Secrets and Lies

Summary:

Boredom.

It's a plague for Shinigami. Ryuk knows this best, which is why he decided to drop the note for the first time in 300 years.

And if the person who finds it just so happens to have experienced just how broken the system is? Well, that just makes it even more fun.

If only he could get his hands on some apples...

Rated Orange for Fluff, with a tad bit Grapefruit for Gore. This is a Death Note fic, after all.

Notes:

Some chapter titles will be named after Death Note: The Musical songs. The fic is also named after.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Bored.

Chapter Text

“Dust. Bone.”

“A world of bone and dust. How boring…”

A pause.

“Perhaps I’ll drop it again… 300 years really takes the fun out of things…”

This was bad. That blonde buffoon was gonna get him! Sludger had to find a suitable host, fast.

“Stupid Bakugou… I’ll show him! I’ll be Japan’s first quirkless hero!” He heard from outside the sewer grate. Acting fast, he started trying to take over the small teenager.

“That’s it, kid. Die already! Be my hero!” Sludger teased, as there was a loud clank behind him.

HAHA! FEAR NOT, CITIZEN, FOR I AM HERE!” All Might boomed.

“Shit.”

Toshinori couldn’t believe this kid! Who grabs onto someone’s leg as they jump into the air? What if the bottles had fallen out?

“A-All Might… Is it possible to be a hero without a quirk?” He asked.

With a sigh and a warning, Toshinori released his quirk, showed the kid his scarred wound, and explained its story.

“Sorry kid, but you gotta be realistic. If you wanna help people, go be a police officer or firefighter or something.” Toshinori said, as he grabbed the bottles of sludge and exited the roof.

“...Show me what’s right about the wrongs that we allow~” Izumi sang, her spirit broken.

“Real people need to feel protected here and now~” Izumi continued, the constant dysphoria catching up to her.

“This whole damn system’s broken way beyond repair~” She sang, tears threatening to fall.

“It’s just law, not law and order~” Izumi sang, as something caught her eye.

“Not much good, and… sel…dom… fair.” She trailed off, her focus landing on the pitch black book lying in the middle of the street.

She walked over and picked it up. ‘Death Note?’ She questioned, reading the cover. She looked around, before putting it in her bag.

As she got home, she got a notification.

Hello, VerdantQueen. I may require your aid as a second perspective once more. I will reach out with more information if the time arises.

Oh, cool. Izumi’s got work for a few days. That’s good. Izumi entered her home.

“Hey mom, I’m home.” She called out.

“Izumi? What’s wrong?” Her mother asked.

“I met All Might…” Izumi answered. “Kinda wish I didn’t…”

“Oh, baby…” Inko said, hugging her daughter.

“I think I need to lay down for a while… Love you, mom.” Izumi said, before going to her room.

Izumi decided to lay down and read the hero forums, needing a distraction from her day.

She scrolled and scrolled through various threads, before coming across a thread from someone venting about a bad hero encounter.

The poster explained that the hero, Rageknees, had attempted to extort them for sex, only to be rejected, and… Izumi didn’t need to read the next bit to know what Rageknees did. She looked him up, and it popped up with his full legal name and face.

Izumi was about to report him to the police when the notebook from earlier caught her eye. ‘Death Note, huh? Yeah right.’ Izumi thought, opening the black book.

The first thing she noticed was a set of instructional rules. ‘So I write a name, and think about their face? Sounds easy enough.’ She thought.

A few flicks of a pen later, and it was done. She’d have to wait and see, but she doubted anything actually happened.

“Hm… Maybe I should go check out that scene for ErmineKing tonight...”
