 "The human whose name is written in this note shall die."

"This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing the person's name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected."

"If the cause of death is written within the next 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."

"The person who uses this notebook cannot go to Heaven or Hell."

You stare down at the ground with furrowed eyebrows, arms crossed as you lean against your desk. You were still reeling from the disarray and befuddlement of this all being real, if this even was real, but you had pushed that deep down inside you. You will try your damnest to not think about it. It will only distract you from your goal.

"Oh c'mon..." Dyeth starts with a frown, "Did the last rule make you hesitant?"

"I'm just thinking." You don't look up from the spot, "Those aren't all the rules, are they?"

It shrugs, "It's all the rules you'll need for right now, besides the Eye Deal."

You look up at it, confusion the only thing visible on your face. "Elaborate, please."

"It's quite simple! If you make the deal, you get to see what Shinigami see!" Its pointer finger goes to its eye. "Everybody's lifespan and name! Isn't that neat?" Dyeth's expression then morphs into an exaggeratedly concerned one. "But that wouldn't be a deal if we gave it to ya guys for free, hm? So in return, we take half of your lifespan!"

What a terrible deal, for you at least. Kira is probably over the moon about this. And the second Kira. Shit, in all this calamity you almost forgot about them. You're almost positive that one of them has the eyes. You'd have to go back and do some research, but you're sure you could piece together which one of them does. If you'd have to put your bets on it now, though, you'd go with the second Kira.

"I don't suppose you can tell me if either of the Kira's have the eyes.."

Dyeth giggles and shakes its head, extensive, damp, wet locks moving with it. "Nope! Sorry Silly Billy, but anything that could directly lead you to Kira is a no-go...besides the eyes, of course."

You raise an eyebrow, "And the eyes would help me find Kira how?"

"Because you can't see the owner's lifespan. If you so happened to randomly cross Kira on the street, you'd know it."

You jolt up in surprise, eyes now locked on Dyeth.

The creature smiles its bizarre and freakish smile, "Ooohh~ That got a real reaction out of you..." It tilts its head like a puppy, "Does that mean that you'll take the deal?

You say nothing. A couple of moments pass.

"No..." After what feels like an eternity you finally speak with a shake of your head. "No. There's no guarantee that I'll be able to figure out who Kira is. It would be irresponsible and idiotic of me to take that without even the slightest clue who they might be..."

Who Could Kira be?

The first thought that comes to your mind is that it would have to be someone you know. Why else you Dyeth give it to you specifically? Yeah, it stated that L or the police would be too easy, but there had to have been smarter people who would've made this more fun– Like the top students of Japan; Hideki Ryuga and Light. Maybe it thought that would also be too easy as well. Perhaps it just chooses you because you are intelligent, but not enough.
