The Killer Data

Chapter 1
-------------
It's been twelve midnight and almost everybody in the town was silently wandering through the land of dreams except for our crazy guy here whose knowledge keeps on entering his head. He didn't mind the time; he still continued scribbling some notes for their upcoming match like there's no tomorrow.
Time continued to pass and it seemed that it has no effect on him at all. He didn't even feel sleepy since all that his brain could contain at that time were data about how his team would win in the Kantou Regional Tournament.
He carefully planned how to win the game. Exhaustion and lethargy, behind his thick pair of eyeglasses, were visible in his eyes. He had written enough data but it seemed that he still wanted to add more.
"If I'll hit it using a back hand stroke, there's a 90 percent possibility that he will return it using a weak smash…" He really can't be stopped. Truly, he really deserved to be a regular player of the famous Seigaku Tennis Club.
"…then I will counter-attack it with a stronger smash going to the edge of the court." He had written more data than he expected, and it seemed that his beloved data notebook was running out of leaves.
When he reached the last page, that's the only time he realized that it's time to sleep. "I almost didn't notice that this notebook is running out of pages. This is also my last data notebook." After saying those comments he glanced at his clock that was hung on a green-painted wall. "The store which sells school supplies in the nearby street opens at exactly 11 o'clock in the morning and if I'll wake up an hour before the store opens, I still have nine hours of sleep. It's quite enough to regain my lost energy."
He started to fix his things and he vigilantly checked that all his stuffs were organized. He carefully placed his beloved eyeglasses on a small table beside his bed, set his alarm clock, and wore his eyemask. He quickly fell asleep.
The next day, as what he had planned, he woke up one hour before the shop where he can buy his favorite data notebook opens. The notebook had a green cover and it seemed that it can posses an enormous amount of power once he had used it.
"Maybe I need to buy three more extra notebooks in case of emergencies." He cheerfully entered the store then he suddenly spotted Eiji, the naughtiest in the team. The smile that once plastered on his face was easily erased.
Inui tried to avoid him but it was too late. Eiji quickly followed him and started to ask too many annoying stuffs. Inui was getting to be pissed off.
"Hey Inui! It seems that you're not wearing weights anymore. Have you stopped doing your daily training routines? Eiji asked while slapping Inui's back.
Inui tried to maintain his composure by putting his eyeglasses back into place. "Wearing weights all the time is not good for the body."
It seemed that Eiji heard nothing and still continued irritating his friend. "By the way, what are you doing here in the store? Are you going to buy something?"
"Of course I'm going to buy something that's why I'm inside a store! You stupid neko!" That was all in Inui's trail of thoughts. He wanted to shout it out but his throat seemed to be dry.
"Com'on Inui, Let's go have some fun first!" Eiji dragged the poor 'data expert' without even giving him the chance to complain. Inui knew that whatever you'll do, nobody can refuse this mischievous 'acrobat player.'
"Where are we going?! Get your hands off of me Eiji!"
"Don't act like a child Inui. I know you'll like it." Eiji winked then plastered a very mischievous smile.
"I'm not acting like a child. You're the one acting like a very naughty kid!" Inui retorted.
"I've heard that my favorite pop idols, 'The Chocolates' are going to shoot their latest music video for their newest album in a nearby park here. I know that you also wanna see them again. Trust me." A roguish smile was still on his face.
Obviously, our naughty neko overpowered the data specialist. They arrived at the park where the shooting for 'The Chocolates' latest music video holds. The place seemed to be overcrowded with lots of excited people aiming to have a glimpse on their favorite pop idols. In the midst of the sea of the screaming fans, Eiji could not afford to lose. He must see his favorite singers no matter what.
Eiji tried his best to gain an ideal position where he can make a perfect glimpse on his favorite pop icons but he failed. With this number of people, where you can't even drop a needle, how can Eiji get a sight on his dream girls? He got easily irritated and returned to Inui's side pouting.
"Waaaaaaaah!!! It's so frustrating! Why can't I find a perfect spot to view those pretty girls?"
"Why don't you use your acrobatic skills?" Inui said with confidence while pointing on a tree nearby. Eiji's eyes widened with delight because of his friend's great idea.
"Oh yeah! Inui, you're really a genius! Thank goodness you're here to save my day!" Eiji hugged him very tight.
"With that height, when you reach the top, there's a hundred percent possibility that you get a full view to your favorite pop idols within 150m radius." Inui assured while putting his eyeglasses in place.
Eiji animatedly climbed up the tree using his energetic body. Inui was satisfied because his plan of getting rid of him succeeded. He immediately returned to place where he was supposed to be.
On his way back, he saw a very suspicious thing: a black notebook. When it comes to stuffs like this one, even though he does not possess a 20/20 vision, it looks like his eyesight is above normal.
He drew himself closer to the notebook to get a better view and beyond his expectations, it struck his attention. He read the words that were written on the cover of the mysterious thing and he chuckled.
"Death Note"
When he finally tried to open it, he can't resist bursting out laughing because of its contents.
"The human whose name is written in this note shall die."
"I wonder who the crazy guy behind this foolish notebook is."
Even though he thought that it was only some practical joke, he didn't notice that he had carried it up to his home after buying the things he supposed to buy on the store.
When he reached his own room, he set aside the things he bought and the 'Death Note' on top of his study table.
"The possibility that the things written inside this notebook were genuine… is… zero percent." But the other side of his brain says that there's no harm in trying…
To be continued…

Next Chapter:
"Where did you leave the notebook?"
"Could you please stop asking stupid questions Ryuk!"
"Com'on, let's just go home so that I can eat apples!"
"I really don't remember where I dropped it. You know, it's better if you'll just help me find that fu--ing notebook instead of irritating me. I'll give you apples more than you asked for if you'll just find the notebook."
"Hontou desu ka? (Really?) Alright! I'll help you right away!"
