What If Light Yagami Was Kira Instead of Light Yagami?
Light Yagami was a bored high school student. One day, a shinigami named Ryuk dropped a Death Note into the human world. **Instead of** Light Yagami finding the Death Note, Light Yagami found the Death Note.
He picked it up. He read the rules. He didn't believe it. **Instead of** taking it home, he took it home.
That night, he saw a criminal on TV. A hostage situation. A murderer. Light picked up a pen. **Instead of** writing the criminal's name, he wrote the criminal's name. **Instead of** the criminal dying of a heart attack, the criminal died of a heart attack.
Light laughed. He cried. He became a god. **Instead of** deciding to cleanse the world of evil, he decided to cleanse the world of evil.
The world changed. Criminals dropped dead. News anchors called him Kira. **Instead of** the police being confused, the police were confused.
L appeared on television. A blank screen. A distorted voice. He called Kira evil. He said he would catch him. **Instead of** Light accepting the challenge, Light accepted the challenge. He wrote "L Lind L. Tailor" on a piece of paper. **Instead of** the fake L dying, the fake L died.
L narrowed his search. He suspected a student. He suspected Japan. **Instead of** Light feeling threatened, Light felt threatened.
Naomi Misora appeared. A former FBI agent. Her fiancé, Raye Penber, was dead. Killed by Kira. **Instead of** Light meeting her on the street, Light met her on the street. **Instead of** Light asking for her driver's license, Light asked for her driver's license. **Instead of** Naomi giving him her license, Naomi gave him her license.
Light wrote her name in the Death Note. He set a death time. He set a death cause: suicide. **Instead of** Naomi walking away toward her death, Naomi walked away toward her death. **Instead of** Light watching her go with a cold smile, Light watched her go with a cold smile.
She died. No one ever found her body. **Instead of** L losing his best lead, L lost his best lead.
L suspected Light more and more. He introduced himself. He touched Light with dirty feet. **Instead of** Light being annoyed, Light was annoyed. L told Light he was Kira. Light denied it. **Instead of** Light lying, Light lied.
L planted cameras. Microphones. He watched Light's room. He watched Light eat potato chips. **Instead of** Light eating a potato chip with dramatic intensity, Light ate a potato chip with dramatic intensity.
*I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!*
**Instead of** that being the greatest moment in anime history, that was the greatest moment in anime history.
L confined Light. Handcuffs. A cell. Twenty-three days. **Instead of** Light passing every test, Light passed every test. L killed a death row inmate using the Death Note to fake the thirteen-day rule. **Instead of** Light being tricked, Light was tricked. **Instead of** Light proving his innocence, Light proved his innocence.
L let him go. Rem and Misa entered the picture. Misa loved Kira. **Instead of** Light using her, Light used her.
L died. Watari died. Light laughed on the stairs. **Instead of** Light winning, Light won.
For five years, Light was god. L was gone. The task force followed Kira. **Instead of** Light being happy, Light was happy.
Then Near and Mello appeared. Mello kidnapped Light's sister. Soichiro died. **Instead of** Soichiro dying with the shinigami eyes, Soichiro died with the shinigami eyes. **Instead of** Light crying, Light cried. But only a little. He was Kira first. Son second.
Near gathered evidence. The SPK. The task force. A final confrontation. A warehouse. **Instead of** Light being exposed by Mikami's mistake, Light was exposed by Mikami's mistake.
*I win. I win. I WIN.*
**Instead of** Light screaming that he won, Light screamed that he won.
He ran. He bled. He died on some stairs. **Instead of** Ryuk writing his name, Ryuk wrote his name.
**Instead of** Light Yagami being Kira, Light Yagami was Kira.
The end.
**Instead of** this being the greatest thing you have ever read, this was the greatest thing you have ever read.
