Assistance

"Rem's been unusually quiet, don't you think?" asked Sidoh, in an almost worried tone. It was true. Ever since Rem started viewing the Human World regularly, she seldom ever spoke. In fact, she'd only talk if you spoke to her first yourself. There isn't much to do in the Shinigami Realm, though most would at least socialize with each other, or engage in some activity together.

"Yeah, I know," responded Ryuk. He didn't seem as interested as Sidoh.

"What does she find so interesting in that Human World?" asked Sidoh again.

"I don't know. Why don't you go ask her?" said Ryuk. He let out a slight chuckle.

"I don't even know where she is," said Sidoh, almost as an excuse.

"Well I'll go find her for your, how about that? Either way it'll give me something to do around here." Without awaiting any reply, Ryuk stood up and flew away immediately, leaving Sidoh by himself.

"REM! WHERE ARE YOU?" Ryuk started shouting midflight. It was probably all in vain. He kept on attempting the same routine for almost fifteen minutes now. He tried again, for the last time. "REM!"

As he looked to the left he spotted a long, skeletal figure staring into some shifting sphere. The figure turned around; it was Rem.

"Ryuk!" she shouted at the other black figure in mid-air, that has already started descending to Rem's location.

Before he could speak, Rem interrupted what he was about to say. "Ryuk, what do you want?"

"Sidoh wants to know what's so interesting in that Human World, that you kept stalking the people in it for seven days straight. I'm a bit interested too, to be honest," said Ryuk in his strange, unusual voice.

"What? There's nothing, I just... find it... interesting that's all," responded Rem. It was obvious she was bluffing.

"Best excuse I'v heard this week. Come on, what's so special there?"

There was an awkward, prolonged silence until Rem finally spoke again.

"Well, it's just that some of these... humans. They're so, despicable. Self-indulged; heartless. The things they do... I know, I shouldn't care, but some of the people there... I just... I just can't stand seeing them, so innocently, as the others keep on committing some of the worst crimes imaginable."

Ryuk let out another not-so-heartly chuckle. "So?" That's all he had to say.

"So? I want to do something about it."

"What?" He actually sounded surprised for once. "And what exactly do you want to do about it?"

"I... I..." There was another moment of silence. "I want to give them my Death Note."

"Are you serious? And who are "them?"" Ryuk seemed even more baffled.

"By "them" I mean three people. These three people have the ability to stop these criminals. I've been analyzing them for quite some time now, before I started researching the Human World regularly."

"So, what, you're going to give them your Death Note? And do they even know one another? And also, what do you expect them to do, share it?"

"Well, yes, unless you're willing to-" Rem was cut off mid sentence.

"I'm not going to give them mine, that would be foolish," Ryuk said plainly.

"Oh, I see..." said Rem in disappointment, as she tilted her head downwards.

"However... I'll give you Sidoh's and Gelus' instead," Ryuk told her.

"And how do you plan on obtaining them?" asked Rem. Her head was in its previous position again, before she let it down dramatically.

"Oh, it'll be easy. They're not the smartest Shinigami here, nor the most responsible bunch."

"I see then... well, that would help me a lot... thank you," said Rem firmly.

Ryuk didn't respond and left, only to be paused by Rem.

"Ryuk, wait... why do you want to help me?" asked Rem. She knew him well. He couldn't care less about the outcome of the Human World, and she wanted to see why exactly he'd take the time to steal Sidoh's and Gelus' Death Notes.

"Why?" said Ryuk.

"Because I'm bored."
