The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

"Yo, Ryuk." Calmly said Kyodu Shingano, his deep voice filling the room.
"What?" answered Ryuk in almost a snapping attitude. The Shinigami was currently indulging himself in his favorite thing in the human world, apples.
"I want to do the eye deal." Said Kyodu quietly. He had yet to look up from his desk where a black notebook sat with names lined up and down the pages.
Ryuk's already wide eyes opened wider, it was the first time in a while since someone actually said they WANTED the eye deal, even with the cost "Uh really?" He asked with surprise full in his voice.
The eye deal was basically a deal between a Shinigami and a human who owned the death note where the Shinigami would give them their eyes, but for half of their life. Not many humans agreed to this deal because of fear of dying earlier than they were supposed to. Not even the former owner of the Death Note, Light Yagami, took this eye deal.
"Yes. In order to keep the world clean I am going to have to make the eye deal regardless of the consequence. I want to become the Savior of the world, like Light, so I want to make this world clean and safe for the innocent. And I can't do that unless I have the eyes."
Kyodu motioned to Ryuk to look at the television screen on his desk in front of him. Ryuk got up from the bed and flew towards Kyodu, who was on the other side of the room at his giant brown desk.
Ryuk was still confused; the television wasn't showing anything important, same thing as usual; death, death, and more death. Which Ryuk had no problem with, "What is it? What do you want me to see?"
Suddenly, the television broadcasted news about Nate River, the man who brought down Kira. A man started reading about how Near, his more commonly known name, was found dead by members of the Task Force. From the looks of it, Near had committed suicide by overdose. The time of death was November 11, 2018, the same date as his predecessor L. Near's age was 23 and he was the successor to L's name. The news of his death shocked Japan. They did not expect the death of the man who killed Kira.
When Ryuk saw this, he started laughing wildly. He did not expect this to be broadcasted on television so quickly. In fact, Ryuk thought that Near was going to be the one to catch Kyodu. Ryuk was impressed with Kyodu's actions, which were much different from Light's. Light would've just had Near die of a heart attack, not from suicide. Anybody with a brain could've thought that he could've gone mad after seeing who Kira was. The task force could've thought the same after all.
Kyodu's lips curved into a smile, his blue hair was resting over his forehead almost covering his eyebrows, "Do you see this Ryuk?"
Ryuk stared at him while grinning. "Yes. It seems like you killed off the man who helped kill Light. Congratulations. You want a lollipop or somethin'?"
Kyodu shot a glance at Ryuk, and then looked away. "That's not the point I'm trying to prove." Kyodu turned off the television and turned to his incredibly tall skinny friend, "The police are going to be investigating why Near, the worlds new L, committed suicide. They'll be horrified; they'll be incredibly scared out of their damn minds. The public will suspect that Near was merely going crazy from finding out who Kira actually was. But the task force will know better, they'll start wondering about the Death Note. This is actually perfect if you think about it, because there is nothing in this world that could connect them to me. They have absolutely no way to find me as well."
Kyodu lived in a mansion with seven other families living in it. He didn't own the house, but the owner was incredibly nice and allowed them all to live there for free. His wife had them all served breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they had 18 maids who were paid largely to do whatever the families wanted.
Kyodu lived by himself. He was orphaned after his mother and father were killed in a car accident. They had driven off a cliff the day that Light Yagami was killed, which in fact was ironic. He had one brother but no one knows what happened to him, he was almost 27 and he disappeared after he turned 22.
A knock hits the door frame, "Come in." replies Kyodu loudly. A maid walks into the room, and she was the maid that was assigned to do whatever Kyodu wanted, and her name is Kiyomi Rishikayu.
Kiyomi has dark blue hair and she looks almost like the famous Kiyomi Takada. She's a tall girl for her gender, and she's skinnier than chubby, but bigger than skinny. She has long dark brown hair that she almost always keeps in a ponytail, which was required of her by her job. Even with the ponytail her hair almost goes halfway down her shoulder blades. Kiyomi has worked in the mansion since she was 11, (she's 17 now). She works there part time, and goes to the same college as Kyodu. Kiyomi is like a sister to Kyodu and they get along very well, in fact, Kiyomi is the only other person who knows that Kyodu has a Death Note. Kiyomi is the daughter of a woman that Light saved in his first days with the Death Note. She believes in what Kyodu is doing, and from time to time helps Kyodu in his choices. She also knows what Ryuk likes, so she always brings apples to his room.
"Hey Kyodu. Hi Ryuk." Kiyomi's high toned voice called.
Kiyomi threw an apple at Ryuk who quickly grabbed it and ate it in one bite.
"Do any writing today Kyodu?" She asked as she went to sit on the bed with Ryuk. The king bed was made, and was covered in dark brown blankets.
Kyodu looked at Kiyomi with a smile. "Of course. Did you see the news?"
A smile spreads across her lips, "So now the police will be looking for you, 'Kira.'" Kiyomi dragged on with Kira's name, in a joking matter.
Kyodu nodded softly, "Yes. I'm ready for them try and find me."
She laughed, "Silly, you know that they can't do that unless they have someone like L or Near. By the way, I need another sheet of the Death Note. I used all of my space up."
Kyodu handed her a piece of paper from the Death Note. "This is true. I have a plan for both of us; we are going to write down names all over the world so that they will never tell where we are. They will never find the true whereabouts of us, the new Kira. The Saviors of this world!"
Ryuk laughed his raspy breathy laugh, 'Things are ging to get very interesting around here.'
Kyodu looked at Ryuk. "That reminds me, I'm still waiting for you to do the eye deal with me."
Kiyomi's eyes shifted from Ryuk to Kyodu with anger, "What do you mean? You cannot do that deal Kyodu. Your life will be shortened!"
Kyodu laughed "It's all worth it, in order for this world to be cleansed of all evil there needs to be sacrifices. Besides, I'm not planning on dying young anytime soon. I won't allow anything to harm me until this world knows that evil will never prevail."
Kiyomi stayed silent, staring at Kyodu with sullen eyes, "Fine. You can do the eye deal." She forced a smile, still not completely fine with this.
Ryuk looked at Kyodu. "So….you ready for this, kiddo?"
Kyodu grinned, "Of course I am. I've never been more ready in my life."
Ryuk smirked, "Just remember, it's just like putting on contacts, it doesn't hurt one bit."
Ryuk placed a finger on Kyodu's forehead, and Kyodu's eyes shifted from light brown to blood red.

*The next day May 5*
Kyodu was writing down names in his Death Note, he didn't have a reason to leave his room regardless of the hustle and bustle outside of it. It was a busy day for the rest of the house; it was the owner's birthday. His name is Suijetentai Kikomi. Everyone calls him Sui for short. He was turning 47 this year and his wife, Gengatsu Kikomi, wanted to make this year special. It was exactly 31 years ago that they met each other, and this would be their twenty-year anniversary. Kiyomi was busy all day so she couldn't write down anything on her Death Note page. She also couldn't see Kyodu the whole day, but she did manage to slip some apples to Ryuk.
"Hmmmm. I don't know if I should kill this man." Kyodu was thinking aloud.
Ryuk looked angry, "What do you mean you don't know? Just kill him off."
Kyodu glared at him. "This man is in Japan, they'll automatically know that I'm in Japan, and if that happens I'll suffer the same fate as Light. Because Light was being cocky, he was found easily. I won't be so easily found."
There were three knocks on the door.
Ryuk was happy, his long spidery fingers touched each other as he put them together. "It's Kiyomi. Maybe she brought me some apples."
Kyodu was putting away the Death Note. He had hid it very skillfully for inside his desk. was pullout keyboard; he created a second drawer underneath it that opens vertically. The only way to open it is to use a pen cap and use it to unlock the lock.
Ryuk looked back at Kyodu confused. "What's wrong? Why are you hiding the Death Note? It's just Kiyomi."
Kyodu shook his head, "No, if it was Kiyomi she would have knocked 4 times. That knock was 3."
Ryuk was surprised. "Really? I haven't noticed." He turned back to the door, "Then who is that."
'We're about to find out, Ryuk.' Kyodu crossed his legs and yelled, "Come in."
Gengatsu walked in with a smile on her face. She was a short plump woman, with her dark brown hair in a bun.
Kyodu smiled, "Hello Lady Gengatsu"
Gengatsu smiled and laughed, "Oh Kyodu you're so polite. Nevertheless, please, just call me Gengatsu. We're all family here."
Her voice was full and deep, as if she had food in her mouth. She was easy to understand though.
Kyodu smiled again, "Oh of course La- oh I'm sorry, Gengatsu."
Gengatsu laughed again, "It's okay you'll become use to it, anyway we're having a party downstairs in the foyer, and I do insist that you show up. There's going to be a lot of food."
Kyodu was surprised, she's never insisted he came to dinner. She usually just forced him to go, "Oh of course Gengatsu. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Gengatsu smiled very innocent like, "Good, I'll see you later."
She walked out of the room and went back downstairs. Kyodu walked to his door and closed it.
Kyodu "It's a good thing everyone knocks in the house; otherwise I'd be in trouble."
Rules of the Death NoteIf the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
Ryuk was standing at the door waiting for Kiyomi, he was really wanting some apples right about now.
There were then three knocks on the door, and a very quick fourth knock.
Kyodu smiled, "(Finally, what's been taking her so long to get here. But what if it's not her.)"
Kyodu didn't bother to bring the entire notebook back out, instead he tore a page out. Just in case.
Kyodu "Come in."
A different maid walked in, this one was a blonde woman who looked to be almost 16.
Ryuk was angry, "What the?! Where's Kiyomi?"
The maid smiled softly, "Hello, Kyodu. Kiyomi should be in here soon. I just came to get your laundry."
She was a happy maid; Ryuk was still staring at the door. The maid was gathering up all of Kyodu's laundry which was laid out in a corner next to his bed.
The maid smiled as she picked up the few amounts of clothes, "You sure don't wear a lot of clothing."
Kyodu smiled, "Well it is summer break. I have nothing to do but to stay home and get on the computer. I jog every now and then in the mornings, but that's about it."
The maid was surprised, "So that's you going outside in the morning. Gengatsu has always wondered who it was, it was quite the mystery."
The maid then took what little clothing he had and left out the room without another word. Kyodu could hear the girl say hello to Kiyomi, who walked in and closed the door.
Kiyomi bowed, "Sorry I'm late Kyodu, Gengatsu had me walk her dog, Runner for her. He's a real feisty fella."
Kyodu smiled and rolled his eyes, it's not like he didn't know who Runner was, "Kiyomi what did I tell you about bowing to me. I'm not royalty; I'm just a regular boy.
Kiyomi winked while her face sported a large smile, "Of course you're royalty, Lord Kira.
Kyodu's smile lingered on, he knew that Kiyomi was joking around with him like she usually does.
Ryuk was happier than usual, although it was hard to tell since his face was permanently pulled into a smile, "So Kiyomi did you bring me some apples today."
Kiyomi laughed, "Of course Ryuk, I could never forget you." She pulled out a bag of apples. "You should probably leave the cores, Gengatsu is wondering what's happening to the cores of the apples. The only excuse I could come up with is that you're throwing in your trash can. However, I don't think she is going to buy that if your trashcan is empty. So that's why I went in the trash can outside and brought some apple cores from there."
She pulled out a bag full of apple cores, walked over to Kyodu's desk, and poured the apple cores into the wastebasket that was right next to Kyodu's desk.
Kyodu smiled, "That should take care of any suspicion about the disappearance of the apple cores, and I think it would be weird if I was eating the cores."
A giggle sounds from Kiyomi's lips, "Yeah, the mystery of the century!"
Kyodu then pulled out the Death Note from his desk and turned back towards Kiyomi.
"We need a new knock. It seems like every maid does the 4 knock thing, so why don't you knock 5 times from now on."
Kiyomi nodded, "Alright, that's fine with me. I'll be creative with it"
Ryuk was staring at them, as they were writing names in the Death Note almost 5 minutes after they decided on a knock.
Ryuk smiled, "(As I said, humans are so interesting.)"
