Life Note

Prologue

Light Yagami sat in his class room, listening to his teacher drown on and on. He stared out the window and thought about what he was going to do once school was out. He sighed and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black note book drop from the sky and fall onto the ground.

Once the bell rang, Light calmly walked out of the school and walked over to the area where he had seen the note book. He casually picked it up and flipped through it. Light shook his head and stuffed it in his book bag, mumbling to himself.

"Kids these days and their practical jokes" he muttered, heading back to his house. Once he got there, he said hello to his mother and went into his room, locking the door behind him. Light sighed and sat down on his chair, pulling out the 'Death Note' and reading through it.

'This note will not take effect unless the person has the person's face in their mind when writing his or her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected"he read in his head, skimming through the book. He shook his head and got up.

"This seems pretty detailed for a prank I'll give them that" he muttered, going towards his bed and laying down on it. Light stared up at the ceiling and thought for a moment. He quickly got up and pulled open the Death Note, pulling out a pen. He hesitated, and then turned on the TV. A news report about a crazed man taking an entire daycare centre hostage soon came to view and he decided to test out this Death Note. He wrote down the name and soon realized it worked. He stared at the TV and shook his head, quickly getting his stuff ready to head to night school.

On his way out he ran into his sister Jenn and dropped all his books. She gasped and helped him pick up his stuff. "Oh Light, I'm so sorry, please forgive me" she apologized, handing him back his stuff. He chuckled and wrapped an arm around her.

"It's alright kiddo, it was an accident" he assured her. She smiled and looked down, noticing a black note book still lying on the ground. She frowned and picked it up, about to read the title, but it was quickly snatched from her hands. "Sorry kiddo, I have to go" Light replied, heading down the stairs. Jenn shrugged and went downstairs to grab a bite to eat.

Light quickly headed towards school, hoping she hadn't read the cover of his book. God knows what would happened if she had. He sighed and headed towards the bookstore, noticing a girl being harassed by bikers. Light frowned and went into the store, flipping through one of the manga books. He opened the death note and placed it inside the manga and decided to test it out.

As it turned out what he had written in the Death Note actually happened. The biker chased the young girl and got hit by a transport as he had written down. He looked down at the Death Note and smirked. "This could get interesting" he thought to himself.
