Chapter 2

A New Beginning

As Amethyst and I landed with a thud on our buts in the middle of an ally, we realized that we had made it to earth.

"Well, we made it" I commented as I quickly got up " I have an idea, why don't we go get two cell phones so we can stay in touch?"

"What would we need to keep in touch for" Amethyst asked, looking confused. I then remembered that I had yet to mention my plan.

"Well, I don't think the Shinigami are together so it would be a good idea to split up" I said. Amethyst nodded thoughtfully before she cleared her throat.

"Alright, yeah I think that's a good idea" I grinned at her.

"But who gets which?" she asked, making me pause for a moment. We didn't know who had the death notes yet, but Amethyst seemed to think that I knew more than she did.

" Well I know, there's Ryuk and Rem" I comment remembering the two Shinigamis I had once met. They were the most likely to go down to earth, by accident or not. I had an issue with Ryuk's attitude, too careless, so I chose him. Amethyst can find Rem.

My sister nodded at me, smirking slightly.

"Alright, that should work, take your time sis" she said waging her fingers at me in her traditional wave. "All right then I can sense Ryuk and Rem" I mutter "Rem is that a away and Ryuk is that away" I pointed, "later sis"

And with that the two sisters parted ways.

"Hmm lets see," I muttered as I started walking towards the place were I felt Ryuk was "hmmm, were could you be, Ryuk?" I mumbled to myself.
I walked around the corner of the street and found my self on the floor, a man having walked right into me.

"What the hell? Get the fuck off of me!" I groaned, shoving the guy off me.

" I am so sorry! I didn't mean to-" the guy cut off in mid-sentence when he spotted my eyes. I glared at him, though I'll admit it he was kind of cute with dark brown hair hanging in his face.

" Nice contacts, I'm Light Yagami, by the way" he said, getting up and holding down his hand to help me get up.

I pushed it away and got up by my own, dusting myself off. Suddenly, Ryuk came around the corner and stopped behind Light. My eyes widened slightly, but I quickly remembered that Light didn't know what I was and therefor wouldn't know that I can see the Shinigami standing behind him. I had to figure out a way to snach his death note with out his knowledge, but how? Well, I could always ask him.

"Umm... well, I have to go" I cheerfully said and waited until Light was out of sight. "Ryuk!" my voice dripping with venom "What are you doing on earth?I demanded.

"I was bored, so I decided to drop by" he said, blinking lazily at me as he hovered a foot above the ground.

"Hmph, you know that you're not allowed here and that the death note must remain in your world" I snarled angrily, Ryuk's lazy tone was pissing me off.
He just shrugged.

" I dropped it. You know the rules. What's your name again? Ruby? Crimson?" he mocked, looking around.

"Scarlet, my name is Scarlet," I narrow my eyes at him. "But that is beside the point; when you found it, you should have gone home. You know the rules."
He grinned then, and it would have been scary if I had not been so pissed off.

"But Light found it before I did" he said, making me purse my lips. I hated when someone bested me, but he was right. Death gods only get one note book and when it was taken, they had to wait until the person died or gave it up.

" So, that human has your book, hmm? I thought you of all people of all would not be so clumsy, Ryuk" I goaded him "Letting a human get your book is a stupid thing to do"
I turned around, looking back at him over my shoulder to tell him off one last time "Your book will be returned, it is not over yet Ryuk" I turned back "good day to you."

"This should make things interesting" I thought I heard him mumble, but it must have been my imagination.

I decided to call Amethyst.

"Hey Amethyst, I found Ryuk" I said as I talked though the cell phone "Any luck on your end?"

"Well, I discovered the holder of Rem's notebook, her name is Misa Amane. Oh and I had an idea; did you that there's a detective after them?" she asked. I rose an eyebrow.

"Hmmm, no didn't" I commented "Whats your plan, sis?"

"Well, I thought we could go help him, it would be fun and return balance at the same time" she said

"Well, its worth a try" I agreed, nodding to myself "Lets meet there soon ok?" I suggested.

"Meet where? At the headquarters? Let me remind you that we don't now were it is," she commented

"Don't worry I will catch up to Light and Ryuk, and follow them and then I will call you with the address" I soothed.

"Who's Light?" she asked. Oops, I forgot to tell her.

"Oh right Light has Ryuk's book, but don't worry he doesn't know who I am." I informed her quickly.

I could almost feel her nodding through the phone.

"Ah, I see. Don't tell him quite yet though" she said, I rolled my eyes of course I wouldn't tell him, why would I tell him anyways?

I sighed "I got to go I have to catch up with Light" we said quick goodbyes, and I took off running after Light.

"Light! Hey, Light wait up" I called.

He paused and turned back to look at me questioningly,

"Yes?" he asked

"Umm, I was wondering, I read about the murders happing and I love mysteries, could I come with you?" I begged "Please?"

Light got a fake confused look on his face.

"What makes you think that I have anything to do with the Kira killings?" he asked and I thought I could detect a hint of fear in his voice, but I wasn't sure. Psychology was Amethyst's area, not mine.

I pointed at the folder he held in his arms.

"You look like the kind of guy who knows what's going on. Do you know where the headquarters of the investigation is?" I asked "I also think this Kira has to be stopped and you need all the help you can get"

Light looked at me oddly, and for a second I didn't know why.

"How can you know I work with the police?" he asked, my eyes widened slightly, shit I hadn't thought that far yet.

Shit ok Scarlet make it, "Umm well you looked kinda weird running so fast and when you ran into me I saw what you were holding and then when you left I read the news paper." I replayed hoping he did not know I was lying through my teeth.
He seemed to think about it for a moment, before he nodded warily.

"Sure... I'll let the head of the investigation know first though, alright?" he asked. I nodded and he did so quickly, before returning to me with a confused look on his face.

"He said you could come. Follow me," Light said before walking off. Ryuk was giggling lightly, which was odd on him, so I settled for glaring at him before i set off to follow Light to the headquarters of the Kira investigation.
