Scout sat on one side of the bed, near her pillows. Ryuk sat on the other end. Both had their legs crossed indian style.
"So, let me get this strait," Scout said, " You're the only one who can kill me?"
"I'm the only Shinigami who can kill you. You can die without a Shinigami killing you. But, when you die, or if I decide to
kill you, I have to write your name in my Death Note."
Scout nodded, "Oh. Got it..." She yawned, "So basically, I'm stuck with you until I die, or you kill me?"
"Or if you give up ownership of the Death Note," Ryuk added.
Scout's stomach growled, "I think I'll go downstairs and eat something," She muttered to herself, climbing off the bed.
"Don't you think you ought to hide the Death Note? In case someone finds it?" Ryuk asked.
"Uh...right..." Scout said, kicking herself for not thinking about that. She picked up the Death Note and reached into her
dresser drawer. She puled out a lavender book cover with white daisies on it. She slipped the cover on and shoved the
Death Note inside her Pillow case.
"There. Now if anyone finds it, they'll think it's a diary."
"Light did something like that once," Ryuk commented as he followed Scout downstairs. Scout whent into the kitchen and
opened up the fridge. She pulled out a bag of Apples. Ryuks eyes widened.
"APPLES!"
Quicker than Scout could react, Ryuk grabbed an apple from the bag and tossed the whole thing in his mouth chewing
enthusiastically.
Scout stared at him, "You're not suppose to eat the seeds, they've got cyanide in them.
Ryuk grabbed another apple, "So? I can't die."
Scout just ssat own at the table and began slowly eating her her apple. Ryu reached for another one, taking bites and
savoring the flavor.
"Ah...Human Realm Apples taste so much better than in the Shinigami realm. more...Juicy."
What's Shinigami Realm apple taste like?" She asked, curious.
Ryuk pulled one out of his pocket and held it out, "Taste it."
Scout looked hestiantly at the fruit. It was whithered-looking and green. Like a bell pepper.
"I think I'll pass..."
"Come on, it's not gonna kill you," Ryuk urged, giving one of his creepy grins. Scout took the fruit from Ryuk and took a
bite. At first she didn't notice anything, but the the taste hit her like a freight train
"Blech! it's horrid!" she gagged, spitting out the chewed piece of apple. Ryuk cackled as she quickly took thee bites from
her regular apple to get the taste out. She glared at him, "You knew I'd react like that, didn't you?" she asked accusingly.
Ryuk just grabbed another apple and began eating it.
Scout woke up the next morning at about 8:00. she moaned and rolled over onto her side, opening her eyes.
"Morning"
"Gah!" she yelped, before realizing it was Ryuk. She remembered the events from yesterday and groaned loudly.
"Why god, why?" she asked herself.
Ryuk gave a smirk, "Because I felt like it."
Scout saw his teeth and grimaced, "Ugh...just look at those teeth..."
"What's wrong with my teeth?"
"Never mind," Scout said sitting up. She headed towards the bathroom. Ryuk followed her. Scout gave him a look.
"A-hem..."
"What?"
Scout crossed her arms.
"Oh, uh, right..." Ryuk said, "girls don't like being watched in the bathroom, do they?"
He stepped back and allowed Scout to shut the door to the bathroom. Mike emerged from his room, wearing a pair of
baggy pajama bottoms and a sleeveless shirt. He walked right through Ryuk and knocked on the bathroom door
"Scout, you in there?"
"Yeah, hold on a second, lemme get in the shower...."
After a minute, Mike entered the bathroom, as it appeared Scout had gotten into the shower. He came out a few moments
later, flushing the toilet and washing his hands, once again walking through Ryuk.
Ryuk followed him downstairs. the Apple bag was still on the table. there was one apple left. Mike picked it up and set it on
the counter. He reached into the fridge to get something. Ryuk snatched the apple off the counter and headed back upstairs.
Mike turned back to get the apple.
"Hey...where'd it go?"
000000ooooo000000
Scout wrapped her hair into a towel and put on her bathrobe. She headed back towards her bedroom. Ryuk was sitting on
her bed, eating an apple and looking through her book collection
"You've got a lot of books about teeth...you got a fetish or something?"
Scout whent over and took the books from Ryuk
"I happen to be studying to be a dentist," she said, putting them back on the shelf.
"A dentist? but thats so boring..."
"Says you," Scout said, "It pays a lot."
"How much?"
"My mom makes about 18.50 an hour."
"Ooh, how much is that in apples?"
Scout did some mental calculation.
"About 2000."
Ryuk made a noise in his throat.
"I fully support the dentistry profession" he declared, taking a huge bite out of his apple.
