When Light woke up, everything was normal. He had a faint memory of what happened last night and pegged it off the be a very vivid nightmare. He shook his head at his foolishness, demons didn't exist.
Light turned the TV on as he began to get dressed, changing into his school outfit that hung neatly pressed on his closet door. His bag sat on his desk, everything he needed was already packed inside. Another day, another boring cycle. He hoped that maybe he could learn something interesting, but sincerely doubted it. Light was about to turn off the desk television, when the headline caught his eye.
Man murdered after robbing a store, Murderer disappeared with no trace.
Light stood, listening to the news reporter talk about. Apparently a man robbed a convenience store and killed the clerk, but then got murdered himself by an identified person. The killer left no trace of himself other than the dead body.
So killers are getting killed now, Light frowned. The world was truly rotten. The only thing he could do is continue in his repetitive daily dance and hope one day he could become a great detective that could stop crime.
Light walked out of his room, grabbed something to eat, and started his daily routine.
When Light got home, he was way more tired then he usually was. This was odd for him, but he blamed it on that odd nightmare he had. Surely nightmares could keep anyone up, couldn't they?
Bad news was all that was on the television as usual. Like shook his head, evil people needed to die. Light thought that if he had the power to kill all the evil humans out there, he could create a new world free of crime. Light knew he was only dreaming, the closest he could do was become a detective like his father. Surely when Light was a detective, a lot of criminals would be arrested.
Two Weeks Later
A new kind of killer was on the loose. This killer killed anyone who committed a murder. He somehow killed people that were in rotting in prison also. Overall, about 200 people have been killed. The internet has taken to calling this killing 'Kira'. The kills were always the same, direct stabs to the heart with a sharp object. There was never any evidence, even on the cameras. People that were around when the murder occurred reported that they saw nothing. Many conspiracy theories are on the internet, one of the biggest is that Kira is a vengeful spirit.
While Light thought criminals dying was a good thing, he couldn't agree with Kira's methods. Wouldn't killing others make you a murder too? Light found himself pondering this case off and on, probably more than he should. His father was more stressed than usual, having this impossible case in front of him.
Light couldn't help himself and snooped in the police files. He was quite surprised when he read that the police suspected a student. The time of the murders matched a student's schedule.
Interesting... Light thought to himself. He knew that the NPA was incompetent to come up with something like that, so he began to suspect that they had outside help.
Light went back to internet, reading theories about this Kira figure. It was kind of freaky how many followers he had already. When Light saw a post saying Kira was God, he decided he had enough internet for the night.
"Light, get down here for dinner before I eat your food!" Sayu called up.
"You better not!" Light responded, running out of his room.
Sayu giggled and ran down the stairs. When Light entered the kitchen, he was surprised to see his father was home. Soichiro Yagami had been so busy will this new case that he had been spending almost all of his time at the police station. To see him home so early was a nice surprise to the Yagami household.
The mood at the dinner table was light-hearted. Light talked a bit about how well he was doing in school, Sayu talked about usual drama. Apparently Sayu had a crush on this new kid and was intent on telling her entire family all about him. Light simply rolled his eyes and toned out, thinking about Kira.
"Hey dad?" Light interrupted Sayu's rant about how this guy said Hi to her in the falls, receiving a venomous glare from his sister.
"Yes?" Soichiro answered, smiling at how Sayu crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.
"Are you okay, you look tired?" Light asked.
"I can't tell you much, but this case i'm working on is very stressful." Soichiro replied with a sigh.
"Oh, well i'm sure you'll figure it out soon." Light said, knowing the police were working on it with some help.
"I hope so, I really do." Soichiro said and the topic dissolved.
Something about Kira being caught made Light feel uneasy, but he had know idea why. Shouldn't he want a killer to be caught?
A/N: Hey guys, thanks for reading! All of my author's notes are going to be at the end. I was going to make this chapter longer, but decided against it. I also didn't realize how Kuroshitsuji the first chapter sounded, but the story will be nothing like that I promise. It's pretty much following my beliefs and what i think would happen. I think this chapter ended up being short, but I promise that they will get longer from here out. There will be time skips, because I really don't need to go into detail about Light doing the same thing everyday. Reviews are greatly appreciated!
