Background:Nicole lived in Los Angeles with her father David Riot(David Stevens)the singer of a famous rockband,Sugar Coma.In 2004,Nicole's mother passed away due to kidney failure,leading her dad,grief stricken, to resort to writing music for his band.Around the end of 2006,David and Sugar Coma began recording a new album.They were scheduled to start touring at the start of 2007.
David didn't want to take Nicole along,afraid it would destract her studies,so she asked if she could go stay with her uncle Shinji(mother's younger brother)in Japan.David agreed to it and that was the end of that.
So it begins...
"Uncle Shinji where are you?",I practically had to yell into the receiver of my cell phone.I was scanning through the hustle of people in the air port,trying to scope out my uncle.
"I'm the one waving the neon green sign with 'N' on it.",Shinji replied.
My eyes bolted around and finally laid on the green sign,evidently with a bold 'N' printed right on there.I wasted no time,grabbed my duffle bags and backpack,and darted for my uncle.
"Uncle Shinji!!",I cried and embraced him,dropping my bags in the process.
"N!!",he laughed and swung me around.He placed me down and grabbed one of the duffle bags.
"Lets go drop these off at the apartment,and afterwards we can grab a bite to eat.What are you in the mood for?"
"What am I not in the mood for,Shinji?",I joked.
He laughed and punched my arm playfully.
"I guess you're right.C'mon lets get going,Agent N."
"Um okay..."
I followed after Shinji out the airport and to his small Mitsubishi Eclipse.Why did he insist on calling me by my band name.I mean I'm pretty sure he knows I can't stand it when people call me Nicole,but he would do it before anyways.What was so different now?
He started the ignition and waited till it warmed up and then we headed out the parking lot and onto the busy Tokyo freeway.
"So how has college been treating you,Shinji?",I asked him,adjusting to my mother's native tongue.
"Oh God!Exams,exams,and more exams!",he whined.
Shinji was only 25 and was entirely devoted to school.He had a job at a candy store at a mall close to his apartment and took night classes.To me it just seemed like Shinji was like any other college student trying to get by,so it made it pretty difficult to actually see him like an uncle.He was more of a big brother figure,you could say.
"So how was school for you back in L.A.?",Shinji asked.
"Pretty easy.I aced my first semester like nothing."
"You do know that your grades were sent to your new school last week.",he implied.
"Yeah and..."
"You were ranked one of the top in your class"
"Really?"
"Is that a surprise to you?"
"Of course not,Shinji.",I said a bit conceited.
"I talked to David about it.He seemed really thrilled about it,but he wasn't too surprised either.I mean he does have a daughter thats fluent in 4 different languages,musically expirienced,and has top marks"
"And I don't even have to rack my brains about it.",I giggled.
"Lucky you,N."
"Hey Shinji,why do you keep calling me N?I mean,I know you,by now you would've been driving me bonkers by calling me Nicole Stevens in every one of your sentences.",I joked.
"I guess your dad didn't tell you then?",he sighed.
"Tell me what?"
"There's been a weird conspiracy going on lately."
"Conspiracy?",I tasted the word,as if it were new to me.
"It's got the FBI involved and everything.Even this special detective"
"And?",I wish he'd get to the point.I hate melodramatics.
"A mass number of criminals have been dying of cardiac arrests or other bizzare forms of death"
"But they're criminals,right?Isn't that a good thing?",I questioned.
"Well it started off that way,at first.But then it lead on to people convicted of certain crimes,but later lead off,so technically they were 'innocent' under the law.Then after them it lead to 12 agents one of them,being their fiancee"
"Wait.And this is all at random or is there someone behind all of this.It seems wayyy too farfetched to be some kind of conspiracy."
"Well actually there is someone behind it.His or her name is Kira.
All we know is that he needs a name and a face to kill.Tokyo has been utterly paranoid since then and this whole thing has kept people on the tips of their toes"
"So that's why you're going by my alias.Just to be on the safe side.Am I right,Hotaru"
"Hotaru"
"I figured as much since you'll be calling me by my band name,I should come up with an alias for you as well"
"Clever.Aren't you the least bit worried though"
"Not at all.I mean you said Kira only goes after criminals or criminal suspects.Why should I be worried"
"Didn't you hear me mention the whole FBI mass murder.Kira has proven that he'll eliminate anyone that stands in his way"
"His way of what?Trying to form a new world with no criminals at all?Sounds to me that this is just probably some kid that's gone power hungry"
"What makes you say that"
"Well 'cause I'm a teenager.My guess is that it was probably a kid that's been bullied around a lot and found some way of killing a mass number of people in secret,or if not it's just probably someone that has a lot of free time on their hands.",I chuckled.
"Well with that theory set aside,we can't be too careful.So you're father requested that you don't do that whole formal introductory thing when you enter class tomorrow.I hope you'll understand"
"Don't worry Shinji,I"m a social butterfly,I don't need some introduction to help me make friends"
"Atta girl.Oh and just to be on the safe side,don't go parading around that you're David Riot's daughter"
"Trust me I won't.I don't like getting that kind of attention and it only leads to false friends"
"Very true.So what are you in the mood for"
"Hmmm some miso soup,spicy calamari,cosmo rolls,salmon crunch,and for desert...",I rambled making a mental list.
"Sorry I asked.",he laughed.
I spread out on my new bed in my new room.We had to cut dinner short due to the fact that Shinji had class tonight.So now I had the apartment all to myself...well almost.
"So that whole Kira thing,you know what I think?",my Shinigami,Saito called sitting on the edge of the bed.
Normally,at first glance,Saito's appearance would be shocking to anyone,but I had grown quite used to it.His face was usually half hidden under a bull's skull he wore like a helmet,only revealing from his mouth down.His attire,that made his nearly his 8 foot tall appearance even more intimidating,was black leather that covered his entire body that had random chains dangling from his arms and legs.To top it off,on his back were dark,bat like wings.
So to sum it all up,Saito could give an old Christian lady a heart attack.
"You don't even have to mention it Saito.I'm on the same page as you"
"Someone has a Death Note within the region"
"Obviously.I mean its just basically strewn out there.The rules and everything.Someone's gotten a hold of another Death Note and they've gone power mad"
"What are you going to do about it Agent"
"Well theres nothing I can do.I said I'd only use my Death Note in case the situation called for it"
"Don't you think this is one of those situations?I mean if you could find out Kira's actual identity and meet him face to face,you can put this to an end.",Saito said.
"It's too risky,Saito.I'd be putting myself at risk.And possibly Dad and Shinji"
"Alright I understand.I guess you've gone this far these past 3 years without really achieving anything with the Death Note"
"Well I can't really say that I didn't achieve anything without it"
"What do you mean"
"Well I met you,Saito,and you're the only friend I had back in LA.Everyone else just liked me 'cause of Dad"
"That warms my black little heart,Agent"
"Don't get all sappy on me,Shinigami.",I went through my book bag and pulled out an apple I had been saving for Saito.
"Oh thank you,Agent!!",he grabbed the apple from my hand.
"I know it was probably really hard going that many hours without one in your system"
"I tried.",he said wolfing it down.
"Well I'm gonna go watch some t.v. before heading off to bed"
I walked out of the room into the living room.I flicked on the t.v. leaving it on the local news and headed to the kitchen.My stomach was growling yet again and i needed to raid Shinji's fridge.
"Rice balls.Sweet.Strawberries.Hmmm.Now all I need is sugar"
I got a cup of sugar and headed to the couch in the living room.
"This just in.A local college professor,Himura Aeko died after walking straight into a moving train.A background check is being done on Himura,to see if it can be linked with the Kira case.",the new anchor announced.
I sighed.
"Welcome to Tokyo,Agent N.",Saito said sitting down next to me.
"Alright,I think I might know a way to lure out Kira.",I sighed.
"And how's that"
"Find some names of criminals in the area,write down their deaths,and make it seem like it was Kira"
"What will achieve by that"
"I'm only gonna do it once.I want it to effect him pychologically.Make him paranoid.See if he knows theres someone else with a Death Note,he might try to spend more of his time trying to find out who it is.We only have to do this once and it'll be enough to make him feel cornered"
"Clever thinking,N"
"I try.",I smirked.
I stretched and stiffled a yawn.
"Think you should head off to bed?First day of school tomorrow.",Saito asked.
"Not yet.I think I'll get to this whole Kira thing right now"
I finished off my last rice cake and grabbed the box of strawberries and the cup of sugar.
I took them to my room and placed them on my desk.I pulled out my Death Note from my book bag and opened it up to the first blank page.
Wow,I'm actually gonna use this.
"I got one for you.",Saito brought in a newspaper folded to a page with a man on the front page.
'Tsubasa Toshiyo is being tried for being a suspect in the case of numorous rapings of high school girls'
"Alright this guy is gonna get it.",I frowned.
Saito chuckled and shook his head.
I wrote down Tsubasa Toshiyo in the Death Note,every character in his name seemed to drone on forever.
Then for the cause of death.I had to be creative.Enough to get Kira's attention anyways.
Something came quickly so I jotted it down.
"Should be on in a few minutes.",I told Saito.
"5 to be exact"
"What did you decide on?",he asked.
"You'll see"
I laid back on my bed and waited those 5 minutes.Then I waited a bit more,about 2 minutes after that until I heard the new bulletin being broadcast in the living room.
"This just in Tsubasa Toshiyo was found dead with this note clutched to his chest.The note is only signed 'Kira'and has a drawing of a stick figure with black bat-like wings.",The news reporter stated.
"That was your plan?!",Saito cried.
"Yup"
"A stick figure with bat-wings"
"A Shinigami,Saito.Think.Clue him in a bit more"
"Ah.I see"
"I'll lure this little power hungry brat out.You can count on it.He's obviously been obusing his Death Note for far too long"
"Yes.I'm positive you will,Nicole.But for now you need some sleep"
"Yeah you're right.",I reached out for my Death Note and closed it,placing it under my pillow.
I crawled under my covers and waited for Saito who laid down beside me.
"Hey Saito"
"What"
"Please don't ever call me Nicole again"
I heard him chuckle and thats the last thing I remember before knocking out.
