Rin: what was that you said about writing a lot more?

Me: you know well. You see I couldn't get onto my account so then I kinda gave up. Slightly. I'm on now though! Yay! So here's the next two chapters, the 7th is half completed as well I hope to update soon. Hope you enjoy.

Shigeru laughed along with his friends as he walked home. He waved one of them off as they headed in the opposite direction before returning to his conversation with the others and walking through the park. It wasn't until he drew level with the swings that he realised Rin was sitting on the swings. Even from the back she recognised her black hair that always seemed to glisten a little. Just as he reached the gate to the kids' playground the deathnote slammed into the metal bars of the fence creating a loud metallic clang. Shigeru felt the vibrations as he put his hand on the gate. When he turned his attention back from the book to Rin, she was gone. He looked out the field to see her jogging away.

"R-" she was too far away to hear him. He sighed and looked over at the black book. He hesitated slightly before going to pick it up. He took Rin's place on the swing and started looking through the book. In class he'd missed the first few pages but now he read through the rules

What kind of a sick joke was this? He read all of the five pages of rules and realised he ought to head home before his parents thought he had another detention. He stuffed the book in his bag and walked home briskly.

He forgot about the book for a while but was reminded when the conversations on the chat room he was on turned to Kira and L. Shigeru mad a couple of comments saying that he wasn't sure about Kira, he couldn't say he was righteous but he wasn't evil either. He pulled the slightly creased note out of the bag he'd dumped on his bed and put it on his desk. He typed a message and posted it.

Kira can kill just by knowing a name and face. We know that from L's test yesterday. What would you do if you had that sort of power?

He turned away and waited for some replies. He looked out of the window and wondered what Rin was doing. He shook his head and turned back to the screen. He received a few replies and then people started listing celebrities they thought ought to be killed and inventive ways in which that could be done. He scrolled through to find most people had replied the same. "I'm not sure", "I'd help Kira" or "I wouldn't use it, I couldn't kill people"

He thought for a moment then sent another message.

What if you thought you had the power but you weren't sure if it were real? Would you test it?

He watched the responses come in.

Hell yeah I would, I'd make the whole world bow down to me!!

Yeah, that sort of power you'd have to know.

What're you on about?

I'd use it to get tons of chocolate and cookies!!

You're a bit behind there

How would you do that?

Threaten people to give it to me

OO hands RandomGrl05 plate of cookies and backs away

Yay cookies!!

Told you it would work

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to post these on an anime chat box, these people rarely made sense. He tried once more anyway.

Say you had the power, you're going to use it, you can't help but do it. It's human curiosity. Who would you kill, how would you test it?

Once more the replies flooded in.

With Kira on the loose you could kill a criminal and the blame would be put on Kira.

What if Kira noticed?

Yeah he might kill you then

Shigeru, you're thinking into this too much

How would you know you killed them and Kira didn't give them a heart attack as well?

It's not like you, thought you were a bystander on the subject.

He quickly told them it was a school project before leaving the chat. He turned of the computer and opened up the deathnote that lay on his desk. He wondered who he could write. Writing a criminal had its risks; Kira would know and might come after him. Who else was there though? Kill someone who was dying? How could you tell the difference then?

He gave in and turned on the TV. This was all too much, how could he think about killing someone? It was wrong, he just couldn't do it. He settled down and forgot about the book as he became absorbed in his favourite programmes.
