Discription: Ryuk, a bored vampire, decides to change a human for a laugh - unfortunately for Light Yagami, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is changed, and though slightly horrified by what he has become, decides that if he has to kill to survive, then he will try and do something good with that. Using the alias Kira, he drains only criminals, leaving the word 'Kira' written nearby (in blood.) Of course, the mysterious deaths are soon noticed, and the famous detective L is called in.

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or any characters within the story!

I wrote this story for my English class, and I had a limit for length, so it's not as drawn out as I want it to be.

Just saying.

Enjoy and Review!

Ryuk

I sighed long and low. I was bored. No, that was an understatement. I was simply sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing. Everything was the same thing over and over. Boring…

"Haha! A pair-a-Aces! I win!" one of the vampireschortled.

The player who sat in front of him cursed, and handed over the money from the middle of the playing arena. Bo-ring.

I sat there for a long moment, thinking back to the fun I had attempted not five days ago. Perhaps… the boy was ready. I stood swiftly, ready to go out and check. The night had long since come over the city, and all was quiet except for the vampires in the same room as I.

"Hn? Where ya goin', Ryuk?" the winner of the poker game asked, glancing up at the tall vampire. He didn't notice the other vampire, the loser from before, peaking at his cards while his head was turned. On the other hand, perhaps he did, and he was going to get revenge later. I guessed the latter.

"I changed a human," I said honestly.

The vampires both laughed. "Gyahaha! How clumsy can ya get? You know the council won't approve of that!"

I ignored them. I could care less what the council thought. I was bored and I wouldn't sit around in the dark, waiting for interesting things to happen in the human world, and or the vampire one. For it hadn't happened in years, so why wait any longer?

Stepping out into the dark night, I went in search for the latest vampire created in the human world.

Light Yagami

"Gnn," I groaned. My body felt like a lead weight. My muscles ached and my throat felt like it was on fire. It took almost all of my strength to raise my arm to cover my eyes. The light from the early morning rays burned them, but despite that, the shadows that covered me helped. Getting my bearings, I slowly sat up, keeping my hand over my squinted eyes.

"Alive yet?" A voice asked from beside me. I jumped, and a guffaw sounded. I turned my head slightly, and gasped.

A black-clad man was standing to my right, leaning again a tree. He had black spiky hair, bright yellow eyes, and - were those fangs? Yes, I thought. Fangs.

The strange material of his tight shirt and leather pants made no noise as the - vampire? - got closer.

"You awake?" he asked. I could only nod insubstantially.

"Why do you look so surprised? I'm the vampireRyuk, who changed you. Seems like you noticed your own changes."

"Vam-Vampire?" I stammered.

"Humans often call us Vampires. Whatever," the man, thing, said.

"You changed me? Does that mean… Am I a vampire now, too?"

The vampire grinned, an evil grin that made me shiver, but only a little. I was more curious now, not afraid.

"Why, yeah. I changed you. Wanna know why?"

"I think I already know," I said, raising my head to meet the vampire's gaze. My eyes had gotten used to the rising sun, but it was still an unusual bother.

"Oh? Well do tell."

"You want to drain me of my blood. You are a vampire."

The vampire's grin didn't waver. "Nah, I'm not gonna do that. See? You're already a vampire. Human blood doesn't flow through you."

"What?" I asked, rhetorically. "Then why are you not…burning up? The sun…"

"The sun is a bother. But, it'll stay like that for a few minutes, and then I gotta get going."

I nodded and slowly got to my feet. "A vampire, huh? Well, I've been waiting, Ryuk."

"Huh?" Ryuk asked.

"Vampires kill humans, right?"

"Yeah, I suppose. Most who do just drain the blood and kill them."

"Then, do I change humans?"

"Nah, you don't have to. There are already many vampires in the world, and they live forever, see? Therefore, the point of more immortal vampires wouldn't make much sense. Overpopulation. But hey, if you don't wanna be a vampire, just tell me and I can kill ya."

I paused for a minute, taking that in. "I have another question. Why was I chosen to be a vampire?"

"Chosen? You actually think you were chosen because you were so smart or something? You were simply around at the wrong time, Light Yagami. See, I was bored, and I needed some excitement."

"Excitement?"

"The truth is vampires don't have too much to do these days. Most of the time we drink capped blood and gamble. If we take the time to kill people, it gets a bit boring. Plus the others will laugh at you for working so hard. And killing other vampires is illegal in our world."

"You said you could kill me, though." I said.

"We have a special bond, 'cause I made you. So I can kill you,"

"I've got a plan for this already, Ryuk. I won't need to be killed."

"You're a smart thinker, aren't you?" the vampire said, nonchalantly.

"Number one in Japan, Ryuk," I bragged lightly.

"Ooooh," Ryuk sneered. "Well, Brains, what's your plan? Several humans have been turned into vampires in the last decade, but none have had a 'plan'."

"I plan to rid the world of its criminals."

"Criminals? What fun is that?"

"It's not 'fun'. It's for the good of the world. If I start killing humans, the world will be a better place. No muggers, rapists, murderers, robbers, or anything else. Soon enough people will start seeing that someone is killing criminals. And I want the world to know of my existence. That there's someone passing fair judgment on the wicked. Humans will realize this and after some time, criminals will be a lost concept."

"Why do you care?" Ryuk asked.

"Because… I've been bored, too. I understand now, I can do so much good."

"Be prepared for the fear and paranoia that belongs to only people who kill. It'll be your sanity on the line."

"I'll be prepared. Because, if it wasn't me, who's to say another person wouldn't have done the same? In addition, what if the person was wrong, evil, and did bad things for the world. I am the only person capable of this, and I'm willing. I'll change the world."

"The world, you say? You live in Japan, Light. How would you kill every criminal here, much less the world?"

"It won't be hard here. I'll learn how to do it in the quickest way, and when people learn of my power, they'll be begging me to take on the task around the world. Most will be so afraid of my power, crime will stop all together."

"I was wrong," Ryuk said, grinning wider. The sun behind him cast a strange golden hue"Humans are so… interesting!"
