AU plus OC's: What if Light never used the Death Note? This is that story. And Lights neighbor Mona will always give a hand, hey, maybe her brain will help out as well…
NO FLAMES/ ADVICE I CAN'T STAND EITHER ONE!
Since its an AU I fixed up one death note rule… sorry, I'd figure I'd tell you that before you read. And Mona is based off one of my friends who is in fact really smart, but you cant tell that.. (love ya pripri)
And don't leave me a review that says I write like a deformed monkey, or that I write like I'm in grammar school… sheesh…
Rated M for language and violence, no sex…
……………………………
I always wanted to go to work with my father. Ever since I was small, I would beg him to take me to work with him, but of course, he working with and as one of the heads of the Japanese task force, I couldn't, due to dangerous cases and serious incidences.
But after I turned 17 things began to change, he would take me to certain cases, and I would indeed get deeply involved. My father let me join in to solve things, after all I did score as one of the highest in the exams in my school. In fact, I'm the top in all my classes.
But this last one that I went on with him, was the biggest I've ever dealt with.
"Light, you have been watching over the news?"
"Yes, that's a silly question, its all I do mother." I smiled sweetly to my mother as she washed the dishes and I helped along.
"Well, 12 more convicts died of heart attacks in jail today."
"Seriously?!" I was so shocked I almost dropped the dish…
It had been happening for weeks. Men convicted and in jail were dropping like flies, of heart attacks no less.
My father was working on this case, no doubt with the incredible L. he had never distinctly said that he was working for L, but with easy reasoning, I concluded that the reason my father was being so secretive, was because L had most likely asked them to keep the case quiet. (and I wouldn't blame the man.) I wanted to help out so badly… so, I decided that night I was going to ask him, and hopefully he would agree.
That night at dinner, I started with some small talk at the table. Sayu rolled her eyes at me knowing what I was wanting from our father.
"So father, how is the case coming along?"
"That man they call Kira is so hard to trace, The head of the investigation believes that Kira has methods of manipulating the death and the time as well."
'Head of the case… it has to be L… He went over the air to face Kira, so it must be him.' I thought as I ate my rice.
"Do you think, that you may possibly need help with anything, because I'm more than willing to help father. You know that…"
"We'll see Light, Now finish your dinner before it gets cold." And that was the end of the discussion.
I decided to walk to the convenience store to buy some magazines. I figured that if I kept reading the newspaper, I might go crazy and try to solve everything I could get my hands on, and that included the crossword…
Just as if a bomb had exploded, I saw my neighbor Mona Burst out her front door yelling back to her brother.
"Come catch me asshole!" she screamed back at the door as her brother chased her outside while she was laughing. Her brother Nick looked seriously pissed off, meanwhile, Mona was just grinning like a lunatic. He tackled her on the sidewalk and ripped the cigarette pack that apparently Mona had stolen from him. Mona started to laugh hysterically.
"GOT 'EM! Your lucky I'm not in a bad mood…" He got up and walked back in the house… And of course she was still laughing.
"Fine, not my fault your going to get cancer…" she sighed as she laid on the sidewalk, I figured it was the perfect time to approach her from the distance I was at.
"So, stealing your brothers cigarette stash I presume?" I smiled as I held out my hand and she took it so I could help her up.
"Light! Yeah, how'd you guess?" She laughed and gave me a crazy grin like she always did.
Explaining Mona is kind of difficult, not her appearance, more like her attitude and her hobbies and such…
Well first off, Mona has short shocking red hair that curls around her face, and it makes her look like a Gothic Madeline with her black bow she wears in her hair as a headband. Her natural hair is brown, but she's bleached it and dyed it so many times you could never tell. She usually wears tee shirts and tight, tight jeans when were out of school, but when were in school, she wears the girl's uniform, but she plays around with it differently everyday. Most people asked why she's allowed to do that, and its mainly because she's complained to the school board so many time, they just got sick of it, so they leave her be…
So sometimes she's wear leggings under the skirt, and I never thought that that would be a problem in the first place, but apparently it was because there was this whole huge meeting… well that gets me off track now doesn't it… well anyways…
Mona, is strange to say the least. She doesn't act like those drooling girls at school, but that must be because she doesn't hang out with girls, she says their too obnoxious, and she wishes that she was a boy sometimes. Her hobbies include drawing and reading stories. Any kind, whatever they have to deal with, and she loves it when their put to be exciting.
Grade level wise, she's the second smartest student in the school, (and I'm the first) and you would never tell with the way she talks.
Her family's from the U.S. because her father worked in the army and was stationed here. Unfortunately about 7 years ago, her father was murdered by gunshot and the case was dismissed and never solved. But she never lets that bother her, she thinks that you should move on no matter the circumstances, and always be happy.
And finally, and to put it bluntly, She's my best friend. I do hang out with other people and I do go on dates with girls, but if I ever need someone to talk to, or visa versa, she would be there for me. And that's why I take so much time to explain because, shes just so… Interesting…
"I swear if Nick keeps it up with that smoking, I am going to tell my mom about it, then he'll be so screwed…Heh, I'd love to see the ass whooping she'd give him…" She laughed and put her arms behind her head. Her leather jacket was unzipped all the way to reveal her tee shirt that had some American band on it, and she was wearing her brothers jeans. "So where you headin' good lookin?" She asked me as we walked along the street…
"Convenience store." I smiled…
"Really?! Me too!" she said and waved her hands.
"Really?" I asked still smiling at her antics…
"Nah, not really, but I guess I'm coming with you now!"
We walked in silence for a bit and looked at the lights on the buildings.
"So," I started, "what do you think about that whole Kira is the new god thing?"
"Peh, I don't think much about it, but I think Kira should just let people like your dad handle the law, it's not somethin he should be involved in ya know?" Her hands were now in her pockets and she was looking to me now with her vibrant green eyes. (sometimes I thought her pupils looked like cat slits so it scares me to look at her eyes.)
"That's a good point, I believe I'm on your side with this one…"
When we reached the convenience store, I had bought what I needed and we had left.
"I cant believe you read playboy you closet perv…" She told me as she grinned maniacally.
"Hey, I'm a teenager going through puberty…"
"Yeah I gotcha, girls have like, permanent puberty, we have to deal with it till we turn like, 55… all you guys do is get horny a lot…"
"Yeah sure…" I looked to the ground and saw a small black book flipped over on its cover. "What's that?"
"Hmmm," Mona said as she walked over and picked it up, "Not sure…Its says 'Death Note', That's kinda creepy… Here look at it." She passed it to me as she held my bag for a moment.
"Death Note? Well that's…" as I looked up to Mona, and what stood behind her would make any normal burst into tears and run away. "M-mona… behind you…"
As she turned around, she saw what I saw and paled.
The creature had to be at least 7 feet tall, he had large sharp teeth and white flesh. He had wings sprouting from his back… he looked almost like a giant clown demon…
"Hm? So you can see me now?" he said in a gruff voice.
And now the creature talks.
"Am I going nuts, or do we both see the insane looking thing that's now talking to us?"
"I see it too." I released the air that had been stuck in my lungs.
"Aw, Human, That hurt, I am not that insane looking." It tilted its head and looked to me next.
"What and who are you?" I said standing in front of Mona, in an attempt to ease her a little.
"I am Ryuk, the Shinigami." Mona then perked up behind me.
"For real?!" Ryuk and I looked at her strangely, "WHAT!? I thought it was pretty cool…"
"So, human, you've picked up my Death Note, what do you two plan on doing now?"
"With what?" I asked looking to Ryuk.
"The Death Note of course…" as he said that Mona ripped the note out of my hands and looked through it.
" 'Whosever name is written in this note shall die'… Ok that's just weird…" Mona walked up to the Shinigami and handed it back to him. "Sorry, we're not interested got it? That thing can only cause trouble…"
"Heh heh, Smart human you are…" he laughed and looked at Mona. Mona just shrugged.
"C'mon Light, lets go…"
We began to walk away. For awhile we thought we lost him… until…
"Where you guys going?" We turned around and were met with the site of the creepy Shinigami.
"Have you been following us?" I said as I looked towards it angrily.
"If I say no will you be happy?" Mona sighed
"If you say it we'd know you'd be lying." She rolled her eyes and rubbed her face with her hand.
"Why are you following us around anyways?" I tapped my foot on the ground with my arms crossed.
"I'm bored."
Mona looked at me and I looked back. A Shinigami was bored… so he followed us… maybe we were both going insane.
"So, how long you gonna stick around and follow us?" Mona asked and Ryuk shrugged.
"As long as I feel like it I guess…" he said and shrugged.
"Oh boy…" Mona sighed… " He's all yours Light."
"Why me!? You picked up the notebook…" I protested.
"Yes but I kinda don't want a male Shinigami following me around while I'm in a shower and stuff, so he's yours," She began to walk to her door and she opened it up. I looked at her with shock written all over my face. "I'll come over tomorrow so we could go to the mall or something, and see how our new buddies doing."
And she walked inside her house and shut the door.
And left me with…it.
"So what are we going to do?" it asked.
"WE'RE doing nothing, your going to sit and be quiet in my room got it?"
"Hmph." He said as I walked up the stairs. My parents had long gone to bed so I didn't worry.
As I sat in my room, I watched the thing begin to eat the fresh apples my mother had brought me before.
"I'm doomed if my mother or father finds you…"
"They cant see me…"
"Hm?" I looked at him strangely. "Why not?"
"Only ones who touch the death note that I brought can see me. And that means only you and that Mona Lisa girl can see me…"
"Mona Lisa? No just Mona… Can anyone hear you?"
"Only you and, Mona."
"I see…" I rubbed my eyes and sat in my bed. And then it hit me. Maybe Kira was using that book that Ryuk was carrying around to kill his victims. "Ryuk, are there more of you?"
"Of course, there's a whole realm full of us…"
"Are you the only one here?"
"Hm, I wouldn't know."
"Alright." I thought hard and long. 'Yes, that must be how Kira is doing it. But I cant tell anyone because they'll think I'm crazy, or they'll believe me and take ME in as a suspect to being Kira.'
'For some reason,' I thought as this strange feeling surged through me, 'I feel like this has happened before… that's odd…'
And the I fell into a deep and thoughtful slumber…
