AN: Ok just so you guys know, I chose to redo this fan fiction. I know, I've already alerted you of this in a journal. So anyway, I'm attempting to make chapters longer so that's why...plus had slightly better story line. So R&R, there will be references to the show. the story line, may or may not follow a direct story line of the anime series. Finally this is how I think it would have been written if L, Mello, Near, Matt, and Watari survived, and yes I am even giving Light a second chance, for all of you Light fans out there. Tell me what you think, and without further adieu~ Let us begin in this endeavor.

It was a normal day, boring as usual. Light Yagami sat in his seat, listening to the teacher ramble on about a poem they were reading and discussing in class. "Light could you translate the next line in english?", the teacher asked.

"Of course," Light replied, and quoted the line.

"Thank you Light," The teacher said, and then continued to teach the class.

Light felt himself drifting off into boredom again. "This world is rotten," Light thought as he went into his night school later on. Suddenly a notebook fell past the window, the next day, Light's eyes widened,"What the~?!" , Light wondered.

Light decided, after class he would pick it up. When he got the chance to he did, and read the word on the on the notebook," Death Note?"

Light opened it next, and saw instructions written inside, he read the first one,"The person whose name is written in this notebook shall die. Heh, yeah right, probably just some prank."

Light set it down, and began to walk away. However the book had his complete attention, and he wanted to know if it actually worked. "I must be crazy," Light thought,"It's just a prank, so why do I want to test it?"

Light eventually got home, that was the same too. Mom wanted to the mock, or practice test scores. "Top of your class again,"She said excitedly and yet unsurprised,"Good work, I'll make your favorite tonight if you want."

"That'd be great mom,"Light said,"I'm going to be upstairs doing homework."

"Ok Light," His mother said,"If you need anything let me know."

"Alright,"Light stated.

Light closed, and locked his door. He tested the notebook on a crazy man holding a preschool hostage,"I knew it was fake," He mumbled, just as he got his actual results.

This was terrifying, it had actually worked. Light waited about a week before using it on a man, Taka, and that caused him to get hit by a car. After he knew it wasn't just a prank, testing it several times, he disappeared from the magazine shop he had been in. "I'm a murderer!," Light thought,"Those were human lives! Wait this is exactly what I've been thinking about. This world is rotten, and those who are making it rotten should die. I will be the one to clean the scum off of this world."

As a couple days turned into 5, Light had written over 200 names. He was laughing, looking at the at his book when he heard,"You seem to have taken a liking to it."

Light jumped, and with that you know the rest of his backstory. Meanwhile, however, a girl about Light's age living in America. Her hair was dark purple, and she was working on dinner with her parents when she noticed something unnerving. She felt the warm feeling of her parents, that hadn't left her, but a cold intensely dark energy in the air seemed to overshadow it. A death note, she knew it. "Well Haven," Haven thought,"Your parents might be leaving soon."

She didn't realize how right she was in more ways than one.
