Birth of Shi
This chapter is short and less intresting. I just started college and have a ton of work but I promise to make up for it in the next chapter.
When Jake woke up the next day he wore blue jeans and a black shirt with the picture of a gundam from Gundam Wing on the front. He decided to take a walk and see what Tokyo had to offer. He was confident the death note would be safe in his room, he found the secret compartment to the drawer of his desk and it wasn't hard to figure out what it was for. While he traveled the town he passed by Sakura TV, which was the TV station Kira used mostly because of it's gullible and spineless staff to spread his messages to the world. While watching the news on the big TV screen that was sitting outside the news station, Jake noticed a story that caught his eye.
News Lady: 14 year old Paul Wong from Hong Kong China was found in an alleyway late last shot five times in the chest do to a drug deal gone bad, the shooter is still at large and we will keep you updated on this situation as it unfolds.
Jake couldn't believe the words that were entering his ears, was Paul Wong really dead? Naturally Jake was happy that that scumbag was dead, but what was pondering Jake's mind was, was it merely a mere coincidence that Paul Wong died right after Jake left China? Jake didn't write his name in the death note, all Jake knew was this death wasn't natural. Jake was so caught up in his own thoughts that he was completely unaware of the person standing right beside him!
"It's a beauty to technology isn't it?"
"What?" Jake said jerking his head to the right shocked that someone was beside him without him knowing. A white boy, about around the age of 16 was staring at the big screen TV. He had curly blond hair and a thin beard and mustache which he clearly dyed blond. The kid was taller than Jake, but not intimidating.
"I guess so, it does have the best HD screen in Japan and the sound system uses up about of a third of the buildings energy alone. Or so I heard."
"So you know your stuff." Said the boy looking down at Jake smiling. "My name is Christopher Walkens."
"I'm Jake Fallaway." I don't really know that much, just a little bit. "How do you know so much?"
"I was a hacker back in America until I got busted. My mom sent me here to live with my dad whose in the navy to avoid jail, so I guess you could say I'm an army brat."
"Dad is really freakin bugging me, real strict on rules and everything you know what I mean?"
Jake had a flash back to his so called dad kicking him down the stairs because Jake forgot to wash his clothes!
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
Jake and Christopher walked around for the rest of the day. Christopher agreed to show Jake around Tokyo. Jake was surprised to see how cool Tokyo was, there was vending machines that actually you a meal instead of a candy bar or a soda like a vending machine in America! When Jake returned home it was a little late.
"Sorry I'm home late grandma" Jake said as he entered the house closing the door behind him.
Jake was going to make his way upstairs when he saw his grandmother sitting on the couch holding herself in her arms with a sad expression on her face. Jake paused for a moment and stared at her, after a moment or two he decided to go sit down beside her. Jake sat on Sachiko's left putting his right arm around her.
"What's wrong grandma?" Jake asked in the sincerest voice he could possibly make.
Sachiko sniffled and sat up straight, she mumbled for a while trying to get the words out. The police called today, your dad was murdered in prison.
"I'm so sorry Jake, I know you loved your father." She said holding him close to her.
"You have no idea" Jake thought so himself as he rested in his grandma's arms. The only thing he loved about his sorry excuse for a man and a father was that he was dead. Jake made his appearance look sad on the outside, but on the inside he was smiling with the information his mother had just given him he could move forward with his plans to a brighter future where crime is something you read about in the history books.
When Jake was finished pretending to grieve with his grandmother he went upstairs to his room, closed the door behind him and locked it. Just in time to he couldn't hold it in any longer he instantly broke out in laughter, he laughed so hard that tears started to pour from his eyes. Jake was glad the walls in the house were thick solid and that she couldn't hear him or he would have to explain why he was laughing at a time like this.
Jake got the death note out from it's secret hiding spot in the drawer of his desk and held it up in the air smiling at the power he was wielding in his hands.
"I can't believe it, after all these years it still works!" Jake said sounding like a child in a candy store.
"Of course it still works!"came an eerie voice from behind him. Jake, stunned by the voice, slowly turned around to see an hellish ugly creature from another world. The site of such a monster cause him to fall to the ground screaming in panic.
"Who….the hell…are you?" Jake said stumbling over his words in fear.
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out by now, I am the Shimigami known as Ryuk. I use to follow your mother and father around before your father died, but now that you have the death note I can't wait to see what kind of fun you'll cook up!"
The eerie figure just stood there starting at Jake with his big eyes and the big grin on his face. Jake got up feeling less threatened by Ryuk and more confused by what he was saying.
"What are you talking about?"
"In exchange for letting your father use my notebook he promised to keep me entertained."
"Entertained?"
"You see there are two worlds. Your world and the Shimigami World. In the Shimigami World there isn't anything to do, our world is desert everywhere you go, and the only thing to do is gamble with other shimigami."
"Ah, so I get it. My dad ridding the world of evil by killing criminals with this notebook was entertainment for you?"
"Exactly."
"Well Ryuk, I promise to uphold those same obligations as my father did!"
"You will?" Ryuk asked with a stunned face.
"Yes, I will kill criminals all across the world and stop evil in it's tracks. Sure Near and many others will soon find out that another person is carrying out acts of Kira, but they will never suspect that it's a thirteen year old boy from the same house that the Kira incident took place. I plan to send a message that this time, failure is not an option!
"And how do you plan to send this message new Kira?" asked Ryuk cocking his head to the side in wonder.
"First of all" said Jake who now sat down at his desk turning on the computer. "Don't call me Kira, that was my father's name and it shall remain that way to honor him. Besides there are other death note users who go by Kira1 and Kira2. I will go by my own unique name...Shi! Second of all I am glad you asked how I will go about sending this message please observe."
Jake surfed the web for about 20 minutes before stretching out in his chair, letting out a big yawn, and announcing he was done. He then placed the death note in front of him, got a pen and started to write!
(Simon Boswell dies in a car wreck during police chase.)
(Kenji Motomoto, can no longer handle the pressure of being on the run from the cops 24/7 and shoots himself in the head.)
(Sakura Kimmo cokes to death eating ramen.)
(Benjamin Stokes dies of a cocaine overdose.)
(Ichigo Kumasa dies of a heart attack.)
(Tom Murry is caputured by rival gang members and tortured to death.)
(Kaito Souta's private jet crashes in the California mountains.)
(Ami Mizuki's yaht sinks off the coast of Japan and she drowns.)
(Kazuki Takishiro, after finding out he is 40 million dollars in debt decides to end his life by jumping off the roof of the New York convention center.)
(Danny Oakland dies in a house fire.)
"What's so special about these criminals?" Ryuk asked looking at the names Jake wrote down.
"These criminals are the top ten criminals in the world!...My pieces in this game are set, now Near it's time for you to make your move!"
Near set up the DTF (Death Note Task Force) in downtown Japan disguised as a coporate building after multiple death notes started popping up all over the world.
Derrick Hamiltion, a white middle age man with good looking hair and wearing an all black suit sat at a desk typing on his computer. His fax machine beside his computer showed he was receiving a fax. The paper slowly printed out, but when it was done his eyes grew wide with shock. He jumped out of his chair and made his way to the middle of the room where a now 19 year old Near sat now addicted to sweets watching multiple screens. Near was now as tall as Light was when he died, he has a thin mustache and allowed his hair to grow long.
"Near, Near," called Hamilton waving the paper around in the air like an idiot.
"What is it" asked Near not even turning around to look at him as he ate a chocolate bar, the ones Mello use to eat!
"It has been confirmed, the top ten worst criminals in the world all died with in the same hour of each other! We can only assume it was a death note user, but so far none of the death note users we know about have claimed responsibility."
"Fine then" said Near, "Just keep tabs on the situation and inform me if anything changes."
"Right" said Hamilton, saluting Near before walking away.
10 Days Later
It was a bright and beautiful Saturday morning and even though most kids would be at the mall or outside hanging with there friends Jake spent most of his time in the house looking up criminals and writing there names in the death note. The only time he left the house was to go to the corner store to get a soda and some apples for Ryuk.
"Ah, Jake, you don't know how good it is to eat an apple again after thirteen long years!" said Ryuk in Jake's room as he munched down on one of the juicy red apples.
"When I finally rule this world as the new god, trust me Ryuk there will be more apples, truck loads."
"Jake, how are you going to rule the world as a god if people don't know who you are?"
"Don't worry my friend, that part has already been taken care of!"
For the rest of the day all Jake did was write names in the death note and looking at his watch. He was waiting for a specific time for something, but Ryuk didn't know what for. He decided instead of asking he would just wait and see, that way it would be more interesting when it happened. When it was 7:00 Jake finally stopped writing names in the death note and turned on the TV. Jake turned the TV to the CNN news and waited for a few minutes with and evil smile on his face.
"Hey Jake, what's going on" asked Ryuk looking puzzled.
Jake only put his index finger to his lips ans whispered shoooooosh, as he watched the TV.
This is Dave Conners with the CNN news. At approximently 3:00PM yesterday, we received a video tape from a death note user calling himself Shi, who claims to be the true successor to Kira! We were told that if we didn't play this tape today at exactly 7:00PM he would start killing staff. Please, we have not seen this tape yet so if you have any children we ask you to remove them from the TV, we will give you a few minutes.
After a few minutes Dave Conners continued.
Here it is, the Shi tape!
I am Shi and the true successor to Kira. After thirteen years in waiting I am finally ready to make my move and release justice onto the world. After the Kira killings it seems people have still not learned and have gone back to there sick and disgusting ways. The police see me as a murderer, but I am really a hero. I kill rapists and murderers so they can't murder or rape anyone else. I prevent further incidents from happening, but the police fail to see that and will more than likely try to pursue me. I discourage any detective or any cop from trying to play hero. If you value your life and your families well being than just stay out of my way. I am the God of this new world and will rain down judgement on criminals who think they can break the law and get away with it. My word is law!
When the tape ended Jake turned off the TV and started clapping his hands in applause.
"If you ask me Ryuk, I say that deserves an academy award. Now that the word is out the real fun begins!
Unknowing to Jake back at the DTF building Near was watching the Shi tape on TV and was actually smiling when it was over.
"Things her are about to get even more intresting" He said as he brought a piece of cake to his mouth and ate it.
