Alright, as of yet I have been unable to convince myself this is a bad idea, thank my mental masochism for that. Now, I loved the Death Note manga, it managed to hook me with suspense in such a manner that I felt compelled to finish the series even after I had the ending spoiled and saw my number one fanboyed-over character ever die, horribly defeated only to be replaced with a... you know what, let's just skip that and leave it at the fact that I read Death Note to the end and enjoyed the story immensely.
Now, what is this fic which I intend to tear asunder with all the fanboy rage of a thousand Final Fantasy-flamefests? Light And Dark The Adventures Of Dark Yagami. First up, Dark Yagami? Calling your kid «Light» is one thing, but «Dark» ... seriously? Well, this fic better have a damn good explanation for this silliness. But hey, look at me, already ranting before I've even gotten to the fic, this can't be good. As you might be able to tell, I'm going in blind, so if I by any chance should end up ranting about a plot point that gets satisfactorily explained later, do forgive me, I'm assuming the worst about this one.

Come on, you act as though he's Light 2.0, bearing in mind that nobody said C Kira had the same values as the other "...Note" users; so he wanted to kill both good and evil dudes, so what? It's not as though he was singing the song to end the world, and besides he's old and he could very well have dangerous Alzheimers to excuse his behavior :/.
And, he didn't admit that he used a (royal?) Death Note either, he just said he was going to see the police about a "note" (which is foreshadowing, as he covers up the word "death" later on, in a MAGNIFISENT BASTERD MOMENT!)... in fact, it makes you wonder why he had to cover his mouth and scream "I SAID NOTHHING" anyway... 'cuz I think he could have gotten away, you know, if the bus lady wasn't going to phone L/Dark no matter what he did.
I hold out the hope that D'ark will surprise us and have his suit of armor be tough enough to withstand all the nuclears in the world!
