Light Note
Light Yagami sat in the basement of a department store, setting up a play tent for his younger sister Sayu. The basement was cold and musty, which made Light very uncomfortable. He pulled on the jacket to his school uniform and took one look at his surroundings.
He knew he would never get caught with his Death Note now. No one would ever think to look in the basement of a department store. The only person he would tell was Sayu, because he just felt like it.
"Hello? Light?" called Sayu as Light head the door open. He stood in front of the play tent, waiting for Sayu to come over.
"Sayu," he said, lifting up his arms. "Welcome."
"Um, hi?" said Sayu, as though it was a question instead of a greeting. "Why did you want to see me, Light?" She set down her bag and eyed the play tent warily, as if it was going to explode.
Light took a deep breath and said, "Sayu, I'm Kira."
There was a moment's hesitation before Sayu screamed bloody murder.
Light quickly slapped his hand over Sayu's mouth. "Sayu, keep it down!"
She pushed his hand away. "How?! Do you think you can just blurt out to me that you're Kira?! You're insane! Prove it!"
"Alright, I will," said Light. He went to go pick up his Death Note. "Touch this real quick, Sayu, so you can see Ryuk."
"Ryuk?" Sayu touched the Death Note and saw the Shinigami. "OH MY EFFING GOSH!"
"Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk," laughed Ryuk. "Humans are so fragile and scared."
"NO I'M NOT!" bellowed Light, grasping the Death Note. He glared at Ryuk with such intensity that Ryuk actually looked away.
"I didn't mean you, Light."
"Oh…" Light's voice trailed off and he opened the Death Note. "Sayu, is there anyone you want killed?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, never mind, I'll just murder a criminal," muttered Light as he turned on the T.V. He saw three criminals' names, quickly wrote them down, and waited.
"Newsflash!" cried the reporter finally. "Our three criminals have been found dead!"
"Oh… My… Gosh…" said Sayu, staring at Light. "You are Kira."
Light smirked, as if saying, "I told you so."
Sayu smiled. "I won't tell anyone."
--***--
Light was randomly walking around the basement of the department store, worrying. Had it been a mistake to tell Sayu? And why didn't she like the play tent? Ryuk simply watched Light as he chomped on an apple.
Without warning, the wall blew open and Light was thrown backwards. Ryuk started laughing as the dust cleared to show many police officers holding Light at gunpoint with Sayu in the lead.
"How could you?" whispered Light. "I trusted you, Sayu."
"Never trust anyone," said Sayu superiorly. "Especially your family."
Light snorted. "None of you scare me. I can just murder you all. I am Kira, after all."
"Not… so… fast…" huffed a voice. Light looked dumbfounded to see Sachiko, his mother. She, too, held him at gunpoint. "Don't move, Light, or I'll be forced to kill you."
"You too, Mom?" Light whispered, blinking back tears. He could not cry. He was a man.
She nodded solemnly. "I've had my suspicions."
"Well," said Light, "you're too late… Ryuk… now."
Ryuk continued to laugh as he took the Death Note from the table and wrote Light's name down in it. A while after he did, Light suddenly froze and collapsed. He clutched at his heart. Sachiko and Sayu went down to their knees beside him. "Light, Light!" they cried.
He looked up at them one last time, an evil look on his face. "This was for the good of society… and now you just ruined it." And then he closed his eyes forever.
