"Light!" Kyou yelled as she ran after her boyfriend. He stopped and turned around.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Mind if I come to your place to do homework today?" She asked and gave him that sweet smile of hers, the one he could never resist.
"Of course." He said and put his arm around her as they began to walk. Ryuk laughed at the scene, but Kyou couldn't see nor hear him, only Light could.
"Cute girl I would hate to have her get hurt from this." He laughed again. Light, knowing he couldn't say anything because Kyou would think he was crazy, just glared at Ryuk.
When they got to Light's house he left Kyou and Ryuk in his room alone. Of course Kyou thought it was just her. She opened one of his drawers, the trick one that the death note was in.
'A diary? I didn't know Light kept a diary.' She thought as she felt the edges and underneath it. Kyou was a smart girl, not nearly as smart as Light, but not dumb. At the loud scream he heard Light ran back upstairs.
"Kyou what is it?" He asked as he ran through the door.
"W-what's that?" She asked pointing to Ryuk.
Light's eyes widened, "What's what?" He asked. Kyou looked at him like he was crazy.
"That blue thing." She said.
"Give it up Light. She touched your death note." Ryuk said.
"But how?" He asked as he walked over to Kyou, who was sitting on the floor and holding her head, crying and saying,
"It's all a dream, a really bad dream." Light kneeled next to her and gathered her up in his arms and held her tight. He hated to see her like this, even though he never had before, but he didn't like it.
"Light, what is that thing talking about? What's a death note and why is it yours?" She asked still whimpering a little.
"I found a note book and if you… here." He said and handed her the note book and let her go, but sat next to her still. She wiped away a few tears, tucked some of her auburn hair behind her ear and opened it up.
"It's in English…" She said blankly.
"What can't you read it?" Ryuk asked. She didn't look or even acknowledge that he had said anything. She shook her head as she read.
When she finished with the first page she flipped through it and saw all the names that Light had written.
"You're the reason all of those criminals were killed?" She asked as she stared at the pages with her purple eyes.
"Yes." Light said sounding ashamed of himself.
"Light you're a genius!" Kyou said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked taken aback.
"Killing off all the criminals will make the world a wonderful place! What a great idea!" She continued and Light got the point, she was happy he was using it for good.
"Glad you think so." He said and wrapped his arms around her. He was just happy that she wasn't sad or scared anymore.
"Back to the other questions… what is that blue thing?" She asked again. Light looked into her purple eyes, pleading him.
He turned to Ryuk, "If she knows will she be hurt?" He asked.
Ryuk shook his head, "I don't know. I won't do anything, but if she uses it she will also spend an eternity in neither heaven nor hell. Like you." Ryuk said and Light closed his eyes.
"So she just can't use it?" He asked.
Kyou got an idea then, "He's a shinigami isn't he? A god of death?" She asked. Light nodded.
"You caught on fast…" Ryuk commented. Kyou smiled.
"When you die you won't go to heaven or hell because you filled this out." She said and took Light's hands.
"Let me fill it out, even once, so we can spend eternity together." She smiled at him.
"No." Light shook his head and pulled his hands away.
"Kyou, you're going to heaven and I don't want to ruin that opportunity for you." He said and looked away.
"My heaven exists only with you. If I'm in heaven without you it's just like being in hell." She answered. Light took in a breath, but handed her the death note and a pen.
"Please make it a criminal." He said. Kyou smiled and quickly filled it in, but she didn't do the cause of death so they would die of a heart attack.
"I saw that that guy stole from a bank two nights ago." She said and handed it back.
Light looked at his clock, "Well he's dead now." He said after a few seconds.
Kyou nodded, "So this Ryuk guy is a shinigami right?" She asked.
"Yes, I am." Ryuk answered.
"And I guess you have to stay with Light until the death note is destroyed or until he dies…which ever comes first?" She asked.
"She really is a smart girl." Ryuk said to Light who was just smiling at her.
"Yes she is." Kyou smiled at him.
"No one else can see or hear him right?" She asked.
Light shook his head, "Not one, other than you." He answered.
"So he's been in school with you since you got it?" She asked.
"Yeah, I usually hang around your desk." Ryuk said and smiled at her reviling jagged, razor sharp teeth.
"Why?" Kyou asked with a confused look in her deep purple eyes.
"He thinks you're hot." Light said simply.
She turned to him, "Too bad for Ryuk that I think you're hot." She said and gave him a peck on the lips. She smiled at him for a short while after, than turned to the clock.
"Ah! My mom's going to kill me! I've got to get home. Bye Light." She said as she got her stuff, gave him a hug and ran out the door.
It was funny, and a little sad, when she said things like, "Better get home or my parents will get mad!" because her parents had died when she was just a little girl.
"Why did you tell her that I liked her?" Ryuk asked Light after Kyou was long gone.
"Because you probley do." He answered.
"So? You don't have to tell her." Ryuk responded.
"I tell her everything." Light answered.
"Oh yeah? Then how come you haven't told her of your stalker or how you want to be the god of the new world that will come to be?" Ryuk asked in that obnoxious way of his.
"She'll learn of the stalker tomorrow. As for the god business, I'll keep it to myself until I'm sure of it. Than she will be told." Was all Light said than he went on writing names in the death note.
The next day at school Light could tell that Kyou was trying really hard to cope with Ryuk walking up and down the isles. Light passed her a note when the teacher wasn't looking. It read:
Kyou, chill. Just act like Ryuk isn't there. Like everyone else. Just pay attention to what's being taught. Also, someone's stalking me. I'm gonna need your help to get them off my back. If they catch me I'll be killed. The police consider what I'm doing to be murder.
She read the note very discreetly, which she was good at. Then she passed it back to him. What she wrote said:
Sorry, I'll try my hardest to just act like he's not there. But it's just weird. I'll get use to it. Promise. As for the police stuff, I know. All the people, police included, have started to refer to you as Kira. They took it from the English word of killer I guess… the stalker is creepy. So whatever you need to do to get them off your tail I'll be happy to help with. Like I told you before, I want to help you and be with you for all eternity.
As Light read her note he nodded to her telling her that he understood.
After school he told her to come home with him so he could start the plan to get the stalker reveled then he would take care of him.
"I heard the police have this secret guy named L helping them now too. You have to be extra careful, me too." Kyou said, well she mumbled the last two words.
"If you want out of this just tell me, and I'll keep you out of it. I don't want you to feel like you have to do this." Light told her as he took her hands in his.
"Light, I want to. Really… I'm just scared, you know. This has all been kinda fast and sudden." Kyou said as she pulled her hands away.
"I know, but this plan will get the stalker off me, than we can just go on as usual." He promised her.
"No. I want to be told of all your plans and everything you plan to do with that death note. Since I can now see and hear Ryuk it's my problem too. We're in this together." Kyou said as she pushed his shoulder to make him turn to her.
Light nodded to her, "Here's the plan."
That Saturday Kyou and Light met up at the bus station like planed.
"Hey Light! Glad we both found some free time." She greeted him smiling.
"Still okay?" He whispered in her ear so softly when he hugged her that if she wasn't paying attention she would've never heard.
"Yes, I'm fine." She whispered back her own lips barley moving. When the bus got there they boarded it like any other high schoolers' on a date would, except these two were the only ones who knew the events that would follow.
The ride went like any other and all the passengers that were meant to be there were.
The first out of the ordinary event that happened was the bus jacking. A man that had robbed a bank before who was a known drug dealer came on the bus with a gun in hand. He told the bus driver to call someone and tell them the bus was being jacked.
Light and Kyou knew who Light's stalker was, but they didn't know his name so Light couldn't kill him with the death note because to kill with that you need a name and face. And it can't be a fake name either, has to be their real birth name.
So the man behind them was the stalker and Light cleverly got him into a situation where he had to show the two of them his F.B.I ID. Then Light dropped a piece of paper on the ground that caught the bus jacker's attention.
"What's this?" He asked as he reached down for the paper. "Date plans? Stupid teenagers." The man said and threw it over his shoulder to Light.
When he turned around again he freaked out because he could see Ryuk too. The piece of paper was from the death note itself.
The man wasted all of his bullets on trying to kill an un-killable god of death. After he discovered all of his bullets were gone he demanded to be let off the bus right then and there.
As soon as he stumbled off the bus a car came down the road and hit him, killing him instantly.
Kyou swallowed around a lump in her throat as she and Light got off the bus. Light placed an arm around her shoulders as if telling her that he knew she was scared and he would protect her. She looked over to him and he was looking at her.
She smiled and nodded to him, 'We did it and we're safe.' She was trying to tell him.
He nodded back telling her that he understood.
Days went by fast. Kyou barley saw it coming, before she knew it she and Light were at the University Entrance Ceremony.
"Light, I knew you'd get the highest score." She said and gave him a hug.
"Wow, you guys graduated from High school. What's it feel like?" Ryuk asked. Kyou smiled at him.
"I'm not the only one, there's another guy too." He said.
Kyou nodded, 'So it was him…' She thought.
After the Ceremony began Light and the other guy went up and said the speech they were given.
"Great job." Kyou whispered to him when he got back as she gave him a peck on the cheek. He seemed mad and didn't say or do anything.
"I am L." The other guy who had gone up with Light said. Light was shocked and Kyou did her best to look like him. She knew he was L, she'd known for awhile.
