The story you are about to read takes place in the Death Note universe. Through some alterations I have created an alternative to the story. Not many happy things happen in this version of a great anime, manga, live action movie, and book. I hope you enjoy my retelling of Death Note.

Lives have been taken. They weren't innocent but they were still lives. Who would be so twisted as to kill all those people? Light Yagami, it's you, you are Kira. I can't prove it yet but I swear I will send you to your execution. Or maybe I just want someone to blame? I'm losing. No, no I'm sure that Light Yagami is Kira. How to make you confess...

"Gee I'm tired." Matsuda gave an exasperated sigh.

"Justice never sleeps." L replied smirking.

"And that why he has those dark circles under his eyes." L ignored Aizawa's remark concerning how much sleep he got.

"Light, your girlfriend is here!" Sayu yelled from downstairs.

Light got up reluctantly to send Misa away, but she was already half way up the stairs.

"Thank you so much Sayu." Misa smiled down at Sayu, who beamed in return from the attention of the older blond in a gothic Lolita outfit. "Light, sweetheart!" She yelled and practically crushed him when she clung onto Light. Who knew she had so much strength?

I hate when she drapes her self on me. She has no dignity.

"Misa! Why are you here? I said you can't visit me!" Light said angrily.

"Waaahhh, but I just wanted to see you one last time!" She whined.

"Fine but be very inconspicuous when you go back, you might be followed. Promise me this will be your last visit." He said peering out the curtains of the window to inspect the area, and to make sure no one was around to see that she was there. Even a normal citizen seeing her would be dangerous. Light didn't think that his family would say anything, plus they wouldn't ask them because his father was probably trying to hide the fact that his son was suspected of being Kira.

"So what do you want? You can't have come over only because you wanted to see me. You better have something to tell me." Light said leaning back in his chair, placing his arms behind his head nonchalantly.

"Well..." She said rubbing the lacy fabric of her dress.

"Ugh! Misa! Since you have nothing to say just go home, you're not even supposed to be here!" He said getting up to open the door for her.

"I just wanted to spend a little time with you because I know I won't be able to see you for a long time!" She explained while trying to express how lonely she was. He took his hand off the door knob and sat back down.

"Fine. You better not have been noticed on your way over here."

"I wasn't! Which is good for me as the second Kira but not as a star!" Idiot. Light pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers in irritation, and leaned back.

"Okay. Whatever."

She's finally gone, now I can study before I have to go to sleep. Being the God of the New World is going to start lowering my grades. Light thought as he sat down in his chair and took out his text books.

A few moments later and another interruption made him go downstairs, only this time, he had to really put on an act. "Hi, Dad. Glad you're home!" He heard Sayu say as he walked down the stairs.

"Hey, Dad." He said walking along side his father, "Any new leads?" He whispered.

"No. Just the usual calls from people claiming to be Kira." He replied with a disgruntle tone.

"I don't see why people would want to be a murderer." Light mumbled.

"Hmm. I can't either." As soon as they both sat down at the table Sayu started to ramble on about how great Light and her father were, as usual. After they finished everyone went their own direction in the house. Luckily my family has never been the type to bother me by getting into all that family stuff. Light thought while he headed into his room.

After Light finished studying he tuned into the news channel. "There hasn't been any major crimes lately. Excellent."

"You know Light, a good thing to do once in a while is getting some apples so I don't start getting withdrawal symptoms. You never think of me." Ryuk grumbled.

"Ryuk, as I've said before I only have a small window of opportunity to write names in the Death Note. I'll get you apples when I have the chance. I might even put a stash of them up here so you can't bother me anymore." For a shinigami he sure is annoying.

Heh, he's not afraid of a shinigami. For a human he sure does have a big head.

"In conclusion, that is why I am better looking than you." L said. Matsuda had argued with him who was better looking, in which L rattled off extensive reasons why he looked more handsome than Matsuda. Everyone laughed quietly in the background as L spoke.

"Fine. You win this one Ryuuzaki." The youngest cop said slumping his shoulders.

"And now you are trying to copy me just so you can be better looking." L said pointing a finger at him accusingly. There was a slight note of annoyance but it was almost hard to hear in that monotone voice of his. Watari's brow drew together, not happy with the thought of imitation.

"What? No, no I was just-" Matsuda put his hands up in defense, "...oh forget it." Everyone laughed, but they soon got back to work.

Alice walked into the hotel lobby looking around. She had business to do there that was clear on her face as she passed the front desk and entered the elevator. When she finally reached the room she was headed to, she ran a hand over her hair. A few seconds after she knocked the door opened to reveal a slightly groggy man in a suite.

"What is it?" He said rubbing his eyes. Alice smirked.

"I'm here to see L."

Please Review, it would be greatly appreciated.
