Ok, so here we have it. The first chapter of my Death Note story. This is not a whole lot different from the anime or manga, but at the same time, it's completely different

Disclaimer- I do not own Death Note, sadly. I don't own Light, though I dream of owning L ;) I DO own Akari, though, and my friend owns Toshoki.

Also, I start every new chapter with a poem. Some are mine, some my friends have written. I'm brain-dead and can't seem to come up with a poem for the chapter I am currently working on, so if anyone wants to write one, I'll use it. And of course, you'll get full credit. .

Three little words

Bring light to your life

Make you feel joy

To look forward to every day

Three little words

Make me strive for you

Wanting to care for you

Tree little words

Craving, feeling, believing

Wanting you to know

Three little words

Waiting for you

Whispering in you ear

I Love You

It seemed danger and trouble followed me wherever I went.

I am 17 years old and in my senior year of High School. My name? Well, I haven't used my real name since I was 10. but you can call me Akari Morimoto.

Seven years ago, my parents were murdered. That's when I met L. He took the case. I remember clearly talking to him. Well, it wasn't really him personally, just his voice through a computer.

He asked me questions about the murder. The longer we talked, the further we got from the case. He asked me about myself, how old was I, what school did I got to, things like that, Then, they got more personal, what was my favorite color, my favorite book. We talked for hours. For two weeks we talked over the computer and phone. I hadn't even seen his face, and yet I was falling in love with him.

Three weeks after my parent's were murdered, L solved the case. It was our neighbor. Apparently, he had a thing or my mom.

I moved back to Japan. Up until his death, my father had had a job in America. With both my parents dead, I had no reason to stay in America, so I moved back to the place where I was born. When I got there, L called me

"I want to see you. I want to meet, face to face," he told me. He told me the name of the hotel he was staying at.

I knocked on his door gently, hesitating only slightly.

"It's open." I walked in, and there he was, standing there waiting for me. He looked different then I had thought he would. He wore baggy jeans and a plain white shirt. His black hair was tousled and untidy, but sexy, and hung down in his face. His gray eyes had shadows beneath them, as if he hadn't slept in days. But he was smiling.

We started talking. After about half an hour, he suddenly asked, "Would you like to live with me?"

I had no remaining family and no place to stay, so I quickly said yes.

Five years later, when I was 15, our love began to bloom. Up until then, both of us had been afraid to admit our feelings. It took us a whole five years, but when we did, it was worth it.

I went to High School, but told no one about my relationship with L, or Ryuzaki, as Watari and I called him. When I began living with L, he had deleted all of my records and files and replaced them with fake ones. I became a completely different person.

That was years ago. Now, L and I together. We move to different hotels every few days, which was difficult at first, but I got used to it. L rarely sleeps and, when he does, he comes to bed late and he's up early, so I don't even realize he's there. But I love him more than anything else in this world.


The school bell rang, and I shot out of my seat. I gathered my books. Just as I turned around, however, I bumped into someone and my books crashed tp the floor.

"Oh, I'm sorry," came the voice of the person I had run into. I picked up my things and looked up to see Light Yagami. I smiled.

"It's no big deal," I said. I hurried out of the classroom and was attacked by my best friend, Toshoki.

"Why were you taking to Light?" she asked.

"I ran into him."

"You ran into him?"

"Yes, I did."

"you did?"

"Toshoki, you're repeating me," I said slightly annoyed. We got outside and started down the street.

"So, do you want to go somewhere tonight?" Toshoki asked.

"Oh…um…well. I have tons of homework and I should study,and-"

"Got a date tonight?"

"No!" Actually, I did. L promised we would have dinner tonight.

"Right, whatever."


I knocked impatiently on the door of our hotel room. I ha d forgotten my key…again.

I was surprised when Watari opened the door. "ah, Akari. Ryuzaki is waiting for you. Don't worry, I won't be sticking around." He went out the open door, closing it behind him.

L had a table set up in the living room of the suite we were currently staying at.

"I got your favorite," his voice came from behind me. I jumped.

" You scared me!" I shouted, turning to face him.

"I'm sorry." He pulled my black hair from it's ponytail, running his fingers through the silky strands. He bent his head to kiss me. His soft lipes pressed gently against mine. I melted into his arms.

Just then, my stomach growled.

"Ugh! Stupid Stomach!" I grumbled. L laughed

"Let's eat."

We had shrimp Alfredo for dinner. And after dinner, we had chocolate cake.

"You and your sweets," I said, laughing as L eagerly devoured his cake. I ate mine. It was delicious.

After we were finished eating, L stood up and walked behind my chair. He held a black box out to me.

I took the box from him and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond bracelet.

"Oh, Ryuzaki, it's beautiful! I stood up, threw my arms around his neck, and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close. I teased his bottom lip with my tongue, begging for entry. He let me in, and my tongue slipped past his. I traced the rook of his mouth. When we finally pulled apart, we were gasping for air.


L lay on his back on our bed while I played with his hair. I swept it back from his forehead and traced his closed eyelids, then the shadows beneath them.

"You need to sleep more," I said.

"Ok." He rolled over, pinning me to the bed.

"Ah! Ryuzaki! Get off!"

"You smell good," he mumbled.

"Get off!" I got no response.

"Ryuzaki?" he laughed. I pushed on his chest. He fell of the bed.

"Hey, what was that for" he asked. I ignored him. I slipped under the blankets and lay on my side. L got in next to me. He wrapped his arms around my tiny waist.

"I love you," he whispered in my ear.

"I love you, too" I said as I drifted off to sleep.


When I woke up, L was already awake, gazing at me.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning," I replied. He gently kissed me.

"Did you sleep all night?" I asked.

"Well…most of it."

"How long is most?"

"About 4 hours."

"Hmp. Thant's the most sleep you've gotten in weeks" I glanced over at the clock. Then, I flew out of bed.

"What's wrong" asked L.

"I'm going to be late for school! Now get out so I can get dressed." He made no movement.

"OUT!!"

"Fine, fine. Relax." He left the room, chuckling.

I got dressed quickly and ran out of the room. I grabbed my bag, kissed L, and left.


I just barely made it to class on time. After classes ended, Toshoki attacked me again. I think doing that was here hobby.

"Hey 'shoki. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Hey, what do you think of Light"

"Light Yagami" He's all right, I guess. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. You want to go see a movie tonight?"

"I have a science test to study for. Maybe some other time."

"Akari. Do you realize we haven't done anything together in, like., forever?!"

"I'm sorry. I'm just really busy."

"With what?" she asked suspiciously.

Well, I've just been helping my detective boyfriend solve dangerous cases. Of right, I forgot to tell you, I'm in love with the famous detective L. " Studying for my entrance exams, And job searching. I have to earn some money or they'll kick me out of the hotel." I haven't worried about money in 7 years.

" I'll help you look for a job," she offered. Yikes!

"That's ok. So, are you going to ask Light out?" I asked, changing the subject. Toshoki blushed.

"No! Well…I ….uh…no."


I had managed to remember to throw my key into my bag this morning, so I let myself in. L was in the living room watching the news.

"How can you sit like that?" I asked, referring to the way he sat on his feet with his knees drawn up to his chest. He ignored my question. He was to focused on what he was watching.

I changed out of my school uniform and into black pants with a chain belt and a blue tank top that showed my stomach.

I went back into the living room. I ran my fingers through L's hair then I dipped my head and kissed him hard.

"We'll be changing hotels tomorrow so get your things together. I'll call you and let you know where the hotel is and the room number," L said.

"Ok." I stretched out on the couch to watch the news. The screen showed a helicopter view of a day care center where people were being held hostage.

"the police have identified the suspect as 42-year-old Kurou Otoharada," the news caster said. "At the present time, that is all the police are telling us."

"That's awful," I said.

"Wait, we're seeing movement. Hostages are coming out! Special forces are moving in. The suspect has been found dead inside! I repeat, the suspect is now dead! Special Forces deny shooting him. Hostages say he collapsed from a heart attack."

I stared at the screen in amazement and horror. "that was no coincidence."

"I agree," said L.

Five days passed. More and more people died from heart attacks. Something was going on. All of the victims were criminals. School passed like nothing was happening. Regardless of the trouble, I began studying for my college entrance exams. But something was wrong.

Someone was killing all these people. But who?

Yay! First chapter- Finished! So tell me what you guys think! Reviews are loved!
