Elle

We arrive, and I step out of the car.

"It's here?" I ask.

"Yes. Are you ready?"

"Definitely. Are you going to come in too?"

"Yes, but I'll just watch. This is it, Elle. You can finally get your revenge for L and Matt."

"Finally. Alright then, let's go." We enter the building. I walk forwards, but the stalker grabs my arm.

"Wait. Look." They whisper quietly. I peek round the corner and see a black haired man with glasses watching through the door. He's holding a black book in one hand and is writing in it with the other.

"Is that a death note? He's going to kill them!" I whisper.

"Don't worry. Let him write their names down. It's all part of Near's plan. Nobody will be killed."

"Alright. If you're sure. So what should we do now?"

"We go in anyway. It doesn't matter if he sees us, he'll just write our names down with the others on the fake page. I'll wait out here for you." We walk closer. The man is so absorbed in his writing the names down that he doesn't even notice us approach.

"Delete, delete!" He mutters frantically. We look at eachother and shrug. He finishes writing the names down, and laughs. It's a slightly crazed sound. Then he spots us.

"Who are you?" He asks, pen poised to write. "What are you doing here?" A voice drifts out from inside.

"Why don't you come in, Teru Mikami?" The person who I'm assuming is Teru Mikami takes one last look at us, or rather at the space above our heads, before scribbling something down in the death note.

"Delete," he mutters and enters the room. We exchange glances.

"I'm assuming that "delete" was for us," I say.

"Probably. He has the shinigami eyes, so it probably was."

"Are you sure Near's plan will work? Because if not we're both going to die in 40 seconds."

"Well, if it doesn't there's nothing we can do about it now, is there?"

"Alright then." I open the door and enter the room.

Teru Mikami is standing there, looking at his watch with a mad grin on his face.

"8, 9, 10..." Then Matsuda notices me.

"Elle! What are you doing here?" I sigh. Matsuda has just revealed my name to everyone here. But then again, I suppose it doesn't matter anymore. The whole task force knows my name, and it probably won't do any harm for Near and the SPK to know it. The only one that wouldn't know is Mikami, and he has shinigami eyes so he would know it anyway.

"Hello Matsuda."

"You must be Elle." I turn round. A white haired boy is crouching on the floor, looking at me.

"Hello. You must be Near." I say.

"Who is she, Near? Can she be trusted?" A blonde woman asks.

"I am reasonably sure that she can be trusted." Near replies. I turn to watch Mikami.

"37, 38..."

"If your plan doesn't work we are all going to die," I say to Near. He looks at me.

"I know. But I am confident it will." Light laughs.

"I win, Near."

"39, 40!" Everyone's frozen for a second. Nobody collapses.

"We're not dead!" Blurts out Matsuda.

"W-w-what?" Stammers Mikami. "Why aren't you dying?" I look at Light. His face is frozen in horror.

"Looks like you've been outsmarted, Kira," I say, smirking. This is it.

"I'm not Kira! There's been a mistake! It's a trap!" Light yells.

"In that case, how come you said "I win"? Give up. You've practically confessed to being Kira already." I snap.

"Rester and Gevanni, get Mikami," Near says. The two men grab and handcuff Mikami.

"God! I tried! I did everything you asked!" He yells. Light ignores him. Mogi walks forwards to handcuff Light.

"Stop it!" He yells, and runs off to the corner.

"You lose, Light Yagami," Near says.

Light claims his innocence over and over again, and each time his wild claims are disproved by someone. Eventually, he gives up.

"Hahahahaha!" The room falls silent as he laughs. "That's right. I'm Kira. So what? Are you going to kill me or something?" A smile spreads across his face. He turns around, not facing us and does something with his watch. I see a small drawer pop out, with a piece of paper in it.

"He's got a note!" I yell, and hurl myself at him, knocking the pen he had just pulled out of his pocket out of his hand.

"Get off me!" He screams. "Or I'll kill you too!" I snatch the piece of paper out of his watch and grab the pen off the floor. Then I begin to write.

Li

He punches me in the face before I get any further, causing me to drop the pen in surprise. Everyone shouting, but I'm not sure what they're saying. I'm too focussed on killing Light Yagami.

"I should have killed you earlier!" He snarled. "Never mind. I'll just do it now instead." He digs his nails into my wrist until I drop the piece of paper, ignoring my attempts to punch him.

"Admit it, Kira. You've lost!" I yell, kicking him as hard as I can. He bends over and gasps in pain, but does not drop the paper or the pen. Instead of beginning a new word, he changes the L to an E and the I to an L.

Elle

I grab hold of the end of the pen, shaking it around so much it becomes impossible for him to write. At the same time, I pound my fist into his face over and over again. He swears, and elbows me in the stomach, winding me. We're right next to the doors now. If Light manages to write my name down, he can easily just run out of the doors and escape. Someone smacks me in the face and I look round to see that Matsuda has joined the fight.

"You idiot Matsuda! That was me!" I yell.

"Sorry!" He grabs Light around the waist and tries to pull him away from me.

"No! He's still got the death note!" I cling onto Light, smacking his hand into the wall.

"I don't care if I have to break all of your fingers, you are letting go of that thing," I snarl. I grab his arm as he struggles to write more letters.

Elle Lawli

"Get the hell off me," he growls. I grab the end of the pen and break it in half. Unfortunately, all that seems to do is get ink everywhere. Luckily the spilt ink obscures the part of my name that Light had managed to write, so he has to start again.

"Matsuda! No!" I hear someone say, and look round. Matsuda is aiming his gun at us.

"Matsuda you idiot, if you do that you'll hit me too!" I yell. Light manages to escape from my grasp while Matsuda was distracting me, and leaps at him, yanking the gun out of his hand.

"Get off me Matsuda!" He yells, smacking Matsuda with the gun.

"I don't care if I lose, I'm dragging all of you down with me!" He yells, and points the gun at me. I run at him, knowing that I'm probably not going to make it in time. But before he shoots, the door flies open and someone in a black hoodie slams into Light, knocking the gun out of his hand.

The hood falls down, revealing long ginger hair.

"Fuck you, Light Yagami! You killed L, and now you're trying to kill my daughter too!"

"Who the heck are you?" Light screams, before getting punched in the face and kicked in the groin. I stare. I never knew my mother could be so ferocious. She yanks the pen and paper out of Light's hand, and begins to write.

"No!" Light yells, and runs for the gun. I throw myself on him.

"No you don't."

"Fuck you! I am not going to die!" He screeches, struggling, and throws me off. I grab his leg, making him fall over. Unfortunately, he also manages to grab the gun. There's a loud bang, and a hole appears in the floor near me.

"Crap!" I yell, and grab his wrist, pointing the gun away from me. Someone runs towards us, and Light attempts to shoot them. Unfortunately for him, he misses.

"Get off!" He punches the man whose name I don't know hard in the stomach. The man bends over, winded, but still tries to put the handcuffs on Light. Light grabs the handcuffs and tries to yank them out of the person's hand, whilst still trying to point the gun in my direction. Realising this isn't working, he tries a new tactic and shoves the man into me. He isn't expecting it, so falls heavily into me, causing me to let go of Light's wrist and fall to the floor. I look up at Light, who is now pointing the gun at Evie. There's a loud bang.

Light cries out and drops the gun, blood trickling down from his shoulder. I grab the gun before looking round, totally confused. Then I see Matsuda. He's snatched someone else's gun and shot Light.

"I trusted you, Light!" He yells. Light snarls, then stops. His face creases up with pain, and he drops to his knees, clutching his chest.

"D-dammit," he gasps, and collapses completely. I stare at him for a second, then look at Evie.

"Revenge... finally." She drops the scrap of paper. Light Yagami.

Her gaze drifts off to the corner.

"Oh. You must be the shinigami." I follow her gaze to see a humanoid creature standing in the corner. I hadn't noticed him before.

"That's me. Ryuk. Now that was what I call entertainment! I actually had no idea what was going to happen there." He says, and laughs.

"You're a shinigami?" I must admit, even after what's just happened I'm fascinated. "Before all this, I never even considered such things could exist."

"Neither did Light here." Said Ryuk. "He thought the death note was a hoax until he tried it out."

"Why did you drop it in the first place?" I ask. "All this could have been prevented."

"Why? Because I was bored. And now it looks like I'm going to have to go back to being bored. It's a shame really, but I was planning to kill Light anyway if you hadn't. It was either that or spend a lifetime in prison with him until he died. Although, if someone else takes the death note, I could stay a little longer..." he offers it to me.

"No thank you. I think we've all had enough of the death note. Anyway, what would I do with it?"

"Kill people and try to become God? That worked for Light," Ryuk suggests.

"But I'm not a psychopathic killer. Sorry Ryuk, it looks like you're going to have to be bored."

"Anyone else want it? No?" Ryuk sighs. "Come on, how about you?" He offers it to Evie. "You've used it once. Surely there must be someone else you want to kill?" Evie shakes her head. Ryuk sighs. "You're all so boring. Bye then." He leaves.

Near walks over to me.

"If what Matt told me was true, you're the daughter of the original L?" I nod.

"And you're the current L?"

"Yes. Now here's a dilemma. Either of us could be L. I could be L because I have had all the training, or you could be L because you're his daughter and are doubtless capable of carrying the role. So may I suggest we share the role?"

"That seems the fairest solution," I say. "That way you wouldn't have done all this for nothing, and neither will I." Near twists a strand of hair around his finger.

"It's going to be strange. I was perfectly happy to share the role with Mello, however he didn't seem quite as keen."

"Oh yes, Mello told me to tell you he hates you..." Near frowns. I laugh.

"Sorry, but that's what he said."

"I can imagine. Alright. I will get in contact when you are needed for our first case together."

"Alright. I shall see you then." I walk back to Evie.

"Are you alright?" I ask.

"Yeah. That was probably the wrong thing to do, killing Light."

"That's alright. It's impossible to do the right thing all the time. Anyway, even if you hadn't done it I would have and if I hadn't done it Ryuk would have. I understand completely, and it was always going to happen."

"Yes, I suppose you do." She stands up. "I suppose we should get going then."

"Yes. Let's go. By the way, I'm L now. I will be sharing the role with Near."

"If that's what you want. Just don't get yourself killed." I smile.

"I won't. Come on, let's go home."

Three weeks later

Ring ring.

I pick the phone up. "Hello?"

"Eryuki, it's Near. I need to meet you, at the usual place. There have been several unexplained killings and we..."

"Alright then. I'll be there right away." I put the phone down. "Looks like my first case as L has started. Wish me luck."

"Good luck," says Evie. "I'm sure you don't need it. I'm sure you'll do a great job." I put my hat on, and head to the door.

"By the way, you never explained this to me." I turn around.

"What?"

"Where did you get that hat from and why do you wear it so much?"

"I like it." I leave, smiling. My chance has come. I'm going to surpass L, and try to make this world a better place. Near and I can do it.

I know we can.

...

WOOOW I'VE FINISHED! I've finished my first-ever fanfiction! (I mean I've finished fanfictions before, but this fanfiction was my first-ever one) *Does a happy dance* Thank you for sticking with me till the end, and for all your reviews and everything!

And by the way, well done to the 37% of people who voted that it was Evie in the poll. You win a cyber cookie if you thought it was Evie.

Also, although I am not planning on writing any sequels about Elle, my little sister (who is known as Luulasnightmares to you lot) asked me very nicely if she could use Elle in one of her future fanfictions, and I said she could. I'm not sure if she's still going to write it, but if she does and you happen to see it, I've said she could use Elle so that's all fine with me :D

Anyway, to everyone, love, peace and lollipops, and bye!
