Author's Note: Second Chapter.

Carley-Carley-Carley: haha that is totally going to happen it's a beautiful thought

Guest: Qwerty: Don't you worry I will see through to this til' the very end. :)

"Mommy I'm home!" Light had ridden the bus home just like every other day. This time the ride seemed to drag on for such a long time. Probably because he couldn't wait to show his mom what he had found. Saichiko was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"Mommy look what I found at school! I think it says 'Death Note'. It's a book!"
"That's lovely dear, but you shouldn't be reading about death right now. Maybe when you're older."
"But Mom, death is going to happen no matter what I know about it. It's better to know as much as possible."
"Aright honey. Why don't you go figure out what it says in your room. Mommy's a bit busy right now."
As Light trudged upstairs he was sure he heard his mother mutter something about 'damned gifted kids being a hassle'.

It had been a couple of hours through which Light had done his homework, not wanting to annoy himself with trying to read the notebook. He had resolved that he'd show it to his favourite teacher. She'd been helping him develop better reading skills.

"Lighty! Dinner!" Light looked up from where he was sprawled on his bedroom floor with a puzzle. His two year old sister, Sayu, was now dancing around in his room yelling those two words over and over to a tune that was not of this world.
"Okay thanks Sayu. I'm coming."
"Okay Lighty!" she said and promptly began to slide down the stairs back to the kitchen. Light carefully stepped over his jigsaw and followed her.

"So Light, How was school today?" their father asked over dinner.
"It was great! I found a cool book called 'Death Note'. I'm gonna get Ms. R to help me read it tomorrow!"
"That sounds wonderful Light. Where did you find this book of yours?"
"It fell from the sky!"
"I'm sure it did Light, I'm sure it did." His dad didn't sound like he believed him but that was okay. His father intimidated him and he didn't want to press the matter.

"So what has Sayu been doing hmm." His father ruffled Sayu's hair, which now had random pieces of broccoli in it. The conversation turned to other things and Light silently ate his dinner, thinking about all the possibilities the book could hold.

After dinner Light had helped his mom carry the dishes to the sink and the family watched a movie.

*** The Next Day ***

During recess, Light went to the secondary school wing. Ms. R was actually a high school philosophy teacher but he had her as a teacher for the month he spent in grade 1 before it too became too easy. During that month the real teacher was in the hospital with a concussion and Ms. R was substituting. What little Light could read was with the help of Ms. R. She had offered him more help if he ever needed it. Now was a good time to take up her offer considering he finally had a productive reason to have good reading skills. At the same time, Ms. R kind of scared him. She was extremely intelligent and could basically see through everything but at the same time she had, er, strange habits. She scared everyone. Regardless, he knocked on the empty classroom he knew she's be in.
"Light! Hello. Come on in. What brings you to my classroom" She said, moving from where she had been slouching in the doorway. She was wearing a white blouse with a long floral skirt and her hair was in a loose bun with tendrils sticking out. Light shuffled in and awkwardly wrung his hands. He didn't know whether to be nervous or excited about this encounter.
"I..uhm…was wondering if you could still help me with the reading thing." Light managed to mumble, scratching the back of his head. Ms. R's skirt swished as she moved to sit on her desk and cross her legs. She cocked her head to the side, the tendrils somehow managed to not get in her eyes.

"And what finally inspired you to decide to learn how to read." Light perked up at this. He was wondering how to bring the death note up but it seems she had that covered. Without saying a word Light began ruffling through his backpack. He found the death note nestled between some notebooks. He proudly held it up to her face.
"This!"
"This seems interesting." Ms. R said as she put on reading glasses that were around her neck.

"It's says Death Note! But that's all I could read so far." Exclaimed Light, somehow managing to be loud and sound sheepish at the same time. He watched as Ms. R opened it to the first page and her expression changed from curious to a face one could only pull if they had seen a parody of death itself. She looked horrified…but also intrigued.

"Light. Where did you find this?"
"It fell from the sky! What does it say? What does it say?" Light was way too excited to care about manners and maturity. The grand moment was finally here.

"The human who's name is written in this note shall die."

They stared at each other.
