Gelus followed me home and as he said no one spotted his presence only I. I had to use this miraculous note then if it works as this Shinigami says it should. I glance at the photograph of my family sitting on a blanket having lunch laughing. I couldn't go with them that day. I was at school I had to get out of this town and onto something more. They died the next day after we all got into a gigantic debate on whether or not I should continue with college. That was almost a year ago. I smiled weakly at the picture frame in my hand turning on the light. "I'll avenge you guys and others like you. Okay?" I whisper to the tiny smiling faces. Per usual they did not respond to my quiet pleas. I blink away the tears that had welled up in my eyes remembering the presence of Gelus.
"Why is his young mistress crying?" he asked tilting his head to where he could see me out of his eye better.
I shake my head putting the frame back on the table exactly how it was. It hadn't sunken in yet that they would never be coming home to find me gone and coming back later. "I'm just thinking about my family they've been on vacation for some time now, but they should be home soon." I lie with a smile pushing the blonde bangs out of my face. I promised myself that until I could avenge their deaths that I wouldn't change the way I looked or the house. They wouldn't care either way, but this was for me to finally realize that they would not come home ever again.
Gelus nodded at me keeping quiet. What was with him? He hasn't said a word since we left the store. Is he just waiting on me to use the death note? But how can I use it and have immediate results? I sigh rubbing my head with one hand while using the other to rub at the little white characters adorning the cover. I shrug off the noise of my neighbors pulling up into their yard, but not before I realize that I haven't eaten anything today. My manager would kill me considering as I have barely consumed anything but a small piece of sushi before I was whisked away to pose for that sleazy photographer.
"Gelus do you want anything to eat?" I ask smiling weakly grabbing a small red apple.
He started to shake his head before looking up at my apple. "Do you have another one of those?" He asks as saliva starts to drip down his chin.
I smile tossing him the one in my hand and grabbing a banana instead. I laughed as before I had even opened the peel the apple in his hand was gone. "Wow. You were really hunger weren't you?"
Gelus shook his head quietly. "In the Shinigami Realm the apples are all shriveled up and dead. The only thing worth coming to the human world for long is the apples."
"Go ahead and eat as many as you want I can always eat something else." I say sitting down on the floor in front of the sofa. I turn on the television to the news I might as well have it on something worth listening to. I didn't look at the machine but rather at the ceiling above my head that is until I heard the reporter say something about the Amane family. I dropped the banana to the floor with only one bite taken out of it.
"The Amane's all died in a failed robbery of the Amane home. Every Amane was murdered except for Misa Amane who watched her family die before her very eyes. We weren't able to get a quote from her about their killer, Tsugumi Nakagawa's release. He will be released from prison tomorrow after he proved…." The tiny reporter went away as I clicked the television off in a rage.
How could they release such a vile man that could kill 3 people in cold blood before my very eyes? He could've taken my life as well, but why didn't he? My perfect life went away when He decided that my family wasn't suited to live anymore.
I stand up without help from anything and walk over to my desk. I open a drawer only to remove a pen before closing it back exactly as it was. Having him live out in the open can't be as bad as having Tsugumi chasing after me ready to kill me at any moment.
"Gelus." I say sitting down in the desk chair, "If I write the name of any person in the world they will die, right?"
Gelus smiles stopping his devouring of my apples. "Yes. The person will die of a heart attack, as the instructions on the front cover indicate. So you've decided indeed to use the death note, mistress?"
I nod quietly. "Yes. The earth doesn't need to have such vile creatures as these evil humans that are currently roaming." I inhale opening the note. He would no longer be able to plague me. I carefully write down the name Tsugumi Nakagawa I can't make a mistake that despicable person doesn't deserve to roam the earth any further.
I sigh getting up to turn the television back on only to see if Tsugumi Nakagawa would actually fall.
The reporter came back on the screen within a few seconds. "This just in. Tsugumi Nakagawa has just suffered a major heart attack and has been declared dead on the spot."
My eyes go wide with amazement it works. It isn't just a typical notebook. I turn to see Gelus smiling sadly. "What is it?" I ask quietly he couldn't be a Shinigami without killing anyone, but why does he seem sad that I just killed my parents and brother's murder.
"It's just you've made your first kill with my death note. Are you alright to keep holding onto it or do you want to relinquish ownership?" Gelus asks as I turn off the television.
I sigh quietly. They were finally avenged. He would no longer be around to bother me. I had just killed Tsugumi Nakagawa, the murder.
