Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.
A/N: This is my first fanfic obviously, don't know how it will turn out, but I have to dedicate the whole story and it's outcome to Sarahface(shadow-of-a-demon) and Sam(XbuttonsX).
I couldn't help it any longer. I felt the need to kill. Pen in hand, the notebook sitting next to me on my bedroom floor, I decided to create an even better world. I would kill all wrong doers, no matter how small the crime. Looking back, I don't know why I didn't think of this in the first place. It was brilliant. The world would only be filled with the purest of souls and nobody could stop me. Even with L and the whole task force trying to foil me, they would never succeed.
"Uh, Light?" Ryuk broke the silence.
"What is it Ryuk?" I asked a little frustrated, really wanting to get back to my thoughts.
"I was just wondering why you always just sit and stare at the Death Note with that blank expression. What are you thinking?" Ryuk asked looking a bit confused at my hostile retaliation from before.
"I don't know Ryuk. Why does it matter to you anyway?" I asked, still frustrated and a bit annoyed that the Shinigami wouldn't just leave me alone.
"It's just not much fun. I dropped the Death Note for fun so that I could have a bit of entertainment in my long life," Ryuk responded thoughtfully.
"The fun is coming Ryuk, you just wait," I replied and sighed deeply.
I got up and walked down the stairs to the kitchen to get Ryuk an apple so then maybe he would shut it. I returned to my room, tossed the apple to Ryuk, turned my back on him and sat on the floor once more.
Ryuk could get rather annoying quickly, although he might be able to help in my killing less publicized criminals. All I needed was the Shinigami eyes. Then I could see the names and life spans of everyone. But that was craziness. Half my own life span? For what? A perfect world? Exactly. This is a battle I fought with myself almost everyday, if only I had a way to know my own life span before I made the deal. Could a Shinigami be tricked? It was worth a try though, wasn't it? Not really. The thought frightened me too much. Maybe a bribe? No, that would never work, stupid Shinigami rules! Shinigami are so complicated. Humph.
"Ryuk, can I ask you something?" I asked noticing Ryuk had finished his apple.
"Sure Light, what's up?"
"Well, I was just wondering the rules on Shinigami….love?" I asked frightfully. Maybe he would understand more than he should.
"Oh, umm. Shinigami don't really love, there are exceptions of course. But Shinigami aren't supposed to fall for humans. Their love is forbidden."
"Oh, why is that?" I asked a little disappointed.
"Well humans are usually afraid of Shinigami and vice versa. You wouldn't believe the amount of Shinigami terrified of the human world."
"What? Shinigami afraid of humans?" I gasped and just barley got the words out.
"I know what you're thinking, how could they be afraid of something so beautiful and, well, interesting. I don't know, but I think I could be the exception to the rule of Shinigami falling for humans," Ryuk said shyly.
A/N: So input? Anything? I'd like to know for future reference. Thanks :) More to come. Just temporary mind loss.
