B

Origins

(Beyon Birthday's POV)

"Yawn. Good morning, A." I said as I woke up for another boring day in the Wammy's House.

"Morning, Beyond. Are you ready to speak to L today?" A asked me as he git dressed.

"Yeah. Thanks for not calling me B. 
And for not telling Roger or Watari about me cutting myself." Yes, I used to cut myself. But, after A caught me in the act, he kept my box cutter.

"No problem. I'm going to be a bit late, so go on ahead. Don't forget your hoodie, BB." A said.

Why would he be late? He's only got a 20 minutes to live. Oh no. He's going to kill himself! "I won't. When your 'late' I'll miss you." I said as I put my red hoodie on.

*5 minutes later*

"Psst. Hey, B. Psst!" whispered the boy behind me as he poked me with the erasure-end of his pencil.

"What is it, Mello?" I asked in reply.

"What did you get for question 5?" Mello asked.

"I'm not telling you, Mello." I answered.

"Fine, be that way." Mello said as he took a bite of his chocolate bar.

"Mello, stop bothering B." Roger said.

"O-okay, sir." Mello said, afraid of his chocolate bar being taken away.

*15 minutes later*

"B, would you please go get A? He needs to be here, as L's successor." Roger said.

"Of course, Roger." I replied. It's past time. Chances are, A is already dead I thought as I opened up my door. What I saw was...sickening. "Oh my god... A, no...W-W-Watari! Watari come quick!" I yelled and closed the door. Soon enough two people came to my room. One, I saw that his name was L. And, the other was the founder, Watari.

"What's wrong, B?" Watari asked me.

"A, he...k-killed himself..." I said, frightened.

Then, they opened the door to reveal A's body. He had slit his wrists and stabbed himself in the stomach with my box cutter. "I apologize. The stress must have caused this..." Watari said sadly.

"Keep this, B." L said as he handed the box cutter to me.

"Alright, sir." I said and I put the box cutter in my pocket after I wiped off the blood.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am L." L said as he stuck out his hand for me to shake.

"Your THE L?! It's a great honor." I said as I enthusiastically shook his hand.

Bastard! You're the one who caused A to kill himself! I will be better than you! I will avenge A! I thought
as L walked away.

"B, I need you to sleep in Near and Mello's room until your room is thoroughly cleaned." Watari said with a sad look in his eye.

"Alright, Watari." I replied.

*N and M's room*

Knock knock. "Near, Mello? Watari told me to sleep in here for the time being." I said, waiting for a reply.

"Alright, B. Come in. I'll set up a futon for you." Near said through the door.

(Near's POV)

That's a strange outfit for bed I thought as B entered the room wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and no socks. "Here, you can sleep between me and Mello. Try not to wake up Mello. After all, as Watari says, 'sleep is key to a healthy mind'. And, Mello gets cranky when awoken from sleep." I said as B put his pillow and blanket on the futon.

"I will." B promised as we both got into bed. After that, I fell into a deep sleep.

(BB's POV)

stayawakestayawakestayawakestay...a...wake... I thought as I slowley drifted to sleep.

*The next day*

The next day, we went outside to have a small picnic. I was eating my jar of jam, with a spoon to avoid getting sticky, in the middle of a feild. All of a sudden a black notebook fell on my head. "Ow, what the hell?" I asked no one. The black notebook had a title written in erratic lettering: "'Death Note'" I opened the notebook, on the cover page it said, "'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 his/her 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.' Interesting. I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep it and test it out.", I then wrote "Myra Hindley" and watched on my hidden mini-television which showed that the collapsed during a confrontation with the police. "Oh my god. It works..." I said, shocked.

"Everyone it's time to go back for our Q & A with L." Roger said.

*At Wammy's House*

"I have a sad announcement. Yesterday, at around 12:37 p.m., my successor, A, ended his own life. We are going to have his funeral tomorrow." L said through his computer.

*That night*

I won't stay here any longer! I'm taking my Death Note and I'm going to make someone give me enough money to take a plane to Los Angeles so I can make a name for myself. I thought as I sneaked out the window of Near and Mello's room.

*Later...*

I was walking to a cheap motel to stay at for the night, when I turned around and I saw a demon.

I screamed and it said, "I am Gook, a shinigami or god of death. I dropped that Death Note after I lost a bet with my gambling buddy, Dellidublly. I'm only here cause I have to stick around until the notebook is destroyed or I see you die, whichever comes first. So, where are we going...Beyond?" The demon, Gook, asked.

"Wait, can you see my name and lifespan?" I asked Gook.

"Yeah, why?" he asked.

"I can see other human names and
lifespans as well." I replied.

"That's odd. But, we can sort that out later. Let's go." Gook said.

"Alright. To the cheap motel!" I said.
