CHAPTER 1 We were driving to Pennsylvania to my grandma's for my moms baby shower. I was in 6th grade. I was loving my life. We made our halfway stop at a hotel and started unpacking(just that mom wasn't feeling well, it's only a 10 hour drive). As my parents were unpacking, I made my way to the pool.(this part is made up btw) I practiced my swimming for a while, and then, A's I was trying to tan(cuz us Russians need our tan.) a notebook fell on me. I looked at it, taking off the sunglasses A's I did. It was a black notebook that said 'death note' on the front. I thought it was funny because I recently started reading a manga called death note just a few months back. 'heh. So they already sell these. Time to talk my parents into getting me one...... If some1 claims this, that is.' I said smiling. '3..2..1.. Okay 10 seconds was enough.' I said A's I changed, and then made a run for it. What he didn't notice was that a creature was watching him...... Ryuk or Rem?
I walked back to my hotel room, which was right next to my parents room. They always put me in a separate room so that they could have "alone time". I agreed. I still had breakfast and stuff with them, cuz they had a spare key to my room. I opened the door and put the chain on. I then walked over to the desk and turned on the lamp. I opened the death note. There was nothing written inside. I flipped to the back. There were at least 15 pages of rules. I looked at page 1 And read: 'if a name of a person is written in the notebook, that person will die. This is just like the manga. Heh, wonder if this actually works.' I said, turning on the tv. I looked for the local news channel. I found it and waited for someones full name to come on the screen. I found one name during a long interview. Looking at the second rule, which said 'if the cause of death is not specified, the victim dies of a heart attack' I wrote the name. Waited 40 seconds. The man clutched his heart and fell.
'wh-what the?' I said, surprised. 'it works?' 'yes it works, you dumbass.' said a voice behind me. I fell of my chair. Standing behind me was a monster that looked like- 'R-Ryuk?' I asked amazed 'how do you know me, kid?' asked the shinigami. 'I read the manga. I especially liked your character in it. Are you really a shinigami?' 'of course I am, stupid boy. How are you gonna live up to light's reputation?' 'l-light yagami is real too?' 'yes, you are the next generation. And light was real.' 'was?' 'I'm not gonna explain. Too long a story. Anyway, now that the Death Note picked you, what will you do?' 'well first I'll rid my school of bullies and rival gangs. Then I'll get rid of anything that I deem A's injustice, like light did I s'pose.' 'a worthy goal. Now gimme an apple.' 'how did I know you'd say that?'
