Death Note Revised

Justice's Blade

Chapter 1: Letter and Shocking News

The sounds of the morning were almost maddening, the sounds of footsteps of many people, honking horns from impatient drivers, cell phones ringing, engines roars in the sky from flying planes that flew overhead, and chatting people, it was so constant and a everyday thing that is was enough to make you want to just scream. All these things happen are heard everyday, almost like a routine, almost like everything was programmed to be this way. A boring life of the same thing.

"Miss. Higurashi" came the voice of the teacher, blinking a few times. Eyes hidden behind a pair of black tinted glass turned to look at the male teacher that held a book in one hand was looking at them with almost scolding look. When the person saw his pupil turned to him he spoke calmly, though strictly "would you mind telling us how the case was identified as a suicide?"

Some of the students snickered while other just stared at the person who sat at the side of the classroom near the window seeming to be in their own little world, I mean they couldn't blame them, school was a real snores Ville. The person stared at their teacher before closing their eyes and gathered up the information they needed to answer the teacher's question.

"The reason was concluded or identified, as suicide by one evidence that belonged to the victim; other evidences found would have proven that the case was homicide and that the victim's ex-wife's husband was pointed as the murderer. A journal, not just a journal for notes as some people would think, but a journal that held all the victim's thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, and even plans and goals. One of the investigators found it in the victim's room before they turned in the ex-wife's husband was turned in for the murder of the victim and at the end he found a little letter like note. It spoke of how the 'bastard' as he says, stole his heart and he will soon get it back and get rid of the strings that hold it."

The teacher's scolding strict expression instantly eased up into a bright smiling face "very good! Now…" the teacher's voice was droned out as the person turned their attention to the world behind the glass window. It was completely boring; everything seemed like a repetitive cycle, day in and day out. Letting out a soft sigh, the person turned their attention back to the teacher who was speaking all the things they already knew since they were twelve years old.

Later on that day the bell rang, alerting the students that it was the end of the school day, students started to file out of the huge school building onto the school yard. Some went to their after school activity classes while others just wandered around talking to their friends.

A lone person slowly walked upon the path that lead to the exit of the school, never once did the notice the wanton looks they were receiving from the male population as they passed by or the nasty looks and huffs from the females, if they did, they showed that they didn't care at all.

The sun was slowly setting down from the horizon making the skies look a bit darker and more shadows to appear. The street lights turned on one by one lighting up the dark streets for it would be easier for drivers to see as they drove around. The sounds of the population was minimum now, less talking, less ringing, less plane engines roaring overhead.

The sound of the door sliding open the sliding shut caught the attention of a middle aged woman who was happily cleaning the dirty dishes in the kitchen. Turning off the faucet she dried her hands on her white apron as she walked out of the kitchen to the hallway where she saw the lovely child, she smiled warmly "welcome home Kagome, how was your day?" she asked curiously. The person, known as Kagome, placed her shoes down then put on a pair of light pink slippers "eventful" they answered simply, as though it was a normal occurrence, which it was.

Mentally sighing they passed by the woman "I'm going to relax for a bit, please don't disturb me" "alright sweetie, do you want anything?" "No" the person said as they disappeared up the stairs.

The lights in the room flickered on as the person closed the door behind them then threw themselves on the bed; they let out a tired sigh, before rolling over on their backs for they could stare up at the ceiling.

'How many months has it been since the time of excitement and evil passed away, five six? …Yeah, six months must be correct' another sigh escaped the person's light plumped lips. A knock came to the door bringing the person out of their thoughts, turning the head to the door they called out to the person on other side to come in. The door opened and the middle aged woman poked her head in the room "ah, I'm sorry to bug you sweetie, but I just remembered that you received a letter from your Aunt."

'Aunt?' "I have an aunt?" "Oh yes, it would seem that your mother had a sister though never spoke of her" the woman walked into the room and gave the letter that was in her hand to her. Kagome inspected the letter intently as though trying to see through it at the paper within it, the woman saw that Kagome was deep in though and decided to leave her alone. Kagome ignored the sound of her mother leaving the room and continued on staring at the letter within her hand.

The thought of having an aunt was weird, especially without her knowing it, turning the letter to the back she ripped the seal flap off and took out a folded piece of paper. Unfolding it she lifted her hand and glided it over the paper, she noticed the neat feminine writing, no doubt from her aunt, slowly reading she sucked up all the words like water.

Dear Niece,

Now I know this must be a surprise to you that you have an aunt or that your mother has a sister that you never knew about. I heard so much about you from your mother; I heard that you are quite an inspirational thinker and that you have already graduated high school and already in college right now. That is amazing, especially how young you are, my son, Light, is preparing for College right now and is a complete genius, he's seventeen, about two years older than you if I'm correct…Oh look at me, I'm going off track. Well I spoke to your care taker and have heard that it was now time for your winter vacation, I was just wondering if you wanted to come over here and stay with me and my family for a while. Just to get to know each other.

I think my daughter, Sayu, would love to meet you also have another female in the house; she's fourteen years old and is an energetic girl. Well anyways, if you ever consider coming to stay with us for a while our house address is right in front of the letter. Now it is time for me to say goodbye since I have to go cook dinner now.

Sincerely,

Sachiko Yagami

"Sachiko" Kagome whispered to herself, she lifted her hand and traced the lettering lightly, her heart suddenly started thumping as though she was nervous and excited at the same time, maybe anxious. Pulling her finger away the feeling went away immediately as though it never happened 'hm, I just might consider it, maybe.'

Folding the letter back up she put it back in the envelope and looked at the address before throwing it over to the side where her desk was. She closed her eyes, listening to the sound as the letter landed on her desk and hit a pencil or something.

Kagome was not as social as she use to be when she was fifteen years old, now she was now an antisocialist, though she spoke if it was necessary to do so. She stopped hanging out with her friends, finally got rid of Hojo, which she thought would never happen, but it was a miracle that he doesn't bother her anymore. She was a master in archery, swordsmanship, and guns, also other weapons. Her miko power surpassed even Midoriko's powers also she tapped into some new unknown powers that made her even more powerful, though she didn't really care.

Her grandfather died in his sleep not too long ago and she has taken liberty as to be the Shrine Priestess, it was not like she had anything else in mind like being a doctor, lawyer, CEO of a business. All those things seem so insignificant ever since her adventures in the feudal era which gave her a thrill in life, but now that she can't go back to it, well, she didn't know what to do, especially now that the one thing that gave her a push to things was murdered months ago.

Knock, knock…

Kagome looked up and turned her head towards the door "come in" she said happily, the sound of the doorknob turning and the door opening told Kagome that the person was entering the room. She heard soft thumps of footsteps then silence, the silence was long, no voice was spoken, this caused Kagome to frown, yes she was blind, it was a sacrifice she had to make long ago, but she never regrets making the sacrifice. Standing up out of her desk chair she walked over to where she heard the person soft breathing. Lifting her head she touched smooth skin and felt a brush of short wavy hair which she instantly recognize as her mother "Mom? What's the matter?" she asked softly.

Her mother did not answer, this was starting to worry Kagome greatly, she grabbed onto her mother's shoulder and shook her a bit "Mom!" she shouted urgently "what's the matter, what's wrong?" she stood there waiting for her mother to reply, but she received none. "Ma…" the words from her lips was cut off when her mother just suddenly dropped to the floor with a loud limp thump. Her hands suddenly felt cold and wet; bringing her hands towards her face she sniffed her hand attentively 'copper?' she felt panic rise up in her throat, quickly dropping to her knees she shook the motionless body that was her mother "Mom, Mom! Mom move, please move, Mom?!" she kept shaking her mother for what seemed like forever, after a while her shaking slowly stopped until she was not shaking her mother's body anymore.

She felt the hot tears pour down her face as she weakly nudged her mother's body "mama" she said in a brokenly weak voice. She suddenly heard loud thumping footsteps like someone was wearing boots, though she didn't remember anyone in her family that wore boots, her brother Souta…'Souta!' she thought in panic.

"Hello sweetheart, long time no see" came a deep masculine voice that made Kagome's whole body freeze up with recognition and fear, but also rage. Memories of a man beating the life out of her flashed in her mind, heightening her rage even further than it was only moments ago. Slowly and unwavering, Kagome stood up off the ground, never caring about the cold chills that blew against the wetness of the blood that soaked her legs and hands.

She heard the vile person make a small click sound with their tongue. "Oh, look how beautiful you've become, you're beauty surpasses even a goddess" they cooed, this made Kagome narrow her eyes. "Where's Souta?" she asked in the most emotionless voice that if she were in the dark you wouldn't know if it were a boy or a girl. "Aren't you going to say hello to your…" "I asked where my brother is father" she said darkly, a voice that would have made Naraku want to become a saint.

The room was silent, no one spoke, there was not one sound that could be heard, just pure silence, that was until the person made a noise as though they were thinking "hm, if my memory serves right, I think he was hanging around somewhere" the person chuckled maliciously. At the sound of this Kagome snapped, her aura flared and her powers cracked and snapped violently all around the room, she felt something uncurl and sprout out from her shoulder blades and heard a strong flap sound.

The darkness from her vision brightened and she could see the person as clear as day in front of her, she saw his shocked and horrified face, but she didn't care, this person is the second from worse than Naraku, probably even the first. Raising her hand she curled her fingers a bit as though she was holding something and a white handle hilt and pure silver steel blade sword appeared in her hand.

There was a whitish vine like design that went down the middle of the sword all the way to the hilt, but on the center was an ancient kanji that said "Justice's Blade" and on the other side was another ancient kanji that said "Pure". The person stumbled back one step as the light from the setting sun shined down on the blade from the window behind Kagome.

"You're time here on this earth is over, God's voice speaks and he say, Justice shall and will be served" in one great leap, Kagome was flying straight towards the man that was her father with the sword raised up high. The last thing that was heard a loud scream and the hums of the sword's blade.

Ring, ring! …

Click "hello?"

"We have another one" "I'll be right over" Click.

"WHAT?!" came two shocked voices, "what do you mean, we're having an old sibling coming over, and a cousin, since when did we have a cousin?" "Yeah, I don't remember having a cousin" a fourteen year old girl interjected.

A woman who looked to be in her early thirties sighed "calm down you two, now yes you have a cousin, I never told you because I thought my sister…" "Wait, sister?" "Yes, now stop interrupting, my sister never told me she had a child. But I soon found out when I received a letter just a few months ago, it told me that she had a daughter named Kagome that is being taken care of by a middle aged woman. Also a little boy, though she never said anything in the letter about him."

"Kagome, huh? How old is she? What is she like? What kind of movie does she like? Does she have a boyfriend? Is she gothic or punk? What grade is she in? What school does she go to?" the fourteen year old started asking quickly, never giving the woman a chance to answer any of the questions. "Sayu" a man cut in, the fourteen year old girl looked at him then looked down "sorry" she mumbled, the woman giggled a bit. "Yes Kagome, she is sixteen years old, about to turn seventeen in a couple months or so, I'm not quite sure. I don't really know what she is like, she likes all kinds of movies, minus Romance, her mostly favorites are mystery, horror, action, some comedy, and so forth. No, she doesn't have a boyfriend; she's not gothic or punk, though she is a Shrine Priestess or temple, though that's all I know from what I'm told about her in the letter. You can ask her what grade she's in when she get here. Oh! There was also another thing about her, she's blind, so don't make her feel bad or say anything that will make her feel bad about it, understand?"

The teenaged boy sitting next to the fourteen year old girl made a hum sound as though he was thinking "so technically she's handicapped" the woman looked at the boy "yes, now do make her feel welcomed when she comes" "when is she coming?" the boy asked. The woman thought for a minute "I'm not quite sure, when she does, I guess, and when she does" "we give her a big warm welcome!" the girl said happily, the woman smiled then nodded "yes" "well its getting late and I think it should be good to head off to bed" the man said as he stood up from his seat. Everyone agreed and said their goodnights before they headed off to their rooms to get some sleep.

The boy was lying on his back on the bed staring at the dark ceiling thinking about what he was just told only moments ago. 'A cousin, Kagome, I wonder how she's like, Heh, I bet she's one of those shopping crazed girls' with that final though he turned on his side and closed his eyes.
