Authoress Note: I sadly regret to say that Origins is not doing as well as I had hoped. But I can't give up on the story. The Life Script series was my idea and I plan to stick through with the story no matter what. Other than that, I apologize for not updating in a while. Haha. Well, anyways I think during my brief absence I've developed Nemo's character a little more since you have come to know her now.

So hopefully you'll all forgive me for not updating…Please? Haha.

So here's Chapter 6 for you guys.

Disclaimer 2: The idea of the Life Script belongs to me. Please do not steal. Thank you. Any Original characters, such as Nemo and any others belong to me.

Tuesdays had become one of her favorite days of the week. Why? Nemo did not clearly understand her favoritism for this particular day of the week, but it was evident that she did enjoy it regardless of the weather. Nemo was once again back at the library boning up on her research again. Kalverez scuttling to and from, bringing her books that she ordered for and leaving her alone should she have requested him to.

What possessed Kalverez to stoop to this level for Nemo was beyond him but he imagined that it was mostly out of fear that he did it. Kalverez did not want a repeat incident of when she had drained him of his life span. "Why don't you figure out why you were speaking that weird language you were muttering earlier?" He asked her.

"I don't have time to divulge into that kind of study right now." She explained to him. "I'm looking for exorcisms but the library's access here to these sources is limited." Nemo sighed and closed another book.

Kalverez looked down at what she had just stopped reading and he cocked a brow. "Irish exorcisms? Nemo, I hardly think that simply one type of exorcism may work for your idea." He grumbled, his drool coating the table.

"Not on the books you imbecile!" She slapped him.

"RAGH!" Kalverez snarled, shaking his head and snorting in annoyance. "Stop treating me like I am a child! It's not like this is something I can help! If anything you've caused an increase in my salivation since the incident when you tried to kill me." His eyes glowed angrily at her and she turned her back towards him.

"You know Kalverez, I sometimes wonder if I should have taken your life span…All of it." She glared at him from the corner of her eye. "Since you so graciously had no trouble issuing my 'death sentence' to me with your confession to the Shinigami King…"

"I know you still could Nemo, I'm aware. You need not remind me." He growled.

"Then if you are so well aware of this, why linger so close to me? Despite the fact you may be trying to avoid my wrath by remaining in my presence." Nemo turned to face him once more, her legs crossed. "Well?"

"I told you, I don't want to risk my life span again. I think I'd rather take my chances staying in your good graces than you hunting me down around every corner." He answered her, cringing at her stern gaze. "Believe me, I know you would too if you truly so desired."

"You should not skulk about me as such, either way. It's a threat to you."

"I think I'd rather take my chances of you beating the hell out of me than draining my life span. You don't know what others are saying about you Nemo. They are…claiming you are not what you are supposed to be." He said with concern. "What if you are not a shinigami Nemo?"

"Haha. I could die happy and possibly be comforted by the fact I could try and eradicate your kind." She flipped through another book. "Ah. Look at this. A banshee…A legend states that an exorcism needs to be performed in order to send it back from whence it came using these precise elements." She stood up and walked around reading more in the book.

"Nemo. Are you listening? They're thinking about trying to kill you again put you through the levels of punishment. You won't survive next time." He moved to stand in front of her. "Nemo!"

"WHAT?!" She snarled, towering over him.

"Aah!" He exclaimed, cowering under her fury. "I-I said the levels. They'll put you through them again, they just have to find a way how to."

Nemo stared down at him and tapped her foot. "You realize that I am aware of them. There is nothing that is stated in the shinigami laws that I cannot alter or abuse my notebook. "

Kalverez grew silent. "No…there is not. But how in the world do you exactly think you're going to change your notebook? There's no possible way to do so. You can't change a Death Note from the way it is."

Nemo turned to face him as she began walking again and her eyes had narrowed and she hissed at him yelling and cursing in the same language she had used to try and exorcise her Death Note before.

"Aah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" She had grabbed Kalverez up by the neck and slammed him against one of the book cases.

"Do you like being food for my nourishment, trepid fool?!" She snarled and rattled him about.

"No…Nemo. I cannot breathe…" He wheezed, drool spilling from his mouth at a more rapid rate. It was as though he knew how truly terrified he was of her that he couldn't control himself.

"As if you could truly understand what breathing is?" She threw him down on the floor and started off again. With her skirt train in tow and Kalverez was not that far behind her.

"Nemo! Nemo wait! Wait for me! Don't leave me in this wretched place!" He scrambled to his feet as he followed after her. The two shinigami disappearing back into the realm.

When they returned, they were greeted by Deridovely. One of the shinigamis that Kalverez sometimes gambled with, Deridovely was surprised to see the two other shinigamis so close together. "Eh? Kalverez. I thought I had seen you leave here earlier with Nemo…but I thought it was a joke at first but now that I've seen it I'm worried that I should be scared."

Nemo's eyes narrowed and Kalverez made several signs to him to clearly 'ixnay' on the things he was saying.

"You wish to suffer what I have inflicted upon Kalverez too?" She asked, her tone a threat.

Deridovely stepped away; his full lips curling back to sneer at Nemo. "It was only a notion. You just always seem to be up to something now Nemo, and it's like Kalverez is…uh…what's that word?" He asked.

Nemo rolled her eyes. "A lackey?"

"Yeah! That's it! Like he's your sidekick!"

Kalverez snarled. "Those aren't the same things you idiot!" He limped forward to try and shove at the other male shinigami but only proceeded in falling over. "Oof!"

Deridovely laughed at Kalverez lying on the dusty ground and Nemo sighed in annoyance. "Please Kalverez. You embarrass yourself enough as it is without anyone else truly paying attention to it."

"Don't flatter him Nemo, he's useless anyways. Especially after what you did to him. He's not the same…he doesn't kill humans like he used to. In fact…" Deridovely looked down at Kalverez with a smirk.

"I don't think he's worth anything as a shinigami anymore. He should gamble away his remaining life span so that he can finally die."

Nemo gave him an unnerving g silence before she retorted. "And…I suppose you should do the same? I mean, what do you do Deridovely? You sit around, do nothing, remain boring, and gamble your lifespan away. The same as your 'friends'." She mentioned. "Kalverez is lucky I allowed him to live after I drained him nearly to the point of death…"

Her eyes glinted menacingly and she hissed like a cat would. "Would you like to test that out?" She asked him, stepping forward.

"As useless as Kalverez may be…I still have a use for him on my own time and you will do well…not to question my reasons…or I will drain you dry…" She hissed.

Deridovely gulped and stepped back.

"Go. Now." Nemo said, lowering her tone.

And as though commanded by some ominous god, Deridovely departed from them and Nemo dragged Kalverez to his feet. "Get up, wretch." She scowled.

As Kalverez dusted himself off and Nemo went off without him. "Why…did you stand up for me…Nemo?" He asked her as he hobbled along after her.

"Despite none of the others seeing any use for you, I believe I may need some sort of assistance anyways." She said. "You may make a good lackey yet." Dare it happen? A smirk appeared on her face and she continued on her way. "Come, lackey."

"Oh you're hilarious Nemo. HILARIOUS." He hissed, a trail of drool dampened the sand as he skulked after her.

For days on end, Nemo would read. Kalverez would bring her the literature, he would scuttle off to sit around patiently as he read before she called for another book. He reluctantly had to admit that her could have owed his life to Nemo for not leaving him to die after draining him of his lifespan.

"These books lead to nothing but more of the same things I was reading." She flung the books away from her to which she could hear several people downstairs muttering something about the ghosts haunting the upstairs archives.

"Nemo, you should try less to attract attention to us. Someone might see your Death Note lying there…on that chain and try to take it from you. They're going to touch it and they'll be able to see you." Kalverez said to her as she gathered the papers and books up in frustration.

"The same goes for yours Kalverez…" She hissed and the more gruesome of the two shinigamis looked at his Death Note strapped at his chest. "I mean, truly, yours just floats there…"

Kalverez hissed and spewed a bit of spittle at her and Nemo bashed him over the head with one of her books. "OW!"

"You're disgusting!" Nemo snarled. "Look at the mess you leave all over the place."

"I wouldn't leave it so much more frequently if you hadn't drained me of my lifespan."

"Pus spewing wretch!"

"Vampiric hellspawn!"

Silence. "Do you want to die…again Kalverez?" She hissed, bearing her sharpened teeth in a jagged scowl.

Kalverez drew back and he shook his head rapidly. "No…"

"I didn't think you would. Because the second time around I try to take your life, I'll take it for good and you will never open that filthy mouth of yours again." She growled lowly before disappearing from his sight and Kalverez stood, hunched over, in the spot she had been sitting in before.

"You'd give your life for the humans…even though you realize it is our ultimate downfall to do so. Why? Nemo? Why?"
