"Hey Kidd! You promised we'd do something!"
Kidd Lelliet was sitting cross-legged on the floor. Then the character from the TV yelled something about a universe ball. The character raised his arms into the air for a power boost. When he character's arm's were raised Kidd's arms flew up high above him as well.
"Kidd? What are you doing?"
"Defeating Freeza."
"Defeating- What the hell is a Freeza?"
How did I get stuck with this human? It's been another three days since I first came to his home and nothing. My death note is going to waste! But I can't take it, he has full ownership as of right now. Can he get rid of it please? Or pass it on to someone else?
"Man, I wish I had cool powers like Goku."
"KIDD! YOU HAVE THIS! THIS NOTE BOOK WILL GIVE YOU THE POWER TO KILL PEOPLE!"
Kidd stood up and grabbed the notebook from the top of his desk. He admired it for a minute and then grabbed a pen. He flipped to a random page and wrote something down.
"Finally! So who are we going to kill first?"
Kidd held up the notebook for me to read.
"Key!? But that's my name!? Damn it I thought you read the instructions! You can't kill me like that!"
"I did read the rules, I just thought one of them was fake."
"Come on, I've been waiting forever just kill someone."
Kidd looked at me with his blue eyes, a lack of interest was apparent. He picked up his TV remote.
"My next show is on."
"Why won't you kill someone?"
He moved back to his bed and sat down looking into the screen. Why wouldn't Kidd kill anyone? Was there really no interest? How will Kira find him unless he uses his powers? How will Ryuk find me if Kidd won't kill? Why is anime so addicting? I'll miss this when I leave the human world.
"Will you not kill because you want to go to heaven or hell? Or is it you're afraid to kill?"
Kidd's eyes left the screen and looked into my big red orbs.
"Neither. It's just no one has done anything to me worth killing them for. I'm not like Kira, I assume you know who Kira is. Criminals don't come after people like me because we don't exist. I'm an otaku, I'm not noticeable by anyone, and as such I want to find something in this world that will make me different, make me like one of those anime characters I admire."
"This death note can do that?"
"This death note will make me no better than sasuke."
"… Who?"
"I mean he was cool up until the 'I will become Hokage' thing. I was all 'dude, go home you're drunk.'"
"Okay, whatever. So you're saying your whole life no one has done anything to wrong you? No one at all?"
"As an otaku I've put up with a lot of things from real people and annoying characters. Over time I've grown pretty lenient. I can sit through Boku No Pico and not gripe… the whole time anyway."
"Humans like you are so boring. At this rate you'll never kill anyone."
"Never kill anyone…"
Kidd's eyes never left the screen. Then he jumped to his feet still on his bed. He dropped to the floor and opened the notebook. He picked up the pen from earlier and began to write once more. When he was finished he sank into his chair. Things went silent, the only thing you could hear were the words of the girl on the TV. Suddenly I heard it, struggled breathing. He wasn't dying, he was crying.
"Hey Kidd don't worry, this reaction is normal to when you first kill someone. Who was it anyway?"
"I'm not crying over that. That man deserved to die. I'm crying because… HINATA TOTALLY JUST QUOTED NARUTO JUST NOW! SHE'S ABOUT TO DIE!?"
"Woah Kidd relax, it's a cartoon."
"I swear I'll find a way to kill you if you ever say that again."
"Well it's not like she's real?"
"Not like she's… what is wrong with you? She was in love with him for like 800 episodes and now she's confessing and defending him! Then she got a pole shoved into her head after defying Pain and saying all epic 'because that is my ninja way.' I mean I think it's freaking normal to cry at that!"
I stared at him; he was really holding it back. He looked like he wanted to scream. I've been here for three days and this is the first sign of emotion he's shown me. All of these feelings over a girl with a bad coat and veins by her eyes, I just don't understand. Before I could say anything the door opened to a little boy, he looked like he was maybe 11 or 12.
"Hey Kidd, I just saw it too."
What the hell?
"What is it Axis?"
Axis and Kidd? Who the hell named these kids? The one called Axis ran over to his big brother and held him.
"Let it out, it's alright."
Kidd began to cry and scream. Seriously, all this over a 2 dimensional girl? Axis pat his big brother's head.
"I know you shipped them and you're not alone."
Wait, does this sort of thing happen all the time?
"Axis I'm sorry you have to see me like this. Your big brother reduced to a teary mess."
"It's alright, it happens all the time."
"I wish they'd stop killing my favorite characters!"
I turned around and looked into my notebook at the first person Kidd ever killed. Okay, now I'm starting to regret dropping my notebook in the first place.
Adam Sandler. He sends all of his money to America's Funimation and dies watching his movies.
