EDIT: Updated ^^ I also added another reply to a review that I had gotten since I originally posted this chapter ^^

Welcome back my lovely readers! /cheesiness. Oh shoot me. Not actually, that'd kind of suck. ANYWAY, I updated! Obviously. This chapter is kind of abrupt but Ku is rather blunt anyway. And a little stupid. But lovable.

REPLIES TO REVIEWS:

No one you need to know: YAY FIRST REVIEWER. Even if you are anonomys. I totally messed the spelling of that up x-x Anyway, thanks for the compliment!

WestAnimeBrigade: Thanks for reviewing! I hope you like the idea of the explanation - besides the fact that it confused even me. I'd like to think its original, so hopefully it is! And there will be couples, later on into the story. You just wont know who with until it happens :P

MaoIsSleepy: Uwa thank you for that *w* With calling herself E, that is basically a mockery of L in her own way. Also, her habits (while strangely similar to L and Near now that I thin about it) are things I legitimately do, and since she's based off on me... well, she gets strange habits too XD Thanks for defending my character by the way! VIRTUAL COOKIE~

Disclaimer: Too lazy. So, check the last chapter. Hmph.

ONWARD!

I stood there in shock, my eye widened. A Death Note? No… no it wasn't possible. Most likely a joke, though how on earth they managed to drop it from the sky is beyond me. Shaking my head in slight amusement, I hesitated before picking the book up lightly in my hands.

The cover was smooth and cold to the touch. The pages were blank and if I hadn't known better, I would've thought they were made of parchment. It looks nearly identical to the note in the anime and manga. Someone must have put a lot of effort in this.

"I wonder who it belongs to…" I murmured curiously, lightly flipping the pages back. They even had the rules in the back – all of them. Even the hand-writing looked the same. Yes, a talented person must have created this.

Suddenly, I heard a cough behind me. Immediately, I spun around, slipping on the slightly damp grass and ending up on my butt. I winced before my eye snapped up to whoever had made the sound and merely blinked.

The figure was tall, at least seven feet, its skin a dark grey color. Its eyes were a vivid yellow with slits like a snake. Its mouth was large and filled with jagged, pointed teeth. It was scarily thin and had two leathery wings protruding from slits in its back, the same color as its skin. The creature's clothes consisted of a gothic-esque ensemble, and finally, it had snowy white hair.

I was looking at none other than a Shinigami.

"WAAAH!" I yelped, the sound nearly strangled in my throat as I quickly scooched backwards. I had lost it! I had finally cracked under all my stress and lost it, leaving with me unstable and hallucinating. It was the only possible explanation, because Shinigami didn't exist.

"Ohhoho, someone seems shocked to see me." The reaper chortled, sounding teasing, but not hostile. Its voice was actually rather nice – deep an slightly nasally; it reminded me of Deidara's voice from Naruto. I nodded stiffly, still rapping my head around the fact that I had gone insane. I knew I was never entirely sane, but not crazy. No, just different. But now I was obviously off my rocker.

"You're not crazy." The Shinigami said and I could swear it was smirking at me. Wait… did it – he, whichever, just read my mind?

"Oh, no, you're saying all of that out loud." It informed me, amusement lacing each and every word.

"That makes slightly more sense." I replied blankly, finally having regained use of my vocal chords. "And what exactly is going on?" I questioned, biting the nail of my thumb and staring at the creature intently. It was likely that it was still a hallucination, yet there was still a miniscule chance that this could actually be happening, and even then it was almost completely impossible. Still, it was best to further look into this.

The Shinigami seemed slightly taken aback by my sudden attitude change. Well, I wasn't always a bumbling idiot. Hopefully, I rarely was. If I wasn't, that'd suck.

"Well, it's rather complicated. To begin, I am Ku." He, Ku, began.

"Ku?" I questioned, my lips twitching. Ku nodded.

"Yes, Ku. "To start explaining, there are various… 'worlds,' I guess. There's this world, then also ones with chakra like the 'Naruto' world and the ones with a high crime rate, the 'Death Note' world. I couldn't tell you why your world knows about the others through stories – all of the worlds are as old as the others." Ku said with a shake of his head, his white hair flipping against his face. He didn't seem to care about that though.

"Go on." I prodded, still working on keeping my face expressionless until I figured out how the hell I was supposed to be reacting to this. I mean, honestly, what would an obsessive Death Note fan do when a Shinigami named Ku appeared out of nowhere? Either faint, scream, or glomp the Shinigami. I found each of those to be obnoxious, so I'm going to pretend I'm L and observe. For the time being that is.

"Yes, well, Shinigami are in charge of the deaths of every world, not just the 'Death Note' world. It's actually not called that, that world is called Sector 4, but that's not important. I generally kill humans in Sector 4 – most Shinigami actually have a certain Sector they do their job in. On a whim, I visited here, and figured out about the whole Death Note manga business, and decided I was going to screw everything up." The Shinigami stated, sounding smug at his "Brilliance."

"…Why?"

"Well, I was bored. So I went back to the Shinigami Realm and poked around the King's old scrolls, and figured out that if you give the King's note to a human, a bunch of weird stuff happens. So I stol- erm, borrowed the King's note, and decided I was going to give it to you and transport you into Sector 4 to bother Rem." Ku finished proudly. I could feel my eyebrow twitching.

"So, you suddenly decided to give me the Shinigami king's STOLEN Death Note, to annoy Rem for who knows what reason, and are now telling me you're going to TELEPORT me to a FICTIONAL WORLD." I clarified through clenched teeth.

"Yep!" The Shinigami said arms crossed and an essence of arrogance surrounding him. I facepalmed.

"You're an idiot." I deadpanned. A scowl was turned my way which I grinned at, before sobering up. "But honestly, why on earth did you choose me for this… randomness?" I swore this was like a plotless fanfiction. There's no good reason to suddenly teleport someone! It just didn't happen! And why could I see him if it wasn't his Death Note?

"Your smart." Ku answered without hesitation. I gave him a look which he didn't even seem to notice, momentarily forgetting my observation.

"Thank you?" My reply sounded as if it was a question, which in a way it was. The cliché-ness of the whole charade was overwhelming. Maybe I really was crazy.

"Welcome! Now, LETS GO!" Ku yelled, sounding like… well, like Naruto when he wanted ramen. Yeesh, talk about an addiction.

…shut up. My arm was immediately grabbed by the freakishly excited reaper and I blanched.

"Wait, hold o–" I said in a slightly panicked voice. Apparently I was ignored, because seconds later everything went completely and utterly black.

AHAHHAHAHAHHAA. Yes, crazy laugh. I love Ku, is that wierd? He's like a freaking puppy. A shinigami puppy. Ohhoho. Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter! Next time on ELLA, Ella finds herself in... the DEATH NOTE WORLD. Or technically Sector 4 ^w^ MWAHAHHAHAHAHA.

Song of the chapter: Mockingbird by Eminem. Because I'm listening to it now.
