Chapter 1: The Notebook Of Death.

Pov: Third Person

Mika was sitting in math class staring out the window to tune out the teacher. The wind lightly blowing a tree branch against the window, drawing her attention even more. All of a sudden, the wind stopped. A black book fell out of the sky.

The bell rang signaling the end of school. Mika hurried to her locker, gathered her things, and ran outside. The cool wind was toying with her hair, it was enough to make Mika shudder from the motion.

She sees the book laying right where she saw it fall. Mika slowly pick it up and examine it.

"It appears to be an ordinary notebook. What's got me concerned however is the title. Death Note. An odd name for a small black book." She ponders aloud, like she does when she really wants to solve something. It was one of many traits she got from her father, who was a famous detective.

She grips the notebook like it was life or death, and ran home. She burst through the door.

"Hello Mika. How was your day?" Her father, L, asks.

"I'm fine. Hey dad?" Mika asks.

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me about the Kira case?"

L looks at his daughter in wonder. "Why do you want to know about that case?"

Mika quickly explains finding the Death Note to her father.

"May I see it?" He asks hoping to make sure it wasn't real, not wanting his daughter involved with shinigami. A world of myths to her.

Mika shows the black leather book to her father. A light gasp escapes her father's lips. His eyes scan the cover.

"Mika, don't use this book. Not even once." He whispers.

"Why daddy?" Mika asks, concerned for her father.

"This is the same type of book Kira used to kill all those people. I don't want to have to worry about you doing something like that."

Mika just looks at her father in shock. "Who was Kira?"

"Kira, was someone I thought to be my friend."

"What was his name?"

L sighs, "His name was Raito Yagami. A straight A student. He had a great future ahead of him. Sadly, he had to die all because of that crime."

"Who did Kira kill?"

"Kira killed criminals some FBI agents, and Watarai." L replies solemnly.

"Wasn't Watarai your butler and guardian?" Mika asks. Her father just nods confirming what she already knew.

"I'm going to go to my room to do homework. Okay daddy?" L nods not noticing his pride and joy take the death note off the table.

Mika heads upstairs and locks her door while putting on some music to study.

"This book is tempting. Really tempting." Mika whispers to herself.

She opens up her geometry book and note book to do her homework. Five problems into it she whispers, "One name couldn't hurt."

Mika opens the book her pencil's tip barely touching the page. She quickly writes down this rapist's name. "This creep was never caught and he killed my best friend. He deserves to die." She whispers in a dark voice.

Forty seconds later she receives a text from her other friend, 'Hey Mika! Tartu is dead!'

She blink and reply, 'How?' not knowing that it was her doing.

'Heart attack.' was the response. Mika flips to the rules of the death note.

" 'The name of a person written in this book shall die in forty seconds, if cause of death not specified it will be a heart attack. You must visualize the person or else it won't work.'" Mika reads it aloud. Her pencil drops from her hand to the ground.

"Oh my god! I just killed someone." Mika whisper shouts in shock. She closes the death note. "It worked. Even though I didn't physically kill Tartu, I have his blood on my hands. Oh god, I can't tell dad. He'd flip if he found out I used the death note. Maybe this is how Raito felt."
