Well, here is the second chapter. As you may have noticed the intro of the first chapter was based of from the intro from the special on the DVD from Death Note, maybe you will also see some familiar lines in this chapter. And thanks to RutsuSatoshi for helping me with my story, be sure to check out their stories to!
Death Note Afterlife. Chapter Two: A Deadly Decision
Tokyo, Japan;
"Okay that's fine. I don't think my mother would mind that." Sayu said, who was crossing the street along with her boyfriend Hayate.
"Then let's go." Hayate responded.
Sayu and Hayate went to an internet café where they studied for their exams. Sayu became a Law student just like her brother to become head of the police department like her father. After a half day of 'studying' Sayu decided to go back home since it was getting late already. She walked out of the café when suddenly, rain started to pour down onto the streets, so she grabbed her umbrella, and continued to walk home. Before she went home Sayu took a detour to stop at the graveyard where she visited the grave of Yagami Raito, her brother, and of Yagami Soichiro, her father and stood there for a while.
"Father, Raito. I will never forgive Kira for killing both of you, I'm going to be just like you Raito. I will complete your dreams of becoming head of the police just like father." Sayu said.
She continued her wanderings through the graveyard and saw a spot where, strangely, it wasn't raining and walked towards it. She then saw a notebook lying on the ground which said Death Note on it but passed it and continued walking. She turned around after a few steps and decided to pick up the notebook and take it home.
"I'm home!" Sayu shouted through the hallway, her voice carrying all the way to the kitchen where her mother was making dinner .
"Welcome home sweetheart. How was your day?" her mother, Sachiko asked her.
"Good."
"Why are you this late?"
"Oh, after school Hayate and I went to the internet café to study for our exams."
"Okay then. You should invite Hayate over sometimes, would be nice to meet him. But dinner is ready so get ready for dinner."
Sayu and Sochiko ate their dinner and Sayu immediately went to her room after she helped her mother clean the table. Sayu opened the notebook and a page titled How to Use and read the rules.
"They will die?" Sayu mumbled to herself. "This is nonsense. Why would anyone want to kill somebody for no reason?" Sayu said and put the notebook away in the drawer of her desk and turned on the television.
"We are here at the a bank in Tokyo where a man has taken several people hostage. Three of the victims have already been killed but information about the other hostages are currently unknown. The criminals name is Tarou Shibinoshi." a news reporter said.
"So if I write his name in this notebook, he will die?" Sayu thought. "But I can't do that, that's just wrong. To simply kill people, but on the other hand he already killed three people and there could be more victims. And maybe it won't even work." Sayu grabbed the notebook out of the drawer and wrote the name of the criminal in the notebook.
"Well let's see what happens. It says he is supposed to die after 40 seconds." she said as she watched on her watch. 40 seconds had past but nothing happened.
"See I knew this couldn't be true."
"What is this? The victims are coming out of the building, unharmed. We just got reported that one of the victims said the criminal suddenly collapsed while having much pain in his chest. This could be a heart attack." the news reporter said.
"A heart…attack? But this can't be true, I really killed someone? This isn't good." Sayu said.
Sayu logged onto her computer that once was owned by Light. She searched the files and found an access code to the police documents. "Light, why do have this one your computer?" she continued her search and found many criminals who killed people, even families, who never got any punishment for their heinous crimes.
"Wait, a few years ago there were also several criminals that died of heart attacks caused by Kira. Did Kira used this notebook to kill people. But if Raito had all this data for himself he easily could have punished them. Also, after Raito died there weren't any random heart attacks anymore. So Light was Kira." Sayu thought after her discovery.
"I do get why he did this. He was really into law and stuff and I could see he supported Kira although he tried to hide it from father. But he couldn't have killed father! There must be something in the rules that proves he didn't killed father." Sayu thought and scanned the rules in the notebook and found that a notebook can be passed over.
Over the following days Sayu continued judging criminals that were really wrong in her view, she was doing this at home, outside when she went to the toilet so Hayate wouldn't noticed anything and even during class.
5 days had passed after Sayu wrote the first name in the Death Note. Since writing that first name, every day for 5 days, Sayu headed home immediately after school.
"Hey Sayu, how was school today?" Sochiko asked.
"Long and exhausting."
"Have you heard about the criminals that have died recently, looks like there's another Kira."
"Yeah, I noticed. I hope someone is going to try putting an end to this. That they happen to be criminals doesn't mean they deserve to die. But I'm going upstairs to study." Sayu said and rushed up to her bedroom.
"It is true what I said and it's something I wholeheartedly agree with, but they shouldn't allow those criminals walk around on the world like that, it's just wrong. They could easily kill someone during their time here on Earth so it is better for them to die." She thought.
"Enjoying yourself?" a large figure that was standing in Sayu's room said.
"Aaahh!" Sayu screamed as she saw the thing standing in her room. It wore a brown coat, a red bandana, blue pants with a belt and a sleeve tucked into it, two brown boots and a very large scythe.
"Why are you so surprised to see me? I'm Ryuzaki the Death God who droped that notebook. The way you were acting right now, it's pretty obvious that you know it isn't just any old notebook, right?"
Sayu looked at the Shinigami and calmed down. She held her breath for a moment when hearing her mother yell worriedly from the bottom of the stairs.
"What is it honey?" Sochiko asked her daughter.
"Nothing, just fell from my chair." Sayu responded and turned back to Ryuzaki. "So you're a Death God, a Shinigami. So you were the one I was waiting for. I should have known this is a notebook from the underworld or in other words the Shinigami Realm. This is a book of doom."
"You remind me of someone little lady. You're so strong and I feel you have a sense for justice."
"But what are you going to do now? You have found me, so must I give it back or must I come with you or…"
"No, that is nonsense. Once the Death Note has landed on the human world it will be property of the human who writes the first name down." Ryuzaki explained.
"So that means it belongs to me know, right? No consequences attached to it?"
"That's right and if you get bored of it you can pass it to someone else, and I will erase your memory. However when you die I will write your name in my Death Note. But when I do that you aren't going to heaven nor hell." Ryuzaki said and grinned.
"If that is what it takes I will have to accept that." Sayu said and decided to go to bed, while Ryuzaki sat on the end of the bed watching her.
In another house somewhere in Tokyo.
"Kira! He's back? I must find him." a woman said who was sitting on her bed checking the news on her laptop, that showed several murderers who had been dying of heart attacks.
"I'm going to search for you, you're my hero. Remember!"
Meanwhile in a giant building in Tokyo, owned by a famous detective.
"Hmmm, Kira. Seems you're back. But first let see what kind of Kira you are." A boy said who was sitting on the ground, squatting, watching the screens that showed the news reports.
Cliffhanger! I love to make cliffhangers, makes you want to read the next chapter even more. Well I will try to upload my next chapter soon, but I'm going on holiday next week (only for one week though) but I will try my best.
