Canadian Tom-boy: Blah; read up to chapter 100 of Death Note, and ideas sparked. Don't forget to R&R! Don't be afraid to criticize.

Summary: Only mere weeks have past since Kira won against Near and announced himself to the world as Yagami Raito, ruling over the entire world. But those weeks of joy weren't meant to last, as he soon figures out as when he writes the names of criminals in the Death Note, some of them are surviving from his death penalty. Bewildered by how this could be, he suddenly gets an e-mail from an unknown sender, announcing a new opponent. But Raito isn't worried; he'll be able to defeat this new opponent like he had for L and Near, right?

Laughter escaped from the confines of Yagami Raito's soul, for he had held that true laughter in for longer than any could bear. He was able to laugh for real, for all his opponent were dead.

Oh how this pleased Raito, the new ruler of the world. He had been known as Kira to the world, but just six days ago he had announced himself as Kira and proved it by punishing a criminal. He also had all the Death Notes in his possession, including the one owned by Mikami, who had judged criminals in his stead while he was unable to. Leaving such a man alive would've been a dire mistake for Kira, especially if he announced who he was on national television with him alive, for that man could very well kill him and become the new ruler of the world.

Now Yagami Raito was left with no worries, with the whole world in his hands. Now he could write names down freely with Ryuuku by his side. Though the large building Raito now lived in never ceased to amaze the God of Death; especially since it had an apple orchid. That absolutely delight him.

The house they lived in was not a house; it was a shrine. A shrine built by his followers. Raito had a throne room and everything, where he would write names in the note while others guarded him, and Ryuuku watched. Ryuuku now owned his own Death note once more, but he stuck by Raito, for things were interesting around him, and he could not pass up the opportunity to eat apples as much as he wanted.

But currently, both were in a private room of Yagami's complete with many monitors to watch separate TV stations, some dedicated to worshipping him, some dedicated to providing him with criminal information. But currently, only the ones with criminal information were on, Death Note spread out on the desk in front of him, leaned back in his chair with a smirk on his face. His laptop sat off near the corner of the enormous desk. Ryuuku was feasting on a basket of apples on one of the end tables of Raito's enormous bed that was stuffed with feathers, curtains over it made of velvet. Raito lived like a God, but never paid attention to the detail of the interior of his grand home.

Instead, he let out another laugh. L, Mello, Near…they all thought they could defeat me, and paid the price. Who's righteous now?

Deciding to go back to writing down names, he watched one of the monitors still with a smirk on his face. A criminal soon flickered onto the screen; her name was Yorokobi Nesshin, and she had been charged of murdering her husband purposely. There was nothing special about her; dyed blond hair that reached past her shoulders, brown eyes, and thin shoulders and features. Raito had issued a police force around the world that would catch acts of criminals and such, but would not punish them. That was his job. Only when all the criminals were gone would Raito dispatch most of the force, but there would always be criminals, so he would never fully get rid of the force, nicknamed Kira's Army. Even though people knew who he was, they still called him Kira.

Wistfully, Raito jotted down her name, her face in his mind. He looked back up to the screen, waiting. After a few moments, she would die of a heart attack, as everyone knew with the Death Note. Three…two…one…

Raito could help but grin when his radio communication beeped. With the simple press of a button, one of Kira's Army's officers began to speak. "Kira, Yorokobi Nesshin has collapsed, as you most likely judged."

Well, of course I judged. Raito thought. He held down the button beside the one that turned the radio on. "Make sure she's dead, but proceed with caution. We don't want someone innocent like you dying after all, Matsuda."

That was correct; Raito had killed everyone he had worked with and that had worked with Near except for Matsuda. Raito harnessed Matsuda's fear and helped him make the choice of joining worldwide justice in Kira's way. Matsuda was afraid to die, but Raito knew deep down the man felt like he was carrying out justice. But not once after it was revealed that Raito was Kira did Matsuda ever call him anything aside from 'Kira'..

"Roger that, Kira."

Another criminal tastes righteousness. Raito thought, shoulders shaking from joy. Ryuuku just glanced over, before suddenly gliding over. He jabbed a finger at the monitor that still displayed the woman's picture. "Is that the person you just killed?"

Raito raised an eyebrow and nodded his head at the God of Death. "That is correct, Ryuuku."

He was caught off guard when Ryuuku suddenly began to laugh in the form of a chuckle, the God's body shaking from kept in laughter. Suddenly Raito had an idea of what Ryuuku was thinking.

"Well, I can still see her name and lifespan above her head."

Raito nearly fell out of his chair. He never would've dreamt the Death note would fail him! How is this possible?! The most basic of basic rules of the Death Note it 'If you write someone's name in this book, they will die'! How!?

Raito virtually leapt to the button as the radio beeped again. "Matsuda! What happened?!"

"I-I don't know, Kira- She certainly collapsed form a heart attack, but when we went and checked on her, suddenly she started moving again, and even got up…"

Raito was furious. "Matsuda! Kill her right now, or I will kill you in her stead!" he barked, letting go of the button only when he was satisfied when he heard a gunshot. He didn't need Matsuda to tell him 'target has been eliminated' or whatever he'd say.

Ryuuku was still laughing. Raito calmed himself down slightly. Think Raito. Maybe you wrote the wrong name and she just happened to collapse…there's no possible way the Death Note could fail. Nonetheless, the woman is dead, so it doesn't matter now…it won't happen again.

Raito then forced himself to forget about the whole ordeal, continuing to write names. Though anger-filled thoughts would creep in about the woman not dying, questions in his head left unanswered. Is there another secret to the Death Note unknown to Ryuuku? Did Rem not tell me about it? He found himself clutching his pen tightly.

No; my enemies are dead. I am God; if I have enemies I don't know about it, my people will eliminate them for me…

So much stress was being piled on the God of the New World, after only a week of ruling.

A/N: Sorry if it's a short and boring chapter. I can assure the ending to the next chapter will be better too; I just didn't want to reveal much at all in the first chapter that's like an introductory chapter. Feel free to ask me questions in your comments to show me what you're thinking; I won't reply, but it might help me think of ideas as well as how my readers feel about the story thus far, even if it's barely started.
