Death Note Fan Fiction ❯ Death Note : Rebirth ❯ Leader ( Chapter 43 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

"This is prepostorous! How dare you name yourself leader of the death gods?"
"I wasn't naming myself as a leader, Suzaku. I was just suggesting that we should have one. I presume you've noticed that our kind's number is constantly growing. We have to keep the others under control. It would be a complete disaster if humans found out about us."
"I know, Misaki" said the oldest death god " but it's not that easy to choose our King. The other death gods won't just listen to anyone we choose only because we say so."
"Exactly, but they would listen to their original King, wouldn't they?"
"What world are you living in, Misaki? He' dead, remember?"
"Unless..."
"Unless what, Misaki?
"You'll revive him again, Misaki?"
"This is blasfemy! I refuse to listen to such nonsense!"
"You can't just revive God!"
Everyone bursted into an outrage.
"That's enough!" yelled the elder at the enraged crowd after which silence surrounded the warehouse.
"What are you suggesting, Misaki?
"We could use the Altar."
"But that would be impossible. You know that-"
"Yes, of course I know, but let me finish. I have a theory that might work. As you could all se in the River of Memories, the Altar of Dehumanizing could only be used to revive humans and death gods that have been killed by Death Notes and for that one death god sacrifice was necessary. But, if you could rebuild the Altar and use a higher number of sacrifices, I believe he can and will be revived."
"Misaki, even if it will work, we can't just sacrifice our own kind."
"Yes, we can. As you all know, there's a rebel group of death gods that call themselves The Followers and that they are supporters of the now deceased Enma. We could use them."
"Yes, you're right. How many would be needed for the ritual?"
"Well, after I completely researched everything and judging by the facts that I have gathered during the last few years from my fellow death gods that have always helped me during-"
"Misaki!"
"What?"
"A number. Please!"
"But what about-"
"Just say the damn number already!"
"Fine, 23."
"What? How can we get so many of them?"
"Ambush."
"Huh?
"Ambush them at the entrance in their meeting grounds."
"We don't even know where that is..."
"As a matter a fact, we do. They meet in the Kawasaki forest once a week at exactly 3 a clock in the morning."
"How do you know that?"
"Does it matter?"
"Not really."
"Very well then. We will do it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"That's when they meet and we need to do this fast."
"Alright then. Misaki, you will lead the team in this mission since you came up with the plan and you seem to know everything about the enemy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure and I think everyone here agrees on that."
"Ok, then. See you tomorrow. My transformation is kind of running out."
"Then we will meet here tomorrow at exactly midnight."
