When I'm Gone
A Death Note fanfiction written by Iniesetsu
Chapter 1 - Light Yagami
He lived in a world of bloodshed, unsatisfied with his life. Every night he wondered when it all would end, always, he would try to calculate that date and time. He would apply the every calculation he used to tell when all the others would die, and every time his calculations would fail.
He would walk down the street, his unwanted and unnecessary companions tailing behind him, and see people always doing the same heavily calculated actions. It made him sick and nauseous always watching the same events occur again and again.
He had long ago stopped watching the news. When questioned he merely stated that there was no need to hear about the same events with other people behind them. His family would either laugh or sigh and wonder when he became like "this" as they put it when they thought he was asleep at night.
But things had changed even more after a while; he grew bored and tired of it all. He stopped spending his money and saved it up. He focused more heavily on his schooling, and even started watching the news once more. He often noticed his mother and father becoming less and less tense around him. They seemed happier about his unexpected change in attitude but would always question where it came from. He would smile and tell them a lie, the same lie over and over again.
He started taking more and more care of his appearance; occasionally he would bring home a girlfriend- a new one every four months.
He quickly reached the position of the top student in Japan. He got into the most prestigious high school in the country; he began to help his father on police cases and solve them all easily. He learned tennis and won every tournament he participated in. Eventually he grew bored of it, and quit playing, he even stored away all of his trophies and awards.
He grew bored with his academics and no longer needed to try to keep to his position of top student in Japan. His money in the bank continued to grow until it reached his desired amount of ¥188,790,000 ($2,000,000) thanks to him helping his father on cases.
Tsuki Buji (Light Peace) was an account and identity he had set up when he decided he was going to need a new identity. He started transferring all of the money he earned to the new bank account and only leaving dregs in the "Light Yagami" titled bank account.
He later, using another account and computer, set up an email account to make a connection to the Yakuza. After a year, with the information and help provided to the major Japanese crime syndicate, they finally trusted him and their boss wanted to meet with their so called Tsuki Shugosha (Moon Protector).
Using the little money purposely left in his old account, he purchased a train ticket to Kyoto, packed most of his stuff, and left on a Thursday he had off from school- at a time when no one was home. He staged it all to look like a robbery and kidnapping.

I hope to continue with this fanfic and to finish "The Prince" as well (it will be easier with this one, however, because it is all in my preferred tense- the past).
