Disclaimer: I do not own Trigun nor Death Note.

One day, Ryuk was walking along the road in the city of Mercaline. It was here that Vash the Stampede was rumored to be. Ryuk wanted the money for his own uses.

"Hyuk hyuk hyuk…" Ryuk laughed as he spotted a red cloak man with blonde hair. There was the 60 billion double dollar man! His shinigami eyes instantly made sure that that person was really Vash. He took out his death note and wrote Vash's whole name in it.

"Hyuk hyuk hyuk…" After exactly 40 seconds, Vash the Stampede dropped dead. Ryuk calmly walked over to Vash's dead body, took out a piece of normal lined paper that he picked off of the ground and wrote:

This is the 60 Billion Double Dollar man you're after. Convert the money to apples, and drop them in front of the nearest bar house in this city. I will expect the apples by tomorrow afternoon. Make sure no one sees you.

Genius, Ryuk, genius, he praised himself. Ryuk taped the note onto the back of the victim. And now, to make sure no one steals his precious apples.

*_-/\-_*

After a few minutes, the local sheriff walked onto Vash's dead body.

"Hm?" He picked him up and looked at the note taped to it. "What! Is this a prank?" He immediately took the corpse to the police department for inspection.

*_-/\-_*

"This seems like the real deal," said the head of the police. "It seems like this dangerous man has finally been caught. But the payment this mysterious person requires is rather odd…" He trailed off. "No matter, arrange the apples and drop them off in front of the bar!"

*_-/\-_*

"Yess…." Ryuk hissed as he watched a human drop off the load of apples. He walked over to it as soon as the human disappeared. Ryuk picked up the heavy basket of nearly one hundred billion apples. "I could live off of this!" With that, he threw one into his mouth.

"Mmm…."

Short and sweet, eh?
