Chapter 11:
Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the DEATH NOTE were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many times as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time it was filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies.
Whenever you want to change anything written on after you wrote, you must rule out the characters you want to erase with two straight lines.
As you see above, the time and condition of death can be changed, but once the victim's name has been written, the individual's death can never be avoided.
December 19:
She was sitting in the First Floor, West Wing library at To-Oh. Flipping through, surprise-surprise, a mythological book of local and wide spread myths and legends across the country. Her teeth worried her bottom lip constantly, turning it a rather rosy red color with the constant attention.
There were actually many legends of Death God's throughout history.
Before she went back in time, there was a story about a Death God and a farmer (go figure.)
The Death God was bothering this poor farmer and his family, eating all of their crops so they couldn't make any money or survive for the oncoming winter. The poor farmer begged the Death God to stop, that they needed that food.
The Death God only laughed and said it wouldn't matter, he would be back later and then left, taking a basket of apple's with him.
(It wasn't much of a legend, but it was something- and it suspiciously sounded a lot like a certain apple loving Shinigami that adored annoying her now.)
There was also a legend back during the time she WAS in the fudel area.
A creature immerged from the swamp, invisible to the naked eye, mute to the human ears. The creature grabbed people's ankles, causing them to trip on the path, spilling their food they had collected.
The creature left after gathering new fruit's, leaving the mortal confused and dazed.
A merchant came across a slug creature eating fruit off the trail about a mile or so. He had asked if the creature be demon.
The creature scoffed and said that she was no demon! The foolish human dares mistake her for a demon? She was no demon, she was a Shinigami! Something more feared then pesky demons.
The creature wrote something down on a sheet of parchment, with a piece of charcoal and then left to vanish back into the murky depths of the swamp.
The merchant died a few days later after telling his tale of disease that was fairly new to the region.
(Kagome shivered, grasping a clear image of the creature that was described.)
And then Kagome found one that sounded more like Dellidublly.
A poor village was raging war against the Panther Demons (something she could very well believe after have encountering them a few times) but they were slowly losing all those who went into war. The head of the little village bowed down in front of a Buddha statue, praying for some way to win the war, or to stop having so many of his people slayed.
Something appeared on his bedside table that morning, a scroll and a piece of charcoal that never seemed to have a dull point.
Confused, the head of the village picked the scroll up and unrolled it, seeing the entire thing blank. Then right before his eyes, gold lettering started appears before it faded to black: "This Death Scroll is property of the mortal realm once it touches down on earthen soil. Write a name down (full name) with that persons face in their mind. In 40 seconds they will die of what is to be known as a "heart attack," or you write another cause of death in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This will not work if it affects more than one life, otherwise the person will die of a heart attack."
(Kagome was very surprised at how detailed this legend was, than once she thought about it more, she wasn't far away from that village when she met Dellidublly and it was towards the end of that little feud.)
The man didn't believe in such rubbish and casted it aside, wondering how the scroll was placed in his room.
The next day his wife died of poison in her wine.
The day after his nephew died of a spear in his chest.
That very same day most of the crops were wiped out.
Left with no other choice, the man had to test the scroll out. Writing down the hostage's name that they had caught just a few days prior.
Less than two minutes after writing down the man's name, a guard that was guarding the prisoner ran to the man, claiming that the prisoner suddenly collapsed and they didn't have a pulse-
Kagome stopped reading and closed the book. It was one thing to see death multiple times, it was another thing to kill someone as well, but reading about death in a legend just wasn't one of her favorite pass times.
Kagome sighed, very certain that that was Dellidublly's scroll that the man had.
Her phone rang loudly in the otherwise silent library; she got glares from some of the people that were in there at that time. She smiled sheepishly and blushed brightly, digging for her cell phone and flipping it open, gathering all of her things and walking quickly to the front of the library.
"Moshi Moshi?" She asked once she was at the safety of outside the doors, she shivered slightly at the December chilly air, but fought it off as she readjusted her bags strap to fit on her shoulder more comfortably.
She started walking towards the little café she always went too, waiting for the caller to greet her as well.
"Kagome." Her eyes widened slightly and her steps faltered for only a second, she quickly fixed her walking and held the phone tighter to her ear.
"Shippou, what's wrong?" His voice sounded so serious, and he would never greet her with her name anymore, it would always be "okaa-san," what happened?
"I smelled a human in my home, Kagome." Shippou stated Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Human's go into your home all the time, Shippou- the maid's and your clients." Kagome answered, the line was silent for a while.
"That's not what I meant, Kagome." Shippou said, his voice even and devoid of emotions. Her eyes widened and she stopped walking all together (he sounded so much like Sesshoumaru.)
"There was a human I did not recognize. They didn't take anything, but they put cameras everywhere. Then I realized that the human smelled familiar, I had to think where I had smelled him before. Then it hit me…" Shippou paused, waiting for any sign from Kagome.
She sucked in a breath.
As if satisfied with that response, he continued: "...A human named Watari called me, Kagome. Apparently I'm under suspicion of being associated with Kira." His voice was a deadly calm. Kagome's eyes widened. Oh. Hell.
