How to Use: XXXI

- The number of pages of the Death Note will never run out.

--------

Two nights after picking up the notebook of death, madness strikes Light Yagami.

The Death Note is grabbed roughly by its binding, huge clumps of pages tearing out in a fury born of guilt.

They scatter to the floor, seemingly harmless.

When all that remains is a black cover and the instructions, the pages are gathered and shredded.

Each scrap is plunged into a bowl of water.

A smuggled spoon mixes them gingerly, and the paste goes down his throat in three sobbing gulps.

Next morning the pages have grown back, ready for use once again.

Light feels like vomiting.

Wet Paper
Words: 100
Setting: Chapter 1 / Episode 1
Spoilers: None
Warnings: Slight possible squick

I wrote this a few months ago, as the first part of a trilogy I hope to finish eventually called "The Rules That Went Unnoticed." It focuses on a few rules written in the Death Note's How To Use that seemed to imply that something would happen because of them, yet they were never addressed in canon. This first part could possibly have happened in canon, but the other two parts will stray into AU.

Talk about emotional, but where’s the third piece? All I see is two Death Note stories.
