It was a bit later and the creature's clothing was now as symmetrical as it could be. The creature itself had grayish blue skin, black hair that spiked upward, and red eyes. He had some sort of raggedy black, and now symmetrical, dress on with a brown belt that had two now identical off pockets that had a Death Note in one and a fake Death Note in the other. Kid still had his Death Note on the floor.
"Well, now that you're not utterly horrid to look at, my name's Death the Kid," Kid said.
"Mine is Ryuk," the creature, Ryuk, said.
"Okay Ryuk, in the rules, it says if someone touches the Death Note, they can see you, but nobody else, right?" Kid asked.
"Yep. Anyone who touched the Death Note in the last 30 days will be able to see me," Ryuk said.
'Soul will be a problem then,' Kid thought. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Patty yelled. A few seconds later she yelled "Kid, it's for all of us!"
"Coming!" Kid yelled back. He walked down the stairs with Ryuk floating behind him. At the door was Spirit, and his head was bleeding like he'd been Maka chopped.
"Spirit, what are you doing here?" Kid asked and joined Liz and Patty by the door.
"You know how you told us to inform you if any other kishin eggs die of heart attack? Well, twenty-four have. It seems like someone is specifically trying to kill this way. We want to find the person responsible to make sure they use their powers for good instead of evil. Lord Death wants you, Maka, Black Star, and all of your weapons to be the ones responsible for this task," Spirit said.
"Wow, a super special mission! That sounds so cool!" Patty exclaimed.
"Wait, kishen eggs can get heart attacks? Where do their souls go?" Liz asked.
"Since they're not murdered directly, they're bodies don't disappear, so the souls stay inside and are unusable," Spirit explained.
"Interesting," Kid said. "So when does the team meet?"
"Tomorrow, instead of going to Sein's class go to room 78."
"Got it! Bye," Patty said and closed the door.
"So, you have to go find yourself with some friends?" Ryuk said.
"It's getting late, we should go to bed. We don't want to be tired while looking for a kishen murderer," Kid said instead of answering Ryuk.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Liz said and went upstairs while Patty followed, excitedly rambling farfetched ideas that might happen tomorrow.
Kid went back upstairs too and went to his room. He grabbed the Death Note off the floor and flipped to a random empty piece of paper.
"Are you going to turn yourself in?" Ryuk asked.
"No, it just doesn't seem like I should yet. I'll just fake help them at first," Kid said as he stared at the page he was on.
"What are you going to do with that page?" Ryuk asked.
"One of the people in the group we're making tomorrow touched the book," Kid said.
"Are you going to kill him?"
"No, he's my friend," Kid said.
Ryuk laughed. "So much for keeping the Death Note a secret then."
"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you," Kid said and put his hand on the blank page.
"Oh? And why is that?"
Kid smiled. "You're going to have to put up with Black Star," he said and started carefully and perfectly ripping the page out of the death note.
