Chapter 2:

Raito's P.O.V

5 days earlier:

After Hikari left I pulled out a black notebook out of my bag. On the cover it said "Death Note". I sat down and started to read the rules.

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in mind while writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the persons name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified the person will simply die of a heart attack.

After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

This must have been some intricate prank or something. People can't simply die by writing down their names.

End Flash Back.

Another day of boring school has passed. Me and Hikari walked to our room like any other day. I knew what she was going to do by now. She was going to go on a walk as always.

"Raito I'm leaving on a walk now."

I can't figure out why she tells me this every time, but I should be glad for her walks. If not I might not have been able to accomplish so much.

I watched her leave out the door. After leaving I made sure to lock the door once I knew she was down the stairs. I walked calmly to my desk and opened the draw and took out a black note book with the words "Death Note" written on it. I knew I had around two hours till Hikari got back till we left for cram school.

"heh, you seem to like it."

"Ahhhhhh."

"You seem surprised to see me? I'm Ryuk the shinigami who dropped that note book. The way you were acting just now I can tell you know it's not just any old notebook…right? Well let's just say I'm not taking it back, but once it's your time. I'm going to write your name in my notebook." He explained.

I heard my sister coming up the stairs. I turned to look at the shinigami. What was I going to do?

"Hurry up and hide or something my sisters coming." I quickly put the death note back into my drawer.

"Why should I? No one but you can hear or see me, unless of course they touch the death note."

Ryuk cackled and jumped to the ceiling as I unlocked the door and pretended to be studying.

Hikari walked in a moment later.

"You should be getting ready we have cram school soon."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." I looked to where Ryuk was. He seemed to be intently staring at my sister.

"This is your sister? Not hard on the eyes. I might know a shinigami who would be interested in her."

"Shut up." I mumbled. I couldn't believe he would say such a thing. Stupid shinigami.

"Raito are we going or what?" she huffed.

We walked down the street and I couldn't help but to remember the first time I used the death note. It happened exactly on a day like this.

Flash Back 5 days earlier:

I stared at the death note on my desk. What could be the harm in trying it once? I turned on the TV and they had a news announcement of some guy who killed and wounded some people. His name was Kurou Otoharada. They proceeded to put a picture of him across the screen. I then wrote his name in the death note. After waiting forty seconds I knew nothing was happening. Then people stared to exit the building, they pronounced Kurou dead. I couldn't believe it had I killed someone?

Hikari then walked in to the room.

"Raito, we need to leave for cram school."

"Ye….ah."I stuttered.

"Are you okay?"

"Just fine let's go."

We walked to cram school as we do any other day. I saw some boys bulling another when we got there. Should I kill them? No, I shouldn't kill people close to me. Then a piece of chalk hit me in the head.

"Raito Yagami pay attention Mr. Number one scores." yelled the teacher.

I heard a short laugh to my left and knew it was Hikari. Normally she was the one who spaces out not me.

After cram school we stopped at a store to look at some books. Out the window some thugs were attacking a young woman.

"My name is Takuo Shibumaru."

I once again to out the death note discreetly so Hikari wouldn't be alarmed. I then wrote down Shibumaru's name and traffic accident next to it. Then the forty second wait came.

I saw the woman run and cross the street. Just a Shibumaru proceed to go after her he was hit by a truck. This was it my proof that the death note was really real and worked. I put it away as me and Hikari left the store. I felt sick and she was soon to notice.

"Are you okay, Raito?"

"Yeah, just fine." How would she know? She didn't just kill two people. Then I thought this world is a rotten mess. With this notebook I can change the world.

We got home and changed into our pajamas to get ready for bed. We no longer cared if one another were in the same room. What's the point we've been doing it for so long. I then lay under my covers. Do I have the guts though, to use the death note?

At school the next day I knew it had to be me. No one else would have the guts. With this notebook I was going to change the world.

End Flash Back.

End Chapter 2

Ritsuka: Well pleasure to see you again. Sorry if this chapter was a bit confusing. The first chapter happened. After this one did kinda. As you can see there were flashbacks. Sorry it was so boring and in Raito's point of view a lot. I promise L will be in shortly just not yet. I want to at least get to the Lind L. Taylor incident before I start to bring him in. Yes Ryuk was perverted but I don't care.

Light: What do you mean my point of view is boring? I'm god.

Hikari: You're just a stupid idiot is all you are.

Light: What!? (They start to fight.)

Ryuk: Hey Raito, shift your leg a bit higher.

Raito: What are you…? (Sees leg will lift up Hikari's skirt higher) What the hell, shut up you.

Ryuk: Aw no fair.

Hikari: Who are you talking to?

Raito: No one.

Ritsuka: Well I'll see you all next time in Chapter 3.
