By the way, this is an interlude... I cried when I wrote it...
Rem walked cautiously into the dark room, avoiding eye contact with everyone else except the person sitting in front of her. She kept her face carefully blank and passive as she spoke, "You have summoned me?" She spat.
"Yes, Rem," Kira chuckled, amused by her antics. "Actually, I want you to do a favor for me."
"What's in it for me?" Rem frowned. Kira usually never asked her for favors.
"It'll keep Misa safe."
Rem gritted her teeth, 'Of course, threatening the ones I love. How Kira-like.' She sighed, trying to relax. "You've got my attention; what the hell is it?" She demanded.
"You!" A strong hand gripped her wrist tightly, almost at the point of breaking it. Rem winced, both at the volume at the voice and the force being applied to her wrist. "Do not talk to Kira-sama like that!"
"Mikami!" Kira ordered, "Do not harm her. I am not offended in any way."
Mikami hesitated, and then backed off from the white-haired nurse. "Yes, Kira-sama…" Rem glared viciously at the teacher, and Mikami glared back.
"Enough," Kira said silkily, "Ryuk, bring him in."
Ryuk cackled, "Sure, boss." He then started to drag a small figure into the room by a rope. The figure was a male, with scruffy brown hair and black eyes. He was wearing a tan long-sleeved shirt and baggy jeans. He wore no footwear. He was beat up, one part of his face swelling and two black eyes. His clothes were torn and loose. The small man was tied up with strong rope, preventing his escape.
Rem gasped as she recognised him, "Gelus?" She whispered, her voice quivering a bit. She turned to look at Ryuk, and he looked quite solemn and apologetic.
"What's happening? Wh-what happened to him?!" Rem demanded from Ryuk. The janitor held up his hands in a feeble attempt to defend himself.
"Enough Rem," Their leader demanded, "Or Amane-san is gone."
Gelus' sleepless and battered eyes widened, "W-What, no! Not Misa!" He rasped.
"What have you done, Kira?" Rem growled, greatly angered by the state her best friend was in. Gelus looked weakly up at her and smiled.
"Gelus here," Kira explained smoothly, "He killed - not one, but two - of my members in an effort to protect Misa. He is going to get punished by your hand."
"What do you mean?" Rem whispered.
"D-Don't do this, Kira." Gelus protested weakly, "She doesn't deserve to do this…"
"Quiet, fool! Do not defy Kira-sama!" Mikami yelled, shoved Ryuk out of the way and pushed Gelus down on the ground. He then proceeded to kick the small man in the ribs twice.
"Stop!" Rem hissed, kicking Mikami in the stomach and sending him staggering backwards.
"Enough," Kira muttered, his voice lacing impatience. All the people inside the room froze, not wanting to face Kira's wrath. "Ryuk, if you please…"
Ryuk dismissed the tension in the room and addressed Kira carelessly, "Sure, sure boss… whatever." He took a gun out of his pocket and handed it to Rem gently. "I'm sorry, Rem." He whispered, feeling absolutely guilty about this.
"Sorry…? For what?" The nurse muttered.
"Ahem," Kira interrupted, "Rem, I have a simple task for you. I want you to dispose of this trash currently lying on the ground."
Rem then realised the significance of the gun, "I… I can't do that…." She muttered, clearly in shock.
"You have to," Ryuk spoke for Kira. "Or else Misa will get killed. Or worse…"
Rem shuddered at the thought of Kira's goons torturing Misa like that. "I…But…Gelus…" Her voice quivered, not eager to do the task set before her.
Gelus lifted his head from the grimy floor, smiling lightly. "Do it for Misa, Rem. With these wounds I know I will have a slow and painful death." He coughed violently, some blood trickling down the side of his mouth. "Do not feel guilty… If you do it you would've saved me from a painful death… please Rem…"
"You're my best friend Gelus…I can't!" But she raised the gun and pointed it at Gelus' chest, where his heart should be. Her hands were shaking violently, holding a tight grip on the gun.
"Do it, now." Kira smirked sadistically, amused by the scene before him. Ryuk glanced at his leader disgustedly and turned away to look at the wall. Mikami walked to Kira's side and smirked maliciously with him.
Rem closed her eyes tightly, her salty tears threatening to spill out…
And fired.

Near: I too used to have an unhealthy obsession with sugar. But I got sick because I ate too much... Watch the sugar, you don't want to do anything dangerous, do you? And the color of my undergarments... well they're either black or white...
Mello: Erm, uke to L I can live with. Even BB. They're both, excuse my French, my fucking idols. Haha, careful about your brother's well-being. He sounds traumatised. Either black or red undergarments by the way.
Matt: Hell yes! -giggles- Oh, and I have this awesome pair of striped boxers! Actually I have many pairs of striped boxers, but the pink and green one is my favorite!
Everyone else: -stares-
Matt: What?
B: Haha, your sugar high is almost as worse as Matt's! My undergarments are either black and red, and the occasional blue. Why do you want to know?
L: Maybe, maybe not. Mine are either red or blue.
