Alright, for those who are reading this. I have an announcement. My updates will have to be every other day. (starting from today) School is being a killer and project due dates are coming in fast. Which is why this update is a few days late. So I'm not sure how much time I'll be able spend to on this. But don't worry I'm definitely still continuing the story. This plot has been haunting my very dreams and will most likely not stop 'til I complete the story! I've also forgotten to mention some things from the original Death Note plot will be change. As the first to third chapter of this story may seem odd. I'm seem working out how to still follow both the manga/anime storyline and my own plot. But I hope it shall be enjoyable non-the-less.

Chapter 2: Valentin Bellamont

As Light makes his way towards the kitchen, a sudden burst of pain slices at his mind.

"Li-chan.. Let's have fun.." Scream. Pain. Laughter. "You look so cute, covered in your own blood."

He winces as his eyes go wide in confusion.

W-what..? What was that..?

Light's mind becomes clouded with fear, his hidden memories begins to resurface as his heart races. He bites on his lower lip, hoping to prevent the harsh pained cry that would of sounded.

W-why is this happening?! What's going on..?!

"Run, Li-chan. Run."

Tears threatened to fall as he rushes back to his room.

Completely unaware of the conversation held within the kitchen. A conversation that if he had entered would change the course of history. His history.

Soichiro Yagami sighed, his fingers rubbed at his temples in frustration and well-hidden anger. It took everything to keep himself from killing the man in front of him.

No.. Not man.. Monster..

His eyes narrow, watching as the stranger grins wickedly.

"Now, Soichiro-kun~ You know why I'm here~"

A growl slips from his lips.

"And you know my answer.. Light is not to go with you, Valentin."

A flash of irritation passes through the said man's sable eyes. His face becomes a mask of playfulness; purring through his voice.

"Aw, why not Soichiro-kun? I think it be a fair trade to give me Li-chan~ After all, it was my sin that made you such a great officer."

Unimaginable fury rose within Soichiro.

"Get out.." he spat, seething as his rage continued to escalate.

"As you wish."

Valentin made a move to leave. A smirk plastered on his face as he turn and exits the Yagami household, leaving an enraged elder Yagami.

Li-chan shall be mine.. Its just only a matter of time. After all, whatever Valentin Bellamont wants. He gets.

Light bursts into his room, tears falling from his eyes as he collapse onto the floor. His body curling up; trembling violently.

Pain..! Pain..!! Why is there so much pain?!

Images of blood and death smothers his mind. A piercing scream is heard. Light can only blankly stare, wondering if the scream came from him or another source..

Ryuk stares thoughtfully at the frighten teen, and did what any shinigami would do in this situation.

He poked him.
