Kira Revolution

The Death Note

Hiyaz , that's my first Death Note story ! ^^ Hope you enjoy it !

Darkness . Only darkness was seen through her dark purple eyes . And though the ceiling lamps of this underground railway casted their bright artificial light in the railway's hall , she wasn't sure if she could see it.

Darkness. Darkness came to drown the underground train once more as it ran crazily on the rails through a pitch black tunnel. Just how tiresome it was , only listening to the noisy screeches of the wheels.

"Arrived in Tokyo ! Arrived in Tokyo !"

She lifted her eyes , invisible behind the purple hair bangs that hid them , and looked up to the sky , shining with the bright light of the sun . "Shit , I hate this brutal light." she said depressingly marching on to her way among all those people that waited under the traffic lights . With the corner of her eyes , she caught the glimpse of the enormous screen on the huge scyscraper and a noisy crowd watching up to it while talking to their cell phones frantically. The girl continued her way letting out an insolent 'hmf' at the sight of the latest , lamest and actually most common news .

"We have reports that another criminal was found dead just next to his most recent victims. Is this just a coincidence or another act of Kira ? The police ..."

If I hear anything else about this Kira , I'm going to do harakiri not only on myself but pursue everyone else to too.

The sky was now burning with the sun's flare as the day was finally on . Sitting on her desk , she felt this fire of sunrays darting her with its gentle touch while she herself refused to look around . She knew her surroundings pretty well . Her foolish classmates shouting all around , the professor of religion carrying on with his lesson not even understanding that no one payed any attention and stupid girls gossiping about no other than her .

"Oh my , what is she , a dog or something ? Look at her collar !" giggled one of them and they all began to guffaw along with her . "Did you know she was blond and dyed her hair like this ?" whispered someone else and the first annoying girl added "What kind of sane person would want purple hair the day we live in ?!"

The girl frowned and shut her eyes to cast their chasing giggles out of her mind . She didn't care about what they said , nor about what they did . But deep inside her , she couldn't help but cry for not being accepted in this vain and evil world .

"Yumikaze !"

All teenagers in the class started laughing hysterically at the sudden remark of their teacher to the sullen girl who looked at her teacher indifferently not even standing up. "Stand up and tell me how does God help the poor ." he said again , his bald head shining with the sun. The girl stayed still and looked outside as she told him quietly "Why ? Do you see him helping them ?" The professor glared at her angrily along with the whispering teens whose whisper became frantic yell at the shrill echo of the bell. Sluggishly standing up , she picked up her black school bag , which hanged from the shoulder like a purse and had silver spider-like webs sewed on it , and got ready to live when the professor stopped her with a fake cough . "I want to have a word with you , Yumikaze."

She was standing still in front of the teacher who held in his hands two pieces of white paper which he seemed to examine testingly behind his old-fashioned glasses. The girl was looking down all this time until the teacher lifted his eyes to her strictly . "Yumikaze , please explain yourself." he began making the girl bored and weary from the very first moment. "I have your IQ tests here and I see that your score is the highest that ever appeared in this school . 218 isn't a small number !" Her eyes were fixed on him just like his with the slightest difference being that she felt nothing for her presence there . His words meant nothing , they were just thin air of a distant echo. "You do have the brain to achieve great things in this school , yet you do nothing more than laying out philosophies that match with the way you dress . Really now ," he continued , taking off his glasses and rubbing them with a saten yellow handkerchief while looking at her from top to nails . "Is this a normal way for a girl like you to be dressed in ? Black colars , leather jackets , rings and ripped tights ? All this is a blasphymy !" A yawn was about to escape her but she held it inside her pretty well but not well enough for the man not to get enraged . "Yumikaze , you're seventeen !" he exclaimed with a sigh "Have you at least thought of what you're going to do with your life ?!" This time a depressing and distant nothing fell upon the silence as well as her dark purple eyes that starred outside absently. "No." she replied quietly and lowered her head as her professor went out furiously muttering incomprehensible things of rage.

The sun was shining again upon her , attempting with its warm smile to soften her pain but no response came from that girl , that freak of her world , that girl who payed the cost of loneliness for being different and not just another part of the whole. She walked out of the school building , going down the steps and letting herself exposed to the eyes of the younger children playing innocently in the yard , but not innocently enough to wonder how may that girl feel that their eyes were fixed on her as though she was some kind of failed experiment . "I hate this so much ." she said to herself as she went out and walked on the pavement , not seeing behind the purple strands of hair where she was going , until she felt someone's shoulder brush on hers brutally .

"Hirogaru yami no naka kawashiatta kakumei no chigiri

Aishita yue ni mebaeta aku no hana..."

"Excuse me , is that your cellphone ?" called a voice behind her . The sudden relief she felt from her already heavy leather jacket made her understand that she dropped it...but the sound of her ringtone made her comprehend that someone was calling her ... Mom. "Nightmare's 'The World' (A/N ; Death Note's first opening song ! XD ) ... I have the same ringtone as you ." she heard the young man's voice say behind her "Hey , it's ringing , don't you want it back ?" Not knowing the man's face , she continued her way , uttering carelessly "I don't care."

______________________________________________________________

The velvet black of the nightsky had fallen just like a blanket on this bed called 'world'. The stars had completely disappeared from this beauty along with the shade of the pale moon. The only light showing her the way in this downward slope surrounded by houses with big yards was the light of the tall street lamps on the pavement . The wind's blow and the leave's rustle breathed along with her , sensing the presence of another burdening death ...by the hands of this Kira.

She went down the slope carefully fearful of falling with just a wrong step and put her hands in her jacket's pockets : it felt so awkward having the right one empty ... she had already missed listening to her songs ... "Sigh ..." she did and closed her eyes sadly as she walked down . Lifting her sight up to the enlightened black , she left out another sigh , wondering why was everything so lame ... "Gimme a break ..."

"AAAARGH !!! IT'S THERE !!!"

"Huh ?" she did in shock and turned around looking at a grown-up man running out of an alley insanely and going pass her , screaming along the way "NO !!!". She stepped back to avoid him but she couldn't help but feel a sweatdrop running down her forehead . "Wh-what happened ?!" she asked in shock and jolted back from the man's sudden response "Th-The book !" he shouted and kept running in fear "Th-they're here !" With that said , he disappeared in the blurr of the road's horizon , leaving the girl there to face the uknown...

A sudden gulp went down her throat and a cold chill ran down her spine while even colder sweat ran on her ... "Why do they always get the coward to handle those stuff ?..." she whispered to herself with a trembling voice , shrugging her shoulders in a tense of hiding . Her feet felt so heavy , burdened from fright , that she felt she couldn't move them ... She felt the urge to drop her bag and start running just like that man but a futile clench of her fists brought her back to her logic. "Why am I doing this ?!" she whispered as she went towards that alley , a gasp following at the strange sight of what looked like a large shadow over the ordinary house . Another gulp followed her moving towards that sinister place and the reflection of darkness was carved on her purple eyes that were already scarred with the fear of this challenge . "Wh-what is this ?" she asked in surprise at the shadows swarming the home . Suddenly , a formidable shrill scream ripped the silence of that night , a scream that sent a chill down her spine just like the ringing of an alarm clock . Her eyes widened and her body felt numb , unable to move ... "Move , damn it !" she shouted , clinching her teeth , and finaly finding the courage to run away .

The scenery changed rapidly around her , the trees became houses and the lamps became bushes and the only sound her skull-shaped earring wearing ear could grasp was the sound of her beating heart and her panting breath. Her feet screeched on the pavement and she ran quickly to the white door of her three-stock house , cursing her trembling hands for being unable to put the key in the bronze lock. The key with the cross keychain fell on the floor the instant she got in the house and slammed the door behind her , panting and panting with exhaustion running through her veins ... when she heard familiar but hateful voices in the kitchen.

"Yozora , I didn't expect her to be so late !" complained a manly voice and then the woman named Yozora responded angrily "Hetsuyu , I didn't expect you to come here either !"

The seventeen year old girl walked slowly through the cozy hallway and appeared in the door of the kitchen , looking at the two people emotionlessly . "Hello , Dad , Mom." she greeted carelessly and got ready to walk away when her father's welcoming voice echoed behind her as his firm hand wrapped around her bracelet-covered wrist . "Alice , you see your old man after a whole month and you don't sit here with me ?" he said in a cool manner , flashing her a smile that revealed his white teeth , something that caused her utter disgust .

A weird tension flew among the three of them , mother , father and daughter . Sitting at the head of the table , Alice gave that shady character called 'father' suspicious looks , letting her gaze drift to her nervous and twitching mother who was blatantly the most displeased of all as regarding this unexpected visit. "Look at you , Alice..." Hetsuyu said all of a sudden with a pseudo-caring voice , extending his hands towards his disgusted daughter "Don't you think you should stop being in this 'black' phase ?" Alice raised an eyebrow and tried to get up but her father pulled her down again , turning towards Yozora "You're her mother , don't you say anything ? You're completely irresponsible!" he added , raising his tone and her mother stood up instantly "Me ?!" she shouted in shock "You're the one who got out with other women and started doing robberies !"

"Shut up please ..." whispered Alice , hiding her remorseful eyes behind her purple strands of hair . I feel it ... I have a migraine again ... "I am almost seventeen , I have the right to dress the way I want !" she protested banging ehr hands on the table . Her father clinched his teeth and glared at her with a furious frown "You have no such right as long as you're under this roof !" he shouted "Go to your room , now !" But Alice raised an eyerbow and crossed her arms , saying with poisonous irony "This is not your house , Dad ." This time , Yozora glanced at both of them anxiously , her hand brought to her chest in self-protection . "This is your doing !" Hetsuyu yelled at her while pointing at their 'rude' daughter "You turned her against me !"

Alice's vision turned black all of a sudden ... She stood there , still , not moving an inch , listening to their voices .. Her mother was looking at that man weakly , shouting at him to go away while he was constantly yelling at her ... unbearably ... "She's too weak ..." she whispered under her breath , not sure why she was saying those things "And he's like all of them ..."

"Is he so useless ?!"

Both of her parents turned towards her in shock and surprise at this sudden outburst of rage from their daughter's part . She was clinching her teeth and had her fists balled in a silly attempt to prevent a river of tears from falling "Why hasn't Kira killed you already !?" she yelled at her father , backing off towards the wall "Why is he so useless that he has killed all other criminals apart from you ?!"

The sound of a slap echoed in the small kitchen room and then a loud bump followed by a girlish fearful scream . "Little bitch , is that the way of talking to your father !?" shouted the enraged Hetsuyu over his daughter's fallen body while Yozora pointed at the door "Go out now , Hetsuyu ! Now !" she shouted among her unstoppable sobs and her x-husband looked at her in surprise . "I come home after so many moths and you order me out !? You've got a lot of nerve , separating me from my family !" But her mother let out a drown in tears shriek as she buried her face in her hands "You don't fool me ...!" she cried , daring to look at him in his honey-coloured eyes and poking him on his chest , covered with heavy golden chains "You came here to ask for money ! To use us !"

Meanwhile , a certain girl was staggering to get up from the floor , her wrists trembling violently and the wound on her cheek hurting like hellfire . "Ugh.." she did in pain and turned her eyes behind to look at the scene of their fight which only leaded to a small knot in her heart . I can't stand them... Alice got up , staggering a little , and went out of the kitchen without anyone noticing her breakaway and headed up the narrow stairs , surrounded by suffocating beige walls . She knew that at the end of those stairs was her room , her sanctuary from all this hell happening around . Reaching the top , she untied off her wrist a black ribbon with a tiny key hanging from it and unlocked the white door that read with black painted letters 'Arisu'. (A/N ; Her name in Japanese is pronounced Arisu and I liked the sound of it !!! ^^).

Alice got in with a sigh as soon as she locked the door again as though hiding something in there ... She dropped her school bag carelessly , causing a loud sound and a few books as well as her black , purple ribbon decorated pencil case to fall out of it. Her gaze stopped on the simple bed which she had painted black herself and approached it , flopping on the black covers with the rose prints in relief. Her gaze starred at her grey sky called ceiling emptily , her hands twitching as if they could feel the pain on her cheek . She could feel a tiny river of blood flowing from the scratch . Now I see why he wears those huge rings ... she thought to herself , touching it and licking the warm liquid from her fingers with disgust . She looked at her surroundings, seeming like searching for something. The black curtains were embracing the closed windows , preventing the pale moonlight from coming in ; the only light in that black room was the artificial light of the cartoon-skull shaped lamp (A/N : Like Jack Skellington ^^) on the old white desk that held her dropped books and sketches as well as her black diary with the silver spiderweb dressing. A white bookcase that reached to the ceiling stood next to the desk but hardly no books were there , at least no school books . It was filled with fantasy-centered books like the well-known 'Lord of the Rings' but the books that dominated that wooden structure were books of mysterious unsolved cases that called for a mastermind to solve them. However , her gaze stopped on the large poster that covered the black of her wall which showed the face of a beautiful blonde girl dressed gothicly . Misa Amane read the poster with bright white letters. I still don't know why I have this poster here .... She's a doofus !

She stood up and reached for her desk , looking down at the things left on it untidily . She took a plain white book with an Old English 'L' in her hands and flopped on the chair reading the first page which she closed automatically after realising that she couldn't bring herself to reading something , she simply wasn't in the mood. "Sorry , L ," she groaned , leaving it on the desk "I'm not in the mood..." She tilted her head behind and began doing cyrcles on the black cair with the small wheels , closing her eyes and enjoying the air that hit her pale face , chilling the small blood flow.

In her mind , the sound of her ringtone echoed , reminding her of that day , that day she first regarded as usual . The Kira murders , her classmates , her professor's scolds ... everything was usual until she dropped her cell phone . And a man she was foolish enough not to look at took it ... From that point on , her day altered completely . Her father , one of the richest and most elusive criminals of all stopped by only to shout at her and her mother and as regarding Yumikaze Yozora , she'd probably given him the money by now. Another inwardly sigh escaped here as she kept spinning and spinning with a vain hope of this air to take all her thoughts away . Her father , that man , that aura ... That darkness in that house...

Alice opened her eyes abruptly , standing up like some kind of ressurected dead . She walked forward aimlessly , picking up her bag from which fell two more books the moment she picked it up. The door opened with a screech and her steps on the stairs mixed frighteningly with her mother's continuous sobs in the living room . Her purple eyes glanced at the woman's leaned back on the sofa , crying and wetting her soft cheeks with tears . Without paying any more attention to this pitiful creature she opened the door ... and gasped at the feeling of remorseless raindrops pouring on her . With her mind , she saw the white door behind her being closed and lowered her sight as she went down the white steps of the porch and continued her way in that domestic avenue swarmed by ordinary homes and tall birch trees.

Her hair fell wet on her shoulders , the tiny waterdrops slipped from the leather of her jacket to the stony pavement , cold chills ran through her . Still , she kept going on without knowing why or how . She had taken the decision ...that if she didn't see what was going on with that place then she wouldn't find a way to have her mind in peace.

The small steps stopped in front of an ordinary house next to other ordinary houses. Nothing was abnormal ....or at least that's what seemed to be because night was still on , hiding this dark aura in its own blackened core. A shudder of fear and that was all she could do in front of this bizarre sight . "That's it ." she uttered under her breath and opened the metal small gate of the fence , getting in the oddly nice garden . An unexperienced fear was reflected in that deep purple of her big eyes as she refused to look next to her and laid her hand on the bronze knob of the dark green door. She let out a quiet gasp at the sudden opening of the door she obviously didn't expect and soon found herself in a room filled with roaming darkness , a darkness that encyrcled the fading light of an iron office lamp on a desk covered with papers and small notes of emptiness. She stepped forward in fear and looked at the small pieces of paper , picking up one and starring at it trying to make sense of it. "A blank piece of paper ...?" she asked herself struggling to figure the reasons behind the whole scene.

"Th-They're here !!"

That pitiful man's screams echoed in her puzzled mind , adding to the strangeness of the mystery. There was a loud cracking sound that made Alice jolt and look behind . "Wh-What was that ?!" she gasped , breathing heavily . "Oh , it was just a thunder..." she pointed out , noticing the silver lightnings but , turning towards the desk , she raised an eyebrow at the view of a black closed notebook laid on it .

"Th-The book !!"

"The book ..." she whispered and extended her hand towards it , wrapping her fingertips around this sinister object . "Death Note ?" she read out loud , raising an eyebrow at the silly title . "As in , 'Notebook of Death' ? What a lousy prank !" she groaned and let it fall on the desk , blinking as it opened . Though convinced that it was all just a plan of that man to become famous on Gags TV , she couldn't help but sit on the wrecked wooden chair and begin reading it voraciously . White letters , phrases and sentences were carved on her eyes as they moved from line to line , page to page .

"So ...if I write the name of a person here ...he dies ?" she asked with a gasp , backing off from the ominous notebook. She held it at a distance away from her with her trembling hands , whose shiver made her braceletes with the metal skulls cling . "I..this is the most annoying prank ever ." she snorted leaving it back and opening the door with a slam.

"You can't leave now !"

The door closed with a slam without her doing so and the moonlight left the room once again , leaving it even darker than before for an uknown reason . Spontaneous shivers flew threw her , turning around in unexplained fear . "Who are you ?! Show yourself !" she shouted in a struggle to gather up courage but shrieked when a lightning revealed the horrible face of a sinister monster . Her eyes widened at his sight , her feet moved back and away from it and she brought her hands to her eyes in an attempt of hiding the sight while she whispered between sobs "It's a dream , just a dream , you'll wake up in your room and that's all !"

"It's not a dream and you won't wake up in your room ." echoed the monster's voice weirdly near and she opened her eyes only to see it right in front of her through a blurr of tears. "Gee ! From all humans I've met you're the most cowardly of all !" it said , causing her another shiver as it brought out a grey big hand that whipped away her tears together with the scattered by the rain blood of her scratch. "Now ," it said with a bright smile that revealed sharp vampire like teeth "Why don't you relax and sit ?" Unable of moving she gulped and starred at it in shock , nodding quickly.

What kind of monster is that ?!... she thought to herself as they sat opposite of each other , she looking at it curiously while it was devouring a huge cake that that man had probably left behind . Telling me to relax and sit and all those other shit ? Her purple eyes scanned it examingly , struggling to adapt to the idea of such a creature being near her. It had a grey body that woul look almost humane if it wasn't for the largeness of his hawk-like hands and feet. An 'X' of bright silver thread formed on his grey chest and behind his stiff back, two large silver bat wings came out , curled for the moment as being constricted in a small room called for it. A black spike collar cyrcled his neck and his skin was ghostly white , being greatly opposite with the black of his long hair that seemed to fly behind him and scatter like shadows. However , his facial characteristics didn't seem much different from an ordinary twenty year old handsome man's . As he threw down the silver paper of the now extinct chocolate , she could make out that he had sinister silver eyes and what should be white was black while he had around his eyes what seemed like black eyeshade. Alice raised an eyebrow at the whole image when suddenly the monster let out a quiet burp .

"So , girly , what's your name ?" he asked in a friendly way that opposed with it's monstrous structure and made her jolt of fear . A small sweatdrop ran down her forehead as she played with her fingertips. "What's yours ?" she asked courageously and the moster left out a loud annoying cackle "Ho ho ho! Looks like little girly's trying to play macho !" he laughed and Alice crossed her arms , struggling not to let out one of her 'nice' words. "Well , my name is Shado." he added in an aloof tone and a cool smirk . Alice looked at him with eyes rolled , wondering why the hell was she always the one to get tangled in such weird things. "Mmm...my name is Yumikaze Alice." she replied after a few seconds of deep thought . "Oh , a nice name , mademoiselle !" he commneted and took her delicate hand in his own large one caressing it and causing a strange feeling of sympathy towards him . A sweatdrop of uneasiness ran down her forehead but then she caught the glimpse of that weird notebok on the desk , reminding her of the reason why she was about to leave . " 'Tis a prank , isn't it ?" she asked Shado seriously but he replied with a smirk . "If that's a prank , then I , Shinigami Shado , am a prank too !"

Alice began to grasp the situation with all the realism and seriousness inside her over-mature mind ... "You mean that Shinigami exist ...?" she asked reluctantly and frowned at his nod . "And that book ..." she added and pointed at it with her other hand . "...can really kill ?" Shado nodded again with a crafty smirk , seeing how the girl had started to grasp the truth behind it . Alice looked down at her lap with widened eyes ...

If it can really kill ....

Kira... Is this how Kira kills ? ...

And if I can kill with it ... the Death Note ... can take my revenge from the world ?...

Kill them ...

"You seem drown into the hesitation of whether to use it or not !" he pointed out . She lifted her eyes towards him and the Shinigami noticed the hateful frown in her eyes , a hate he was sure it was there previously but not so prominently ... "Is there something I should know about it ? The Death Note...?" Shado tilted his head back to pay more attention to that reburning flame in her cold purple eyes wondering if she'd really take the risk like that . "Why ?" he asked "Would you really do it just like this ?"

But Alice's cold eyes remained as cold as ever . "You Shinigami would never do something like this without exchange ." she stated , closing her eyes seriously "So , is there something I should know ?"

Shado smirked cunningly and closed his eyes as well . Smart girl !... "Yeah ! If you use the Death Note ..." he said with a sinister voice that made her shiver though she wanted to be as firm as possible "...you won't be able to go either to Heaven either Hell !"

A crack of a lightning ripped the silence of the night ...

"Would you take the risk ?" he asked cunningly observing the girl's anxious movements , trying to take her hand out of his , both of them being cold . Her purple eyes darted the floor , lost in their own world , in their own fake image...Would I really do it ?...

All my life ... I wanted to change the world ... I didn't wish its purification ...I jsut wished that I could reshape it ... so that people who refuse to be part of the whole , people who are regarded as different ...could live happily ...

I thought I ... could do this by becoming a politician ... or by becoming an activist ... but they were futile dreams for which I threw away my impeccable dream of becoming a detective ... like L ....

And now ...

"And now ..." she uttered as though she was thinking out loud . Shado raised one of his two silver eyebrows as he waited for an answer by that girl who had begun to twitch ... by excitement ... or fear ? "And now I have the chance given to me by this book ! And it has such a payment ..." she continued and looked at him in the eyes , a sight that made his not-existing heart to break . Tears were blurring her cold eyes that , for some weird reason , didn't reflect any sorrow ... "Shado ." The Shinigami let go of her porselain hand , both standing up and looking at each other as she took the Death Note in her hands. "I'll use the Death Note when I find it the right place and time ." The Shinigami shuddered by her words , starring at that fiery gleam in those purple eyes in which he hoped he could get lost forever ...

"I'll have them pay !"

That's for 1st chappie ! ^^ Thank you all !

I wanted to add that Alice is the name of my mom and that Alice-chan here is actually the most true reflection of me ! ^^ Believe it !
