Hello you guys!!! (bows bows) Sorry for being gone so long. I've been too bad ass and crazy to write all year. But I'm retiring for a while now. Exams and stuff. So I shall be writing a lot! Yeaa!!

With one last curse at the shinigami's stupidity, and his own, Raito jumped-

Said shinigami however, wasn't expecting him to jump.

Just as Raito's feet left the roof, he noticed Ryuk's expression- The gaunt face looked completely shocked, the dark blue eyes wide-

Oh. So the bastard didn't think he was going to jump?

Oh.

So he's going to fall.

Oh.

After Raito's mind registered that thought, his mouth opened wide to scream but before he could even breathe in, he felt strong arms circle him and he was falling faster with the added weight before gliding straight up, like a swallow, or a plane.

Raito's heart was beating so fast, he thought he was going to have a heart attack ( a pun! Hee sorry – qurota) Raito's body trembled. He then felt Ryuk's body shake. Raito looked up to the Shinigami's only to see him laughing silently.

Raito glared. " What's so funny?"

" You! Your face was Hilarious!"

" I've could've of died, you retarded shinigami!"

" But you didn't, didn't you?" Ryuk answered, matter of factly, before adjusting Raito in his arms " Doesn't it feel great? Your first Real brush with death." Ryuk whispered in the little god's ear.

Raito shook his head vehemently. He disagreed. That was extremely reckless and stupid. That wasn't Kira. That was Raito, stupid, brilliant, naïve trusting Raito. The boy's honey eyes narrowed at the thought.

"Hey… I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd jump.." Ryuk said seriously. Raito looked at Ryuk's face, surprised. An apology was the last thing he would have expected from the shinigami.

"It's ok. You caught me in time, anyway." Raito brushed it off.

Ryuk's serious face turned playful. " Yeah, thank apples I did. You would have been a big pretty splat. You sure are full of surprises, Kira."

Raito scowled, which made the shinigami chuckle. Raito looked around and noticed they were flying higher and higher. Raito felt a breeze at his face and looked up- and gasped.

It was beautiful.

Dark skies, that goes on forever and ever. Each star glittering like diamonds around the moon. Tonight was a full moon. It shone brightly, like hiding all the crates, the imperfections.

Raito kept staring. He never saw anything so beautiful, up close.

Ryuk kept staring too. He never saw anyone so beautiful up close.

The boy's honey brown hair looked more like gold in the moonlihgt. It was slightly messy from the breeze, creating almost like a soft halo around his oval face. His eyes.. those honey eyes.. were wide and shining.

Ryuk kept staring.

Raito's soft lips… were taking a break from the thin line he always put them in. Now they're soft, pliant and wet from the small tongue licking it….

He felt a funny feeling in his mouth, in his stomach. The feeling he get when an apple is near. But there were no apples. Just Raito's lips.

Ryuk looked at Raito's lip longingly. Of course he could't eat Raito's lips… maybe he could… kiss him?

Like that would happen. Ryuk banished the thought quickly. Raito… would throw a fit. No.

No.

So Ryuk flew quietly, letting Raito have his moments He leaned in Ryuk and took more deep breaths.

Ryuk felt the hairs on his neck stand when Raito's warm breath hits it. The shinigami became conscious of how.. Interesting their position was. He was like a flying groom, carrying Raito bridal style.

Raito arms were barely putting any pressure on Ryuk's neck at all. Raito was solely relying on the death god to not drop him.

So Raito trusts him.

The thought made Ryuk giddy.

Then- a formation of birds were approaching themThey made a huge racket, alarmed at the huge black bird with his bundled prey.

Raito circled his arms more securely on Ryuk's neck He growled. " stupid birds.."

" it's actually kind of stupid of us, actually, we should have seen them from far away-"

" You mean stupid of you, I was facing the other way-

" And I was facing you." Ryuk gave a small silly smile. "You look amazing in the moonlight, Kira."

Raito raised an eyebrow. " Sure… Thanks."

Ryuk sure was acting weird....

" Lets go home, Ryuk, I'm getting sleepy. " Raito mumbled, yawning. Ryuk felt that apple pie feeling stabbing his gut AGAIN…

" Alright- Down we go…" Ryuk made a U turn in the air and flew gradually lower and lower.

"So, how was it" Ryuk asked conversationally.

" It was… great, Ryuk. Thanks for letting me ride you."

" Sure.. anytime, Kira.." Ryuk said lecherously-

Only then Raito realized what he said-

" Wait- Not- Not that way, You stupid shinigami!"

' Hyuk Hyuk Your face is red as an apple, Raito!"

" Stop laughing you'r gonna-

" Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk"

WHAMP.

They had crashed into a tree.

Raito felt branches breaking under him and-

SLUSH.

He fell in a pile of mud.

After the shock of falling ended he stood up. Mud coated him completely, like a chocolate bar.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Raito wiped the mud off his face, but his sleeves were muddy too. Where the hell did all the mud come from? It didn't even rain! Then he saw that the water tap was left open hear the flower bed he fell in so conviniently.

Raito turned around and Glared at Ryuk as Hard as he Could.

"I'm sor-

" Sorry won't cut it! " Raito whispered shrilly, trying to keep his cool as to not wake up the owner of the house.

Ryuk's trying to fight it, but he couldn't. He started laughing

Hysterically . Raito panicked then remembered only he could hear the shinigami. So he scowled and walked away.

That's when Ryuk recovered from his laughing.

" Hey, come on, I'm sorry." Ryuk just realized he said more sorrys today than he ever had in his life.

" Shut the fuck up."

" Oh come on, let me carry you, you're really far from home."

" Go Away"

Jeez. He said he was sorry. Now even he was losing his patience. He jumped on the tree and flapped his wings high up, Raito looked back, surprised.

He didn't actually think Ryuk would listen to him. Raito walked slower, trying to think how on earth would he get home before his feet left the ground in one smooth Whoosh!

Raito let out a shocked gasp and quickly grab hold of the shinigami.

" Did you actually think I would leave you there? " Ryuk looked at the mini god. The mini god won't look at him.

" Hey, I said I was sorry alright?" Ryuk exasperated, carrying them higher.

" Sorry my ass" Raito grumbled, but let he let it go.

Ryuk felt Kira relaxing in his arms He's trying his best not to laugh but Death himself has never looked cuter, with mud dripping rom his hair and smudging his cheeks.

Ryuk mentally poked his eyes- he has got to stop referring to Kira as cute or he'll drive himself crazy-

"Whoahh... Fuu" Raito whistled, staring at the high rise condo.

The large building looked entirely made out of glass, so in the moonlight, it looked magnificent. At the top of the building was a vast swimming pool, and diving boards of different heights. Whoever owns it is probably a great swimmer. Or just really rich.

Ryuk flew slightly closer to the building, so Raito could ogle at the materialistic wonders.

" Must be a foreign billionaire." Raito guessed.

" Why is that?"

" Well, the depth and the caution sign is in english. I'm just assuming."

" Oh.."

Raito looked longingly at the pool. It was getting hot again, now that they're not up in the skies. The mud was already drying disgustingly on him.

Ryuk looked at Raito and scanned the pool area.

" Funny. No cameras. At all."

Raito looked around, too. There were no cameras. Not even a glint of red light or anything.

" That's strange. But then again, wh needs it in the swimming pool area? Its at the top of the building. Unless you ride a helicopter, there's no way you could get here." Raito observed. "There must be surveillance cameras inside anyway."

" Yup. Two of them. But they aren not facing the pool."

" Told you." Raito smiled. He liked being right.

Ryuk rolled his eyes. " So? Want to go for a swim?"

" WHAT? You got to be kidding-

" Well? What's the point of us having that discussion then?"

So Ryuk's smarter than he looks, Raito had to give the apple lover some credit.

" Are you sure the camera's inside won't see me?"

" Definitely. If you're worried, keep close to the right."

Raito stared at the water. His Kira senses are saying it was a reckless idea…

" Just do it already Raito. You took a lot of risks today. So why not one more measly risk?" Ryuk said.

When did the shinigami learn to sweet talk? Well.. said shinigami did manage to steal another shinigami's death note.

" Ok."

" Do you want me to just drop you in the pool?" Ryuk teased.

" Don't. You. Dare."

Raito's feet hit the ground and he surveilled the place.

It was spotless. He's leaving muddy points when he walks. He saw a little shower at the corner. Maybe he should take one, it won't be fun swimming in mud.

Raito went to the shower in a few long strides, making as little muddy footprints as he can.

I'm sure this dude won't be so mad if I used a little of his soap.. Raito thought, squeezing the pink liquid in his hair- he was then assaulted with the most richest and strongest strawberry smell ever. Wow. Raito rubbed the suds. It smelled heavenly. Like fresh strawberries and grapes..

Raito looked at the label. It was foreign, and it costs 186 pounds!

Wow. He was right. The dude was foreign. And extremely rich.

Raito squeezed some more. He probably would smell like strawberries for weeks, he thought happily.

Raito rinsed his clothes and his blanket. He was debating whether he should keep his boxers on or not. But its still slightly muddy..

Raito crouched behind the huge chair beside the pool. ' Ryuk!"

" Hm?" Ryuk turned around, raising his eyebrow at Raito.

" I'm not wearing anything. Don't look."

Ryuk's eyebrow went higher, yet this time his lips twitched a little.

" I'm serious or no apples ever!"

Ryuk growled but turned around and shut his eyes.

He heard Raito tip toeing to the pool- Raito shivered slightly. He shouldn'nt have taken an ice cold shower- swimming in the cold water didn't really sound fun now- until he saw the pool heater. He saw it on Tv once- couldn't be that hard to operate-

Sure enough, less that two minutes later, the pool was lukewarm and perfect. –splash-

" You can look now." Ryuk turned around, and flew on the diving board, dangling his legs,. He stared at Raito, thinking..

"Ryuk?"

" Yes?"

" How does Rem really look like?" Raito asked, kickng the water softly, getting used to it.

' I don't know. I never saw her without her head off."

" Ryuk?"

" Hmm?"

" Have you ever seen any shinigami with their heads off?"

"….No. Never, Shinigami's like to keep their faces secret from others. It's the only secret we have. Our faces."

Raito splashed the water around him a bit while staring at Ryuk. Ryuk looked… really young. Not really young, but young enough to still be in college. Ryuk was dangling his feet like a kid, and was spacing out, staring at the glass panelling. He looked like a gothic white boy in his twenties.

Raito shook his head and ducked it under water. He has got to stop associating Ryuk with a real human being, Ryuk is a shinigami. Even if he was human, he isn't one now.

Ryuk was spacing out at the glass because Raito was reflected in it.

So this is what mermaids must of looked like, Ryuk decided.

Death was making lazy circles in the water.

Tanned, beautiful, and naked… Ryuk doesn't feel that apple piet feeling in his gut. He felt a different one. Lust. He hasn't felt that in more than a hundred years..

If he wasn't careful, he'll develop a crush on the boy, who won't even give two cents about him.

Too late thought. He's crushing, Hard.

" Ryuk…"

Ryuk stared into the Raito in the glass. He felt a flush at his pale neck, at being caught staring at the little Death.

" Yes, Raito?" Was Ryuk imagining it, or did Raito just blush?

" Stop staring. It's annoying. Go do something else."

Must be his imagination then.

Raito gave him a dirty look and resumed making lazy circles.

Ryuk raised an eyebrow. Well that was a real turn off. Raito's too prude sometimes. Heck, all the time.

" What do you suppose I do?"

" Check and see if my clothes are wet."

Ryuk flew in a huff, before realizing, of course the clothes would still be soaking wet. He heard Death chuckle in the pool.

Ryuk felt irritation stab his gut as well.

"So its like that, huh?" Ryuk grumbled. Then he grinned. He grabbed the clothes and used all his strength to throw it really far away.

From his shinigami vision he could see the clothes land somewhere near the garbage bins many blocks away.

He threw the blanket at a tree a little further way, so that he could retrieve it for Raito after carrying him naked part way. Oh that would definately force the boy to be less prude alright. The shinigami grinned evilly.

Ryuk heard Raito gasped loudly so he flew back to the pool.

A young man, almost as pale as he is, in black swimming trunks was staring straight at Raito, who was trapped in the pool.

Oh Crap.

Oh man that is seriously long. I'm going to cut it into two, sweethearts! Oh L, you can't bite me, You are in the same chapter- just part two!

L: (Sigh) fine.

Check out part two! ( pushes the reader to the next page)
