Rise and Fall of Kira

I kept on having this plot bunny appear in my head often while I was reading the manga and watching the Death Note Movie. So of course I had to write it, just to get it out of my head! I hope you all enjoy this little plot bunny as it grows.

A few things to warn you about. This is an Alterative Universe, so A lot of things may not go according to Canon but I will try my best to keep all the characters exactly the way they are.

Also, I do not own Death Note nor do I ever hope to make a profit off this Fan fiction. I’m just doing this for fun, okay?

Death Note: Rise and Fall of Kira.
=============================
Prologue:

It all started one day, with a bored Reaper. This reaper’s name was Ryuuku , and he were completely tired of the way things were in the Shinigami world.
Things seemed too quiet, and time seemed to be frozen completely in this dark wasteland. Nothing exciting happened at all. Even his friends did nothing but lay around playing Bone Dice.

But of course, all that changed when one of his friends happened to mention something very….interesting. That friend in question was a mummy-like monster who had glowing red eyes and sharp teeth poking out of his face.

“What if I told you guys that the legendary reaper was for real? ” the Mummy monster said one day, looking rather nervous.

Ryuuku looked at his friend, slightly confused. “Jaeki? What’s this Legendary Reaper you’re talking about? ”

Jaeki, the Mummy monster, leaned in and whispered. “You remember that story about that one Reaper who tried to defy the Shinigami king and take the Shinigami King‘s throne? ”

Ryuuku nodded, wondering where Jaeki was going with this. “ Yes, I remember. That reaper’s name was Kiraomi, wasn’t it? Anyway…that’s just a story, isn’t it? ”

Jaeki shook violently. “ Yes, that’s what I thought too… but…. ”

Ryuuku was even more interested now. “ But…? ”

Jaeki looked up at Ryuuku with an expression on his face that could be interpreted as an guilty face. “ Well… you know that one tower in the middle of the wasteland that reapers are completely forbidden to enter? I couldn’t help but feel too curious about it so I found a way to enter that tower without anybody knowing. And I found… ”
The Mummy Reaper shook his head, too nervous to go on.

Ryuuku prodded him to go on. “ And you found….what? ”

Jaeki looked around, starting to ramble nervously. “ You promise you won’t tell anybody? I don’t want to get punished by the Shinigami King… Especially now that I’ve found out that what happened to the Legendary Kiraomi was true. I never thought that the king could be that cruel… to use a Reaper’s livehood against himself… ”
Ryuuku chuckled. “Yes, of course I promise. Now tell me already, the suspense’s already getting to me! ”

Jaeki then took out a Death Note, but not any Death note. This one was completely different than any Death Note that Ryuuku had ever seen. For one thing, it was completely white save for the black letters that said “ Death Note ” in English. Plus it actually seemed to emit some faint light. It almost seemed too pure to even be a death note.

Ryuuku was instantly captivated by the Death note’s appearance. “ Man…so that’s Kiraomi’s Death note? So it was true that he had something like that….! Amazing…”

Jaeki nodded, and said, “ That’s not all. If you touch it and listen… you can hear Kiraomi’s voice coming from the Death Note! ”

It should had been impossible for Ryuuku’s unnaturally large eyes to even get bigger, but it did. “ How interesting! Please let me hold it… I want to hear his voice. ”

Jaeki handed over the white Death Note, and Ryuuku instantly heard the faint voice coming from the Death note.

“ Help me…I want to be free again… ” The voice murmured.

Jaeki leaned over and whispered, “ That’s actually Kiraomi himself. He told me the whole story when I was inside that tower with his book. Appently, the Shinigami King wasn’t Sasfiated with just killing the Reaper… he actually sealed Kiraomi’s conicousness into the Death Note and burned his body as punishment. So Kiraomi is living, yet he is not. Isn’t that cruel? ”

Ryuuku nodded. “ But I don’t get it… why didn’t you just leave this Death Note in that tower? You found a way to get in without being noticed… so nobody would had known if you just left it back there. ”

Jaeki whimpered. “ That’s why I’m so nervous. I was just going to leave it there…but for some reason, Kiraomi’s Death Note wouldn’t let me leave without it! And now I’m going to get caught for sure…It’s one thing to kill me off…but I don't want to be sealed away into my own death note. That’s too horrible for me to imagine. What if the King does that to me as punishment?”

Ryuuku snorted. “Jaeki, you coward. If you’re so scared of the Shingami king, Just let me keep this Death Note. That way if anybody comes looking for it, I’ll be blamed instead of you. ”

The Mummy Monster’s red eyes widened. “ You’re not scared….? ”

Ryuuku grinned, all of his sharp teeth completely bared. “This world is so dull and boring…I’ve been looking for something exciting to do. Let’s say I’m not bored anymore. This will be our secret… But maybe you should leave me alone for a while, so they don’t suspect you if they find out that I have this Death Note…”

Jaeki looked at his friend with newfound respect. “ Yes, of course… ”

The mummy monster’s back burst open suddenly, growing wings. He then leaped into the air and flew away.
Ryuuku then sat down, and opened the white Death Note. He then spoke to it, “ You said you wanted to be free from the Death Note, correct? So tell me, how am I supposed to help you? Your real body’s gone now. ”

The voice from the Notebook murmured softly, saying something that evidently only Reapers could understand.

Ryuuku laughed. “ Now that’s a clever plan…certainly something to kill the time! But… if I’m down in the human world so much, the other reapers are bound to get supicous… ”

The voice whispered in gibberish again, obviously answering Ryuuku’s question.

Ryuuku tilted his head at the white Death Note. “ Yes…that could certainly work. For a Death Note book, you’re certainly clever. Very well…The grand battle between two chosen ones starts now. ”

He then stood up, still holding the white death note to his chest. His black feathery wings flapped into the air, and in a blink of eye he was airborne.
