Together We'll Make a Better World, a Light Yagami story

My idea so far is an art student and light will join together and try to create a better world…. Yeah that's as far as I've gotten so I'm making it up as I go, hope you enjoy.

"Hey! Akane!" a voice called to me as I was walking. I was on my way home from classes and just wanted to go home. "Akane!" the voice called again and I turned to see a boy with light brown hair and deep chocolate eyes waving to me. I've been friends with the owner of those eyes for quite a long time now. "What is it Yagami?" I asked and he smiled at me. "I was hoping you'd like to come over tonight?" It wasn't uncommon for him to ask. A lot of people, er well girls, hate me for it too. He's blown so many of them off just to hang out. That has always confused me, it's not that I mind or anything, but he has all of these girls throwing themselves at him practically but yet he still wants to be around me the quiet, dark, gothic Lolita girl that doesn't have any other friends. Don't get me wrong I like having him around but sometimes I think it would be better if he would just go out with his other friends more.

"I guess we can, whose house yours or mine?" I asked and he shrugged. "How about mine, mom is cooking your favorite." He said and I smiled. That's another thing; his mom is an amazing cook. I live alone and I'm usually either to lazy or too broke to cook for myself so I've been living off of those just add water ramen mostly. "Sounds like a plan to me." I said and the two of us walked toward his home. We joked lightly and just talked about things.

As we were walking something caught my eye. It was a black notebook with the words Death Note written across it. Light must have noticed it too because he walked towards it. I fallowed and leaned over his shoulder as he picked it up. "What is it?" I asked and he flipped through the pages. There were black ones with white words in English written on them and the rest was blank notebook paper. I took it from him and read it. I was very fluent in English and was surprised by what it said. "Whoever's name that is written in this notebook will die…" I trailed off and the two of us stood and looked at each other. "What do you think, is it real or some angry teen angst?" I asked with a laugh and he shrugged. "Most likely some teen trying to play a sick joke." He said and he started walking again. I fallowed after him shoving the notebook into my bag.

Once inside his house we were both greeted by his mother. "Light welcome home, and it's nice to see you Akane." I bowed and smiled at her. "Thanks, it's nice to see you too Mrs. Yagami." Sayu came into the room and smiled at me. "Hey Akane, what have you been up too?" she asked and I shrugged. "I've been busy with a project I'll show it to you when it's finished, k?" I said and she nodded. I go to the same college as Light but we have totally different majors. I'm in sequential art while he is in criminal justice. "Come on, we can go up to my room and kill some time before dinner." Light said to me and the two of us walked upstairs.

I lied down on his bed and sighed in content. It was just so comfortable. I removed my beanie hat with cat ears on it and moved my long waist length black hair to above me taking up most of his bed. Light turned on his T.V and we somewhat listened to it. I reached into my bag and took out the death note. "You know if this thing works it'd be kind of cool," I said and he stared at me. "You're twisted." He said and I shrugged. "Yes, yes I am, but think about it. There are so many people that are just disgusting and vile and just deserve to die with this thing we could fix that." I said and he turned to me. Within the amount of time Light and I have known each other a lot of things happened to me, the so called accidental death of my parents, my brother's suicide, and sexual assault charges that I had to press on someone I thought was my friend. All of it and more has caused me to believe that there are people who truly do deserve to die. "I guess your right about that," he sighed and I read the rules out loud for the both of us to hear. Light was seriously listening to them too. It would be wonderful if it was real but something this good couldn't possibly work…. Could it?

"It's so stupid," He said and leaned back in his chair. I could hear the curiosity in his voice though. "Let's try it out," I said and went searching in my bag for a pen but once I found it Mrs. Yagami knocked on the door. "Light, Akane, time for dinner." She said and I pouted. "We're coming," Light said as he stood and stretched. He held his hand out to me and it took it from him and he helped me sit up.

During dinner Light's father came in and we all turned to him. "Welcome home father," Light and Sayu said and I bowed my head. "Come dear dinner is ready." Mrs. Yagami said and his father sat at the head of the table. They all talked amongst themselves and I indulged myself in Mrs. Yagami's cooking. It truly was delicious and I didn't feel right talking during their personal conversations. I'm welcome in their home and they treat me like I am one of them but I still don't feel right. "So Akane, what is your newest project?" Sayu asked me, she really likes my art for some reason I guess that's a plus yeah? "I have to write a short story and then turn it into a comic I'm still in the writing though. My short story is kind of turning into a few chapters." I said with a light laugh. "Oo what's it about?" Mrs. Yagami asked. "Well it's about…." I wasn't sure how to describe it to them. In a police force family I wasn't sure how well a story about a murderer would go. "It's kind of hard to explain really, I guess it would be considered a vigilante story." I said. "You're so talented! I wish I was like you!" Sayu exclaimed and I laughed. "I don't know about that."

After dinner Light and I returned to his bedroom. The television was still on and it was playing a story about a man who killed six people and was now holding 8 people hostage. "Can we write that guy's name?" I asked and he took the book from me and placed it on the desk. He didn't answer but I knew he wanted too. Without a word he wrote the man's name down and we both watched and waited. As the seconds ticked on my fingers drummed against his desk in anticipation. The only thought I had was come on book work kill the bastard. Once the time was up Light stood, "I told you it was a waste of time." And as if on cue all of the hostages escaped and there was a report that he did in fact die of a heart attack. I stared in awe as all the children and teachers were running free. Light was horrified. "Dead?" he asked and turned to the notebook. "It's just as the book says… We could change everything we could make everything better just by writing in the notebook." I said with a smile. Light looked to me. "No this has to be a coincidence," he said trying to convince himself that it was a lie. "Then let me see it," I said and took the book from him. Another story about a murderer on trial was on and there was no possible way the guy couldn't have done it. I wrote the name down and kept his image in my head and the two of us watched the screen. Exactly 45 seconds later he died of a heart attack. "Light, this book is amazing." I said and he was just getting over the shock.

"Akane, it's getting late are you staying the night?" Mrs. Yagami yelled up. "No, I'm just getting ready to leave." I called down and retrieved my hat from his bed and placed it back on my head. "I'll see you tomorrow Light, and keep that notebook safe." I said and turned and left his room. "Thank you for the dinner it was amazing." I said and bowed my head to Light's mother. "Anytime, you know you are welcome whenever you like." I thanked her and left to my house which was right next door. Light watched me from his window and I waved to him before entering my own home.

I hope you enjoyed this as my first part, please give me some feedback. And like I said I'm just making this as I go so don't be to harsh. Thank you ^.^
