DEATH NOTE XL

Spawn of Kira

The minute Misa heard of her fiancée's death she packed up all her belongings and moved to Hon Kong. Once news had gotten out about who Kira really was, and that she was marrying him, her career went into the gutter. At that time she had already acted in four movies and still lived off the money she earned, so she was able to provide herself with essentials needed to live. Because police could not prove her working with Light or the fact she knew about him being Kira, they had let her go after a number of interrogations. Before leaving Japan, Misa stared in one last movie called Death Note. She had only gotten the part because of her relationship with Light in the first place. After that, she married to Tim Fallaway, a guy she had met while working at a bar. Soon after that she had given birth to Jake Fallaway. Tim was so proud to have Misa bear him a son, but guilt tore away at Misa until she thought she would die from it. Jake wasn't his son. No, he was the son of the God that Misa had fallen in love with and swore to always love till the day the world stands still. He was the son and heir of Light Yagami…..

13 Years Later

Jake Fallaway was walking home from school. He had fresh bruises' on his face from getting beat up like he normally does when he goes to school, just for being the son of Misa. Warm blood from his mouth was dripping on his white shirt and black pants school uniform. After going to school for years and now being a seventh grader in Quanto middle school, he was use getting his ass kicked because he was smart and because of his mother's past. He was walking pretty slowly, he was in no rush to get home, for the worst beatings came from there. His dad Tim Fallaway was a ten year alcoholic going on eleven and constantly abused Jake and his mother 24/7. The only time they get peace is when he was at work or asleep. Tim Fallaway use to be an actor and the media said he had great potential for his career, but when news got out that he was marrying Misa his career, like hers, went straight into the gutter. The once protégé actor was now a has been. After their marriage unable to support his wife and soon coming child he went to work in the mines and has been working there ever since.

In thirteen years he has had only two promotions and has turned to drinking to solve his problems. He blames Misa for everything. He blames her for ruining his career and his social status, and that she damned the whole family to hell. Tim hates Jake calling him a worthless child because he is not interested in playing sports or following in his father's footsteps and becoming an actor. Jake's left eye was beginning to swell. Paul Wong, his number one bully really did a number on him today. Some teachers would see him getting beat up after school, but would do nothing because they believe he deserves it. Jake has only had one girlfriend in his whole life, but he believes she only went out with him because she pitied him.

Her name was Ariel Mays. Her family consisting of her, her mother and father, and her little brother had moved to China from America when Jake was in the fifth grade. She moved right next door to him and since they were in the same grade they quickly became friends, and then soon after more than friends. Last year Christmas Eve she broke up with him. All she said was that "Things have changed and we can no longer be friends." That was all she said leaving him in the bitter cold snow as she turned around and walked away. There was not a tear in her eye or a sad expression on her face she was as cold as the snow that day, and for Jake the blizzard hasn't stopped since that day. Every time since that day, when they would see each other, the moment would be awkward. They would make quick glances at each other but wouldn't say a word.

He was now passing her three story house. Her house was very beautiful. It was blue and white and her mother had planted roses and tulips out in the front yard near the porch. Jake stopped walking when he finally reached his house. It was just a plain white two story house. The house consisted of three bedrooms, but Tim made Jake sleep in the basement saying he wasn't worthy of a bed. Jake inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. He made his slow trek up the drive way and up the porch to his house. He opened the door and already heard the yells and screams of his dad yelling and his mom crying.

"You bitch" yelled Tim, "I gave you everything you ever wanted, I gave you the life most women dream of, and this is how you repay me by fixing mashed potatoes, chicken, and some raggedy ass peas for dinner? Tim slapped the plate of food off the table sending the plate flying across the kitchen until it shattered against the wall. Jake walked in just in time to witness the whole scene. Tim was standing there in nothing but his boxers and his face blood shot red with rage. Misa was on the floor in her white night gown, tears running down her face, sobbing in despair.

Jake watched the whole thing with an expression less face. For him this was normal anything less would be weird.

"What the fuck are you doing here" yelled Tim at the top of his lungs even though Jake was standing right there.

"I live here" Jake simply replied, without changing his expression.

"You shouldn't even be living here. You don't bring any money into this house, all you do is sleep, eat, and breathe up all my fucking air." yelled Tim violently as he picked up a plate from the dish rack and threw it at Jake. When you're living in a house with a drunken lunatic, you pick up a few things. One of the things Jake picked up was cat like reflexes. He ducked, letting the plate shatter into millions of tiny pieces making a bigger mess in the kitchen.

"You never bring any money into this house" responded Jake "all you do is spend your money on booze and cheap liker."

Even with cat like reflexes, Tim rushed Jake so fast that Jake had little time to respond. Tim was soon on top of Jake raining down punches like a UFC fighter. "No," was all that could shout as Tim rained fire and brimstone down on his son. The ass kicking Jake got earlier at school was nothing compared to what Tim was giving him. Blood started to flow heavily from Jake's nose and mouth. Misa jumped on Tim clawing and hitting him trying to pull him off but it was no use. Tim was too angry and too drunk to care or feel anything. Jake's vision begun to get blurry he was losing too much blood and Tim broke his nose. If Jake didn't get out of the situation fast he was going to go into a coma. Years of rage and hatred, held back, that Jake had against Tim finally got loose. Jake blocked one of Tim's punches and responded with a knockout right of his own.

The punch sent Tim flying across the kitchen and into the dinner table knocking it over. Misa and Jake only stared in shock at what had happened. After a minute or two Tim started to groan and sat back up on the floor rubbing his chin with a slight line of blood running down from his mouth. "Finally my son grows some balls" Tim said "now get to your room" he said in a stern voice. Jake did not hesitate, he got up grabbed his book bag and hurried down stairs to the basement. Jake was undisturbed for the rest of the night. He sat in the dusty rat infested basement finishing his homework. That night Jake could hear his father forcing his mother to make love to him. He could hear every moan, groan, and slap he delivered to his mother. Fire, anger, and hate burned inside Jake. That night didn't sleep at all!

The Next Day

The next day Jake woke up to the usual yells and screams of his parents fighting, because of this he never needed an alarm clock to wake him up in the morning to get ready for school. He threw his legs out of bed and accidently stepped on a rat that screeched and then scurried away. Jake got his school uniform out of the closet and then ran down the hallway to the bathroom as fast as he could. The bathroom was his favorite place in the house. It was the only place that was sound proof, which means he couldn't hear anything that was going on outside and no one outside could hear him. Once he was in the bathroom Jake locked the door and took a shower, put on his uniform, and combed his hair. When he got out of the bathroom Tim had gone to work and Misa was sitting at the kitchen table crying. Jake helped her up to her room and gave her some ice to put on her black eye.

Jake made pancakes and delivered them up to his mother's room before leaving out to catch the bus. Jake never ate breakfast, he hadn't had an appetite for breakfast since Ariel dumped him. Jake waited 20 minutes for the bus to come, when he got on there was only one seat left, and it was with Ariel. Jake never had been more uncomfortable in his life. Ariel tired talking to break the tension.

"Ah, how's everything going?"

"Oh I'm sorry were you talking to me Jake?" Jake said in a sarcastic tone without even looking at her.

"Look, I'm sorry" said Ariel. "Trust me I didn't want it to go down like that, but things in my life changed and it would of only made are relationship more complicated."

"Don't give me that crap" said Jake. His tone shocking Ariel. "I'm waist deep in a complicated life, but I didn't blame it on you so don't put yours on me. Admit it you got popular so you had to get rid of me."

There was a pause in the conversation, for at least three minutes Ariel just sat there and looked at Jake with a concerned face.

"Yes" finally said. "That's exactly what happened" as she turned her head away from him. They sat in silence the rest of the way to school.

Jake had managed to avoid getting butt whooping today. All day, all he could think about was the conversation he and Ariel had on the bus. It was the first conversation they had in a year, and even though her words hurt him some part of him was telling him that there was more to their break up than he knew. He didn't have chance to think about it long because as he walked up to his house there was a gang of cops and fireman at his house. Immediately Jake's heart dropped. He knew that whatever had happen it was bad and that the event was going to change his life.

Jake sat in the waiting room of the hospital. It turns out that Tim had beat Misa so hard he broke two ribs, her jaw bone, and ruptured a lung. The neighbors had gotten tired of hearing the screams and the arguing so they called the cops. Actually it was Ariel's parents who called the cops. The media made a big headline of the situation and it even got to news on the TV. They called it The Forsaken Relationship. The media had gave a background on Misa and Tim and then said how for the last thirteen years unknown to the public Misa has been suffering from a physical abusive relationship. If there was ever a chance for Tim to get back to his acting career it was gone now.

After getting the go ahead to see his mother Jake walked in to Misa's hospital room to see her hooked up to an IV tube, and oxygen mask on her face, and that machine that goes beep every time her heart beats. Jake went and sat in a chair beside her. He could see the blackness and swelling around Misa's eyes, the bleeding from her nose wouldn't stop so they had stuff her nose with tissue causing her to breathe through her mouth. Every breath Misa took was slow and heavy, like it was hard for her to even breathe at all. Jake was the only one in the room, being known for being associated with Kira was so bad that her own family resented her. Jake tried to hold it in, but the tears slowly began to roll down his cheeks. Misa heard the whimpers of her child and decided it was time to tell him the truth!

"Jake", started Misa "I want you to listen to me very carefully. What I'm about to tell you may shock you, but it is important, so when I tell you, you have to promise me you won't freak out. You Promise?

Jake only nodded his head back and forward saying yes as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Misa sat up in the bed and looked at the door carefully to make sure no one was outside listening. "Tim is not your father" Misa said in a low whisper! The very words cause Jake to throw himself from his seat and look at his mother in disbelief. He was shocked to find out Tim wasn't his dad, but was somewhat relieved by the information. Jake hated Tim, and now that he found out that Tim is not his father made it easier for him to hate him.

Misa waited for Jake to absorbed all that information before she told him the rest. After Jake calmed down and sat back down in his chair Misa readied herself to tell him the biggest news of all! "Light Yagami aka Kira is your real father"! The news shook Jake to the core and this time when he jumped out of his seat his chair crashed to the floor. He thought everything his mom told the cops about having nothing to do with Kira was true. She was such a good liar that she even fooled him. Jake's body begins to tremble. The man his mother worked with and the icon of justice he idolized was his own flesh and blood father. Misa had grabbed Jake's hand to snap him out of it.

"Listen" she said "cause there isn't much time"

"What do you mean there isn't much time?" Jake asked.

"Don't worry about that" Misa said. "You will soon find out about that soon enough. Right now I want you to go home and go up to the attic, at the very back there should be a dusty old box, move the box and there will be a floor board marked with a red X. lift that up and you will see a shoe box. I want you to retrieve what's in the shoe box understand?

"What's in the shoe box?" Jake asked in a stuttered voice.

"You'll know that when you get it, now go" said Misa giving Jake a push to leave.

Jake rode the city bus all the way to his house, with unanswered questions in his head. Inside he had always liked Light Yagami. He never knew him, but by what he learned off the internet, Death Note documentaries, and from his mother it sounded like he and Light Yagami were the same. He understood now why his mother kept this type of knowledge from him for so long. She did it to protect him, she didn't want the media all up in his face and the pressure and the scrutiny all on his shoulders, but to marry a man like Tim was she out of her mind.

When Jake got to his house the front door was blocked off by yellow tape. Jake ripped the tape off and opened the front door. The whole house was trashed. Glass was everywhere, holes were in the wall, and blood stains were on the floor. Jake made his way upstairs and to the dusty attic. He never been in the attic before, and could not stop sneezing from the amount of dust that accumulated in the house since they moved there. Jake went to the very back of the attic and moved the dusty old box. He got on his knees and lifted up the floor board marked with the red x. His heart started to pound has he saw the shoe box sitting there.

Jake removed the top of the shoe box to find a black notebook with the words Death Note written on the front. Jake recognized it. In fact after the Kira case went public and after Misa's last movie Death Note, Everyone around the world knew what a death note looked like and what it can do. Jake was scared to touch it. He was afraid of the power it possessed and what he could do with that power. But his mom did want him to retrieve the notebook and bring it back to her. If there was anybody who could fix their situation with a death note it was his mom. Jake picked up the death note, but did not see any shimigami or disfigured being. Jake hid the death note inside his coat and caught the bus back to the hospital.

Instead of spending the night at the hospital Jake Fallaway, or his real name Jake Yagami now found himself spending the night at a foster home! When Jake got back to the hospital his mother had died of a heart attack and with his dad in jail Jake had to spend the night at a foster home. In his mother's will Misa said that if anything happened to her that Jake's legal guardian was to be Sachiko Yagami. The thing about that was that Sachiko still lived in Japan and had to take a flight out to Hong Kong to pick up Jake. Jake hated spending the night in the dirty old foster home. The kids were weird and asked too much questions. It was even harder for him to hide the death note. If anyone saw it there would be a giant struggle over it, or even Jake might go to jail for being in possession of it. At the foster home Jake spent most of his time thinking about his mother and what he should do with the death note. The whole world didn't give his mother no respect. After her death the TV guide channel ran a two day special dedicated to her life and after that it's like the world forgot about her.

Jake was in foster care for two days before Sachiko came to pick him up. They didn't talk much on their five hour flight back to Japan and Jake was glad for that. He was still thinking of what he was going to do with the death note. He was surprised he even got the death note by security at the airport by hiding the death note in the lining of his suitcase. When they touched down in Japan it was the best country he ever saw. He loved the lights of the city and the girls were at the peak of temptation. When they finally got home Jake set his bags down and went straight for the couch. He had jet lag and was so tired he was about to write his own name in the death note so he could go into an eternal sleep.

"Make yourself at home" Sachiko said, while she prepared some tea. "I'm currently using Sayu's room as a storage so you'll have to use Light's."

The mere mention of the name brought sadness to her eyes, but she tried her best not to show it. Jake later grabbed his stuff and went up to his father's room. Everything was pretty much left the same, the only thing noticeable about the room was that it was kept clean. Jake didn't bother to unpack. He sat down at the desk, turned on the lamp light, and started to think on what he was going to do with the death note. After two hours of thinking and planning Jake decided he was going to use the death note to finish what his father started. Jake was going to rid the world of evil and make it a better place. At least a better world than what he previously came from. But first he had some unfinished business! Jake got the death note out of the suitcase lining he hid it in, got his favorite pen and began to write.
