It was a normal day. Mizawa had somehow managed to get a bunch of guys to stare at her in pure addolation...again....All I could do was laugh and pretend to be happy. What I really wanted was to hurry home and finish my homework.
When I finally got home, I worked my calculus on the kitchen table after dinner, and afterwords, I went and watched a bit of T.V. I wasn't into the who watching usless T.V. stations, so I simply flippped to the news and wated the reporter drone on about nothing. After a while I was tired and ready to sleep on the couch itself.
Kaori wouldn't hear of it though, and she rushed me off to my own bed. After some time living with her alone, I had come to the understanding that Kaori did everything she though of and that everything she thought of was either for the house or me. I had to atleast give her that.
As I lay in bed, I heard Kaori pouring a glass. I really do need to set her up with a date soon....I can't have her be alone when I go off to college.....or if....I were to leave the world before then.... I thought to myself.
The doctors had long since diagnosed that my lungs were deteriorating, and each year my astma got worse. It was only a matter of time even with the medicine.....
Let's see.... I flipped open my cell phone and speed-dialed Mizawa. She answered quickly as if she had been anticipating the call to action.
"Oh you silly Rem," Mizawa laughed. "Of course I'll help you."
After talking with Mizawa, I rolled over in bed and tried to get to sleep.
January 28,2023
I sat up in bed quickly my hand moving up to my speeding heart. Shock tears were running down my cheeks. I tried to catch my breath but my nerves were on edge.
"Just a dream....just a dream...." I said to myself.
Suddenly a knock hit my door.
"Come in," I said catching my breath.
Sis walked in looking somewhat suprised.
"Remu are you planning to sleep a school day away?" Kaori asked.
My eyes darted to the callender.
"Today's Saturday," I answered to my own relief.
"Hey are you ok?" Sis asked.
"I had another dream," I answered. "About Dad....and Mom......and...."
Kaori was sitting on my bed in an instant. Her hand was on my shoulder. I shook invoulentarily.
"Sis...."
The Bone Snatcher: This Is A Two Part Post... O.O I Relized That When I Was Typing It Up If I Had Kept It All As One Post It Would Have Ended Up Being A Book .____. So I Thought I'd Make It A Cliff Hanger >:3

So It Is Written... And So Shall It Be... ~ SK
At 12:01am On January 28th Nearly 50 Criminals Around The World Had Dropped Dead In Their Cells Of Heart Attacks... One Could Only Assume That KIRA Was Behind It All... And I Could Prove It... With My Own Hands... I Had The Power To Show Them Now... The Power That Light Yagami Had... KIRA's Power Was Now My Own... But There Was Only One Problem...
" Who Should Be Punished First... " I Thought Aloud... " I Could Find Those Three Men From The Ally... Surely They Deserve To Die For Their Crimes... "
I Started To Flip Through The Death Note Mrs. J.J. Had Left Me More Then A Week Ago... I Had Read And Reread The Rules Almost A Dozen Times But I Still Could Not Understand Why She Didn't Want Me To TEST The Note Book... After All I Would Haev To USE It At Some Point Would I Not? Her Words Echoed In My Head...
" This Note Here Has Rules Just Like A Game, The Very First Rule Sounds Like This “The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Note Shall Die.”, The Human Who Uses The Death Note Will Never Go To Heaven Nor Hell, He Will Struggle For Eternity In The Abyss, The Guy That Was Killed On TV... That Was To Test The Death Note, To See If It Really Works, A Stupid Thing To Do... "
" Why Was Testing The Death Note Such A Bad Idea?... I Could Call Her But... No... I'll Just Take A Walk And Forget About It For Now... "
I Closed The Death Note And Carried It With Me To My Room... There I Set It Down On The Bed Beside Me, Got Dressed And Then Headed Out The Door...
" Oh There You Are I've Been Looking For You " A Voice Called Behind Me As I Was Locking My Door... It Made Me Jump And Drop My Keys So I Turned Around To Show I Was Alittle Annoyed...
" Hello Mrs. Kiamari... Come To Collect From Me Or Something? I Already Sent You The Rent Money... "
Mrs. Kiamari Was My Foster Mother... She And Her Husband Had Adopted Me When I Was Young But Never Gave Me A Name... Only A Number...
" You Know You Could Just Walk And Give It To Us In Person You Don't Need To Send Two Hundred And Eighty Dollars Through The Mail "
" I Know That But You Know That I Won't Because You Live Exactly Nine Blocks Away From Me... " I Picked Up My Keys And Turned To Lock The Door Again...
" Honestly Nine Blocks Isn't All That Bad... "
" It's Not The Walking That concerns Me It's The Number... "
" Oh You And That Silly Superstition I Mean Really How Can You Hate Your Own Number? "
I Sighed And Looked Down To The Floor... Nine... That Was The Number They Had Given Me... Because I Was Their Ninth Child... Aparently The number Nine Was Supposed To Be Good Luck In Their Familly But I've Never Had An Ounce Of Luck With It.. So I Never Called Myself That... I Was Just Nameless... I Remember I Had Run Off One Day To Find My Real Parents Only To Discover That They Wanted Nothing To Do With Me... And In The End My Real Mother Ended Up Dieing And My Father... As Far As I Know He Commited Suicide, Blameing Me For What Happend To Her...
" I Told You That Number Is No Good... It Never Brings Me Any Luck It's A Curse " I Scofed As I Finally Managed To Lock My Door... " You Really Need To Replace These Locks Mrs. Kiamari... "
" Well You Can Tell That To Your Father... "
" Really I'd Hardly Call That Man A Father... "
" Now Now Be Nice He's Tried Very Hard To Provide For You "
" Hmph Sure He's Tried Hard To Provide Me With A Life That Sucks And A Job That Doesn't Pay... Speaking Of Which He Owes Me Almost Three Hundred Dollars So Why Am I Still Paying The Rent? " That Last Comment I Had Ment To Keep Silent But It Slipped Out And I Could See The Look On Mrs. Kiamari's Face Change To One That Read " Mind Your Tongue "... " Never Mind Forget It " I Started To Head For The Stairs
" So Is That A Good Book? "
" What? " I Looked Down At My Hands... The Death Note... I Had Taken It With Me Out Of Habit... I Hadn't Left My House In A Few Days And I Took It Everywhere Throught The House With Me... " Oh Uh.. It's Just A Little Note Book I Bought A Few Days Ago For Groceries That's All... " I Needed To Think Of Something Quickly... How Could I Get Her Attention Away From The Note Book...
" Oh You're Going For Groceries Are You? Why Don't You Give Me The List And I'll Go Get Them For You I Have To Stop By The Beauty Parlor On The Way Home Anyways "
" No No It's Fine I'll Go I Need The Air Anyway "
" You Always Make Such A Fuss About Things Just Let Me Have The List And I'll Go Get Them For You "
" No Really It's Fine I'll Do It "
" Are You Sure? "
" Mother Please "
She Was Silent For A Moment... I Never Really Called Her Mother I Always Called Her Mrs. Kiamari... I Only Ever Called Her Mother If I Was In Need Of Something...
" Alright If You're Sure " She Walked Off After Kissing Me On The Head And Started Knocking On The Doors Of Every Appartment Claiming The Rent As She Did Every Month... I Sighed Again And Rubbed My Arm On My Head Out Of Habit And Headed Down The Stairs Again...
" I Can't Believe I Brought The Death Note With Me Like That... " I Shook My Head And Tucked The Note Into The Back Of My Pants And Pulled My Black And White Pin Stripped Work Shirt Over It... " That'll Have To Do Untill I Can Get A Bag To Put It In... " I Walked Down The Street And Hopped The Bus Down Town... I Roamed Around Alittle Before I Stopped In A Store And Bought An Over-The-Shoulder Pack To Slip The Note Into Before Someone Saw It... At Least Now It Was Concealed Alittle Better... " Maybe I Should See Mr. Kazuma To Get That Damned Laptop Back... It Might Not Look So Strange For Me To Carry Around Such A Large Bag If I Had It With Me... What The Hell Did He Need It For Anyways? He's Not Even In Japan Anymore... " I Had Sent My Laptop Off To A Friend Because He Needed It But That Was Almost A Year Ago Now And I Hadn't Heard Anything From Him In Awhile...
I Decided To Stop At A Cafe For Lunch And To Think Things Over Before I Made Any Rash Moves... I Sat Down At One Of The Small White Tables With My Drink And Sandwich And Listened To Everything Around Me... I Could Her The Highschoolers On Their Lunch Break Hovering Around Their Studies And Talking About Little Nothings As They Always Did... I Ran My Hand Through My Hair Hand Sighed... " Can't Believe I Brought It With Me... " I Was About To Take A Drink When I Heard A Familliar Name...
" Come On Kentaro Lemme See The Picture! "
" Kentaro... " I Whispered... I Turned My Head And Saw Three Men Walking Down The Street... It Was The Three Fro The Ally That Night...
" Back Off Jero I Ain't Done With It Yet... " Kentaro Smacked His Friends Hand Away...
" Jeeze Jero What The Hells Amatter With Yea Huh? " The Other Seemed To Be A Follower...
" That One Must Be Taka... " I Quickly Put Names To All Of Them... The One Holding The Picture Was Kentaro Hisaki, The Shorter One Trying To Get The Picture Was Jero Hikari And The Other Was Taka Sunuchi... " So You Decided To Show Yourselves In Public Huh... Makes My Job Easier... " I Glanced Down That The Bag Hanging Off My Side Then Just Acted Natural As They Walked By... But
" Hey Don't I Know You? " It Was Kentaro... " Yeah I Know You! You're The One I Gave That Good Knock Out Punch To Back In The Ally! " He Laughed And Sat Down At he Table With Me While Jero And Taka Stood Behind Him...
" Oh? I Don't Recall Being Unconcious... " I Said Annoyed...
" Ha! What'sa Matter I Hit You So Hard You Get Brain Damage Or Somethin? " I Silently Drank My Coffee And Just Looked At Him " Yo I'm Talkin To Yea Pal "
" Oh I'm Sorry I Didn't Relize You Were Still Sitting There... "
" Don't Mess With Me I'm Sitting Right In Front Of You! "
" I Was Distracted By Thay Beautiful Girl Over There " I Pointed To A Small Girl With Long Brown Hair And Blue Eye's... The Same Looks As The Other Woman They Had Killed... Kentaro Looked And Was Immediatly Quiet... He Was Obviously The One In Charge Of It All...
" Hmmm... She's A Real Looker Ain't She... "
Filthy Bastard I Thought To Myself... Probably Turned Him On
" Heh... Watch And Learn Pal " Kentaro Got Up And Walked Over To The Girl... They Were To Far Away For Me To Hear But Whatever It Was That He Tried It Obviouly Failed... The Girl Smacked Him And Walked Off... I Looked At Her As She Left And She Waved Giving Me That Slight Wink... I Just Ignored It And Finished My Drink...
" Well Now That Was A Bit Harsh Now Wasn't It? "
" The Hell With You " He Shouted And Marched Off " Let's Go Guy's We Gotta Date Tongiht "
I Watched Them All Leave... " Yes... You Have A Date Tonight And I'd Hate For You To Miss It... "
28th January 2023 Saturday
Kira had returned yet the world went on as usual. Even though Father promised to go shopping with me and Cookie, an urgent phone call last night made him arrange a meeting with an old friend. so we decided that we would go shopping anyway.
We took the train to our favoutrite shopping centre. We walked throughout the shops looking at dresses and skirts and all other girly accessories. As we walked through the shops arm in arm we got much attention. We were half asian, half caucasian. Asian on our mothers side, Cauasian on our fathers. We had natural blonde hair with pink highlights in them and light skin.
Cookie's stomach growled around lunch time. I laughed at her until my stomach growled as well.
"Time for lunch." we both said to each other.
As we arrived at the food court and tried to find a seat 2 gentleman came up to us. One was wearing a bisiness suit and held a breifcase, his black hair sleeked back and his eyes covered by sunglasses. The other was completely oppisite. His blonde hair was long and held back in a ponytail. he wore boardshorts and a hawaiin shirt and upon coming close to us he lifted up his sunglasses to reveal friendly eyes that were a dark brown.
"How cute, Have you EVER seen two school girls THIS cute." He said to his fellow.
"............"
"Your right Shigure, they should be on TV." at the words TV, me and Cookie squeezed each others hands
"ohhh how rude am I??" He said hitting his forehead. "My name is Hatori, this is Shigure, " he said pointing to the silent figure behind him, "i'm part of the board commity at a TV station nearby.... And now that i have seen you two girl my dream has finally been realised." he said, me and Cookie could almost imagine him in a manga with stars in his eyes.
"What is your dream?" we said in unisone, which made him smile even more.
"My dream is to direct a TV show called Sakura Television, where we have two CUTE hosts to tell everyone about the news... but in a more CUTER way."
"WE CAN DO THAT." We had both gotten excited, we were to be on television as the hosts of a television show.
"Ohhhh, did you hear that Shigure they said YES." he began hopping up and down and We joined him.
"NOw, girls.... what are your names?" he said becoming sliaghtly serious.
"I'm Arisa,"
"And I'm Kakuru."
"But you can"
"call us,"
"Rice and Cookie!!" we both said as Hatori looked on.
"Ohhh, this is PERFECT, Shigure, Is this not PERFECT."
"We must meet with your parents to ensure that you are..."
"Yes, yes, Shigure. Enough with the formalities.. Your going to kill their dream.. Now, is it possible We can meet with your parents tonight for dinner so that tomorrow we can start SAKURA TV."
"YEAH."
We rushed home and told our parents. Father was proud of us yet he seemed taken aback by the name Sakura Tv... like he had heard it before. But he accepted to meet and after having dinner with Hatori and Shigure it was decided. Sakura Tv was go, we would host the television show. We would be news brocasters, weather predictors and the host of a chat show all in one.
This day could have been no better. Kira was back and would be punishing the wicked, wqe would be telling about his deeds and nothing could be better about today... except if the sun had come out once today. but then again as we had walked into the resturant the sun had peeped out from the clouds as it set, making the evening sky glow a gentle pink before darkness became of the night.
YES today could never have been any better

Arisa
YAY Sakura TV!!! if anyone remembers Sakura Tv was the channel that was the main control of Misa Misa-chans messages while she imperinated Kira.. hehe, FUN
The Bone Snatcher: Quick Note... =-= I Aplogize For The Length Of This Post But I Felt This Was An Important Part In SK's Character Development... Once Again Much Thanks To Quiet Noise For Your Part In The Colab ;D Lookin Forward To The Future Posts Together
___________________________________________________________________________
One Week Ago
I Headed Back To My Appartment. J.J Walked Behind Me Pretty Much The Entire Time... I Could Feel Her Looking At Me But I Just Kept My Mind On The Deal She Had Mentioned... When We Arrived I Opened The Door And Invited Her In...
“ Nice Place You’ve Got Here, Comfy And Safe Too...” She Said While She Looked Around... I Held My Hand Out Inviting Her To Sit On The Couch From Where I Stood...
“Please, Have A Seat.”
“ No, Thank You, I Think I’ll Stand... I Can Not Stay In One Place For Too Long But, As For You... What I’ve Got Prepared For You... You Really Need To Sit Down.” She said...
" Very Well... " I Looked At Her Curiously But I Stayed Where I Was And Leaned Against The Kitchen Counter Over-looking My Livingroom...
“ Here It Is...”
I Watched Her Put A Notebook On The Table Next To The Remote And Some Magazines I Had Failed To Return To The Rack Beside My Chair... It Looked Like An Ordinary Book Without Anything Written On The Cover... Then She Spoke Again
“ This Is What Your Lord KIRA Used To Make Justice.”
I Sighed Alittle Disappointed...
“ A Notebook? ”
“Yes, But This Is No Ordinary Note... It’s A Shinigami’s Notebook... A Death Note.”
I Almost Burst Out Laughing... A Notebook Of Death Seemed Like A Childs Game Not An Instrument Of Justice...
“ This Is Madness... It Can Not Be Possible...”
“ What Is Impossible? To Believe That Shinigami Exist Or That There Is Such A Simple Way To Kill...” She Asked
“ Both... ” I Said With A Smile... She Smiled Aswell...
“ This Note Here Has Rules Just Like A Game... The Very First Rule Sounds Like This “The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Note Shall Die.”, But I Must Warn You Before You Use It... " When She Said She Must Warn Me I Narrowed My Eye's And I Could Feel My Body Become Tense... " The Human Who Uses The Death Note Will Never Go To Heaven Nor Hell, He Will Struggle For Eternity In The Abyss... A Shinigami Will Tell You This Only After You Use It, Because That Is In Their Advantage, But I’m Not That Kind Of Person... ”
I Just Stood There And Said Nothing... I Could Feel The Hair On The Back Of My Neck Stand On End... But Not From Fear... No It Wasn't Fear At All... It Was Excitement...
“ It’s True, All I’ve Said, Trust Me, So Please Don’t Make The Same Mistake As Your Lord KIRA Did And Test It... ”
I Chuckled Alittle At The Thought Of The First KIRA...
" Is This A Standard Look For The Death Note? "
“ Most Of The Death Notes Are Black... ”
“ Why Is This One Red?”
“ Because It’s Special... " I Raised A Brow And Looked At Her Skeptically " Well Not Really... It Has The Same Effect As The Black Ones, Only It’s Red, That’s All... Oh.... And Every Death Note Has An Original Owner, That Is A... ”
“ Shinigami... ” I Added, “ So... Are You A... ”
“ No! ” She Said Before I Could Finish, “ I Don’t Like Being Mistaken With One Of Those Creatures, I’m No Shinigami Nor A Goddess... I’m An Observer... Much More Better Then A Shinigami... ”
“ So You’re Not Human Either, Right? ”
“ The Body Is A Human’s Body, But I’m Something Else Within This Body... ”
“ So Where Is The Real Owner Of This Death Note? ” I Asked Trying To Chage The Subject Alittle...
“ I Don’t Know, This One Is From My Lost & Found Shelf. ”
“ The Shinigami Lost It Or Did You Steal It From Him? ” I Looked At Her Suspiciously...
“ He Lost It!! ” She Shouted...
I Winced At The Sudden Turn In Her Voice...
“ You Don’t Have To Shout... ” I Was Alittle Annoyed Now... And It Was Obviously Showing...
“ Gomen Nasai... Onegai Shimasu... Last Night Was A Very Rough Night And Today Isn’t Very Good Either... Except For You... ”
" It's Fine... " I Didn't Quite Understand What She Ment By Except For Me... But I Payed No Mind To It For Now... “ Do You Want Something To Drink? A Glass Of Milk Maybe?” I Asked Calmly...
“ Milk? ” She Seemed Shocked...
“ You Don’t Eat Or Drink Either? ”
“ Oh... I Do, I Do, But You Caught Me By Surprise With Your Hospitality Yami... Do You Mind If I Call You This For Now? "
" Not At All... Please Continue " I Turned And Walked Into The Kitchen And Warmed Up A Glass Of Milk...
" A Shinigami Won’t Tell You Too Much About The Note And Other Stuff, You Have To Ask Them Every Time, They Just Stay Close By You, I Mean The Death Note, And Wander Around With You Until The Day You Die, But I’ll Answer Any Question You Have, Of Course They Would Too, If They Knew The Answer " I Could See An Evil Smile On Her Face When I Brought Her The Glass, Which She Nearly Finished Before I Even Had A Chance To Pick Up The Death Note To Examin It... “ The Man, That Serial Killer Who Died On TV... What’s-His-Name... ”
“ Takamura Natsushiko...” I Said Alittle Angered At The Thought Of That Beast...
“ Yeah Him, He Was Killed By A Death Note... ”
My Eye's Lit Up And A Wicked Smile Stretched Across My Face...
“ I Knew It! I Knew That Wasn't An Ordinary Death... So Is KIRA Back? ”
“ No, He Is Not Back, Because KIRA Is Dead! ”
That Just Confirmed My Thoughts Of A New KIRA...
“ What Was Lord KIRA’s Name? Did He Have One? Was He Murdered? Or Did He Die Of Natural Causes? ” I Just Spat Out One Question After Another... She Seemed To Sob With A Sad Tone To Her Voice...
“ Too Many Questions... Yes Your Lord KIRA Did Have A Name And His Name Was... Yagami Light And Yes He Was Killed... By People That Didn’t Understand Him... ”
“ F.B.I?... Police? Who? ”
“ Yes... And Some Others... ”
“ Is There A New KIRA Chosen By Him? ” I Had To Ask Even Though I Could Confim It Myself...
“ I Don’t Think This New Death Note Owner Should Even Be Called KIRA. ”
“ Why Is That? ”
“ The Guy That Was Killed On TV... That Was To Test The Death Note, To See If It Really Works, A Stupid Thing To Do, But Since That Day That Person Has Not Written A Single Name. ”
" When Do You Think The Death Note Should Be Used... "
“ I Think We Should Wait, At Least Until The 28th Of This Month... ”
“ Why That Date? ”
“ Because That Is The Day Your Lord KIRA Died... 10 Years Ago... I Don’t Know If The Owner Knows, But I Still Wanna Wait And See... You Should Wait To... If You Want... I Guess She Saw Me Flipping Through The Note With Interest So I Closed It And Looked At Her... " Lord KIRA And The Second KIRA Knew Each Other And Collaborated, But You Don’t Know This KIRA And I Don’t Want Chaos And Confusion... And I Don’t Want You To Get Caught And Killed... I Don’t Wanna Lose You As I Lost Light... " That Last Comment Struck Me As Alittle Odd So I Stayed Silent Unsure Of What To Say... “ If Something Happens To You Call Me! I’ll Help You, If I Can, With Everything I Can, But If You Try To Use Me I Will Kill You. ”
" Even As Far As To Kill Me Huh? Fair Enough... " I Turned My Attention Back To The Death Note Then Placed It Back On The Table... I Looked Back At Her... She Was Looking Out The Window Now And Seemed To Be Thinking About Something Though What I Had Not The Slightest Idea...
“ It’s Getting Late... I Think It’s Time For Me To Go. Remember If You Ever Want To Know Something About The Note, Do Not Hesitate To Call Me. ” She Started Towards The Door... I Caught Her By The Wrist At The Last Moment Just Now Remembering I Had No Way Of Contacting Her If I Should So Need To Ask Her About The Death Note... Or The First KIRA...
“ But Wait! ” She Turned Back And Blushed Alittle... “ How Can I Reach You? ”
Seemingly From Nowhere She Gave Me A Card With A Number On It: 6686 – 0128 “ A Perfect Number... It Has No 9 ” I Thought Aloud...
“ Only You Can See These Numbers. Call Me From A Public Phone Or If It’s Urgent Call Me Form Your Mobile Phone, This Number Can Not Be Traced, But The Conversation Can Be Heard By Someone... So Be Careful Please. ”
” Of Course... But What Happens If The Real Owner Comes And Claims The Note? ”
“ He Or Another Shinigami Can Have The Note ”
“ But What About Me? ”
“ Calm Down, You’ll Get To Keep It, The Shinigami Will Become The Original Owner ‘Cause Every Death Note Has To Have One, But He Can Not Take It From You, He’ll Just Escort You Everywhere You Go... If He’s The Type, If Not He Will Just Wait For You At Your Place Or Wherever You Keep The Death Note... Where Yhe Note Goes, He Goes... ”
“ But What About The Other People, How Will They React When They See Him? ”
She Laughed... “ Foolish Boy... " Foolsih Boy? I Thought To Myself... I'm Certainly Much Older Then That... " Only You Can See It... The Others... ” We Were Interrupted By Her Mobile Phone... I Winced At The Rather Loud Ringtone As She Excused Herself And Answered... “ Yes, What Is It?... She Said It’s Ok, So Monday We Go To School By Train And Walk... I Hope The Weather Get’s Better ‘Cause I’ll Freeze In That Short Skirt From The Uniform... No, No. I Won’t Change My Mind... Yeah, Yeah, Bla, Bla Bla... Ja Bye-Bye! ” She Looked Back At Me And Said “ I’m Sorry For That. ”
“ No Need To Apologize... ” There Was An Awkward Silence... “ You Go To School? ”
“ Yeah... So What? ”
“ Nothing... Where? ”
“ Why Do You Ask? ”
“ Nothing Important, I Just Want To Know... Just In Case... ”
“ Kagura...Kagura Gakko...”
“ The Music School? ” I Was Alittle Shocked...
“ Yeah, Why Is That Weird? ”
“ I Don’t Know... A Person Like You... I Can Not Imagine You In A Music School... Well... To Be Honest I Can Not Imagine You In Any Environment... ” She Laughed Before Speaking...
“ I Must Go Now... You Can Let Go Of My Wrist Now... ” I Let Go Even Though My Mind Said No... “ Read The Rules Of The Note And I’ll See You Later, Ok? ”
“ ... " I Looked At Her Silently And Nodded My Head Though I Must Have Looked Very Distant...
“ Ok, I’m Off... ” She Walked Out The Dorr And Down The Stairs... Then I Felt The Need To Run After Her So I Bolted Down The Stairs
“ Wait! ”
“ Yes?... What Is It Yami? ”
I Stood There For A Moment Silently...
" It's Nothing... I Justed Wanted To Thank You... "
She Smiled Warmly
“ Do itashimashite. ”
I Watched Her Leave Before Going Back Upstairs To My Appartment... I Closed The Door And Leaned Against It Looking At The Red Notebook Sitting On The Table...
" A Death Note... An Instrument Of Justice... "
I Walked Over To The Table And Picked Up The Magazines Putting Them In There Rightful Place And Sat Down On The Couch And Turned On The T.V. To Watch The News...
" So Lord KIRA... Your Name Was Light Yagami Was It? Hmmm... Not Really The Kind Of Name I Would Expect For A God... If You Could Even Call Yourself And The Second That... "
My Attention Turned Back To The Death Note...
" A Week Until KIRA's Death... Don't Test The Death Note... " I Picked It Up " Well Now New KIRA You Best Hurry And Make A Move... If You Don't Then I Will... "
Present Day, January 27th 2023: One Day Before The Anniversary Of Light Yagami's Death
As Of Tomorrow Light Yagami... The First KIRA... Would Have Been Dead For Ten Years...
" So My New Lord KIRA When Will You Be Making Your Move... I Would Hate To Have To Steal The Spotlight Right Out From Under You... "
I Had The T.V. On The Same News Station The Whole Day As I Went About My Business... I Sent Off The Money I Owed My Foster Parents For Rent... They Owned The Building I Lived In Which Was The Only Reason I Stayed Here... I Cleaned The Appartment As I Always Did Before The 29th Of A Month And Occasionally Stopped To Watch What Was Going On With The News... I Had Finished Everything At About 8:30pm When I Finally Sat Down And Relaxed... I Must Have Fallen Asleep Because When I Woke Up It Was Midnight... I Could Tell Because The Accursed Grandfather Clock My Neightbour Had Always Went Off And Woke Me Up At Midnight... But Tonight I Would Be Thankful For It... The Reporter Had Just Been Handed A Note And Looked At The Camera In Shock...
" This Just In... At Exactly 12:01 This Morning Nearly 50 Prisoners Held In Facilities Around The Globe Died Of Heart Attacks...
My Heart Skipped A Beat... 50 Criminals At Once... This Surely Was The Work Of KIRA... A New KIRA...
" So... It Was You KIRA... You Have Finally Made Your Move... "
I Started To Laugh Hysterically...
" Well Now This Is Certainly A Suprise... Funny To Think That You Would Wait Until The 28th Of January To Make A Move After Your Little Stunt With Takamura... Such A Grand Entrance... Yes I Can See Now That Even If Light Were Still Alive This Could Not Be His Handy Work... There Is Something Far Different About You... "
I Looked At The Death Note Still Sitting On The Table Where I Had Left It...
" So It Is Written... And So Shall It Be... "
I Smiled Wickedly At The Thought Of All This...
" Yes... KIRA Has Made A Grand Return And Now The Second Will Make A Move... I Can Only Assume That's How The First Two Got Eachothers Attention... So How Shall I Go About Getting Yours I Wonder... Ha! No Matter... With This Death Note I Can Punish The Cruel Beasts Calling Themselves Human... "
I Hold The Death Note Up And Walk To The Center Of The Living Room
" And I Will Punish Them As The New Second KIRA... "
Saturday evening...one week before the 28th January
While we were walking towards his apartment I has a chance to look at him better...he was a very well made young man, I think in his 23 years old or may be younger, the black and red of his hair was very extravagant. I like the way he was walking. I think he’s going to be perfect as a KIRA. I said to myself. When we arrived he invited me in.
“Nice place you’ve got here, comfy and safe too.” I said while I looked around. He invited me to sit down on the couch...
“Please, have a seat.”
“No, thank you, I think I’ll stand...I can not stay in one place for too long, but as for you...what I’ve got prepared for you, you really need to sit down.” I said.
"Very well..." he looked at me and stayed where he was.
“Here it is.” I put the note on the table next to a remote control and between some magazines. It was a Death Note with nothing written on the cover. “This is what your Lord KIRA used to make justice.”
“A notebook?” he said disappointed.
“Yes, but this is no ordinary note, it’s a Shinigami’s notebook...a Death Note.”
“This is madness...it can not be possible...” he said
“What is impossible? To believe that Shinigami exist or that there is such a simple way to kill...” I asked
“Both...” he smiled, I smiled too.
“This Note here has rules just like a game...the very first rule sounds like this “The human whose name is written in this note shall die.”, but I must warn you before you use it, the human who uses the Death Note will never go to Heaven nor Hell, he will struggle for eternity into the Abyss. A Shinigami will tell you this only after you use it, because that is in their advantage, but I’m not that kind of person...”
He just stood and said nothing.
“It’s true, all I’ve said, trust me, so please don’t make the same mistake as your lord KIRA did and test it...”
“Is this a standard look for the Death Note?” he asked
“Most of the Death Notes are black.”
“Why is this one red?” he asked.
“Because it’s special...well nor really...it has the same affect as the black ones, only it’s red, that’s all...oh....and every Death Note has an original owner, that is a...”
“Shinigami...” he added, “So...are you a...”
“No!” I said fast not to let him finish his sentence, “I don’t like being mistaken with one of those creatures, I’m no Shinigami nor Goddess...I’m an Observer, much more better then a Shinigami...”
“So you’re not human either, right?”
“The body is a human’s body, but I’m something else within this body.”
“So where is the real owner of this Death Note?” he asked
“I don’t know, this one is from my Lost & Found shelf.”
“The Shinigami lost it or did you stole it from him?” he asked very suspiciously.
“He lost it!!” I shouted.
“You don’t have to shout...” he said, obviously annoyed by my way of answering...and I noticed that immediately.
“Gomen nasai...onegai shimasu. Last night was a very rough night and today isn’t a very good either...except for you.”
“It’s fine...” he reply, “Do you want something to drink? A glass of milk maybe?” he asked my very calm
“Milk?” I repeated
“Or you don’t eat and drink either?”
“Oh...I do, I do, but you caught me by surprise with your hospitality Yami...do you mind if i call you like this for now?
“Not at all...please continue” he said and then went to the kitchen and warmed me up a glass of milk.
“A Shinigami won’t tell you too much info about the Note and other stuff, you have to asked them every time, they just stay close by you, I mean the Death Note and wander around you until the day you die, but I’ll answer any question you have, of course they would too, if they know the answer *I smiled evilly*” I said then I drunk half a glass of the warm milk he brought me. “The person, that serial killer who died on TV...what’s-his-name...”
“Takamura Natsushiko...” he added
“Yeah him, he was killed by a Death Note.”
“I knew it! I knew that wasn’t an ordinary death...so is KIRA back?”
“No, he is not back, because KIRA is dead!”
“What was Lord KIRA’s name? Did he had one? Was he murdered? Or did he died of natural causes?”
I sobbed with a sad feeling in my voice.
“Too many questions....Yes your Lord KIRA did had a name and his name was...Yagami Light and yes he was killed by people that didn’t understood him...”
“F.B.I?...Police? Who?” he continued asking
“Yes...and some other more...”
“Is there a new KIRA chosen by him?” he asked
“I don’t think this new Death Note owner should be even called KIRA.”
“Why is that?”
“The guy that was killed on TV...that was to test the Death Note, to see if it really works, a stupid thing to do, but since that day that person did not wrote a single name.”
“When do you think the Death Note should be used?” he asked me, a very intelligent question I must say...
“I think we should wait, at least until the 28th this month...”
“Why since that date?”
“Because that is the day your Lord KIRA died...10 years ago...I don’t know if the owner knows, but I still wanna wait and see...you should wait to...if you want. Lord KIRA and the Second KIRA knew each other and collaborated, but you don’t know this KIRA person and I don’t want chaos and confusion and I don’t want you to get caught and killed I don’t wanna lose you as I lost Light... I thought aloud *silence* “If something happens to you call me! I’ll help you, if I can, with everything I can, but if you try to use me I will kill you.”
“Even as far as to kill me huh? Fair enough...” he said
I looked outside at the city...now in my mind was a lot of fuss...so many plans to make, things to take and more to do...I could feel someone watching me...this feeling haunted me since when...yes, since that dream I had last night, now I could feel him too, looking at me...
“It’s getting late...I think it’s time for me to go.” I said while looking at the window. “Remember if you ever want to know something about the Note, do not hesitate to call me.” While I was about to get moving.
“But wait!” he caught me by my wrist and I blushed ‘cause it took me by surprise. “How can I reach you?”
From nowhere I gave him a card, there it was a telephone number: 6686 – 0128
“A perfect number...it has no number 9” he thought aloud
“Only you can see these numbers, call me from a public phone or if it’s urgent call me form your mobile phone, this number can not be traced, but the conversation can be heard by someone...so be careful please.”
“Of course...but what happens if the real owner comes and clams the Note?” he asked me
“He or another Shinigami can have the Note”
“But what about me?”
“Calm down, you’ll get to keep it, the Shinigami will become the original owner ‘cause every Death Note has to have one, but he can not take it from you, he’ll just escort you everywhere you go...if he’s the type, if not he will just wait for you at your place or wherever you keep the Death Note, where the Note goes, he goes...”
“But what about the other people, how will they react when they’ll see him?”
*I laughed* “Foolish boy...only you can see it...the others....” I was interrupted by my mobile phone that was ringing loudly, he winced too, I excused myself and answered. “Yes, what is it?...she said it’s ok, so Monday we go to school by train and walk...I hope the weather get’s better ‘cause I’ll freeze in that shirt skirt from the uniform...no, no I won’t change my mind....yeah, yeah, bla, bla bla....Ja bye-bye!” I looked at him and said “I’m sorry for that.”
“No need to apologize...” *silence* “You go to school?”
“Yeah...so what?”
“Nothing... Where?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Nothing important, I just wanna know...just in case...”
“Kagura...Kagura Gakko.”
“The music school?” he added surprised.
“Yeah, why is that weird?”
“I don’t know...a person like you...I can not imagine you in a music school, well to be honest I can not imagine you in any environment...” he said, I laughed loudly, then I said
“I must go now...you can let go of my wrist now.” he let my wrist go gently, but in a way like he didn’t wanted to, like he did it only because I said so... “Read the rules of the Note and I’ll see you later, ok?”
“...” he was very quiet.
“I think I gave him a lot to think about.” I said to myself, “Ok, I’m off...” I said trying to brake the silence.
While I was going down the stairs i heard someone coming down too, quickly.
“Wait!” he said
“Yes?...what is it Yami?”
“It’s nothing...I just wanted to thank you...” he said, that remark put a warm smile on my face.
“Do itashimashite.”
Outside the building Minami and Higashi were waiting for me at the car parked somewhere near, while I was approaching Minami asked before taking a last smoke:
“So? How did it go mistress?”
“So far, so good.”
“Is he the one mistress?” he asked me very curious
“I can’t tell you that right now...because I don’t know either...” I said
“hm...what are you gonna do if he is not the one?”
“Simple...you’ll get rid of him...kill him, but I hope it won’t come to that.” I sobbed
“I wouldn’t like that to happen...” said Minami
“I hope so...”
“Ojosama....it’s getting late...we better go...” said Higashi obviously disturbed by the subject.
“Yes, let us do that...”
