Joshua didn't have a lot to do, having no friends in the summer vacations was tough. But he lived 17 years that way, so he was used to it. He decided to go on walk for a little bit.
When he arrived in the park there it was, the black sketchbook with the words "Death Note" in the cover. Joshua grabbed it and looked around. No one was there so he grabbed it and continued is walk.
When he got home he looked inside the book. The book was a list of some neighbors who had died in that weekend because of a weird disease. The book also explained the symptoms. Could this be a doctor's book? But why would the title be Death Note?
"Better leave it here for a while" Thought Joshua.
His mother started calling him for dinner so he leaved it there till the next day.
The next day he woke up with a noise. A big red monster was right in front of him. "Oh, did you wake up already?" The monster asked him.
"W-What are you?" Asked Joshua, trying not to scream with fear.
"Oh sorry, I'm a Shinigami, the former owner of the Death Note."
"Y-You can take it b-back, ju-just leave me alone!"
"What? No! It's yours now. Don't worry, I will not try to take it back. But I'll be around, to see how you behave. By the way, I'm Irikitua, Kitua to friends."
"I-I'm Joshua…"
"I think we will be good friends!"
"Hum…anyway, I don't think you can be here, my mother wouldn't like to have a monster in the house." Joshua was getting less afraid of Irikitua, because he didn't seemed to want to kill him or cause any problem.
"Im not a monster, im a shinigami, that means that im a god of death. And don't worry, only the ones who touched the death note can see me."
"Oh, I see. So, you're going to help me?"
"Yes, I'm going to teach you how to use the Death Note."
"What is the Death Note, anyways?"
"The Death Note, is a notebook that has the power to kill the person who the name is written in the notebook."
"Wait! That means that the disease was caused by the former owner of the notebook?"
"Yes, but don't you worry, he is dead. Killed himself."
"Why?"
"He just couldn't take the blame of killing those people."
"Well, I don't want this! Take it back!"
"You don't have anyone you want to eliminate?"
"Of course I…don't."
"You don't seem very sure of yourself."
Joshua was bullied is hole life by some stupid kids gang called "Over 13". He hated them with all is life.
"I do not wish death to someone."
"Hum hum…, well, let me just stay here till tomorrow, I don't like that much of the shinigami world. This place is better."
Joshua though about a little bit, if no one was going to see him he guessed it couldn't harm anyone.
"Ok, but tomorrow you go to your world with your damn Death Note."
"Sure!"
"I'm going to walk around the park." Said Joshua leaving the house. He noticed that Irikitua was right behind him. No one was looking at him, so he guessed that the monster was telling the truth about no one seeing him.
In the park he heard a scream. Joshua run it the direction of the noise and he saw a guy fighting a woman, the guy had a gun.
"Give me your money!" Said the guy
"No!" Screamed the woman.
"Then you leave me no choice!" The guy shoot her took the purse and got away.
Joshua called the cops and run to catch the guy.
The guy was hidden in some rocks, and Joshua got behind one.
"I wish I knew the name of the guy! Then I could give him a rightful punishment!" Said Joshua.
"Philip Smith" Said Irikitua.
"How do you know?"
"I just know…write it if you want!"
Joshua got home quickly and wrote the name on the notebook.
"I hope you're right!" Said Joshua to Irikitua
"Don't worry, let's see the news tomorrow."
Joshua went to sleep, that was a weird day. But it was only the beginning.
