"I'm home!"
Light's voice was listened by all place like echo, however there wasn't answer.
The brown haired boy was surprised, in general his mother would welcome him or her sister would come to receive him. He walked to the dining room, looking for any sign of his family, but he found a paper in the table.
When taking it Light read it. It clearly explained that his parents had left to have dinner in a restaurant while his sister will stay in the house of a friend to study. He sighed.
It wasn't common that his parents go out; nevertheless, it seemed that his father really wanted to forget the shock about L's death and in the last days he went out more often with his mother. Although it didn't bother him in absolute, having the house for him was a great relief. Also he already gets used.
With a new sigh; took one of the apples in the basket and throw it to Ryuk, he catch it immediately and without losing time began to devour.
"Well, I'm home" said solemnly. "Now, where are my answers?"
When ending the fruit the Shinigami smiled.
"Up, in your room"
Light looked at him suspicious and with a little untrust on the other hand, without saying anything; he began to walk to his room.
He felt the presence of something inside. It wasn't as if he hadn't imagined that there would be "somebody" waiting for him, that's why Ryuk had told him, however, he never planned to feel fear. How was that possible? If he when he saw for the first time the shinigami was surprised, nevertheless, didn't feel fear, you'll think the same will happen with whatever it is in his room. Although this wasn't the case.
'What's wrong with me?'He inquired without knowing the answer.
He was concerned, his hands tremble and body feel heavy as at the same time he seem not to react, why did he have so much fear? Honestly didn't know and although his mind tells him that it was a stupidity to react this way, his body seemed not to understand. He wanted to enter, to obtain answers, however, he didn't dare.
"What's wrong Light?" The shinigami spoke behind of him like he muffled a smile; his voice was low and irony.
The voice of Shinigami surprised him, for an instant he had forgotten him.
"No...Nothing" stuttered trying to recover the cool. "It's nothing, Ryuk" he said with normal tone.
"So...why don't' you enter?" inquired like a giggle came out of his lips. "...are you afraid?"
With that said, Light bothered, he'd not allow that the shinigami treated him like an idiot by no means nor he made fun of him.
"Don't be stupid, why should I?" said peacefully, a light tint of superiority adorned his voice.
"Good!"the being creaked. "Is good that you're not afraid, because...I do"
At said that, Light surprised, how is possible that a god of the death is afraid? More was the intrigues formed and the solutions were inside of this room, without being able to support more, he took the handle and when swallowing some saliva took valor to open it.
The place was dark to exception of the incoming little light for the corridor.
Light entered and without closing the door turn on the light. In less than one second his room was illuminated by the cold light of the focus showing all around. Nothing.
The brown haired observed the place trying to find something or «somebody» without success, there wasn't anything.
"What the…!" fury was the only thing he feel now and immediately turned to the other"Ryuk, what the hell is goin...!?" he didn't finish when seeing the kneeling shinigami, his head to the floor, as imploring pity.
He'll speak when the door closed abruptly and the light faded suddenly.
A dark silhouette began to be formed behind him. Light again felt the heaviness in the atmosphere like his concern and fear returned. He was turned slowly and when seeing the being he screamed as he fell to the floor.
"Yagami Light" the being said, its neuter voice without feeling. "You should not fear me, I won't harm you"
At hearing it, the fear disappeared, but the atmosphere continued the same. He tranquilized and a little while was able to get up.
"Wh...who are you?" couldn't avoid his edginess, something in that being provoked him that fear."Are you another shinigami?"
"Shinigami?" repeated."It could be said. Although we are totally different"
Light kept silent, a knot in his throat prevented him to speak.
"You know Yagami Light, you are one of the first humans who has seen me without being dead" mentioned with simplicity.
"Really?"was the only thing could say.
'Damnint!' reprehended mentally. 'What the hell it happen to me? why I feel so afraid with this being, I am Kira, the new god of...'
"God?"
The being's voice surprised him, even more for the question.
"How...?" was amazed."How did you know that?" keep silent then he continue. "Can you read my mind?"
"Of course, that and more"
The young man took a step behind; his eyes were open for the surprise.
"Who the hell are you?" he replied smoothly, little by little the fear left as slightly the furor arrived. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"Who and what am I?... Are those your concerns, human?"
Suddenly the light returned and it illuminated the place as the being in front.
Light tranquilized, with it the being could be seen and at his surprise it didn't seem as impressive as in the darkness. In fact, it seemed more humanoid.
At seeing it better, the brown haired observed as the being didn't have the same height that the shinigami, on the contrary, seemed at his same height or maybe a little higher. It was covered with a layer and a cape, hidden its face and body. Suddenly the cloths were taken away showing its true form. Light froze.
In front of him a man, his clothes was shown it wasn't outside of the common thing, the clothes could easily be as a Gothic with something dark. He has a skin jacket or black leather marking his silhouette slightly muscular, several thin belts were the decorations of the sleeves like in the chest, their hands were covered by gloves of the same material and color; he has a belt with silver skulls surrounding it as at the same time this sustained a kind of long cloth that covered part of his legs; front and behind. The pant, also of skin, several belts were in his thighs, each one had chains which were connected to a big skull which showed the beginning of a series of smaller skulls which finish at the end of the pant which seemed to melt with the immense boots, as if they were part of it; also the boots decorations have buckles to the sides.
Light blinked several times in total confusion. If he wasn't sure this being wasn't human, easily could be confused for some Gothic person, dark-metal guy or whatever. Inclusive the being had his hair in a similar style as his, although a little scruffier and of black color. However, his attention was centered in that "cloth" that covered his face, as if was a mask.
"You..." he began, no very sure of what to say. "Seriously, are you like that?" said without being able to hide his surprise and inclusive his disillusion.
"Did you hope something more?"
The boy gave a great sigh before laughing; his fear and concern disappeared completely. He went to his bed and when sitting down he returned observe the «man» without fear, like a light smile of prepotency was shown.
"Oh c'mon, YOU... a shinigami?" laughed. "Even Ryuk looks more awful and weird, inclusive Rem and she were white!" ridiculed.
Still with laugh of irony, Light could observe that the «being» possessed ears as them and the cloth allowed seeing part of the cheek, its skin was pale as L's, no, it was even more. His laugh stopped when he notice of something different; the cloth covered only his face by front, then he could see his face by the side, however that didn't happen, there was a darkness which strangely covered most of the face, as if it didn't exist.
Suddenly the man turned his «view» to him, Light saw how the «cloth» didn't move like it should be, it simply continued static.
"I see you already stop laughing" the man puffed, his voice neuter. "Indeed, I am not a shinigami, although the humans usually think of me as if I were one of them, after all solely dead ones are who can meet me"
"Who are you?" he asked again, his face now serious.
"The humans call me many ways, although it seems to please them more the name of «Grim Reaper»"
With it the youth looked perplexed.
"The grim Reaper?" he repeated as slightly raised a brow. "I believed that the shinigamis were...hmmm...that"
"No" he said simply. "As I had said before, we are two totally different beings, although I am their king"
"The king of the shinigamis?!" he said, a little confused.
"That's right"
"Now I understand why Ryuk leaned in that way" turned to see the being in the same position. "After all you're his boss" he laughed slightly. "Then, what does bring to his majesty to the world of the humans, huh? It won't be to congratulate me, after all, I help to kill more people than the own shinigamis"
An superior smile was shown in its lips.
"Human prepotency" said totally indifferent voice. "I see that you feel very sure of yourself Yagami Light, but that smile won't last a lot"
"What do you mean?" said, angry could be seen in his honey eyes.
Without answering the king walked to be positioned in front of the shinigami, which was still in the same pose.
"Get up Ryuk"
Being ignored, Light rose immediately attempted to protest, nevertheless stopped his action when seeing the concerned look of Ryuk.
"Lord,I...I haven't violated any rule, I don't know why you wanted that..." didn't finish when the king cut him the word.
"I know it very well, however, some blame relapses in you" dry voice.
"It's not my fault that Light didn't care"
"However, you threw the notebook on purpose to the human world"
"Yes, because I was boring, there's also not any rule that impedes that" he replied.
"Indeed" the king assured. "But because you did it, now the sacred rule was violated"
Light didn't understand very well what the two beings were talking.
'The sacred rule?' He thought.'What will that rule be?'
"Don't worry Yagami Light, soon you will know, because you are who broken it"
"What?!" he exalted, angry with that accusation. "What do..."
"Ryuk, for not being totally participant of this situation, I will be indulgent with you, I will only give you a light punishment"
"What?!" puffed. "But I didn't do anything!"
"You will away from this world a month in the shinigami's world without being able to see it" sanctioned.
"But, but..."
"Do you want me to increase it?" he threatened, with that the other being denied with the head. "Well, now could you tell Yagami Light, what you did not mention him?"
"Huh? ahh yes Lord" with it the other being comes closer to the boy, his face returned to his usual way. "Hey Light, what you need to know, was the reason of why the humans that had a Death Note were always unhappy"
The boy didn't say anything, his face was serious and with a little anger.
'Stupid shinigami!' he thought annoyed 'I already know it; you don't have to repeat it as if I were an idiot'
"Is their nature Yagami Light, you should have more patience with those no as clever as you"
The king mentioned, with it the man bothered even more.
"Stop reading my mind!" he grunted, as furious looks were thrown to him.
"You are not in position of telling me what I should stop to do, human" with that Light was about reproach without success. "Ryuk"
"Ah yes!..." the shinigami hadn't understood what happened very well, he ignore it and continue with his explanation. "Well Light, what happens is that when a human has a Death Note in his possession and begins to use it; their happier memories are erased, only leaving the sad ones and the less important"
"Their happier memories?" the boy repeated, now his anger had been changed by curiosity. "How?"
"Yes, it's supposed that Death Note is an object for the shinigamis which don't have memories neither feelings, so it doesn't affect us at all, however, with a human it's totally different" he kept silent at seeing how Light analyzed what he said, understanding it. "The humans contrary to the shinigamis have memories, the sad ones as the happy; they're governed by feelings which are bound to their wickedness and kindness"
"What?...don't tell me that really exist your evil part and good" he replied with dislike.
"Something like that, only that it isn't based as the humans believe, it's more complex" he responded peacefully. "But that doesn't correspond me to tell you... what happen to the human beings when they obtaining it, is that their wickedness is increased, since they obtain an object to kill, the death for you all is more important than us and the knowledge that they can kill to pleasure it's as a joy for them, makes them feel powerful, important and inclusive they feel gods"
When said that, the boy gives him an intense look, nevertheless he doesn't say anything.
"Hehehe...the humans are easily filled with negative feelings and also their wickedness increases, even more when they believe that there's not a price to pay" he laughed.
"Then the price... are their memories?" puffed with reluctance. "Lose the memories of your happy moments aren't something very important, which is the problem if you lose them? You can make more"
Ryuk on the contrary laughed even more.
"I knew you'd say that, you're not the only Light, all of them say the same thing and they give up even this way their Death Note" he gives a great smile, which attracted more intense looks from the boy. "The humans cannot live without happiness, they spends all their life looking for it, in one or another way, no human being wants to live in the misfortune and the sadness, for that reason they yearns it so intensely"
"Only the weaker are those that cannot live without it"
The shinigami smiled again.
'Hehehehe Light is quite interesting, he denies what he also search, hehehe humans are amusing'
"Hehehehe, is amusing how everybody say the same thing" he remarked, with it Light bothered again. "Anyway, when they lost their happy memories, the humans don't know how it feels the happiness and the only thing that can create is more sadness"
Light stunned, suddenly a memory arrived to his mind.
-...I love you; I couldn't live without you...-
His voice again was listened in his head like he saw him hugging somebody, the scene was blurred and couldn't distinguish who it was, suddenly he kisses that person.
The image was shown time and again, while his voice made echo. Light was confused and in shock.
'Who it is?...where is that place?...why does it burn my chest when seeing it?'
His interrogation began; soon he felt as his legs couldn't support him any more to fall kneeling, his hand grabbed his shirt firmly, as its eyes opened up the more than they could. A solitary tear traveled by his right cheek. When feeling it, he passed his hand feeling the fresh liquid in the clear skin.
Without saying anything, he sees them with a directed and confused look.
"What you've just felt is what made many to leave the Death Note" Ryuk responded. "The happiest moments in your life will never be able to remember them, it doesn't matter how much you effort, however, from time to time you will be able to remember something and the pain that you feel, it's because your soul yearns to feel it, it's an unbearable pain and until you don't give up the notebook diffuse memories will be hunting you day and night, until death" he gave a wide smile. "And that all, anybody is able to support it, hehehe"
"Very well Ryuk, now you can leave" the king order like he took some steps to where be kneeling the brown-haired boy.
"Yes Lord, bye Light, we'll see each other in a month, I'll wait with longings to see what novelties are by that time, good luck!" said that, the shinigami lifted flight and disappeared of the room.
"Well Yagami Light, it is time of talking about «the sacred rule»"
The young man lifted his look; full with several contrary feelings, to center it in that covered face, again the sensation of fear filled him...
