Prologue

Authors Note:

Konichiwa my fellow Otaku's, my name is CosmoK13 and welcome to Life Note, this is my fanmade sequel to the Japanese franchise Death Note. Now a couple of years back, I created this story and posted it on a fanfiction account which belonged to my friend, Tetra. If you want to go check that out, the link to her fanfic account is in my bio. Now that I am 18 years of age, I can freely have my own fanfic account and put many stories on it. I have so many great ideas and I am really looking forward to working on them and sharing them with you. Now if you all have seen this story on Tetra's account already, they you should have a pretty good idea of what is going on. But this is going to be a bit different. I'm going to be editing a few scenes and change a bit of the story. Nothing too major other than scene changes but you should be able to see the differences. I really wanted to make sure that this version was a bit more clearer with less errors. Hopefully I'll be able to do that and make sure that you all enjoy this story. There's also going to be a sort of episode summary before the chapter starts so you all have some sort of idea of what the chapter will be about. With that said, let's take a look at this new version of Life Note!

Summary: Five years after the death of Kira, we follow a college student, Lamore Nosaka, who picks up a white notebook with the words 'Life Note' written on it. What could this mean?

Light Yagami ran as fast as he could as he breathed heavily. He held his left shoulder with his right hand as his arm had gone limp from the blood loss. Matsuda had shot that arm twice, one in his hand and another in the upper arm region. He also shot him a few more times causing him to lose much blood. But he wouldn't stop! No! He came too far to stop! He would not let Near, nor the Task Force beat him here and now. Why else would he be running from his life imprisonment or his execution if he still had a chance? He was God of the new world and God would never give up so easily.

Mikami and Takada may be dead, but he still had Misa…yes…he would find Misa and the two would find a way to get the Death Notes back. They would still continue punishing criminals and maintaining order for this world. And once Light gets the Death Note back, the first thing he'll do is kill all of the remaining SPK members, including Near, and the Task Force. Looking back as he ran, he could remember when he first picked up that Notebook. How he was still a high school student who saw the world as a rotting place that needed fixing and how that Death Note would be the key to creating a better world. He ran, and as he did, he could see a glimpse of his former self walk right past him. The Light Yagami before the Death Note. He was dead, and if he stopped here and now, so would Kira.

He entered another warehouse and slowly began to walk now. If he kept up his running pace, he would lose more blood than he needed to. He needed to save his strength. He soon came across some stairs, it would do. He slowly made his way up the stairs until he was halfway and laid there. He would rest here for a few minutes to regain some strength then move on. The sun was setting as he laid there, it would be nighttime soon. He could escape easily at night. The darkness would make it a bit difficult for anyone to find him. He just had to wait.

Suddenly, Light felt his heart in his chest beat abnormally. His eyes widened as he could feel his heart began to pump blood slower and slower. W-What was going on? Did one of the bullets finally get to his heart? No, impossible. Any of the bullets that Matsuda shot were no where near Light's heart. So it couldn't have been one of the bullets...then...he remembered Ryuk. The Shinigami who had been with him since he picked up the Death Note. No…Ryuk couldn't have…how could Ryuk write his name down?! Light should still have enough time to live. He can't die here and now! Not when the world was still rotten! He tried to fight it, but he was rendered useless. His body ached from the pain and now, he could feel his heart pumping the last few beats. No…this was the end.

Misa would soon know about Light's death and one or two things will happen; she will move on or commit suicide. Probably the latter. And even if Misa does survive, she doesn't even remember anything about the Death Note. And it's not like they will just give it to her. No…this was it…but Light hated to admit it. His face showed it, he knew he lost. And that it was the end for him. He looked up to the skylight to see the sun shedding its last bits of light before night would come. This would be his last sight of that light. This was the end of the road. Nothing he could do can change anything. Once a name is written in a Death Note, that individual's death can never be avoided. By the time anyone finds him, he'll already be gone.

Light looked up in front of him one last time to see someone standing there on the steps. His black messy hair and his baggy cloths…they could only belong to Ryuzaki, or L...the world's greatest detective. Light can still remember how he died. He thought that when he killed L, he would have won. That man was so foolish enough as to go after Kira, only to die. However, Light knew that the reason that L was here was to tell him that he was the fool. He got too cocky which lead to where he is now. And now, chances are L will see to it that Light be taken to where he is to go now. Ryuk had told Light that anyone who uses a Death Note can't go to Heaven or to Hell. So...where was he going? Where would L take him? Light could only imagine as he closed his eyes and drew his last breath. He was going to find out what happens to Death Note users once they die.
