My first fanfiction ever! Don't go easy on me though! I want to improve, so if there is anything wrong with it, please tell me so I can correct it!
Full summary: Rainbow was just a smart 16 year old girl, who happened to come upon a Death Note. Would the Death Note world be the same if this girl happened to become the new Kira, after killing Light? What will she use it for; Peace, Justice, or neither? Whatever the answer, L and his new apprentice Michizane are here to crack the case of Kira once and for all.
Please rate and review, I'd appreciate it! :]
"Huh? What's this?" asked Rainbow. Rainbow is a young 16 year old girl, who was second to the top of her class. She had a very bubbly personality, socializing with every person she laid eyes on. She had blond hair, dark purple eyes, average height (5'5"), and average weight(around 120 pounds).She was wearing her "custom made" school uniform, which consisted of a light gray short sleeved blouse with a long red and black striped tie, a very dark gray skirt with red and black striped leggings, a red beanie, and some black leather shoes. She loved originality, drawing, and playing her favorite "sport", ping pong. She also liked abnormal things, which is why she was so fascinated with this object on the ground.
"Death Note…? Like, a book of death? Sweet!" said the strange girl, staring at the book with awe. She kept the book with her, and after school, she took it home and inspected it.
At home, she stared at the book. Then, she proceeded to open the book, and came along some rules. She memorized the words, and then recited them to herself, "The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds."
"Seems logical enough to me..." Rainbow said to herself, "but, I'm going to test it out, just in case if it's not the real deal."
Rainbow grabbed a pen and started to talk to herself.
"Okay... Whose name should I write down first?" she asked herself. "Ah! I know just the guy!"
She then chuckled to herself, with an evil yet cutesy smile, and proceeded to write down the name of her unfortunate first victim.
The victim, a boy with longish, brown hair, was standing in a room, looking into a mirror.
"Girl you're my one love… my one heart… My one life for sure! Let me tell you one time! Girl, I love, girl I love you! I'll tell you one time! Girl, I love, girl I love you!" he sung to himself, while putting on makeup and brushing his hair.
Then, out of nowhere, he clenched his heart, and collapsed.
"Justin? It's time for you to sing… OH MY GOD!" screamed a man, horrified. "He's dead!"
"38...39...40. It's been about 40 seconds. He should be dead by now..." whispered Rainbow to herself.
She went over to her TV and turned it onto the news. Sure enough, there was already a whole broadcast of the dead boy, Justin Bieber. She laughed again in her cute, yet evil way.
"That was pretty awesome what you just did there, Rainbow."
"Ah!" screamed Rainbow, unaware that anyone else was in the room with her. "Who are you and how do you know my name!"
The strange voice laughed, but replied, "My bad, let me introduce myself. My name is Rigel, and I am a Shinigami."
"Shinigami...?" asked Rainbow.
She then got a better look at the stranger. He did seem out of the ordinary, with his huge black wings that were bigger than him, white skin, eyeliner, red eyes, black and red fingernails, black uni-brow on his forehead, and spiky black/red hair. He wore a black v shaped jacket with a red shirt underneath, big boots, and red skinny jeans. He was also covered in lots of chains.
"I think you would understand more if I explained it.." said Rigel, "So basically, I am the real owner of that Death Note your holding right there. However, since you have picked it up, you are now the owner. My duty now is to follow you everywhere you go until you die, or until you give up ownership of the Death Note."
Rainbow looked less confused after that, and said, "Okay, that all makes sense, but how do you know my name?"
"It's because of my eyes. These eyes can see the true name and lifespan of any human it sees." explained Rigel, "If you want them, you can make the eye deal with me."
"The eye deal... So I can have your eyes? But what's the catch?" asked Rainbow, suspicious of the very generous offer.
He laughed and exclaimed, "You're a smart girl... and your right! There is a catch. The catch is that you lose half of your remaining life span."
Rainbow was shocked, but spattered out, "H-half? That's a lot of life to lose!"
"Well, I guess it kind of is! However, it's worth it, because you can learn the names and life spans of your enemies. You should think about it..." stated Rigel.
Rainbow didn't know what to think at first, but then she thought, "Sure, I could learn the real names and life spans of my enemies, but to lose half of my life for it? That's pretty extreme, but maybe Rigel is right... it is worth it in the end."
"Okay, Rigel... I accept your offer. Make the trade with me, please." stated Rainbow, confident in the choice she had made.
Rigel was happy, and replied, "Okay! Just be prepared though, this might hurt a bit."
"Hurt?" Rainbow asked, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"OH SWEET JESUS! GAAAHHHHH!" screamed Rainbow, in extreme agony and pain. Her eyes were being pulled out of her eye sockets, and were being replaced with Rigel's eyes. Rigel didn't seem to mind the pain of his eyes being removed, since he was a god of death; a Shinigami. Instead, he just continued the ritual for the eye trade.
After the ritual, Rainbow was breathing really fast and hard, trying to catch her breath from all that screaming. She was also on the ground because her legs were so weak. There was some blood on her face, specifically near her eye-holes, but it was not noticeable in her dark room. She was in some pain, but most of the pain from earlier was gone now.
Then, all of the sudden, a woman bursts through the door of Rainbow's room and asks, "Are you okay, Rainbow? Your father and I heard some screaming from your room and thought something was wrong, so I rushed up here as fast as I could to check on you! Are you hurt?"
Her mother, Patience, had short blond hair, beautiful green eyes, really tall (5'10" to be exact), perfect weight, and had beautiful skin. She was almost like a model, but she prefers not to work in the modeling business, and instead to be a housewife and take care of her only child, Rainbow.
Rainbow lied and said, "Oh no, mom, I'm perfectly fine.. I just fell off my bed and landed on my leg, which kind of hurt it a little, so I yelled in pain... but it's better now, so don't worry about it."
"Phew!" her mother sighed, "I'm so glad that you're not too horribly hurt! Screaming like that, I thought that something horrible was happening! I guess I overreact a bit, being your mother and all."
"Yeah, heh..," reassured Rainbow, forcing out the laugh. She couldn't afford to let her mom know what was happening; heck, she can't afford to let anyone know.
After a moment, Patience started to talk again, "Well, if anything does happen, just let me know, okay?"
Rainbow just nodded her head and muffled, "Uh huh!"
After that, her mother left the dark room, and went downstairs to talk with her husband.
Rainbow sighed, relieved that her mother didn't notice the blood on her face, or the fact that there was a freaking Shinigami in her room.
"Wait, can ordinary people see you, Rigel?" asked Rainbow, curious for the answer.
"Nope. Only those who have touched your Death Note can see me. However, there are other Shinigami in this world, but the only way you can see them is by touching someone else's Death Note."
"Oh, so there are other people here with Death Notes.", she said, started to giggle very cutely, and then whispered, "This should be interesting.."
The next day was a Saturday, so Rainbow decided she would go outside and socialize with her friends, since it was the weekend. She brought a few pieces of the Death Note along with her, knowing that she doesn't need the whole Death Note to kill a person from a little test she did earlier, and a pen, so she could right names down.
She was walking with her best friends, Lillie and Rose.
Rose was older than the two of them, 17 to be exact. She was gorgeous; big and brown eyes and soft, long, and brown hair. She was more of the aggressive type. She had a horrible temper, but is still a really good friend. She is also a HUGE flirt. She was really tall though, going up all the way to 6"1'.
Lillie was the youngest one out of the three, being 16, but younger than Rainbow by 4 months. She had shoulder-length black hair that waved a bit near the ends, and sparkly green eyes. She was the annoying-yet-you-got-to-love-her person of the group. She was almost the same height as Rainbow, but just a tad bit smaller.
"Don't you think Light Yagami is kind of cute?" asked Rose, while staring at a schoolboy with longish short light brown hair, who was playing tennis with a long and dark-haired, weird looking fellow.
Rainbow almost barfed and spat out, "Ew... You know I don't like him Rose! He always gets a higher score on his tests than me, and he makes me so pissed off!"
"Okay then, you can have that other guy who's beating him at tennis." offered Rose, "Although, I've never seen that strange of a guy before."
Rainbow stared at the man more closely. He didn't look familiar at all; long spiky black hair, bags under his eyes, white long shirt, blue jeans, but no shoes. Her Shinigami eyes said that his real name was L Lawliet.
Strange name...I like it. she thought to herself.
She then turned and looked at Light. He had light brown longish-short hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a tennis outfit. She stared and thought to herself, that's odd...there's no life span above his name. Could he possibly have a Death Note?
She stopped thinking, stared at Rose and laughed, "He is a strange looking fellow, isn't he? I do happen to like abnormal things."
"You sure do, Rainbow!" shouted Lillie, "Maybe you two should go out!"
Rose got annoyed and yelled, "Put a freaking sock in it, Lillie!"
Lillie scratched her head, but said softly, "Oh, sorry for being loud..."
"No, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I'm sorry, Lillie." apologized Rose.
"I STILL LOVE YOU!" shouted Lillie.
Then the two of them hugged it out.
Rainbow laughed at them, "You guys are so weird but that's ok!"
"Aw, shut it Rainbow, you're weird too..." muttered Rose, while punching Rainbow in the arm teasingly.
"Ha ha…but anyways, I need to go to the bathroom, so I'll see you guys in a bit." said Rainbow. She then rushed to the nearest public bathroom and ran inside.
Rainbow started thinking to herself, Crap,that Light fellow has a Death Note. I think I should kill him... Yeah, I've always wanted the top score, so if he's not here in my way then I'll get top for sure!
She then got out her piece of the Death Note and proceeded to write down his name.
Ah, yes! Now I must get out of here and back to my friends before the 40 seconds are up. They could suspect something, if I don't. she thought to herself.
Rainbow quickly exited the bathroom and ran back to her friends.
"Hey guys I'm back! So what did I miss?" asked Rainbow, being casual.
Rose looked happy and stated, "Light won the tennis match! It was 6 to 4, I believe."
"That asshole won? Aw man! I wanted that other guy to kick his ASS!" screamed Rainbow, disappointed and angry that Light won the match.
"Ha ha! Calm down, Rainbow! I'm sure he's still the man for you!" piped in Lillie.
"I didn't really care for the other guy, I just wanted to see Light lose for once." huffed Rainbow, blushing a bit.
At that second, there was a bunch of screaming going on over by the tennis courts.
"What was that!" yelled Lillie.
Rainbow knew what had happened, but not to look suspicious, she raised her voice and said, "Come on, let's go check it out!"
The three girls rushed over to the courts, only to find Light Yagami on the floor, clenching his heart.
Rose flipped out and asked, "He's…dead!"
"Oh my god, even if I did hate him, I wouldn't have wanted him to die like this..." said Rainbow, saying it as convincingly as possible.
Rigel started laughing and commented, "You're a good liar, Rainbow!"
Rainbow frowned at Rigel, about to punch him playfully, only to be interrupted by someone shouting, "Wait, what happened to that other guy, Hideki Ryuga?"
Hideki Ryuga?That wasn't his name... Could it be an alias? thought Rainbow to herself.
During the whole controversy, L was sitting behind a large tree.
What happened back there?, he thought to himself, If Light is dead, that means there's no way he could be Kira. So someone there had to of been Kira! But the question is who...
"Hey, Ryuzaki, didn't expect to see you up here!" said a voice.
L's heart rate sped up for a split second, but it slowed once he saw a familiar face; and he sighed, "Oh it's just you, Michizane."
Michizane was an 18 year old man, with long white blond hair and deep green eyes. He was wearing casual clothes; a white T-shirt, green skinny jeans, and white Vans shoes. He was L's apprentice, and his job was to help L with detective work. Also, Michizane was the person who was to replace L, if he were to die of course. He wasn't smarter than L, nor was he as smart, but he was pretty damn smart. He was always at the top of his class when he was in school; straight A's and all 100% in every single class, every single year.
Michizane got right down to business and asked, "So, what happened down there? I saw a group of people freaking out down there by the tennis courts!"
"Well, it looks like my theory was wrong... Light Yagami is NOT the guy we're looking for. He died of a heart attack shortly after his tennis victory." said L, very disappointed that he had been wrong. He then sat, or really, crouched down into his usual position.
Michizane wasn't too thrilled to hear that. He wanted to help L in anyway he could, so he tried to reassure him in words.
"Ryuzaki! This must mean that whoever killed Light is the killer that we're looking for! He died by the same symptoms as everyone who died by Kira, and also this must mean that whoever killed Light must know his name and face. Basically, it must be someone close to him; a family member, a teacher, or even a classmate; that killed him, right sensei?" he said to L.
"You're on to something aren't you?" replied L, smiling at Michizane, "Well, based on what you have told me, the person that had killed Light must of been at that tennis match. Then it's settled. Michizane, I'm giving you an assignment."
Yes, sensei?" asked Michizane, eager to know what his first assignment will be.
L looked at Michizane and told him directly, "Your assignment is to gather information on all of Light's classmates. Ask if anyone held a grudge on him or anything that would cause them to kill him. Then, if you manage to find any good information, study the suspect; befriend him, and do NOT give him your real name. Understood?"
"Okay, Ryuzaki. I understand, and I will try my hardest at this assignment!" he said happily. He then ran off without saying bye or anything.
L sighed and lied down against a tree. He started to think, Well this is going to be complicated…
Then he smiled and said to himself, "Yes... Just the way I like things to be."
