Woo, next chapter! I might not have gotten a lot of feedback on this story, but I really enjoy writing in such detail :)

Btw, all the significant names and dates in this are accurate and relevant to the actual anime/manga! I've done my research :)

ENJOY!

Living next door to a murderer, never thought this would happen

I wondered around the house- well, my house- not even attempting to wipe the massive grin off of my face. The house was basic, but nice, with a living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom and a bedroom. Mainly decorated in (f/c) and (2nd/f/c), all how I would've decorated it, nice going, alternate reality, 1 week old me! I dumped my bag and jacket on the large, (f/c) sofa, sat down racked my brain as my thumb went to the corner of my mouth, just like L would.

In 5 days time, according to the anime and manga,  a man by the name of Kurou Otoharada will hold a school in Kanto hostage. He will kill 6 people before his name and face is made public and will die of a heart attack, due to his name being written in the death note by Light Yagami. Later on, Takuo Shibuimaru will harass a woman outside of a local convenience shop and die in a motorbike accident, due to his name being written in the death note by Light Yagami. This must happen in order for Light to go all power hungry and kill a bunch of other criminals, finally gaining the attention of the police, in order for Kira to become a threat. He'll be visited by a shinigami named Ryuk and L will finally get involved.

I needed to get in contact with L and one of the easiest ways to do that is to join the Kira investigation, however that's not as easy as it sounds.

The only reasons Light was brought into the investigation was because his father was in the police force and he was suspected by L of being Kira. I could easily talk to Soichiro, he was my neighbour! But being suspected? That could either go really well or really bad. I could be included like Light and Misa for the rest of the case, maybe even work with L. But being a suspect wouldn't exactly make L trust me. I'd figure it out once Light had made his move.

I sighed and ran my hands through my (h/c) hair. I'd find a way to get to Lawliet and stop Light, I would. I turned on the TV opposite the sofa and skipped through the channels until I found Sakura TV. They weren't doing much, just doing a report on the population rise in Japan. Well, that wouldn't last long! But the moment Demegawa appeared on the screen, I turned it off. That man disgusted me, he fangirled over Kira so much that it was ridiculous! He tried to kill Near! He wasn't worth my time.

School was going to be easy, most of the stuff we were doing today was pretty basic and I always had Light to help me. But what would I do after all this? I still had a life back in 2016, saving the Death Note reality was great and all but I had a world of my own.

I trailed upstairs and threw myself onto the soft double bed. Sleep now, murder investigations later.

*5 day time skip brought to you by sleepy Reader-chan*

5 days of waiting for this moment, when Light finally kills his first victim.

I'd stayed around Light for all 5 if these days. It was Friday when I started to exist in this world and I'd managed to manoveur school and life in Kanto with the help of Mr Murderer, who was clearly acting suspicious. He was contemplating what to do with the Death Note and it seemed that it was only apparent to me.

It was kind of odd though. Light was portrayed as smart and popular in the anime and manga, but he never really hung out with anyone, I was the only person he talked to and it was clear that other people wanted his attention. He was a bit of a loner to my surprise, but that worked to his advantage, didn't it?

I ran home, not even waiting for Light as I slammed the front door and leapt onto the sofa. I flicked throught the channels until I found the report on the school hostage. Kurou's name or face hadn't been shown yet, but in approximately 10 minutes it would become public information. I grinned, running into the kitchen and grabbing the popcorn I'd bought yesterday and shoved it into the microwave. I shuffled back and forth as the microwave droned on and on. I poked my head around around the corner of the kitchen entrance to look at the TV. Kurou just killed another member of school staff, making the death toll 6, not long now! As the microwave "pinged", I jumped onto the sofa and turned the volume up on the report, nearly containing my excited giggles.

Kurou Otoharada. Holding a school hostage. Several people already dead. Building surrounded by police. No sign of surrendering.

This was it. The beginning of everything. My eyes widened as the reporter's tone of voice grew shocked.

"The man in questio- wha- what? All the hostages are running outside! What- what is going on?... He's what? It appears that Mr Otoharada is dead! He suddenly collapsed! This is-"

I turned the volume down, my bowl of popcorn empty, my smirk bigger than ever. Later this evening, Light will kill another and the bright side is that I can be there this time! How fun.

I went upstairs to a window that has a view of the front of the Yagami house and leaned out. Light's... ahem... light was on and his silhouette was visible at his desk, in front of his TV writing something. I leaned back in and skipped back downstairs to the TV, turning up the volume again. One of the hostages was speaking.

"He was holding the gun to my head and he just collapsed! Nothing happened, he just cried out and fell over! I've never been so scared, I'm just happy most of us got out alive!"

"Thank you Miss Tomoko, I hope you all fully recover from this shocking endeavour. And now back to you Mr-"

So he was dead, Light had killed his first victim. I checked my phone that was on my bedside table when I first came here. It was 5 o'clock now, I had around 2 hours until Light killed Takuo Shibuimaru outside that shop. I was still in my school uniform and could easily be spotted and identified if Light saw me. I walked upstairs to the wardrobe in my bedroom and picked out a (f/c) shirt under a black hoodie with black jeans. This was going to be fun.

CHAPTER END

So what are you going to do next Reader-chan? Takuo is Light's next victim and this time you can be there. Are you going to stop Light? Watch him? Or maybe talk to Takuo? Who knows? Well I do xD
