Ryuk stared at the infinite darkness around him. "The realm of nothingness? '', he questioned. "Why do you suppose Scath sent us here?''

"Isn't it obvious?" Him responded from behind. "He wouldn't send us anywhere if we couldn't be used in plotting his rule in the physical realms. Why else would he bother?"

"And no one can hear or see us in an area such as this one", another creature spoke. "It is the perfect place to conduct a scheme.

Four giant eyes, glowing bright red, appeared before them.

"With the exception of Ryuk , all of your statements are correct. However, that is only the surface of what I have in mind for you four."

"Us..four?", Ryuk asked. "But there's only-

"Sorry I'm late"

The shinigami turned around. Standing in front of him, right before his eyes, was Light Yagami. He didn't look quite the same, though. His hair was a bloody crimson, and his skin was dull and grey. Death was in his eyes. You could say that his true colors were finally showing.

"Since when were YOU apart of this?", Him scoffed. "You're not one of us."

" He is now," the death god corrected. "You see, after I wrote his name in my notebook, we made another deal.

I could have a second life, if I spent it as a shinigami", Kira explained. "The deal was organized by Scath himself, so of course he will reap the benefits in the bigger picture.

"Really now? ", Him smirked.

"Well, well, what a pleasant surprise. With your intellectual abilities, the third creature stated.

"Perhaps", Trigon continued, "but for now your tasks are separate from his. I want you to drop your note books in three different paces at the exact same time" His eyes turned to Light. "And I have a special task for you"

Torrington Academy, Quebec

"Come on, Martin! Could you at least help me with SOME of the books?!, Diana whined, struggling to keep a hold of them. School was about to start, and they still had quite bit of ways to go, walking and all. Really, anyone would hate carrying a lot in that kind of situation. Her step brother shrugged.

"Sorry Di, but you were the one who checked out all those books, so you kinda brought that on yourself. Besides, I need to rest my arms. I have to play dodge-ball today!"

"Oh, Martin you're so rude and insensitive! If I were you, I'd pay a little less attention to myself and-

Diana suddenly tripped and fell, her books scattering everywhere.

"Good to know sis", Martin mocked, "But if I were you,, I'd pay more attention to where I was going!"

"Just shut up and help me pick up these books"

"Wish I could, but I'm gonna be late for school!'' He quickly brushed off the situation and rushed away, leaving his sister way behind.
"Ugh! I can't believe I have to deal with this myself!" she complained, while picking up her many books one by one. "Wait a minute..." Mixed in with the others, there was an extra book on the ground. She picked it up curiously. It was a small and simple black note book with the title 'Death Note' That's definitely not something she recalled getting. "A notebook of death? But…that's not possible…" A shadow came over her.

"Nothing's impossible"

The girl looked up. A shinigami, a death god, was towering above her. She froze

"Hey, you got any apples on ya?"

Diana Lombard let out a terrible shriek.
