You know, if somebody told me that I was going to kill people in the future then I would have spat in their faces, been outraged and believed not a word. I would claim no, I am the son of a Police Officer and I am a genius; murder is wrong and I know it to be so and I would never do such a thing to any living thing.

…but now…?

"Heh heh, 63 they sure did go overboard. I've found all the cameras Light! Now can I get some apples?"

I'm pretty sure that if I knew how to kill a Shinigami then I would gladly massacre this one in the most brutal way physically possible. Doesn't he understand, he must be so thick – headed! Does he not remember me telling him that that there could be liste-

"Oh yeah, there could be listening devices. So you can't speak to me, right? Well you can still hear me so let's go outside and find some apples! Light. Light! …Light?"

God dammit shinigami just shut up! Calm, Light. Calm down just, go outside and get him some apples before you rip his head off. Breathe. One… Two…

"Liiiiight? Come on I'm dying here I NEED apples you know that, let's go!"

I sighed to mask my anger and grabbed my jacket off of my chair and pulled it on. It fitted comfortably. It was relaxing. It helped me keep calm. Keep in contro-

"Hey Light how long do you think it will be till we can buy apples?"

"I DON'T KNOW NOW SHUT UP!" I yelled. I brought my hand to my fore head, rubbing it in frustration.

A lone dog in the park tilted its head at me like I was crazy. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. How could one shinigami make me so angry?

"Sheesh, you sure do get grouchy."

I took the apple out of my pocket and threw it at his face. It of course, went straight through him. He munched on it. The dog watched in shock for a little while before running away in terror.

"So Light, what are you going to do now?" Ryuk questioned.

I swear that I'm going to kill him one day, the second I figure out how.

*JANUARY 17TH – THE BATTLE BEGINS*

"Hey, sit normally in your seat candidate 162!"

I turned around to sneak a glance behind me and found a strange man sitting awkwardly like a frog in his chair. He made eye contact with me and I could immediately sense the intelligence coming off of him. Hmm. Interesting. But also dangerous, I was Kira I couldn't just go around making friends with anybody and he seemed unusually… smart. I had to be careful around candidate number 162. But 162's hair looked so soft that I had a strange desire to run my fingers through it; it looked so silky that I didn't understand how it naturally stayed in that shape and still appeared so untouched. His eyes were dark but not hollow, incredibly unique and somehow… beautiful.

He was beautiful.

I shook my head and completed the test.

"Hyuk Hyuk, hey Light; when do you think you can get me some more apples huh?"

I sighed.

It was going to be a long, long reign for Kira; long and incredibly annoying.
