Kiseki

I sit there and stare at the crisp white pages of that dark black notebook. It's been nearly 5 years since that night. The night I nearly died. The night I met Yuik. That stupid shinigami.

"Ura, you seem troubled lately. Did somebody get a 99 again on a test?"

I spin around in my chair and launch the pencil straight through his head. His voice sounds like a teenage boy, but his appearance is revolting. He stands 7 feet tall, looks like a giant voodoo doll of a blond boy with green eyes. Except one of his are red.

"I haven't gotten a 99 on a test since I was 14, and that was a 3 years ago mind you. I am the smartest person in the Kanto region considering the fact that I graduated university at 17. I am now a private detective for the NPA and only a select few know of it. Others think I am a clumsy intern who is too stupid to possibly even graduate high school."

I spin back around and pull my hair up into a bun.

"Yuik, I have a question."

"I don't want to get you another tea Ura. I'm too tired."

I hear him plop down onto my bed and feign tiredness. Though we both know that it is impossible for a shinigami to tire out.

"It's not that you insolent oaf. I was wondering if there are any other shinigami in the city. Any other Death Notes. I've read through the case files about this from work, prisoners are dying so dramatically all over the world and I have nothing to do with this. I have also hacked into the ICPO database and it seems that a man is coming to the meeting tomorrow. I can get into the main server and tap the center from my desk at the office."

Before I can continue, Yuik cuts me off.

"Have I ever told you that you talk too much? But there shouldn't be any others in the city. No shinigami is stupid enough to drop a notebook unless they… Damn Ryuk, you sure fooled them."

I sigh and close the notebook, along with the case files. I never ask Yuik what he's talking about because it never makes any sense. I just decide to slip off my jeans and get some sleep.

"I am L."

My eyes widen, L? This must be something big if he's trying to get in on the case. I turn up the volume on my computer and try to trace the call. It only takes a few minutes before I am stalled by a firewall. Shit.

"From what you say Ura, he's pretty smart, that L guy."

I sigh and try to ignore Yuik and his ramblings. They only proceed to irritate me. I try to hack into the firewall's server, but before I could do it my computer shuts off. Wait a minute, why is this off? I look at the computer but find nothing wrong with it and sigh.

"Yuik, what am I going to do?"

"You could always make the deal Ura. It's been 2 years now since your parents died. And I know you've been thinking about it. Your clock is ticking Ura, and I know you want to find the other note holder."

Maybe he's right Urameshi. Your parents died two years ago and now there's another note holder in Kanto.

"How much time do I have left Yuik?"

He makes that face that he always does when I ask. He never liked that question; he also never answered it before.

"You were supposed to die at 12; I think 7 extra years is a good bit. But, you know a shinigami isn't supposed to tell how much time is left."

I spin around in my chair to look straight at him. Of course he never answers me. I sigh and rub my temples before getting my bag and heading towards the entrance to the NPA building. Before I get there I throw my hair up in a messy ponytail and put on a pair of glasses and some heels as opposed to the flats I was wearing.

"Are you going home already Miss Hime?"

I turn around and face the security guard.

"Y-Yeah, it's time ta feed my cat. Rin doesn't like bein' left alone too too long."

I let out a small giggle and smile at him. I can tell he's eyeing me, but I pretend not to see it. After all, I am just the intern. He smiles and waves goodbye as I head back out the door and walk towards my apartment a few blocks away.

I take off my glasses and let down my ponytail as I walk away from the building. Everybody is so stupid. I sigh and turn the corner onto 7th avenue. Yuik's been awfully quiet since we left.

"Yuik, you usually aren't this quiet, anything troubling you? Although it is none of my concern nor do I care too much. But it is unsettling when you don't talk at all."

In response to my statement he lets out an odd chuckle and goes in front of me once we're alone, stopping me in my path.

"Huk huk huk. I think I know who 'Kee-rah' is. Oh I can't believe Ryuk let himself get tied down. He's like a pet."

I furrow my brow but say nothing, I make my way past him and enter my apartment, throwing my back on the couch and grab the Death Note out from under the dresser. It's been months since I've written in this, and even so it has never been too often as it was.

"Yuik, if you tell me who Kira is, then I will consider the deal."

Before he can respond I sit down at the counter and pull out a pen.

"What is with the sudden change of heart Ura? Is it the sudden competition with L? Or is it jealousy that somebody else has this power now?"

"Shut the hell up Yuik. Or else I will burn this right now and you lose this. L is an incompetent fool who is always one step behind me when solving a case. He may be good with computers, but is too slow when it comes to a crime. And no, I am not jealous. I am actually intrigued. He amount he has killed in such a short time is interesting, I may even talk to Light about this whenever I see him tomorrow. His father is the head of my department, not to mention that he is top of his class in both his high school and prep school."

"Light Yagami? Well this should be good then."

Stupid shinigami.

A/N: I have a good feeling about this, I hope you guys like it.
