Hey, guys, it's Shade-Oh back with the second chapter of Light: God of Death. In this chapter, you will get to see who picked up the Death Note and see the start of Light's plan unfold. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and as always read and review.
"What are you going to do about it?"
"You know me better than that don't you, Ryuk?" Light drops his Death Note and it falls through the ground.
"Oops, looks like I dropped my Death Note. I better go get it from the human world." Light says sarcastically. Ryuk loses it and begins laughing uncontrollably.
"Are you coming with me then, Ryuk?" Ryuk nods.
"Got nothing better to do." Together they go to the human world to find who picked up Light's Death Note.
Satori Aikawa was sitting in class trying to stay focused but it was hard to do so after all, he was in English class, and didn't care to learn English. He had short, untidy black hair, average height, friendly but not the most focused student. He began to fell asleep until he saw something fall from the sky onto the ground. He looked down and saw what it was. A notebook? He opened the window and pretended he was doing it for fresh air. He purposely knocked his pencil out the window.
"Hey Teach can I go outside and get my pencil? I accidentally knocked it out the window." The teacher sighed and searched his drawers for a pencil or pen. He closed it coming up with nothing. The teacher turned around.
"Make it quick Aikawa, or you'll be in big trouble." Satori got up and ran out the room and went to the yard of the school. Satori picked up the notebook and looked at the front.
"Death Note? Like as in a notebook of death? Why the hell did it fall? Oh, I better grab my pencil before I head back." Satori looked into the Death Note and didn't find anything in it other than note pages and rules. - The human whose name is written in this note shall die.? You can't be serious. This has to be some kind of joke. - This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. Makes sense I guess. - If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. - If 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 must be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Pretty detailed for a joke. Should I test it? No, people will panic and think Kira is back. I remember him from when I was a middle schooler. Wait, is this how he killed? No way, but it could be possible. I could test it but… No! Absolutely not, no matter what. I will not kill anyone. I better get back to class. But why did it fall from the roof? Satori returns to class after putting the notebook in his bag and sits down and goes to work wanting to pass the time to get to this notebook. The teacher gives his class a test and when Satori finishes he begins to read the notebooks other rules. - This note shall become the property of the human world once it touches the ground of the human world. - The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of it's original owner, i.e a god of death.? But gods of death can't exist, can they? - The human who uses this note can neither go to heaven or hell. Does such places even exist? I'm not religious so I don't believe this crap. - You may write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the cause of death. You have about 19 days (according to the human calendar) to fill in a name. - Suicide is a universally valid cause of death as all human are thought to possess the potential to commit suicide. It is, therefore, something that may be reasonably assumed of an individual. - Whether the cause of the individual's death is either suicide or an accident, if it would lead to the death of more than the intended victim, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not impacted. - After an individual's name, time of death, and conditions of death are entered in the notebook, the time and conditions of death may be altered as many times as desired as long as they are changed within six minutes and 40 seconds from the time they are filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies. Light hovered out of sight keeping an eye on Satori, getting angry. Ryuk laughed at him.
"He hasn't used the notebook. Are you that bothered Light?" Light ignored him and watched Satori closely. By that time it was the end of class and Satori was packing up to go home when his friend walks over to him.
"Hey Satori, what you got there? You hate writing so you carrying around a notebook is the last thing I'd expect from you. "
"I found it outside when I went to get my pencil. It's some sort of notebook of death. I don't believe it's real though."
"Wanna hang out after school?" Satori shakes his head.
"I got homework tonight. Didn't get that assignment done for Mr. Yashiro." His friend nodded and walked away. Satori left the school and began to walk home. Should I use it? No, I'd be crazy to use it. A kid bumps into him and gets all angry. Light watches, amused.
"What the hell man?! Watch where the fuck you're going!" Satori looks at the guy. Konami Sugita. He's a bully in our school. I hate him.
"Hey, are you listening to me? I said watch where the fuck you're going!"
"Watch your language, it's not polite to swear like that." The kid pulls out a knife. Light wishes he had his Death Note right now but of course, it was in the hands of Satori.
"Don't tell me what to do!" The kid raises the knife and lunges at Satori. Satori jumps back and whips out the notebook. This is in self-defense. He writes Konami Sugita dies of a car accident in 40 seconds. in the notebook. Light smiles. Satori turns and runs. 35 seconds later he sees a car coming and an oil leak on the road. In slow motion he saw the car slip on the oil and saw the car go right behind him, missing him by an inch. Satori turns and sees Konami covered in blood on the windshield of the car. The person in the car runs out to see who he hit.
"Oh my god! I need to call an ambulance! Kid are you okay?" Satori nodded, keeping the notebook out of sight. The man dials 110 and Satori runs home. He bags his notebook and enters his house. I just killed someone. Someone evil, who deserved it. It was in self-defense. I have to hide the notebook. His mom comes out.
"Welcome home Satori. Did you have a good day at school?" I had a day at least, that's for sure. He nodded.
"I'm going up to my room. I got an assignment to do for Mr. Yashiro." His mom nodded.
"Alright, if you need anything just let me know." He walked up to his room and shut the door. He looked around wondering what he should do about the notebook when Light moved into his view. Satori falls over, startled.
"Who are you? What are you? You sure as hell ain't human." Light smirked.
"I'm the Shinigami Light." Satori stands up.
"Why are you here? Are you here to kill me for killing Sugita? If you are I have to let you know that it was in self-defense." Light gave a chuckle.
"I am not here to kill you. I am here to follow you. It's how the Death Note works. Until you die or revoke ownership of the Death Note I am to follow you around. I'm no guardian angel either. I was hoping you would use the Death Note." Satori looked confused.
"Why would you want me to use the Death Note?" Light gave another chuckle.
"Things have gotten boring in the Shinigami Realm so I dropped my Death Note to see if someone interesting would pick it up and I have to say, you are really interesting."
"How's that?"
"Well, you didn't seem to plan on using the Death Note, but then when YOUR life was threatened you used the Death Note to save your own life."
"First off, you were watching me? Second. are you saying what I did was wrong?" Light chuckled again.
"First yes, I was watching you. It's what I'm supposed to do as I said before. Second, no, I probably would have done the same as you but I wouldn't have made it obvious that you have the notebook. What if someone sees you with a notebook of death, and calls the cops? Especially if they think Kira may return. What will you do?" Satori smiled.
"I'll make a fake notebook, one that looks similar but definitely not the same." Satori gets to work on his notebook.
"What about that assignment?"
"I can worry about the assignment later." When Satori is done he shows his final product to Light. It was a black notebook, damn near equivalent to the Death Note but the rules inside were wrote differently.
"How did you manage to use different handwriting?"
"I wrote with my left hand. I have different handwriting for that hand." Light chuckled. Now I know why Ryuk had so much fun.
"Okay, but where are you going to hide the real notebook?" Satori sat down and thought. He went over to his trash can by his bed and examined it. He went outside and came back in with a small but thick board. Light was extremely interested in what Satori had in mind. He put the notebook at the bottom of the can and put the board right on top. He then took the board out and began to carved out the wood and made a small cubby type thing inside the board and a door to go with it. He painted the board the color of the trash can and sat it back in the can. He made sure the board wouldn't come out. Then he carved part of the bottom so it could hang open if he pulled down on it. He was then done with his product and he put his journal in the wood cubby.
"How exactly does this hiding spot work?" Light was very curious.
"Well, they'll see the bottom of the trash can. But if they really were curious they could look into the wood and find the journal that I write in. As long as I write in the journal normally pretending to hide it, they will think nothing of it. Now the carved out bottom of the can is where I hide the notebook. I'll keep it in there for now. I'll change the hiding place once they search the room if they search my room. It's getting late Light. I'm gonna go to bed." Satori goes to sleep and Light flies outside to speak with Ryuk.
"Excellent. He actually used the notebook. Ryuk, you sure you're gonna stick around and watch? It could get boring once I win." Ryuk chuckles.
"Light, I highly doubt that. Plus I'm gonna bet 20 human apples you will not win." Light laughs.
"20 apples? You must be certain to risk that much."
"Light you lost before, just because you are a Shinigami doesn't mean you'll win this time."
"True, but it also gives me a second chance. Seeing as I don't have the eyes I can't take things in my own hands completely. This human, Satori, will be a great asset to have. What's his last name Ryuk?"
"Aikawa, why?"
"Just in case I need to kill him. Speaking of which I better grab some pages just to be safe." Light flies back in and grabs the notebook. He rips a few pages out at the end of the notebook and tucks them away in his clothes. Ryuk chuckles.
"This'll be fun to watch. I guess it's a good thing you came back Light, gives me something to do." Light ponders what his next move should be. If I want to find Near, I'm gonna have to use this kid to meet him. Satori has some thinking skills but it'll be hard to convince him to use the notebook for what I want him to use it for. Maybe something will come up tomorrow. Maybe the police will need to speak with him. Light chuckles. I hope so. I guess I'll see tomorrow. Light continues to think about his plan to become God.
I think this chapter has run long enough. I don't know why I chose the name Satori Aikawa. There is no meaning behind it other than I like the name. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, this character is supposed to parallel Light, and be just like him but has a good heart not saying Light didn't before. I hope you guys like to see what becomes of Satori. Have a good day/night and I'll see you in the next chapter!
