"Chapter 1: Forbidden Ransom"

--

Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who liked the previous chapter. I've decided this chapter will be about Light in the Shinigami World. The last section is a new feature I'll be adding where I do a quote about Death at the end of every chapter.

"Spirits, come forward! You will race for the title of Shinigami!" called the Shingami King. He took a curious look at Light. The shinigami all looked at him...

"Are we all gonna stare, our are we gonna find out who comes back or not?" a girl asked. She was of British descent, and right next to Light.

"Hn," said the guy next to her. "I have an idea. We're gonna ransom for our lives back. When the king says to start the race, you two will try to steal his apple, while I go for his sack of apples. If what Kira said was right, and Death Gods like apples, we should be able to ransom back for immortality… and Death Notes."

Light looked over at the man. He sounded vastly familiar. Light ignored it and nodded his head.

"Seems I was stuck next to two people that can save me… Hm… maybe Kira CAN become a God!" thought Light. The Shinigami King gave the signal to start.

"NOW!" yelled the man, and Light and the woman charged the Shinigami King. They ripped the apple from his hand. The king attempted to grab Light, who now had the apple, but the woman tripped him.

"Apples retrieved!" yelled the man.

"Give back my damn apples!" demanded the Shinigami King.

"We want our lives back, bitch."

Light and a British woman teleported straight on the carpet in front of Joshua. Joshua pulled a pistol from under his desk and shot him in the chest in haste.

"Well… it seems mighty Kira has cheated death after all…" remarked Ryuk.

A man teleported onto the sidewalk and walked down it in his hoodie.
