Flashback - A month and a half ago - July 18

How Harry and Light really met...

Number 4, Privet Drive, backyard

"Damn relatives! Damn friends! Damn Dumbledore!" Harry mumbled to himself as he roughly pulled out the weeds in his aunt garden. He was having a horrible holiday so far, his friends haven't owled him or responded to any of his letters, he couldn't get away from the house without an Order member telling him to go back to the house, and his relatives have been treating him worse then ever after finding out about Sirius's death from Dumbledore. His life officially sucks.

When Harry was done with the weeding, he began to trim the bushes when he noticed a thin, black notebook sticking out from the bushes. Harry curiously pulled out the notebook from the bush and saw the words 'Death Note' written in white on the cover. He was about the read the 'How to Use a Death Note' on the inside cover when his aunt began yelling at him to finish his chores. Harry quickly slipped the notebook into his shirt and continued with his chores, beginning to mutter about lazy aunts who couldn't do anything but make tea and spy on the neighbours.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Harry sighed as he flopped onto his bed, finally done with his chores and was now locked in his tiny room. He pulled out the notebook that he found and began reading.

"Rule one: The Human whose name is written in this note shall die. Rule two: 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. Rule three: If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen." (1) Harry continued to read the rest of the rules and finally finished reading and memorizing them a few hours later.

Harry sighed as he closed the book. "I wonder if this will really work." Harry said out loud to himself, "It might be for some prank or a prop."

"It's one hundred percent genuin, kid." A mysterious voice said suddenly. "Try it out if ya don't think I'm tellin' the truth."

"Who said that?" Harry said, now on guard, thinking that someone other than the Order got into his room.

The mysterious voice chuckled. "Don't worry, kid. I won't hurt ya since you got my book."

"Your book?" Harry looked around to find the source of the voice. "Who are you? Show yourself!"

"Okay, okay. Geeze." A tall man appeared through Harry's wall and waved at him. "'Sup" The man had long black hair that was tied back and long bangs that covered the left half of his face only showing his eerie, silver right eye. He had long, sharp black nails and wore a dark blue shirt and black ripped pants with chains hanging all over him. The most interesting thing about he man was that he had large black wings and pale blue skin. (2) "Well then. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kuro and I am a shinigami and the last owner of that Death Note."

"A shinigami? What's that?" Harry aske the shinigami curiously.

"A shinigami is a God of Death. We kill people by writing their names in that book," He indicated to the Death Note in Harry's hands, Aand if they have any life remaining, it gets added to our lifetime."

"So you came to get this back?"

"Nope." Kuro grinned, "It belongs to you now since you were the one to pick it up."

"Then why are you here." Harry asked.

"Firstly, since I was the previous own of that Death Note, I gotta hang around with you until you either give it up to someone else, throw it away, or you die. Secondly, it got boring in my world and I heard that another shinigami dropped his own notebook in the human world for kicks so I though it would be an interesting thing to do."

"But I thought you need it to extend your lifespan."

"You don't have ta worry 'bout that, kid. I still got about three hundred years in me." Kuro grinned again and floated next to Harry. "So, what are ya gonna go with it? Kill your enemies? Your annoying relatives downstairs?"

Harry sat at his desk and began to ponder on what he would do. "Well, I do have some enemies that I have to kill but that can wait until later. And if I kill my relatives now, it would be a little suspicious." Harry began to go through the list of rules I his head. "I'd like to test this thing out first." Taking out a pen, Harry began writing in the Death Note.

Park near Privet Drive - August 2nd

It's been two weeks since Harry gained ownership on the Death Note and he had already killed about twenty criminals in both the wizarding and muggle worlds. Kuro wasn't the least bit surprised when he found out about the wizarding since he could see the wizards and witches from his world. The only thing that shocked him was finding out that Harry was The Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived.

Harry was currently sitting at a park bench, finally discovering where, when, and who was watching him, with the help from Kuro after bribing him with some apples, and was able to slip out of the house without the Order finding out. Harry was writing out the death of Kimberly McCray, a crazed girl who killed other girls at her school for being prettier that her, and hand the Death Note hidden behind a magazine.

Kuro hovered behind Harry, munching on an apple and reading Kimberly's death. "You know you could just wirte their name and they'll die of a heart attack. You don't need to plan out the whole death." Kuro said to Harry for the fifth time as he finished his apple.

"I know that, Kuro." Harry said as he finished writing. "But like I said before, I'll get found out like that Kira guy in Japan and I don't want to have a battle of wits with L. Besides, It's fun this way."

Kuro chuckled. "Your pretty smart and cunning, you know. I'd never suspect it with your looks."

Harry smiled up at the shinigami, "Well, it's always good to have a mask or two."

"But then no one would know who you really are inside." A voice said, startling Harry. The guy chuckled as Harry glared at him. "I'm sorry, was I interupting your conversation with you imaginary friend?"

Harry glared at the tall brunette as he sat next to him on the bench. "You know, it's rude to listen to someone else's conversation, pervert."

"Pervert?" The older teen looked down at Harry. "What makes you think that I'm a pervert?"

"Well, I would have called you a stalker but you never follow me, you just stare at me and that is what perverts do."

"My apologies, I didn't mean to scare you." He bowed slightly to Harry. "You just seemed very interesting."

"Oh? And what is so interesting about me that would make you want to stare at me, Mr. Kira." Harry asked with a grin.

The older teen stared at Harry, "And what would make you think that I'm the killer Kira?"

"Well, not a lot of people here know about Kira, you keep glancing behind me like your expecting to see someone, you also tilt your head to the right a little like your listening to someone else, and you have a Death Note with you." Harry indicated to the black notebook that was peeking out from inside the book the older teen was holding."

The older teen looked down at Harry, surprised," How did you know that it was the Death Note?"

"I didn't, you just told me." Harry smirked. "And that just confirms that you are Kira."

Again, the older teen stared at Harry in suprise then chuckled. "I can't believe that I was outwitted by a twelve year old."

"I'm sixteen years old!" Harry huffed angrily.

The older teen held back a luagh. "My apologies." He pulled out his Death Note and held it out towards Harry. "I'm Light Yagami. Owner of the Death Note once belonging to the Shinigami Ryuki. I am also known as Kira. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Harry grinned and pulled out his Death Note, holding it out to Light who held it like they were shaking hands. Harry held onto Light's and introduced himself, "I'm Harry Potter. Owner of the Death Note once belonging to the Shinigami Kuro. Kira, that's an interesting nickname you have. I should get one myself. I know! My nickname is..."
