Lucy sat in class, listening to the teacher speak in English. The world seemed boring, nothing was a challenge. Lucy Heartfilia was a pretty, blonde, straight A student at the top of her class. However, she felt there was nothing exciting in her life. She stared out of the window in her classroom. There was no need to pay attention to her teacher. She already knew what he was teaching, this class was too easy.

Lucy was tired of all the violence that was going on in the world. Everyday, there were murderers, rapists running loose in the world. It would be better if they all died. Then, the world wouldn't be so rotten.

Lucy squinted when she saw what looked like a black blur falling from the sky. It landed in the school yard near the building that her classroom was in. Lucy stared at the little black spot that sat in the grass. She sat, wondering what that thing was, and how it fell from the sky.

The bell rang and everyone left to go home. Lucy had not taken her mind off what she had saw earlier. She walked past everyone in the halls ignoring everyone. Once she got outside, she walked over to where the object had fell earlier.

There it was, laying in the grass of the schoolyard. By now, Lucy realized it was a black notebook. With the words 'Death Note' written on the cover. Lucy scoffed. A notebook of death? Ridiculous. Still, she opened the the note, and saw that there were instructions on the inside.

'The human whose name is written in this note shall die.' Lucy put the notebook back down on grass. 'How stupid,' Lucy thought. And here she thought it would have been something a little more interesting. She started to walk away, laughing to herself. A note book that can kill? How stupid. Still her curiosity got the best of her. She walked back and picked up the notebook, placing it in her bag.

'What am I doing?' She thought to herself as she walked home. 'What's wrong with me?' She was walking home with a notebook in her bag. A notebook that can supposedly kill people. There was no reason to believe such a thing exist. No logic in how a notebook can kill simply with the name of a person. But, she wanted to try. She wanted to try to see, if the notebook can cure her boredom, if it can make her life a little more interesting.

Lucy sat in her room and read the instructions of the notebook. 'This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is written within forty seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the victim will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next six minutes and forty seconds.'

'So it's possible to let people die peacefully or make them suffer...' Lucy thought. Whoever wrote this sure planned this out carefully for a prank.'

Lucy left her desk and laid on her bed. 'How pointless.'

For a moment, Lucy stared at the notebook that sat on her desk. She then got up and went over to her desk and took out a pen.

'Wait a minute...What if someone actually died.' Lucy shook her head. 'There's no way that could happen.'

She looked at the news report that was being broadcast on her television in her room.

According to the live news report, a madman barricaded himself within a nursery school after killing six people and was now holding hostages. The news report identified the man's face and his name.

Lucy took a good look at his face and name. 'Otoharada Kurou.'

Lucy wrote his name down and glanced at the clock.

'Forty seconds, then a heart attack.' Lucy thought. 'Or so they say.'

Forty seconds passed by. Lucy smiled to herself. 'I knew it. Of course nothing happened.'

She was about to switch of her television, when the news reported the hostages leaving the school, unharmed. The policed rushed in the building and confirmed that the madman had died.

Lucy stared at the screen in shock.

'Dead?!'

The news reported that the hostages had seen him collapse... He was not shot.

'It can't be...no, it was just a coincidence...' Lucy thought to herself. 'It has to be...'

Suddenly, her mother called her from downstairs. "Lucy! It's almost six thirty!"

"You have your prep course today right?" Layla asked.

"Yeah, I'm getting ready now." Lucy replied.

As Lucy packed her things, she grabbed the death note and put it in her bag. 'Is this thing really genuine?' Lucy thought. 'I should test it, one more time, on a criminal.'

The next day, Lucy was walking home from school seeing disgusting, vulgar people everywhere. 'The world would be better off if they died.' Lucy thought

She entered a convenience store, noting some guys who were being rude and flirting with a lady outside in the parking lot. Lucy watched and listened from the inside as the group of guys started to assault the woman. It was clear what they wanted. Earlier, one of the guys had introduced himself to the woman, Lucy had remembered his name, started jotting it down in the Death Note.

Once Lucy finished, she glanced at her watch and waited. The woman had manage to break free, and was running away. One of the guys on his bike and tried to chase after her. When he drove across the street, he was hit by a truck, killed exactly forty seconds after Lucy had written his name down.

'This... proves it.' Lucy thought. 'The Death Note is real...'

A white haired girl sat at the top of a crater. Within the crater was a portal leading into the realm of Earth. Souls were flying out of it, into her realm. The realm of the Death Gods. Her clothes consisted mostly of the colors black and purple, with little tears in the fabric. She had wings protruding out of her back. Suddenly, she stood up staring into the portal. She grinned, 'It's about time.' Someone had found her death note. She leaped into the portal, head first.

Entering the realm of Earth, she soared through the dark sky. Flying towards the human who was in possession of her death note. Hopeful, that this human could make her boring, Death God life, a little more interesting.

Lucy entered her house. It was raining hard outside. "Welcome home, Lucy," her mother greeted her. Her mother held out her arms in anticipation of something. Lucy looked confused for a second,but then realized what her mother wanted. "Oh...the result of the nationwide exam." Lucy said, reaching into her bag. "Quickly, now." Layla said, smiling.

Lucy pulled out the results of her exam and handed it to her mother. Layla read over the results with glee. "Wow, you scored the highest again." Layla said, proud of her daughter. "As expected from you."

Lucy smiled and started to walk upstairs. "It was nothing, I'm going to study, don't disturb me."

"Lucy, tell me if there's anything you want!" Her mother called from downstairs. "Anything at all!"

"It's alright, mom." Lucy replied. She closed the door and locked it. She smiled, devilishly. 'I already got what I wanted.'

She went over to her desk and sat down, pulling out the notebook that she kept in her drawer. She looked at all the names of criminals she had written down. She chuckled darkly to herself.

"So you like it, huh?" said a voice from behind Lucy. Lucy turned around and screamed at the sight of the intruder. She fell out of her chair onto the floor, staring with wide eyes at the white haired girl.

"Why are you so surprised?" The girl asked. "I am the previous owner of this notebook, Lisanna, a Death God."

Lucy couldn't find her voice to speak.

"Judging from your previous reaction, I think you know this is not a normal notebook." Lisanna said.

Lucy finally composed herself and stood up. "A Death God, huh?"

"I'm not surprised, Lisanna." Lucy said, smirking. "No...I've been waiting for you, Lis."

Lisanna seemed confused. 'Lis?'

"I know that the Death Note is real...Now that I've witnessed it's potential, I feel more confident in what I'm gonna do."

"I see, that's interesting..." Lisanna said. "I've heard of other Death Notes appearing in this world, but you're the first to write so down so many names. Usually, people would be too afraid to use it."

"I wrote down so many names because I knew this notebook belonged to a Death God." Lucy said sitting back down at her desk.

"So...What will happen now? Will you take away my soul?"

"Huh?What are you talking about?" Lisanna chuckled. "Is that what humans think of Death Gods? I'm not going to do anything to you."

Lucy looked at Lisanna in confusion.

Lisanna sat comfortably on Lucy's bed. "When the notebook falls into the human's world, it belongs to the human's world. You are the owner now."

"I'm...the owner?"

"If you don't want it, then give it away. I will remove your memory of the Death Note."

"You mean there's no cost for using the Death Note?" Lucy asked.

Lisanna smirked. "Well...only the user of the Death Note would feel agony and fear."

"Plus, when you die, I'll write your name in my notebook."Lisanna said. "Humans that used a Death Note will not go to heaven or hell."

Lisanna chuckled. "That's all."

Lucy then heard someone knocking outside her door.

"Lucy?"

It was her mother.

"Its okay." Lisanna said. "Answer it."

Lucy hid the Death Note under her bed and answered her door. "What is it mom?"

"I brought you some apples." Layla said. "The neighbors brought them over."

Layla looked into the room. "Why is it so dark in here? You'll hurt your eyes, Lucy."

'What's going on?' Lucy thought. 'Why can't she see her?'

After her mother left, Lucy shut the door.

"Since that is my notebook, only those who use it can see and hear me."Lisanna said plucking an apple from the basket Layla had brought in.

Lisanna took a bite of the apple. "Yum."

"I have one more question..." Lucy asked. "Why did you choose me?"

Lisanna ignored Lucy as she continued to eat apples.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Apples in the human world are amazing." Lisanna said. "How do you call it... Juicy."

"Answer my question!" Lucy snapped.

Lisanna laughed. "I didn't choose you."

"All I did was drop the notebook into your world. You thought I chose you because you're smart and pretty? Don't flatter yourself...It just happened to land somewhere around here. That's why I wrote the instructions in English, the most popular language in your world."

"Why did you drop it?! Don't tell me it was an accident!"

"Why did I drop it?" Lisanna smirked. "Because I was bored."

"Bored?"

"Being a Death God is boring. All we do is sleep and gamble. Sitting in the Death Gods' world and killing people in the human world is no fun at all. It's way more fun here."

Lisanna picked up the Death Note and looked at all of the names Lucy wrote.

"Gotta say, You only specified a cause of death for one person... Why?"

"Because, if you don't specify a cause of death, they will automatically die of a heart attack." Lucy replied. "I've already killed the most vicious criminals. By now, the level of atrocity is dropping."

"So?"

"Anyone will notice that someone is killing off all criminals... Soon the whole world will know that I exists, that someone is passing judgment on them!"

"What do you plan on accomplishing?" Lisanna asked. "Why are you passing judgement?"

"Because... I was also bored." Lucy replied. "But, a notebook with a power like that will make any human want to try using it at least once..."

Lucy stumbled through a dark alley clutching the Death Note. 'I...I've killed them!'

'I killed two people...What right do I have to judge people?!'

'But...this is exactly what I wanted...' Lucy thought. 'This world is rotten, we'd be better off if all the rotten people died.'

'Someone has to do it. Even if it costs my life or soul. No one else is capable of doing it. Only I... Only I could change the world!'

"I'll start by writing the names of the worst criminals... Eventually, nobody will commit crimes." Lucy said. "Then, the world will be a better place! I will build a world inhabited by only those I consider good!"

"Then, the only bad person left will be you," said Lisanna.

Lucy smiled. "What are you talking about, Lis? Im a straight A student, probably the best in Japan."

"I will rule over the new world as a God."

Lisanna grinned, sadistically. "I was right... You humans are fun!"

Lucy looked out the window as the sun started to set. 'No one will be able to stop me.'
