A/N: I live! If any of you read my other stories, I'm trying to update... Hehe... Btw, thiocyanate is a chemical compound similar to cyanide.
Apples, apples, apples. That was all that the stupid shinigami ever talked about. Really, he was getting to be a bit of a nuisance. Light was trying to save the world, after all; he couldn't be bothered to buy apples for some egomaniacal shinigami.
Ryuk was in his room, looking for cameras, while he was out gathering apples. Perhaps he wouldn't notice a little something extra?
---
"Hey, Light, the cameras are gone!" Ryuk exclaimed. "Did you get the apples?"
Light silently handed one over, rolling his eyes at the childish thing that was floating around his room. Really, the sooner he was gone, the better.
Ryuk ate the apple in two bites, core and all, savoring the juices running over his tongue. After a moment, he noticed that Light was staring at him intently.
"What are you looking at?"
He could have sworn that he heard Light muttering "Any second now…"
"Seriously, what?"
"Why isn't it working?! You should be dead by now!"
Ah, so that's why the apple had been bitter. "You tried to kill me?"
"Cyanide usually has that effect, yes…"
Humans were so entertaining. "Sorry, but I'm going to be sticking around for a while. There's only one way to kill shinigami, and this ain't it. But it'll be interesting to watch you try to figure it out."
The next day, Light tried thiocyanate…
