Chapter One
Memories
EPOV
As I walked around my new University, I wondered how I was to be treated. Most of my life, I was either alone, taken advantage of, or made fun of. Sadly, this school would be the same. As I scanned the area, something I did out of Paranoia, I saw a first year girl with a Panda hat on, and I wanted to cry.
Panda…
Before I could stop them, flashbacks flew through my mind, killing my soul little by little as the pain got worse.
A little fairy-like girl was sitting alone under a tall tree weeping.
"What did I do wrong? Why does everyone hate me?" she cried, sobbing. Suddenly, a little boy that looked like a panda heard her, and crawled over to her. Sitting down next to her, he poked her arm with a stick.
"What is the matter with Farey-san? Why is she crying?" She looked up, surprised. She saw his eyes widen, and waited scornfully for him to make fun of her eyes.
When he did nothing, she scowled.
"Well, aren't you gonna make fun of my eyes, boy?" she spat, tears still falling from her face. The boy was shocked, she could tell. Suddenly, his demeanor changed. He seemed angry, and hurt.
"Why would I make fun of your eyes? They're really pretty!" he exclaimed. The little girl flushed. No one had ever told her that her eyes were nice-looking.
Without thinking, she hugged the little boy, snuggling her head into his chest. The boy stiffened and flushed. He gingerly wrapped his arms around the girl.
"Thank you," she whispers.
With that flashbacks, came numerous others, and in my painful memories, I ran into someone. I flew back, and I immediately snapped out of it, just in time to do a hand stand to protect my head from crashing on the floor.
I was blushing twenty shades of red when I apologized.
"G-gomen nasai! I was not watching where I was walking!" I rushed out. I looked at the person I had walked in to.
He was tall, broad shouldered, and next to him, stood Ryuk. I gasped, gawking at him.
"Ryuk-Chan…?" I whispered. He stopped talking to the boy and stared at me. The boy followed his gaze. I looked at him, speechless.
"How do you have Ryuk's Death Note?" I asked him. His eyes widened, and he walked up to me.
"How can you see Ryuk?" he hissed. I tilted my head to the side. I turned to Ryuk.
"Raven, why are you even here?" I asked is a hiss. He smirked; at least, I think he did. He could've also grimaced.
"I was bored," he replied. I shook my head. "So, because you were bored, you dropped it again, and gave it to a CHILD this time. Very nice. And, have you SEEN his aura? I mean, why him?" I made it look like I was talking to the boy in front of me.
Suddenly, the bell rang, and I sighed.
"I will find you later, Ryuk. Bye, Light-san! See you later!" I called out. As I ran to my next class, I shivered. I had seen yet another person's death date.
