"Oh, wow" I quietly muttered under my breath as I stare at the black notebook in his hands. "So that's the death note, huh" I glanced at Light as I notice a glimmer in his eyes.
"..." He couldn't take the words out of his mouth. He was utterly speechless as he sat on the sofa beside me.
"Light? You okay?" I gently placed my hand on his shoulder, slowly gaining worry.
"I finally have it.. the death note" Light finally spoke, his eyes glued to the book. "Look at all these written rules, do you think these are all real?"
....
"I see you've found it again, Light!" a mysterious and deep voice enters from behind, causing both Light and I to jump from our seats in shock.
"WHO.. WHO ARE YOU?" I exclaimed, my hands tightly gripping the nearest possible weapon beside me, a pillow.
"Woah, woah. Calm down! Light surely recognizes me, don't you Light?" He laughs, a smile so wide, it could eat me whole. He looked extremely tall with wide shoulders and creepy eyes.
this thing was not human..
"Ryuk.." Light mumbles, his head facing down; his hair covering his eyes.
"Ha haa! It's been a long time, Light. Have you got apples for me?"
"Light..who is this? How does he know you? Is he connected to the death note somehow?!" I had so many questions and I couldn't muster up the courage to move an inch from my position.
"y/n" Light walks towards me, gently taking my hands and holding them with so much care and affection. "Don't be afraid. This is Ryuk, a shinigami. He owns the death note" He looks up and smiles as his warmth comforts me, calming my nerves.
"A shinigami? I didn't realize that this notebook could come with a plus one.." I sighed, slowly letting go of the pillow and dropping it right on the floor as I gaze at the creature hovering in the living room.
"Yes, a shinigami! Awesome, huh?" He floats around the house, as if he was a regular visitor.
"I know it's shocking but I think I remember most of the things that I forgot. I remember what I used to do as Kira and the way I used this death note but not everything. The amnesia still caused me to forget"
"Yup, the moment you touch the notebook, you regain all your memories of being kira and let me just say, you were a troublesome one" Ryuk laughed but it sounded more like a cackle.
"I do remember.. but I can't seem to recall who pushed me off that building or why I ended there in the first place" Light sighs, scratching his nape. "Do you know anything about this, Ryuk?"
"Of course, I do. I was with you that whole time! I'm willing to tell you all about it in under one condition"
"What is it?" I asked, seemingly curious.
"Apples. He wants apples" Light answers, walking up to the fridge. "May I, y/n?" He turns to look at me, asking if he could grab some apples for the hungry shinigami.
"Yeah, sure" I nodded in response.
It scares me that I was only terrified of this being for a brief minute. Is this going to be my new normal? Am I just going to have to accept that Light have spent his time with this creature longer that he has with me..?
"Here. Help yourself but you better thank y/n, this is her apartment" Light tosses a plastic bag full of apples to Ryuk right before sitting back on the sofa.
"Thank you! I've missed this more than I've missed you Light" He laughs again, gobbling the fruit in his hand in less than a minute.
"Now, tell me how I got there and who shot and pushed me. Spare no detail"
