Allrighty then. This is the 15th chapter. Let's just say that this is the longest I've ever gone in writing a story. I only write about two or three chapters then that's it. I leave it for ages.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter. I do not own Death Note or it's characters.

"...You mean, the Shinigami Realm is a real thing?" L asked. He didn't sound like he believed me.

"Yes. And I'm sticking to this theory for now. At the moment, we're running out of options, we won't be able to capture this killer if we don't consider every opportunity." I said, tapping on the keyboard.

"Light has a Shinigami with him too, right?"

I nodded. "His name is Ryuk, why?"

"We could ask him."

I smiled. "Of course. Why didn't I think of that."

We stood up and walked to Light's room. I knocked on the door three times and waited.

"Come in." Misa sang.

I opened the door and saw Misa sitting in front of a dresser, brushing her hair.

"Oh, hey, Grace and Ryuzaki. What's up?" she asked. Light was no where to be found.

"Misa, where's Light?" I asked.

"He's in the shower." she replied, humming to herself as she brushed her blonde hair.

"That's all right. I actually need to speak to Ryuk."

Misa turned to me and blinked. "Okay, I'm guessing you've touched the Death Note, so you can see him?"

I nodded, and turned to the sofa of the far end of the room and looked at Ryuk who was laying casually on the sofa, eating a red apple.

"What's up?" he asked, devouring the apple in a matter of seconds.

"We need to ask you a few questions, Ryuk."

Ryuk sat up and said. "I might not be able to answer all of your questions. Mainly because I don't know or I'm not aloud to."

"That's all right. I'm sure what I'm going to ask will be against the rules."

I sat on a chair in front of him, L sitting on the armchair next to mine.

"So, Ryuk. The Shinigami realm is real in the other universe, correct?"

"Yeah. It is."

"So, does that mean it's fictional here?" I asked, pointing at the ground.

I heard Misa move towards me.

Ryuk was quiet. "...Well, now that you've picked up on it. I suppose I can say. The Shinigami realm is every where, looking down on all universe's, including this one."

"I see, so you can jump from universe to universe if you wanted to?"

"No. The only time Shinigami are ever permitted to enter another universe, we have to have dropped our notebook there and then go there to retrieve it. But, otherwise, no. We have to stay in the Shinigami realm."

"No, that's not what I meant. You can go to the Death Note universe if you wanted, right now, correct?"

Ryuk sighed. "I guess I can't hide it any more."

I looked at him questionably.

"There are many different realms, or universes as you might call them. For example, there is this universe that we're in now, and the 'Death Note' universe. Think of them as parallel universes. You can watch the TV show Death Note in this universe. There are other universes too." Ryuk looked around the room and saw a came case on the other side of the room. It was the 'Naruto' game, Light and I were playing yesterday.

"Naruto is also a different universe too. You can watch that in this universe. But, in the Death Note universe and the Naruto universe, you can't watch you on a TV screen. You can think of this as the Main Universe. We, Shinigami, watch over all these universes, and kill who ever we please. So, if your favourite character dies on a TV show, there's a possibility that a Shinigami has killed that human."

I was speechless.

"Humans often get into other universes from time to time. But, whenever humans get into the Main Universe, A.K.A, this universe, everyone's memory gets erased."

"I see. It seems complicated." I muttered.

"You'll understand it soon. It's a lot to take in at one time, I suppose." he said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Wait, that doesn't explain how my memory wasn't wiped!"

Ryuk shrugged again. "I guess you're special."

I shook my head. "So, basically, a Shinigami accidentally dropped it's Death Note in this universe, or the Main universe or whatever, and that Death Note has gotten into the hands of the killer we've been chasing."

"That's seems to be the situation."

"So, when someone passes onto another universe, how do they get back?"

Ryuk laughed. "What? Getting sick of us already?" he laughed again. Once he had calmed down he said. "Give it some time. We'll eventually get back to our universe."

"How long until that happens?"

"Well, it's been a month since we've all arrived, I'd give it two or three months at the least."

"Thank you, Ryuk." I said, standing up. L stood up too. He looked terrified.

"By the way, I wouldn't get attached to any one here. No-one from the Main Universe can travel to another universe, it's physically impossible." he said, chuckling even more.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

I wrote it fairly quickly to be honest. I'll post anotehr chapter up in a few minutes
