Death Note: Link to the Past (Part 9)

Rem looked sickeningly down at her Death Note that she held onto, her bone white fingers, skeletal in shape, but not quite so, clenching the notebooks binding. Her eyes narrowed and then closed. "Light Yagami, for you to go to such lengths as to get your way, I must say that even I am surprised."

With her pencil in hand, she opened the Death Note to the first page possible, and with a great hate in her voice, she whispered threateningly, "Know this! You may swear that you love Misa, but to what extent would you go to save her life? Would you give your own life up in order to let her live?" Rem shook her head sadly, "I would think not. For you are the worst kind of human being alive, and are far more ruthless than even a Shinigami could ever think of being."

Looking down at the blank pages of the Death Note she began to scrawl down the first name: Quillish Wammy; cause of death: Heart attack.

And as the first bits of Rem began to crumble away, she quickly wrote down the second of the names: L. Lawliet; cause of death: Heart attack.

The Death Note fell from her hands and landed on the floor, closed, and names hidden from the world. "If these two names are the last ones to ever be written within my Death Note, then I hope you're happy…I hope you get your crime free world…But as long as you still live, there will always be one criminal who remains."

Rem's body began to erode away quicker, and she knew that her time was ultimately limited, so with eyes closed tight, she whispered, "Misa, find happiness in this world."

Her words faded away just as the sirens sounded outside the doors where she had stood.
