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... "
