'I wonder if clouds can get bored, after all they spend their whole lives drifting around the place without doing anything. Then again, a simple life like that can be enjoyable too, considering they have no worries or responsibilities.' Light Yagami mused to herself as she stared out of the window.

"Follow the voice of god, and he shall calm the waves and protect us from storms." Her teacher drawled on to a class who couldn't care less about religion.

Light sighed.

She was so bored. The world around her was so boring.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Every day it was the same thing.

"It's all so pointless..." She muttered under her breath, 'No wonder Light was bored with his wo-' She caught herself.

No way was she going to follow in the original Light's footsteps. She didn't want to become a god or any silly thing like that, and she definitely did not want to die of a heart attack, thank you very much.

'Let the world rot. I don't care.' She coldly thought.

"Hey Light?" The boy next to her whispered.

She glanced at him, forcing on a smile that looked so real yet was so fake, not that anyone would ever suspect that she wasn't their perfect Light Yagami, daughter of Soichiro and Sachiko Yagami.

"Yes?" She politely asked.

"Uh, I-I," He stuttered as he fumbled with his words, "If you'd l-like t-to go out w-with our c-classmates?" he asked, flush on his cheeks.

Light gave him an apologetic smile, "I'm afraid I can't. I'm studying for the college entrance exams. Maybe next time?"

The hopeful look on the boy's face fell as he nodded. "Sure, next time." He repeated.

Light turned back to watching outside her window. She wondered if the original Light felt the way she did too. If he felt like he was living in a different world from everyone else, a world no one seemed to notice.

"See? I told you Light-san would say no."

"She's always busy studying."

"Makes me wonder if she even has a social life."

And unlike the original Light, this Light didn't bother with the pretense of socializing. She tried at first, but it just made her feel disgusted. Nowadays she just hanged out in the weekends with Sayu or lingered at her father's workplace.

Despite, or perhaps because of, her status as a loner, people still crowd around her. Apparently she was so mysterious that they wanted to know if there was anything more to Light Yagami than studying.

(There wasn't really. Every day was a routine for her.)

So she had a group of admirers as well, of both genders for some reason. It was amusing to get Valentine's chocolates from both girls and boys. She would admit that she sometimes led people on too, but it's their own fault for not noticing.

She could hardly be blamed for their stupidity.

"Eh?" She mumbled to herself, half surprised and the same time not, as she saw something fell down outside. 'The Death Note.'

The notebook which screwed the original Light Yagami over. If she had been less bored, she wouldn't have picked up. As it stood, she was just that bored. So she picked it up, regardless of the fact that she wouldn't be using it.

She wasn't like the original Light. She didn't want to become a god. She was already a being that wasn't exactly human. For all intents and purposes, she considered herself an alien wearing the skin of a human. That itself was enough for her.

To her, she was content staying alive. She didn't want to end up like Light, dying for nothing. Sacrificing everyone who cared about him for nothing. No, she wasn't going to do that. She wasn't capable of doing that. Or...was she?

She walked home that day with a black notebook in her bag, somehow seeming more distant than normal.

"I'm back." She raised her voice slightly, letting Sachiko and Sayu know she was back.

She walked to the living room, which was connected with the kitchen, and saw her little sister watching TV while her mother was preparing food.

"Nee-sama, welcome back."

"Light-chan, how was school?"

Light smiled at the two in greeting. "It was fine, I got full marks on that English test."

Sachiko gave her oldest daughter a proud smile.

"Speaking of tests, how did that Math test go Sayu-chan?" Light asked her little sister.

Sayu Yagami grinned at her older sister. "It actually went pretty well, all thanks to you nee-sama."

"That's good, I'm proud of you." Light ruffled Sayu's hair, giving the girl a wink. "Keep up the good work."

Light loved her family. She really did. Perhaps even more than the original Light had. Maybe it was because the original Light really didn't know what he had.

Sayu flushed, but nodded. "Thanks."

Light then yawned. "I think I'm gonna nap." She informed her family as she took a seat next to Sayu on the sofa.

Sayu got off and sat on the floor, "You can lay down."

"You didn't have to." Light blinked.

"I wanted to." Sayu assured.

.o0o.o0o.

At dinner Light noticed how out of it her father was.

She frowned in concern, despite how busy he was Light still cared about him, and so she asked him what was wrong.

"It's the phantom killer." Soichiro sighed, "The one who attacked six people in Shinjiku yesterday."

"What about him?" Light pried, her interest being piqued. Call it whatever, but just like the original Light she had been helping the police on some cases again and again.

"He murdered eight children and three kindergarten teachers today before he was arrested."

Light's eyes widened. 'The hostage scene?' She remembered the scene vaguely, the criminal which the original Light killed to test out the Death Note.

"That's..." Sachiko trailed off, a pitying look on her features.

"So sad." Sayu mumbled.

'It's all my fault. They shouldn't have died.'

Light stood up. "I lost my appetite." She mumbled to herself, and walked out of the dining room as quick as she could.

'If I had used the Death Note, those kids would still be alive.'

She walked upstairs quickly, not even pausing to catch her breath.

'And what about that girl? The one that those bikers were messing with? Did she get...' The thought itself made Light's stomach churn, she felt both guilty and disgusted as she lay in her bed.

Eight children and three adults were killed. A girl was probably raped. All because of her, all because she refused to use the Death Note to get rid of the criminals world wide.

'Maybe Light was right, maybe this world really is better off without some humans...' The simple fact that she was agreeing with the original Light made her feel disgusted with herself.

How could she agree with a criminal so...so easily? 'Light wasn't a criminal though. He didn't officially get caught.' Her mind unhelpfully supplied.

Kira...

Could she become Kira?

Could she actually go toe-to-toe against L? Unlike the original Light she had the edge, she could easily write L's name down right this moment.

Her fingers twitched. If she killed off L, Mello, and Near, she wouldn't have to worry about dying. She wouldn't have to worry about getting caught. She could actually make the world a better place.

'But then wouldn't someone else try to stop me?'

It was just like the saying goes after all, Good will always rise against Evil.

She breathed in. More importantly, did she have the right to even judge people? To say if they were wrong or not?

Was she capable of becoming Kira?

"Nee-sama? Are you asleep?"

Light's gaze went to her door. "No." She responded quietly.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Come in."

Sayu quietly opened the door, and walked over to Light's bed. Light lifted her sheet up, allowing Sayu to crawl in next to her.

"What's up kid?" She asked Sayu.

"I couldn't get what dad said out of my head."

"Ah."

"Why did those kids have to die?"

"I don't know. People are weird."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Know what?"

"What?"

"I wish things were different."

Light sucked in a sharp intake of breath, her mind wandering over to the notebook in her bag. "How so?"

"I wish there were no crimes anymore. The world would be more safe then, and maybe dad would have time for us."

Light sighed. "That would be nice."

"Yeah."

Light wrapped her arm around Sayu's shoulder. "Go to sleep, we have school tomorrow."

Sayu yawned. Soon enough she was fast asleep, leaving Light awake.

'Sayu's right, this world...needs someone to save it. This world is rotting. But am I capable of that?'

Truthfully she didn't care for humanity.

Yet...could she become Kira?

Was she willing to risk anything for a perfect world?

The answer was...
