Chapter Two:
Street Talk
Days later, Light Yagami was chuckling, partially to himself and partially to the creature that drifted along behind him. "It's too bad I can't be there to see his face when he gets a taste of that Danish candy. Pity." Light chuckled once more, and this time the specter following him joined in with an unholy cackle.
"I got to see it Light," snickered the monster, grinning widely at the flash of irritation overtaking the face of his human companion. "Ryuk, what did I tell you about spying on L when I'm not nearby?" Light demanded. "To not to," Ryuk cackled unashamedly. "I'm a shinigami, not a servant. I don't have to do everything you say." "Light grimaced then sighed. "If you want me to buy you any more apples, you will. You could at least tell me where my belt's gotten to," he huffed, pulling his drooping pants up for the millionth time.
The two crossed a damp deserted street near the old deserted factory. Light immediately relaxed as his shoulder brushed the fence while he walked along. Here he could loosen up a bit, and not worry about L hacking into the city's security cameras, for here there were none.
Light took his right hand out of his coat pocket and tossed the recently revealed blood red apple into the air. Ryuk swooped down and caught the fruit in his mouth like a dog catches a tennis ball. Light shook his head.
"It feels like you're a monster one minute, and then a pet at the next," he complained sullenly, watching the shinigami devour the apple.
"Well maybe if you got me apples more often, then maybe I'd be more inclined to listening to you," Ryuk retorted, wiping his mouth with the back if his hand.
"Hmph." Light turned his back on Ryuk. "Show me a drop of loyalty, and maybe I'll consider it," he muttered darkly, stuffing his hands back into pockets and walking down the ever-deserted sidewalk.
Ryuk mulled it over in his head as he drifted silently behind. "Well…" he hesitated, coming to a stop mid-air. Light froze. "Well, what?" he snarled, not even bothering to turn around.
The shinigami giggled at Light's discontent, then said, "He looked real mad but after a while, he couldn't stop smiling and rubbing his feet together."
Light wheeled to face Ryuk. He was smiling? Damn it. He's up to something. Light thought as he tossed Ryuk another apple. "There, now that wasn't so difficult was it?" Light sneered.
Ryuk calmly munched on his apple as Light turned away. "Too bad I didn't tell you what else I saw," Ryuk thought sourly, still hung up about the apples. Sulking, he followed his human companion down the deserted street, just seething with resentment towards Light and something almost like gratitude towards L for what L was going to do: provide him with a good show.
