Death Note

Written on May 28th, 2008 by Star Jinin

Story Details

Yes, I’m getting a bit lazy over the summer, but don’t we all? Anyhow, I’m still going to go with the whole Misa thing and I’m going to use the ‘whiteout’ idea (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry about it) with Arty behind the scenes. I might use the Yotsuba arc if I’m REALLY desprate, though… Also, don’t blame me if the story doesn’t go like the original Death Note. I don’t have volume 3 or 4 with me right now.

Chapter 9: Coffee

“Hello, Artemis-kun. I do hope you are feeling better” Ryuzaki paused to shove another mouthful of cake into his mouth. Artemis stared, wondering how in the world L could consume that much sweets and still remain underweight.

“Yes, thank you for your concern” Artemis replied smoothly. Of course, he was only a spy on Light’s orders once he found out that he was in contact with L. Undoubtedly, Artemis was not very pleased with being used by Light as a pawn, but he found several benefits to his liking, namely the co-ownership of the Death Note.

(seven hours previously)

“Argh! What am I doing?” Artemis banged his fists on the table. Seriously, what was he thinking when he agreed? He almost tried to bang his head onto the lightpost, before deciding against it. What was there to gain in using the Death Note? No, he shouldn’t be thinking about that. That’s something someone greedy and tyrannical would think… Artemis shot a glare at the sheets of paper torn from the Death Note. Light had given him a few for the elimination of a few crimminals as his house was under survailance after Raye Penber and Naomi Misora died. A strange curiosity filled him. Before he could help himself-

Aruya Takami-accident

“Ahh!” He screamed. What had he just done?

“Hyuk hyuk…” Ryuk laughed, munching on an apple. That was the beauty of the Death Note. It’s special power make anyone want to try it out, at least once. And then once a human tries to justify their actions, soon, they all get carried away, just like Light. Humans were so…interesting. Soon, Artemis had lost control of his own fingers as he spent all evening scibbling names onto the Death Note…

(Present day)

“Is this really necessary, Ryuzaki?” Soichiro asked for the third time. Seeing that the Yagami household was one of the families that Raye Penber was interviewing, L had bugged all the rooms with microphones and cameras. Of course, this was a total violation of Japan law and human rights, but Ryuzaki thought nothing of it. If they could identify a suspect, thousands of lives could be saved.

Artemis watched silently. He wasn’t exactly sure if he should be glad or worried. Kira was indeed a crimminal and needed to be captured, but once he was captured, Light could easily rat him out. Of course, Light had noticed that his house was bugged the very day that the cameras and microphones were installed. He had lowered the door handle as a precaution and stuck a piece of pencil lead in the hinges. Ryuk was busy looking for all the cameras in the house all day (once he found out that he couldn’t eat apples in the house, as floating apples tend to attract attention).

Artemis sighed as he spared a glance at the scrap of the Death Note he embedded in his suit. Of course, it was for emergencies, but Artemis frankly, did not trust himself with the thing. All the countless lives he had sacrificed with his lapse in control…

(Light’s house)

“Light dear! Your friend’s here!” Sachiko Yagami called. It was of course, Artemis at the door. 

“Light-kun and I were planning to stop at the library today for the research project” Of course, it was simply an excuse to have a private conversation without having L overhear. Light came downstairs dressed in his usual attire. Fifteen minutes later, they were in a coffee shop booth far away from any potential eavesdroppers.

“L’s already started to place suspicion on me. I found my suit, my cell phone, and my laptop bugged yesterday. Of course, I had already fed them all a recorded loop, but I don’t know how long I can do so without arousing suspicions. But that’s not the problem” Artemis pulled out a Japenese newspaper. “There’s another string of Kira killings that have started recently”

“Has L caught up with this?” Light asked.

“He’s so busy with the current Kira case that he didn’t even notice” Artemis replied. “But I’m pretty sure this is the work of another Death Note. So far, most of the victims are sexual offenders or charged with assult. Some of these men’s names were never reported in the media, which points that we’re dealing with someone who posseses the Shinigami eyes”

Light nodded. “And so he has even greater killing powers than I”

“What do you plan to do with your ‘utopia’?” Artemis asked suddenly. “If all you’d really wanted to create such a perfect world…” Artemis trailed off.

“You haven’t been trying to mesmerize me again, have you?” Light smirked arrogantly. The mesmer proved ineffective against him, as Artemis later realized that the mesmer could not affect strong, unwavering minds like his.

“After I create my utopia…I will rule as god!” Light’s eyes flared red. Artemis frowned. History had proven many times that humans were not fit to play god. It seemed now Light wasn’t the only one to overlook that rule.

“One other thing…has it ever occured to you that I could one day turn on you? That one day I would write your own name in the Death Note?” Artemis glowered.

Light sipped his coffee calmly. “Rather big talk for someone who was spared out of mercy, don’t you think?” Artemis flinched. Light smiled. “Do you honestly have the guts to do so? When you watch the news, a crimminal is merely a name and a picture, and thus is easier to kill. I am an actual person, Artemis-kun”

The comment had made its mark, and Artemis knew it. Light frowned. This was the exact reason he had to become Kira. No one else would have the guts. They would all be too afraid.

“You, on the other hand…try to say anything to L and your name goes in my Death Note. Even if I’m put in a situation that I cannot write, L cannot arrest me without proof. If you try to give him information on the Death Note, L will undoubtedly be very interested in where you got your information” Light smirked as Artemis growled in anger. 

They both knew that this particular conversation was over. Artemis paid the bill, and both went their seperate ways…

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.

    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

  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:

    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.
