I would love to!

Okay, then.

I got my permission to tell the story, however, the Shinigami I will be talking about doesn’t wish his name to be mentioned. Therefore, I will refer to him as ‘X.’

X used to visit the human world and observe humans to get rid of his boredom. One day, he decided to go to a highschool to see what humans learn during the process of their education. He visited a random one, then he encountered a short, frail boy being bullied by other students. X had always thought schools were supposed to be a safe environment which provided efficient knowledge to kids and gave them the opportunity of either exploring their personalities or learning to accept others with different traits. Therefore, he was quite surprised and disappointed to see somebody being bullied and excluded just because they had a unique appearance and they didn’t share common interests with the other kids.

The boy was pale. He had big, blue eyes matching with his long, wavy blue hair. He had a tiny, upturned nose and pinky lips. He didn’t look anything like his peers, in addition to that, his personality was as unique as his appearance. He used to read many books and underline his favorite sentences with colorful highlighters. He used to have a notebook which he had written poems, drawn pictures and glued the photos he took. He had a wonderful mind filled intelligence and creativity.

That boy was the first human to actually attract X’s interest and it wasn’t only because X had compassion to the boy, it was also because the boy was so pure, innocent yet so unaware of the inner beauty he had.

X followed the boy for a small amount of time and found out everything about his life. He had lost his dad at a very young age and he had an abusive mom. He had always been excluded, never been loved and never been accepted with the way he was. That’s why he had always been introverted, also considered himself as a person who didn’t deserve to be loved. However, he aspired to find true love and learn how it would feel to be loved mutually. Even though his faith faded more as each day passed, he had never completely lost all of it. The fact that the boy managed to stay strong no matter how many hardships he had to deal with in his life got X attached to him more and more.

Other Shinigamis, including me, were curious where X was and what he was up to. Most of us had tried to contact him, but X didn’t care about his surroundings since he was completely blinded by the boy’s existence.

One day when the boy got beaten up by the bullies again, X felt the anger burning his entire body. He couldn’t stand watching an innocent human being persecuted. He couldn’t stand seeing the boy crying for help and everybody else ignoring him, just watching him and laugh. It was selfish, cruel and absolutely unfair.

The boy eventually got out of the school and ran as fast as he could. Meanwhile, X was following the boy, trying to think of a way of helping the poor being. X was nothing but a stranger who secretly observed the boy, that’s why he doubted if he should kill the bullies without having the boy’s permission. He desired to meet the boy and show him some knew what kind of a sorrow he had been dealing with. He wished to tell the boy he was understood by somebody.

The boy eventually arrived to the beach, sat on the sands, wrapped his arms around his knees and begun crying loudly. It was only the midday, and surprisingly, no one seemed to be around. X took a deep breath and listened to the boy talking to himself and wishing somebody could see how much in a pain he was. X, again, thought that interfering the boy’s life without his permission wouldn’t be the best solution, then suddenly a better idea came into his mind: he could give the boy the opportunity of changing his own life.

He took out his Death Note and dropped it to the sands. The boy recoiled because of the sudden voice he heard. He swiftly got up and looked down at the sands. He was confused to see the Death Note. He was sure the note wasn’t there when he first arrived to the beach. He knew that he would have noticed something as abnormal as a black notebook with the title of ‘Death Note.’ With a confused expression, he looked around to see if somebody had accidentally dropped their notebook. Meanwhile, the boy was totally unaware of the existence of the Shinigami standing beside him.

After examining the Death Note with a curious look in his eyes, he eventually took it, then X became visible to the boy. He hadn’t expected such an ugly, phantom looking creature to appear right after he picked up the note. He initially went back a few steps as a reaction, however he couldn’t say anything, and a few moments later, he found himself standing without moving a muscle as if he was frozen. He gulped as he noticed his heart begun beating faster than usual. Fear had taken the control of him. He wanted to run, scream and call for help, although, something inside him didn’t let him do anything but stand there with a terrified expression. X told the boy that he was completely harmless and all he wished to do was to help him.

The boy intented to talk, but he only managed to stammer a couple of words and whatever he said didn’t make any sense. He wasn’t able to think or say anything. Meanwhile, X told that he observed the boy for a short amount of time and witnessed whatever he had been through. He added that the notebook had a magical power to kill whoever he wished. The boy’s hands were sweating and shaking. He wasn’t able to hold the Death Note anymore. Once he dropped the note, X took it and handed it to the boy. However, the boy didn’t take it. He told he wouldn’t have had any difference than the bullies at school if he attempted to murder them by using the Death Note. X argued that the boy could have forgotten about his memories of him killing the bullies by giving up on the ownership of Death Note, although, the boy didn’t accept it anyway. He told that even if he forgot about his memories of killing all those people, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was a murderer. X wasn’t surprised by what the boy told him, he was impressed indeed.

They didn’t talk much while walking home, because X had warned the boy about Shinigamis being only visible to the humans who touched the Death Note, so if they talked, the other humans wouldn’t have been able to perceive what was going on and they might have thought the boy was talking to himself.

Once they arrived home, the boy asked questions such as how X found him and why he decided to give his Death Note to the boy. After answering the boy’s questions, X told him about the rules of Death Note just incase he decided to use it. However, there was a rule neither X nor the rest of the Shinigamis didn’t know. The rule was, if the owner of a Death Note does not use their notebook to kill someone within 21 days, they suddenly lose their memories both about the notebook and the Shinigami who followed them.

It is almost impossible for Shinigamis to know every rule of the usage of Death Note and we learn most of the rules through our experiences. That’s exactly what happened in this story. The boy and X had become friends, in addition to that, X had viewed the boy more than a friend (and was never able to open up about his feelings), however, even though the boy had the best days of his life and finally felt that he was genuinely loved and understood by somebody, he eventually forgot about all of his memories.

The only thing left about their friendship was the picture of X that the boy had drawn in his notebook. Every time he looked at the page which the picture of X was drawn, he felt like the creature somehow seemed familiar, however he could never figure out why.
