A ran off, a wide grin splitting his face. B simply dips his fingers in the strawberry jam and turns to the newcomer behind him.
"Hello, Miss. Who are you?"
"Remu."
"Why can nobody see you?"
"You can see me, Beyond Birthday."
"True. Why are you so tall?"
"I am not human."
"If you're not human, what are you?"
"A Shinigami."
"A Death God? Aren't Death Gods invisible."
"Only to those who cannot see us."
"Huh?"
"Only those with Shinigami Eyes can see us."
"How can I see you?"
"You have Shinigami Eyes."
"What does that mean?"
"You see what a Shinigami sees. You see names and numbers..."
"You mean other people don't?!"
"Correct."
"How do they know people's names?"
"They remember them."
"Oh." Beyond gazes up at the great mummified monster floating before him, sucking a strawberry pip from his finger. "Miss Remu, what happened to your eye?"
Remu fingers the bandages, and gives a week laugh. "I dropped it."
"Dropped it?"
"Yes. I wanted to see the world as a human would. So I dropped it."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Yes."
"Where is it?"
Remu leans down, until she is on eye level with the jam-slurping child. Her pallid face fills Beyond's vision, but he just stares evenly at the nightmarish being, who doesn't answer his question. She simply grins, gives his wiry hair a gentle pat with her bony fingers, and says, "Take good care of it, Beyond Birthday." And with those words, she vanishes.
B doesn't even muse over the statement. He licks his fingers clean, puts the empty jar down on the table and runs off in the direction A had disappeared in.
In your eyes, your eyes,

In your eye, your eyes
Everything
A/N:
I don't own Death Note, or Pretty Reckless's song Make Me Wanna Die, which is where I got the bold quotes from.
I know there's a lot of dialogue. Sorry. Please don't hurt me *hides*
