Death Note

Written on May 28th, 2008 by Star Jinin

Story Details

Okay, I know this is going to seem more Death Note than Artemis Fowl, but I have to introduce characters for people who haven’t read Death Note yet…so bear with me! 

Chapter 3: Ryuk

Light strolled through the front door and found his mother smiling at him. He paused for a moment.

“Oh yeah. Here” Light passed a sheet of paper to her.

“Oh Light! You placed first again! And these exams are nation-wide!” Sachiko exclaimed happily. “Light, if there’s anything you want, anything at all, just tell me”

“No, mom” Light muttered. I’ve alreay got what I want.

He walked up to his room, shut his door and locked it. He opened the drawer and took out the Death Note, staring at it.

“You seem to like it” Light turned around hurridly and screamed. There in his room was a monster with gray skin and bulging yellow eyes.

“Why are you so surprised? I’m Ryuk, the Shinigami owner of that Death Note. Judging from the way you were acting earlier, you know that that isn’t just any old notebook, right?”

Light took a few seconds to regain his composture. Not to worry. This shinigami is probably just here to reclaim the notebook and leave…probably.

“I’m not surprised to see you, Ryuk…in fact, I’ve been waiting for you”

“Really…”

“Gee…a personal visit from a shinigami…very kind of you. Plus, there were a few things I wanted to ask you about…” Light picked up the Death Note and flashed it toward Ryuk’s eyes.

“Gotta say I’m the one who’s surprised. I’ve heard of Death Notes getting to the human worlds a few times before, but no one’s ever done this many in five days. Most people would be too scared”

Light seemed to tense. “So I’ve used a Death Note knowing it belonged to a shinigami…what happens now? You here to take my soul or something”

“Huh? Is that some fantasy you humans came up with? I’m not going to do anything to you. You picked it up, so it’s yours now” Ryuk leapt out the window, using his wings to glide on top of a telephone pole. Light was astonished. How could he show himself to other people in broad daylight?

“Of course, since that was my Death not you used, you’re the only one who can see me. No one else can see or hear me. The Death Note is the bond between Light the human and Ryuk the shinigami”

“The bond…so there really is no price for using the Death Note” This was the question that was tearing at Light all day. He expected at least some misfortune. Light didn’t pursue the question of how Ryuk knew his name for the moment.

“Well, there is only the torment that humans who used it will experience” Light went rigid. He had been haunted by nightmares, lost ten pounds, and barely slept the past five days. “And when you die, it’ll be me who’s going to write your name in the Death Note” He paused.

“But don’t think any human who’ve used it can go to heaven or hell…that’s all. You’ll find out about that after you die”

Light began chuckling, but then another thought came to mind. “Okay, then why did you choose me?

“Don’t flatter yourself. You think I chose you because you’re so smart or something? I just happened to drop it. That’s why I wrote the instructions in English, the most popular language in your world. Also, I’ll have to stick around until you die or the notebook is destroyed since you picked it up.”

Light cut in. “Then why did you drop it? Don’t tell me it was by accident, after you wrote all those instructions!” Ryuk smiled.

“Because I was bored, that’s why” Light was shocked.

“It might be a wierd thing for a shinigami to say, but I didn’t really feel alive. The shinigami realm has really gone to the dogs these days. All shinigami do is nap or gamble, and if they see you scribbling names, the laugh at you and ask you ‘what are you working so hard for?’ It’ll be more fun here. That’s how I imagined it”

Light thought for a few seconds. “I was…bored too”

“I didn’t believe it at first, but I found that the Death Note has a special power that makes anyone want to try it out just once”

Like the Forbidden Fruit that tempted Adam and Eve, and led to mankind’s destiny: death… the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil gave him the powers to judge good and evil…

Light proceeded to tell Ryuk about the day he tried it out. “I admit it’s giving me nightmares and a lack of sleep. But I’m on a mission, writing the names of the most brutal crimminals. I’ve got everything I could need”

Something puzzled Ryuk. “But you only specified for the guy who was in an accident. What? Can’t be bothered for the rest of them?”

“If you don’t then they will all die of heart attacks. Even an idiot will notice someone’s been killing the bad guys. I’m going to let people know of my existence! That someone is passing rightous judgement! And then no one will commit crimes anymore!”

“But if you do that, Light, the only ‘bad’ person will be you”

Light turned to face him. “What are you talking about? I’m a serious, straight A role model student” He clenched his fist.

“And I…will rule over as a god of a new world! Of people who I judge as ‘good’!”

Ryuk grinned.

I was right…humans are fun! Oh, if only the guys back in the Shinigami realm knew what they were missing!

And that is how Light began a new era, known as the Kira era…

74 Reviews for “Death Note”

  1. Shanette Says:

    OH.MY.GOD I just LOVE death note I’m so happy you did a crossover! The story is really nice so far, I like it! Maybe Artemis should be on Light’s side. I like it that way. =D Just an opinion. ;) But great job so far. I’ll definitely check back.

  2. mayqueen17 Says:

    Death Note is the awesomest anime/magna ever!!!!! Maybe Arty’d do better if he’s with L. You know, Light’s kind of like a more dangerous version of his 12 year old self.

  3. DomovoiBlack Says:

    I’m not into Manga, but I found Light’s story to be fascinating. I’m inclined to think that Artemis’s brainpower is match enough for anyone, but with a tool like the Death Note, he may have found a competent adversary…or will they be conspirators? It could easily go either way, and I don’t have a preference. I’ll check in on your story again. :)

  4. AFDNLOVA Says:

    I love Deathnote! It’s so crazy when that really hot girl is jacked by that guy then he is killed by the truck! It’s so cool!

  5. Steven Says:

    That girl is sorta cute, but really hot? Nah! But I still live that show!

  6. mayqueen17 Says:

    My vote’s still that Arty teams up with L. And Yotsuba is the…. rival I think of the police that Light’s dad works or is in charge of.

  7. Star Jinin Says:

    Yotsuba is the company that got ahold of the Death Note after Light loses his memory…:o Oops. I think I said too much! :) Hmm…also, maybe I’ll also give Arty the ownership of one Death Note later on and he loses his memory later…but I still need a dominant alliance.

  8. Shanette Says:

    Maybe I change my mind… Artemis and L seem better. Now that I think of it. Yeah, maybe I’ll go with that.

  9. Star Jinin Says:

    Okay! Seeing that no one else on the site seemingly even reads Death Note, I’ll go ahead with Arty and L. L wins! I’ll work on it right away! Don’t worry. I’ll make SURE that Artemis doesn’t give Light away…

  10. kenny Says:

    i cool it’s death note i would never have thought of that and if i did i don’t think i would have done it

  11. Random Is My Style Says:

    i love death note!
    artemis should definately be on L’s side. Light is too evil. and twisted. even tho i cant help but love him! ive only read the first two mangas tho.. gotta catch up!

  12. Shanette Says:

    Ahh. Of course. I like Light too. But poor thing… *keeps quiet* ;)

  13. Star Jinin Says:

    I like Light too! :D I think one of the main reasons why he is so popular is because nothing can stand in his way. Not Ryuzaki, the FBI agents, being locked up, or the death of family members. He’s a hurricane that will tear up anything in its path. But I have more fantasies about Ryuzaki rather than Light…Ryuzaki’s so cute! Anyway, I’ll work on ch 4 if I have time.

  14. kenny Says:

    oh i don’t know i think it would be cool artemis teamed up with L and meet light and then betraed L but what next…:( ah…never mind

  15. kenny Says:

    and great story

  16. Shanette Says:

    Yes Ryuzaki is cute!!! Haha, he’s my favourite. :P

  17. shanette Says:

    Wow, I liked chapter 5 a lot!! It’s really nice, keep going!

  18. mayqueen17 Says:

    Death and Artemis Fowl is THE greatest x-over ever! ^^ I wonder why no one ever did it though….

    Chp 5 was my favorite chappie so far! ^^ If L (to Arty) is still the fancy L on the laptop, how is he eating a strawberry and drinking coffee?

  19. artyrox Says:

    Once again a wonderful piece of Fanfiction from Star Jinin! Death Note is like the best ever manga in the world. I love drawing manga (however terrible at it I am). By the way, I know this will sound rather annoying but you spelt recognising wrong. Keep up the good work!!!

  20. Star Jinin Says:

    mayqueen17-We know he’s eating because the story is told from third-person, not first person.
    artyrox-I enjoy drawing manga too! And I’m really good at it. Friends ask me to draw them all the time! :)
    Also, I’m glad you pointed the mistake out. Even if I’m too lazy to correct it because I need my time to write updates, thanks for doing it anyway :P

  21. GoMulchGo Says:

    This is a very good story, but I would like to to point out something. When there is more than one person talking, it’s difficult to keep track of who’s saying what. So, can you maybe distinguish the dialogue. That would be much appreciated.

  22. shanette Says:

    Ahh, I loved chapter 6!

  23. mayqueen17 Says:

    Ahhhhhhh! Arty got hurt!

    I think you took a big risk of letting Arty forget things, but you pulled it off good, sister! ^.^

    Edited by MMK:  I merged your posts.  Please try not to douple post.  Thanks.

  24. mayqueen17 Says:

    Hey, Star, are you on any other sites like Artemis Fowl Confidential? Or ff.net?

  25. Star Jinin Says:

    Nope. I perfer this site! It’s much better than those other poorly made sites. And it’s not spammy either. I do go to ff.net, only I hate the ads.
    Anyway, ch 8 is up! Plot twist! Lol. I know that he didn’t lose his memory because of the Death Note, so his memory should not have come back, but I needed to add that in anyway

  26. mayqueen17 Says:

    *gasps* Arty crossed over to the….. other side! Or did he?

  27. shanette Says:

    I loved the new chapters! I really like where this is going. I too go to ff.net sometimes. I plan on starting there too. But I’ll still remain here :D

  28. songfic_freak Says:

    Inkheart, I suspect you can’t rate stories or get to your own because the editors might have taken that privilege away from you, because you keep flaming stories without any explination. If you do not stop flaming stories, you might be banned from Fangathering altogether. Please stop.

  29. BlackOpal Says:

    Inkheart’s comments have been moved to spam.
    If you see anymore just ignore them.

    -BlackOpal

    Regarding the story:

    This sounds like such a cool thing! I only read one chapter, I’ve never seen/read Death Note, but it’s a great idea. :D
    Maybe I’ll read the rest (if it’s not too confusing) and see how it turns out.

  30. mayqueen17 Says:

    Don’t you just love it his eyes glow red?

  31. Star Jinin Says:

    YOU READ THE UNFINISHED CHAPTER!? HOW COULD YOU?! *sigh*. Curiosity killed the cat, you know! *cackles as mayqueen17’s name is written in the death note*

  32. Shanette Says:

    Haha, well, I absolutely willed myself not to read it. :)
    How could you kill poor mayqueen17 for that?
    -chuckles-

  33. mayqueen17 Says:

    *can’t tell you how awesome Chp. 9 was because she’s floating around as a spirit somewhere….)

  34. Shanette Says:

    Awww haha. Poor thing. Oh and now that I think of it, Star Jinin, your name actually sounds really, really…chinese. It really does. The thought just struck me suddenly. 0.0

  35. Star Jinin Says:

    Yes, it is! Glad you noticed! People keep saying that Asian writers are bad at literature, and I’m pretty much here to prove them wrong. I picked a username close to my own initials S.J. ‘Jinin’ sounds like the Chinese sound effect for ‘twinkling’

  36. Shanette Says:

    OHH!! I’m Asian too!! And I know plenty of Chinese. :)
    Which country are you from?

  37. Star Jinin Says:

    Look, this is getting REALLY off-topic, but if it makes you happy…I used to live in China.
    Also, so the next part of the story is where Misa comes in, right? I forgot (shame on me)

  38. mayqueen17 Says:

    I didn’t peek this time! ^^ I hope Holly knows what the heck she getting into!

  39. HS9 Says:

    People are here to prove this wrong… How interesting. Even though this is off topic, I am Chinese. Some people think we are the smartest people in the world! Some think that. Some people thimk we are just plain dumb.

    This story is interesting. Even though I started to watch it back in Feb., I’m hooked. Artemis, in my opinion, is a little OOC. The disappearance of Naomi Misora? What happened? I know I peeked, but you don’t know my name or how I look like. There is no way you can kill me. :D

  40. Star Jinin Says:

    Oh YEAH!? Wanna bet? *trades for Shinigami eyes*
    Okay, Naomi died because of the death note. Light wrote it in to make her commit suicide without letting her body be found after he manipulated her into telling her real name, if you read carefully.
    I had a theory about how the Death Note corrupts the owner’s mind, and a with a ego like Artemis’s, I thought it would be reasonable that he would be lured by the Death Note.

  41. HS9 Says:

    Well… That is possible… Besides even if you get Shinigami eyes, you would need my picture. So, how are you going to get it? Tell me that!

  42. Moonlite Knight Says:

    Wow, that was awesome! I’ve only read the first volume of Death Note, but it scared me for some reason, so I didn’t read the rest. But your story isn’t scary at all, it’s great! You’re going to add more right? Please?

  43. Star Jinin Says:

    HS9-Oh yeah? Well, there’s this new *coughcough* invention called facebook. Ever heard of that? Oh wait…I need your name for that. Oh snap.
    MK-Yeah. The artist once said that he was afraid he was cursed for drawing shinigami. I was really afraid the story was too confusing and I haven’t even come up with a plot yet…and it’s not gonna be surprising if I take suggestions. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

  44. HS9 Says:

    HA! I spoiled your plan! What’s Facebook? By the way, won’t you feel guilty if you kill someone from your own race? Or are you so cold-blooded that you will kill me? You still have not updated.

  45. AF rules Says:

    I LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEE
    Deathnote! Your Story is AWESOME!

  46. mayqueen17 Says:

    The second Kira is Minerva isn’t it? -_-; No offense, I just don’t like her.

  47. Star Jinin Says:

    Well, yeah! That’s why I made her the second Kira. I don’t like her either, but I hate Misa more. And putting Misa in would make the story SO predictable to DN fans! Misa is such a moron. Another genius would be better. And I have to balance the AF and the DN characters otherwise I’m on shaky ground even for a crossover

  48. OliverWoodsgirl223 Says:

    NOOOO! If you kill L…..:( He’s already dead! Can’t you just be nice to the poor guy for once? Well…I’m guessing the second Kira is either Minerva or Misa…Misa-Misa is the second Kira after all! DEATH NOTE RULES! Also, is Mello and Near going to come in? Near is so cute!

  49. Star Jinin Says:

    Uh…I just told her that Minerva is the second Kira…I mean, I made it really obvious. I guess most DN fans are a bit biased. And I haven’t decided if I’m really gonna kill L. I might, I might not. I hope to end it after the sucessors come in, but before the 1/28 meeting. I’m not gonna include Mikami either. I hate that guy!

  50. mayqueen17 Says:

    just don’t kill L! He’s an awesome character! ^^ I trust that you can make everything work out if you let him live.

  51. AF rules Says:

    I like your story! But PLEASE don’t kill L!

  52. Star Jinin Says:

    Silence, pathetic mortals! I, with the almighty fanfic authoress powers bestowed upon me, shall decide the fate of L! Muahahahahah! Ha..ha. ha. *coughchoke*
    Sorry, I got a little carried away there. But I do know what I’m gonna do about our little panda. No matter what the outcome, please don’t try to flame me or anything. I know all about those L diehards out there and so please keep reading till the end, no matter what happens.

  53. AF rules Says:

    I loved chapter 12! I wonder what Artemis is planning.

  54. Star Jinin Says:

    Er…you weren’t supposed to read that chapter. It’s an work in progress, meaning that you should heed the bolded text and wait till I post an announcement to read it! Grr…people just don’t get that…

  55. mayqueen17 Says:

    the code thing was a cool idea, but i dont get it that much

  56. geniustkw Says:

    Hi! I am geniustkw, singaporean chinese AF Fan! Nice story, I like how you combine Death Note with Artemis Fowl, it’s so fun and interesting, if you won’t mind, please give me your comments about my story Artemis Fowl and the Mallan Rebellion, Thanks!

    geniustkw

  57. mally Says:

    i like this crossover, but i really think you make arty a little stupid. i can never see him as a pawn to anyone. i see him ruling and planning the whole thing. make him win with l though because l is awesome.

  58. AF rules Says:

    I agree with mally. Artemis would never let himself be commanded like that. The storys very good though. :)

  59. Star Jinin Says:

    Sigh…I know, but I like Light being the smarter one, and I know that Artemis is being a bit submissive. But I suppose he did learn some humility and…well…okay, I don’t have an excuse. I just wanted Light to be the dominant one! Artemis can tolerate being told to do something, while Light will throw a hissy fit or find some way out of it. I admit, it’s mostly favortism on my part. And Light’s much more ambitious and his mental strength is much greater. I’ll try to make them more ‘buisness-associate’ like in the future. Thanks for the reviews!

  60. Captain Short 711 Says:

    :shock: gasp!!!! I’ve never seen/read death note ever b4! (shame on me :-( ) but its definately the next book I’ll be reading!(apart from book 6)such a cool story by the way!:-D

  61. Captain Short 711 Says:

  62. Captain Short 711 Says:

    ( YAY!! idid it!!) :-D

  65. AF rules Says:

    Please update. You haven’t updated in like a month. :(

  66. Star Jinin Says:

    Sorry! I was on vacation for two weeks and I also kinda forgot about this site (SHAME on me!). I’ll try to make time for this story. FF.net is SO addicting!!!
    Yeah, Near and Mello are definete maybes. I can TRY to squeeze them in even if I don’t kill L off, but keep in mind that they’re only like, fourteen when the Kira case starts.

  67. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    wow, GO ANIME AND MANGA!!!!!, i didnt reed it b-cuz, i never watched death note, BUT I HEARD OF IT SO MANY TIMES!!! i’ll read or wwatch it then reed this.

  68. Star Jinin Says:

    MAHI!!! UR BACK!!! *glomps Mahi*
    I missed you!!!
    And yes, DN is a awesome series. I’ve pused aside everything for my DN obsession. But just so you know, it has some mature themes in it.
    And no, I have not abandoned this story, god forbid. I am just a little occupied with ff.net right now.

  69. AF rules Says:

    IM SORRY! I READ CHAPTER 13 :( Minerva’s a psyco.

  70. AF rules Says:
