Mora stands staring at the notebook on her bed. "What should I do with this?" she whispers out loud to herself. I mean if I try to use it and it is fake, no harm done ... but if it is real ... She stops herself. What am I thinking, of course it isn't real?
Her thoughts are interrupted by a knock on her door. Mora swiftly slips the notebook back into her bag, and places it on the floor on the far side of her bed before answering the door. Her mother stands on the other side. "Oh good, you are home." Elaine says with a cheerful smile. "Listen hun, you're going to have the house to yourself tonight. Your father wants to take me out for out anniversary." Shit I forgot. Elaine continues "You don't mind getting something for dinner for yourself, do you? I left some money for take-out on the counter for you." "Of course, I don't mind Mom, I hope you guys have a wonderful time." Mora assures her. Elaine walks down the stairs to get ready for the night ahead, and Mora closes her door quietly. I'll wait until they leave before I make any decisions on what to do with the notebook.
Mora has just finished her meal, her parents should not be home for a few more hours at the least. So she heads to her room and pulls the notebook from her bag. She opens to cover to continue reading the rules of the notebook.
1. The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
2. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
3. If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
4. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
5. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
Simply die of a heart attack? But that, that is how Kira killed. Does that mean, this is real? What am I going to do? I know this is bad, I mean Kira was trying to do something good, but in a horrible way, right? I obviously can't use this. If I did, I would be …
"I can't take any more of this. I don't care that she hasn't used the thing yet. This is not the right person, she is too torn between what is right and wrong." Light yells angrily from the Shinigami world. "Just you watch Ryuk. I am going now. I am going to finish what I started. That world has gone to complete chaos since Kira died." "Oh, I will be watching Light. You can count on that." Ryuk begins to laugh as Light jumps down into the Human world.
Mora is sitting on her bed holding the deathnote tightly. Doubt fills her mind. She feels so lost. Suddenly as if everything she was feeling exploded from inside her out into the world. The atmosphere around her changes, paired with a chill down her spine, it feels like the temperature has dropped 20 degrees. Out of the corner of her eye she sees something standing between her bed and dresser. She turns towards it to see a giant skeletal creature standing in her bedroom. Mora lets out a small scream and falls out of her bed on to the floor. Terrified, she can barely make a sound. And then it speaks. "Don't bother screaming." The creature says. "W-who w-w-what are you?" Mora stutters out her question. "Stop acting so scared girl, I am not going to hurt you. I am the original owner of that Deathnote you are holding. A Shinigami." It tells her. "A Shinigami?" Mora questions. "What is a Shinigami?" "A God of Death." The creature tells her annoyed by her ignorance. His annoyance doesn't go unnoticed. "What did you expect me to know that already? I have never heard of a Shinigami before." Mora starting to feel a little braver tells him. "Do you have a name?" She asks the Shinigami. "I am not here to tell you my name. I am here to get my deathnote back." He tells her. "What? Why?" Mora is surprised. "I would think that, there was a reason it was here?" "Oh, there is, but you see, it was picked up by the wrong person. I can see the doubt on your face. You cannot do what needs to be done." His words are like liquid fire that lap Mora's patience. "The wrong person, huh? I don't think I have been given enough time to prove anything yet. And what exactly needs to be done?" "I am surprised that you even need to ask that question. But I will entertain you, and when we are done you can return my notebook to me and it can end." The Shinigami continues to tell Mora, "You see, I have been watching the human world crumble and decay with the death of Kira. I am here to restore the new world order that Kira provided ten years ago." An evil smirk spreads across his face. Who is this Shinigami. "I want nothing more than to rid this world of evil." He says simply. "But what, or how does it really effect you? I mean, you are from a different world." Mora asks, she is puzzled by why he cares. "My reasons are my own." He states, shutting her question down. But Mora doesn't back down. If I want this, I can't act like I can't handle it. I can't take no for an answer. "No, they aren't. Your reasons, are for me to know. If I am to do this for you. I want to know why." "Brave, ok fine, I have a very personal connection to Kira. And I want to see his visions come true." Says the Shinigami. Mora doesn't understand. A personal connection, what does that mean? "What were you Kira's Shinigami?" Mora asks thinking that had to it. "Close, but no I wasn't. I was Kira." His evil smirk returns. Mora feels that she can't breathe. The voice in her head is screaming. He WAS Kira. And wants someone to restore Kira's world order. Should this happen? Should I be the one to do this?
"I can see the wheels in your head are turning. Please share your thoughts." The Shinigami who claims he was Kira brings Mora back to the now. "I guess I am just trying to process what you just told me. If you are, or were Kira, why come here? Can't you just do this from the Shinigami world?" Mora knows she has a terrified expression on her face but she really can't help it at this point. If he really is Kira, what I say and do could determine if I get to live past this point. "Well, I guess I could of. But writing names in my Deathnote," he motions to a notebook attached to his hip. "from the shinigami world, all that really does is extend my life as a Shinigami. But if I come down here and do it with the help of a human, well it would just be more exciting." EXCITING?! His answer makes Mora mad. He wants to turn someone else into a serial killer as well for fun? And yet, for some reason. I want it to be me. I want this power. I want him to stay and teach me how to be Kira. "Let's say I decide to do this …" He quickly cuts her off. "Let's say I decide you can do this." He corrects her. "I don't see why you would tell me all of this if you weren't at least considering me." He can hear that she is offended but simply responds with, "I told you, I would explain, and then take my deathnote back. If you can remember correctly?" "Well I don't want to give it back." She is half shouting at him. "Well I don't have to wait for you to give it to me. I can just take it from you. Unless of course you write a name in it. Only then will its ownership be passed on to you." He points to the tv. "Go on then." Mora walks over and turns it on. The news is on and they are reporting on a story about a man holding up a bank. This is too similar to his first kill. The reporter is saying something about how many hostages he had inside, and suddenly his identity is on screen. "Well, you have a choice to make right now. If you really want this, write his name and kill him." Kira's voice sends shivers down her spine, but also set a fire in the stomach. And before she realizes what she is truly doing, she starts to write down his name, watching the screen the whole time.
After 40 seconds pass, hostages begin running out of the building. The reporter comes back on air saying that he collapsed suddenly and died. "I didn't think you had it in you." She hears the voice of Kira behind her. Mora turns to face him, and she looks at him. His intentions are very clear to her now. "Kira, the crime of both our first killings. I am surprised at how alike they are." It is all Mora can think to say, "That isn't true, my dear, that was not my first killing. That is just the first one the police knew about. And you can call me Light." Then he adds, "I am a bit surprised that you know that about Kira." "Well I guess I should admit it then. I am kind of a fan." Mora smirk at him. "And what shall I call you?" Light asks her. "My name is Mora."
"Well then, where should we ..." Mora begins but Light quickly cuts her off. "There is one thing we must do first, that I must do."
I wonder what that is …
