Heya. Just want you to know that I dunno how often I'll be posting. I can't tell you how excited I am about this story. I plan on keeping it going for quite awhile. Anyway, I hope you guys have as much fun reading as I did writing. I don't own Death Note.
Fuck, I forgot about Sayu's manga... I guess I'll have to pick it up tomorrow.
By the time me and Light got home, it was already dinner time. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of an appetite, so I decided to go straight to my room. I was exhausted. Too much had happened in such little time. I needed a break... Just then, my cell phone started to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket, sat on bed, and answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Shin."
Oh god... "Hey there, Sakumi."
"I was wondering how you've been. I haven't seen you in quite some time..."
"Now isn't a good time. I'm busy applying for jobs..."
"Oh okay. I'll talk to you later then."
"Bye." I ended the call.
Sakumi was my only friend in high school. She was always worried about me, but never really seemed to bother me so much about it. I'm glad she doesn't bug me every two seconds like real friends do. Well... that's not always true. Anyway, I'm grateful for her.
Now, seriously, this Death Note situation. The fact that it can kill just with a name and a face kinda crushes my sense of reality. I guess the best thing to do is just go with it. I mean, shit, Light's already killed two people. My question is why. What reason does Light have for killing anybody? I'll ask him later.
As if to answer my question, Light walked into our room. "Alright, time to get down to business."
"How did you get a Death Note?" Seriously! Does everyone get one of these!?
"It fell out of the sky and I picked it up. Simple as that." I hate how he says it like it's not such a big deal. "And you?"
"It fell in front of me at the park," I sighed. Things will start making sense any second now... Oh who am I kidding? A notebook that kills people? It won't ever make any sense.
"This doesn't make any sense..." Yeah, no shit, Light. "It has to be a coincidence, right?"
"Light, if you have no idea what the hell's going on, then what makes you think I do?" Our minds were nearly identical in intellect. He can be so clueless sometimes...
"Well, it's obvious that you won't cooperate, so..."
"Its not that. It's just, I know about as much as you do about this Death Note..."
"That's why we should work together to figure out its mysteries." He picked up a pen, pulled up something on his computer, and began writing in his Death Note.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing!?" Yeah it's true that we need to unravel this pretzel, but is he seriously using the Death Note again?
"This world is full of rotten people... Too many people who do bad things without getting punished... It sickens me..." He's right... There are a lot of bad people in this world... People like the ones that bullied me out of high school...
...People who deserve to die...
"Count me in, Light! Your incentive may be justice, but mine is revenge. I'm gonna make the world pay for ruining my life!" I shot up in anger. This is my chance to show them who's powerless now!
"Excellent..." Light gave me the look of satisfaction as if we had the world under our thumb.
Which we did. The world was ours now.
"The world will cower at our feet. We'll become gods!" I laughed in a maniacal way. Okay, so I was enjoying this far more than I should, but in my defense, I'm getting to do something that I failed to a year ago. I could feel the rage coursing through my veins. I felt more alive now than ever before.
"Relax, Shin. You haven't even written a name down yet." Light chuckled.
"Huh?" Oh shit. I'll be actually killing people... Ah fuck it! I'm in too deep to turn back now.
I quickly pulled out my Death Note and wrote down the first name that came to mind.
Toshiki Inukai. The bastard whose teeth have my name on them.
Afterwards, I slammed the notebook shut. "There..."
"Good job. If you ever doubt yourself, think about the guys that bullied you and what people like them are doing to others." Light smiled reassuringly.
"Right..." Okay, so he's not THAT bad at being abrother, but if he thinks that I'm doing this for him, he's sorely mistaken.
No... This was personal. I wouldn't let anyone or anything stand in my way... Even him...
Even if it meant I had to kill Light in the end, I would keep my solemn oath to rid this world of evil.
Even if I had to do it with my bare hands...
