Sorry this is late, but thanks to everyone who urged me to continue writing.
Premise: Ryuk convinces the shinigami King to turn Light into a cat so that he can infiltrate L. Only problem is…L hates cats.

Of Cats and Cake
Chapter 10
"Where is Light-kun, Ryuuzaki?" Matsuda seemed to almost yell, and with a hint of wonder in his voice too.
"Yes, Ryuuzaki, tell me where my son is!"
L wasn't saying anything, just waiting for more anticipation to build up, basking in the glory in the meanwhile, glory of these idiots. Not like that mattered anyway.
Light was very curious to know just where he was, because he was damn sure L had no damn clue, he was the cat sleeping on his tiles at night. But, unfortunately, Light couldn't stay to find out. He had work to do.
"Ryuuk!" no answer.
"Ryuuk!" Light was screaming at the top of his lungs.
Ryuuk was sure to hear his voice no matter how cat-like, he was a shinigami after all, and he'd made Light this way, or…at least had some of the juice in him that he must understand him, at least he seemed to at times.
"Ryuuk!" but the shinigami wasn't responding.
Light stood at the top of the building L and his crew were currently in, and Light too. His mission was far from complete, but there were so many things to be done, just that damn Ryuuk!
It was all his fault.
Light decided to try one more time.
"Ryuuk!" still no reply. He waited though.
Silence.
Light stared into the glare of the sky. It was gray and nasty today, just how he liked it. He admired the view.
"Booh!"
And as fate would have it, that was when Ryuuk decided to show, scaring Light out of his fur.
"Ryuuk!"
The shinigami doubled up laughing, probably having planned the whole prank.
"Damn you!" he yelled and screamed, but all that came out were pathetic mewls.
"Poor Cat-san, do you need your litter box?" he cracked another joke.
He was just filled with jokes.
Light had had it.
"Ryuuk!" he commanded, "one more stunt like that and I will poison all the apples in the world and make sure you never take another bite out of one." Ryuuk shut up immediately, going…well…even more pale than usual. Light smirked behind the kitty façade.
He added, "Especially the red ones."
There was a moment of silence before the big storm, or rather…well, Light liked the storm because it was immensely gratifying.
"Light, no, no, Light, I'm sorry! Please don't poison my apples! I love apples!"
Light had him right where he wanted him, just as planned.
"Ryuuk, I won't, as long as you listen to me!" he glared, "It's important and I don't have all day. I need to make sure L doesn't one up me, and that I one up him instead!"
"Uh…"
"Don't question my genius plan."
"Yes, Light."
"Good, now what have you done regarding my human form?"
"Uh…oh. That."
Light practically shook with rage.
"Yes. THAT."
"Well, uh…you said it would become a problem if you just disappeared and …uh…your dad was looking for you wasn't he?" he chuckled.
"What did you do."
"Hehe. It's funny."
"Tell me. NOW"
"Hehe, like…nah. Best you see for yourself."
He was gonna poison those apples all right. Damn Ryuuk. Wasting precious time.
One minute they were on the roof of L's building and…now…well.
"What. Is. Wrong. With. Me."
"Hehe, you like it?"
"Ryuuk!"
They were stood watching Light, or, rather the body of Light, stood outside his house banging his head against the door. By accident of course. His whole body was…walking into the door.
"Hehe, I call it…the 'Walker'" Ryuuk sported a huge grin.
What.
He was dealing with a bunch of idiots. Not only the idiots from the bureau but now…ugh.
"HOW am I supposed to make my plan work when you pull something like THIS, tell me that, Ryuuk."
He shrugged, "I'm just a shinigami."
"All the apples. Gone. That is a promise."
"NO! No Light, I can fix it I promise!" he faltered, "Or uh…I can see what I can do?"
Light glared at him.
"You better fix this. If this is what L claims to have 'found' then everything will be ruined, do you hear me?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Light turned back to stare at his human form.
"What's wrong with him anyway?"
"You mean your body?"
"What else." He shot a dark glare at Ryuuk.
"Doesn't think. Hehe. Kinda funny, seeing you don't think."
Light glared. "Don't get used to it," pause, "FIX it."
"Yeah."
"Now take me back before they suspect anything."
"Nah. You can walk. I have to fix this, hehe." He paused to take one last look at Light banging his head against the wall. "Who would suspect the cat anyway." He smirked.
And Ryuuk disappeared.
Damn him!
He stared at his body, 'the Walker'. He hoped it didn't break his nose hitting the wall like that. He'd kill Ryuuk if his face was anything less than perfect when this was all over.
Ryuuk did have a point though. Not even L would consider the possibility that Light had been turned into a cat, by a shinigami of all things.
He smirked.
No, he was going to win this; he was going to show L.
I have no idea when the next chapter is coming, but please review in the meanwhile? :)
