Alright, I have had this story on reserve for quite some time, I think it's about time that I let the cat out of the bag! (opens the bag of story) so, here it is! This is my first (and so far only) attempt at a Death Note fanfiction. Please, tell me what you think about it!

If you like, please check out some of my other fanfictions! I am a devoted writer, yet a devoted college student who is about to declare a double major. O.o So, if there is a lack of updates in any of my 'in progress' stories, please bare with me! I also share a computer, so updates might be slow since I am in a computer dependent college and I share it with two other people. O.O

thanks again! Please enjoy!

Light Yamagi, a senior in the middle of his high school year. Light is only seventeen, going to be eighteen by the end of the summer, top of the class without having to work a sweat. There is one secret that no one else knows, he is also Kira. Kira, the legendary killer that has the ability to take out criminals with the Death Note. No one else knows but him, and he doesn't want anyone to know. Light is being hunted by the ace criminal investigator who is only known as L, he has been getting closer and closer to finding Light out with only a five percent chance of this boy being the one. The police looking into it are also working with L but keep it secret, just saying they are having meetings with someone known as Ryuzaki. Both are getting closer yet farther to their goals of finding one another out, but there is an unknown variable. One that no one knew about, one that no one would think would cause any type of problem. What if in the equation of cat and mouse came a mouse trap? The mouse will now have to choose between the cheese in the trap or the cat that is chasing it.
Light sat down in his normal seat by the window, math class was always slow for him. He was the best in his math classes, and never needed to listen to get to know what was going on. He sat with his jacket still on and his tie still on light he just put it on. He rested his head on the bottom of one hand as it was propped up with his elbow and he looked out to the raining outside. It was a calm rain, one that people didn't like but still didn't mind. It was constant but not a downpour. Light kept looking out to it, wondering how he would spend the rest of the day. Once Light got home he would do his work and then start his other job of purifying the world from evil criminal that have done horrible crimes.

He only thought of this power, the power of the Death Note. By having such a power he was now haunted by a Shinigami, a death god that when seen usually meant that death would soon follow. Right now the Shinigami with Light, Ryuk, was sitting on the window sill and also looked outside at the wonderfully dreary weather. The bell finally rang, the school day was over. The entire class cleaned out, Light being the last one. He luckily took an umbrella with him, Light was great at reading others and what things were going to happen. He walked out to the covered area of the school right by the entrance, then took out his umbrella and lifted it above his head. He only needed to hold his arm down at normal level, having it bent perfectly so his arm rested against his body. Light started out into the rain, his bag over his right shoulder as his right hand held the red umbrella. He strolled out casually, Ryuk following with his invisible ways. The two never talked outside of the house, it was too dangerous. Light kept going, onto the sidewalk of the busy street. It was semi-crowded, not a lot of people were out on a rainy occasion like this one.

Light walked on, but then got bumped on his left shoulder. His bag slid down his arm, but he lifted it quickly and still held his umbrella up. The student looked down at what hit him, a girl picking up her books before they got soaked, they had fallen out of her bag. He knelt down and helped with his free hand, the girl was soaked and in the same uniform as his school. She had on the white short sleeve collar shirt, her red tie loose but still on while the top button of he shirt was undone so she could breath, her black hair was to her shoulders and soaked as her bangs were also wet and needed to be pushed off to the sides to be kept out of the way. The girl was frantic to get the stuff somewhere dry, but most was gone by the time her and Light got it in the bag. Both stood, the girl hugging her bag and taking a deep breath. Her beige vest was also wet, her white socks going to her knees and her simple school shoes the same as Light's. Her skirt was a little shorter then the standard, but not as short as some girls put them. It went to the middle of her thigh. The girl also wore a gold necklace with a cross and a gold bracelet on her left wrist with a diamond on the solid gold band. She looked up at him, smiling, and then gave a slight bow. "Thank you so much Yamagi-san." The girl looked back up, apparently knowing his name. Light took a second look, her skin was pale and her eyes were unique.

He took a closer look, making the girl feel a little odd. One eye was brown and the other was dark green. "That's unique." She turned away, the rain still falling down onto her. Light finally held the umbrella over her as well, making her change her glance up to Light as she still hugged her bag. "What's your name?"

"Me? Oh..." She moved her hair out of her face, it stuck on being wet. She shivered with nerves and with the cold of the air against her wet body. "I'm Hikari Yokohama... light just like you Yamagi-san." The girl kept looking up at him.

He nodded, he knew her now. "We're in the same math class, you sit in the back row by the window."

"And you are placed in the third row by the window, two rows in front of me." Hikari noted, giggling with another shiver. She hugged her bag tighter, then gave another bow. "I have to go now, thank you for the help Yamagi-san. I will be more careful next time." She started off, Light just watching her skip off in a type of weightless prance. He kept watching, Ryuk over his shoulder.

The girl was new, she had come into his math class only about two months ago, the same time that L first came on the screens and indirectly challenged Kira to who would catch who. Light didn't walk any faster to catch up, it was good to finally meet the girl but he somehow knew that she wasn't just what the cover of the book read. "She's a unique one." Ryuk chuckled, Light grunted and kept walking home, ready to start his other job and making his perfect world where he would rule and protect the people.

So, what did you think? I know, it is a very VERY slow opening. I will post up File 2 as soon as I can, (again) please pardon the lack of updates. I know that keeps a lot of people from reading my things. Trust me, I think that the wait is worth it! (Then again, I wrote it... u.u)

Please leave a comment!

Thank you! File 2 is coming!
