While reading a deathnote manga she is sent into the deathnote world, before the Kira case. How will the presence of this new girl change the storyline? She knows all the information but will she be able to use it as she is suppose to? Or be caught up?

How Did I get Here?

Chapter 9

School Classes

Author's Note: Yeah… sorry about that… I forgot I finished chapter 8 and updated that.. Now I'm on chapter 9… story hasn't got too far… hm… Well there's classes and stuff…. I'll probably have to go to 5,000 word count of just a chapter so I don't feel that I'm just going on and on… We do need Kira… lol anyway…. For the Future…. How would you feel about some L and Light Yaoi….? Yes…? No…? Maybe so….? And a girlfriend for Matt…? That's not Misaki lol and also, you might not to read further if you haven't finished Deathnote… just saying… I mention some things sometimes. Also for the time period in deathnote I'll using the dates from the Anime since the years are shifted 3 years later, mostly for the main reason of it would go more with the current years, plus the more recent music. Who else would like to hear Light sing Set fire to the rain by Adele or them dancing to Gangnam Style, it's just more fun to play with along with the more advance technology I could use in the fanfic and all.

***Karin Shingami***

Arriving to the class Watari opened the door for me and left. The teacher then looked over and spoke, "Ah, you're the new student then. Alright, get on computer 23 and the password and user names you will need are on the board." He explained as he pointed to the computer then the board. "So far you're like five minutes early, so just chill or like go on with the assignment. Whatever you feel like," the teacher shrugged as he played with the swish ball in his hands.

"Mk," I nodded as I went over to my seat. "So does the computer thing just tell me what to do?" I asked.

"Well, ya basically. When you finish that, you can let me know. The rest of the class is finishing it up. Then we move on to video editing, how to set up bugs, and later on in the year if I feel like it, I'll teach the basics of hacking, or how to make virus or something. But so far Roger's all against it," he shrugged.

"Ha, sounds like a fun class then," I smiled as I turned the computer on. Maybe it won't be too hard..? "Oh, by the way, you are …" I trailed as I took out my schedule and looked to the class. "Mr. Marco."

"Yup," the teacher, or should I say nodded. He has really, really blue eyes and brown hair and glasses too! He seems kinda young, somewhere in his 20's I'm guessing. I turned the computer on and Mr. Marco spoke, "You'll have to make a folder for yourself to store what you did and also catch up with the rest of the class."

"Ah, okay." I replied, makes sense and all. I signed on and made a folder thing and started on the first thing. Then as I did that I heard the bell ring for the switching of the classes. At least I don't have to like…. Talk to them, geez I sound anti-social haha…

About maybe a minute or two I could hear the footsteps of the other students along with mumbling going on. Great,… make me feel welcomed… Whatever…

I continued reading the instructions and did was asked and all that good stuff.

"Hey Karin," I looked up, to find a familiar red head smiling.

"Hey Matt," I smiled back.

"So you're in this class now?" he asked as he sat in the seat next to me.

"Yup," I nodded then stopped. "Mello isn't going to be in this class right?" I asked, personally I just don't feel like dealing with him at the moment, he was much better when I watched him from my tv man.

Matt chuckled, "Nah, you're safe. I would have worried about that."

"Yeah…" I nodded.

"SO.. hows your face…..?" Matt asked.

"Wait?" I didn't get it… then I understood it, I totally forgot about that bruise on my cheek…

"Well," I started. "Completely forgot about it, until you reminded me." I stated.

"Ah, sorry."

"Nah it's cool. Does it look that bad?" I asked.

"Eh, it's like a purple, black color." Matt explained.

"Ew?" I questioned like seriously… then again I have looked in the mirror since like this morning.

"If you think so," Matt shrugged as he turned his assigned computer on and logged on.

"Just look, you even said its all purple and black plus its super visible on my face." I stated. "I'll never get a cute boyfriend." I laughed looking away with my right hand over where my heart would be. "Forever alone," I shook my head.

"Oh yeah," Matt rolled his eyes as he worked. "Take a look at the class will you?" So I did, looking by each chair I caught some of my classmates eyes but they quickly turned away, rude much… "Their…" I kept looking around. "…All guys…?" I almost questioned it.

"Yup, so you're all good." Matt smiled. I sighed,

"Sure, I am…" I trailed as I went back to the computer. Overall the class was pretty quiet with the exception when I asked the teacher or Matt about the computer thing. Computers aren't my friends because they really don't like me, since they crash all the time but these computers are guaranteed not too, so that's good… Which somehow reminds me, how many years until Kira shows up, I have to continue with these classes until that… I can't tell whether that's good or not…

"Karin," Matt called again.

"Huh, yeah?" I asked, my bad I was lost in thought.

"Class is over. What do you have next?" he asked while logging out or something. Along with that he took his goggles off, maybe it protects his eyes? Oh well I took my schedule out and looked on it.

"I have a sports class then gym." I told him. "By the way, what does it mean by Sports class?" I asked as we started heading out.

"Since we don't have after school sports going on, that class you pick a sport and do it for the period. It's for the more athletic people unlike me, who is more of a computer kind of guy." Matt explained.

"Ah okay sounds like fun." I commented.

"Mello has that too and then we all have gym together."

"Alright, the first thing doesn't sound fun." I frowned. "But it's separated cause you pick a sport right?" I asked.

"Yeah, Mell's doing soccer so just don't pick that." Matt warned as he stopped. "Here's your class," he stated.

"Cool, thanks."

"Then for gym just go across the hall to that door." Matt pointed out. I looked over and nodded.

"Okay, will do. Again thanks."

"No problem," he smiled as he went to his next class. I walked into the room. And looked for the first teacher I saw, which was a woman who looked about 30 something.

"Excuse me, but where do I go? I'm new." I stated.

"Good," the teacher smiled "I was wondering who you were. So let me see your schedule." I pulled my schedule out and handed it to her. She looked through and then handed it back to me.

"Okay, follow me. I'll show you to the girl's locker room." She instructed. So I followed her to the other side of the gym and to the locker room which was half filled with girls changing.

"So can you play with those clothes?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." I answered her.

"Okay good, tomorrow bring a pair of gym clothes and you'll place your things over in this locker." She pointed to one labeled 1530. "From now on this will be your locker as long as you're in Whammy's." She explained as she wrote something down then gave me a slip of paper with the locker number and combination. "You'll use this for both this class and gym."

"Okay." I nodded.

"Now, most of the sports are filled so I'll have to see what are available." She stated as she walked to where I'm guessing is her office. The room wasn't that big, it is just for gym class so that might explain it… Showed me the paper of what was left to be filled. The sports that I could actually go into was, swimming , golf, and soccer. Damn. I can't really swim that well, golf is okay I guess, when I can actually hit the ball, then there's soccer… Mello's in that class… And I really don't feel like dealing with him just yet…

"Are these all of them?" I asked, maybe I could squeeze into a different one or something.

"That can take more players? No sorry you sign up for a different sport or the same one each quarter of the year." She explained.

"AH, alright…. For swimming, do I have to be a strong swimmer?" I asked.

"Hm.. not really You could just improve it and just have fun but we do test you on the basics. Along then with other things." She sort of explained.

"Alright, that's good enough. I'll do swimming then." I shrugged, it's fun getting in a pool so I really don't mind or anything, lol.

Moments later she signed me up and showed me to the pool room, which was like on the girl's side of the locker room just go down the hall and make a left. She talked to the pool teacher and marked in and probably other stuff I dunno so whatever. I'm guessing I don't have to go in today since I really didn't know but I have I bathing suit I think. I got it with the clothes. During the period I just watched the other students do their thing which wasn't that bad. The ages went from like 14-16 which was cool… I guess… lol I sound boring don't I? Well it's not like I can do anything really….

After what felt like hours later, I fell asleep again too by the way, the class ended and I walked out and to the gym room. There was a male teacher there, looking at my schedule I yelled out,

"Mr. Smith?!" The male teacher looked back to me.

"Yes?" he answered as he looked back. He looked like he was in his twenties somewhere and he's a hazel eyed blonde….. Lol sounds like a racial slur or something... I'm so funny…

"I'm Karin, I'm now in your class starting today." I told him. He nodded his head and he looked through his attendance sheet and added me in or at least that's what it seems like.

"So you can just stand here until I finish attendance then I'll place you in your squad. Right now we just started a volley ball tournament so, you can just join in with whichever team or I can place you in one, which ever you want." He told me as he did attendance. Looking around I waited for the other students to finish changing as they came none of them really caught my eye, but one of the girls had red hair, which reminded me of matt's.

Well speak of the devil; he's over there talking to Mello….ugh…. Oh well whatever. Matt waved over and I waved back with a smile. He's a nice guy and all. Even though in the anime he had little to no screen time, smoked and died but still… He's a nice guy…

I felt a glare burning a hole in me, and damn it didn't feel good. The boys sat down and Mr. Smith did what he does, checking that attendance and all that then told me I'll be sitting down behind some brown haired boy, named Jamie. He looked pretty athletic green eyes, nice looking shorts, wife beater on… as you can tell he's pretty damn cute. While sitting I looked around at the class once more, I looked over to Matt who sat in the row next to me.

"Well hi again." I waved at him, so ignoring Mello.

"Hey," Matt smiled. "You should join our group," Matt suggested.

"Sure, sounds like fun." I smiled as the rest of the class stood up and got into different groups.

"Karin," Mr. Smith called.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"You're joining the group, Rangers," Smith ordered as he pointed over to the group of boys on his left.

"Ah, but I was going to join Matt's group," I told him.

"That group already has 9 members while Rangers has just 5." Smith explained.

"AH, alright…" I nodded.

"Damn… Well maybe next time?" Matt asked.

"Yeah," I nodded back. "Well, talk to you later than." I told him as I waved him goodbye. Matt left and joined his group while I went to him. The boys seemed pretty normal.

"Hey, I'm Karin." I waved. "I'll be joining your group."

"Alright you can be in the middle then," Jamie stated.

"Okay…" I stated as I walked over to the middle of the area thing.

"SO, how much trouble did you get from getting in a fight with Mello?" some boy asked randomly. How the hell did he know…

"How the hell did you know?" I asked.

"It's Whammys, and you're the new kid. Of course everyone would know." He snickered.

"Oh that's just great." I rolled my eyes. "So what are your names?" I asked.

"Well I'm Jamie as you know." He winked. "That's, Kart, Haru, Grim, and Dexy." He stated.

"Well than…" I smiled. "You got odd names, the only normal one is Haru." I laughed. "I like Dexy, it's pretty cool."

"It's Dexy, cause I'm Sexy." Dexy laughed.

"Go find a hobby," Jamie rolled his eyes.

***No P.O.V***

Now Dexy is an odd one. As you know there are normal children at least deemed normal to society then, other children and then Dexy. At age 16 he ranks as number 20 and his sexuality is questionable even to him at times. Having his bangs at the side and his hair dyed purple he did stand out from the group. His choice of clothing could go either way, typically unisex clothes though.

"I already have one," Dexy laughed.

"Bothering me isn't a hobby." Jamie rolled his eyes. "Queer."

"Hey!" Dexy yelled back at him. "I'm hurt," he frowned.

"Kart any input?" Jamie asked.

"No." he stated. Kart ranked number 45, age 17. More of a silent type, keeps to himself and such. Black hair, dark eyes, and tall. Haru and Grim both tie for rank 50 more than half the time. Haru is Korean, not Japanese, despite the alias of his choice. Grim could have been called a loner, but considering the group he met, he no longer can be called such. He is blunt, never 'sugar coats anything,' but that's just how he is really. Also, he has brown eyes and green hair. So far from what is known, Whammy's is a colorful place. You have the Orange, Purple, Green, and Red heads. Along with other children who we haven't introduced or even care about yet.

The gym class continued as normal. Karin socialized with her teammates and became friends with them. The Rangers won a total of two games out of the three they had. Revenge will be taken against the team, Kilopolis. Afterward she went and hung out with Matt despite the hate for Mello at the time. Then wandered around and came back to her room.

She unlocked the door and went inside, locking the door behind her. Remembering her day, a fear rose up. The fear of forgetting, this all could be just a dream. Nothing more but something she made up in her mind while watching too much tv or reading manga too much, something like that. She took out a note she got, and began writing whatever information she could and continued placing every bit of detail she could and by that she ended the day.

***Karin Shinigami***

The next day, went as any day would with the exception of her other classes she didn't attend before. So she would have to deal with that. All in all the day was pretty simple even if she changed her schedule just a bit, nothing major though. She might even make a new friend, or not.

"Hey there!" An unrecognized voice called to Karin. Unaware Karin kept walking off to with her lunch tray down the hall.

"Karin!" The voice called out, Karin stopped in her tracks and looked around to find a red-headed female, who seemed familiar.

"Oh, hey." Karin spoke. "Sorry, but I have to go."

"Oh? But you have lunch right now, don't you?" the girl asked.

"Yeah, but I have to do something." Karin explained.

"Can I join?" she asked.

"It's kinda personal." Karin told her.

"Ah, alright. I'm Misaki by the way. We have gym class together." Misaki smiled as she walked with/ followed Karin.

"Ah, alright... well I have to go now..." Karin stated as she came to a stop. "I'll see you around then."

"Aw, alright!" Misaki smiled as she walked off in the same direction they came from. Karin continued on her way but something about her, didn't give off a good vibe. She ended up going to Roger's office and let herself inside.

"So where's L?" Karin asked Roger who was working on something, but it didn't look that important. Roger looked up, and directed her to the other door down the room hallway.

"Okay, thanks!" she smiled as she went on her way. On arriving to the door she stopped and knocked just in case L was busy and all. A few moments of silence went by until an answer was given. Opening the door, the room was fairly dark, the only source of light coming from his laptop screen.

"You can turn the lights on," L stated as he ate some pieces of chocolate. Before Karin could search for the lights switch L spoke again, "It's on your left." Karin then flipped them on to reveal the male awkwardly sitting on the couch surrounded by several sweet things.

"Thanks," Karin commented as she closed the door behind her and walked over to him sitting on the other couch, across from him, and placed her lunch on her lap.

"So what brings you here?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Your death." Karin answered as she ate her lunch. "I don't want you to die, plus the whole Kira case thing I want to avoid if possible. And I think I have the outline of a plan which involves also finding a stunt double."

"Hm… go on,"

"Well we need someone to act as L, they don't have to look like you or anything but they have to play the role of L for a year or so. And you would probably play the role of a regular high school student."

"Is that so? For what years." L asked.

"Well, what year is it?" Karin asked. "I never really took notice of the year yet."

"It's April 18, 2006." He answered.

"Ah…damn… I would have been in middle school.. okay so we have over a year or so to come up with a plan. But you would have to enroll in school over in japan in the spring of 2007." Karin stated.

Over the next couple of months the plan was sketched out and formulated. The details were made so there was room to change. All that was left was to wait until it begins. During that time, Karin was able to learn Japanese along with get closer with her relationship between the people she met. But as her vibes told her, Misaki was not a good person at all. Mello, well in short we was still usually a douche. Over all, it was a good experience, but things are going to get rocky soon.

***Karin Shinigmi***

Well it's not 5 thousand word count but it got out what I needed :D now im just wondering how I should start the next chapter out… I'm thinking about just time skipping to 3 years from now when Light enters high school, dunno though well watch think?
