I looked at my surroundings. The sky was dark, everything was all rotten, and ruined.
It looked oddly familiar.
Hold on, is, this, the...Shinigami World?
"What is a human doing here?" I turned to see a group of Shinigami, sitting around. I felt something on my back. I reached back, and found...wings.
Holy shit, I have wings.
Something hit my head.
It smacked my head, then landed on the ground. A silver pen fell next to it. I picked it up, and gasped. A Death Note. It was in English, in fancy, neat hand writing.
The corners of the Death Note had runic symbols on it.
I looked through it, it had no rules written in it. I sat down on the ground, and started writing the rules down.
Once I had finished my work, I looked up at the Shinigami.
"Hello," I said, what should I call myself? How about, "I am Vena."
They all mumbled a Hi.
I walked passed them, and found a reflective surface.
I gasped. I had changed. Not like a Shinigami, but, I had long dark brown hair down to my knees, braided to that is hung off my left shoulder, red eyes, and I was wearing a dark red dress that went down to my knees and to the floor in back lined with black lace, with black corset, the sleeves hung off my shoulders, and I had scull necklace, and black choker. I had on black tights, with black Mary Janes. I had on a over the shoulder black and purple bag, big enough for my Death Note. I also had a cloak on, the magically didn't effect my large black wings. I had black nails as well.
I was full on Shinigami. A pretty Shinigami.
Well, if I am a Shinigami, then might as well write some names down.
I looked over to the Human world.
2,000 years later.
After a little while, I had gotten over 100,000 years.
I had written a hole lot of names.
I wondered around the Shinigami world for a bit.
I wondered how long I'd been here.
I went near the Human world thingy. I missed it slightly. I had my Death Note in hand, when I thought of terrible idea.
"Oh well." I dropped my Note.
Smirking I flew down to the Human Realm. Near a School.
I looked around.
Wait, is that... Light Yagami?
He touched it, I darted behind a tree. "Damn it." I cursed. I think Ryuk was gonna drop his Death Note in the Human world, but I got in the way.
Great. I just screwed up Death Note.
I sighed, watching Light walk away with the Note.
I decided to wait five days before revealing myself. I can't screw this up. I went back to the Shinigami realm.
Everyone laughed at me for loosing my Note. But I gained a DO NOT mess with me reputation, so the other Shinigami were scared of me. So one look and they backed off.
Five days Later I flew down to the human realm, in a thunder storm, and went into Light's room.
He was laughing Kira style. "I see you've taken quite liking to My Death Note." I said in the most imitating voice I could muster.
Light turned and jumped. Not the full on terrified thing he did with Ryuk, but more the, HOLY CRAP NINJA PERSON. Sorta thing.
He looked me up and down, I was 5/8, so he was only about 2 1/2 inches taller than me. I pulled down my hood, my red eyes blazing.
"I'm Vena, a Shinigami." I said. Earlier, well, about 96 years ago, I had stolen a Scythe, one of the reasons I was so feared, was that the Scythe was infused with Magic, and could hurt a Shinigami, and I knew how to use it. The sharp it however, was not visible, as it only came out, when I wanted it to, now it just looked like a demonic staff.
Light stood up. "Shinigami Eh? What are you here to take my soul or something?" He asked.
I giggled. "Don't be ridiculous, that is a Myth. Anyway, I'm here because I dropped that, once a Death Note lands in the Human world, it becomes a part of it, the first human who come by it becomes the new owner. So that Death Note is yours until you either die, or forfeit ownership of it, in which case I will take your memories of the Note. But until then your free to do as you like." I said.
"It's Mine? So your saying if I use the Death Note I won't be punished?" He asked.
"Well, not while you live." I said. "But you will know the fear and pain all humans who use the Death Note feel. But when it your time to die, I will be the one to kill you." I said. My hand tightened on my Scythe.
He glanced at it. "Be warned, any human who has use a Death Note, can neither go to heaven nor hell for eternity. When you die, you will go into the MU, Nothingness. Unless I choose to take you, that's special little power of mine, that most Shinigami do not posses. If I decide to take you as a... shall we say apprentice. You can earn your Scythe and become the only other Shinigami to posses one, of, like all the others, you fail." I said.
I smirked at Light's face, his mouth gaping.
"Now you have something to look forward to after you die." I said, smirking.
Suddenly, there was knock at the door.
"Light?" It was Light's mother.
"It'll be alright, answer it." I said.
Light opened the door.
"Would you like some apples? The neighbors brought them over for us, why on earth is so dark in your room? You'll ruin your eyes sight."
Light took the apples and closed the door.
"Since the Note Originally belonged to me, only you can see me, unless I wish to be seen by others or there is somebody close to death."
"So my voice can also only be heard by you since you are the one using the Death Note, in other words, the Death Note is the bond between Light the human, and Vena the Shinigami."
I picked up a couple apple and slipped them in my bag. Ryuk will love these.
I saved one for myself, munching on it.
"Mm, it's been oh, a least Century since I last had human food, food in the Shinigami world tastes like dirt." I said.
"I just have one more question I wanna ask you, why was I chosen for this?" Light asked. I sighed.
"That is bit complected. But I'll explain as best I can." I said.
"I've done this all before, one way or another. Though it all gets very boring when the users go crazy and kill themselves. Ah, that's why I used to kill, up close and personal with this very Scythe. I'm probably the only Shinigami to actually use a Scythe to kill my victims. When a Shinigami kill with the Death Note, they get the remaining years of that human, but after I got a good 10,000 years, I got bored and started to kill in person, so I don't collect those years, however, in recent years things have gotten much to...boring. Your technology, the Internet, you humans no longer the same Naive being I used to play with, humans have lost glass, nobility, but Humans are even more ignorant with all your technology, you think yourselves smart because of your science, you think if man cannot prove something exists, then it does not." I explained.
"I was bored. So I decided to throw a Death Note at someone entertaining. You. But really, I'm just a bored Shinigami."
I finished.
"You we're bored?" He asked.
"Yep. The Shinigami world is, uh, well it kinda looks like the dessert with black sky and ruins everywhere. Very depressing. Most Shinigami are lazy. The only reason they write names down is because there afraid to die."
I said, "Look at how many names you've written, most humans don't write this much, but I wanna know why you only wrote the cause of death for the biker."
"If you don't write down the cause of death, the victim dies of a heart attack, and that's probably the best thing about the death note, Vena." Said Light.
"Hm?"
"You see I've already exhausted the list of the world major criminals. And eventually I'm gonna get rid of them all."
"Oh Really?" I asked, clearly amused.
"It's only a matter of time before people realize these criminals are being eliminated by someone. I want the world to know of my existence, that theres someone out there passing righteous judgment on the wicked." He said. His eye were Kira red now.
"Huh, you sound like me, back when I was younger, I was around, oh, 300? Killed so many, destroyed the Roman Empire." I said chuckled. I looked up at a curious, yet at the same time, Kira like, Light. "That's what your after?" I asked.
"Yes, you see, I've been bored to. I wasn't ready to believe it at first, but it's obvious now, there's something about the death note that makes Humans want to try it out at least once, I started killing off criminals, started with major ones first, then killed off the lesser ones through disease and accidental death. Only then will the world start to move in the right direction, full of people who've I judged to be kind, honest and hard working." Light explained.
"Ha, you do realize, if you did that, that would make you the only bad person left." I said.
"I have no idea what your talking about, I'm hard working honor student who's considered to be one of Japan's best and brightest." He said.
"And I, I will become the god of this New World."
I broke into fits of laughter.
Light looked at me irritated. "What?" He asked. "What's so funny?"
I was doubled over, I managed to catch my breath.
"Sorry, it's just I'm getting major flashbacks here. You remind me of younger guy version of me." I said. I looked into his eyes.
"This should be interesting." I said.
There we go, episode one. Please Review.
