Hi there, as things stand this is my first fanfic, I've read a couple of other peoples and wanted to do one of my own but I didn't want to make a crap first. Also, I've been looking through the titles of others and I have to say I don't see why there are so many people making the characters fall in love etc I don't get it, completely out of character and thus, not believable. I'm going try make the characters believable (in terms of how they were in the original manga/anime anyway) and as realistic as they were originally and hopefully they'll be believable. Imo, I have a decent plot for later on and it should be some fun for both you and I. Feel free to criticize as long as it's constructive. Take care and enjoy.


An Eye For An Eye

Light Yagami found himself being rudely awoken that morning by a relentless car alarm across the street from the Yagami residence, he knew it was so because it was the same dark blue sedan owned by a rather angry middle aged man whom inexplicably reminded Light of a large mouse. He perpetually shouted at local kids for the simplest things that Light could only be amused by, he found it fascinating that people could be so ignorant, that they could be wrapped in their own lives to this extent and get angry at such extraneous issues; relative to the rest of the world, this man was a mere speck of dust on the Earth and a constant reminder of why he hated society – it was fowl.

The car alarm's extremely annoying screech continued to rain down on Light's ears, realising this was the only stimulation his bodily senses were receiving at the moment he got out of his comfy bed and began his morning rituals. At that moment something else occurred to him, today was Monday. Now being conscious of this ghastly news, Light couldn't hold back an exasperated sigh of despair. Today would be a shit day and he knew it, after all, it was Monday.

"Light dear, Light? School starts in forty-five minutes and you don't want to be late. Oh and darling, today is Monday so if you have any trash please bring it down with you. " Said Sachiko Yagami who was Light's Mother. She was a lot smaller than her son, a remarkably benevolent woman who always wore a truly genuine smile that was greatly admired by those familiar with her.

"Uh, yeah I'll be down in a moment Mother!" He shouted, alternating between brushing his teeth and speaking to his mother. He stared stoically at his reflection with his tooth brush still in his mouth. "Well, let's get this over with for another week" he thought to himself. When he'd finished, he put on his socks and then proceeded downstairs with the trash to greet his family.

Light wasn't particularly attached to his family however Light certainly was attached to his reputation and subsequent to maintaining this, he had to keep up appearances. To everyone who knew or knew of Light, he was a hard working high school student consider to be one of if not the most brilliant student in Japan. He was considered a genius by his teachers, a role model to the younger students, and valedictorian to his peers and of course, an exceptional athlete with unparalleled good lucks that had long being the cause of a Light fan club. Naturally, Light Yagami being the proud individual that he was would not let his standards and principals be tarnished by such idiocy on his peers' parts.

As he approached the kitchen where his family resided he realised just how depressed he actually felt, the monotony and boredom that lie ahead was not appealing to him, nor had it been for months, maybe even years for that matter, all he really knew was he had been quite unhappy for some time now and each Monday, this was just magnified for him. That being said, no matter how poor Light Yagami felt there was no way, absolutely none that he would tell his family or even let them notice how he felt; He was Light Yagami and his family was proud of his accomplishments and what he'd achieved, he was all in all, a good soon and he wasn't about to show them just how shitty he felt, no.

"Hey Mum, Hey Dad, Hi Sayu." He said leaning on the door frame wearing his signature fake smile that he reserved for times like this, times of despair.

"Light don't just stand there son, come and join us, a smart kid like yourself needs his breakfast after all." preached Soichiro Yagami with a note of pride in his voice. Light's hollow laugh of appreciation toward his father was only drowned out by the unbecoming noises coming from his sister Sayu's mouth whilst waving a spoon at him in acknowledgment. Clearly she'd filled her mouth full of chocolate cereal and then tried to greet him. This time light gave a genuine chuckle at the laughable sight of his sister which even he couldn't deny, made him a little happier inside.

His Mum only gave him a warm smile which transformed into a disapproving look towards Sayu as she offered her a tissue for the growing mess she was making. Light had always made a mental note of the mess Sayu made when eating, he thought it was weird, especially considering her age.

Light wasn't hungry, he picked a slice of toast from the centre of their red checked table and bid them all farewell as he set off towards his school. Light enjoyed walking to school, it gave him a sense of relaxation that nothing else did. Before he knew it he was at To Ho High School. As Light checked his watch he realised he was seven minutes earlier than he had anticipated after leaving his house so decided upon going to sit on an adjacent bench until the bell sounded that signalled the start of the school day. Just before he turned away he noticed something on the class lists for the month, there was an extra name on his class. Curious, he skimmed down the list to find the out liar; "L. Lawliet".

Still looking at the name Light thought to himself for a moment, he then started walking to the bench placed on a patch of grass a dazzling shade of green. With a slight smirk on his face he thought to himself "L. Lawliet, huh, I bet he's a right joke I mean what kind of parents name their kid with just one letter, I mean what must they have been thinking? Surely this must be a prank, ha! This 'L' must be a complete moron." Light's grin now widening.
