A/N: I kinda got lazy on this prologue. Sorry! I just really wanted to get to the stories.
Chapter 1: Prologue
"Light!" Ryuk the Shinigami called out to his Death Note's owner. "You got any apples?"
"Yeah," Light replied, and tossed one over his shoulder at the God of Death, who caught it and began munching instantly.
As Ryuk did this, Light began to think of L, as he often did, and how to eliminate the world's greatest detective. Strangely enough, he found himself beginning to compare himself and L to Snow White and the Evil Queen; The Evil Queen was constantly trying to hunt down Snow White and kill her in order to become the fairest in the land. Light wondered if he could ever think of himself as an evil queen, or king in his case. He decided against it, with the thought crossing his mind that perhaps he would be Snow White, with L chasing after him as an Evil Queen claiming all along that she was fairest, and Snow White, a lovely, yet charmingly evil girl.
This very trail of thought began to remind him of another fairy tale. And another. And another. And another. Cinderella, Thumbelina, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, fairy tales he hadn't heard since boyhood.
Light laid down on his bed. As more and more began to flash into his mind, he began to feel a little tired.
His eyes began to shut. The last thing he saw was Ryuk's mostly-eaten apple, with the exception of the core.
Then Kira gave himself to slumber, and fell asleep.
