Reborn
*Light's POV:
This seriously sucks. I thought being a God in the Shinigami realm was going to be much more entertaining than this. Who would've though Matsuda, of all people, would shoot me? Then, to top it all off, the one person, well, monster that I thought I trusted, would turn his back on me, and kill me. The Shinigami realm is nothing more or less than a sandy wasteland filled with Shinigami's gambling to keep their entertainment satisfied.
"Hey, Light! How are you doing in the Shinigami realm? You holdin' up?" Sinoh asked, as he flew over to me. I glared at him.
"I thought that, I would be God of this place when I came here. It turns out everything in the Shinigami realm is pretty much…well, boring." I chuckled.
"You'll get used to it soon enough, don't you worry." Sinoh said patting me on the back.
Another Shinigami flew over to us hurriedly. "Hey, you guys! The Shinigami King wants everyone to come to him for a meeting! Come on, hurry."
Sinoh and I looked at each other, shrugged and made our way to this meeting.
The Shinigami King was sitting on his jewelled throne, looking at all of us. He looked at me.
"Light Yagami. I see in my books, that you have killed over 30 people. That's much more than any of our Shinigami have done. Very impressive." The King said.
I carried on looking at him. "So, what? This meeting's about me then?"
"It would seem that way, Light Yagami. How would you like to become a Shinigami Death God yourself?" The King asked me.
A Death God? Me? And kill evil souls, for my own entertainment, while making justice prevail? This is too good an offer to reject.
"I accept your offer." I said, stepping forward. The King got up out of his throne.
"Very well then," he said. "From now until eternity, you shall be reborn. Reborn as Light, the Shinigami."
Light the Shinigami.
*Aeria's POV:
I was doing homework and on the phone with Sayu.
"Ugh, I totally hate homework! Sayu, please can you help me? Are you any good at algebra?" I asked.
"Sorry, Aeria. I always got Light to help me with my homework…" Sayu replied. She started sniffling.
"Hey, Sayu…I'm really sorry about Light. He left this world too soon." I felt really bad.
"That's just the thing, Aeria," Sayu said, softly. "We all need to leave this world sometime. All that happened is it was Light's time to go. He was evil. He had to go." It went quiet.
"Sayu? You there?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm here. I'm sorry, Aeria, but I have to go. My head's hurting and I need to take my tablets. Good luck with the homework." Sayu hung up.
I feel so sorry for Sayu. The thing is, she's so pure and is still in shock about the evil her brother has caused to people.
"Aeria! Have you finished your homework?" I heard Mum call from downstairs.
"Yeah, mum. I'm pretty tired, so I'm just going to go to sleep."
I crawled into my bed. I really didn't want to go to school tomorrow. It would just be the same thing everyday. No one notices me. I stick out too much with my short electric blue hair and my white eyes that look like I'm looking into you and not at you. You know what I mean? Oh well. It doesn't really matter anyway. I just need to get good grades and I'll be fine.
*Light's POV:
I guess being a Shinigami is going pretty well. I even have my very own, brand new Death Note. I wonder what it would be like if I was attached to someone…
"Hey, Light. You enjoying being a Shinigami, so far?" Sinoh asked.
"Yeah, I guess it's going pretty good." My stomach rumbled. "Hey, what do you guys eat for grub around here? I'm starving."
"Well, why don't you use your intellect to find something for us to eat? Unless you want to eat the sand –like substance that covers the ground of our realm." The Shinigami King said, coming up to me. "Hey, let me see your Death Note."
He took it from my grasp and flicked through the blank pages.
"Hmm…I see you haven't written any names down here yet. Didn't you want to kill some people you didn't get the chance to before you were killed?"
"Yeah…" I said, rubbing the back of my head. "Yeah, I'm getting around to it. I'll do it later."
The Shinigami King walked up to the portal that separated our world to the human world. He held my Death Note with his thumb and his index finger and dangled it over the portal.
"H-hey. W-what are you doing? That's my Death Note!" I shouted, flying over to him.
"It's later." He said. He dropped my Note down the portal. I shouted out and flew down the portal. Into the human world.
I flew down and saw Tokyo from a birds eye view. I was hovering around looking through open windows to check if it fell on any window sills. After looking around for more than an hour, I was exhausted. I really don't know how Ryuk found me using his Death Note. Wait a second! The Shinigami eyes! I have Shinigami eyes! I looked beneath me and saw a girl, Aeria Yamasaki her name was, walking across a street holding books in her hands. One book looked vaguely familiar…it was the Death Note!
"Hey, that was easier than I thought! Hyuk, hyuk. Oh, great. I'm laughing just like Ryuk." I was thinking that I should fly down there and confront her, but that would be stupid. Her reaction seeing me, especially in public, would without a doubt attract attention to other citizens. Instead, I just followed her home, like a weird stalker. I flew through her door and up into her bedroom, behind her all the way. She sat at her desk.
"No one can ever find out about this. I've already killed one person; I don't want to murder another innocent life." She said. She was pretty cute, this Aeria. Her hair makes her stand out. Wait, Light. Don't get attached too much to her. I know what happens when a Shinigami falls in love with a human.
"Hyuk, hyuk. So you've killed one life already, huh? Impressive." I said, lying on her bed, expecting the loudest scream ever.
She turned around.
"Hey, who are you?" she asked casually.
"Y-you're not afraid of me?" I asked, surprised.
"Of course not." She replied. Why would I be? Hey, you're a Shinigami, right? I knew they existed. No one believed me. They thought it was just a myth. But I knew they were real, and here's one now in my bedroom." She got up and locked her bedroom door.
"You know," she said, sitting back at her desk, looking at me in the eyes. "I've heard that your type are totally ugly. But, for a Shinigami, you're kinda cute. We're gonna be best friends, aren't we?" She ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"Yes." I replied, wrapping my long arms around her too.
"Yes," I thought. "This is all going to work out. I can build up credibility with her, then kill her and get my notebook back. This is gonna be good."
