This story is placed after Light's death. It's not going to be any kind of mushy romance crap so don't worry. Also you'll want to check out Kira-Oni13's story, Death Note: Black Vow. It's a parallel story to mine but it starts a few months before mine...

Prologue

It's been two years since Kira left us, and the world has returned to how it was before. Murders, robbers and rape cover the headlines. The only difference is that criminals were being more careful with how they go about committing their acts.

Many people are grateful for Kira's disappearance. Those people hope he's dead so he can't return. There are also those that are indifferent to everything that happened. If they cheered on Kira when he was here or if they cheered on L doesn't matter. They don't care about anything once it settles. Then there are a few that believe this is a test from Kira, to see if the world can continue on without his guidance. If it is, the world is failing miserably.

I am one of the few people in the last group. We're all embarrassed by how the rest of the world is acting in his absence. If we feel this way, I hate to know how Kira feels. No one has kept to his will except us few faithful. I'm sure when he comes back, he'll complete his world.

My name's Namika Wright. I'm a collage freshman in my hometown deep in the western part of Kansas. It's a small collage, nothing that really special. You probably wouldn't even know about it unless you lived near it. Nothing about this town is really well known or interesting. It's completely boring. The only exciting thing around here maybe a few cow rustlings. The only reason I'm still here is for the fact I get free tuition due to my mother being the advance English professor.

My life has been just as boring as the town I live in. No exciting adventures, no moving, rustlings or contests. Just an ass numbingly dull, normal life… Until now.

A black notebook had fallen in front of me when I was working on my history essay this morning, in the park. It was a plain black notebook with the silver words DEATH NOTE scrawled on the bottom, in fancy cursive writing. When I picked it up out of curiosity, and opened it to the first page I was greeted with bold white words on a black background: How to Use It. Curiosity rising, I read the first rule, 'The human whose name is written in this note shall die.'

I laughed and dropped the book back on the ground. I had just figured it was some prank or a troubled kid's hit list. Still chuckling I returned to my history assignment. That is until I stopped and picked the notebook back up.

Wasn't it rumored that Kira killed using a mysterious notebook? Opening it again I read the next rule, 'This note will not take effect unless the user has the person's face in mind when writing his/her name. Therefore people sharing the same name will not be affected.'

I had smiled as I closed the notebook and ran to my dorm. I had to test it to make sure, but I'm certain this could be the real deal.

I sat in my dorm for what seems like hours before the clock turned to 6:00 and the news turned on. After who knows how many minutes of nonsense they turned to a live showing of an arrest. "The suspect, James Patton was found living only a few miles from where his victims where buried."

I had turned to the blank page in front of me and wrote the murderer's name down. When I looked back at the TV they where showing the pictures of the victims. "All three young women were found buried near the Arkansas River last week. The victims parents… Hold on, I'm receiving some new information. It seems the suspect has collapsed! H-he's dead!"

I had stared at the screen as they showed the police scrambling to remove the body. I turned my blank look to the notebook. It had worked. I couldn't believe it! A few seconds later I had found myself laughing manically, for my wish had come true.

Kira has chosen me.

Let me know how I did! And please read Kira-Oni13's as well. It might take me a while to update as school isn't helping and my parents won't let me on the computer. (I'm pretending to study for Human Anatomy XP)
