This story came out of a recent addiction to Death Note and a NEED to write a L story! Soo... here. Kinda making it up as I go along. No plot idea at the moment, but I will get one! I always write the A/N first before the story so that's why the dates and notes might be COMPLETELY different. So, here

I do not own Death Note or any of it's characters but man I wish I did.

P.S. I was gonna use a name other than Alyssa for my character because I bet you're all getting sick of my OC and that name. Well, I looked up the meaning and it means 'logical'. I could in no way turn that down for a Death Note story so... be prepared


I sat in front of my computer, watching YouTube. Bella never did shut up about Death Note at lunch, so she told me about some deleted scene where they show L's funeral and Kira going crazy.

Well, Bella was right. I had decided to go home and watch the scene. L was dead, the funeral depressing, and Kira...God he was screwed up in the head. It only put me on Team L more and more. But L was dead. Yup.

Dead as dead could be

I had promised myself that if and when I got my Death Note, I would not go crazy like Light. I mean, yes, I was already crazy in a way. So were my friends whose names were actually, Kira or Keira! But even though I was a bit insane, I would never be low enough and mentally disturbed enough to claw the ground on my hands and knees where my rival was buried and scream at him how I had won.

That was just sick. No wonder the scene was deleted. Didn't want people going around doing that.

I toyed with the pencil in my right hand, staring at the screen. Maybe it was time to start trying out my new Death Note. I had found it when I was walking home from school. It was lying on the ground, right next to a boulder from my childhood, face up so I could clearly read what it said. Knowing what it was and making sure Morgan was gone, I picked it up and hid it in my backpack until I got home.

Now I was in my family room with my computer on my lap. The note was on my right side, open to two blank pages so my parents would not see the rules. It didn't matter, actually. Because my mom was cooking and my dad was working. Nobody ever bothered me.

I realized, though the notebook was skinny, it was actually bigger than it looked. There were many, many blank pages. I had also realized, that the notebook had been used before. Many of the used pages were torn out, but some were left in. I flipped through them.

I recognized Japanese kanji, but didn't know what it meant for the name. It was just the name, so that person must've had a heart attack. On the next page was Kanji written several times over, looking very similar. Hm... for some reason that set of kanji seemed very familiar.

The page next to it only had one, large and bold name written. Lind, L, Tailor. Now why did that sound so familiar?

I flipped through more names. Some were just Kanji, some English. Some had no description of death, some had a small description, some took up the whole page.

Another one that struck me was a hijacker on a bus. The before-death actions were very specific, but in the end he jumped off the bus and was hit by a car. Now, I KNEW that I had known that from somewhere. I flipped the next page.

There was somebody's name and pages neatly cut out on a straight edge. I looked down below the kanji and saw an English name.

Raue Penber

My blue eyes grew wide. I quickly flipped to the last used page. It was taped in, taken from another Death Note. The name was simply written in Kanji.

Even though I couldn't read Kanji, I knew that set anywhere.

Yagami Light

I sat there and just stared at the black magic notebook in my hands. The realization had hit me when I saw Raue's name, and then Light's.

This had been Light's Death Note. The weapon he used to disguise himself as Kira. And the taped in page was from Ryuk's second Death Note, telling me that in the end, he would turn on me.

I breathed deeply and looked to my left and gasped. If my mom had asked, it would've been the video on YouTube.

No, it was Ryuk, standing there. The black and blue Shinigami stared at me with his yellow and red eyes. I knew about the Deal too. No way was I stupid enough to do that. Everybody I wanted to kill, well, I already knew their name.

I looked away from Ryuk and stuck my iPod ear buds in. Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Evanescence and 3 Doors Down would hopefully make Ryuk go away.

I'm a blonde girl, and music isn't going to stop my curisosity. I made it look like I was looking at my DS or homework when I would occasionally glance down at the notebook. I had flipped to the front and was reading the rules.

"Gotta go to the bathroom" I announced to my mom cooking dinner. She just nodded when I closed out YouTube and hurried up the stairs with my iPod and Death Note.

I flopped down on my bed, not even thinking about the bathroom. I lay on my back and held the Death Note up in the air, sometimes whispering aloud the rules I was reading.

"UGH!" I shouted. Ryuk was standing my my vanity and looked a bit curious.

"You're Ryuk, aren't you? The original owner of this Death Note. You wrote this, didn't you?"

"Yes... how would you know that?" asked Ryuk. I smiled. "I know my stuff."

I read about two more rules. "Omigod! This is so annoying!" I shouted at the book.

"What?" Ryuk asked.

"There's 59 rules for Heaven's sake! And most of them either contradict or repeat each other! You're TERRIBLE at writing this! Even your handwriting sucks! Half of this looks like Erick wrote it!" I shouted, referring to the boy in my class who had the worst spelling and handwriting.

"Sorry, but I'm a Shinigami. I'm not here for perfect handwriting. I don't even speak English all that well."

"Then why are you here? Oh, wait! Lemme guess. You dropped your Death Note in search on entertainment from humans and I just so happened to pick it up. Now you have to follow me around until I either lose it, fill it up, or I die. One, I never lose important things. I spaz when I don't have my iPod with me, so you can cross that one off. Two, you even WROTE in here that the Death Note never runs out of pages, plus! I can use the not entirely filled up pages and I can have tiny writing. So the only way you're getting this baby back is from my dead body."

Ryuk honestly didn't know what to say. I had just back-talked a God of Death. Not one of you're brighter moves, Alyssa.

"I had a feeling you would want to keep the Death Note, but just to let you know..." he paused and leaned forward, "humans who use the Death Note can go to neither Heaven nor Hell"

I flipped to some of the first rules and held the book up for him to see. "I already knew that. You wrote it right here," I pointed to the rule. Ryuk leaned in closer. "Wow, guess I did"

I pulled back the book and closed it studying the cover with its silver letters. "Plus," I added, "I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. I believe in ghosts and reincarnation, and just to let you know, I'm an old soul. I know a whole lot more than you think a 12-year-old girl would."

"Like what?" Ryuk asked, curious in finding more about the blonde who was back-talking him with a stubborn nature.

"You'll see. But just to inform you, I'm not nearly as smart as Light. He was killer, literally."

"How do you know about Light?" he asked.

"As I told you before, I know my stuff"

"So you gonna entertain me like him?"

"Wait, you mean go on a homicidal rampage, infiltrate the police, screw up my life dramatically, get myself shot and go way beyond crazy with power? Um, no. I'm not a crazed serial killer, the only officer I have in my family is my uncle who lives about 4 hours away from here and I would NEVER know how to hack his computer for info I needed to kill more criminals."

"What about screwing up your life, getting killed, and going crazy?"

"Um, if I sensed my life was becoming screwed up out of control, I would stop using the Death Note for a while and let my life get fixed. I'm not gonna become addicted like him. Going crazy? Ha! I already am in a way. I've had power before. Power was new to Light, and that amount was too much for him. People already fear me, and I do sometimes take advantage of that but I'm not gonna go insane. Getting caught? I'm an MG student. TalentPool, Seminar, Mentally Gifted. All the highest thinking classes. I'm a wonderful actress when it comes to stuff like this, and I would be much more of myself than Light was when dealing with his enemy. Furthermore, if criminals in Japan start having heart-attacks again, the police will go into a frenzy convinced that they did not catch the real Kira and that he's in Japan."

"So, Light quickly came up with a place to hide his Death Note where people can't get to it. You do know that-"

"That if another person touches the Death Note they can see and recognize your voice just as well as me. Yes. You wrote that in the rules as well."

"Wow, I feel quite stupid right now"

"Ha!"

"So, where are you going to keep it safe?"

I rolled over onto my side and reached my right arm down under my bed skirt with the Death Note in my hand. I placed it upside down on top of my Pokemon book.

"Under your bed? Isn't that, risky?" asked Ryuk. I pulled my arm back up, sat up and leaned against the wall.

"A little. Nobody but me ever goes under my bed. I have no siblings to worry about, my Dad would never think of it and my Mom thinks I keep diaries and any book I was reading before bed that I was too lazy to get up and put back on the bookshelf under there. She's right, but she has no reason to go through my stuff and I've already warned her to NEVER go through my diary. Since this is upside down, and if she ever did look under my bed, she would probably think it's a diary or book because it's a small spot to lie in to see under the bed, plus my table and bed skirt shadow everything under there so only the things on the end look like the have color and are distinguishable."

Ryuk, again, didn't know what to say. Light had built a whole secret bottom and even played with fire. I was doing one of the simplest hiding places in the book because I had practice with that type of thing.

"And if she does see, I'll take it to school with me and use it there. If my friends ask what it is, I'll just show them the Kanji already written. Most of them won't look twice and notice Death Note written in the corners. If they ask I'll say it's from some manga or anime I like. My teachers will think I'm taking notes and the people who would notice it's a Death Note I barely ever see and they know how to keep a secret. They also know how to act if it comes down to Ally finding the note. If they accidentally touch it and see you, they'll ignore you. If she accidentally touches it and sees you, we'll pretend she's hallucinating. If I have to, I'll use it only at my locker and never bring it home. If Mom asks, I misplaced it and it's probably in my disaster for a locker."

"Wow, you really think this out, don't you?"

"Dude, I thought this out in 5 minutes!(literally) I have practice with this. Mom doesn't like me reading Rosario+Vampire so I sneak a volume into school every so often and read it there. She never notices if one is missing and that when one is missing, it might return and another disappears. For a long time I kept some under my bed and she never even noticed them. Dad is oblivious to the whole thing!"

"So, do you think things will change when you become...obsessed?"

"I won't become obsessed. I'm not sick minded like Light. There are very few people I want dead and I don't need the eyes to kill them. Yes, I know all about the deal you wrote it about 20 times in here. Anyway, I might kill a criminal or two and if I wanted to do more I would make sure they were Japanese so the FBI would go into this whole 'Kira is a Japanese serial killer playing God' case again."

"Do you want to play God?"

"I have Sims! I play God every day with virtual people! When I have a bad day at school I load up the game, blow one of them up and laugh at the screen. When I have a good day, my Sims get pregnant or married. I would love to rule the world, but not like this. That is too much power for one sole person to have. My Sims can't see me, I'm not one of them, and they think I am God! People in the real world would refer to me as a second Hitler or Kira if I were like that. I already have a place where I can go and play God and be content. I don't need more power like that. And as I said earlier, there are a few I want to kill for personal reasons and not because they're a criminal, but because they annoy the living crap out of me every day and my life as well as others would be better off without them."

"Alyssa! You still in the bathroom?" shouted my mom from downstairs.

"Coming!" I shouted.

"So, you seem quite ready for anything. Will this be as entertaining as Light?"

I had the door half open and was half out. I turned and looked at Ryuk. "Nothing is guaranteed" I said and shut the door behind me.


So that's it! That is probably the fastest I've ever typed a chapter. Literally, like 2 days at the most. Most of this chapter has taken me about 15 minutes. When I was writing my responses to Ryuk, I did quickly think those up.

So? What do you think? REVIEW! This will become a story featuring L and Light later on.
