Death Note - Love and Madness

By Tayla Drago

Death Note #4 Pursuit

Seems that it's been a while since Ryuk left the Shinigami world to the human world to be having some fun. So the others have heard about and such with two Death Note books he had and lost. For some chitchatted with each other about it.

SHINIGAMI 1: Has anyone seen Ryuk around lately?

SHINIGAMI 2: Maybe he was serious about losing his death note.

SHINIGAMI 3: It was probably picked up by some human before he could get to it.

SHINIGAMI 4: No way. Then he'd be stuck there till the end of that human's life or until the death note was destroyed.

Shinigami 2: That could take a while.

SHINIGAMI 5: Yeah. I can't picture Ryuk doing something so boring.

SHINIGAMI 1: But do you know what? I actually heard he was carrying two death notes.

SHINIGAMI 2: Seriously why would he need two?

SHINIGAMI 5: Beats me. I'll never understand that guy.

Okay...? Weird. Back with Light after he hears from Ryuk to make the deal or not about having the Shinigami's Eyes to see anyone's name even who was L. Will he do it?

LIGHT: So, the price for receiving the eyes of a Shinigami is no more than half of my remaining life span?
That's it, right?

RYUK: Yes. Well then. Do we have a deal or not?

Takes a few seconds of silences to think about it, and Light had his answer.

LIGHT: Ryuk. This deal is out of the question.

RYUK: Huh?

Guess that's a big no then.

LIGHT: Let's get this straight. My plan is to create an ideal new world free from evil and all criminals. And I intend to reign as a god in that world for a very long time. I might consider the deal if it lengthened my life, but not if I die sooner. I figured you of all people should know I wouldn't take this deal.

Guess Light had his reason why he didn't want to do it in doing his goal, Ryuk still wanted him to know about it whether he wanted to give him some advice or didn't.

RYUK: Yeah. I still felt I should tell you that the deal existed just in case. Anyway, I've done my part. I don't need you complaining I didn't tell you this earlier on.

LIGHT: This is what you call telling me early on? Don't you think you're a little late? I don't see why you couldn't have told me this when we met. Or better yet, you could have simply included it in the instructions for the death note.

Light got Ryuk there.

RYUK: Ah. Good point.

Again, he just goes along with it to seeing a human like Light to being so odd. So he says to himself.

Ryuk: (He's not the slightest bit daunted by the fact that I'm a Shinigami. He doesn't suck up to me. And he seems to have no problem giving me a hard time.)

The lights in Light's room goes off for the FBI agent name Raye Penber leaves for tonight until tomorrow to watch over Light Yagami again. For now, Light lies down on his bed to be thinking since Ryuk never tells him anything else earlier until right now. Still trying to calm down about Haruka not liking him and liking L more.

LIGHT: Well. You're sure there's nothing else you want to tell me ahead of time, Shinigami?

RYUK: No. Nothing else. Nah. Probably.
