"FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY VIA THE DESTRUCTION OF KONOHA, THERE IS ONLY ONE POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT" the shinigami king yelled. She couldn't tell whether it was for some sort of prestigious effect or if the skeletal being spoke that way normally.
Every fleeting thought seemed to drain from her mind with his next words, however,
"YOU, KYUUBI NO KITSUNE, WILL LIVE OUT THE SCENTENCE OF ONE HUMAN LIFE ENTIRELY… NOW, BEGONE!
Only one thought remained in the young (by demon standards) kyuubi's mind.
"fuck."
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Kyuubi groaned, rolling out of bed before getting ready to go to school. It was that dream again, from the day of her imprisonment.
Technically she wasn't supposed to know that she was a millennia-old demon, she was supposed to live out her sentence in utter ignorance at the whims of those damned shinigami.
She sighed, munching away at her bland cereal.
Since they had given her memory back for reasons of 'good behavior,' everything seemed to lose its taste.
She had lived this life, this lie, for 16 years; and frankly
She was fucking sick of it.
You'd think she'd just go and commit suicide if it was that terrible, but no. It wasn't that simple for her. When the shinigami said 'one human life entirely' they meant that she had to live out the allotted time given to her human form at birth.
Fucking shnigami and their stupid eyes, she thought
This meant she had to be careful, really careful, as to not die before her given time in some mugging or freak accident.
On her 14th birthday a shinigami showed up. The slug-like creature scared the living shit out of her before returning her memories. Then it just pissed her off.
She was happy without the knowledge that if she dies even a second before her time she'd be schlepped off into another human infant and so on until one would complete their cycle.
Why the fuck did they have to bother with telling her anything?
Since then, she had been training her weak body to handle her bounds of new taijutsu knowledge. She had tried accessing her chakra but found little available, the bastards… the only thing she could do was enhance her speed and heal her body, but apparently chakra wasn't as malleable in this world anyway,
Guess it's better than nothing
There was one interesting detail she was glad to know, she couldn't be killed by a shinigami's death note. Why? Apparently some shinigami were taking bets on how long she would take to complete her sentence and they didn't want anyone rigging the contest.
With that in mind she also carried knives, many more than a normal person should.
She stepped out of her small apartment, long crimson hair ruffling in the wind, it's length almost reached her knees; coupled with her dark, maroon eyes and formidable stature (a good 5'10") she managed to impose a fairly demonic presence. Something she found extremely ironic.
She approached the classroom; it was her first day at To-Oh University, despite it being the middle of the year. Since her memories returned, her grades were flawless; though she didn't care, even if they weren't from her perspective every day was just another day in prison.
The parents the shinigami had assigned her to had sent her off to Japan for college so they could fulfill their own youthful desires, something that pleased the young demon very much.
The teacher beckoned her to enter.
"While this may seem unusual so late in the year, we have a new student joining us!" the teacher's gleeful tone disgusted the demon but she retained an impassive expression.
The excited professor continued, "everyone please welcome Ryuuzaki Kyuu!" he clapped until a few students joined in. Kyuubi's expression didn't falter, she just sighed.
"Now then, Ryuuzaki-san, why don't you take that seat behind Yagami-san?"
She almost glared at him, "who?"
"The boy over there," he pointed to a young auburn-haired boy who seemed lost in his own thoughts, "Yagami, raise your hand,"
The boy rose his arm halfway for a moment before returning to stare out the window.
That was when she saw it.
She couldn't help but break into a feral grin as she walked over to her new seat.
Behind this Yagami boy was a shinigami, a fucking shinigami.
She had a way out now.
Her grin had maintained it's valor as she sank into the chair, until a finger poker her shoulder from behind.
"Kyuu-chan?"
she turn, noticing for the first time (since the shinigami was covering him before) the odd looking boy that sat behind her. It wasn't that the boy looked that odd, it was more the way he was sitting; with his knees tucked into his chest; that and the absence of shoes.
"yes..?"
"do you know Light-kun from somewhere?"
"who?"
The boy deadpanned, "the boy sitting in front of you… Yagami Light?"
"err, no. what makes you say that?"
The boy raised an eyebrow, "you looked awfully happy after noticing him in this class…"
Her eyes narrowed perceptive little fucker, aren't you. She thought for a moment how to play this off without arising suspicion, for what? She had no fucking idea, yet the way this guy was questioning her made it seem like Yagami Light was into some major shit.
She smiled the sweetest smile her stomach could manage, "I just couldn't help but get excited after seeing that I get to sit behind such a cute boy!" she almost squealed before hearing the shinigami laugh, resisting the urge to punch it.
God I'm sickening she thought this Yagami guy probably thinks I'm a fucking moron by now
"hmm," the boy murmured, "I guess I was mistaken then… sorry for bothering you,"
The sweet smile was back, "oh it's no problem," *insert extra bright forced-smile, "what's your name?"
"Hideki Ryuga."
Now she was suspicious and annoyed, there's no way in hell that's his real name, why use such an obnoxious alias? She thought of her own, it's not like it is with me, hell, I don't even have a real name just 'The Fearsome and Demonic Kyuubi no Kitsune,' I mean what's up with that?... okay no, focus on the situation at hand…
She glared at the boy, forgetting her 'goody too shoes' persona in a fit of annoyance "there's no fucking way that's your real name."
Hideki's eye's widened, clearly not expecting such profanities from the girl, "I beg your pardon?"
Light was also curious at this point (seeing as he'd been eavesdropping throughout their entire conversation) he knew L's alias was obvious but no one had ever questioned him.
Kyuubi glared at the boy, "I said 'there's no fucking way that's your real name.' I don't see where the problem lies in telling me your real name… or shit, at least have the decency to come up with a less obnoxious alias."
L's eyes were wide; frankly, he hadn't the slightest clue of how to handle the situation, the girl was just too blunt for him, "I-It's… Ell-Elliot… I'm originally from England and didn't want to seem too foreign and risk being bullied," he let out a pout, defeated. She may not have known it, but he had essentially just admitted he was the world's greatest detective to anyone listening.
The sweet smile returned once more, "See? Was that so hard?" at least he put some thought into this lie, the bastard…
L nodded frantically, wanting to end the conversation.
Class ended.
Light was walking to the door
"Yagami-san!"
He turned, noticing Kyuubi rushing toward him, what could she want? He thought.
He turned on his 'nice guy' look, "can I help you Ryuuzaki-san?" he found it a little ironic that her last name was the same as one of L's alias'; ironic and suspicious.
She smiled lightly, "I was just wondering if we could talk for a little bit…alone."
Light's smile faltered slightly, ugh I don't have time for this, "I'm sorry, Ryuuzaki-san, I really don't have much time right now with finals coming up…"
Her expression immediately darkened, eyes narrowing, with a sly fox-like grin, I think you'll make time for me, "oh but Yagami -kun, it's really important you see… there seems to be this horrid bird floating behind you, it's really quite annoying and I'd just love to discuss it a little bit."
Light's eyes widened oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck before he managed a smile, "oh, of course! Why don't' you come with me to my house… now?"
She smiled brightly, "that sounds great Yagami-kun!"
Yes. This was going to be fan-fucking-tastic she thought
Nyaa
