Kai walked up to Yori and grabbed her hand.

"Yori, can I talk to you in private for a second?"

Yori looked at her friends and then back to Kai, "ok!"

Kai led her to an empty park bench and they both sat down.

"Yori, I need to ask you something but first I need you to promise me that you can keep everything I tell you a secret."

Yori nodded, "I promise, what is it Kai?"

"Alright, first off, are you on L's side or Kira's side?"

"Whichever side you're on."

Well, that makes it easy doesn't it?

Kai rolled his eyes.

"Ok, you can't tell anyone but I'm on Kira's side. Everyone else has to think I'm on L's side though, alright?"

Yori nodded again.

"So that means that you're on Kira's side but everyone thinks you're on L's side right?"

"Mmhmm!"

I couldn't have possibly picked a ditzier girlfriend…

"Alright, now here's the thing you absolutely cannot tell anyone or I will most likely die. You don't want that to happen do you?"

Yori gasped, "no! Of course not! I swear, I will keep it a secret forever!"

"You won't tell anyone no matter what happens?"

"No!"

Kai hesitated, "alright then…I'm Kira."

"O-M-G!"

"Shhh!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

"Ok, now Yori, listen carefully, I need your help. Ryuzaki is keeping tight surveillance on me, I have people following me, cameras in my room, and who knows what else. It's getting harder for me to kill criminals and if Kira suddenly stops as he's keeping surveillance then I'll be as good as caught. I need you to take the Death Note and kill criminals for me while I can't. Can you do that?"

"Absolutely! Anything for you Kai!"

"Remember, you can't tell anyone, not your friends, not your parents, not your little sister. Understand?"

"Mmhmm!"

"All right…I'll give you the Death Note at your house later tonight."

"Ok!"

Kai kissed her quickly on the cheek and walked away.

Kai climbed the tree in the graveyard, pulled out the Death Note, and stuffed it in his bag.

'So, do you have a reason for choosing the dumbest girl you know to use the Death Note? I thought your aim was to not get caught and Yori is dumber than Misa was!'

"Relax Ryuk, I chose her specifically because I know she'll screw up. She'll get caught as Kira and she'll deny that I ever had anything to do with it. So long as I act like I love her then she'll do anything I say. This is just to temporarily—or, if I'm lucky permanently—throw the suspicion off of me."

Kai jumped out of the tree.

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk, you're worse than your father was!'

"I'm not sure whether or not to take that as a compliment when it's coming from you…"

Ryuk laughed as Kai started on his way to Yori's house.

Kai rung the doorbell and Yori's little sister answered.

"Hi Satomi, is Yori home?"

"Depends, how much is it worth to you?"

"Satomi! Don't treat your sister's boyfriend that way!"

"Sorry mom…"

Kai stood in the doorway looking at Satomi.

She rolled her eyes, "fine…Yori! Your boyfriend is here!"

"Thanks kid."

"I'm not a kid! I'm eight years old!"

"And I'm eighteen, sorry but you're still a kid to me."

Satomi frowned and went into the family room to watch TV.

Yori met Kai in the hallway.

"Sorry it took so long for me to get downstairs."

She gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"It's fine, so are you ready?"

"Mmhmm," she led Kai upstairs to her room and closed and locked the door. Kai set his bag down and pulled out the Death Note.

"I should warn you ahead of time. The second you touch this you'll see a Shinigami. His name is Ryuk and I know he looks creepy but don't freak out ok?"

Yori nodded and Kai handed her the notebook.

Yori glanced at Ryuk and it took everything she had not to scream.

"So…does this thing always follow you?" Yori asked, not taking her eyes off of the Shinigami.

"Pretty much…" Kai answered nonchalantly.

"So…then…even while we're together?"

"For the most part, yeah."

"Oh! How embarrassing!"

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk, relax, I usually fly off somewhere, I don't want to see the two of you kissing or anything. That's not interesting to me.'

"Oh…that's good then."

"Now Yori, I need you to listen to my instructions very carefully ok? You need to remember everything I tell you and I might give you more instructions later on, alright?"

Yori nodded.

"Ok, now you probably already know this but any person whose name you write in the Death Note will die and you can't take it back. However, if you misspell anyone's name four times they can never be killed by a Death Note and if you misspell their name four times on purpose you will die so you have to make sure you're spelling their name right."

"Is there any way I can make sure? I don't want to make a mistake like that!"

'Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk, well, there is one way. You could always make the trade.'

"What trade?"

Kai sighed and leaned back in his chair, "you can make a trade with Ryuk for Shinigami eyes which will allow you to see the name and lifespan of any person simply by looking at their face—unless they have a Death Note, in which case you will only be able to see their name. Also you can't see the name or lifespan of someone who has already died and you can't see your own lifespan, that would allow you to know when you'll die and it's hard to tell what a person would do if they knew they were going to die. The only problem with the deal is that it costs half your lifespan. I don't advise making the trade unless it's absolutely necessary."

"You're right Kai, I won't make the trade, at least not yet…if worse comes to worse then I will but not right now."

"Alright, as I was saying, you should also only kill criminals—and make sure they're not petty criminals like pickpockets or shoplifters. Try only to kill the big ones like murderers, rapists, drug dealers, people like that. And don't forget to hide it, if anyone gets a hold of it, they'll see Ryuk—not to mention they'll have all the evidence they need to convict you."

"Ok…um, I was wondering…what should I do if I get caught?"

"If you get caught then I will try my best to convince them you're innocent but never admit to being Kira and absolutely do not tell them anything about me being Kira. I'm the number one suspect right now and if they get anything against me then I'm as good as dead. If they ask about me convince them I'm innocent alright?"

"Of course! I'll do anything if it keeps you from getting caught as Kira!"

"Good, thank you so much Yori."

And with that, Kai kissed her and left, leaving Ryuk laughing and her staring at the notebook.
