Lily: Hi, everyone!

Daemon: Why are you always so hyper?

Lily: Why shouldn't I be? Now people can read my story!

Daemon: I'm part of you, shouldn't that make it partly my story?

Lily: You WANT to be part owner? It's got romance...

Daemon: O.O Nevermind! Forget I asked. But you don't own Death Note.

Lily: So enjoy, please! :D

Rem's PoV

"Doko." The Japanese word for "where." It came out as more of a statement than a sentence. Kayo didn't usually talk, and when he did, he usually only spoke a few words. I'd been watching Japan recently, so maybe he felt it was appropriate to speak a little of their language, but I can't be sure. There's no telling what goes through his mind.

"Japan," I responded, using no more words than Kayo had. The Shinigami remained emotionless.

~*Earlier*~

"Why today? She looks so healthy. It's… it's just not fair," cried Gelus. The puppet-like Shinigami was curled around his legs, staring into the portal to the human world. In view was a young blonde girl, her life-span almost at its end. As a man much older than the girl came into view, he seemed to be begging her for something. Now scared, the girl shook her head and tried to run away, but the man pulled out a knife. Instantly, Gelus also pulled out his Death Note.

"No, Gelus!" I shouted, shocked, but he didn't pay me any heed. Quickly writing the man's name down, he collapsed a short forty seconds afterward. As the man's life faded, so did Gelus's. He started to glow with an eerie light, particles floating off him, before he began to crumble into a material that was neither sand nor bone. The blonde girl ran from the scene as I watched her life-span increase fast from the life Gelus had just given her. The girl's name: Misa Amane.

~*Present*~

I was about to dive through the portal when I noticed Kayo still standing beside me.

He was only slightly shorter than I was, covered in thick brown fur with odd dark blue markings, like stripes in places. His head, limbs, tail, and basic build were similar to an Earthly wolf's but his stance was bipedal and hunched. From his shoulder blades sprouted large dragon-like wings the he was keeping folded up at the moment making them look like spikes of two drastically different lengths on each shoulder. Four large claws came from each paw and two fangs hung from his upper lip.

Kayo followed me around most of the time, but I hadn't a clue what he might be doing when he wasn't there. I've considered him almost like a younger brother since I'd found him, but he never speaks of his past from before then, not that he speaks of much at all. Though you might get the impression that he's dim-witted because of his lack of speech, I think he's actually quite cunning. He's come into possession of a second Death Note since merely the time I got Gelus's, but no one knows where he got it, myself included.

"Why are you still here?" I asked him, wondering why he hadn't gone back to be with the other Shinigami. There wasn't exactly a city, but they typically hung out together in one area.

"I'm coming," he answered.

"No you're not. You know Shinigami can't stay in the human world unless they're planning on killing a certain human!" He was smarter than that, I was sure. Reaching behind him, he pulled out the Death Note he'd mysteriously obtained. A sweat drop fell down the side of my head. Of course. That's why I'm going down as well. He must have had SOME reason to get it. It makes sense now. "Who, then?" I asked, curious as to who he planned on giving the notebook to.

"Her twin." Arisa Amane? Would that be wise? To give a pair of Death Notes to twins? Oh, well. It's not like I stood a chance at trying to change his mind. Once Kayo got something into his head it stuck like super glue.

I shook my head and rolled my eyes. "Whatever, but you know you're going to be responsible for her. Let's go."

Lily: Did you like the first little part? If you're willing to wait a couple minutes, I'll have the next part up!

Daemon: The next quite a few parts, don't you mean?

Lily: Yep! I've got about 25 pages on word, so that's quite a few chapters already!

Daemon: Why didn't you post this earlier?

Lily: I forgot. ^_^

Daemon: Of course....

Lily: Next part up as soon as I can figure this thing out.... I'm a n00b.

Daemon: You're not supposed to call yourself a n00b, you know.

Lily: So? You care about me? Aww, that's so sweet! *hugs*

Daemon: No, it's just that by you calling youself a n00b, you're calling me a n00b, too. Now get OFF!
