Author's Note:

Hello everyone! Thank you for clicking this story. I hope you would enjoy reading this novel!

About this novel:

This fan fiction is based on the anime series and some points from the Death Note movies. This will contain some romance here and there but it will be very little. The storyline will concentrate with the Kira investigation. If you are up to some romance, suspense, crime, mind games(?), surprises and epic then I guess you and this fic will be in good terms.

I would like to add this is not yaoi.

Disclaimer:

I do not own Death Note, the geniuses Ohba-san and Obata-san does. (How I wish I did.)

Happy reading everyone!

PROLOGUE

The night is already getting deep. A few more hours and sunrise will soon come. What is she doing?

No, I scold myself.

No need to be impatient. I look at the dimly lit bulb of my small cell. I know she is already on the move to bail me out. I'll just need to wait for a little longer.

I squat down and let myself be entertained by my bare feet. After a few moments, I hear knocking. I shift my head to my right, settling my vision to the small window beside the door of my small cell.

I let out a smile, a maniac smile I suppose as I see the jail guard raising the keys. One of them is absolutely the key of my cell. He points at the door, clearly stating he is going to unlock it. I stand up and move my way to the door. I hear a soft click and followed by opening of the door.

I look at the young man beside the jail guard with my usual cold and cautious eyes. He looks exactly like me, even his gestures and carriage is very similar to mine. Perfect.

The jail guard looks at us in disbelief. "Wow. The two of you look exactly alike. Even I cannot tell your difference."

I smile. "That's the great thing, correct?"

He nods in triumph. "Looks like everything is going smoothly as planned."

"Of course it is. We can't waste any more time. Where is she?"

"Just go straight and turn right and you'll be seeing a door straight ahead. She's waiting outside that door."

I nod. I pat the head of my replica like he is a pet dog. "Do your duty well."

He nods.

"And as for you," I look at the jail guard. "In roughly five minutes, you will be having your well-deserved rest. Sweet dreams." After saying that, without even giving the guard the chance to reply since I could see the confusion in his face, I run, leaving the two of them.

As I reach the intersection, I turn left, just as the guard had directed. I see the door not far away from me.

Freedom is mine! Take that, L!

No, I can't laugh yet. Not here. Someone might hear me and everything that my sister has planned will be ruined. I can laugh all I want after we make a reasonable distance from this prison.

I push open the door and for a very long time, I see the world once again. Dark as it is since it is night but I can feel the breeze through my thin cell clothes and breathe it in.

"Aniki." I hear a familiar voice calling coming from below. My little sister. I see her standing on the flat ground after a short flight of stairs, holding the very thing that I have been looking for the longest time.

I climb down the stairs and find myself in the awaiting warmth of my sister. I wrap my arms around her, showing back my affection to her.

"Aniki, I'm so glad," she sobs.

"Shh…" I cooed, stroking her soft brown hair in comfort. I pull us apart and look at her directly in the eye with warmth, contrary to my cold ones. I wipe away a tear from her cheek with my thumb and say, "You've done a great job. But we should not stay here any longer. Someone might see us." She nods and together, we run outside the gates and ride the car that has been waiting for us.

I turn on the engine and push down the hand brake. I get on to gear and off we go. Right at that very moment, I laugh. I laugh so hard after that I gasp hard to recover air. Stupid, I know but it is worth it. Simple as that, I've flee away from jail all thanks to the very thing that is at the possession of my little sister.

"What have you written down for the jail guard?" I ask my sister who is sitting at the passenger seat.

She looks at me and gives me a smile. "After turning on the surveillance cameras again, just a little traffic accident so no evidences will be left. I have prepared another tape so that no one would notice the time lapse. Security wasn't as tight as I've expected. I guess the police are careless or just plain stupid. Police these days are not as reliable as everyone thought."

"How about the people that I've told you?"

"I've already taken care of them." She raises an ordinary black notebook with only two letters written on it in silver: Death Note.

"Don't worry, Aniki. I've got everything planned that not even the legendary L would see through it."

"Very good. I know I can rely on you."

I look back on the road in front of me and laugh internally.

I am the one who is going to win this time L now that I have the very thing I need and the one that you hold dear to you. I am now unstoppable! I'll show you what I am capable of and I'm far superior to you.

Your name is next, L.

Watch out for the next scene!
