Part One: The Prologue
Yandere Overhaul x reader
Death Note Au
Tw: Murder
Let's begin.
Kai let's out a heavy sigh as another filthy human was brought into the station. All it ment was paper work and no justice. By the looks of the man he was wealthier than most so he'll definitely get bailed out.
It's useless to have a justice system if no one uses or follows it.
He files up the new guy and also files his release papers that are sure to be needed within the hour.
Oh, how he wanted to watch the criminals in the world actually pay for their crimes and not just be let off scott free.
He looks out the window at the dying sunlight only to catch glimpse of something falling from the roof. No one ever goes up there so the possibility of something falling intrigued him. He'd be sure to check it out once he was sent home for the day.
He held true to that statement, holding a flashlight up so he could try and find the mysterious object in the dark.
It confused him to find a notebook labeled "Death Note". It seemed silky and childish.
Nonetheless, he takes it home. It was no use in looking for the owner in the complete dark.
Once home he wipes down the covers to disinfect it of any dirt it might've gathered. Oddly enough he felt at ease holding the leather covered notebook.
Something told him to open it.
On the first page of the notebook there were rules. Odd for something someone dropped but he read it.
How to use the Death Note
•The human whose name is written in this book shall die.
•This book will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
•If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
•If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
•After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
He read over the writing twice to make sure he understood. How could simply writing someone's name within the notebook kill them? It was ridiculously really.
He goes to close the cover but he was interrupted.
"Aw, giving up on it so soon?"
He jumps and turns to face the direction of the deep voice.
There stood in the shadows was monstrous creature. Large human like body with skin colored a dark purple. It's neck long and hung, the sides looking almost ripped as the muscles were shown beneath. Its face was simply a black void with its purple skin hanging like fabric along the edges, yellow eyes glowing like streetlights.
"What the hell are you?"
It's deep laughter echoes through his room.
"I am the owner of that notebook. I am here to see what you do with it."
Kai calms down slightly seeing as the beast wasn't hostile but he still was alert.
"That doesn't answer the question of what you are."
"I am a shinigami, or God of death. And before you ask I go by the name of Hood."
Kai takes a moment to think before responding. So far he picked up a God of death's notebook that grants him the ability to kill anyone he pleases.
"How can I trust you not to kill me?"
Hood laughs at his question.
"If I wanted you dead you'd already be. The underworld is so boring, I was hoping you'd bring me entertainment with the power of my notebook."
"And if I don't want to?"
"Then leave it. After seven days if you don't write anything in it I'll take it back."
Kai relaxes and puts up the notebook, looking at the names written on the next few pages.
"Does it actually work?"
Hood leans forward, pointing his finger to the TV playing the live news.
"Why don't you try it out yourself?"
He grabs a pen and carefully writes down the first and last name of a criminal holding a lady hostage in a drug store. He writes in anticipation as the seconds tick by.
40 seconds. Just like the notebook said.
With the news reporters happily describing the hostages being let free, he turns to Hood.
"I told you it worked."
A smile spreads across Kai's face. Oh the plans he had for his new found power.
It doesn't take him long to start his liberation of the world. At home and during the down times at work, pen writing endless lines of names of criminals locked up or already set free.
It was easy when you had countless files right at your fingertips.
He was going to be the new God of this clean and pure world. People will fear the power he has and will obey him into staying pure.
He even gained a following for his actions, being dubbed the name Overhaul. He was going to rearrange the world into the perfect place that he invisions, with the help of a follower that also owns a death note.
They had approached him early in his killing, offering help as well as his devotion. He goes by the alias Chrono.
But he knew the police and most of the world would oppose him. He expected the police to look into him and luckily he had all the inside information.
The only thing that threw him off was this mysterious detective that went by the alias of H, supposedly standing for Hero.
He scoffed whenever the room went dark and the screen appeared, accompanied by a distorted voice speaking a dumb plan he'd see right through.
What he didn't expect was for H to go onto live TV and tell everyone there real name.
It was pathetic how easy it was to kill them, smirking as they clenched their chest from the heart attack.
But his smirk didn't last long as laugher filled the speakers, telling him how Overhaul fell for their ploy.
If only Overhaul could see your smirk behind the speaker as you told him how this was a criminal that was sentenced to execution later today and how it was only broadcasted within a certain area in Japan.
Kai curses himself as he slams his fist down onto his desk. How could he be so dumb? How could he let that filth out smart him?
But he couldn't help the smile that slipped through his anger.
He had found a smart enough oppent to keep him entertained as he fixed the world.
"Well, this shall be fun..."
