Everything's so dark...I feel so weightless...what is this feeling? Holding this book I fell so...powerful! This notebook holds the power to kill who's ever name is written in it; and if I'm right Kira has one just like this. The only question is; how do I find him? Certainly not be as careless as the second Kira and post fake video broadcast...but how? Pushing a strand of red hair out of my face, I continue to ponder about what to do. Staring blankly into space for minutes on end I decide that I'll put the matter aside for the time being and focus on something else...I know, a good book would help! And if I'm lucky I might get an idea as to how to contact Kira from one of them.
Crossing my cluttered bedroom, I caught a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror leaning against the far wall. Long, crimson red hair was pulled back into a loose braid flowing down my back. The turtleneck I wore was extremely tight on me, as were the pair of jeans I wore with it. I was a bit odd, most of the other guys my age were into sports and talk of nothing but girls; at least the ones I knew, I however preferred my solitude and enjoyed the company of books more than that of people. Skimming across the numerous shelves of books, I found nothing of interest. I had already read most of them in the past month and I was beginning to get tired of reading the same thing...if only it weren't so late, then I could go out and buy a new one to read. But the time I had wasted not going to the store was worth it. Glancing down at the Death Note, I recalled the first moment I had stumbled upon it.
I had been walking home from school, planning to stop at the first book store I passed on the way; when I noticed a notebook lying on the ground just off the rood. Picking it up and reading the inside cover I thought it was utterly stupid, but checking to see if anyone around me was looking for it, I shoved it into my bag. As soon as I got home I examined it closer and decided to test it out. Everyone know of Kira and how he punished criminals day after day, so by trying out the notebook on one of them would not matter; after all if it did work people would just believe it had been him and never suspect me at all.
Right after writing down a name I turned on the news only to hear that the man had actually died. For all I know it could have been a coincidence, so I did the test two more times and both men died. For the first time in my life I had felt powerful, like I actually had a purpose in life. It has been days since then, and I already know all about the book. Saden, the shinigami of my notebook, answered all my questions about it. The name suited him, Saden: "dark hearted", he truly is. At least in my eyes he is. But then again, he and I are similar, so that must make me dark hearted too. Even if I am, the one thing I know is that I, Kia Kugarugi, will join Kira and put an end to all the evil in the world; even if it means myself.
