…Shinigami no Sonzai…
Chapter 2: Shinigami wa Ringo shika Tabenai
Yagami Light… the ace student who picked up Shinigami Ryuku's Death Note is now taking a break. He goes down the stairs while Ryuku follows him. In the dinning table, a small basket filled of red apples is resting. Light chooses the reddest then takes a bite.
Crunch!
"Ryuku, you said Shinigamis take lives of other humans to gain lifespan right?" said Light, chewing the bits of apple.
"Hmm… yeah. Shinigami doesn't did of hunger nor even shot by a gun. We die when we ran out of life." Ryuku stares at the happily eating student. "By the way, that apple looks tasty…"
"Eh? Shinigamis eats? You said Shinigami won't die unless you ran out of life." One-third of the apple's cream color flesh is exposed.
"I didn't say we can't eat nor sleep. Can I have one too?" It seems like Ryuku is about to drool. His index finger is touching his lower lip, eager to eat the delicious looking red apple.
"Sure. It's interesting to know more about shinigami." Light heads back to the dinning table and takes another red apple. He tosses the apple to Ryuku.
Ryuku catches the apple and as soon as he takes hold of the apple, he takes a huge bite.
Crunch!
"Delicious!"
Crunch!
"Juicy!"
Crunch!
Light chuckles, "Interesting, Ryuku! Shinigamis love apples!" said Light.
Crunch! "Not all shinigamis love apples. It depends on the shinigami. It happens to be I love apples." Ryuku finishes his apple including the core. "Light seems to be enjoying my company. I'm bored if you don't write any in the Death Note."
"Eh? Sorry but I have no plans to kill anyone. You see, I'm going to become a police like my father. I'm the one who's going to catch the murderers!" Light expresses his point with his arms wide spread.
"You can do both. You can out smart anyone in the police so place write some names in the Death Note. I can feel that you can use the notebook in a very interesting way." Ryuku flies around Light, begging.
"Ah! Ryuku, since no one is home we can play Mario Golf." Said Light.
"Yay!" Ryuku happily dances around.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Alert sounds from the computer… he receives a call.
"Ryuzaki, another 29 heart attack victims. One of the prisoner victim left a message." Said an old man's voice.
The boy with the same age as Light speaks, "Okay, Watari… please send me the image."
The greatest detective, L, is thinking over again. 'Now what does he really want?'
The message wrote:
Kitto boku wa KIRA no korosareru
Itsumo boku no nakade ommoteta
Riyu wa boku ga hanzaisha dakara
Akirakani boku ni wa nigeru basho wa nai
Wakatteta no
Aitsu ga
Kitto boku wo korosu
Aitsu wo osore
Mou boku wa oshimai
Itsuka shokei sareu unmei dakara
"The actually message is… KIRA wa Kami (Kira is the god)… Kira…" muttered L.
"I win, Ryuku!"
"One more time, Light! Next time I will win!"
Light had already won several times while Ryuku didn't have any winnings.
"No. Mom may come back anytime so we should call this for now." Light puts away the game then turns on the TV to watch the news.
"This is KIRA's works!" shouted the reporter. The man lying down in the ground is dead.
"KIRA?" muttered Light. "Heart attack… Ryuku…" Light's thoughts are overflowing. 'The name of the human written in this note shall die… if the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of heart attack.'
"What's wrong, Light?" asked Ryuku.
"Ryuku… is that the power of the Death Note?" Light's eyes are partly filled with fear.
"The three kidnappers a while ago all died! 'All of them suddenly collapsed' said the girl. It seems KIRA rescued the girl!" The reporter continues to report the deaths of criminals.
Just a short one for now. The main story begins in the next chapter! OTANOSHIMI NI!
