Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note (Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata own it), nor do I own Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling owns that). If I did then Harry would have been a lot more mentally insane and with Draco, and L and Raito would have lived somehow.

Summary: See previous chapters.

Side Note: This story will move a little faster than Mystic Green Eyes. Only the first two chapters was about Akemi's (Harry's) childhood before Raito discovers the DN. Now we're on the right timeline. Yay. Things will be so much more fun now! You'll probably see flashbacks of Akemi's childhood eventually.

Pairings: Luna (Truffle)/Neville(Carrageen a.k.a. Irish Moss)

Pairing Possibilities (ideas are welcomed but I am not taking votes): Mello/Akemi/Matt, Mello/Akemi/Near, Near/Akemi/Matt, Mello/Akemi, Matt/Akemi, Near/Akemi, Matt/Sayu, L/Raito (Raito/L), Raito/Akemi, L/Akemi, L/Akemi/Raito

You know, a lot of people want to see Raito/Akemi, L/Akemi, L/Akemi/Raito, or Mello/Akemi, Mello/Akemi/Matt… I find it amusing. I'm personally tempted to write a Mello/Akemi/Matt or Mello/Akemi/Near.

Warnings: Death. Gore. Slash. Dark humor. Mental jumps that my mind may make while writing this (meaning I might write something that actually has a lot more thought to it than I thought I was capable of). Let's see… Anything I'm forgetting, and you people might notice.

Timeline: Following the DN manga. Beginning of 1st chapter only is set in the HP world.

Side Notes

I: Harry's/Akemi's Abilities: 1)Seer 2) Painting/Drawing 3)Violin 4)Shinigami Eyes 5)Singing

I have decided not to make Akemi/Harry an elemental. Also, from now on I'll just refer to Harry as Akemi.

II: Eventually I will go back and explain what happened to Akemi. I'm thinking of having Raito have a mental breakdown when Akemi disappears or begins working with L. Suggestions are welcomed.

III: Someone asked me about the ages…Well, I'm not good with math, but here's a list of character birthdates and their ages according to Harry's/Akemi's current age.

Raito's (Light's) Birth date: February 28, 1986, currently age 17

L's (Ryuzaki's) Birth date: October 31, 1979, currently age 24

Akemi's (Harry's) Birth date-HP world: July 31, 1980, DN World: April 4, 1989, currently age 14

Matt's Birth date: February 1, 1990, currently age 13

Sayu's Birth date: June 18, 1989, currently age 14

Misa's Birth date: December 25, 1984, currently age 19

Near's Birth date: August 24, 1991, currently age 12

Mello's Birth date: December 13, 1989, currently age 14

Current Year (according to the ages): 2003

Anything else I'm forgetting or have misjudged/calculated let me know.

IV. Death (HP world version): Always wears a cloak and hood to hide his face. Red eyes (like the Shinigami).

Harry's looks in the DN world (age 14 at beginning of the Death Note Manga): blue-green eyes. Chestnut hair, long (to waist), straight, curls slightly at ends, is usually pulled back into a low tail at the nape of his neck. Bangs swept over left eye.

Keiji & Tetsuya: "Keiji and Tetsuya were twins, and identical in all ways, except Keiji had dark hazel eyes, while Tetsuya had light hazel eyes. They both had naturally messy black hair which flipped in random directions at the tips."

Side Note: I believe Akemi is one of those people who seem to attract twins to him for some unfathomable reason.

AAL: A brief previous section this time, feel free to skip over it. I'm sure half of you do.

Anything else I will mention after the chapter. Enjoy reading.

Chapter 4:

Previously:

"Raito turned around, coming face to face with a monstrous creature whose face was deathly pale blue with yellow eyes, and a frightening grin.

"Aaargh…!" Raito began to scream, before cutting himself off, remembering Akemi was in his room, and Akemi could sense when he seemed to be startle.

In Akemi's room:

Akemi glanced at the wall separating Raito's room from his humming. His hand frozen over his treasured sketchbook, a playful smile stretching across his lips, even as his blue-green eyes gazed off into the distance. In his sketchbook a pair of dark lips were pulled into an amused grin revealing sharp, pointed teeth, frightening in their appearance, and a pair of wide dark golden eyes hovering above."

Now:

Vol. 1 Boredom

Chapter One Boredom Part 2

"Why're you so surprised to see me?" The monstrous creature asked. He was tall, lanky with long limbs. He wore an outfit made of blacks and blues, chains, and other odd assortments that could fit either gothic, punk, or a mixture of the two genres to the untrained eye. His black hair was spiked back, making his bluish-white skin seem even more sickly than it was. Wide gold eyes watched Raito amused. Dark blue almost black lips surrounded sharp white teeth.

"I'm Ryuk, the Shinigami who dropped that notebook. The way you were acting just now, I can tell you know it isn't just any old notebook… Right?" Ryuk explained, as if it was an everyday occurrence.

"A Shinigami?" Raito visibly collected himself, it was okay to be shocked/scared witless every now and then, just as long no one else saw it. "A 'Death God'…" Raito used his desk chair to pull himself up into a standing position. "I'm not surprised to see you Ryuk."

Ryuk watched the human curiously as the human regained himself. This human was something else. Most humans would be stuttering by now, or at least they had during his other experiences with Death Note users. Maybe it was because so many years had passed since the last time he had been here and supernatural occurrences were more readily accepted? Ryuk decided not to think about it, he'd just give himself a headache in the end.

"…In fact…" Raito continued, "I've been waiting for you…"

"Really." Not a question, a statement from Ryuk.

Raito forced an unsure grin on his face. "Gee, a personal visit from a Shinigami… Very kind of you… Not that I doubted if this was a "Death God's Notebook" but… Seeing things with my own eyes like this lets me act with greater certainty." Raito placed a hand on the notebook without glancing down, turning slightly, he picked the note book up, eyes never leaving Ryuk. "Plus, there're some things I wanted to ask you…"

Raito eyed Ryuk, as if judging him or waiting for a reaction. He pulled the notebook in front of him, opening it in the same movement, eyes wide. The notebook was full with names. Almost every single line had a name on it.

Ryuk took the notebook from Raito, slightly impressed by the human as he began to flip through the notebook. "Hee hee… Wow, this is amazing. Gotta say, I'm the one who's surprised. I've heard of Death Notes getting down to the human world a few times before… but no one's done this many in just five days. Most people would be too scared." The last sentence was said casually.

Raito's eyes widen in surprise. "I'm ready for anything Ryuk." Raito's face darkened slightly. "I used the notebook knowing it belonged to a Shinigami… and now the Shinigami's here… What happens to me now…? You take my soul or something?"

"Huh? What's this? Some fantasy you humans came up with? I'm not going to do anything to you. The moment a Death Note lands in the human world, it belongs to the human world." Ryuk explained. Raito remained silent. "So it's yours now." Ryuk stated pointing at Raito.

Raito's eyes widen as his mind registered what Ryuk had said. "Mine.."

Ryuk opened Raito's bedroom window. "You don't want it, give it to another human. When you do, I'll just have to erase all your Death Note memories."Ryuk shifted all his weight to on leg. "Oh, and…" Ryuk pushed spreading his wings, flying until he landed at a nearby telephone pole. "Since you've used what was my notebook, you're the only one who can see me. Nobody else can hear me either, of course."

Below Ryuk people were laughing and talking. Raito watched as Wiggy raced out the door dragging Akemi behind her as if he was a rag doll. Akemi's bright laughter filtered through the window.

" The Death Note… is the bond between Raito the human and Ryuk the Shinigami." Ryuk evoked the bond into existence with that simple statement, though Raito would never know.

"The bond… So there really is no price to pay for using the Death Note?" Raito asked as Ryuk perched on the window, preparing to pull himself back into Raito's room.

Ryuk walked towards Raito as he answered. "Well, not exactly… But there is the terror and torment that only humans who've used it will experience, and when you die… I'll be the one writing your name down, but… Don't think that any human who's used the Death Note can go to Heaven or to Hell. That's all."

Awkward silence hung thickly in the air for a couple of minutes between the two. They both chuckled, feeling the atmosphere thicken. Ryuk, trying to lighten the mood some, "You'll find out about that after you die."

A rush of feet on the stairs and a knock on Raito's bedroom door stopped Raito from continuing the conversation with Ryuk. Raito sent Ryuk a look, clearly stating that they would finish this conversation later that evening.

Raito unlocked the door after placing the notebook in his bag. "Akemi, didn't we already have our bonding time." Raito wondered briefly when Akemi had gotten back from walking Wiggy.

Akemi stared at him with sparkling blue-green eyes. "Sayu's home. Now, we need fellow sibling bonding time with the three of us. Wiggy is laying down in my room with the door opened. Sayu should be up in a couple minute with drinks." Akemi waltzed into the room and tossed himself onto Raito's bed. Ryuk was hiding in a shadowed corner, observing the two.

This new human also amused him for some reason. The two were soon joined by what Ryuk would guess as a female of their species. The girl placed the drinks on three coasters on Raito's desk.

"I swear, you two love bugging me." Raito grumbled good naturedly.

"We're not that bad." Sayu grinned, taking a sip of her fruit punch.

"No, your worse." Raito deadpanned. "When I finally get done with one, the other pops up. Or, you both show up out of no where."

"You're just jealous." Akemi smirked.

"What do I have to be jealous of?"

Akemi and Sayu traded looks, both trying to think of something. Sayu nodded to herself. "That Akemi and I can pass for twins if we wished."

Raito raised an eyebrow. "Good, the two of you can bother each other without me then." Sayu pouted.

Akemi stared at the ceiling in thought. "How about the fact that we're better looking than you could ever be."

Raito chuckled. Leave it to Akemi to be conceited about looks at the most random times. "I'll have you know that there are a lot of girls who'd disagree with you."

"Not if I already charmed them." Akemi quipped. Sayu giggled. It wasn't a common argument between the siblings. It only ever popped up when the two were relaxed with nothing to really worry about. Mainly during Summer break, but it was already Fall.

"You've got it all wrong, Akemi. Raito is jealous of our cooking skills." Sayu stage whispered. Akemi nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. Too busy studying for college to learn cooking skills."

Raito scowled at the two of them as they laughed, before smiling.

HPDNHPDNHPDNHPDN

Raito sighed, after saying goodnight to Sayu and Akemi, though he had to force Akemi to go to his own bed. Raito turned to Ryuk and pointed a finger at him. "I haven't forgotten our earlier conversation. I have one more question. Why did you choose me?"

"Huh? Hyuk. Hyuk! Don't flatter yourself. All I did was drop the notebook. That's all. You thought I chose you? 'Cuz you're so smart or something. It just happened to land somewhere around here…and you just happened to pick it up. That's why I wrote the instructions in English- it's the most popular language in your world." Ryuk explained to the human before him. He wondered where these humans came up with their ideas about chosen ones and Death's hands in the way of life. Maybe he should find someone and have them write a book, so he wouldn't always have to give such long explanations to them.

Raito was shocked by such a notion. "Then why did you drop it? Don't tell me it was by mistake, after you went and wrote the instructions."

Ryuk thought about his answer for a moment. "Why did I drop it…? Because I was bored, that's why." A flash of barren landscape entered Ryuk's mind. All the Shinigami lazing about without much else to do but gambling and watching the Human Realm when gambling grew to be to much to handle for one's sanity.

Raito didn't speak, so Ryuk decided to explain a bit about the Shinigami Realm. How the Shinigami would nap for days on end, and even writing human names in the Death Note was considered as a pathetic way to spend your time.

"I'm in the Shinigami's Realm, so killing people in the Human World isn't any fun. But if I write the names of Shinigami into the book, they don't die. It's more fun to be here, is how I figured it."

An understanding silence spread between the two of them. Ryuk was the first to break it again. "Gotta say, though, you really wrote a lot of names in here."

"I was… bored too…" Raito confessed. "Of course, I didn't believe it at first… But that notebook has a power… That makes anybody want to try using it, at least once."

::Flashback::

Raito laid on his bed thinking about the Death Note as he stared at the ceiling. The Death Note sat innocently on his desk, subtly drawing his gaze to it. Tempted, Raito got up and walked to his desk taking a seat. He flipped open the Death Note contemplating if he should or shouldn't test it, especially since he wasn't sure how to find out if it worked or not. That's when it hit him. Channel 6 News!

He used the remote to turn on the small T.V. in his room by his desk, and situated in the corner.

A male reporter's voice spoke through the T.V.'s speakers. He was describing a hostage situation. "The man who indiscriminately killed and wounded six people yesterday in Shinjuku is still barricaded inside this nursery school with eight hostages. Including little children. The Metropolitan Police have determined the man's identity." A photo was displayed on the T.V. screen. "He is Kurou Otoharada, 42 years old and unemployed. Two days ago, Otoharada…"

Raito wrote the man's name in the Death Note now that he had a face to go with it. It was now 6:23.00 in the evening. He watched his alarm clock count the seconds. "Forty seconds and it's a heart attack." Raito told himself as the clock showed 6:23.41.

"That's forty seconds…" Nothing, Raito thought disappointedly, I knew it.

"What's this…? The hostages are coming out!" The news reporter shouted out in surprise. "They all seem to be all right. And now the police are going in! Will they be able to arrest Otoharada?" A few minutes passed as the newsman tried getting a few quick interviews with some of the hostages. "They're coming back out! But no sign of their captor just yet. What exactly is going on? This just in! The captor is inside the nursery school, and he is dead! It appears that Otoharada is dead!"

"Dead?" Raito quickly turned back to the Death Note.

The newsman continued with his report. "The police are emphasizing that they did not shoot him. Could that mean he committed suicide? Well, the hostages are apparently saying he suddenly collapsed…"

A heart attack… "It could be a coincidence. There's only one way to find out…" Before Raito could do anything else he heard his name being called. He glanced out his room to see his mother at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's 6:25 already. You have your prep course today." She reminded him.

Raito reassured her that he was just getting ready to go his thoughts still on the Death Note and Otoharada's death. Akemi walked by his room and peeked in as he popped a grape into his mouth. His eyes briefly flashed a dark blood red as he heard Raito's muttering before resuming their normal blue-green brilliance.

Akemi suddenly found himself wanting to draw again. It seemed to be happening a lot lately. Wiggy remained silent besides her owner as they watched Raito leave. Akemi glanced down at Wiggy. "It seems things are changing, doesn't it Wiggy? I wonder what sort of events these changes will bring."

Wiggy whined, ears flat against her head. Akemi hummed in slight agreement. "Not all changes are good."

HPDNHPDNHPDNHPDN

Raito contemplated who he should use as his next test subject. He eyed a group of bullies before dismissing the thought. He only responded out of habit as the teacher yelled at him for zoning out in class. Can't have the star pupil falling behind. He was still thinking on it as he left the prep class for the night.

'Damn. Start looking around you… And all you see are people the world would be better off without.' People gossiping, a classmate complaining about petty things, and a motorcycle gang harassing a girl in his class as she walked home alone. Though Raito couldn't remember her name at the moment. He walked into a nearby convenient store as the leader of the bike gang introduced himself.

"My names Takuo Shibuimaru, that's Shibutaku for short. Heh heh… Come on, girlie, how about it?"

Raito flipped open a comic book and pretended to read as he easily hid the Death Note from sight. In it he wrote, "Takuo Shibuimaru. Traffic Accident." He wrote that about six times before keeping time with his watch. Raito looked up in time to see his classmate run across the street at a crosswalk, Takuo Shibuimaru giving chase.

"Taku! Watch out…" One of the others called out watching in horror.

Raito's eyes widen as a passing truck hit Takuo Shibuimaru, instantly killing him.

"This… Proves it. The Death Note… Really works!"

Raito could hear the commotion coming from the biker's friends, and the girl across the street as people panicked about the "accident". He slipped out of the store unnoticed, hand to his mouth. He could feel bile trying to race up his throat. Raito quickly raced over to an alleyway, where he wouldn't draw much attention.

He wiped his mouth off once he had spit the last of the bile out. Suddenly he realized something. "I… I've killed two people…"

He looked at his hands, his mind racing trying to understand everyhting. "I've… killed… two people… Me… What do I do… Get… rid of this evil thing…" He clutched the Death Note through his school bag. Mind racing. If he got rid of it, who else would pick it up? Who else would use it? For what purpose. "No…" Raito couldn't get rid of something so dangerous to be used by those who would be reckless with such power.

"I was actually doing a service, killing him…" Raito stated to himself. It helped thinking out loud. An image of his first kill flashed through his eyes has he had seen him on the news. Then, the traffic accident followed. "But what about the second guy…? That wasn't worth the Death Penalty, what he did.."

Raito went silent as his mind began to calm down. He paused. Wasn't this what he had just been thinking earlier? "No wait…" Raito had to admit it out loud, at least to himself. "This is what I've been thinking all along…"

His face suddenly looked more sinister. "This world is a rotten mess," his hands clenched into fists, "it really needs to be cleaned up."

Raito continued on his walk home, mumbling to himself beneath his breath, so other may not hear what he was saying. They would think he was another student struggling with exams. "The question is…"

Raito got home a little later than usual. Sayu was asleep as well as their mom. Akemi's door was opened. He could see wiggy laying on the bed, Akemi's back against the wall. A sketch pad was propped up on his legs as he focused with unseeing eyes on his drawing. Raito went into his room. Immediately he hid under the covers like a little kid. He had thought he was to old for such nonsense, but right now he felt shaken to the core. "Do I have the guts…?"

(1)Akemi shifted from his seating arrangement feeling bones pop. He had seen Raito come home, but did not say anything focused on his sketch pad. Looking at what he drew, Akemi frowned. The picture was disturbing to him. Blood covered most of the picture, a body hidden from sight. A motorcycle with the wheels still spinning. And, a pair of familiar eyes with an insane glint revealing madness forming within the depths of the person's soul.

"Raito? What have you done?" Akemi asked the eyes. (1)

The next day Raito waved his siblings off as they split up while walking to school with others their age heading in similar directions. His mind was completely still on what he had done last night. He had tossed and turned unable to sleep without the thoughts plaguing him. Then, this morning Akemi had been quieter than usual. Blue-green eyes watching him in silent contemplation. Those eyes had silently studied him as if looking for something out of place, but Raito had been careful to give akemi no signs od his distress.

Now he was free to think some more on what he wanted to without Akemi watching him. 'Just two, and look at me…' Raito thought of the deaths. 'Well… It's only natural. They're human lives… Of course it isn't easy. Can I take it? Maybe not.' His thoughts settled for a minute as he took in the hustle and bustle of the city life around him. 'But… Come on, I can't quit. So I lose my peace of mind. So I sacrifice people's lives… Somebody has to do this! The world needs to be cleaned up.'

He watched distractedly from his seat in the class as the teacher walked in. 'Just suppose I gave the notebook to someone else. Could they do it? Nobody would have the guts…' He thought of the others' reactions to such power in their hands. 'But I do… I could do it… Not just that… I'm the Only One who could do it. So I'll do it! I'm using the Death Note… to change the world.'

::End of Flashback::

"Okay." Ryuk stated, clearly uninterested in Raito's story.

"I admit. It's been giving me bad dreams and I've hardly slept the last five days. I've lost ten pounds." Raito's mind flashed to Akemi's concerned blue-green eyes. He wondered how Akemi could sense something was wrong with him when none of the other members of their family had. "Still, I'm on a mission here. So I've been… Writing in the name's of the world's most brutal criminals. All the data I need is in my room. World news 24 hours a day on TV…Plus everythingon the internet."

Ryuk flipped through the Death Note again. He noticed something. "But you only specified the cause of death for the guy who got hit by the truck, nobody else. How come? Can't be bothered?"

Raito grinned happily. "If you don't specify the cause o f death, they all die from a heart attack." Raito pointed out. Ryuk stared at him, eyes curious. So, Raito continued. "That's the best thing about the Death Note Ryuk.I've covered the most vicious criminals. So now the level of atrocity is coming down. And every single one of them will die of a heart attack!"

Raito stood up from his desk seat. "Even a fool is going to notice that somebody is bumping off the bad guys. I'm going to make the whole world know I'm here… That somebody is passing ridhteous judgement on them!" He looked at Ryuk like he had been given the best Christmas gift ever. "And then nobody will commit crimes anymore. The world will be a better place." Akemi's kidnapping flashed through his mind. Akemi and Sayu would be safe. There would be no one who could hurt them anymore without him punishing them!

"And while people who obviously deserve to be punished are dying of heart attacks… I'll gradually be killing off immoral people and people who harass others, through illness and accidents."

Raito turned, arms spread wide as if to embrace the idea that had been forming all along. A pleased smile still on his face. "Even that will eventually be noticed by the idiot masses. They'll realise they'll die if they don't change their ways… I'll make this world inhabited only by people I decide are good!"

Ryuk spoke his passing thought aloud. "You do something like that, the only one left with a bad personality will be you…"

Raito glanced at Ryuk over his shoulder curiously. "What are you talking about Ryuk?" Raito turned to face Ryuk better, a childish smile on his face. "I'm a serious, straight-A student… A model teenager."

Ryuk just watched him. His fist clenched in determination. "And I…will reign the over a new world."

Ryuk grinned, now fully amused. 'I was right. Humans… are fun!'

.

.

A G8 Summit.

A meeting of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).

"Fifty-two in the past week, And that's just those we know about. Every single one from cardiac arrest. All of the victims are criminals either being pursued by police, or already behind bars. We may assume that more wanted criminals, whose whereabouts are unkonwn, have died as well. In which case, the death toll will be over a hundred…" Voices competed with each other to be heard.

A young male listened in on the conversations through a computer, thanks to his assisstent, even though he was not with the Interpol himself. "Hmm… So Interpol's finally started to move on this. Well, this is one case where I am going to need some help from the police.

.

Akemi watched silently as a gothic letter began to form on the white page before him. L.

:End of Chapter One. Boredom.

As always thanks goes out to RivalAdmirer18, especially for putting up with my non-existent communication.

(1)Raito's story but added Akemi's viewpoint briefly.

AN: Argh! Finally done! At least with this blasted chapter. Sighs. Sorry it took forever, but I wanted to introduce L before I stopped. I was hoping to get a bit farther than this but… Shrugs. I need a break. This was frustrating to write because I had to figure out how to add Akemi without deviating from Raito too much.

Akemi will be appearing more in the next chapter. Oh yes he will, even if I have to… Moving on. I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter. I'm tempted to add Beyond Birthday into the mix even though he was already dealt with several years before Death Note timeline. How many of you would like Beyond Birthday to appear? Your opinions are valued if not mentioned.

R&R.
