This is my first fanfic, bows I hope you like.
Disclaimer: I don not own Death Note nor anything from it.
"Help me Ryuk!" Raito pleaded as the Shinigami wrote his name into the Death Note...
Then there was nothing but silence and darkness.
"Is this death?" thought Raito. "...What else could it be? But...wait, I'm...breathing?"
Raito opened his eyes to a white light.
"Heaven?"
"Raito!?"
Raito turned his head in the direction of the voice and found his sister starring at him with wide eyes.
"Sayu?"
Sayu had gotten up and ran towards the door, opened it, and yelled,
"Mom, Dad! Raito's awake!!"
Both Yagami's ran into the room. Raito sat up very confused about the situation.
"Thank God," said his mother as she burst into tears.
"What's going on?" asked Raito. "Why am I here? None of this is making any sense," he thought.
"What? You don't remember!?" exclaimed his sister.
"Remember what?" he replied.
"You were hit by a car son," said his father. "You were on your way home from school and a drunk driver came from behind and hit you. The driver swerved and hit a telephone pole and you flew into another direction."
Raito couldn't believe what he was hearing. How was this possible? The last thing he remembered was Ryuk writing his name in the Death Note. A human's name that is written in the book shall die. And if a human uses it they cannot go to heaven nor hell. So how is it possible that Raito is still alive?
"You had lost so much blood doctors didn't think you would make it, and then you were stuck in a coma. The doctors didn't think you would ever come out of it," said Sayu.
"A coma?" repeated Raito. "So the Death Note, Ryuk, L...was nothing more than a dream?" he thought.
"I'm just glad that your back," said his mother.
"Yeah, me too" Raito replied.
Weeks later Raito went back to school living his life as if nothing had happened. But he couldn't help but think of that bizarre 'dream' he had.
"After all of that, it nothing more than a dream? It felt all too real," he thought. "Well the mind can play tricks on you. And the more I think about it, the more ludicrous the idea sounds. Writing down someone's name in a book and have them die of a heart attack. Have a shinigami watch over you until you die or forfeit the Death Note." Raito shook his head, "its all too bizarre."
He couldn't help but think of his dream as he walked home from school.
"Hello? Anyone here? Oh yeah no one will be home till later."
With that thought he walked to his room to rest for a while. Once he set down his bag he realized a black book on his desk.
"That wasn't there before," he said.
As he walked closer to his desk he stopped and stood there in shock, then picked up the book which had the words 'Death Note' written on it.
"How is this possible? What the hell is going on!?" Raito said nervously.
"Oh, something that rarely happens," came a dark familiar voice.
Raito turned around to see the familiar shinigami he had known in his 'dream'.
"Hey Raito, long time no see," said Ryuk with a cackle.
Raito backed into his desk and said, "How? Why? This isn't happening, that was a dream! Shinigami's don't exist!"
"Oh? But we do. And that was no dream you had, it happened."
He sat down in his chair trying to collect his thoughts and pull himself together. After some time in silence Raito spoke to the shinigami.
"Ok, if that was not a dream what was it? Why am I alive and not dead? Does every person that was involved with my 'dream' remember as well? What exactly is going on?"
"No the people that were in your 'dream' don't remember, only you. Your 'dream' happened but you had gotten another chance at life. Because of that there is a rule that I did not write down or mention to you."
"...Which is?" questioned Ratio.
"There are three conditions to this rule; you have to accomplish at least one. One of them I don't know what it is, another condition is you have to conquer a worthy adversary; in your case it was L. The last condition is if your life is in danger and you beg for your life to a shinigami, that shinigami can save you by writing down your name in the Death Note. Once you 'die' you wake up as if the Death Note never existed and you can go on about your life again."
"...Then why give me a second chance? Why give me the Death Not again?"
Ryuk cackled again, "Because you made everything interesting, I wanted to see what you would do if you were given another chance."
Raito stared blankly at Ryuk. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Also," Ryuk started which snapped him out of a daze, "if you want to forfeit the Death Note you can. You can have your life back the way it was."
Raito stared at his feet and thought, "...Would I do it again? Misa, L, Mikami, Mello, Near, all of them... Shinigami's, Death Notes, Kira... Would I do it all over again?"
