[Kitty: Woo! New chapter! u I can't tell if it took awhile to update or not but school has started up again so I might not be able to write as much. I'LL DO MY BEST THOUGH! I just want to say that the name Alaric is Germania. Just in case you would be confused ^u^]

Ivan sat down at his desk and looked expectantly around the class room, no Alfred. He smirked and thought to himself, 'I wonder if I could make this school better like Light made the world better… No one seems that sad that Alfred is gone!"

He pulled the notebook out from between two other books and looked around. Rumors had already started about Alfred's absence.

"Is Alfred just late? His father would kill him if he skipped!" he heard a voice whisper.

"I heard from someone that they saw him at a party and he passed out pretty hard. They had to call an ambulance and everything!" another voice responded.

Ivan smirked, 'So he didn't even get to fully enjoy a party da?' he chuckled darkly.

"Ivan-san? Are you okay?" A voice to his left spoke up. Ivan turned his head and his friend Kiku was staring worriedly at him, "I-I didn't know you'd be that upset that Alfred-san was gone."

Ivan tilted his head and considered that his kill-happy chuckles could be mistaken for heartfelt sobs. He shook his head; "Kiku, I'm fine da?" he smiled.

Kiku smiled gently back at him and shrugged, "If you say so…" the bell rang and their teacher popped in. Ironically, their teacher was also the vice principal, Alaric. He looked solemnly at the class, "I'm afraid to announce that the student, Alfred F. Jones, died last night of a heart attack." The whole classroom gasped; Alaric continued, "The doctors believe it was his high intake of hamburgers that killed him." He finished.

Ivan smiled hugely, 'What a break! The death wasn't mysterious so no one could suspect me da?' he thought.

Alaric sighed, "Let's just get on with the class," he said grumply.

[* * *]

After four classes, Ivan could finally go to lunch; unfortunately, another fight had broken out between his friend kiku, Kiku's 'friend' Hercules, and the annoying Turkish boy Sadiq. A crowd of other classmates surrounded the three.

"Kiku will sit with me during lunch!" Sadiq yelled and pulled on Kiku's sleeve away from Hercules.

"But I heard Kiku say he wanted to sit with me…" Hercules countered and pulled back.

Kiku looked distressed in the middle of the fighting boys, "Can't we all sit together Hercules-san? Sadiq-san?" he asked quietly.

Sadiq growled, "I'm not sitting next to that cat magnet!" he screamed.

This always made Ivan mad, 'Hercules is a good guy da? But Sadiq just hates him.' He thought angrily. A little voice popped into his head, 'You brought it with you, you can just kill him and your life will be happier!' it spoke. Ivan realized it was right. He pulled the little notebook out of the secret pocked he had inside his coat and pulled the pen out as well. He flipped to the first page and looked around; no one was watching him. Ivan scribbled madly underneath Alfred's name and looked to see what he wrote.

'Sadiq Adnan.' The paper said back to him. Ivan smirked and watched the fighting boys. "Any second now…" he mumbled to himself.

About a minute later, Sadiq dropped to his knees and his hands flew to his neck; foam started dripping out of his mouth. The crowd screamed and backed away from the dying boy. Sadiq fell onto his side and his mask fell off. His chestnut eyes widened and suddenly; he was still. Hercules held Kiku protectively in case he was faking.

A boy with blonde-brown hair came sprinting from the crowd and bumped blindly into Ivan, which caused him to drop the Death Note. The boy stopped dead and stuttered, "I-I'm so sorry Ivan!" he picked it up and gave it back to him.

Ivan snatched it back and smiled, "It's okay da? Matthew was just getting the nurse!" The boy, Matthew, nodded and sprinted away.

A startled cry interrupted the crowd's silence, "Sadiq-san is dead!" Kiku yelled. Hercules kneeled down and put his hands on Kiku's shoulders, "It's okay," he mumbled.

Ivan suddenly felt sick. He covered his mouth and couldn't stand to watch his friend be so upset. He turned and ran quickly to the bathroom; he burst through the doors to find it deserted. The feeling of nausea faded slowly as he held his head over the sink, "Was that guilt?" he mumbled to himself, "I don't like that…" He turned on the cold water and splashed his face a couple of times. He lifted his head to looking in the mirror and noticed a large, winged creature standing next to him. Ivan's eyes widened and he dashed away from the creature. He stopped by the door and turned around when he heard the creature say something in English.

'What does this thing want from me? I don't even know any English except for…' he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pen.

"This is a pen!" He told the creature in English.

"Nani baka…" it mumbled. "I know what a pen is…" it said in Japanese.

"Oh, you do speak Japanese!" Ivan exclaimed, "Wh-What are you? Or, who are you?" Ivan asked.

The creature chuckled, "You don't seem as startled as the last human I met. My name is Ryuk and I am a Shinigami." Ryuk explained to Ivan.

Ivan blinked and his eyes widened a little more, "Sh-Shinigami? My friend Kiku told me about them once. A god of death da?"

Ryuk nodded, "Yes," Ivan calmed down and smiled a little, "Then I assume you want your notebook back," he pulled it out of his pocket again and held it out to the Shinigami.

Ryuk shook his head and pushed it back towards Ivan, "No. It's yours human. I am only here to watch." He told him.

Ivan tilted his head, "Watch?" he asked.

Ryuk nodded, "Yes, you seem to like to have the power to kill people, I assume you've only felt guilt a few times huh?"

Ivan thought and nodded, "I thought people would be happy that Sadiq was dead." Ryuk took a few steps towards Ivan, "You'll get used to it kid." Ivan smiled, "Who was the last human you met?" he randomly asked Ryuk.

Ryuk chuckled darkly, "In due time, Ivan."
