The Shinigami World

"You know, all we ever really do is gamble. That's what we've spent the last era doing so anyway, and you know what? I don't even think we're getting any better."

"And your point is?"

"Nothing ever changes."

"This is the land of the dead. It's not supposed to change."

"Hrm…"

"Why would you want it to anyway?"

"I'm a curios person."

"Curious? What does that have to do with anything?"

"I dunno, there's just nothing to this world."

"If you don't like it then stop writing names in the death note and just die already. Then it'll change."

"I just mean this lifeless world is dull, not that I'm particularly fond of life. I'm just curious is all."

"Life and curiosity are the same thing. Death doesn't change."

"…"

"If you're curious then why don't you go stalk a human like Ryuk did."

"A human? What kind of human?"

"A boring one."

Zellogi, lacking a left hand was an ugly Shinigami. He wore a feather headdress resembling that of a Native American, and a hook sticking out of his left arm. He stood there staring into some sort of orb looking into the human world as he noticed a young man, complaining as he walked to school. "I'll think I'll go with this one." Zellogi said as it traveled to the human world by incomprehensible means.

"Ugh, I have to walk up this hill again." said a high school boy as he climbed up a rather large hill, appearing to be traveling to school. "You'd think by now I'd become accustomed to this, but it's so hot out."

"Here he is." Said Zellogi, the Shinigami from earlier, as he flew down to the boy.

He dropped a black notebook down on the hill a few feet away from him.

"…did that just fall from the sky?" the boy, asked no one.

"Oi, Kyon! Did you see that too?" said two other high school boys as they ran up to him.

"Uh, my life is strange enough, I don't need this nonsense." Kyon said to himself. He then turned around to the other two boys. "No." He kept on walking.

"What?" screamed the Shinigami, only no one seemed to have noticed.

The two other boys then walked over to the notebook that the Shinigami had left on the ground. The smaller one of the two bent down to pick it up. As soon as he touched it, he felt a rush through his body. He looked up and screamed. The Shinigami had been two inches away from his face.

"Don't worry. He can't see me, Kunikida. Only you." the Shinigami said.

"How, how do you know my name?" Kunikida asked scared half to death.

"I'll take that." Zellogi said as he grabbed the notebook from Kunikida's hand and flew away.

Kunikida stood frozen out of panic.

"Hey, what was that?" the other boy asked.

"Don't tell me you didn't just see the monster there, Taniguchi?" Kunikida asked.

"C'mon kid." Taniguchi said as he kept on walking up the hill. "I didn't see anything."

The bell had just wrung, ending the day, and there was barely anyone left in the classroom except for Haruhi and Kyon.

"Let's try this again, shall we?" said Zellogi said as he entered the classroom. He had been watching Kyon, and decided that this would be a good time to pass along the notebook.

All of the sudden, the notebook appeared on Kyon's desk.

"Huh? Oh, not this again." He said.

"Not what?" Haruhi, who had been sitting behind him, jumped up and asked.

"I don't want Haruhi getting involved in this or I'll never her off my back." Kyon said to himself. "Oh nothing." He said as he grabbed the notebook and hid it under his blazer. He looked up and froze when he saw the Shinigami in front of him.

"Stay calm, stay calm, and it will all go away." He said.

"What is it?" Haruhi asked. "Kyon, your making no sense."

"Ha, Haruhi. Look in front of me." Kyon said. The Shinigami smiled.

"I don't see anything unusual. Unless, do you see something? What do you see? Is it a ghost? Are you being controlled by an alien trying to communicate with us? What what?" Haruhi asked excitedly as she leaned forward.

"Uh, I think I'm sick." Said Kyon.

"Ugh, Kyon you're so lame. Why would an alien ever want to abduct you?" Haruhi started to mumble.

"Shinigami Zellogi, at your service." The Shinigami said. "She can't see me. No one can see me. We'll discuss this on your way home from school, Kyon."
