Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.

A/N: Hi, this is my first fic. I am more of a reader than a writer and I am more familiar with French than with English. This is kind of an experiment to see if my writing is okay.

Reviews are welcome. Please point out any error I have made and I will try to do better in the next chapter. Please^^

……………………………………………

He is afraid; that much is obvious. His forehead is covered with sweat, his teeth are chattering, his shoulders are shaking-pathetic. You throw him another glance filled with contempt before you leave the cell in which he is held. You will not believe- you cannot believe that this shrivelling, sobbing, pathetic, creature is Kira.

But he is. The facts do not lie.

……………………………………………

Sometimes, Misa wonders if life is worth living.

She is tired. Tired of playing the part of the oblivious, cheerful girl, tired of flirting with every male she encounters, tired of constantly trying to please everyone.

Her so-called friends would not understand. Nobody understands.

Can't they see all the criminals running around?

Can't they see the children crying?

Are they blind? Can't they see the hell this world has become?

Can't they see it falling apart?

They say she is crazy. And sometimes, she wonders if they are right.

…………………………………………….

Matsuda can hear children crying.

He wishes they would tone it down. He wishes Misa would stop trying to help them.

He wishes everyone would stop being so selfish. He wishes for the good days to come back. He wishes the world is a better place.

Matsuda wishes for a lot of things

Only fools have wishes.

Matsuda stops wishing because Matsuda is no fool.


Matt wonders if justice exists.

He finds the answer when he is tied to a stake and the executioner- Ryuk – is about to burn him to ashes.

Ashes. Like what is left of his family. Matt can smell the smoke rising into the blue sky. Ashes. What a pretty word. Matt can feel the flames burning his flesh. Ashes… Matt knows there is no justice.


Rem loves Misa.

Misa does not love Rem.

Rem is not happy. But Rem still loves Misa.

Rem is bitter.


Near is lonely.

Near has lots of servants and nobles ready to serve him.

Still, he is lonely.

Near prefers toys to humans.

Because toys are not hypocrites.


A/N: End of chapter one. I hope it wasn't too bad. Please review.^^
