The red Note...of Death...

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...”
