Chapter 7:

One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.
The instrument to write with can be anything, ((e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc)) as long as it can write directly onto the note and remains as legible letters.
Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.

December 10:

With Kagome:

She almost dropped her plate of freshly baked cookies, though she held onto the plate in a death-like-grip. Her mouth went dry as it hung open, her eyes were wide with fear as the cellphone she was carrying between her shoulder and her ear fell to the floor, it smashed against the tile flooring, though not breaking the conversation between Kagome herself and the female on the other side.

Kagome could faintly hear Ayame calling her name: "Kagome?... Kagome? ... 'Gome? Kags? Hun, you there?"

No, she wasn't there. Her mind was wandering away from the plane of the living, her thoughts speeding like the bullet train that passed through every three hours. Her heart almost beating out of her chest.

Tears came to her eyes as she pushed the plate of cookies onto the counter so they wouldn't break and be damaged for her grandchildren's bake sale tomorrow. She slowly sank to the floor, the coldness of the tiles seeped through her long socks and jeans. She gulped away the lump in her throat, her arms wrapping around her waist tightly as the tears started to fall from the corner of her eyes.

"A-Aya-" she couldn't even bring herself to finish her friends name, she felt like she was going to hurl her breakfast onto the floor- and she really didn't want to clean that up. "T-tell me... It's not true." Kagome begged, her eyes zeroing in on the phone. The phone itself was silent for a moment.

"I just thought I should tell you. No demon's are responsible for this, Kagome. This isn't a demons work. It's something else..." Ayame spoke up from the other side. Kagome took in another shuddering breath, bowing her head and curling her body so her forhead touched the cool floor, the faint smell of lemons lingered from when she mopped the floor a few hours before. "Kagome... I'm sorry, but it's true. 11 criminals died- so far on the hour, every hour..." Ayame trailed off.

Kagome gulped again, feeling the tickling sensation of the tears running down the curve of her cheek and dropping off of her nose onto the floor.

"Oh, kami... Ayame, what's going on?" Kagome begged her friend. The line was silent for awhile. "Ayame!" Kagome became desperate, the line went dead.

December 11:

Kagome didn't need to be told, her heart was breaking in her chest as Kouga waited on the other side of the phone line for a response from her.

"Kouga... I'm busy, I have a test tomorrow in my forgien language's class, I need to study if I want to pass..." Her excuse was as good as any, they were always taking tests in that class- not that she enjoyed them or anything, it just helped to study...

"No you don't, Kagome. You just took a test in that class last Tuesday-"

"Well maybe I have another one!" She snapped, ending the phone call with an angry snap of her phone. It took her a few seconds later to stare in horror at her phone- what did she just do? She snapped at her friend Kouga! Ended the phone call when he obviously wanted to know how she was doing! (and also pass the information on that 23 criminals died yesterday and more were dying today.)

She sank further into the couch, her hands coming up to cover her eyes. Her bottom lip trembled unattractively, she sniffed loudly, her shoulders shaking. She felt useless, hopeless- she started to cry.

They might've been criminals, but they were still people with a family, home, heart, and people who cared about them. They didn't deserve to die at any given moment- they should at least know when they'll be dying. Or at least given another chance.

"It's not fair." She whimpered softly, rubbing her eyes, trying to get the stinging tears to stop- they wouldn't, and the rubbing made them come out even more. "It's not fair! It's not fair! IT'S NOT FAIR!" She cried desperatly, thinking of anyway she could help, anyway she could contribute.

She came up with nothing, and if she tried to get involved, suspicion would be thrown unto her- hell, even the phone calls Ayame and Kouga were giving her were probably risky enough.

She whimpered some more, taking a desperate breath to get her breathing right again, instead of the pathetic sobs she was giving now. She was stronger than this, dammit! She helped defeat Naraku for Kami's sake! Her right fist clenched in her hair, slowly unfisting and letting the strands flow through her open fingers as it fell uselessly into her lap.

She stared down at her hands, and once again, she felt useless.

December 12:

With L:

He sat on the wooden floor, his legs folded so where his feet were placed near his hips, his hands folded together: He was meditating.

"From the estimated time of the victims' deaths, I told the task force that there is a strong possibility that Kira is a student. And then, as if mocking the very notion, the next day Kira elminated 23 prisoners at intervals of exactly one hour, and did the same thing again the next day. He was showing me that he can set the time of death. Until then, Kira was setting the time of death to lead me to the conclusion that the perpetrator was a student... Does that mean he managed to dupe me?..."

"But the bigger issue is that Kira has some way of obtaining information known only to the task force... That's the main point. What's Kira's real aim in letting me know that? What is he trying to do?" L stood up, stretching his back out as he talked aloud to himself, the room was almost completely black, except for the computer screen- which was glowing a soft blue.

"Regardless... Police information is leaking to Kira. I have to do something about that." L thought, bowing down in front of the computer. He typed a few keys on the board, then started speaking.

"Watari, it's me. Leave the task force office for a moment." There was silence for a moment, then Watari spoke up:

"L, I'm outside, what is it?" L bit his thumb nail lightly, outside wasn't good enough...

"Go somewhere the police can't see or hear you, and link me up to the director of the FBI." L demanded, he could almost see Watari's shocked face.

"Will do." The line went dead, L sat back... Didn't he need to call To-Oh to see how much the fee was to take the entrance exams..?

With Light:

"Now for some shopping?" Ryuk thought outloud, first an abandoned school and now a hard ware store? What was going on today?

"I need somethings for hiding the notebook." Light explained, opening a folded sheet of paper. "I want to hide it in my room, where I can easily take it out and put it back. At the same time, it has to be someplace my family would never touch it... And by now, L is starting to suspect people involved in the investigation... If he wants to catch Kira, he needs a confession from me, or the Death Note. One or the other." Light said, walking into the store and looking around.

Today he figured he would leave the Death Note at home, why not? His mother was out for the day- visiting friends, Sayu was at one of the school's games, so she wouldn't be home in till after he got home, his father was always busy- so why not?

"Hey, Light. Can I ask you a question?" Ryuk asked once they were standing in line to buy the supplies.

"Mm.." Light hummed, showing that he heard Ryuk while he studied the list.

"You dad's the NPA chief of Detectives, so you can use him to find out what the cops know. And that's the advantage you were talking about if the cops start closing in..." Ryuk stated.

"Thank you." The lady behind the counter smiled at Light, who had just paid for the supplies.

"Uh huh." He answered, moving to the door to leave the store. "I can even hack into my dad's computer from mine without leaving a trail. So I can stay on top of the investigation." Light answered, moving down the sidewalk, carrying two plastic bags.

At Light's Home with Sayu:

"Don't worry, I'll be there any minute! I just want to grab some homework so I can work on it while I'm watching the game." Sayu spoke into the cordless house phone, moving up the stairs. She had left a few hours before to hang out with some friends in the park, then came back home to find Light was gone. She had shrugged it off and was currently searching for the last peice of homework so she could take it with her to the school.

"Will you be quiet, I'm trying to think." Sayu snapped, putting the phone down on the table in the hallway, moving towards Light's room. Maybe she left some homework in there from last night's help session?

She opened the door, noticing a little slip of paper fall out of the crack. She looked at it strangely then shrugged. She scanned his clean room, slightly jealous of how clean it always was.

She moved towards his desk, scanning a few papers here and there. She noticed a silver key under a few papers, her interest was grasped as she took the key, looking to the lock on the drawer.

She shouldn't, what if it was one of those bad magazine's she caught Light reading a few days ago...? He would kill her if he found out she was in his room! Though her curiousity won out over being rational and unlocked the drawer. Inside were a few more papers and a... Notebook?

She picked the strange thing up, only knowing one word of the english writing: "Note?" she shrugged, opening the strange "note" and looked at the inside cover. Her eyes widened at the forigen langauge that was written inside, instantly feeling a headache coming on. She looked at the pages, confusion instantly taking over. There were so many names...

"It must be because he wants to be a detective and has written all the people's names down and the time they died... Strange, I wonder how come some of these names don't have the time they died at... And why is this guy's name written six different times?" she was beyond confused.

She set the notebook back down into his desk, noticing her history homework that she was looking for. Her eyes brightened and she closed the drawer, locking it back up and closing Light's door, putting the slip of paper back in his door. Homework in hand, she left with her back pack and a promise into the ohone that she would be there soon.

A/N: Slighty longer chapter, I know! And this last part with Sayu touching the Death Note, didn't really happen! I just made it happen so the story of Death Note would be more... Entertaining? Also, she doesn't read English, she just know's a few words, "note" happened to be one of them. Enjoy the twist to the story!
