This has never happened to me. Ever since I was allowed to come to the Human World in a human body unless a human picked up my Death Note. Then I would be allowed to change back and forth between a human and Shinigami. But I wasn't that careless or bored to drop my Death Note. I picked my eyes back up from the Eighteen magazine I was reading from a bench near some high school to look at the person walking slowly in front of me. I had agreed to make the Eye Deal in the Shinigami realm for my human body, that way it would be easier to expand my life in the Human World. My remaining years were split in half but I quickly restored them. Now two things were making me cautious. One, the human in front of me only had his name above his head. Light Yagami. Beneath it was suppose to be his lifespan. There was not one. I was sure of one thing, this Light was the owner of a Death Note. I couldn't even remember the last time a human got it's grubby hands on some bored Shinigami's Note. I quickly looked back down at the article I was reading and flipped the page. Something talking about 50 best dressed celebs. Maybe I could shorten one of their lives. Light was out of my line of vision, but I could still see something. The Shinigami of his Death Note. Two, it was Ryuk. I recalled him so clearly. He was the one who made the Eye Deal with me. Everyone was so surprised he made the deal with me. But the deal worked smoothly. I put the magazine in my checkerboard shoulder bag and stood up. The Human World was paradise compared to the Shinigami realm. But my life wasn't exciting. Maybe tying paths with this Light made provide that with however many years until he dies. I started to follow them casually and hesitated. What if this ended up just like Taro and me? That was a horrible mistake on my part. I closed my eyes and curled my finger around the necklace I always wore. It was a dragon perching on top of a turquoise stone the size of my thumbnail. I have learned from that mistake. I pulled my long, brown hair into a ponytail leaving the one plum streak by my face where it was.

"What are you planning to do with that Death Note, Light Yagami?"
