RYUK'S P.O.V.

"Today's the day, Ryuk." Mercy said as she sat her vantage point.

I looked at her and said, "Seriously? It's been a year already?

" She nodded and said, "Yes... Eren has ajusted into the Yami World perfectly. He a model citzen and still maintains his childish sence of justice. He actually brought his adopted brother into it as well."

I flew up and said, "So we're going to give the Death Notes to them?"

She nodded and said, "I will drop mine to Eren, and you drop yours to Light. Soon their curiosty will peek and they will try it... That is when our real entertaintment really begins."

She held up her spare Death Note and said, "Now fall my note into his hands, so that he may change the world."

She relased it and it fell into the human world.

I looked at my extra and said, "Well... Ah, forget this weird mystery crap, just make me not bored!"

I tossed my note and it fell into the human world of Yami.

Mercy looked at me and said, "Five days... Five days after they find it we will go to them..."

I nodded and looked down into the Yami World.

Soon, no more boring Shinigami and their constant gambling.

Soon I will have more excitement than I know what to do with.

And it all begins very soon.

EREN'S P.O.V.

"Hey Eren!" I turned around to see Light walking towards me.

Light, my older brother and best friend since I got here just over one year ago.

He's helped me become the person I am today, after all his tutoring, now I'm in the higher ranking in the class, either tied with him or he beats me out. I smiled and said, "Hey Brother, what's going on?"

He smirked and said, "I just caught a glance at the class averages."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Are we tied again or did you beat me by one point?"

He shook his head and said, "Congrats Eren, you rank top!"

I smiled and said, "Well that's nice."

He laughed and said, "Geeze Eren, you always undertone this stuff."

I replied, "So do you Light, it not that big of a deal, we get good grades in school, and cram school. Next year we'll be taking our enterance exams to Ta-oh University. Let's just focus on what's ahead of us."

I heard my phone begin to ring and I picked it up.

Mom got me a phone not long after I started going to school and personaly, I was geninuinly excited.

Ever since Light introduced me to computers, I can't stop exploring them.

Now I'm highly proficient in prompt commands, digital editing, and one of my more hidden abilites, hacking.

After I finshed talking, Light looked at me and asked, "Who was that?"

I replied, "Seiko Katuska. She was asking if I was still going to the coffee shop tomorrow after school."

Light nudged me and said, "Told you, it's that Yagami charm that wins them over every time."

I laughed and said, "Every girl in the school wants to date us."

Light laughed as well and said, "The Yagami Brothers are the prize of the school."

I looked at the path in front of us to see two notebooks fall from what seemed like the sky and land in the patch of grass seemingly un-noticed.

I nudged Light and said, "Did you just..."

He nodded and said, "Yeah..."

I looked at them and said, "Let's check it out."

We walked up to them and picked them up.

Light's had a plain black cover, while mine was black with small skulls, crosses, and white spalter drawn across the plain black notebook.

But on both notebooks the same two words were written across the cover in English.

English was an easy enough launague to learn, considering my goal to be detective, I should know the most known laungauge in the world.

I didn't even have to think about it to translate the covers, which both read;

DEATH NOTE

Light and I walked over toward a bench where it was more private.

Light open it up and read the first page aloud;

DEATH NOTE

HOW TO USE IT

~ The Human's name whose name is written in this note shall die.

~ This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore people sharing the same name will not be affected.

~ If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.

~ If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

~ After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

"What does yours say Eren?" Light asked as I opened up mine.

I replied, "Same as yours only more doodles on the edges."

I sat back and said, "Clearly it's a joke or some sort of chain letter. I mean really it's impossible."

Light looked at it and said, "I don't know Eren it seems to detailed to be a joke, besides you should talk about the impossible Mr. I-Turn-Into-A-Giant-Monster. But if it is real, then how do we see if it works?"

I pulled out a the newspaper I picked up earier that day and said, "Well could try it on him."

I pointed to the picture and said, "His name is Kuro Numi, and he was charged with several accounts of, kidnapping, rape, and murder, but because he the son of a Congressman, he got sentance to a single year in prison when he deserved the death penalty."

Light took out his pen and said, "Alright..."

He quickly wrote in this note;

Kuri Numi

"Alright... if this really works, in 40 seconds he going to die of a heart attack. The time is 3:29."

I nodded and said, "So he would die at 3:30. Good to know. Now we'll see if this is really what it says it is."

We stood up and made our way towards home walking though the streets.

We glanced up at the giant T.V. screens, looking at the news playing.

Suddenly Light and I stopped dead in our tracks as we looked at the Channel 12 newscaster.

"As of today, Kuro Numi, the famed son of Congessman Numi, and the leading suspect in the Lost Girls Orphanage Murders, died of a sudden heart attack at 3:30 p.m. following his release."

"Police believe the trial had unexpected stress on him, and no foul play was suspected..."

A heart attack?

N-No way...

This isn't happening!

It has to be a coincidence...

Light looked at me and said, "Eren...

" I nodded and said, "Let's go home... We need to talk about this..."

We began walking home again.

The Death Notes...

It's unlikely but if by chance this thing really works...

We have to test it one more time.

In any case it should probably be another criminal but if he's too well known that will be a problem, if they die, the news of his death will be covered up.

We'll need immediate results.

As we walked I begin to take notice of the people around me.

Light looked at me and said, "You know, once you start looking around, it makes you wonder if you'd be doing society a favor by getting rid of all of these people."

We were walking down pass the convenint store, when I noticed a girl getting cornered in by bikers.

The leader yelled,"Hey baby I'm Yushi Nomua and as of this moment... You are mine baby doll."

She screamed, "No! Help me!"

I looked at the Death Note in my hands and back at the horrible man.

I got out a pen and wrote down his name and directions in the note.

I looked up at the scene.

Now... What will happen?!

I looked at my watch and it said it was 3:58...

If it really works we'll see in a few more seconds.

The sound of police sirens roll though the air.

"Fuck it's the cops!" One of the bikers yelled.

During the confusion the girl ran away from them, and across the street.

Yushi yelled, "Oh no you don't you little bitch!"

He drove into the street and... In a flash a car slams into him, knocking him into the street, completely dead.

I just stared in shock...

Light looks at me and asked, "Eren...? What did you write?"

I held up the note which read;

Yushi Nomua

Accidental Death

While trying to assault a young woman with his gang he suddenly hears police sirens.

In this moment, she escapes to the other side of the road.

He drives after her and at 3:59, he's hit by a speeding car and dies instantly.

"We need to go home, now!" Light said as he grabbed my hand and led me away from the scene.

That settle's it...

The Death Note... It's real...

Oh my God...

We just killed people...

MERCY'S P.O.V.

"It's time Ryuk." I said as I stepped up to him.

Some of the Shinigami playing cards looked at me and said, "Mercy? Are you finally taking us up on a game of cards?"

I replied, "Sorry I can't. I lost my Death Note and Ryuk promised to help me."

They looked at Ryuk and said, "Seriously? What are you getting out of it Ryuk?"

He laughed and said, "Well some entertainment... Since she hangs around the portals a lot..."

They gasped and one said, "Her note's in the human world."

I nodded and said, "Come Ryuk... Let's leave... The game is just beginning."

Ryuk smiled as we jumped into the Yami world, letting our wings glide us down to the Yagami household.

EREN'S P.O.V.

"Hello boys! Welcome home!" Mom said as we walked in.

I smiled and said, "Thanks Mom..."

She held out her hands and Light said, "Oh the nation wide exam scores, right?"

She nodded and said, "I've been waiting all day."

We handed her our results and she said, "Goodness! Number one results again! These are the highest scores both of you had! I'm so proud of you two!"

I then said as we climbed the stairs, "Yeah, I guess so. We're going to study in our room, so please don't interrupt us okay?"

She smiled and said, "As you wish. Oh and boys, do you want anything? Anything at all?"

Light replied, "We're fine Mom, thanks though."

I closed the door and locked it behind us.

We already have what, we want.

We went to our desk and pulled out our own Death Notes, giving a chuckle at all the names we've already written in the past five days.

"I see you come to like the Death Note Eren..."

I looked towards the window and saw ghostly figure.

I screamed and looked at the ghost like monster standing before me.

It looked feminine with white cloth draped from it arms and body, it's skin was grey and flawless, besides the sticking on it's neck. It's hair was a blackish purple color and laid out like feather, it had a set of black and white wings stretched from it's back, and it's eyes were yellow with red irises.

I fell out of my chair and yelled out, "What the hell?!"

I looked at Light and he too was cowering from the creature.

He can see it too?!

"Now come not Eren, don't ask so surprised. I am the Shinigami, Mercy, the original owner of that Death Note you posses and judging by you and your brother's laughter, you discover that those notebooks are far from ordinary."

Light looked at me and said, "A Shinigami... A God of death... Only seems fitting something like these would come from it. Well... we not surprised Ryuk. In fact we've been expecting you."

Ryuk?

But didn't it just say it name was Mercy...

Unless...

I looked at her and said, "There are two of you, isn't that right Mercy?"

Light looked at me and said, "Mercy? You mean... The Shinigami I'm seeing is different than you are seeing?"

Mercy laughed and said, "Very good Eren... If you touch your brother's Death Note you shall see Ryuk and if Light touched your Death Note he shall see me."

I looked at Light and said, "Light, she said if you touch my Death Note, you'll see her, and if I touch yours I'll see this Ryuk..."

He nodded and we held up our Death Notes.

I felt a sensation as my hand touched my brother's note and I turned to see the other Shinigami.

Now I understand why he yelled like he did...

Ryuk was freaky looking, dressed in head to toe leather and had unblinking eyes and a crazy smile.

Light looked at me and said, "Geeze, she looks better that Ryuk."

Ryuk growled, "Hey, I heard that."

I smirked and said, "In any case it didn't take us long to discover what the notebooks did."

Light nodded and said, "And now that we've witnessed the Death Notes power, we only feel more confidant in what we're going to do."

Ryuk's smile widen and said, "Well that's interesting... I wasn't expecting this. Several Death Notes have made it to the Human world in the past, but you two are the first to have written this many names."

Mercy nodded and said, "Look at all the people killed in only five days. Most are reluctant to write a single name, yet you two have filled a number of pages with names."

Light looked at them and said, "We've prepared for this. We used the notebooks all to well, knowing it belonged to Shinigami."

I nodded and said, "Light explained the Shinigami to me when we started talking about the notebooks more."

Light looked at the Death Notes and said, "And now the Shinigami have come for us. Now what will happen to us? You two are here to claim our souls right?"

Ryuk looked at us and said, "What do you mean? Is that some fantasy you humans came up with? We're not going to do anything to you."

Now that surprised me...

Mercy looked at us and said, "The note becomes apart of the Human world the moment it touches the ground... In other words those notebooks rightfully belong to you two. They are yours to keep."

I looked at the note I had been using and held it firmly in my hands.

Ryuk looked at us and said, "If you don't want it, just hand it to someone else, but be warned the moment you give it up, we take all memories of the Death Note from your mind."

I looked at them and said, "So you're saying that we can use the Death Note all we want and won't be punished for it?!"

Mercy looked at us and said, "Let's just say this... A human who uses the notebook shall only know the fear and pain brought with it... And..."

She looked at us and said, "And when it's your time to die... It will fall on us to write your name in our Death Notes. Be warned any human who has used a Death Note... Can't go to Heaven nor Hell for eternity."

That was the most surprising thing they said out of them all.

Ryuk laughed and said, "Now you two have something to look forward to after you die."

A knock came at the door and Mom said, "Light... Eren..."

Crap! If Mom sees these things she's going to have a heart attack.

Mercy looked at us and said, "Relax... Open the door..."

We hid our Death Notes and Light opened the door.

I said, "Hey Mom, what's up?"

She smiled and said, "I thought you boys would like some apples and maybe a little tea too?"

She looked in the room and asked, "Why is it so dark in here? You'll ruin your eyesight."

What going on? Can she see them...

Wait... No it like before, only people who've touched the note can see them.

Mom handed me the tea and Light, the apples.

I set the cups down and Mercy said, "The Death Note in your possession Eren originally belonged to me and Light's to Ryuk. Thus, you and anyone who has touched the note can only see and hear us."

Ryuk picked up an apple and said, "In other words in a bond between Light the human and Ryuk the Shinigami, and Eren the humanoid and Mercy the Shinigami."

He bit into the apple and said, "Yum!"

I looked at him and said, "Wait you called me a humanoid. Why is that?"

"Because your life span is longer than normal humans. You will outlive newborns if they live a full life... You are going to live a long time Eren."

Light looked at Ryuk and said, "I have one more question for you two. Why us?"

Ryuk was still eating apples at a break neck pace and Mercy had take up my tea cup.

I yelled, "Hey are you two listening?!"

Ryuk smiled and said, "Apples from the Human World is worth the trip... How'd you say... Juicy?"

Mercy set the empty cup down and said, "I'd say the tea was worth it... It warms my old bones..."

Light then said, "Just answer us!"

Mercy looked at us and said, "Well you two... You promised the most entertainment for us. One of the reasons why the instructions are written in English, it the most popular language among the Human Worlds."

I looked at her and said, "Human Worlds! You mean..."

She nodded and said, "Yes Eren there are other worlds, one of which is your home..."

I jumped up and said, "My friends! What's happening? How did I..."

She tilted her head and said, "A Shinigami play a trick on you Eren. He switched you out with a dying girl... The only wait for you to get back home what to switch back... But the girl already died... You are stuck here."

I sat down and said, "And my friends?"

She replied, "Looking non stop for you... They searched half of all the places in Rose and will be going to Wall Sheena very soon. They haven't given up hope Eren, but they will not find you there... Soon the search will stop completely..."

I grabbed my bed and said, "Damn... I wish I could tell Mikasa and Armin, I'm okay... They must be worried sick."

Light looked at Ryuk and asked, "Why did you drop your notes in the first place?"

Ryuk laughed and said, "Because we were bored."

Mercy nodded and said, "The Shinigami realm is desolate and boring so Ryuk and I dropped our notes. Now my question is, why did you only wrote down the cause of death in more detail for the guy that was hit by the car?"

Light smirked and said, "If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack and that probably the best thing about the Death Note, Mercy."

They looked at us in surprise and I said, "We've already exhausted the list of the world's major criminals, and eventually we'll get rid of them all."

Ryuk looked at us and asked, "What's the point in that?"

I looked at him and said, "Eventually, people are going to start to notice some one is eliminating the wicked. We want the world to know of our existence! That there is someone out there pasting judgement on the wicked!"

Ryuk looked at us and asked, "Why even bother? Why even try to achieve by passing judgement on them?"

Light looked out the window and said, "We've been bored too."

I nodded and said, "When we found out the Death Note's powers we were terrified but then we began to realize the possibilities... The world was rotting, all around us and the ones making it rot deserved to die... So Light and I deiced we would change the world."

Light picked up his note and said, "At first we wrote the names of the worst criminals, we could think of, like we were cleaning up the world one name at a time. So that eventually, no one would ever do anything evil again. While the major threats die of heart attacks or in Eren's case he likes to use aneurysms, the immoral and minor criminals will be erased by disease and accidental death."

I stood up and said, "Then and only then, the world will start moving in the right direction. It will be a new world filled with kind and good people that we've judged to be earnest and good willed."

Ryuk looked at us and said, "But if you did that then the only bad person left would be you two."

Light smiled and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about. We're just two hard working honor students considered to be Japan's best and brightest. And we..."

Light and I stood next to each other and said, "We will become the gods of this new world."

LIGHT'S P.O.V.

"Eren, would you please translate the following line for us?" The teacher asked as Eren and I wrote away in our Death Notes.

Since we were in the same class, the teacher always called us by our first name to prevent confusion, ever since Eren started going to school with us.

Eren stood up and flipped to the page in the book and said, "Having finally made his dream a reality, he was overwhelmed. Both by the magnitude of his achievement and the joy that it brought him."

The teacher smiled and said, "That was well done, but I'm not surprised. Absolutely flawless, as is expected from the Yagami brothers."

Ryuk looked at me as the bell began to ring and Mercy was hovering over Eren's shoulder.

Ryuk groaned and said, "Glad that's over. Tell me how you two do it? It's so boring."

I stood up and began walking and Ryuk yelled, "Hey where are you going?!"

I met up with Eren in the square when Ryuk asked, "Hey Light, are you listening to me?"

Eren looked at Light and said quietly, "Other people can't hear you Ryuk... But they can hear us."

Ryuk sighed and said, "Well aren't you boring."

Mercy floated up to him and said, "Come on Ryuk... They have only begun our entertainment... It starts out slow but rises to the climax with more and more excitement. Give them a chance."

Satoshi looked at us and said, "Hey Light, Eren! Wanna hang out after..."

"Sorry we have plans tonight, maybe next time, though."

Ryuk looked at us and said, "You two don't have anything to do. Aren't you two just going to your room and hang out as usual?"

Eren replied, "What are you talking about? Of course we have something to do, something very important."

We walked home and went to our room (after grabbing some tea and apples) and locked the door.

Then we began writing in the Death Notes.

Eren looked at me and said, "How about you handle the criminals aired on the news and web today that are still at large, while I deal with the ones in the prisons systems. Okay?"

I nodded and said, "Sounds fair."

We began writing down names of criminals one by one when Ryuk asked, "Hey why are you two working so hard?"

I replied, "We can't afford to waste any time. We have small window of time to write names in the note. From when we get home from school till we go to bed. We need sleep to maintain our averages, can't be falling a sleep in class. Plus studying at home and cram school takes up more time."

Eren sat back and said, "If we're serious about creating an ideal world, then we need to make the most of our time."

I heard the knob of the door jiggle and Sayu's voice say, "Huh? Weird? Hey Big Brothers why is your door locked?"

Sayu...

Eren asked, "What is it Lil' Sis?"

She laughed and said, "Can one of you help me with my homework?"

I replied, "Yeah, okay."

Eren and I placed our notes in the drawer and closed it shut.

Eren walked up to the door and unlocked it.

Sayu held up her math book and said, "We're doing quadratic equations in math. Sorry to interrupt, I know you two are studying right now."

Eren smiled and said, "It's no problem Sayu, what kind of big brothers would we be if we couldn't help our sister with her homework."

Mercy looked at us and said, "Be careful... If anyone touches the Death Notes, they will see us too..."

Dammit, I forgot about that...

"Like everyone in my class gets it but me ."

I let her sit in my seat and I asked, "Okay, what are you having trouble with?"

She smiled and said, "Pretty much all of it."

Tomorrow, we're going to have to device a way to hide the notebooks, and by the look of it I think Eren already has an idea.

RYUK'S P.O.V.

"What are we doing here in this desolate place?" I asked as Eren and Light carried in some equipment from home.

Mercy looked at me and said, "Isn't obvious Ryuk. They're creating something to hide the notebooks."

Eren emptied the drawer and said, "Anyone who touches the Death Note will be able to see the Shinigami that's attached to it. It's too dangerous to carry it around."

Light poured liquid into a tin and said, "Up until now, we thought if our family saw the notebooks, we could tell them we were keeping records for when we became detectives for the police but now... We're walking a very fine line right now."

Eren shook his head and said, "I really don't want to think about it but... One wrong move and our family might die..."

Eren plugged in a battery into the metal and the liquid erupted in flame.

The brothers smiled at each other and began to get to work on the drawers.

Hours later they finished and took their products to their room and placed them into the desk.

Light sighed and said, "That was easier to make than I thought it'd be."

Eren smiled and said, "Oh come on, we're two of the smartest people in the Kanto region. Making this was child's play."

I looked at them and said, "Does that mean you were able hide the notebooks?"

Light nodded and said, "Yeah, hidden right in the drawers we put back."

Mercy looked at it and said, "Your's doesn't seem well protected. The key's in the lock, and Eren's key is on the desk."

Eren replied, "That's the whole point. We left the keys in the most noticeable places."

Light and Eren opened the drawers to reveal in Light's a diary, and in Eren's a dream journal and a book on dream interpretation.

I looked at the objects and said, "But where's the notebooks? All that in there is journals and diaries."

Light smirked and said, "That the idea. Once most people see it, they'll be satisfied their curiosity. But..."

Light grabbed a pen and Eren grabbed his key necklace. "The real keys are these."

Mercy looked at them and said, "The key necklace I understand, but the pen?"

Light broke the pen apart and said, "All I need is the ink cartage."

Eren held up his key and said, "The key itself isn't what's used."

Eren tapped the bottom of the key and out of the stem came a small plastic tube.

Eren smirked and said, "At the bottom of our drawers is a small hole which we insert our little keys in and..."

The bottom lifted up.

I smiled and said, "A false bottom? The diary and journal will distract most people, clever."

Eren smiled and said, "But that's not all. Even if someone figures out there's a fake base, we've set it up to where no one could get the notebooks. When we insert the plastic tubes in it acts as insulator, preventing the flow of electricity around this circuit. When the base is put back this piece of rubber also prevent the flow of electricity. However if someone tried to force open the bottom the ciriut would complete and that would ignite the gasoline in the in plastic bags and instantly set the notebook on fire. All evidence will be completely destroyed. If we're ever questioned, Light says he was hiding the real diary and didn't want anyone to find it. As for myself, I would say it had all the things written down about my kidnapping and since I was held captive for a long time... I would be paranoid about the evidence I was bringing to light and do what ever it takes to protect it. Believable excuses on both ends."

I looked at them and said, "I heard of humans finding Death Notes in the past and the biggest problem they have is finding a good place to hide it. But you two are the first to give it this much thought."

Mercy nodded and said, "Very risky though... One wrong move and you'll be badly burned."

Eren looked at her and said, "Risky? You Shinigami say the weirdest things..."

Light then said, "This whole thing is risky since we got the Death Notes. Honestly it doesn't act as a risk to us, in fact it protects us. It all comes down to a choice. Would we rather be executed or dead with a small house fire?"

Eren laughed and said, "I chose house fire in a minute. I've faced execution before... And I don't intend on facing it again."

I looked at them and asked, "What about your keys?"

Eren smirked and said, "Well it be stupid to make the same key in the off case someone does figure out there a false bottom.

So we made the wholes different sizes. Mine is a small bit larger than an ink cartage... If they use something smaller the ciruit will conect and the draw will be set ablaize. It would be bad if they found one... But two would be worse."

EREN'S P.O.V.

"Hey Light, they finally named us." I said to my brother as I worked on the computer.

He rolled over and said, "Well, what is it?"

I smiled and said, "In a second. Ryuk, Mercy you should check this out too."

The two Shinigami few over and I said, "Websites like this have been popping up a lot lately."

I clicked the page and Mercy said, " 'The Legend of Kira the savior.' Sounds pretty cool."

Ryuk looked at us and asked, "Is this about you two?"

Light nodded and said, "Yeah. I think they took the name 'Kira' from the English word 'killer'. Can't say I happy about that but, that seems to be the name they've given us."

I smirked and said, "Given you."

He looked at me in question as I pulled up another web page. "Some people believe there are two people at work considering, that most of your killings happen in the streets and via heart attacks and most of mine in prisons and via brain aneurysm. So they come of with this name as well."

I clicked the page and Ryuk read out, " 'Yaiba and Kira: Saviors of the world.' Oh scary."

I smiled and said, "I think they took the name 'Yaiba' from the japanese translation of blade meaning we cut away the evil of the world, though the name, Kira, was posted first, and since Light tested it first, he became Kira, and I, become Yaiba."

Light smirked and said, "How many sites come up when you seach Kira or Yaiba?"

I replied, "Too many to count, although Kira has more, but when I put the names together, nearly twice as many sites come up. They really believe there is two people out there killing, based on how and when we kill... Just as we planned... Kira."

Light smiled and said, "Right Yaiba... What about the media?"

I replied, "What about them? They still haven't picked up on this yet, they still calling this a bunch of mysterious deaths among criminals. But the people of the world already sence something is happening. Just as we planned."

Light smiled and said, "They know someone is passing rightous judgement on the wicked."

Ryuk looked at us and said, "Oh?"

Light replied, "Human being are like that Ryuk. Although this would probably never happen in school, let's say students were asked if bad people deserved to die. Well you can bet everyone would give the politicaly correct answer. That's what they are bound to say. Of course that's the correct responce to give, right?"

I sat back and said, "Humans put on a front like that in public, but this is how they really feel. When they are in public they deny the existance of us, but when they are anonymous, support for Kira and Yaiba is growing."

Light smirked and said, "They maybe to afriad to admit it, but they know that someone or should I say some people are making the bad guys disapear. Those who have done no wrong, cheer for us, while the criminals run and hide fearing for their deaths. It's perfect!"

I heard the T.V. go quite for a moment and I turned to see what's going on.

A news ancor appeared and began to speak;

"We'd like to apolgize for the interruption."

"As of now we are bringing you a special live worldwide brodcast from the ICPO, Interpol."

I looked at Light and said, "Interpol? What's going on?"

He shrugged and said, "No clue."

I watched as the screen changed and a man sat at a desk with the name, 'Lind. L. Tailor' clearly printed on the tag.

He looked at the camera and began to speak;

"I head up an International Task Force of the ICPO and it's member nations. I am Lind. L. Tailor otherwise known as L."

"Criminals around the world are being murdered by not one, but two serial killers. I consider this to be the most atrocious act of murder in history."

"I will not rest until the people responsible are brought to justice."

"Kira and Yaiba... I will hunt you down... I will find you."

"He says he's going to find you two." Mercy said looking at us.

I smiled and said, "The fool, he'll never find us..."

I held up the Death Note and said, "He'll have to get this first and without this there is no evidence. So there is no way to catch us."

Light smiled and said, "We predicted this much."

L looked at the screen and began to speak again;

"Kira. Yaiba. I have a rather good notion why you are doing this and guess what you're trying to achieve..."

"However..."

"What you are doing right now is Evil..."

That sent a shock to my system.

I whispered, "You think, we're evil?"

Tailor smirked and Light yelled, "We are justice! We protect the innocent that fear evil! We are the men who will become Gods of the new world that everyone desires!"

I then yelled out, "Those who oppose these gods... They are truly evil!"

I opened my Death Note and wrote in big letters that took up half the page;

LIND. L. TAILOR

Light smiled and said, "I guess you're just too stupid... L. It would have been a lot more interesting if you were a bit smarter."

I smiled widely and said, "We'll show the world, what happens when you cross us. The entire world is watching... L."

Light and I watched as L, as he gripped his chest and fell to the desk dead.

Light and I began laughing at our success.

I smiled and said, "What's wrong? Got nothing else to say?"

We watched as L's body was carried away, and a Gothic letter 'L' appeared on the screen.

"I had to test this just in case but, I never thought it actually happen."

"Kira, Yaiba, it seems you can kill people without being there in person. I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't just witnessed it."

"Listen to me, both of you. The man you just killed, Lind. L. Tailor, I should tell you that he was an inmate scheduled for execution today. That was not me."

"The police arrested him in complete secrecy, so you wouldn't have heard about him on T.V. or the internet."

"It appears even you don't have access to these kinds of criminals."

"But I assure you, I do exist. L is real."

"Now try to kill me!"

"Dammit... Damn you L!" Light whispered as L, continued to yelled at us to kill him.

But no matter how much we wanted to...

The Death Note wasn't that powerful.

We need a name and a face...

And right now he has neither.

I whispered, "You bastard!"

He finally stopped and spoke again;

"Well Kira and Yaiba, it seems you can't kill me after all."

"So, there are some people you can't kill. You've given me a useful hint, let me return the favor."

"I'll tell you two something you'll find interesting. Although this was annoucned as a worldwide brodcast, the truth is we're only broadcasting in the Kanto Region of Japan."

"I had planned to brodcast this over different areas at different times, but it looks like that won't be nessary. I know where you two are."

"The police treated your first victim, Kumi Numi, but in actuality the first of your victims lived in Japan. Of all the criminals you two have killed, this one seemed the least serious. Furthermore, his crime was only ever reported in Japan."

"I used that information to deduce this much. You two are in Japan, and your first victim was an experiment meaning you two haven't been killing for very long. To be honest with you I never expected things to go this well. But it won't be long until I am able to sentence you two to death."

I am curious to how you two commit these murders, but I don't mind waiting a little longer. You can answer all of my questions when I catch you two."

"Let's meet again soon... Kira... Yaiba..."

Finally the transmission went dead and my fist were balled up in pure rage.

Light looked at the screen and said, "Really? He's going to sentence us to death? Sounds interesting."

I smirked and said, "We gladly except your challenge, L."

Mercy floated backwards and said, "So it's a game, first to discover the other's identity wins... And the loser, loses their life. Bound to be interesting."

I looked at her and said, "Oh it will be Mercy... But know this, L will fall at our hands."

L...

We will hunt you hunt you down where ever you are hiding and I will eliminate you!

I looked at my brother and said, "We are justice!"
