"This Kira is a monster!" yelled one of the bystanders.
"He needs to be stopped!" commented a second.
"How does he do it? He just needs to know someone's name and then they die? How can anyone be safe?"
A fourth person spoke up. "But he's just eliminating a bunch of scum! If anything, I'd say he's a hero! The police don't seem to be doing anything, so why shouldn't we let someone else handle it?"
"Are you crazy?" the first bystander spoke again. "Who's to say he won't decide to use his power on someone innocent? What if he kills someone that is accused of a crime and isn't actually guilty? What then?"
"Well he hasn't made a mistake yet, so I think it's worth trusting him for now."
"You are crazy," one of the other figures finished.
Back in the Yagami residence, Light sat at his desk. His father had mentioned that name again. Rivers. How odd that it had turned out to be the same person that he was targeting tonight.
Light ignored it, though. He focused on the notebook that lay in front of him.
This man appeared to be a threat.
No, this boy.
He was young, but he was intelligent, and he had to be eliminated. Light couldn't risk it. He carefully penned out the name. He chuckled a bit as he decided on the method of death.
This was going to be interesting, and perhaps a bit amusing.
Back in his home, the boy was on his way from his bedroom to the bathroom when he stubbed his toe on something. It was pitch dark, and he'd likely left one of his action figures lying about.
Wait, he never did that. He was far too organized.
Still, he clutched his foot and tumbled slightly off balance.
By the time he realized that he was standing right next to the stairs, it was too late. He fell through the air, hitting various parts of his body on the staircase before finally hitting the bottom step and snapping his neck.
He wasn't technically dead yet, but he was paralysed and certainly wouldn't last long enough to receive any medical assistance.
Back in the town, a man was setting up one of many elaborate cons.
So elaborate, in fact, that he confused a god of death.
When Ryuk returned to Light's house, he was greeted with a frustrated scolding.
"That wasn't who I told you to stop! You're a Shinigami, you can see a person's true name at all times! How could you mess this up?"
There was a brief pause.
"I got distracted," Ryuk stated.
"You got distracted," Light repeated in an exasperated tone.
"There were a lot of apples. I got distracted."
Light placed his head in his hand and groaned. "Whatever, it wasn't integral to my plan anyway. Just try not to screw up again."
Ryuk simply stared at the mortal before giving a light grunt. "Sure kid, whatever you say."
The night was busy as, while these things occurred, other investigations were carried out and some broadcasts were prepared.
Light's phone rang. It was Misa.
"Hello?" he said, posing it as a question.
"The man from the other night? The one you tried to kill? I found out his name. Oh! And why was Ryuk there? You didn't ask him to follow that same man, did you?"
"No," Light responded, grimacing at the Shinigami.
"Oh. Well, I do know his name!"
"And what is it?"
A smirk crossed Light's face. This was information he'd keep in mind for later.
"Thank you Misa. We'll talk again tomorrow."
Misa said her goodbyes, in that annoying way she had, and Light sat back to relax. Things were going smoothly.
Except . . . there was something nagging him in the back of his mind.
The way his father had spoken about that boy . . . Light was, dare he say it, feeling a bit guilty. After all, the boy wasn't a criminal. He wasn't bad in any sense of the word. If it weren't for the fact that they held opposing ideals, he may actually have liked the boy had they a chance to meet.
He cursed himself under his breath. He was weak.
He grabbed the Death Eraser and wiped that boy's name from the Death Note.
