A/N: This actually happened today at lunch, and I could just picture Ryuk crying over the shattered remains of the apple.... Wow, that sounded emo. By the way, this story is dedicated to the brave fruit that gave its life for the inspiration of this story. Now remember the 2 Rs and the E: Read, Enjoy, Review!
It was a normal day for Ryuk; Light was in school, and he was bored out of his mind. Why on earth should he care about how to multiply polynominals? He was a frickin' Shinigami! Anyway, he decided to drift off down the street, and stare at people, giving them vaguely uneasy feelings, until a commotion by the local junior high school caught his eye, mostly because of the apple.
What Ryuk saw was a blonde boy taking an apple-a round, red, juicy, scrumptious apple- out of a plastic bag and say "Anybody else want it?" A red headed boy took the apple, and turning to a blonde girl with very short hair, said "Hey, Catch!" He threw the apple at the girl, who missed it by about a foot. It started rolling down the hill, and the girl ran after it, muttering several bad words under her breath. When she had picked up the slightly bruised apple, she yelled, grinning, "Why'd you do that? You know I have no hand-eye co-ordination!" The boy laughed. She tossed the apple back to him, and Ryuks eyes followed it. He was so tempted to take a bite, just one bite, they'd never even know where the apple had gone.... And then the boy missed it. The poor, abused apple went rolling down the hill again, with the girl running after it. After retrieving it, and walking back up the hill, she handed the apple to the red head and said " I don't care what you do to it, I'm not saving it's ass again!" A brunnette girl standing nearby laughed and tackle-hugged the blonde, squealing, "Hello Kitty!" The red-headed boy shrugged, and walked down to the garbage can to throw the apple out. "Yes!" Ryuk was his chance! They'd never notice an apple missing from a garbage can! Finally, the torment of waiting would be over!!!!! Alas, it was not to be. Just as the boy reached the garbage, a few younger looking kids standing nearby yelled, "Smash it into the wall!"
Ryuk almost fainted as the boy smiled and threw the bruised, slightly-hacked-at, juicy apple towards the wall.
SMASH!!!!
The kids the boy hung out with laughed. Some applauded. A teacher scolded the boy for wasting food. But all of this was lost on Ryuk, who was floating at the point of impact, trying desperately to lick the shattered remains of the apple from the wall, crying softly.
Students arrving at school the next morning noticed a small tombstone standing by the wall that had killed the apple.
