Lucky Note

Chapter I

New Beginning

The black notebook fell from the sky and slowly began to make its way to the ground. It was slowly falling down outside Ryoo High, a school in the Kanto region of Japan.

Kagami Hiiragi and her friends Konata, Tsukasa, and Miyuki, were holding a riveting conversation.

"Does anyone else think that chocolate cornets look like drills?" asked Kagami holding a cornet in her hand. Tsukasa and Miyuki jumped at the thought of drills after just having a dentist's appointment a few days ago.

"D-drills?" said Tsukasa. Miyuki sat there, a drop of sweat coming slowly down her forehead. "Yeah, they do.", said Konata.

As they continued to talk, the final bell rang. The students then got out of their seats and proceeded to move out of the classroom.

"Let's go.", said Konata as she got up from her seat. "Yeah, Tsukasa and I have errands to run.", said Kagami. As Kagami was picking up her things and placing them in her handbag, she looked over to the window and saw a black notebook falling to the ground.

"Huh?", Kagami said. Her friends were already walking out. "Hey Kagami, you coming?", said Konata. "Hmm? Oh! Yeah.", muttered Kagami. She then began walking with them, taking one last glance back at the window.

As they all walked out the school, they all proceeded to walk to the bus stop. Konata was rambling on about a new anime convention. As they were walking, Kagami said something. "Hey guys? I'll catch up. I have something to do."

They all looked at her at the same time. "Okay, just don't take too long sis. The bus will be running soon.", Tsukasa said. The girls then went back to walking towards the bus stop.

Kagami walked over to the area where the black notebook had fallen. She looked around for a second, then picked the notebook up.

She read the cover. It had the words, "Death Note" written on it in silver ink.

"Death Note? As in a notebook of death?", said Kagami. She slowly opened the notebook and read the inside of the cover. "How to use it. The human whose name is written in this notebook…shall die." She was quiet for a second. She then closed the notebook and placed it back on the ground.

"That's pretty lame, not to mention twisted.", said Kagami as she walked away. As she was walking, she then look backed at the notebook, ran over to it, grabbed it, and put it in her handbag.

She then ran to catch up with her friends. As she caught up with them, they were already at the bus stop. "Took you long enough.", said Konata. "Shut up.", Kagami replied.

The bus then ran at its designated time. They all proceeded to get on the bus.

Everyone was talking except for Kagami. Kagami was looking out the window.

"You okay sis?", asked Tsukasa. "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine.", replied Kagami. Tsukasa kept looking at her for a split second, then continued her conversation with Konata and Miyuki.

Kagami looked down at her handbag, pulled out the Death Note to where only she could see it, and then slid it back into her handbag.

"Please tell me I'm not making a mistake by taking this thing with me…", thought Kagami.
