Hey guys! I am so excited to start this new fanfiction! I know this isn't what I usually write because all of my other stories are musicals. But I have had this idea for a while! So here it is! Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

A Mysterious Book

Leiko is just a typical 16 year old girl.

But not for long.

It all started one day in school. She was sitting bored in class, staring out the window. She's expecting nothing to happen, but then she sees a small black object fall down to the ground. She takes her head off of her hand and is suddenly very intrigued. Now she couldn't wait for this period to be over.

She gazes at the clock and she only had about ten minutes left. I can wait ten minutes. She turns back at the window, staring at the same place where the book fell. Leiko was no longer paying attention to the class. She just wanted to see what that book was.

Then the bell finally rings. Leiko jumps out of her seat, shoves all her papers in her bag and darts out of the room into the school yard. She jogs over to the place where she saw the book fall and she sees its still there. But she is suddenly rushed over with a wave of fear.

The book reads, "Death Note"

Leiko slowly reaches down and grabs it. Even though she is scared, she must open it.

The first pages says, "The human whose name is written in this note shall die."

Leiko is scared but excited. Her life was nowhere near exciting, so she definitely needed this.

"But it's probably fake. Some stupid prank." She mumbles.

But she shrugs and decides to take it home. She slips it into her bag and starts walking home.

When she gets home, she walks in and sees her two fathers, Light and Lawliet, sitting at the kitchen table. One is eating an apple, while the other is reading a newspaper.

"I'm home!" she yells.

"Ah, welcome home!" Light says.

"Hello, Leiko." Lawliet says very mellow.

She walks in the kitchen, kisses her fathers on the cheeks and then grabs a bag of chips.

"I'm going up to my room." She says before scurrying up the stairs.

When she gets up to her room, she throws her book bag on her bed, takes out the Death Note and sits at her desk. She just stares at the book for a moment before opening up the rules once again. She reads over it and shrugs.

"Alright, let's try this out." Leiko says out loud.

She grabs a pen and opens to the first blank page.

"Who should I kill?" She thinks out loud.

She sits for a moment, thinking about people at school, teachers, and random people in her neighborhood. Then she thinks about this one guy at school that picks on her all the time. So she decides to write down his name in the notebook.

"Now, we'll have to see if he's in school tomorrow."

"Would everyone please take a moment of silence in honor Ataru Okumaro, who passed away last night of an expected heart attack."

Leiko's eyes bulge and she smiles. It worked…Oh my God, it worked! She thinks.

That mysterious book worked.
