Chapter 2: Meeting the Shinigami

"…not!" said Light, throwing the 'Death Note' to the floor. She lay back on her bed and placed her front hooves on her head. "But then again…" she pondered. "If it works…you could make them suffer…or die painlessly…I'd be a god…I'd be THE god…pfft! As if…"

Light picked up her TV remote and turned on the TV. She had an interest in watching the news. Her mother, Applejack Sparkle, was the chief of police in Japan, and she herself had taken a liking to detective work.

"Pelle Hemmy, a famous doctor in the area, was arrested yesterday for overdosing a patient. He claims it 'was an accident', but video proof shows him doing it knowingly. In his fight to escape police, he has taken 20 students and 4 teachers at a local school hostage." said the news caster, on a famous channel called Sakura TV.

"Hmm…" Light thought to herself, as she picked up a pen and wrote the name in the Death Note. After she wrote his name, she looked at her watch and then at the TV constantly. It was a live broadcast, so it'd be easy to discover if it is fake or true. After around 40 seconds, Light laid back in her chair, disappointed.

"What would I expe-!" she exclaimed as suddenly all of the hostages poured out of the building. The police force ran in only to discover Pelle on the ground, dead from a heart attack.

"Enjoying it?" asked a sudden unknown voice from behind her, as she was watching the news. No one should have been in her room. The door was locked. As she looked up, she saw a creature, with purple scales, green spines, a pointed tail and large, sharp teeth. Each scale and spine was pointed sharply. Disappointingly, he was only the height of a young pony.

"Hello, Light. I am…a shinigami!" he said, for dramatic effect.

"H-hello. I've been expecting you…" replied Light, calmly, going for the Death Note.

"Hm?" questioned the shinigami, with a confused look.

"You really appeared. I connected some dots, and came to the conclusion that you would appear soon." she said, as she held up the Death Note with her hooves.

"Wow! I've heard of people using the Death Note, most are too scared to, but you are the first I know that has filled up a page! Much less five!" he exclaimed, browsing the Death Note carefully.

"So…what will you do to me? Take my soul?" asked Light, holding her front hoof outwards.

"Hm? We don't do that. That's just an old ponies tale. I won't touch you. I can't, anyway. You own my Death Note. When it lands in the human world, the human to pick it up owns it. If you don't like it, tough luck! I'll wipe your memories if you give it away. As the owner of the Death Note, you are the sole soul that can hear or see me in this world. The Death Note bonds us."

"Bonds us?"

Author's Note: Screw it. This story will have very short chapters. I don't care much for this story, so don't expect much.
