Shinigami are Gods of Death, that much is certain. What isn't certain is how they came to be. This is their story.

Rating: M for dark themes.
Pairings: Rem x Ryuk, OC x OC and any others I can think of.
Chapters: not decided yet.

A/N: Okay. Yeah this is happening, I'm writing a Death Note fanfiction that focusses on the Shinigami. This is going to be interesting to say the least. Anyway disclaimer, only saying it once, I do not own Death Note or its characters. Only thing I own is the idea to make this story and my ocs that will be in this story. That is all, now on with the story. My nephew Derrick has an oc that will be in this as well.


Rules are there for a reason, right? That's what they tell us, well now like that's what HE tells us.

Most rules don't even make sense, but they're there and we really can't do much about it. Everything seems fine now with them, though there's the very rare times when a rule is broken.

Though there was a time when we first started out and there wasn't any rules. Most of us just wondered how we got here or even why, while others went and did as they pleased. I mean c'mon we were young and stupid so things were bound to happen. Then slowly one by one the rules were being made.

He says they're there to help us. I say they're there to restrain us. But hey, what can I do alone? Nothing. Absolutely nothing, that's what I can do about it.

The question for all of us to decide is; do the keep us safe, or are they there to restrain us?


A/N: this has got to be the shortest prologue I've written by far. Also, I first started this idea sometime last year and have kind of forgot what I planned to do with it... but fuck it! I accept this challenge! Let's just see if I end up making this good or not. See you all next chapter~
