Chapter 1: L
Ryuk flew high over Tokyo. It was dark now, 21:43 (9:43 P.M.). He was looking for a new place to "drop" the note. He flew over a luxury apartment building. That's a nice spot, he thought. He angled it just right and dropped it, perfectly landing it in the apartment.
A hunched human had been squatting in a chair, eating a sundae. He heard a slap/thud on the floor by his window. He put down the sundae and started biting his thumbnail, turning around.
Ryuk was on the balcony, and he saw the man. The black messy hair he had that slightly covered his black-ringed brown eyes. He had on a wrinkled, long-sleeve white tee shirt and faded, wrinkly blue jeans. He had no shoes. The estranged, hunched man got up and slowly walked toward the black book on his hardwood floor.
"Hmm…what is this?" he asked himself. He picked it up and read the cover aloud. "A Death Note? How to use it…" he read the instructions. "Death God? What the hell? Is this for real?"
"Of course," said Ryuk, stepping out from the shadowed balcony and into the man's view, "who would joke about this?"
The man screamed and fell to the ground. "What the hell! How'd you get into my house? Who are you?"
"Slow down, bub. Well, firstly, see these wings? That's how I got up here. My name is Ryuk; I am a Death God, Shinigami. Nice to meet you, L Lawliet."
"How the hell do you know my real name?" Lawliet said.
Ryuk explained about the Shinigami eyes and everything else to L.
"Ah, okay," L said in a low, mumbly tone, "I, along with agent Naomi Misora of the FBI, arrested a suspect with the name of B, about five years ago. He was rumored to have been born with the eyes of a Shinigami."
"He was. His mother had Shinigami eyes, and they were inherited to him."
"How would you know this?"
"I gave his mother that ability."
"Ah…" L turned around and walked to his chair, "would you like something sweet, a sugar cube, per sei?"
Ryuk saw an apple sitting on the table. "Nah, I think I'll take that." He strolled over and grabbed the apple out of the basket. He took a chunk out of it, started chewing, then spit it out. "Ptoo! What is this crap apple?"
"That was not a real apple, my Shinigami friend." L said to Ryuk, smirking. "That was cardboard, for decoration. I was going to warn you, but, oh well, too late for that." L grabbed a spoon and stacked about 15 sugar cubes on it. He put his mouth over it and filled his jaw with sugar…a lot of freaking sugar.
"Uhh…are you really eating that much sugar?" Ryuk said, tilting his head, "Won't that increase a risk of death?"
"Oh, I'm ufed to dif," L said, his voice distorted by the sugar in his mouth.
"Uh…okay."
Ryuk walked over towards the balcony, unfolding his pitch black wings. "I'm going to visit a friend of mine. Do whatever you want with that Death Note," he said, "it's yours until you die."
He jumped and began slowly flapping his wings. L opened the book and flipped to the first page.
This is going to be interesting, Ryuk thought, evilly chuckling, first, Light had the Death Note. Now L does. They can both see me.
He flew over a fruit store and gasped in delight. He swooped down and flew through the roof. There was a shelf full of apples. His already smiling face smiled even more as he did a fist pump and snatched one of the red delicious fruits off of the shelf and flew back up.
