Title: The Fate of Humanity
Paragraph 1
Like all great civilizations, we as humans were meant to rise and fall. Yet both is achieved at the same time, for while we advance we also repeat history. Fear and pain are the foundations to today's world. However, as before, the world will end and Judgement Day will come. What is left afterwords, is anyone's guess.
"Hmm." Aurora Scarlet sat back in her chair. Her long black hair dangled down the back of her seat, creating a black waterfall. Her hazel eyes were covered by silver glasses, reflecting the light off her computer scene. Crossing her legs, she leaned forward.She glance over at the clock. 9:24. It was getting late. Soon he would...
Ring, ring. She looked over at her phone, and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Aurora."
"Matsuda! Where are you? Never mind, I bet you're hungry. Why don't I meet you somewhere, and we can have a relaxing night?" She smiled and twirled in her chair, thinking of a lovely night in.
"Aurora, I can't." His voice sounded thick, as it usually did when he was feeling guilty about something.
"Well, it's ok, we don't have to go out. Do you want me to make something or pick something up?"
"No, that's not it. I'll- I'll be working late tonight, and I'm turning my phone off."
"Oh." Aurora leaned back, uncrossing her legs. Her eyes shut as she rubbed her face.
"Do you have any clue what time-" Click. Sighing, the black-haired girl glared at her phone. It seemed often that he was always working, and never free. True, he was the youngest member of his team and new, so he had a lot to prove, but she also knew that he didn't need to spend this much time down at the station. She sighed. It seemed like a breakup was in her future, which was a shame, as she liked both Matsuda Touta and his family, who had welcomed her with open arms.
"You're out of plums."
Without turning around she replied.
"I just bought some this morning. I told you that six plums would have to last till tomorrow. Besides, I'm getting short on money, and soon plum rights will be restricted."
A dark chuckle sounded behind her.
"But, I'll get withdraw symptoms. You know how I get when I don't get my plums."
Aurora sighed, and pushed her glasses up.
"Yes I do know. You'll just have to make due. How about trying apples? They're much cheaper, and maybe you'll like them." Getting up, she continued to talk.
"But I'm bored, so how about a little entertainment, Judas?"
She reached into a covered hole cut into the wall and pulled out a notebook. The words Death Note was engraved on the cover. More dark chuckles sounded.
"You have read my mind."
Aurora turned, and faced the death god who was cloaked in an aura of darkness and well, death.
"Yes. Where from this time? America, Brazil, how about China?"
"You haven't done Japan, not once. Why not now?"
She frowned.
"It's too close to do Japan. Besides, we already have a Kira, Japan doesn't need another."
"Yes, but then what you do gets pushed off to this Kira figure. Perfect. You can't get caught."
"Fine. Who deserves... judgement..."
The figure behind her was wearing a cloak, with a pair of large black feathered wings.
"Heh, heh, that's the spirit." The large cloaked head leaned close to hers.
"Now, buy me some plums?"
Beep, beep, beep.
"Ague." A hand reached out to press the snooze button. Lifting her head, Aurora once again glared at another result of technology.
"Curse you mornings." She then slipped out of bed. At 5'1, Aurora wasn't the tallest of people, but also not the shortest. Her long black hair fell down below her waist, and long, thick lashes framed her eyes. Walking into the closet she yawned. Grabbing a green blouse and white shorts, she got dressed. Walking downstairs, she grabbed her purse and laced on her roman sandals. After reaching outside to grab the paper she headed into the kitchen, preparing both breakfast and lunch to take to the university.
"You humans do a lot of stuff in the mornings. Don't you do anything simple?"
"That's the point Judas. Do things complicated, but have a simple mind. Haven't we gone over this before?"
"Ahh, well, I stick to my opinion. Turn on the news."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Please..."
Aurora reached over and turned onto the news channel. A man appeared onto the screen, and spoke.
"This morning, ten local men were discovered dead in their beds, each appearing to suffer from an allergic reaction. Police have confirmed that this was not the act of the Kira we know. To the public, be careful, as it appears that Kira is not alone. Tune in tonight to hear more reports on the case of the second Kira."
Aurora turned the T.V. off and glared at Judas.
"Won't effect me, huh. Well, I don't know about you, but that certainly does effect me."
He held out two gloved hands.
"Don't blame me. I told you that I get withdrew symptoms from not having my plums. My brain won't work right now."
Aurora groaned before hiding her face in her arms.
"Fine, I'll buy you the damn plums."
She got up, grabbing her stuff and the newspaper.
"After school."
"Aurora! Wait up"
She stopped and turned to see her classmate Light Yagami walking towards her. It was late, and the classes at the college had just ended. Judas was flying over her, as he usually did, and touched down behind her. Smiling politely, she waited as the man walked closer to greet him.
"Hello Light."
"Hey Aurora. Have you heard about the second Kira?"
Aurora nodded. She then started to dig into her bag.
"I have a newspaper with details. I just need to find it."
As she rummaged in her bag, a notebook fell out.
"Here, let me help."
Aurora sighed, annoyed by her messiness.
"Thanks Light."
"Uh, Aurora?" Judas hovered behind her, poking two of his fingers together.
"You might not want him to touch that notebook."
Aurora mumbled a "Why" under her breath.
"Because that may be the Death Note. I was sorta, kinda wanting to make you use it in class today, to relive me of boredom."
Her head shot up, to see Light stand up with the Death Note in his hand.
His gaze went from her to Judas hovering behind her protectively.
"Aurora." She swallowed nervously.
"Yes?"
He shook his head before looking at the space Judas was hovering in.
"You're the second Kira."
She froze. 'How did he know? Wait, second Kira? He also didn't freak out about Judas which means.' Her head shot up, and her gaze met Light's. 'He must be Kira! Or he knows who Kira is. And that must mean, Kira has a Death Note. And now, how on earth do I get out of this mess?' Gathering her voice, she spoke the best thing for her to say. Lies.
"Then Light, you must be on something! Why else would you accuse me of being something I'm obviously not?"
A dark look spread across his face, and he chuckled darkly, a red gleam entering his eyes.
"No, I think you know what I mean."
Aurora nodded.
"Of course I do. I also experimented with fine powders when I was your age, but a genius like you should know doing drugs is not ok."
She frowned concerned.
"If you want I could give you a number to a support group. That way your dad wouldn't have to find out."
He shook his head.
"No. I mean you also have a Death Note."
Aurora nodded.
"It's ok Light. I'm sure the stress of exams as well as early college is getting to you. Those pills you're on will wear off."
He held out a sheet of paper.
"Touch it please."
Sighing she reached out a finger and touched a page of his Death Note. A low chucking sound alerted her to the fourth member of the group.
"Hello, Aurora."
She looked deep into the blood red eyes of Ryuk.
"Is there a reason why I touched this paper?" Aurora then made an exaggerated show of wiping her hands.
"Light, just because you want me to understand doesn't mean you should try and drug me. Maybe we need to talk to your dad."
Light cleared his throat.
"So, killing 10 criminals last night. Are you new to this or?"
His voice trailed off as Judas started to laugh.
"New at this? New at this? No no Light, you're talking to an expert." As he dubbed over laughing, Aurora threw him a dirty look.
"I see the no plum symptoms are starting. I will get you some as soon as I can. So for now, keep it quiet!" She whispered fiercely before turning back to Light.
"It's ok Light. You're stronger than the drugs."
Light gazed at her annoyed.
"I'm not on drugs."
Aurora smiled sadly.
"Sure. But denying things will only make it worse." She then started to back away when she noticed a group of college students heading their way.
"Well, I hope you get help with you're problem. See you!" And with that she ducked into the middle of the crowed before starting to chat with one of the girls. Judas gave a salute to Ryuk before snapping his wings and flying after her.
Soon both self-denied Death Note holder and death god were gone.
Light stood there, watching them disappear as Ryuk stuffed an apple into his mouth.
"Help? Oh, I'll get that soon. Trust me, Aurora, you will help me. It may not be of your free will, but you'll help me."
Ryuk stuffed another apple into his mouth.
"I don't know Light. She seems pretty dangerous. She could kill you."
Light smirked.
"As if. I've been watching her very closely. She gets bored very easily, and a puzzle like me would require her full attention. Trust me, Ryuk, she's not going to do anything."
The death god shrugged.
"Whatever. Just make sure you keep Judas in the equation too. He's pretty mean." And with that Ryuk flew away, leaving Light alone and pondering.
Liked it? Enjoyed it? I hope so. Review please!
