LaneyxLForeverMore: Yep, for those who've read the first chapter of The Human Note then I'm redoing it of course. I personally didn't like how it turned out myself (Don't know why I even posted it) but anyways I'm redoing it and I hope you like this one better because it was thought out before I typed it.

P.S: I changed Mana's name.


DN- The Human Note

Chapter 1- A Curse/ Freedom

Leila's POV


Bang.

That was the sound of my door slamming in my mother's face. Her name was Carmine Hikaru and she was well…I don't know.

"Leila Hikaru! If you don't open this door by the time I count to three, you'll wish you'd never disobeyed me!" Mother shouted from the other side of the door. She won't do a thing. Watch.

"I'm starting! 1"

"2"

"3"

"Ugh! I can't wait until your father arrives to take you away!" She yelled before the sound of feet stomping was heard with silence following soon after. Told you she wasn't going to do anything.

"She'll never understand" I thought sitting down in the dark purple armchair in my room. "Do you understand my pain, Peki?" I asked my pet bird. Not a cat nor a dog but a bird. It's the only thing in my house that understands me.

"Tweet" It said. I took that as it understood…well that's what I like to think.

"I knew you would" I said sighing. I probably wouldn't be like this if my mother had just understood my life, or my POV on life, for that matter. You see I'm not an ordinary girl, my mother is human and my father is not…I bet you're confused, no? Well, from what she told me he was part human and part Shinigami (Death God) and you should get the rest. So, that's what I am Human/Shinigami and my mother knows that but doesn't understand it, unfortunately.

Does she know what it's like to know every day that someone's about to die? Whether it is your friends or a family member, it doesn't matter. That's the curse of the shinigami eyes. What are they? They're eyes that basically allow you to see someone's real name and date of death; it's both a blessing and a curse, especially if you can't do anything about it.

"The world would never understand. The things I go through every day, not even my own mother could ever understand. That's the curse of being a human and a shinigami." I whispered to no one.

"When father comes, it'll be goodbye to you Peki. I know he wouldn't allow you to come with me to the other world" I told him. He tilted his head as if confused. Sometimes I think birds, or any animal, can understand us but we never take the time to notice.

"The shinigami world is dark, cold, and above all depressing. I wouldn't want you to go anyways" I said. It blinked. I smiled "I'm going to miss you Peki. When I set you free I want you to travel to other places and don't fly back. Can you do that for me, Peki? Can you be free for me?" I asked. It chirped which I took as a yes.

"Thank you" I said.

Freedom…the word was wonderful to me but unfortunately I'll never reach it. Whether it's here or there (The Shinigami World) I'm most likely never be free. Never….


For those why her name is American/Japanese? Well, the Shinigami King(Her father) took on a Japanese man's look and name and her mother is American so…there you go.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
