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

<< Something is terribly wrong. I really don't understand why this happened. Why did they all suddenly rebelled against me? Have I said or done anything wrong? I highly doubt that. I mean, I am after all their King. Or at least that's what I remember. Have they really lost their memories? All of them? I don't even know what could have possibly caused that. Could there be a virus affecting the death gods? But all at once? I don't think so. I have to find out what's going on but first I have to get out of here. >>
Light was facing only four walls and a door. The room was almost completely dark except for the faint light coming from under the door. Light had ordered the construction of several rooms like this in case they ever needed a place for hostages.
He never thought that he would actually be one of them.
Of course he tried opening the door but it was obviously locked and it was too well built to just run through it. He looked around for something that might prove usefull but the chamber was completely empty. He decided then to try it the hard way.
"Hey! Anyone there?!"
He waited for a moment after which he heard footsteps approaching from the other side of the door.
<< Footsteps? >>
"What do you want?"
"I want you to take me to Suzaku. I'll tell you who I really am and everything that I have done."
"Finally you decided to use your damn brain."
The man then pulled out a key chain from the pocket and started unlocking the door.
<< This is my only chance. >>
When the door was finally open, Light was surprised to see that his only guard was in his human form.
"Ha! This is easier than I thought."
"What? Don't you -"
But it was too late for the man. Light had already punched him in the stomach and he fell to the ground.
<< Good, now all that's left is to avoid the other guards waiting outside. Great... >>
Light proceeded down the hallway and up the stairs leading to the surface. At the end of the stairway there was a locked hatch. Probably the only way out.
<< Damn it, I should've taken his keys. >>
"Looking for this?"
The man was right behind him but this time he was in his death god form, prepared to face Kira. He hit Light and bashed him against the wall but he managed to easily get up and grab the guard by his neck. He then lay him down on the stairs and started punching him until he remained unconcious.
<< Damn bastard. He couldn't just give up without a fight, could he? >>
Light picked up the key from the unconcious body, opened the hatch and got out. When he reached the surface he saw only a few guards, but farther away, towards the Altar.
<< Good, no death gods to stop me. That Suzaku really underestimated me. >>
He looked around carefully one more time, just to be sure and after that he took off since it was night and it was harder to be noticed in mid air.
<< I should get away from the island before they realise I escaped. But where am I supposed to go? This place was my home after all. I have to find out what is causing all of this. Yes. I shall visit Ryuk and Cero one more time. Maybe they can tell me something that I don't already know. If not, then I will have to search for the ansewer myself... >>
