Ewiituntmay here! ^_^ Hey, new story, Death Note...heheheh, I find myself pleagued by these incessant plots, therefore I must post them, the sad thing...or rather the sad things are 1) I have been having an annoyingly awful amount of problems with my internet and laptop and working together, (I swear they're conspiring against me! .) 2) I haven't even seen or read all of the Death Note anime or manga -_-'. Therefore there are huge gaps in my knowledge of Death Note, I have seen so many of the first few episodes and the last three maybe, and some in between. I have read none of the manga...though I have tried, I just can't seem to find anyone near me who has them, and my fianancial troubles prevent me from owning them myself DX.
This fic will probably only follow a certain amount of the actual plot, I will try to stick to main major events (the ones I know of anyway) and at the same time it will be somewhat AU. I have also tried, meticulously so, to stay in character...and yet I find that L, mostly, is out of character, to me anyway...for that I apologize. So it will and will not be AU...however that works. In any case, enough of my incessant and unnecessary babblings...Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape or form own Death Note or any of the charaters (except my oc's XD)
The clouds aren't heavy enough to rain today…that's good…I suppose. I sat looking up at the clouds, it would probably rain tomorrow or sometime later this week. I sighed, It figures it'd be cloudy on my graduation day.
Hey, my name is Sana Kurokiri, I am seventeen, have waist long red hair, deep gray eyes, am very pale, stand at 5 feet exactly and today I am graduating from To-Oh University…for the second time! I'm a prodigy, or at least that what everyone keeps telling me. My identical twin sister is also very smart, but she just barely entered the To-Oh curriculum.
Okay, to clear some things up, during about second grade, I decided I wasn't going to stay in grade school, it was much too easy, so within the next year I graduated from both grade school and junior high school. Then, within another year, I graduated from high school and entered To-Oh University, a very prestigious college. My sister, Suki, however, decided to stay in the fourth grade, so on and so forth so that she could continue to go to school and hang out with her friends.
Another fact, despite the fact that Suki and I are identical we're very different, (obviously). She has tons of friends, she's very fashion oriented, she's very outgoing and friendly, as well as smart. I on the other hand have almost little to no friends, prefer clothes that are comfortable and preferably are black, I don't really like to talk to other people too much for the fear that I am only bothering them and I am considered a loner because of it.
Anyway, I am about to graduate To-Oh with a Masters Degree in Criminology, with a minor in Engineering, and another minor in Business. The last time I graduated was for a Masters Degree in English - Creative Writing, with a minor in mythology, and another in Art.
My sister's current choices for her first year are no less intense, she has chosen a major in Bioengineering, and a minor in Law. This is quite strange for both of us, because neither of us have decided exactly what we want to do, which is the main reason I stayed to get another Masters degree in the first place. So I am staying for this last semester, mostly just to help Suki get used to college life.
The Dean of the University has only allowed Suki such a difficult choice for her first year because of me, and my 'outstanding learning capabilities'. Of course I had to work a little bit to get him to accept such a thing, I mean Suki is just as capable as I am of learning and earning straight A's, and would probably be second only to me…which she isn't, we're actually on the same level.
Let me try to explain this a bit more, Suki wouldn't really be second, she graduated at the top of her class in every single grade, as did I, the only difference between us is the time we graduated, me earlier by choice, Suki later, by choice. It's fairly common knowledge to both her friends and mine, that in each school we went to, (Suki went to different schools than me so that she wouldn't be stuck in my shadow), our high scores were exactly the same. The reason she didn't take the same classes as I did here at To-Oh, is mostly because she was already learning them, along with whatever she was learning at the schools prior to this. This was her idea of course, and all her friends thought she was crazy for learning stuff like that when it could make it harder for her to learn at the high school level. She took to it just as easily as I did (obviously) and took an fair amount of interest in Engineering, therefore she decided she'd take Bioengineering to learn more.
I'm so proud of her, I know she'd make it easily here, but she insisted I stay here for at least the first few weeks of school, so that way we can say we were at college at the same time…at least for a little while. I couldn't possibly hold it against her, so here I am, waiting for my small graduation ceremony…which the Dean insist I have. I found the mere idea preposterous, I'd rather just receive my Degree and be on my way, without any undue attention, so only when the Dean got Suki involved, did I finally cave in and agreed to let them give me a proper ceremony.
I wouldn't be wearing a cap and gown or anything, seeing as it was too early in the year, and one of my few conditions for having the ceremony, I was thankful for that, it would make it a bit easier for me. I just couldn't get over the absurdity of it though, I would be the only one graduating, because I am so 'different' from everyone else. I managed to convince them to do it after they announce the best scores on the entrance exams though, so I wouldn't be the only one in the immediate spotlight.
Another small fact about me, I'm a high level, class A hacker. My hacker name? Siolfor. But no one else needs to know that.
"Sana, the ceremony is about to start, better hurry and get in there." I looked down at the person who gave a small smile and a wave. I had been slightly startled by the voice, though I didn't show it. I preferred to look more apathetic, I never really found myself too interested in anything.
I sighed and stood, putting my shoes back on and wiped the back of my black sweatpants. I grabbed my bag from the table bench and began making my way to the building they were having the ceremony in. Once in there I was immediately glomped by none other than my (seconds) younger sister, "Suki…"
My face remained mostly uninterested as she finally released me from her death grip, I was fairly used to this after all.
"Sana…Yay. I can't believe you're graduating…again. I'm so proud of you and that you're my older sister!" She started pouring out tears, I merely raised an eyebrow at her and was about to speak when a guy came up.
"Hey, Suki…is something wrong?" I think his name was Light Yagami, Suki's current boy, (or should I say guy?), obsession.
She straightened immediately a bright smile plastered on her face, "Yeah, I'm fine! It's nothing, I was just talking to my sister here…she's actually-"
"Her identical twin, Sana." Suki turned to me, an eyebrow raised at my interruption. I gave her a look that stated she better not tell anyone that I'm graduating, fortunately she understood, most people only would have seen me blinking uninterestingly.
"Yes, of course, Sana Kurokiri! I was just saying how I can't believe we're at college together!" Suki gave a big smile, eyes closed and arm raised at me, in a 'grand introduction gesture'.
"That's assuming you both get in, right?" Light raised his eyebrow at Suki's blatant statement. She froze and looked up in surprise.
"Uh, yeah of course. I mean I'm so glad that we might be going to the same college!" She gave another big smile and did a pirouette, flinging her arms out and grabbing me to steady herself. I simply stood and blinked at her.
"My name is Light Yagami, it's nice to meet you Sana," he nodded at me, a small smile tugging his lips up, "I didn't know you had an identical twin Suki…didn't you two go to the same schools?"
Suki righted herself, "No, we didn't want to be a nuisance to each other so Sana went to different schools than me, which is why I'm glad that we might be at the same school!" I huffed slightly, though it was unnoticeable to the other two.
"Suki, we should probably go sit down. The ceremony is about to start." Suki nodded, overly eager, than waved at Light before grabbing my hand and dragging me off to go sit down. I shook my head at Suki's antics. She still acted much like a child, counteracting my overly mature apathetic state.
Just a few minutes after our sitting down, the Dean began by stating the perfect scores on entrance exams, "I would like to announce, that this year there were three people to get a perfect score on the entrance exams this year. Would these students please come to the podium, Light Yagami, Ryuuga Hideki, and miss Suki Kurokiri."
I could hear whispers going through the crowd, they seemed to double after he said Suki's name. I was hoping it was her own popularity and not people who knew of my going to college here. She gave me a big smile and practically bounced up to the stage. Now it would be my turn, he would call me to the stage before he would let the others speak, then I would say something to encourage the newcomers to try their best. Or at least that's how it was supposed to go.
"Now, before these three speak, I would like to announce the second graduation of a very special girl here at To-Oh. She has just this year, acquired a Masters in Criminology, with two minors, one in Engineering and one in Business. I would also like to congratulate her on her first Masters Degree in English-Creative Writing, and two other minors in her two years before. Miss Sana Kurokiri, please come to the podium." the crowd practically exploded at this, and while heading up to the podium I could see the obvious shock on Light's face. Suki was almost bursting with excitement, so much that as soon as I reached the podium she glomped me again.
"Yay. I'm so proud of you Sana, and for all of two seconds we were going to the same college…wah." Suki started crying, I rolled my eyes and pried her off of me before grabbing my diploma from the Dean, he gave me a warm smile and shook my hand.
"So will you be attending again this year Sana? Or perhaps, instead of as a student you would consider being a teacher?" he gave a chuckle at the last statement, I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"No I don't think so, but if you don't have a problem with it, I will be staying for a another two weeks to help Suki get settled." I stared at him blankly, he shook his head.
"You won't be giving her answers now will you?" he chuckled harder at the displeased look on my face. I had to say the Dean had been very friendly after my first week and a half here, when he finally found out that I did know what I was learning. He had been skeptical of my knowledge when I first came, but when I started proving that I was smart enough to be here he warmed up to me quite nicely, and we often had small debates…which I usually won. I smirked at what he was implying, another small debate before I was no longer officially one of his students.
"Like I need to. That's what you're here for, right?" He gave a bark of laughter than patted me on the back, I stumbled slightly under the unexpected weight. I turned to Suki and gave her a very heartfelt smile, her eyes were slightly red from her previous crying.
"Sana! Congratulations. I hope I can fulfill…or surpass your 'reign of supremacy'." She smirked at me, the sight was just as unusual as my genuine smile.
I returned the smirk as I ruffled her hair playfully, "I doubt it." then I quickly retreated to the doors, I heard her huff and cuss at me as she began fixing her hair.
"You're such an ass." I turned before I reached the door, smirk still plastered to my face.
"I learned it all from you." I winked once and left.
"You brat! You're gonna get it when I get back to the dorm!" I could hear the Dean give a bark of laughter at our antics. He and Suki were already starting to be good friends, from the few encounters where I was trying to convince him, for Suki, to let her take advanced classes.
I laughed gently as I walked down the hall and out the front doors. I spotted a table nearby and decided I'd watch some more clouds. So I went over and set my bag down, took my shoes off, hopped on top of the table and laid back. I had plenty of things to think about, most of them about my life after college this year. I still wasn't sure what I was gonna do once the two weeks were up.
I knew I'd have to leave the dorms so I'd need a place to stay, and I definitely didn't want to go back to mom's house. I had already burdened both my mom and aunt enough. I wanted to go out on my own, and I was capable enough to do so…I just wasn't sure what kind of work I wanted to do.
I'm only seventeen, I graduated from To-Oh twice, I am capable of learning much more should I decide to…I figured a lot of places would be glad to have me work for them, I had already received quite a few offers at prestigious companies already, even for executive positions. I was known for my advanced math classes, and was a very good economist, despite the fact I hadn't gotten any math related degrees, other than Engineering.
I figured the Dean had probably made this fact known, letting the others know of all my potential. I didn't mind, he was a pretty cool guy, once you got past the fact that he was the Dean of To-Oh University. I shook my head, sitting up, it wasn't doing any good thinking about my problems. I watched as the students came flooding out of the building, as well as other buildings, it was lunch time.
My stomach gave a small growl reminding me of the fact. I huffed a little, but didn't move from my position. I pulled my legs up onto the tabletop and folded them so they were crossed (crisscross applesauce XD). I watched Suki come out, she was surrounded by a huge group of students. I rolled my eyes, it figures she'd be popular on her first day here. Light Yagami wasn't too far away from her either, I seen him ask her something and she replied.
I rolled my eyes again and grabbed my bag, I opened it and dug around for a second before successfully pulling out a small sketchbook and a mechanical pencil. I set my bag back down on the bench, opened my sketchbook to a clean page and readied my pencil. I sat with the book on one knee, then looked up at the sky as I thought about what I wanted to draw.
I looked back down to the page and was about to start when I seen someone out of the corner of my eye. I looked up at him and tilted my head as he asked, "May I sit here?"
A/N: Hope ya like it...if any of it is confusing at all apologize and feel free to message me, hopefully I'll be able to clear it up...see ya
