A/N: Bored while unable to sleep, figured I'd write out and post another chapter. Oh and I remembered reading somewhere (probably another fanfic) that if Light was more mature and less naïve when beginning his reign as Kira, he would have won unquestionably. Please enjoy and review :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.
CHAPTER TWO: DOUBTLESS.
There's no way this can be true. Something like this HAS to be fake, or the world should have heard about it by now. Still, no harm in trying it I guess.
Light carried the Death Note into his house, after ensuring there wasn't anybody hiding on his roof or in a nearby tree. He set it down on the table, and turned on the television. The news was on, reporting somebody who had set fire to a local school after trapping the students inside.
"Still no word on the whereabouts of Kurou Otoharada, the man who escaped from prison after terrorizing a preschool four years ago. Otoharada had been sentenced to life in prison, but recently escaped and the police believe him to be the one to set this school on fire, to finally claim the lives of the children who escaped him before."
Light wasted no time in writing the name of the man in the Death Note. After all, if it worked he couldn't waste any time; if it didn't, then he could still help with the investigation.
If this book doesn't work, I wonder if I should test it for fingerprints…? It might be amusing to see the look on the face of whoever tried to prank somebody with this…
Kurou Otoharada – Heart Attack – Uses the nearest phone to alert the media to his location and confess his crimes since escaping prison, dies immediately after hanging up.
Light began counting down the seconds.
35…
30…
25…
20…
15…
10…
5…
Zero.
Light waited a few more seconds…
"We've just been called by Kurou Otoharada with both his current location and confessed that not only was it he who tried to burn down the building, but he's also robbed three different houses and killed somebody who had recognized him! I don't know what his purpose here is, unless he's attempting to mock the legal system, but if this is his true location, then it should be no problem for him to be caught by the police!"
Light stared in shock as the news network listed Otoharada's location on the screen. That was only halfway between Light's house and the school! There was only one way he could confirm that it wasn't some odd coincidence… Light left for that area as fast as possible, knowing that there was a pay phone there.
-One week later-
I still can't believe that this Death Note is actually REAL… Oh well… criminals are dying, and that has to be a good thing… It can't be considered murder if all I technically did was write their names in a notebook, after all. In one week, on February 1st 2010, exactly four hundred criminals will die of a heart attack at seven pm. Then, the world will have to acknowledge the existence of a true God who is destroying the corrupt, as it should be.
Light was proud because he had finally begun to keep his promise to his father, on a scale much larger than possible before. Now, the world could be cleansed.
END CHAPTER TWO: DOUBTLESS.
A/N: Light decided to kill them all at once rather than just at any time, so that he could see the media's reaction to their deaths, and it would be impossible to cover up deaths at that scale. This way, it would also be impossible to claim that it was some very random and confusing coincidence. What do you think of the story so far? I'll update while you review :)
