"It's over," the words were cool, crisp, and truthful. Yet the boy ignored this. He pulled himself closer, and closer to the dark black notebook on the ground in front of him. "Stop this!" The words were hurled at him again. Blood sprayed out of his mouth as he coughed. Some stuck to his mouth and formed a pool in his mouth. The man dipped his finger in his blood. And opened the notebook. "Don't do this!" This time from a womans voice. The man smiled and ignored those around him. He quietly formed the letters. N-i-o-m-i-Z-a-r-c-h. He laughed and then continued. J-o-h-n-S-c-o-t-t. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and knew he must act fast. Z-a-c-k-I-o-r-i-. And there he stopped. He felt the pain fade and his body grow limp. He wrote down one last letter. And then four bodies lay there. Never to be disturbed again.

He knew he shouldn't have. He knew it. The black notebook sat in his left hand. Pen in the other. It had been ten PM and he was at home, alone. And he noticed something outside. So he crept outside careful not to make any noise, and there it was. A black notebook labeled Death Note. He had read about the incident the book had caused at school. The Kira uprising as it had been called. That had all ended three years ago, however. And it was mostly forgotten. He took his pen and wrote H-e-r-i-o K-i-o-r, death by suicide. Herio Kior was a student in his homeroom class who was loud, obnoxious, and an idiot, and he had unknowingly been murdered by his classmate. Zack Ioria.

Zack bent down and grabbed his bag. He carefully stuffed his books and binders in it. He thought about taking the Death Note, but that was stupid. A prank, that's all it was. "Bye Mom!" He yelled as he walked out the door. His walk to school was nothing special, but when he arrived he was shocked to here that Herio Kior had died. Zack quickly ran to homeroom. He looked around to make sure no one was looking and then pulled out the Death Note. He thought it was a prank. But something about it told him to bring it. And he had. So the first thing he did during lunch was go to the library and start one of the computers. He quickly launched Opera, the schools main web browser and checked the names of twenty criminals in Africa. Then twenty in Asia. Then, finally, ten in North America. He wrote down all there names in the Death Note, scheduling a time for each of their deaths. He turned off the computer and started to breathe again. Zack got up and sighed.

"Did you find what you wanted?" the school librarian asked.

"Yeah I did," Zack replied.

Thoughts began to rattle his brain. This was the last test. He would check tomorrow morning to see if they were dead. If they were. Then he would restart the Kira uprising.

"Zack!" One of his friends, John, called.

"Hmm? What?" Zack replied as he walked out of the library and into the hall.

"Where were you? Mrs. Chers is going to kill us if we're late to the meeting," John said.

"Oh yeah! I forgot!" Zack said. Brushing his white hair aside reveling his red eyes. He had been born with albino eyes, and his parents had told him he was lucky that that was the full extent of his deformities.

John who was slightly taller then Zack, and had blond hair, and blue eyes walked into the classroom. John was popular, or at least more then Zack. He always had a group of people around him. And who wouldn't like him? He was smart, funny and good looking. Zack took a seat next to Niomi Zarch. A girl a month older then Zack and had black hair and brown eyes. John sat behind Zack.

The meeting was about the upcoming finals. All the students in the room had perfect grades, and at the top of the school. The meeting continued and Zack noticed one of the classmates stealing money out of another students bag when they weren't looking. Zack knew he shouldn't be hasty, but the sight disgusted him. He filled up the page of notes and reached into his bag to grab another sheet, but pulled out a sheet of the Death Note. He quickly wrote the students name, and then tore the paper with his pencil for and excuse to get a different sheet. He got a normal sheet and then began to take notes. It wasn't long before the class was disturbed. The student screamed and fell out of his desk on to the floor of the classroom. The money fell like feathers to the floor. Fira Yagachi, the student who's money was being stolen gasped and gathered it up. Fira had long black hair and blue eyes.

"Hey!" One of the dead students friends called, "Hey, man are you okay?"

"Let me check his pulse," Niomi volunteered. She put her hand on his throat and waited for a pulse. No pulse came. "He's dead," she proclaimed.

"He can't be!" Zack said bolting over to the scene.

"Zack... I understand you don't like death, but..." Tears swelled into her eyes. She hated death and couldn't bear someone dying before her eyes. Even if she didn't know them.

"People just don't die randomly during school!" Zack was yelling now, "That only happens in stories!"

"Zack..."

"Zack Ioria!" the teacher was getting angry, "Sit down or leave the classroom," she turned to Fira, "Fira help Niomi, take Anderson to the nurse and get a better exam,"

"Yes ma'am!" Fira answered and slung the students arm over her shoulder. Together with Niomi they dragged the corpse out of the classroom. Zack followed and then made a sharp turn to the left and made sure no one was around. He then began to laugh. It was so easy! How could Kira be caught? He had fooled thirty people and wasted no energy!

Then a thought came to him. What if he became the next Kira. What if he liberated the world where Kira failed? He would be justice. He would remain justice. He would stay in control long after the world accepted him.

But what if he died like the original Kira? How had Kira died? He only knew about the Death Note because he had found a leaked government file. It had already been five years since the end of the Kira regime.

His hair felled in front of his eyes. He heard foot steps. It was probably Niomi and Fira. He looked and saw them. He then wiped his eyes and started to walk back to class.

After his last class he stood in the hall of the school. He loved the silence. The whole school had been informed of the death and was very quite. Zack loved it. He began to walk out of the school when Niomi came up to him. She walked with him silent until they were well away from the school.

"Hey," she said.

"What?" Zack asked.

"Lets sit down for a little bit." She said beckoning to a bench.

"So," Niomi said, "What do you think about what happened today?"

"I think that he may have been doing drugs or something," Zack said eyes looking at the ground.

"Really? Cause I think that it's really strange that he had Fira's money in his hand when he died."

"You think someone was punishing him?"

"Maybe. It's sounds a lot like Kira though."

"Kira is gone Niomi. There is no Kira anymore."

"But, it can't be total randomness."

With this Zack stood up and began to walk again.

"Zack!" Niomi cried. Dash in front of him, "You can't deny that you hope Kira returns,"

Zack stared at the ground. "Niomi, I was young and I thought Kira was justice, but when he disappeared and crime bolted back up to where it was, I realized Kira was only a temporary establishment."

"Zack, are you okay?" Niomi asked, "Ever since Anderson died in seventh period you've been acting strange."

"Niomi..."

"Zack, I'm just worried about you."

"I'm fine. Really."

"Okay, but if anything goes wrong, please, tell me," and with that she ran off home.

Zack stood still for a few minutes and then started to laugh. His red eyes flashed in the sun and he brought out the Death Note and stared at it.

"I am Kira! I am god! I will bring justice to this forsaken world!"

A/N: Um yeah it was crap wasn't it. -.-' Anyways, Death Note characters will pop up next chapter. None this chapter though. :P
