Disclaimer: I do NOT own Death Note the series, but I did create the original characters contained in this series.

Note: This is a revised series. Things have been changed around from the original.

"What world is this, but one of nothing... No logic, no laws, no commitments that the people today really cherish... What good is this world, but a pointless commercial on the show of 'Life'..."

"The ones who live today sneer others about being moral, just, and righteous. Hypocrites. They aren't human.They are selfish, greedy little monsters who only fend for themselves and nothing more."

"Oh how I grow to despise this world and anyone in it..."

The bell rang through the crystal hallways of the school. As I just about to beat the crowd, the teacher beckoned me to stay for a short meeting with him. I had the state of mind pretend not to hear him and walk out, but just as I was about to take that action, the crowd hit and it would have been pointless to fight the hallway traffic.

Approaching the desk, I impatiently wait for his blathering to end. That was all school really was: teacher talking on, students barely listening; an institution of conformity.

"Mihari-San, yesterday I received your super attendant's transfer. It seems that the University accepted you under the conditions. My, I still don't believe it! Congratulations!"

I nodded, "Arigatou, Sensei. I thank you for your teachings but I should really-"

"No, there's more!"

I narrowed my gaze slightly, "Sensei, gomen nasai (I'm sorry), but my father is expecting me home and I'm just in a hurry to see him... " A lie flowed out from my lips without a worry. His gaze widened as he easily ate it up.

"Ah, sodesu..."

I nodded, the image of the black note book lingered in my mind. Even now, I could see it falling before my eyes.

"Kino, I have some interesting new for you... Something from the shinigami realm has entered the human wolrd. I'm sure you know the thing I'm speaking of..."

'I need to get to that book...'

The consequences of it falling to a will-less human could lead to troublesome situations on my behalf. There were already enough meaningless deaths as the world is, no need to multiply the mortality rate.

"Well, I just wanted to congratulate you on your early university acceptance to Tokyo University. Please always remember all that we have taught you here at this academy. Gomen for keeping you." He must have thought his speech was something special, but it was just the tenth rerun of the same show that day.

Nonetheless, I respectfully bowed to the teacher saying my polite responses before making my way out of the classroom. The halls were clear of crowds, but a few students were still in the process of cleaning duty.

I ran out to the court yards, but slowly came to a halt in the corner of a building. Someone was already crouching in the dark shadows of the building, reading the devil's book. My eyes strained to catch sight of their face, but the shadows made a mask of secrecy. I felt my heart slow as possible scenarios ran wild.

The person stood and the light slowly unveiled the shadows.

Without another breath, I took off along the path in steady strides. There would be no fooling around with him.

The silent streets echoes the foot falls of my feet. Typical walk home...

'The silence...'

I kept my gaze forward, my house was approaching, but something appeared before me.

"Hehe, boring day...?" A voice in which only I had the pleasure of hearing came forth. I let out a silent sigh, not even making the effort to gaze into the all-knowing eyes of the dead.

"Actually, just the reverse," I spoke softly.

"Oh, how so? I'm dying to know...! Hehehe..."

'Yeah, very funny...' I thought to myself.

"Later..."

"What! You're going to make me wait? Now come on Kino, that's not fun at all..."

I didn't reply, but fished my keys out of my school bag, opened the gate, and grabbed the mail. Making my way through the small pathway to the apartment, I ignored the taunts and faces that a certain something was giving me.

I reviewed the postal papers under my dark gaze, 'Seems as there was a recommendation letter sent.'

I eyed the University's insignia before taking out my key chain, once again and inserting it into the front door.

"I'm home...," I called out to the empty ibis.

'Oh, welcome home! How'd your day go? Oh it was boring a usual...'

I thought to myself, switching on the lights, now letting non natural light into the silent hallways of my home...

I hear the chilling laugh of the creature behind me.

'Now will you spill?' I shift my gaze to the death god, slightly. I was in a the privacy of my own home.

"The other shinigami that you mentioned, he left something behind..."

"Are you deaf?" I may have read his expression differently, but there was something more that amusement dangling in those large eyes of his...

"The worst person picked up the book." The light load of mail hit the cold counter top.

"And that would be...?"

There was an aura of curiosity gleaming around the floating figure. A smirk made it's was on my pale lips as I made my way over to the ice box.

"Well," I felt the ice breeze of the fridge, "you'll just have to find out."

I tossed a chilled apple over to the death god, who, in an instant, captured the green fruit with a greedy smile.

"Aww... You're no fun!"

"When am I ever..."

For those of you who have viewed this before, I am just revising the chapters because when I looked back on them I realized how much my style, grammar, and plot structure were off as the series progressed. So, I decided to revise the chapters a few at a time. At some point I will probably rewrite the entire thing, but at this moment I am just changing a few of the chapters around. Sorry, it might be a mess for a while but please bear with me.

I would love it if you would leave me a message, but if not them I understand. Thank you for taking the time to read my series.
