Okay. I was so inspired by writing the prologue that I've already written the first chapter! Yay! So now you may read it if you want...Wow...That sounded weird...Was I just giving people permission to read my fic? Oh well.

BLACK ANGEL

CHAPTER ONE: PREMATURE DEATH

Hinomi was gliding over a large heard of humans, looking for one to torture today. All of the pathetic beings seemed so happy that day, until he found the perfect human to kill.

A human female and her mate were fighting on a doorstep.

"DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU FORGOT, BITCH?!"

The male yelled, breaking a bottle on the wall and holding the sharp edges to the female's throat.

"I'm sorry…Hiro…."

The female whimpered and backed up against the wall.

"You better be sorry."

The male snarled and slashed the wimpy female with the bottle, scratching her face.

"This is just too perfect! I can kill the whimpering human girl using her mate. He seems all too eager to kill her!" Hinomi thought, pulling out his Death Note and writing the girl's name on a piece of paper.

Rinanaro Natashina

Murder

Stabbed 16 times by abusive boyfriend and left to die.

"Hmm…"

Hinomi mused, looking at the girl's lifespan.

"Looks like I'm going to be living quite a long life because of this girl."

He snickered and left the human girl to die.

Hold my hand in the dart street

Rini gasped and sputtered, trying not to breath in her own blood.

"So this is how it ends."

She said her voice weak from the loss of blood from the stab wounds.

Rini looked around the room she was in. Blood covered the walls and the knife that was used to harm her was at her side, covered in her own blood. Was Hiro trying to make this look like suicide? It didn't matter anyway. She deserved this.

Rini also noticed a phone just within arm's reach. She sighed and reached for the phone. She might as well talk to her friend one last time.

For if you do, I know that I'll be safe

L's cell phone rang a piano ballad. That meant that Rini was calling. The insomniac smiled slightly and picked up the phone.

"I wonder what Rini-chan wants."

He said to no one but himself.

L flipped the phone open and, holding between his two fingers, placed it over his ear.

"Hello, Rini."

He said, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"Hello…Zaki-kun…"

Rini's voice gave away that she was in pain and struggling to speak.

"Rini, is everything okay?"

L asked with concern in his voice. Rini's voice laughed on the other end.

"No…Everything's fine now…I was just……Calling to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?"

L asked, putting his sugar cubes into his coffee.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, nowhere important……"

Rini sighed into the telephone that was now lying beside her head. Her hands could no longer hold it.

"I might be going to hell…… but I can't be sure. Where do you think I'll go, Zaki-kun?"

L stopped what he was doing and stood.

"Rini what are you saying?"

His voice was frantic; he was worried that her boyfriend has hurt her.

"Oh, it's nothing……I just don't think I'm going to live through today…I thought that you would like to know…"

L almost dropped his coffee as he moved to leave his hotel room, still holding the phone to his ear.

"Rini, what happened?"

He asked, closing the door to the room behind him.

"I can barely remember…"

Rini's voice was getting quieter and quieter with each minute.

"Hiro was angry at me for forgetting something……He said that he had had enough of my stupidity…So he took and knife-"

L cut Rini off before she could finish her sentence.

"He stabbed you didn't he?" L accused.

L was halfway to Rini's apartment by now.

"Yeah."

Rini laughed a weak laugh.

"A couple of times."

L fought back the urge to yell at Rini for thinking that she deserved such an idiotic and brutal boyfriend.

"Rini you're going to be fine. I'm on my way."

"Oh, you didn't have to do that."

L could almost hear Rini's weak smile in her voice.

"I'll be dead in a few minutes anyway."

"No, you won't, Rini. You'll be fine."

L was jogging now, fearing that his friend would be gone in just a few moments.

"Just keep talking to me."

Rini coughed on the other end of the phone.

"I don't think I can, Zaki-kun."

Rini whispered weakly.

"I feel tired."

"Don't close your eyes, Rini!"

L yelled into the phone as her apartment came into view.

"Just keep listening to my voice and whatever you do, don't close your eyes! Don't give up, Rini!"

L's voice was frantic. He paused for a moment when he heard no response from his friend.

"Rini, are you still there?"

Silence greeted L's ears.

"Rini? Come on, don't give up!"

L's heart rate quickened. He raced up the stairs and opened Rini's apartment door.

"Rini? Rini?!"

He called his friend's name, hanging up his cell phone. The silence that hung in the room frightened him. L walked into the living room and what he saw there appalled him.

Blood coated the walls and his friend, Rini, was lying on the blood coated floor in a pool of her own blood. Red stains and holes covered Rini's clothing and blood stained her normally beautiful features. L fought back what felt like tears when he saw that Rini's blue eyes were vacant and empty.

She was dead.

L picked up his cell phone once more and dialed the number that the police had given him.

"Hello, this is L."

The filtered version of his voice talked to a receptionist.

"There's been a murder at apartment 167 in Tokyo."

"We'll send men out right now, sir."

The receptionist said in a cheery manner.

Even if I'm far away and alone

As the police came and began to collect evidence and recover Rini's body, L was still struggling to fight his tears.

"There's no identification on the body."

The words of an officer reached L's numb ears.

"Her name was Rinanaro Natashina."

L's voice was quiet and calm.

"Did you know her, sir?"

The officer asked.

"Yes."

L's voice squeaked out the word.

"She was a friend of mine."

L sighed as Rini's body was taken away in a body bag.

"I'm sorry, sir."

The cop said.

"Yes, I'm sure you are."

L sighed again and left the apartment, taking the notebook the Rini wrote her songs in with him.

"I'll inspect this myself."

He told an officer as he left.

"I might as well have something to remember her by…"

He thought, stepping out onto the pavement and leaving his friend's old home behind.

Well, I know what your thinking. She's dead, the end, right? But no! Rini shall return and find her Zaki-kun again! I promise that the ending of this will be...depressing but with a spark of happiness! I'm jazzed up on Jolley Ranchers! Okay, that's all for now!
