Prologue

The rose. No other flower can compare to its beauty. It radiated life as well as death. We had more things in common than anyone could ever know.

When I was younger, I lived with my family in a quiet town on the mountain side for most of my life. We were happy and everything seemed perfect, but for something to have a beginning, it must have an end.

I had awoken one night to find my family slaughtered in their sleep by a monster, someone I never fully knew even now. The darkness had kept him unrecognizable, but the murder was forever burned into my mind.

Frightened, I screamed letting myself be known to the killer. That horrifying toothy smile, that sinister laugh, how could I ever forget? The pain, the pain was much worse.

I've never known what it was like to be stabbed, nor did I ever want to. It was the most excruciating pain I had ever come to experience in my entire life.

With my last dying breath, I begged for help and was awarded with a slap against my face, "Shut up!"

Tears rolled down as I did as I was told. What was I to do? I was sure to die, to rejoin my family in the great beyond so this nightmare can finally be over.

Taking a deep breath, I wished for the calmness of death wash over me, to deliver me into the light. Nothing happened and that's when I knew something was wrong.

My vision cleared revealing that the killer had been ripped apart, his body lying lifeless in front of me.

A scream caught in my throat too weak to make its way out. My body finally given into death, letting take its course as my vision began to blur.

Drops. Cold drops fell against my lips as a voice echoed through my dwindling consciousness, "Drink."

Somewhere deep inside me I found a trust for this unknown voice. A trust that contradicted any opposing options. I drank. The liquid feeling pleasantly warmer against my tongue.

And that's when my life changed forever.

Over the years I was loyal to the man that saved my life and in return he told me the secrets of the vampire. Uncovering that the myths about never aging and burning in the sunlight false. We do age, but "gracefully" eventually stopping all together and the more mature vampires are free to step out into the sunlight any time they pleased with sunglasses on hand.

To a certain extent, I had felt protective of my creator, but when it came to his death I powerless to stop it. Newborns were too young to stand the sun, still too vulnerable. So, as others before, he'd fallen in front of my eyes.

I discarded the rose, crushed from underneath my powerful grip exiting the café. I'd left a $5.00 tip for the kind waitress's service possibly more deserving of the money than I was.

I ignored the names and lifespans floated above people's heads around me as I continued towards my apartment. I'd never questioned why I was able to see it just always assuming it was another perk of being a vampire.

The sunglasses could be annoying at times, but I had to admit nothing else did a better job in protecting my eyes no matter how old I was.

Something felt off, as if I was being watched, but I ignored it. I've felt similar feelings before, but it was most likely nothing.

Not paying attention, someone bumped into me knocking me to the ground. Okay now I was pissed, "Hey! Watch where…"

His lifespan…

Not only was the guy a clutz, but instead of seeing a normal name and lifespan floating above his head all I could read was a name, Light Yagami.

"Miss?" His soft voice sliced through my thoughts as he reached out for my hand. He sighed, "Sorry about that, I guess I wasn't looking were I was going." Something was up. Guys around here usually don't go the extra mile to be gentlemanly to a girl they just met.

"Whatever." It was easy to act casual about it, it's not like I'd ever see him again.

"Are you alright?" It was odd that he sounded so genuinely concerned, "Nobody's at my house right now. If you like you can come with me just to be sure."

Is this guy for real?

"I appreciate it, but no. I'm fine thank you." I planned to leave, but he grabbed my hand clearly having none of it.

"Look. I feel terrible for what just happened. Just let me make it up to you, it would mean so much to me. You can leave as soon as I'm done."

I don't know if it was the way he looked at me or his slightly annoying persistence with this, but, "Alright."

He smiled boyishly in relief. It almost looked adorable, "Thank you."

I could sense his charm, but determining whether it was sincere or not was unclear. Only time would tell.

His house was just as normal as any of the other houses in the neighborhood. Nothing out of the ordinary stood out.

It's almost too ordinary.

He also kept true to his word. It was obvious that nobody but him had been inside the house for the last couple of hours. I didn't think much of it.

Removing my shoes out of respect, I silently followed him upstairs to what I assumed must have been his bedroom. Still being gentlemanly, he held open the bedroom door allowing me inside.

I still had doubts about his odd behavior, but I decided I didn't have enough reason to act against it, "Take off your jacket."

I was stunned by the change in tone, until I spotted the first aid kit between his hands, "Oh right."

As did as I told, not sure why I seemed so aloof in the first place. Worst thing that could happen is that I have to kill the guy if he tried anything funny. I so wasn't in the mood for that today, but I wasn't planning on being helpless either.

Sure enough, a nasty looking bruise formed on the shoulder of my right arm which could have only come from our collision earlier. How could I've missed that?

"Just as I thought. Hold still, this might sting." He warned placing a cold compress gently on my shoulder.

Even though it would heal in no less than 20 minutes I accepted it anyway keeping it in place as to not raise suspicion, "Thank you."

"You're welcome Miss…" He arched an eyebrow.

"Roger, Gina Roger."

He laughed nervously, "Right. Miss Roger."

"Please, call me Gina." There was no need to be so formal.

"Gina…"He sounded out my name slowly, as if savoring it.

Okay… "And you are?"

He cleared his throat, "Yagami. Light Yagami."

"Right Light. So tell me, why don't you have a Lifespan?"

He seemed stunned, "I-I don't know what your-"

"Usually I can see people's names and lifespans, but you," I continued in thought, "I just see your name, how strange."

"She must have the Shinigami eyes." The creature behind Light had finally chosen to speak up. I could see him all along, he's an odd one at that, but I chose not to say anything. Half the time I'm not sure if what I see is real, but now I knew for sure this creature was.

Shinigami eyes, huh?

He smiled, "You caught me. That's because.." Turning away from me in his computer chair he fumbled with the top drawer pulling out a black notebook of some sort, "I am Kira, the new world's lord and savior."

I've heard about Kira and it's was true what they said. He really believed he was the lord and savior for a new world. A new world without criminals.

The words scrawled across the notebook were easy to make out. D-E-A-T-H N-O-T-E. Death Note?

"I bring justice to those who are corrupt and have done nothing, but harm the innocent." I no longer needed the cold compress, my bruise almost completely gone.

"Really?" I smiled, "And how does a notebook kill criminals?"

"Simple really. Just need a name and face." His voice sounded more cocky, more sure of himself. This was who he truly was. I wonder…

"I don't believe you." Maybe a little push would even out the playing field.

He glared, "What are you saying?"

"Prove it. Write down my name. Kill me with that notebook of yours." Check point. The creature had burst into a sinister laughter as Light remained silent, "I dare you."

With a sudden new found assurance he whipped open the notebook to a fresh page scrawling my name across it. A wicked grin on his face, "You just messed with the wrong god."

The plan worked just as I hoped it would. I began to laugh, "What's so funny?" I ignored his question letting the clock run down, "What?! What is-"

"I'm so sorry Light, but I'm just afraid death and I are just too good of friends."

The creature laughed once more, clearly finding everything as amusing as much as I did, "She's good."

The bruise had been long gone before I had removed the compress dropping it casually to the side. Feeling much more in control of the situation, I stood with confidence shutting the drapes of his open window blocking out the last few rays of the setting sun, "There. Much better." No longer having to protect my eyes, I removed my sunglasses slipping them into my pocket.

His brown eyes stayed glued to my every move, notably with fear as well as a hint of interest, "What are you?"

Well, I can't remember the last time someone asked me that. "You see Light," grasping the handles of his chair I bent over him the fear in his eyes becoming more evident, "I'm not like you. You live among the living and I the dead. You, like all mortals, will eventually die under natural causes and I will live forever." I flashed a fang for effect, getting my point across.

His eyes widened the fear taking hold over interest, "So you're a…"

"Exactly"

He did the last thing I would ever expect, "Are those for real?" he reached out to brush one of his fingers against my fangs. Knowing how sensitive they could be to any human contact, I did my best to dodge, but was too late.

Out of reflex I applied just enough pressure to break the skin drawing blood. The blood tasted warm against my tongue sending my body into overdrive. Once I had just one taste it always became hard to stop even when I was younger.

I took a step towards the window, trying my best to distance myself from the now occurring problem, feeling my eyes sting with need, "Gina…" I could feel his heartbeat against my back as his breath left the skin around my ear tingling. Damn it!

"Stay away." I managed to choke out as a struggled to keep my bloodlust on lock down. It caused too many problems in my life. I thought I had found a way to keep it under control, but I was so very wrong.

"It's okay Gina…I don't care." His soothing voice hypnotized me as well as shocking me. No human has ever willing given up blood for me. What is he playing?

The smell, the sweet scent was tempting me further, making it harder to concentrate.

He spun me around to face him, his eyes appearing softer than before. He offered his hand, his finger bleeding heavily, "Take it."

That was all I needed to hear.

Gently wrapping my lips around his bleeding finger, I slowly graced my tongue over the wound savoring each sweet sweep across my taste buds. I became lost in the taste giving in to my usually forgotten bloodlust.

Shame came next, feeling my face heat as I gave back his hand before I would lose it, "I'm so sorry I-"

My apology was cut short as his lips crashed against mine in a passionate kiss. Still half dazed with bloodlust, I complied allowing him to bring me closer from the waist.

A few seconds later, he gently broke the heated kiss trailing past my jaw line and up to my ear whispering breathlessly into it, "Together we can stop all who opposes us of making a better world."

We had only met hours ago, but somewhere beneath all that bloodlust triggered something. Something deeper that was far from my understanding.
