's fiancée, and I believe this young man to be Kira. If you can contact L, please do so. I've worked with him in the past."

Aizawa thought about this, his eyes taking in the scene around him. The woman had the stance of a policeman -or woman. She wasn't a madman trying to kill the Chief's son, and if she was truly Raye's fiancee . . .

He pressed the buckle of his belt, setting of Watari's phone.

"Aizawa-san?" the old man inquired.

"I have a woman claiming to be Raye Penber's pointing a gun at Light Yagami. She says he's Kira." Aizawa said, having put the handcuffs away for a phone.

There was a quick exchange on the other end of the line, then L's voice came on, "Give the phone to her."

Aizawa stepped forward, gun still in hand, and poffered the phone to the unknown woman, "Ryuzaki wishes to speak to you."

Naomi took the phone, hearing the synthesized voice of L on the other line, "What is your name?"

"Naomi Misora." she whispered into the phone, not letting Light hear it."

"Take him into the station and put him in a cell. Be sure Light, or should I say Kira, does not have anything on him."

Naomi nodded; This one did sound like L. "He says to take Light under arrest."

After Aizawa confirmed this, Light was taken inside at gunpoint and his possessions confiscated -including the piece of the Deathnote.

Naomi leapt backward at the sight of Ryuk, leveling her pistol, "Who -What are you?"

Ryuk laughed that laugh of his, "Hey. I'm Ryuk the Shinigami."

"Shinigami don't exist." Naomi replied, but she couldn't deny the sight in front of her.

"Do you have any apples?" Ryuk asked, his teeth bared in a smile.

‡—-‡—-‡—-‡—-XXXXX-—‡-—‡-—‡-—‡

L came over in person to see the "Death God" of the police station. And in that moment, percent chance of Light being Kira went to one-hundred -and over, if it could.

Did you know, L? Gods of Death love apples.

The taunt Kira threw at him had become Kira's undoing, along with the small sheet of paper that allowed anyone and everyone to see the Death God.

The next day, Chief Yagami hung himself in his home, but the case was solved and Kira was put away where no one would ever find him.

Light died as well -of a heart attack. No one expected it; Light was as healthy as a horse.

But that meant Kira was still out there -and Ryuk wouldn't be claiming anything to the contrary.

The human world was so interesting.

A/N: Victory for the "good guys," though good and evil in this series is entirely subjective.
