H'lo! This is Cross speaking!

Or I hope it is…

Haru recently got me into Death Note so I'm gonna try this. Please give me tips or tell me anything you may think. Though I may not listen to your suggestions. I have a decent idea of what I am going to do.

Please regard me kindly.

This is Cross.

Signing off.

Prologue: Of New Things

Okay. Let me explain this loud and clear. I did not like Death Note. 'Did not' being the key words here. In seventh grade I, of course, had just joined the anime club. One of the first things we watched was Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie. Okay! Sorry, sorry! That's not really the point here --! Okay. One of the first things we watched was Death Note – the first two episodes. I, being the softie that I was back then, hated it. I mean – c'mon people! Killing people just like that! It totally freaked me out like Hell!

Not that I had bad language back then but—

Well, anyways… One of my best friends, being the oh, so wonderful friend she is, was horrified. Absolutely horrified. But it was even. I mean, she hated D. Gray-Man! One of my most adored series! How could she?!

Ahem…! Anyways… She bitched about it to me. It seemed like 24/7 Hell to me. Don't get me wrong, I live her to death but… Agghhhh… Was that annoying…!

Well, one year later it was in the school library. Recently I'd been wavering, so, while it was before school and I was with another one of my best friends, I decided to read it. Just to satisfy the scary best friend with an obsession with Death Note.

Okay. I admit it. I thought it wasn't so bad and was actually disappointed when the bell rang for class. So the next day I read more of the book. What can I say? It was starting to grow on me.

Two days later and you find me on . Reading Death Note. It's two days before the end of graduation. Am I cued in or what?

One day later. I nearly break down after witnessing L die. I had actually liked Light, that bastard!

Two days after I start my Onemanga rampage. I graduate. That night I curse that I am unable to stay up long enough to see what Light was up to with his new obsession with Near.



Three days after the OneManga explosion. I finish. Crap. It's done. That's not fair. Why, Light? Why?

Four days after my internet start. I e-mail my best friend. Yeah. That one. And I thank her.

Two months after I finish Death Note. I start High school.
