Over the course of a few weeks, Hitoshi Demegawa could feel a difference in his demeanor. With the power to kill anyone at a moment’s notice, he found his worship of Kira diminishing. Why should he follow Kira as his god when he himself possessed the same power? Yet, as time went onward he found that he thought of Kira as a threat more than anything else. If there was anyone capable of finding out his identity and killing him, certainly the mysterious—almost holy figure of Kira would be the one to do it.
Demegawa did not want to let go of the Death Note though. So he used his connections to try and find out more about Kira. Eventually, he learned of the special task force and managed to apprehend the files detailing who they suspected. To his surprise, he learned that one of their own members was still under suspicion. It did not take him long to uncover the evidence and identity of the man known as Light Yagami—son of the now deceased Police Chief. Now, in the safety of his office, Demegawa paged through the documents he had stolen, growing more and more certain that Lord Kira was one and the same with Light Yagami. He took out his pen.
Elsewhere, Yagami Light felt a premonition of kinds. He and Misa were watching television together in their apartment—part of his promise to spend more time with her. Ryuk lay sprawled on the couch to his left, eating yet another apple. Compulsively, Light pressed his watch to reveal the scrap of Death Note hidden in a compartment within. He had always planned to live a full life as the god of a new world free from evil. But, as an alternative to his original vision, he would be satisfied with someone else carrying on his work.
Now that Teru Mikami was dead, it was dangerous that Light had no enlightened successor should he perish. He looked over at Misa, her innocent face unaware of all that he had kept from her. From inside of himself, he felt a pang in his heart—a seizing in his chest that he had inflicted numerous times but never experienced. Quickly, he snatched the piece of Death Note from his watch and touched it to Misa’s bare arm. Before he died, Light could see the awareness of all that had happened return to her face. She remembered; she would continue his work.
