Death Note: ArkAngels

Prologue Chapter 3: The Slip

Extra Long Chapter. You're Welcome. And yes it's a Prologue with CHAPTERS. Imagine it like one episode of an anime, that takes place over 10 years before the rest of the show. And that each chapter is more like different scenes. This "episode" is to introduce main characters.

"Ow!"Hikaru falls down and lands on his butt, in the middle of the raining street, surrounded by his classmates. He was walking on the street that goes to his school and had slipped on something. While he sat there, rubbing his back, a crowd had gathered, including some of the school bullies.

"Haha! *Light-bulb over here managed to fall on his ass for no reason!" Kou Kida, the 'Leader' of the bullies, kept laughing, which drew more attention towards Hikaru and the growing crowd. He has slick black-brown hair and sharp features. He also wears a different type of eye-wear everyday. Today's flavor were orange and blue goggles. *(The kanji for Hikaru's name means light/radiance in Japanese.)

Hikaru tries to get up and leave before someone he ACTUALLY cares about shows up. When he starts to stand, however, Kou quickly pushes him down with his foot.

" What's the hurry? Sit the hell down!" Kou laughs, pulling his leg back to kick Hikaru. Then, for a split second, out of the corner of his eye, Hikaru sees a flurry of movement. Kou seems to notice it too, as he turns his head towards it. Next thing Hikaru saw was a fist go flying into Kou's cheek and pull him back by the collar. The only thing he could do was sigh in his head and think 'Oh no.....Hideaki....'. By the time he finished that thought, the bully was being held up by the collar . Everyone who had surrounded backed up some.

"And just what the actual hell did you think you were doing to my buddy Hikaru here.... Kida?" The dark blonde, tan boy calmly asked, still holding the bully by the collar of his shirt.

"N-N-Nothing! Hideaki Sir!" Kou Gulps and is sweating bullets, but not struggling and ignoring the punch he'd taken. Hideaki did that to people. If he wanted to, he could instill fear in anyone. Not because he was about 1 and 1/2 years older than most in their grade. He could just stare into their eyes, and they'd just stop. He could put a calculating look on his face that show'd he could read you, in a way no one could read him. There would be no emotion in his eyes. No one messed with Hideaki (or Hikaru if he was around) because of this. But it had never once worked on Hikaru. Maybe that was why they were friends.

Hideaki had brown-blonde hair, bright blue eyes, light tan skin, was about 2 to 3 and 1/2 inches taller than everyone in their grade, and he was thin, even for someone like him. To shorten it, he stuck out, especially in a bunch of younger kids. The only reason he was on that grade was because he was home schooled, and they thought he wasn't going to be as smart as he was. That and he wanted to be in the same class as Hikaru. But in reality, he was smarter than an average high school student.

"You're damn right you weren't. Now run, before Kira gets you," Hideaki says, letting go of Kou's shirt, whose eyes grow at the word 'Kira'.

"Yes Sir! Sorry again, S-Sir!" Kou is running as soon as his shoes reach the ground. By now any bystanders who had been watching had dispersed.

Hideaki sighs. "Idiot." He turns towards Hikaru, squats on his knees and holds a hand out to him. Before Hikaru can take it., though, the both turn towards a familiar sound, coming from the direction HIdeaki had come from.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKAAAAAAAARUUUU!" They realize who the source is as a flash of bright colors flies past Hideaki and is on Hikaru. "Are you okay?! Who did this?! What exactly did they do?! Where does it hurt?! Are you bleeding?! Any broken ribs?! Oh god, you're dying!" The girl throws questions nonstop, not waiting for answers, and jumping to conclusions while looking Hikaru all over, raising his arms, looking on the back of his neck, even lifting his shirt looking for bruises.
