Nato's note: ^U^ In Japanese, the way guys and girls, children and adult talk are different, also there are different language for different level of politeness. In the case below the first voice is talking in a girly and childish way, in a very informal tone. The second voice is talking in a more polite form. The translation in bracket is the literal meaning.
ねえ、知てる ?
Do you know?
私は神や幽霊 を信じてないわ
I don't believe in god or the supernatural (ghost)
だって、私は彼らに触れることができないだもん
because I can't touch them
キラとエル、どちが正義だと?
You ask, Kira and L, which is justice?
私はキラの方が正義思う
I'm in Kira's favor (I think Kira is justice)
フン?お前はエルの方か？
Hmm? You are on L's side?
それは重要じゃないよ
That's not important

"Yukari! Yukari!YUKARI!!!" my helpless scream echoed down the empty hallway, her last strand of light caramel hair disappeared behind the operation room. The blood red "In operation" sign lit up. I sinked my hands into my hair pulling them to their ends, how could they, how could they , HOW COULD THEY... She had done nothing wrong, they had been drinking, they had surely been drinking. I had seen the look on their faces, the driver was not even looking forward, he drove right through even when the green man was shining.
The annoying ticking sound of the clock filled up for the silence of the emergency operation waiting room. There was no use in waiting here, I have to help her, I have got to help her. Yet, what could I do? I'm just a amateur medical student, I knew it was better to leave her in the hands of a full fledged surgeon, on the double he was also her dad. I have to clear my head now, I will have to think of something to say when she wakes up, I need to buy a present for her birthday next week. Walking aimlessly, subconsciously I ended up at a park where we usually hang out at.
Tears began flowing out at their own uncontrollable pace. I cupped my face in my hands, collecting all the tiny droplets. Woosh...Pon... I swore I just heard something, yet there was no wind... I swept away the salty water from my face, and cast my gaze over to the origin of the bazaar noise. Something black caught my eye, without any former notice, my body started moving forward to pick the object up from its resting places in the lush green grasses.
"Death...Note..." I murmured into the still air, the sliver letters carved onto its cover. I felt a glaze on me, something felt with murderous intentions like I have never felt before. Turning around, I could see my reflections in its red orbs. I couldn't scream, I couldn't run, body was paralyzed in a way I couldn't even move. It was like nothing I have seen before. Its body was of skeletal figure, decorating it was a red tie used as a bandanna and a pair of goggles that reflected the fear in my eyes.
"I have been waiting." It breath into my ears.
"...Waiting?" I tried to clear my head. Somehow, I knew there was more than what meets the eye. As if in epilepsy, my hands were shaking uncontrollably as I handed the black notebook to the dark figure.
"It's yours." It pushed the notebook back to me. "I'm only here to watch you, I have no other intentions."
I nodded and fumble through the book with shaky fingers, there were rules written in scurvy letters on the back of the cover page in a dirty white.
The human whose name is written in this note shall die. "Ha...ha...ha" I couldn't be sure if the laughter had came from myself.
The person in possession of the Death Note is possessed by a god of death, its original owner, until they die. "Ha...ha...haa...HAHAHA" I can also feel the insanity creeping up to me...is this for real?
Considering that giant skeleton of a shinigami standing in the middle of the park, there should be nothing impossible now. I could feel the sudden a blood lust growing in me, it was calling to me as thoughts of Yukari once again took over my mind. There is no harm in trying, I took out a pen from my back pocket, what was their names... I shut my eyes closed, my photographic memory is only useful at times like these, the memories replayed like a movie. She was walking mindlessly trusting the little green man, I tried to call to her, the next moment her thin body was flung meters away. The policeman on duty flagged down the car, and requested for their names. Two names flooded into my mind, Hirota Kaito and Arata Shyou... their faces were embed into my mind clear as undisturbed waters.
I clenched on my pen, and wrote down all the possible kanji combination for them both. A wave of relive flushed over me. This is the sweet taste of revenge. Suddenly a thought cross my mind. "Kira..." I whispered to myself. "This was how Kira killed..."
"Looks like you realized." The shinigami remarked in a monotonous voice.
I smirked, running a hand through my dark brown hair, "Then, I'm Kurenai Hijiri... the new Kira."
"Shinigami Light." the shinigami introduced, his skeletal facial features were pulled into a distorted smile.
Fuun~ Fuun~ First chapter Kanryo^^~ Sorry for the random Japanese here and there, because somehow when I'm writing for anime/manga, all the words come to me in Japanese btw the kanji for Hijiri's name is 紅 聖, which literally means red and holy. It's a long name to pronounce, considering there is only two characters~ I had fun writing this chapter ^^ but I haven't study for my exams at all Reviews are always welcomed~ ^u^
