Authoress Note: Hello everyone, I'm Hatter and I'm here to bring you a very special fanfiction. It is dedicated to a usually cliché idea on the concept of a 'Life Note'. I'm aware there are probably very different variations; however I decided to take this idea to a different level. It will make you think differently about how the Death Note series could have gone if there was such a twist. Don't hesitate to let me know what you guys think.

Thank you!


Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. Death Note belongs to Tsugumi Ohba and Takashi Obata.


A Death Note is bestowed to every shinigami at least once in their lifetime. However, if Shinigami loses their Death Note in the realm of humans, it then becomes property of the mortal world. A Shinigami is able to retrieve their Death Note despite this contrary fact, but if a Death Note may take life would it not be right to say that there exists a different sort of Note that gives life?

There are many Death Notes, but there is only one Life Script. It can be used in the hands of the Shinigamis, only it would not be of much use considering that they are Gods of Death. Here, is an interesting set of rules applying to such a concept, that can and may counteract the effects of Death Notes. The Life Script is a white notebook, with black pages. Any color, ink, or graphite in a writing utensil will immediately turn white on the Life Script's infinite black pages.

The Rules Below all apply to the Life Script and its uses.

1. Any deceased person who has their name written within the Life Script may be brought back to life.

2. The Life Script's ethereal power disrupts the energy used in the Death Note; therefore a Death Note may not kill the human that is brought back to life by the Life Script again.

3. The Life Script may only work on a deceased person after a certain amount of time has passed. The time limit is one week (due to decay factors and decomposition on the bodies of the deceased. Depending on the use of the notebook and strength of the emotions within the user, some cases are made in exception though this is rare. A deceased person may return to life even if they are cremated or decayed beyond recognition. They shall be restored to their original selves as they had been in life).

4. If a Death Note is currently being used to kill a person, the Life Script may interfere and counteract the Death Note's power. The Death Note's act of killing is immediately ceased after the targeted person's name is written within the Life Script.

5. Should the Life Script and a Death Note page come into contact with each other, the page is immediately destroyed due to the Life Script's ethereal energy levels being higher than a single page from the Death Note. (i.e: a mere fragment of a Death Note page would disintegrate upon any sort of contact from the Life Script. An actual PAGE may last slightly longer but would have the same affects as the page fragment).

6. The Life Script can be destroyed, but upon its destruction by the one who destroys it, the destroyer's name immediately appears in a Death Note and thus they perish in the process (ultimately creating a double-edged sword concept).

7. A Shinigami may save a human's life with the Life Script without being sacrificed, unlike the Death Note (as seen with Gelus and Rem with Misa's life).

8. The Life Script extends the lifespan of the mortal user with or without returning it to its original place of origin (i.e: The Shinigami World and the Shinigami owner)

9: A time and date still apply when bringing one back from the death with the Life Script.

10: A Life Script may be used to save a Shinigami's life, but may result in the Life Script being destroyed in the process.
