Authoress Note: (lifts off in rocket mode)! Whoo!!! 30 reviews! 30 reviews! You know what that means folks? That's right, Hatter-chan plans to do a sketch of the Life Script Notebook on Deviantart! Indeed! You guys have been such great reviewers for helping the story get so popular! Teehee!

Once again I hand over the spotlight to my many reviewers!

Gamefreak321(a new comer): Thanks for taking time to come by and read my story. Yes, don't we all find the Life Script's set of rules intriguing? Haha. I know I do. So I'm glad to see some new faces to the reviewer squad. Thanks.

KakaIru-luver (another newcomer): Yay! Another new reviewer who has taken to my story. The Life Script? The book itself? Genius? Aw, shucks. It's not that great, I'm sure. I mean, not everything is perfect. Thank you, I appreciate that. Great to having you into the fray. Thanks very much.

Now for the usual suspects, ahaha. Line 'em up!

Sharnii Brooke: Ah…as endearing as that seems, I'm sure nobody really wants to kiss a shinigami. Lol, hugs are as far as I believe Keegan would go. Ooh? The cliff hangers? You like? So do I. I find it always great to leave my readers on the edge of their seats when it comes to chapters like Chapter 11. Haha. I promise you'll be on the edge of your seat with this one. Kind of. Thanks as usual.

Syrupdrip: Ah! I see you must have received quite a shock when you read that part about the pen flying out of Light's hand. I can't tell you what will happen if he tries to again with other people Keegan tries to bring back. You thought the pen flying out of Light's hand was scary? Wait 'til you see this chapter. I guarantee you will be shocked. Thanks.

Sahxyel: Keegan and Light are the opposite of each other. Wonder what would happen if the coin landed on its edge? Ooohhh…then we'd never know who'd win. It might be a stalemate. Hehehe. Big thanks.

Michi-nin: Light? Get mad? No. Really? Haha. Yeah, he probably will because he won't be able to figure out if she made it wrong on purpose or not. I think that it would be great if he gave the 'right' answer to the 'right' version of it and got it all wrong. Hah. Thanks.

PiScEs-BlOsSoM69: Just remember, the original Spyro games were badass, not the new ones. Ryuk? In love? Hmmm…not yet. Let's wait 'til later. Thanks.

Enjoy Chapter 12!

Keegan gave him a rather funny, and disturbed look, "Really? Ah…Well, let's hope you didn't drop this for that reason." She held the notebook out in front of her. "Ew. Gross much?"

"Please? The chances of me doing something stupid like the shinigami who made that are below 0. Also, you humans are weak and pathetic to begin with. Who'd wanna love you?" Keegan watched him turn his back to her and make retching noises of disgust.

"Yeah, I could do the same towards you but out of respect and decency I choose not to." Keegan rolled her eyes. "Besides, if I'm so pathetic why do you stick around me? It's not just the apple thing."

"I plan on getting my well earned rewards." Ryuk cracked his knuckles. Keegan could hear the bones popping repeatedly until Ryuk stopped.

"Sounds like a motor." She hummed in reference to the rhythmic sound his knuckles made when he cracked them. "By the way, is the shinigami who made the Life Script still around?" Keegan casually flipped through the pages to count how many names she had written down.

Ryuk was crawling around on her ceiling before she suddenly prodded him with the stray swiffer sweeper by the staircase. "Get down from there. Unless you're going to clean for cobwebs, get down." She batted at him twice with the swiffer before he grabbed it.

"Stop hitting me! I'll talk, I'll talk. You know, I'm pretty bored in this damn place. Don't you do anything fun? I don't know if I'm more bored here or with Light."

Keegan drew the swiffer away from him while tapping her foot. "So talk."

"Well, as far as I know, the two 'lovers' are as dead as a dead skunk."

"So, chances of finding out the Script's true origins are slim to nil." Keegan frowned. "Big help that is."

Ryuk crawled around on the ceiling before dropping down in front of her again. "Come on, seriously. Do you just sit around your house all day and do nothing but work for school and such? Light's home life was a bit more interesting than yours."

"Well, I was actually planning on doing some cleaning around the house today. Mainly in the kitchen, living room, and bathroom, but otherwise no. I don't do much. I'm a hermit almost." Keegan added. "So, we can clean house if that helps."

"Chores?! I don't work, I'm a freeloader."

"Look, all you'd have to do is swiffer along the ceiling and upper walls to get the dust off them. I can handle everything else." Keegan added.

"Well, let's see, afterwards you plan to reward me for being a good little shinigami, right?" He licked those blackened lips before Keegan smacked him with the swiffer again. "Ouch! Will you quit it!"

"Down boy, down. I've got some apple juice in the fridge and I don't think you want to get on my bad side today when you've got so much yummy apple goodies to try."

"You're an evil soul. I don't care if you're human, you're worse than any gambling shinigami I've ever known."

"I know I am."

The little plastic chess set had been arranged in its usual OCD fashion before they were arranged in many different positions to symbolize how far the SPK force was in this game. "Hm." Cold, dark, blank eyes gazed at the little board games and various other stray objects littered on the floor of the room. "I think that I might need another piece to my game." Near said suddenly to no one in particular.

After all the reports of all of these miracles of people coming back to life were coming in, Near had been rather busy with both hands. Not just on the Kira case, but now he had this strange 'Kuro' who claimed to be challenging Kira's wit, faith, and possibly his sanity in a sense. All of the evidence that the SPK had gathered so far was that Kuro was not on anybody's side. "Kuro is not evil. Evil people don't return life." He mumbled.

"Gevanni. I need the new reports in on this Kuro character. Anything new?" Near asked, now playing with some lego blocks off to the side. "I want to know what we're up against."

"Nothing yet. Although…in Japan, the Task Force there has been receiving messages from Kuro and even a response from Kira at one point. Apparently Kira wasn't pleased with Kuro's challenge." Was Gevanni's response.

"Ahh…I see. So it's true then. Kuro seems to be messing with Kira. I assume after Kuro brought back to life a minor criminal that Kira had disposed of, it must have shut him up quite a bit. I wish I had a front row seat on Kuro's playing side of the field."

"But sir, we don't want to arrest Kuro do we?" Miss Lidner asked with concern suddenly.

"Hm?" Near perked his head up. "No. Not at all. I have a pretty good idea what we can do. Kuro is not necessarily killing people, instead this Kuro is righting Kira's wrongs. What would be great to find out is knowing who Kuro is so we can strike an alliance with this strange individual. We'd have a bigger advantage then. But I suppose this can work to our advantage as well, not knowing who Kuro is. I suggest we try a live stream out to Kuro and the Task Force in Japan advising Kuro the contact us if he'd like to help lead us to Kira. Provided we not interfere though." He flicked a misshapen lego block to the side.

"I think Kuro might be a reasonable person." He chuckled.

Light stared long and hard at the Death Note. Out of all of the outrageous things he had ever seen…the Death Note had never done that before. "Maybe it was because I had all ready written down this criminal's names all ready. Huh. Nevermind. I'll just try and mess with some of the names that Kuro's all ready brought back to life. Best that I hit Kuro's ego with the first person he brought back."

Light pulled the pen out of the wall before he grinned, recalling little Cameron Simpkins' smiling face before writing her name down. Again, it didn't go as planned. This time, the works crackled and the Death Note looked like it was bleeding out ink before the pen flew out of the book and cut Light across the top of his hand. "GAHH!"

That surely had never happened before. It was completely un

The pen rolled off his desk and onto the floor. What had gone wrong?! That little girl was alive and well and the book had rejected another name. "RYUK! What did you do to this book?!" He snarled, of course knowing full well the shinigami wasn't there.

He rushed out of his room to fix his hand up with some bandages before he snatched the pen back up off the floor. "All right then…" He wiped up the 'bleeding' ink from the desk and dried the Death Note off. "Fine, Kuro, you want to start messing with Death Notes? We'll see…we'll see…Ah. But right now I have to take care of my hand first."
