"Umm, Gukku," With long, trembling arms, the Shinigami Sidoh reached out and tapped his fellow Shinigami's furry shoulder. "I need to ask you something."
"Shut up you moron, can't you see I'm busy here? "The Shinigami's skull-like snout snapped at him. Although, the only thing Gukku happened to be doing at the moment was gambling with Deridovely and a few other Shinigami. But Gukku wasn't known for his kindness, especially to a cowardly Shinigami like Sidoh. He snorted and returned to his game.
"Well you know...uhh," Sidoh stuttered over his words, unsure of what to say to the others, whose backs were currently turned towards him. "I... Well, my Death Note's gone again...and...d-did any of you happen to see it?"
Gukku, Deridovely, and the others continued to ignore him. This wasn't uncommon for Sidoh and they figured he would find it sooner or later. Sidoh sighed, realizing it was futile, and that they were obviously not going to help. He turned away from the group and shuffled toward a pair of Shinigami crouched on a boulder.
Nearby, a dark female Shinigami observed Sidoh from where she perched on a pile of stones. She was quite a loner compared to the others and almost never joined in the gambling. To a human, she would appear almost wolf or dog-like. Her body was covered from head to toe in black fur save for a silver colored X on each shoulder. Her long muzzle was lined with pointed teeth, a pair of furred ears stuck out from the top of her head, and her two paw like hands were tipped with jagged claws. A few long tufts of fur stuck out from her shoulders and some from her rear which vaguely resembled a tail.
The dark-coated Shinigami's ears twitched as another Shinigami suddenly came up beside her.
'"Ryuk," the Shinigami snarled a greeting, not even glancing in his direction.
"Poor Sidoh is looking for his Death Note," Ryuk chuckled bluntly. "You wouldn't have any idea as to where it might be? Or do you Krii?"
Krii lifted her clawed hand and reached behind her, pulling forth a black notebook. On the cover, the words "Death Note" were written across it in white letters.
"It's not my fault he's too stupid to put it somewhere safe," Krii smiled. "Besides, if you leave your notebook just lying there in the sand, you deserve to have it stolen."
"Just what exactly are you planning Krii?" Ryuk asked. "Claiming another notebook for yourself. Are you going to put that notebook back into the human world?"
Krii smiled an evil wolfish grin. "I thought you already knew, Ryuk."
Ryuk began to cackle. "I figured you would eventually, Krii. So where will you drop it then?"
"Ryuk, my dear friend, I believe you know that as well."
Suddenly, two huge black feathered wings emerged from Krii's back. She lifted into the air, Ryuk chuckling beneath her.
Krii drifted towards the holes in the Shinigami realm where the notebook would easily slip through to the realm of humans. And she knew just the place to drop it.
Winchester, England. The place dedicated to raising highly gifted human children, to become the next "L". Wammy's House: the orphanage that produces geniuses.
Yes, things are going to be very interesting here, thought Krii. Very interesting indeed.
A/N: Just wanted to explain a few things here:
1. The prologue will be much shorter than the chapters. But in most stories it's like that, no?
2. Also wanted to mention updates. I won't plan for there to be an exact day of the week for updates. Updates will come when I write a new chapter, and who knows when that will happen? Chapters will come to me at different times, but I do have the basic plotline set down, so I know for sure what I will be writing every time I sit down to complete a chapter.
3: I am determined to finish this story no matter what! Just a pre-warning for those of you who chose to read this: there will be OCs. But, a lot of characters who bleong to the original Death Note series will appear in the story or be alluded to. So if a story with a bulk of OCs isn't really your cup of tea, that's cool with me. Just please don't flame me about it. Don't like, don't read.
I hope everyone who reads Death Note: The Second Note enjoys the story. And if you decide to drop by and review every once in a while that would make you such a cool person for doing that!
Now enough of my ramblings! It's time for you to read the actual story, not the words of an anxious author!
Farewell and good day.
