Yaaaay :D A new chapter! I've enjoyed writing this so much, I did start chapter three and hopefully that should be finished soon :D

Chapter Two

I spent the next few weeks watching Light Yagami. You can't blame me. He's so odd. Something didn't sit right with me, I had to find out what was going on. Is he a drug dealer? Or maybe, just maybe, he's insane. I followed him home once, and several times I caught him talking to someone who isn't there. 

Yes, I'm aware that I'm a stalker. I'm curious, okay? 

It doesn't help he's being tailed by some random dude. So I'm not the only person that is curious about him.

Obviously the person piqued my curiosity, and I did some digging into the Kira case. Yes I am paranoid, but guess what? They suspect that Kira is in Japan, and not only that, he's a high school student. 

So add one really weird person who twitches and someone who's been following him together and you get my first suspect for Kira. 

Slightly ashamed that I had to use the police for answers on who they suspect to get an idea of who I should suspect. Oh well, I got an idea eventually, even if I did cheat slightly. 

He's really clumsy; he's obviously hacked into his father's computer and read through the police's files and information on criminals. They're suspecting someone who's either in the police or related to a police officer. Well done, Light. You really know how to be a criminal and get caught, ten out of ten. Genius my ass. 

I might be barking up the wrong tree and Light is some crazy drug person and Kira is chilling in some other Japanese high school. Right now, I'll leave him as a suspect, and continue looking elsewhere. 

It could be the work of a shinigami, but at this point I strongly doubt that. I have a book that brings me back to life, I'm certain there is a book that kills people. There has to be. 

The funny part is that my parents think I'm just working harder to pass my exams. They don't realise I'm trying to figure out who the most wanted criminal is. They don't realise I'm the very person who's bringing those criminals back. Well, whatever floats their boat I guess. 

Light's POV –

I groan in frustration as I stare at the small TV in my room. Criminals are just being brought back, and no matter what I do they won't die again. They're immune to the death note's powers.

I need to find who this person is, and then kill them for opposing Kira, God of the New World. I need to stop them from ruining my work, from stopping me from ridding this world of evil.

They're ruining everything I've done so far.

That Benihime girl is so strange; she doesn't look very Japanese either. She's not normal. Until I was paired with her, I hadn't noticed her. She can just vanish from the classroom without anyone noticing. Maybe it's her height? I'd heard of her name, just didn't know what she looked like. 

The reason why I noticed her is because she has a habit of staring at me; I can almost see the cogs in her brain turning. Is she smarter than she makes out to be? Does she think I'm Kira?

No way. She's definitely not intelligent. She gets very average scores. She used to score quite high, but that was back when the tests were easy. 

Maybe I should kill her, make it look like an accident. It's not like that many people know who she is, no one notices her. So no one will notice she's dead. If it's an accident it won't get traced back to me and whoever is bringing them back won't bring her back. Problem solved. 

Maybe I should try to befriend her first; hopefully she'll trust me enough to confess that she knows I'm Kira. I don't want to risk killing someone who's innocent. That just goes against everything I'm planning. I want to kill criminals, not innocent people. I'll only kill innocent people if it would cause the deaths of criminals. 

However, if she's too risky of revealing I'm Kira, I'll have to kill her then. 

I'm being paranoid. She probably has a crush on me like every other girl in this school. 

She's not smart enough to figure me out. If L can't figure me out, then she can't. 

Benihime's POV –

"Done!" I announce happily as I finish the final touches to our project. Light Yagami watches me, completely expressionless as I cheer happily about our project finally being complete.

Surprisingly, Light Yagami is easy to get along with, we didn't argue that much. Maybe it's because he's had something else on his mind. I can't help but realise how distracted he's been these past few weeks.

"Let's hand it in then." Light Yagami suggests, he stands up and picks the revision pack up. I grab my bag from the floor and then drag my chair over to my desk before sitting back down in my seat.

I quickly leave the classroom when the lesson ends, not wanting to spend another second in the building.

Just as I'm about to leave the gates, a voice stops me.

"Kimura-san!" I freeze, completely shocked to hear someone yell my name. It's not something that has happened in years. I turn to see Light Yagami walking quickly towards me. What the- what does he want with me? 

My heart begins to beat quickly. I've been staring haven't I? Crap! 

"What do you want?" I ask - my voice quite harsh. What does he want with me? Does he know that I'm suspicious of him? I hope not. If he really is Kira then I'm dead! I'm screwed. If I die and the criminals stay dead, that's a confession that I'm the person who's bringing them back. 

"Want to walk home together? I've noticed you don't have any friends." He says politely. I act offended by his statement and raise one eyebrow. I shake my head no. 

"I have friends," I say slowly and bitterly. I place my hand on my hip, with my eyebrow still raised. 

"I don't see you with them." He retorts and he looks around. 

"So? I have friends." I say in defence, my eyes narrowing. I don't have friends, but I don't really want to be friends with someone who might be Kira. No thanks. If I wanted to be friends with a serial killer I would have found one ages ago. If he's not Kira then I don't want to hang around with someone who either does drugs or is one chip short of a Happy Meal. 

"I don't see you with them." He retorts and I shrug. I slightly narrow my eyes at him. For someone who's supposed to be smart, he's not very nice. 

"Doesn't mean I don't have friends," I let out a sigh. "I have to be home, I have studying to do." I then turn back around and leave Light Yagami standing there on his own.

***

As soon as I get home, I set to work with trying to find L, as well as gathering more information on recent criminals' deaths.

I also set to work with trying to find out where I'm from. I'm clearly not Japanese, but my name is, obviously my surname is the same as my parents, but my first name isn't foreign either. I would have thought my first name would be a name commonly found in the country of where I was born. Maybe my parents changed my name?

After bringing back all the criminals that have died in the past twenty-four hours (I like to stay on top of it, as I have a forty-eight hour period of bringing them back), I set to work finding L as well as any information on my adoption. I mainly want to know where I'm from. I know I wasn't very old when I was adopted, I must have been two or three, so I don't have any memory of my real parents, or where I was. As I was too young to talk, I only know Japanese, and the English I know I was taught at school.

I just want to know more about myself, so I can stop feeling like I'm living a lie.

I hack into my dad's computer, in another one of my attempts at getting more information. He must have the files backed up there. I just haven't been looking hard enough.

After three hours of searching, I finally found something.

Benihime Haruka Kimura

01.01.1988.

1988? I thought I was born in 1986. I'm supposed to be 17, turning eighteen in a few months. That means I'm fifteen, turning sixteen.

Why am I pretending to be seventeen? What's going on?

I narrow my eyes. 

No wonder I look younger than everyone else. I am younger than everyone else!

I can't tell my parents about this, I promised them I wouldn't try to find anything else about my adoption on my own. My parents don't exactly know I'm capable of hacking into people's computers. I'm fairly certain they'd take my computer away and I can't allow that to happen. How else will I get hidden criminals' names that are being hidden from the news? I need access to police information.

I continue to read the document, only realising that it holds no more valuable information.

I exit out of my dad's files, making sure to leave no traces behind, before hacking into the police database.

Just your average seven- wait fifteen year old hacking into computers. As I explained previously, this is what happens when you have no social life. You start learning how to hack things, and it's become very useful. 

They've clearly realised that they've been hacked several times, as I find it harder each time to get inside their database. Soon it'll be impossible for me to get inside. I've been clumsy – that or someone else is hacking into their database. Kira? Maybe. More proof that it might be Light Yagami. His dad works for the police, so he'll have easy access to police information. He must be hacking into their database too.

Kira is unknowingly making things harder for me. Damn him!

Even my hacking abilities have limits. There's only so much I can do. Hacking isn't easy either, it's difficult and very time consuming. 

 When and why did I even decide to fight him? Oh yeah, my stupid ego that doesn't like to be defeated. This is why I'm going to die a premature death. Because my stupid ass doesn't think things through and rushes into things.   

I let out a sigh and lean my head on my desk. This war against Kira is draining me. I have even less time to study, especially with me trying to find out more about my adoption.

I have entrance exams soon too; I need to get into To-Oh University. Light Yagami is going there; maybe if he carries on being clumsy L might go there, making it easy for me to help him catch Kira.

I'm so certain that Light is Kira. All the evidence points to him. I don't want to believe he's Kira, in case I'm wrong.

"Exams today!" Mum says cheerfully as I sit down and eat breakfast with them. I nod and begin eating, not really in the mood to talk to my parents. "Good luck, Benihime! You'll do great!"

I nod my head.

I'm eighteen, my birthday passed by quickly. It didn't help I was busy with studying (for once), bringing criminals back from the dead and finding out the truth behind my adoption.

After breakfast, I quickly head to where I will be taking my entrance exam for To-Oh University.

Light's POV –

She was here. Benihime. That girl has an interest in To-Oh? I've never seen her actually do work at school. So why is she trying to get into the best university in Japan? She's only setting herself up for disappointment.

I turn behind me to see a strange boy, who's sitting in a peculiar position with his feet up on the chair. He looks strangely familiar; I can't place where I've seen him before.

I still have no clue on who's stopping me from killing criminals. I still try; if I give up being Kira then I'm admitting defeat. I'm allowing him to stop me. I can't give up; they're going to have to give up soon. Plus if I give up, I'll never catch him.

I won't give up, I'll become God of the New World, and I'll knock down anyone who opposes me.
