Heretic say at a white kitchen table with his black notebook opened before him with him holding a sharpened number two yellow-orange pencil in his hand while starting at a page with one

name and cause of death listed. He stared at the page with a from upon his lips. Dara leaned against the side of Heretic's black refrigerator and asked while raising an eyebrow, "You are not going to do it are you? Having second thoughts?"

He narrowed his eyes and said looking over to his shinigami saying, "Don't think I'm not willing to do it. I am wondering if I can find a way to use Light to get L, after all, he does work with him. If L is as intelligent as I believe, he wouldn't even trust his name to anyone, and if I write something he can't do Light will simply die from a heart attack."

Dara smirked and stepped to Heretic's side and whispered, "Your afraid of failure. You think this is the closest you will ever get to L, and that if you do not get him now, L will beat you in the end. If that happens all that will be proven is your nothing compared to…"

Heretic slammed his pencil's side against the table and stood up with fierce eyes full of anger, hatred, and the essence of all evil emotions gathered burning from his eyes ,then moved nearly nose to nose with the shinigami. Heretic snapped at Dara, "I fear nothing, and I can find a way to beat him without having a way to do it though Light. Don't doubt me, or I'll prove you wrong just like I had with so many others!"

Dara reached her metallic hand between two white ribbons near her waist and slipped out a pink not book, and pen saying, "Don't think that black death note is my only one. I wold not hesitate in killing you if I so please."

Heretic stepped back and said after taking a deep breath, "Sorry about loosing my cool. Dara, I have thought up a plan, all you need to do is sit back and watch."

The shinigami watched Heretic's eyes for a moment, then said after she seemed satisfied with whatever she saw, "Then do whatever you plan to do, show me how great you can be." She once again put the notebook and pen up before walking over to the kitchen's wall leaning against it.

Heretic turned toward his bedroom and entered while followed by Dara. He stepped over to his desk, which was covered with many notebooks of different colors, and placed them in organized stacks onto his bed. The shinigami frowned asking, "What are you doing?"

Heretic grinned while opening a desk shelf revealing a laptop saying, "It's all about information, and anything there is to know is on the internet ready for anyone to access. Aside from that… I am curious as to what the public thinks about my challenge to their god, Kira."

Before long Heretic had his laptop set up, an extra notebook opened to a clean sheet and a pencil as he began an extensive study on who Light Yagami was, his family, schools attended, GPA, and his school ranking within each school, and compiled it together with what he remembered Gloria telling him in the past about a "super genius" Light, who seemed unable to do any wrong. After he practically had a biography on Light, he studied what people thought about Kira, and jolted down notes as he went.

Last, he looked up Heretic and frowned at what he saw. The public seemed to believe "Heretic" was one made up by the police to scare Kira. Heretic muttered, "I'll show them how real I can be…."
