Chapter 19: Time is Cruel.

The afternoon rolled along; behind peoples heels as some got out of work; onward to they're next daily task. Rat was in no mood to hear anything against his plans. He was tired and edgy. He could feel the eyes of many glaring at him. It was only in his imagination thought. Because Rat felt everyone was after him, so there for; in his eyes he could trust no one. As years had past he had collected note books of death from people who could not handle the powers they held. He was unfortunate to have such luck. Was God finally in his favor? He did not know. But he was willing to get attention. He was forcing others to write names of the criminals in custody. Not laying a hand on anyone else. He did not kill those pursuing him as the other Kira did; because that is what he wanted to do. To kill those found guilty, and not lay a hand on any other. That way L can see the new different pattern, and follow like a rabbit to a bate. He wanted to keep that pattern going; while moving around discretely as to not be captured, and forced to kill the ones pursuing the new Kira. That's why Mello and Terr where there; to assist him. "Those ass-wholes think I'm so stupid. That I don't realize what they are planning... but wait till I catch them off guard. The looks on they're faces will be truly enjoyable." Rat said to himself while looking at several people in his captivity writing names down for him.

Terr was in deep thought in his hotel room.
Not at all noticing the Shinigami before him eating away at the plate full of apples.

"Boy Terr! I like you! You spoil me with everything I like! Video games, Porn Magazines, and my favorite! Apples! Among other things." Ryuk said, as he gobbled the rest of the apples in front of him.

"Anything for a partner Ryuk..." Responded Terr.

Mello entered the room unannounced. Taking a seat in the couch nearest to Terr. Taking a bite of his beloved chocolate, he dared to speak up; not caring at all by the silence surrounding them.

"Well Terr. Your slowly reaching your goal. You know I'm only doing this as a favor to you for what you did for me; right?" Mello asked, surely knowing the answer to follow.

"Yes. I'm well aware Mello. Once this is all done I won't need your help anymore... I just want my revenge. Nothing more. You understand right?" Terr questioned back.

Mello nodded, taking another bite of his chocolate.

The air was wearing thin around them. Regardless they had no fear of what was to come. They both have seen death in the face; and we're use to it by now. Nothing was going to stop them. The drink Terr had abandoned a few minutes ago began to melt the ice away in it. Terr realizing this knew that time never waited or stopped for anyone, and neither would he do so. He would go forward with his vengeful goals. No bullets, no fire, and no hands would stop him in a million years.

Well, I hope that was sort of okay. Some clarification. ^^; Will double post soon.
