CHAPTER 1

INHERITANCE

And right before the school building, Satoru turned right and entered the park behind it. He sat on a bench, grabbed a pen from his backpack and opened the Death Note.

Satoru was looking towards a guy that looked relatively older than him and that was sitting on a bench besides a girl.

He gripped his pen tighter and wrote the name Toshirou Daiki on the first page of the Death Note. He raised his left arm and watched his watch carefully.

Meanwhile, Toshirou and the girl started kissing.

Although both teenagers seemed to be very happy, Satoru was waiting eagerly for the guy to die.

"Toshi? Toshi ?! Toshi! What's wrong ?!"

The girl was yelling desperately at Toshirou who was holding his hand against his chest and fell down on the ground. She was standing right next to him trying to help him, but it was too late.

He was dead.

Satoru was too late. The police and the ambulance were already at the sight closing the park and not letting anyone coming in or out of it.



"What are you doing here?"

"Huh?"

"Shouldn't you be at school, young man?"

"Well, yes, but I started feeling dizzy on my way there and I came here to rest for a bit."

"But classes started one hour ago."

"I know, but I was already late at my first one and I didn't want to bother the teachers."

"What's your name?"

"Why would you want my name? Am I a suspect?"

"God, no. Why would you say that? He died of a heart attack. Unless you're Kira, you couldn't have possibly done anything. I just have to take you home."

"Why?"

"Because the death of this young boy must have been a shock for you, considering your age. You shouldn't be able to concentrate on your studies, anyway."

"But I can't miss from my classes. They might expel me if I don't go."

"Don't worry. I'll speak with the headmaster for you."

"You'd really do that for me?"

"Sure. But first let's take you home."

The police officer took Satoru to his car and set off towards the address that he gave him. Ten minutes later they arrived at Satoru's house and after getting off, the officer knocked at the door. Satoru's mother opened the door and after seeing them together she became a little frightened.

"Satoru? What's wrong? Did he do something wrong?"

"What? No. It's just that he witnessed a boy dying and I think it was a shock for him so I brought him home."

"Oh, Satoru."

The mother hugged him and sent him inside.

"Thank you very much, officer."

"No problem, miss . . . "

"Sayuu. Yagami Sayuu."

"Alright, miss Sayuu. I'll be going then."
