#and Ryuk’s voice is just spot on

[mingiswow]

Chapter 01

CW: hate speech; hate comments; mentions of sexual assault; mentions of homelessness; mentions of drugs; mentions of eating disorders and diet culture, commentary on the industry, YN is introduced as mixed-race, half being Korean, and the other part is never mentioned.

YN's POV

“Soloist yn yln was recently seen at a restaurant in Hongdae with k-hiphop rising star Lee Ryuk” “The love is in the air: yn yln was spotted in Hongdae with Lee Ryuk” “More than just a song, yn yln and Lee Ryuk were seen together in Hongdae this weekend” 1. [+568, -0] Wow I can’t believe they are together. She's so much better alone. He’s just not worthy of her. 2. [+499, -5] yn and Ryuk are great singing together but I don’t want them to be dating.  3. [+486, -0] I just can’t accept that she did that to us! Ryuk is not good for her! 4. [+320, -67] You are all complaining about Ryuk but he’s the best thing yn could get. She’s just famous because she’s the niece of a Chaebol.  5. [+309, -0] Ryuk is not a good man. He smokes and drinks like an old man, yn deserves someone much better and that will treat her right. I bet it is fake. 6. [+225, -6] yn is a grown woman and she can do what she wants but that doesn’t mean I agree with her choices, she deserves so much more than a man-child like him. He mocked a lot of people before and was not held accountable. I don’t believe yn would date him. 7. [+175, -0] I won’t be a yn fan anymore if she confirms to be dating Lee Ryuk. I don’t want to be connected to these types of people.

My manager sighed by my side, her nails insistently tapping on her phone screen, probably dealing with my problems.

“Can you stop reading those stupid comments?” she spoke, her eyes still glued to her phone. The woman didn't even have to turn to you to know what you were doing. 

“I’m being massacred by a relationship that is already over” I turned my head to the window, watching as the quiet morning started to slowly awake. The buzzing started to slowly increase as people started to leave their houses for work. Seoul waking up.

Then there was silence, a quiet agreement between us both that I needed my space and peace before having to deal with the storm of fans outside the music show studio.

My mind was racing with thoughts. I felt guilty, ashamed, embarrassed. All my company’s staff worked hard for me to be where I was in my career; all for me to ruin it because of a shitty fuckboy, because I was dumb enough to fall for his words and charm. 

My management company was nicer than most of the ones in the business, allowing me to be - somewhat - free since I was their biggest name. My albums, shows and merch being their biggest source of income. 

I met Ryuk when we collaborated on one of his songs. He was the rapper, and I was the soothing voice on the chorus and bridge. He was a very talented man, one or two years younger than me, and having debuted a few months more than a year ago. He was nothing but nice, sweet and kind to me, saying romantic and flirty stuff all the time, treating me like a princess. So, me, being the hopeless romantic that I am, fell for him, blinded by all his red flags. 

Ryuk liked to play it cool to the public eye, saying stuff just for the clout, and acting like someone he did not seem to be. Not that I didn’t do that, it was part of our job after all, playing an act for the people who watched us. But his problem was that he was getting more and more problematic with his words. And the worst part was that his company was encouraging him.

Then he started to act like that with me after a few months of dating, showing his true self, ditching our dates - that it took us weeks of preparing since our schedules were always so full - to go out for smoking and drinking with his friends, coming back to my apartment completely drunk and high, asking for things I wasn’t comfortable to give him yet. Not that I was a virgin, it was that I wasn’t comfortable enough with him to do it.

The final drop was when one night he appeared in my apartment out of his mind trying to force me to sleep with him and when I refused he started yelling, spitting at me that I was a prude, then I was a whore, the throwing a bunch of gifts I had just received from my fans on the ground and walls, breaking and destroying them.

Last night we finally met at the same restaurant where he asked me to be his official girlfriend almost a year ago. I forgot to make a reservation so our table was a little visible from the windows, but I didn’t care, I just wanted to end all of this. So I did. I broke up with him and I was really glad I did in a public setting, otherwise, he would probably throw a tantrum. He just resumed his madness sending me a fudging paragraph of a text message, and proceeding to wait for my reaction. The text was far from nice, saying all the worst things and calling me all the worst names someone I thought once loved me could say. But I guess it’s better being written than screamed at my face in front of a bunch of unknown people.

I was so out of my mind, and, not gonna lie, relieved, that I failed to notice the crowd of fansites and paparazzi waiting for us outside the restaurant when we left. I just wanted to leave that place, to go back to my apartment and cry like a little kid in the arms of my manager. No. To cry like a grown woman who had her heart and trust broken.

“The director said we can have a meeting after the recording, is that okay?” I hummed confirming, still not looking at the woman by my side. “YN, sweetie, I know it’s a hard thing for you but soon a new scandal will appear and everyone will forget it” her soft hand caressed the top of my head and down my arms, squeezing my hand warmly.

“I know. I just feel so… disappointed in myself” I turned my attention finally back to her and met her motherly expression looking at me. “All the signs were there and I still chose to ignore it. I’m sorry”.

“Don’t be” Jiah shook her head, her smile never disappearing. “If the director says anything to you, I’m here to defend you, ‘kay? You’re my little girl and I’ll fight for you with my life” I chuckled and nodded, laying my head on her shoulder and letting a few teardrops fall.

Being a soloist was hard, especially after leaving my previous small company when the failed group I debuted in disbanded for an even smaller one. And even more, being a mixed-race idol. But I didn’t give up. I couldn’t give up. Not after so much work put on it. It was my biggest dream, even if that meant I’d have to go under extreme diets, plastic surgery, and training sessions that would last longer than my body could stand.

But I was lucky enough to be found and signed by my current company, they were far from my previous one. And the other ones around. They didn’t pressure me both physically and mentally, they wanted me to be true to myself and my art, wanted me to make good music, with soul, purpose. In the beginning, I didn’t debut per se, I was launched as a regular Korean singer,  outside the k-pop industry. The company, and myself included, didn’t mind if I stayed in the indie valley of Korean music, being known only inside the country, but after my first EP and music video as a solo artist was released, I regained a lot of my fans back, as well as new ones that truly enjoyed my music. I was praised by netizens and music websites articles for my raw and emotional music, which I always proudly said I was the one writing and even helping produce. 

After a few more releases, I was finally invited to participate in my first music show stage.  The rest was just a huge domino effect. Music shows, comebacks, officially being part of the K-Pop Industry™, participating in variety shows, and even having my own vlog series on my YouTube channel.

Me, my company, and all the staff were really happy with my success because they didn’t know if I was going to make it further than a few music shows appearances due to the way I was free to be the most of myself. Truth be told, the industry is merciless, those who don’t look the same, act the same, and even sound the same are ostracized, judged, bullied. I saw some of the prettiest people in the country being bullied online for such stupid things, things that did not make sense anywhere else but this industry. But I made it, I was the point outside the curve, the spark of hope for a change in the business, a role model for girls and boys who looked just like me.

The buzz of the city started to fade in the background as the loud screams of fans outside the studio started to increase closer and closer I got from it. I felt my hands clammy with anxiety, the rate of my heart increased absurdly fast and my breath become quick, short and shallow.

JIah was the first to leave the car, the square sunglasses framing her face perfectly as she walked with her perfect posture, making her look even more professional, and dare me say, scary. She was respected and loved among my fans, everyone knew how hard she worked for me and I always made sure to thank her every time I had the opportunity.

I took a few deep breaths before leaving the black car, shaking my head trying to make the bad thoughts go away and just focus on my fans and performance. As soon I left the car, I was flooded with even louder screams and flashing lights everywhere I looked. If there I was something I would never get used was the camera flashes going off all at the same time. They blinded me and made my head hurt, it even became a joke among my fans that from ten pictures taken of me, nine I would have my face scrunched or my eyes closed.

I bowed and waved to my fans, loads of them holding signs and gifts. I looked over at my manager who bowed her head and I went to talk to the people gathered in the cold air to get a chance to see me. Even after all these years, I still don’t get used to the fact that these people came to see me, to support me and my art. I smiled happily as I signed their albums, pictures, and notebooks, took some selfies with them, recorded special videos for their friends who couldn’t be there. 

I was really glad none of them brought the Ryuk issue up, only asking questions about my music, my comeback, if I had eaten or drunk coffee already, or even saying loving words about my work.

I made a few more poses for the ridiculous amount of cameras before bowing and sending flying kisses to the people and entered the studio, the warmth of the place’s heating system embracing me like a plush comforter was wrapped around my shoulders.

My lungs took the deepest breath I could, the anxiety slowly fading and taking place by another type of anxiety, this one more manageable and already known to my body.

“YN~ssi, please follow me” a girl a few years older than me, and a face of a few friends, called for me and my team. I followed her suit as I bowed and smiled at the other staff and a few other idols I met on the way, making sure everyone was treated equally. “Your performance is in a bit more than an hour, I’ll be calling you fifteen minutes before you go up on stage, make sure to be ready on time” I nodded and she left the room.

“She could at least pretend” Jiah spoke as the door closed in front of us, going straight to the table of goods. I always wondered if the other groups had the same table as me, and if they had, if they were allowed to eat. “Ugh! I love mubank so much, they have the best coffee” the woman grabbed two of the paper cups, giving one of them to me, which I gladly accepted.

After a few sips of coffee, my team finally started to work their magic on me as one of them recorded me for my vlog. 

My concept for this comeback was easily on the list of my favorite ones, it was very colorful, almost decora-like, inspired by the aesthetic of the early 2000’s. My hair was painted in a beautiful pastel shade of pink with half of my bangs and a single thick strand of hair in the front dyed blue. My hairstylist put it up in two high pigtails braided with extensions to make them look fuller and longer. I loved this look so much, It made me feel like a teenager again, being a little rebellious and experimental with my fashion and hair.

When I first debuted I was only sixteen, practically a child, with a mind even younger and immature due to years of training and lack of social interactions outside the company and the girls who would later debut with me. I wasn’t fully aware of the implications of our concept back then, I was just happy that I managed to debut. Being the maknae, I was constantly babied by the girls, the company, and our fans. But some of the fans - especially older men - were very… creepy, to say the least, with me. Both in person and online. I remember being scared of going to fan signs and fan meetings. And reading the things they’d say about me and my body online always made me sick, I hated it. But the company used me and my popularity among those men to the group’s advantage. As the comebacks passed, my clothes started to get smaller and smaller, to the point where my safety shorts were appearing. The choreographies became more explicit and sexual, and I felt like my parts, the ones where I was the the center, were even nastier. 

But, to my company's dismay, that didn’t stop your group from flopping. Two of the girls left due to unfair treatment and payment. They tried to replace them by putting three new members but only a few months after that one of the new girls got involved in a drug and cheating scandal and was kicked out of the group. The company started to treat us badly, not promoting us properly, and abusing us both mentally and physically, until the only two other original members besides me placed a lawsuit against our manager, an old disgusting man, who assaulted us. I didn’t have the money to pay a lawyer to sue them, but I got happy like I did when they won the case. The group was then disbanded and the company shut down.

After that, I felt lost, terrible, useless. I lost all my sense of self. That group was everything I had, everything I was. Without them, who was I? What I was going to do from then on?

For months, I used the little money left to stay at cheap hotels and look for places to work as I also looked for open auditions for other companies. I got severe allergies and rashes from bed bugs and other microscopic beings living in those old beds. I tried to reach what was left of my family but nobody answered, not that I expected them to, but it never hurts to try. 

After all my money was gone, I spent a few weeks going from house to house of my former members, who I still kept and keep contact with, but they also had their issues and I didn’t want to bother them any further. 

Then an angel appeared in my life. Jiah. She met me at my most vulnerable moment. I was sick, anemic, starving. I was living on the streets when she found me and recognized me. Jiah then took me to her house and gave me a warm shower, warmer food, and even warmer clothes. At the time she had a boring office job and was struggling with her at-the-time fiancé. She asked for a sign, something that showed her she needed to change, to leave everything behind and start all over. She considered me her sign. So, after that, she left her fiancé, and figured out she was lesbian, and all that pent-up anger inside her was her internalized homophobia crushing her. She left her job and started to work freelance for some of her previous clients. The real change came when I asked her to become my manager after I signed my new contract. 

Since then, she’s been by my side, being the manager I always needed and the mother I always wanted. 

“Fifteen” I heard the staff’s voice from before sound from the door, awakening me from my trip to memory lane. I was so lost, so disassociated from reality that I even realized I had my hair and makeup done, as well as dressed up.

“How long was I out for?” I asked Jiah, her eyes never leaving her tablet, already used to my moments of introspection. 

“Almost an entire hour” she answered and turned to look at me. “Try not to disassociate when doing other stuff, doll” she winked and nudged my side with a smirk, my cheeks heating at her comment. “Let’s go before I have to deal with that girl again”. 

We both left the dressing room and were met with another group in front of your door coming back from their performance. Their hairs were sweaty, falling to their faces and some of them had even taken part of their outfit off. I saw a camera behind them before bowing politely since they were my sunbaes, well, at least from my solo debut perspective. I excused myself before leaving for my performance but not without noticing a few murmurs and noises from the boys getting behind.

“I think you have famous fans” I jokingly slapped Jiah, giggling as I felt my cheeks heat a little.

[grimalkinmessor]

Do you have any trans fem light headcanons?

I always have Light headcanons 👁️👁️

Usually I hc Light as bigender (she/her used generally as Kira-specific given that I think that's the only other spot in his life that he could acknowledge as a change in who he was SUPPOSED to be rather than who she really IS), because I do think Light actually does feel mentally aligned to his masculinity in a solid capacity, just not completely so, but! I can totally cook up something for trans fem Light :3

I actually have thought about this before—it's somewhere in my long ass wip ideas list—but the snag I always hit is Light even,,,,figuring out that she's trans :/ Because canon Light tends to just ignore when he feels bad in any sort of emotional or mental capacity, so dysphoria would probably ping "his" radar as something to go "Welp, time to ignore that! ᕕ(; ᐛ )ᕗ" about. So I see Light discovering it either young enough that she doesn't know that she should be denying it yet, or old enough that she could move towns and change her name with little fuss—never speaking to her family again, of course, but that's the price of being trans in early 2000s Japan with traditionalist parents :') Sayu might eventually go looking for her though. Sayu strikes me as someone open-minded.

BUT, these two options have different catalysts. If Light discovers it young enough for Sachiko to see it as "okay" to socially transition, then Sayu is the catalyst. Sayu has lots of pretty, traditionally feminine things, and she wants to play with her brother—which, of course, Light indulges. Sayu bullies Light into dressing up to play with her, she does makeovers with him, he does her hair and make-up and she does his (and while I usually hc Soichiro finding out and gently but firmly putting a stop to that, for this AU let's say he doesn't find out). Light, after enough times doing this with Sayu, probably notices the fact that he actually prefers Sayu's things to his own. He probably permanently borrows a hair pin or two, maybe even buys a few of his own when he runs errands for his mom. And Sachiko inevitably finds out about it, but again. Sachiko is just as much of a snake as Light in that she's cunning and able to switch faces quickly. So she probably has a long talk with Light about why he bought them and what's going on, and he confesses (after much manipulative prodding) that he doesn't "feel right", that he hasn't for a while, and he thinks it might be because he's a boy.

So Sachiko does what any good mom would do; she fixes it. Light would be young here, seven to ten I'm thinking, enough that it wouldn't be hard for Sachiko to buy Light some new clothes and start introducing her as a daughter. When Soichiro comes home, she sits him down after the kids are asleep and tells him what's going to happen. She does not ask for permission or his thoughts on it. She goes "Light is our daughter now and you'll treat her as such. We're moving cities in two weeks so she can have a new start in a new school. If anyone ever asks we've always had two daughters." Soichiro is bewildered of course, and instinctively affronted at the idea, but Sachiko steamrolls him. Queen Gaslighter, your honor, and her new Princess Gaslighter who learned from the best. They do as Sachiko bids, and Light is able to live her life unimpeded.

HOWEVER. If Light figures it out as an adult, then RYUK is the catalyst. Human Ryuk, of course, as I don't see grown-up Light with the Death Note having time to realize anything like that when he's busy manipulating the Task Force and his own father and the SPK and Misa and Mikami and—you get it. Anyway, Ryuk is the one who makes Light realize that she's a she instead of a he. And, being the terrible influence/cynical voice of (sarcasm) reason he is, Ryuk is the one who encourages Light to go whole hog with vanishing off the face of the Earth and changing her name instead of transitioning in secret or telling her family. But again, by this time it's too late for Light to socially transition and keep her family; everyone knows Chief Yagami and his brilliant son, their extended family knows Sachiko had a boy and a girl. They wouldn't be able to take Light in as a daughter, only disown her as a son. And Light knows this, Ryuk knows this, but Ryuk is the one that knocks Light out of her self-sacrificing "I shall simply swallow it down and deal with the lot I've been handed, continue living my life as a man even though it grows ever-chafing and suffocating :)" and into "Fuck that. I'll be doing whatever I fucking want, actually, because I'm better than literally every other conceivable human being and I should be able to revel in my own splendor as the person I want to see in the mirror." Encouraging Light's ego is double-edged sword here, obviously, but try getting Ryuk to give a fuck ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Light abandons her life as a Yagami and Ryuk helps her forge some papers so she can get a job in Fukushima as an accountant/architect/designer/whatever the hell she wants to do as Asahi Tsuki. (This is one of the few scenarios I ever picture Light changing her name in. Only ever out of necessity. Her name was never the problem, and she likes it—she keeps it if she can).

I don't see Light's personality changing all that much? Save for the fact that transitioning probably yanks down the veil of her politeness a little and she acts a little bit more herself. I.e. mean and sarcastic but in a way you only realize three hours after the fact. Light's learned to go after what she wants viciously in this case, and is probably a little more indulgent of herself as well. Unlike canon Light, trans fem Light has learned to ask herself "What do I want?". She probably lets herself have things that she didn't before, like sweets and beautiful clothes and shiny trinkets and expensive stationary—things she actually likes instead of things she's expected to have. After all, if Light's going to be "selfish" why not go all in? ;3

[froggos-are-superior]

Best lines of every death note song and why:

Where is the Justice?

[Light]

What good is law that can’t

Punish those who break it?!

I love this line mainly because of the pure emotion in his voice when he sings it. He sounds so exasperated and tired. Justice was clearly a sore spot for him long before he picked up the Death Note.

They’re Only Human

[Ryuk, Rem]

They don’t see

Who they are is who they’ll always be

This line is great because of how the lyrics are the same but Ryuk and Rem each give them completely different meanings. Ryuk says it as a jest, a mockery of sorts. Rem says it with fascination and maybe a bit of pity. They can share the same beliefs and still view humanity differently.

Change the World

[Light]

But what would happen if it's true?

Imagine all that I could do

Light just picked up the Note and he was already yearning to be the one that made change himself. It makes you wonder how his career in law enforcement would have gone without the Death Note's interference.

Hurricane

[Light]

I am the God of a brave new world

Much better than the last!

well that escalated quickly.

Kira!

[Ryuk]

You think you’re making changes

But the only thing you can change is your name

This is such an underrated line because it's true. No matter how much someone prods at the system, it never seems to do much. I guess it's more like Light stabs the system as opposed to prodding it, but with the same effect. Humanity doesn't change easily.

I'm Ready

[Misa]

And the world may be cold

And the world may be cruel

But this world is all that I've got

I forget sometimes that Misa isn't just a Light Yagami fangirl. She actually truly believes in the systems that Light is trying to implement. She wants to change the world for the better just as much as he does.

We All Need a Hero

[Sayu]

When I get afraid, and all hope is gone

I reach for your hand and I belong

Cause someone like you, who's scared but won't run

Is standing his ground for everyone

These lines are painful for a couple reasons. The most obvious being that she's saying that Kira should be more like her brother, who is actually Kira. The hope and admiration on her face are enough to induce tears. The other reason being that those lyrics actually pertain to Kira for many, not just Light. So many different possible perspectives.

The Game Begins

[L]

The chase is on, the die is cast

I sift a thousand pixels

Until I chase you down at last...

The game begins!

I think this just reinforces the fact that L sees his competition with Kira as an interesting game to play. He sounds entertained.

There are Lines

[Soichiro]

You don't load a gun

[Light]

You don't

[Soichiro, Light]

Close your eyes and shoot!

This is interesting because Light skips that first line entirely and only butts in for the last portion. It's symbolic of the fact that Light disagrees with Soichiro for the first part. His father says don't kill anyone period and Light says don't shoot blindly. kill with purpose.

Secrets and Lies

[L, Light]

The line is quickly blurring between what's right and what is not

I don't care who gets hurt now

As long as I get one more shot!

This is my favorite line in the entire musical. It captures their dynamic perfectly. Neither of them care about anyone but each other and winning their game at this point.

Mortals and Fools

[Rem]

Try as I will, I just don't understand it

Love is for mortals and fools

tHeSe wOrDs wiLL nOt cOme bAcK tO hAuNt mE lAtEr tHiS wEeK

Stalemate

[L]

Just like two actors on a stage

Go through the motions that we both rehearse

Our little new atomic age

Eyeball to eyeball

We'll see who blinks first!

A staring contest is an excellent metaphor for their game of cat and mouse. It's a contest where the slightest upset of any kind can affect the outcome and victor, and it requires you to be completely concentrated on your opponent.

I'll Only Love You More

[Misa]

My restless life is worth so much more

Because of you worth living for

If I find you maybe love me too

I'll only love you more

These lyrics tend to remind me just how much of Misa's will to live is comprised of Light. It certainly explains her actions after his death. She deserved better.

The Way Things Are

[L]

Always only believed what was

Right in front of me

What I could see

Shinigami are real because

It's the only way

The only way

I have no fancy explanation for this one, it just reminds me of the scene where he hears the word shinigami and falls over screaming. Never ceases to make me cackle.

Mortals and Fools (Reprise)

[Rem]

Love makes you break all the--

[Ryuk] (spoken)

Rem

Don't break the rules

The reprise was hauntingly beautiful in which Rem takes up Misa's old lines and sings them, as she finally understands what Misa meant. I also appreciate the little bit of care for Rem that Ryuk shows here. A warning of sorts.

Honor Bound

[Soichiro]

Timelines and coincidences can't replace hard facts

But if what I'm seeing, bends as light refracts

Am I blinded to what my son lacks?

Can we appreciate the Light puns please.

Playing His Game

[L, Light]

I’ll catch him when

I look through his eyes

See what he sees

And then improvise

Until I can learn what puts him at ease

I’ll walk in his shoes

As long as it takes

There is absolutely no heterosexual explanation for this level of obsession.

Borrowed Time

[Misa]

I'm cheating death with every breath

And every song and every sigh

With every day that I don't die

Is borrowed time!

These lines are just so beautiful to me. She sings about how death does not matter to her because she's only alive now on account of Gelus's sacrifice. The vigor she sings with here is also so wonderful.

When Love Comes

[Rem]

When love comes, it takes you by surprise

You see things through someone else's eyes

Rem finally understands love. Also that last line reminds me of a certain line in Playing His Game 🤨

The Way It Ends

[L]

I've seen through you right from the start!

[Light]

I've simply let you play your part!

[L]

You'll never ever get away!

[Light]

Don't you see that you will die today?

I love how even at the end, they're both trying to prove themselves to one another. They're trying to show that they won, that they're the better man/person/detective. That last line of Light's kinda shut L up tho 💀

______________Chapter 1: First, There Was Nothing______________

Ryuk was perched on a rocky outcrop, his crimson eyes fixed on the somber expanse of the Shinigami realm. With a casual gesture, he reached into his satchel and retrieved a handful of decaying apples. "Looks like it's time," he muttered to himself. Nearby, another Shinigami glanced up, its form resembling a grotesque slug. "Leaving already?" it remarked, its voice dripping with apathy. Ryuk shrugged, tossing an apple core aside. "Time's a relative concept here. And besides, I made a promise to myself—I'd head to the human world once I ran out of apples." The slug-like Shinigami offered a dismissive grunt in response. Ryuk stretched his wings lazily, a sense of anticipation rising within him. "About time for a change of scenery," he remarked, a mischievous grin on his face. With a flap of his wings, he propelled himself toward a winding staircase leading to a blinding expanse of white. "Well here we go, heh" He murmured.

                             _______DEATH NOTE: REVELATIONS_______

Near sat on the floor of the dimly lit room, his snow-white hair twirling between his fingers as he stared intently at the wide screen displaying various data points. "We're closing in on this case now, yet I don't feel accomplished," he murmured to himself, a faint echo of the late L's sentiments reverberating in his mind. Suddenly, the tranquility was interrupted by the abrupt entrance of a man with blonde hair, his urgency palpable. "Near, the suspect has run away. What are we going to do?" he blurted out. Near's lips curved into a slight smile, a glimmer of confidence in his eyes. "Well, perhaps let him run. We have a tracker on him, so he can't get very far," he replied calmly, his voice carrying an air of calculated assurance. The blonde-haired man nodded briskly before hurrying out of the room. It's all pointless. These cases... Are boring. I can never fail, I always win—no tic for tac. Just me strictly always winning. Perhaps this is what L felt; before he encountered Kira that is. This case... It will be my last.  

______________________________________________________

 In a dimly lit alleyway in Los Angeles, the atmosphere was fraught with tension as a skinny man with long black hair darted through the shadows, clutching a black notebook tightly in his grasp. "There has to be someone around here; it's LA," he muttered under his breath, his red eyes scanning the vicinity frantically for a potential victim. Spotting a tall high school student walking alone on the sidewalk, his resolve hardened. "Ryuk, can you give that guy the Death Note? I want to relinquish my ownership of it. Please," he pleaded with the Shinigami hovering nearby. Ryuk chuckled darkly, his eerie grin widening. "Heh, I'll see what I can do. So, you wanna let go of the Death Note, huh?" he replied nonchalantly. With a nod, the man consented, his crimson eyes fading into a dull brown as a wave of confusion washed over him. "Huh? What am I doing here?" he muttered, disoriented by the sudden shift in his consciousness.

Well, he was boring. Ryuk thought bitterly as he observed the unsuspecting high school student. "Maybe this kid will be better. Heh, he carries himself just like Light." The teenager, standing at a stoplight, was taken aback as a book suddenly fell before him, landing squarely on his face. "What the hell?" he exclaimed, reaching down to pick up the mysterious tome. "A Death Note? There's no way this thing's real, right?" he scoffed incredulously, but an inexplicable urge compelled him to slip it into his bag nonetheless. Well, I might as well keep it so no one else gets fooled, he reasoned with a shrug. He finally made it home but noticed something. Dad's car. It isn't here. Must mean their working him extra tonight. Guess no bonding time even though he promised.  He grabbed his keys and opened the front door, exposing nothing but pure darkness. He walked in when he knocked something over "Damn" He sighed under his breath. He turned on the Lights of the Living room and saw the room was a mess. Multiple beers on the floor, and cigar packs lying about. What a great dad. Multiple awards were on the living room's walls, most of them being for the teen. "Top Student: Freshman Year Sergio Hernandez; Top Student: Sophomore Year Segio Hernanzed; Top Student: Junior Year Sergio Hernandez" Sergio smirked as he recognized his greatness. Have all these great grades, and still called a screw-up. Oh damn, I almost completely forgot about the Notebook or whatever. Sergio headed up to his room and slowly closed his door. The room was dim and gloomy, the only light was a small lamp illuminating a small portion of the bed. 

Sergio laid down and opened up his bag to reveal the Death Note. Hm, what a morbid name. Death Note. Sergio opened up the Notebook, and a sense of agony and cold ran through his veins. On the side of the cover, there were several rules. Okay, first rule: The human whose name is written in this note shall die. Okay, that's pretty self-explanatory. Another rule is: This note will not take effect unless the writer has his/her victim's face in their mind while writing their name, therefore people sharing the same name aren't affected. Wow, that is extremely detailed for a prank book. How did they even get these rules in the first place? Must've just made them up. Another crazy rule: After writing the name, you have 40 seconds to write the cause of death, if no cause is written within the 40 seconds, the victim will simply die of a heart attack. That would make you virtually untraceable, and that does explain how Kira killed people. Sergio sighed and closed the Notebook, got up, and threw it in the trash. What a stupid prank. Ever since 2020, when the Notebook was bought by the U.S., people made multiple of these 'Death Notes'. At the time of it being sold, the seller claimed it to be the power of Kira, and everyone in Japan that owned a bank account for some bank of a bunch of money. But I wonder... 

Sergio got up and turned on his phone, opening up Instagram. There's a Kira page on her; Kira Focus; and they post criminals' names and faces and what they did as well as where they're from. Multiple accounts like this are run by cults of Kira in hopes that Kira will Judge them. It never happens, so I suppose that's why the accounts are left up. Freedom of speech I suppose.  He scratched his chin as he looked at the trash can where the Death Note lay. Well, I might as well try it. Won't hurt anyone. He walked towards the trash can grabbed the Notebook, and looked at the Kira page that was on his phone. If I were to kill someone, does that make me a murderer like Kira was? Of course it does, what am I thinking? Murder is murder. It's never okay to kill someone. Even if it's justified... Sergio looked at the Death Note. Well, maybe it is. Sergio opened up the Notebook, grabbed a pen from out of his pocket, and looked on the page for a criminal. Wow, there's so many. This world is rotten. Rapists, murderers, wanted fugitives, pedos. But one criminal caught Sergio's eye, a woman. Okay, here we go. Brooklynn Meyer, from Ontario Canada. She's five-two and 110 pounds with brown hair and is native American. Heh, Brooklynn isn't much of a Native name. She's wanted for the murder of her two sons and husband. She was tried in court, but let go even with video evidence. She's now a teacher In the United States for the San Deigo High School in southern California. It didn't take long until there were two more murders, of two male students when she was finally apprehended and sentenced to life In prison in 2022. How can a woman that evil get away and just live on in prison? People like her deserve to die, she killed and was let go just to kill again? How is that ever acceptable? I have to do something about it.  Sergio wrote down her name in the Notebook, and read over the rules again. 40 seconds, that's what the Death Note says. I'll see about that. If I want to try this thing out, I might as well try it on a criminal. That way it's somewhat justified. This Kira Focus page will post if she dies almost immediately. Sergio lay down on his bed, setting the Death Note under his pillow. He checked his phone one more time, it was 9 PM. Well, I'll see if you're dead tomorrow, Brooklynn Meyer. 

______________________________________________________

5:40 AM, 8 Hours later. 

Sergio woke up to the sound of his alarm, *BEEP*, and slowly yawned and rubbed his eyes *BEEP* and rushed to turn off his alarm *BEEP*. Sergio groaned got up and looked in the mirror. His messy black curlyish hair and his strong collarbone. Man, I just woke up and I'm still sexy. Okay, so what to do today...Sergio looked around and yawned again. SHOOT! Sergio ran to his phone and checked the page. He looked at his phone in utter shock to see that the page updated. Not with a new criminal, but now with an alert. The new post read: Kira judged renowned killer Brooklynn Meyer! Died of a Heart attack at 9:01 PM inside of her prison cell, is this the start of Killings by our glorious god... KIRA! Sergio could do nothing but stand and cover his mouth, in utter disbelief. I-I killed her... She died. I killed that woman... With the Death Note? He ran over to the Death Note hidden beneath a pillow and held it. The Death Note... Is real?

What I say: I’m fine.

What I mean: I’m so upset the Death Note musical never got a proper English adaption, because it would have been such a great adaptation, but instead all we got was a terrible live action remake. The songs were so good and had so much clever wordplay and elegant phrasing that is reminiscent of the original, but not only that, the actors’ voices were so beautiful singing each of their parts. Some of the lyrics, especially in the song “Where is the Justice?” are so relevant to people today, giving us real criticisms of the police force and making us think about what is really just. Many of the characters are so great and well portrayed, even when they are changed some. It would have been a beautiful adaptation to see on stage, but unfortunately, there is no full English production and there may never be.

#death note #death note musical #I’m so sad #it’s beautiful and I love it #but I can only speak English #L’s voice is so pretty #and Ryuk’s voice is just spot on #anyways it’s amazing #in my own opinion of course

How about a Rhea Ripley x reader where it’s bonfire night and turns out Demi is terrified of fireworks bc of the noise (Ik it’s a complete contrast to her Rhea personality) but reader walks in on Demi sitting on their bed covering her ears, tears in her eyes. So reader pulls her to their chest and let’s her hear readers heart beat until she falls asleep.

Then fluff when they wake up :)

Thank youuuuu

Thank you for the request 🖤♥️

Fear of Loud Noises

Demi Bennett x reader

Warnings: None

Sitting with Shayna and Nikki watching the fire increase and grow. Laughter and the scent of alcohol and smoke surrounded the enclosed area. Toni came towards one of the chairs closest to you, Bianca not far behind with Kevin. "Where's Demi, Y/N?" Nikki called out. You looked at her then back towards the home you shared with your girlfriend Demi. "I'm not sure, I'll go find her!" you called back.

The loud explosions from the fireworks made your ears ring. Sliding the deck door open and closing it behind you calling out for your long-term girlfriend, but when you didn't get a response you began looking around. It wasn't like her to miss the biggest time of the summer break away from the ring and traveling.

Walking upstairs you knocked on the bedroom door, slowly opening it spotting your girlfriend dressed her leggings and oversized hoodie. Her glasses where perched on top of her head keeping her hair out of her face. She had tear streaks stained on her cheeks, her tattooed hands where covering her ears, ocean eyes shut tightly. You shut the door quickly making your way towards her. You gently grabbed her shoulder but she flinched causing you to move back, not wanting to scare her even more than she already was.

Her fear slicked eyes was a very rare sight, her walls where torn down by the loud explosions echoing on the outside. The bonfire lit up the room, glimmering across the window and mirrors. Slowly you kneeled down on the bed, your fingers entangling in her hair pulling the circular glasses off and folding them gently laying them on the nightstand.

Laying down you pulled her close, her arms wrapping tight around your waist grasping onto you with dear life. Her head pressed into your chest, listening to the harmony of your heart thumping against your ribcage. Fingers tracing her back in a soothing motion, her body going limp against yours. She must have gotten lost in your heart beat because within minutes soft quiet snores could be heard from the wrestler.

You smiled placing kisses on the top of her head, arms wrapping nicely around her just holding her close. Your E/C watched the glimmer of the fireworks from the window, listening to the sounds. Berry, Ryuk, and Luna soon found themselves jumping into the bed laying with you and your girlfriend.

You allowed sleep to overtake your senses, head leaning against Demi's, arms never once leaving each other. The warmth of the stronger female encased you, pushing you into a deep sleep despite the loud drunken voices of your friends filing in from the outside.

Sunlight poured into the bedroom, Luna was up and playing with one of her squeaky toys. The high-pitched sound woke up the wrestler who slowly lifted herself from your chest. Her tired eyes lifted towards the pets then towards you, who laid fast asleep. Your H/C spiraled around the pillow, lips parted as soft breaths left you.

She rubbed her eyes slowly getting out of bed making her way out and towards the kitchen. She planned to wake you up to your F/D after you helped her last night. She didn't plan on you finding out about her fear. Demi was the Rhea Ripley, not the woman who's terrified of fireworks.

You woke up to an empty bed, Ryuk was fast asleep right above your head, his tail sitting across your forehead. Lifting him and placing him on Demi's side, and sitting up stretching your arms above your head. "Morning princess.." Demi mumbled. You smiled looking over towards her, your smile brightening when you noticed your F/D in her hands. You gently took it from her whispering a soft thank you.

She laying down, pushing herself between your legs and laying her head against your stomach, strong arms wrapping around your waist. You smiled sitting against the cushioned headboard, tracing your fingers through her hair. You hummed when you felt her lips trail over your bare stomach, whispering soft 'I love you' over and over against your tanned skin.

In Death Note, you know the part where the L placed spy cams everywhere within Yagami’s house?

What if Light and his girlfriend start doing the deeds to look like normal hormones teens?

YES OMG i’ve actually thought of this before so i’m so glad someone requested it LMFAO

> warnings: swearing, smut, degradation, sir kink, kind of exhibition??

  Light tossed his backpack onto his bed, loosening his red tie before collapsing onto the bed himself, letting his exhaustion express itself in the most natural way he thought possible. It’s hard to act natural when you’re being watched; you almost forget every aspect of your daily routine, putting excessive thought into typically mindless tasks like walking around your house or laying on your bed to the point of obviousness. 

“Light, wanna play video games?” Ryuk asked, standing before the boy.

Light fell back onto his bed, placing his hands behind his shoulders with a deep sigh. Closing his eyes, he prepared for the performance he’d have to put on. How could he ignore Ryuk without giving off reactions to the shinigami’s words, tilts of the head or instinctive hums of agreement that could incriminate himself in a matter of seconds.

“You listening? Hello?” 

Light only ignored him, grabbing a long beige coat from the closet before heading outside, Ryuk following close behind.

“Hey, Light, what’s with the brushing off? I’m starting to get annoyed.”

He popped his collar and rolled up his sleeves, checking meticulously for any bits of wire or chips of plastic that could be audio bugging him. 

“Light! Hey!” Ryuk wined.

“There might be secret hidden cameras around the house,” The brunette broke the silence, his voice in a slightly raspy lowered tone, almost a whisper, “Or microphones, probably both.” He explained, going on to detail his clever methods of finding out if someone had been in his room- or if someone had opened his door, at least.

“Let’s go on a camera hunt! You got a plan after that?” Ryuk asks.

“Simple, make it seem like I have no idea the cameras are even there, and that I’m just a normal teenager. I’ll probably need some excuse for why I have that paper and lead in my door, they’ll want to know why I don’t want anyone in my room, what I’m hiding, and if the footage reveals I’m hiding absolutely nothing, that’ll look even more suspicious. Every teenager has secrets.”

“So what’ll you do?”

“You’ll see.”

                               _______________________________

“This feels objectifying, Yagami.” 

You walk down the street leading to your boyfriend’s house, accompanied by the man himself as he explains his, quite frankly, pervy plan.

“Objectifying? We have sex all the time, Y/N.”

“Yeah, but nobody plans out when they’re gonna fuck. It’s just weird.”

“Hey,” Light stops walking, facing towards you as he gently lifts your chin with his thumb and index finger. The feeling made you melt, and he knew that very well. The way Light held your face and looked at you like you were the only thing on earth felt exhilarating, he could tell you anything in that position and you’d believe it. And that’s just what he does, constantly. “This is not an option, this isn’t personal business. This is about Kira. This is going to throw suspicion off me, okay? Do it. For me.”

You sighed deeply. He had you the moment he held your chin like that. “And there won’t be any explicit footage of us? There won’t be a camera like, right there?”

“I don’t know where all the cameras are, but there aren’t many like that in my room at all, we’ll be safe.” He lied, a practice that came so easily to him he no longer viewed it as morally wrong. It was just something he did, like going to school and eating dinner or doing homework, he also lied.

“Okay.” You agreed with a smile, prompting him to release his grasp on you and continue the walk home.

“I didn’t realize he went through such great lengths...might there be something in his room that he doesn’t want anyone to see?” Soichiro Yagami remarked, watching Light fiddle with the thin strip of paper in the doorway and the piece of lead in the hinges as you stood patiently behind him.

“Well, considering he’s 17, it isn’t all that unusual. I’ve done it myself, for no reason at all.” L responds, “I am a bit curious, though, as to what he’s hiding so admently.”

You enter Light’s bedroom with him, shutting the door behind you as you watch him toss his bag down besides his bed. 

“Y/N, are you scared of me?” He turns to face you.

“Hm? Why would I be.”

“L, the best detective in the world, thinks I’m Kira when I’m not.”

Oh, Light.

“He makes me out to be some kind of monster,” He continues, “I’m worried you’ll start to believe him.”

“I’m not scared.”

“Maybe you should be.”

“Huh?”

Before you could register his comment, Light lunges for you, tossing you onto his bed before tickling your stomach and sides.

‘L-Light! St-stop! Please!” You cried between giggles.

“Make me.”

Understanding, you connect your lips to his, causing his hands to rub up and down where he previously tickled you. You moaned into the kiss as Light pushed harder into it, his desperation showing. You wished he would take his time, but you knew the real reason you were here. His hands slid down to your lower half, pushing his hand inside your pants and rubbing your clit through your panties. You gasped, hand reaching up to grab his wrist reflexively. He let out a chuckle. 

Impatiently, he stood up straight, unbuttoning your pants before slipping them completely off along with your panties, leaving you in only your t-shirt on his bed.

“I figured,” L sighed, “You can close your eyes if you’d like, Yagami-san, but I’m afraid I need you here for legal purposes.”

Light crouched down onto the floor, lifting your legs to lay bent on his shoulders. Teasingly, he licked a line down your slit, earning a gasp from you. He straightened himself out again, moving towards your face. “L is watching,” He whispered, his hot breath on your ear, “Put on a show.” He smirked.

Watching? Had Light lied?

Light lowered himself back down to push his tongue inside you. His tongue wriggled around, exploring your walls with lust.

“Oh, Light” You moaned, slapping your hand over your mouth to muffle the sound. You knew L, you knew the whole task force for that matter. Your face flushed with embarrassment imagining any of them reviewing this footage and hearing your moans. Hell, Light’s dad worked with L, he could be watching for all you knew.

You jolted at the sudden sting of Light smacking your thigh with an open palm. “Don’t hold back, angel, and don’t cover your mouth. I want to hear all your pretty moans.” He said, removing himself from your core before pressing his lips almost to your ear again, lowering his voice to a whisper, “I want L to see how good I make you feel. Got it?”

You faintly nodded before he returned to your heat, dipping his tongue inside once again while his thumb felt your clit, rubbing it in circles. You knot your fingers through his brown hair, bringing his face closer to your pussy with a moan. He sped up his actions, practically abusing your clit while his tongue hit your g-spot, curling sightly upwords inside of you.

“Fuck, Light, I can’t, I’m gonna...”

With that, Light pulled away, leaving you edged and wanting more. You pouted, sticking your lip out with a whine. Light, having none of it, roughly raked his hand through your hair, forcing you up close to his face by your scalp. “You listen to me.” He growled, the heat of his breath warming your face, “No whining, and no disobeying. Got that?” He yanked your hair with the last syllable for emphasis. You let out a weak “Mhm.” 

He shoved you to the bed chest-first by your hair, never letting his fingers leave your locks. 

“Ass up.” He commanded, you obliged slowly, legs feeling a bit sore from him eating you out.

Hastily he unbuckled his belt before folding it in half, smacking your ass with it leaving a slight red mark. “When I tell you to do something, you do it quickly.”

“Yes Light.”

You yelped as he smacked you again with the belt in the same place, the stinging leaving your ass feel like it was burning. 

“Yes who?” He asked.

“Yes sir.”

“Atta girl.” He pushed his khakis fully down before aligning himself with your entrance, rubbing his head up and down your slit teasingly.

“Sir please...” You begged.

“Please what? Say it.”

“Please, please fuck me sir. I want your cock, please.” 

“Well, only since you asked so nicely.” Light slid himself into you with a groan. Slowly, he rocked himself into you. 

“F-faster, please sir. Faster.” You moaned, gripping onto the sheets.

Light obliged right away, almost as if he was waiting for you to ask for it. He quicked his speed, pounding into you mercilessly. He licked his lips, relishing in the loud slew of moans and curses spilling from your mouth as he fucked you.

“Look at you, you fucking slut. Begging for me to go faster. You’re so goddamn desperate for my cock, you dirty whore.”

You couldn’t help but moan at his words, though degrading, the fact that Light liked you at all made you feel worth something. Light Yagami, Kira, the god of the new world, liked you. Though you’d never admit it to the stubborn boy, he could say almost anything to you, about you, and you’d still love him.

“Fuck, Y/N, you’re so tight.” He knotted his fingers back into your hair for stability as he thrusted into you even faster, burying himself deep into you.

“Oh my god, fuck, Light- sir, it’s so good.” You cried, feeling your orgasm creeping up once again. “I’m gonna...”

“Do it, come for me angel.” He encouraged, bringing his free hand up to play with your clit. The stimulation sent you over the edge. “Oh fuck, oh my god, fuck you feel so good.” You came loudly, only a little before Light did as well.

L watched Light collapsed beside you on the bed, only the sound of your breathless pants escaping the monitor. “Uh, they’re done, Yagami-san. You can...open your eyes again. Honestly, this security footage may be useless now, at the very least we cannot bring it to court, considering your son and his girlfriend are both 17. Perhaps this was his plan along.”

“You’re saying this makes you more sure he’s Kira?!” Soichiro raised his voice.

“Well, it definitely raises my suspicions.”

Light finally stood up, tucking himself back into his jeans. Before you could pull your bottoms back up, he picked up your panties from the floor, playfully spinning them around his index finger. “You won’t be missing these, will you?” He asks sarcastically, tossing them into the drawer in his bedside table. 

“Ah, so that’s what he’s hiding. A valid excuse to not want family in your room but... unexpected, to say the least.” L remarked, still somehow watching the cameras.

[13eyond13]

HI! Guess who's back. I'm not sure if you're going to remember me but I'm Abs Anon. It's been a long while! I moved countries now and I'm not boringly waiting at ER, I'm boringly waiting for customers, trying to come up with a cool ask. Unfortunately this is all I've got: what character of death note would be worse/best at customer service. Rating from 0 to 10 if you want. I hope you have a great day!! <3

Why hello Absy! What a pleasant surprise. Congratulations on the big move! I love this ask lol... DEATH NOTE CHARACTERS + HOW WELL THEY WOULD PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE:

B: Has the exact opposite of a helpful, cooperative attitude, and is probably constantly looking for ways he can undermine or one-up others whenever they come to him with legitimate questions or complaints (1/10)

ROGER: Very easily stressed and discouraged by customer dissatisfaction, and no tact for resolving the issues harmoniously or efficiently. No customers voluntarily choose him to deal with their problems, and his colleagues often forget he even works there (1.5/10)

SIDOH: Vaguely cares about the customer's concerns because he is anxious and easily bossed around, but useless at actually fixing the issues. Also calls in sick every other day (2/10)

RYUK: Just out to have a good time and to avoid punishment or responsibility at all costs. Mostly trying to catch a nap in the storage room or figuring out how to shoplift something from his own store without being caught on the security cameras (3/10)

MIKAMI: That sullen guy who always eats by himself in the corner of the break room, and who you've never seen smiling once. Follows the company policy to the letter, but he's definitely not someone you would choose to warmly greet customers at the door (4/10)

REM: She is only helpful if she has a crush on you (4/10)

L: Can be pleasant and tactful if he wants to be, but is very unsympathetic and sarcastic to customers and coworkers who irritate him by being inefficient or slow to catch on. Extremely knowledgeable about the things he's genuinely interested in, so still gets a fair number of repeat clients who request his help because they believe he's the best at fixing the issue, even if not the most personable or patient (5/10)

MATT: Probably more fun to hang out with as a coworker than to rely on for a job well done. Will always go for a raunchy joke rather than attempt to be appropriate, and though he is smart and capable he doesn't really care that much if he's being recognized for his achievements or climbing the corporate "ladder of success" (5.5/10)

AIZAWA: Wants to do a good job, but isn't that great at coming up with original solutions of his own, and sometimes lets his hot temper get in the way of being helpful and polite (6/10)

MELLO: Perfectly capable of delivering good customer service, but has very little desire to help others, and also thinks it's usually funnier to watch them sweat (6.5/10)

NEAR: Likes working together to solve problems with others, and is pretty good at it, but has a hard time stuffing his own blunt and negative opinions when he's cranky or annoyed (7/10)

WEDY: Does whatever is asked of her perfectly fine, but is a bit too aloof and independent to be a natural team player (7/10)

HALLE: Great at being flexible in order to meet demands, but sometimes lets her own personal feelings get in the way of a job well done (7.5/10)

KIYOMI: Has the polite customer service voice down pat, but is a little bit too much of a fussy diva to wait on others without reserve (7.5/10)

LIGHT: Great at figuring out what others want from him and then attempting to become that for them, but his secret arrogance and snobby sense of superiority makes it so he is never truly committed to performing at the top of his game in a servile role. An exception might be if it was a position that gave him special distinction and social status while also appearing servile (eg. a clergyman or some such thing) (8/10)

MISA: Cheerful disposition and an entertainer by trade, smart at knowing what others want from her and then giving it to them. Would be higher up if she didn't let her personal feelings get in the way of her professionalism a bit much (8.5/10)

NAOMI: Expert at being likable and perceptive and at stuffing her own negative feelings and opinions in order to get the job done, but could stand to be a little more extraverted and optimistic, maybe (8.5/10)

MATSUDA: Extremely enthusiastic and genuinely outgoing, always willing to lend a hand and a people-pleaser to a fault. Would be higher up if he didn't run his mouth a bit too much without thinking sometimes (8.5/10)

SOICHIRO: Very hard worker with a sincere desire to help everyone and think about what's best for others instead of just himself, but might get a little blustery and temperamental if there were big stressful conflicts at work (8.5/10)

WATARI: Master of fading into the background and just being a silent servant dude. Would be higher up on the list except that he might be a little TOO good at being invisible sometimes (9/10)

SACHIKO: Also kind of a master of fading into the background and being a silent servant type; biggest weak spot is she can be a little frosty when she doesn't like someone, and it shows (9/10)

MOGI: Has an incredibly array of skills and almost never lets his personal feelings get in the way of doing his job well or helping whoever needs to be helped. Also pushes himself to be outgoing when he has to, even though he's shy (9.5/10)

GEVANNI: Extremely hard worker who you could rely on to get anything done, and seems to make it his mission to be useful while also successfully blending in (9.5/10)

SAYU: Laid-back, friendly, funny and sweet; I'd definitely hire her to work as a cashier or a hostess anytime, even if she might sometimes get slightly lazy about doing her work (9.5/10)

AIBER: Charming, easygoing, and flexible for fitting any role he's asked to fill, plus a people-person and body language expert by trade. You just know he'd be the top salesman on your salesfloor and snapping up that employee of the month position every other month (10/10)

chapter 10: little firecracker

previous chapter

Kiko bolted upright. Her hand flew to her chest as she cast a panicked gaze around the room. Tetsu was still asleep on the sofa, a light snore filling the silence around them. The door was still firmly locked as it was last night. From what she could tell everything looked normal. 

So why did she fly awake so suddenly? 

She shrugged it off. Maybe something in her dream startled her so much her brain pulled her back into reality. Not that she was sure what it could have been. Her dream had been polluted with a never ending cycle of her hands slamming the paper weight into Ryuk’s face. The loop brought a slight frown to her face. If she thought hard enough, she could still feel the ghosts of his blood and viscera on her skin. 

Lying back down, she tried to turn her thoughts away the dream she was having. She prayed she wouldn’t return to the world where she could relive one of the greatest moments, and greatest shames, in her life. Her eyes had started to drift close when she heard it. 

Voices. 

Kiko jumped to her feet. Her heart raced with each passing moment. She tried to gently shove Tetsu awake, going as far as lightly slapping his face. All he did was turn around in his slumber. Kiko muttered a strong swear word under her breath. 

She lunged for a nearby pan, holding it in a vice like grip. Creeping her way to the door, she sneaked a glance at the pharmacy. Inside, there were a group of five people. Men and women poked around their supplies, sweeping their arms along the shelves and stuffing as much as they could into their bags. All of them carried a weapon of some sort. 

Kiko couldn’t contain her gulp when she saw the sniper rifle. 

These people weren’t playing games. 

She turned back to look at Tetsu. The bruises looked even worse today. Her heart ached as her mind flashed to the game the night before. She wasn’t going to let anyone hurt him ever again. 

It was only going to be a matter of time before they started searching the entire pharmacy. These people take what they need, then steal everything they want. Kiko had a unsettling instinct that that included people too. Maybe she could distract them, or scare them away? Not that the latter was likely, her only weapon being the kitchen utensil gripped tightly in her hands. 

Kiko placed her hand on the door handle. Sending a silent prayer to whatever higher power was mocking her, she opened the door and slammed it shut behind her. 

All five intruders spun in her direction. Kiko suppressed the urge to shudder as the sniper rifle sight was trained on her. The man holding it leered at her, his pierced tongue darting out of his mouth. 

“What do we have here?” 

In the strongest voice she could muster (which was still riddled with a scratchy rasp), she commanded the room. “Take what you need and leave.” 

No one moved. 

Kiko raised her pan in an offensive position. She couldn’t imagine how pathetic she looked - a kitchen appliance against one sniper rifle, a katana and semi automatic weapons. The bruise on her neck and bandages covering her hand and elbow did nothing to support her case. Still, she stood her ground, trying to ignore how her knees shook. “I told you to leave.” 

“We’re not going anywhere.” The man nodded to one of his friends. Immediately they surged forward, stepping closer to Kiko. 

She spun around to face them. “I’m warning you!” 

They ignored her, moving forward and reaching for her. In one smooth move, she slammed the pan into her attackers head. They stumbled backwards, gripping their bleeding forehead with a curse. 

Simultaneously, Kiko heard the sound of three distinct clicks. 

“Leave. Now.” She prayed her words were as solid as her resolve.

“You’re a little fire cracker, aren’t you?” The man with the pierced tongue laughed. 

From the corner of her eye, she could see the man with the katana moving towards her. She subtly took a step back. Her weapon was nothing against his katana. The distance he had meant she would be skewered the moment she tried to attack him. 

“I’d be careful if I were you.” Kiko tensed her muscles. “Get too close and you’ll get burned.” 

With those words, she darted forwards. She ducked out of the way of her attackers, flying behind the shelves as a shield. Without a second thought she flung herself out of the shattered window, glass slicing into her legs. 

A shot rang out. 

Kiko fell to the floor. She groaned, pulling her head off of the concrete. She tried to pull herself upwards, only for a foot to land on her back. A cry ripped out of her throat. 

“Careful little firecracker.” The man whispered, metal pushed into her spine. She froze. “You’re coming with us.” 

“Hey, Niragi!” A new voice shouted. Kiko tried to crane her neck to see, wincing at the pain igniting in her body. “Guess what we found.” 

Kiko’s blood turned cold. It wasn’t long before Tetsu’s broken body was thrown besides her. Her eyes scanned him for any new injuries, struggling to differentiate between the old and the new. His chest was rising and falling. 

Kiko sighed a breath of relief. At least he was still alive. 

“What should we do with them?” 

Kiko clenched her jaw. 

“Let’s take them back. We could always use some fresh meat.”

With those final words, the butt of a gun slammed into the back of her head. The world around her melted away. 

                                                             *

Kiko awoke with a start. Her head banged with a blinding pain. Liquid was running down her arm. The bruises on her neck pulsed. She groaned, rolling her head to the side. 

She caught sight of Tetsu, his body limp in a chair. His hands were tied behind his back and his legs roped against a chair. The events of the last day came rushing back to her. 

Kiko thrashed against her bonds, groaning as more liquid moved further down her arm. The looters. The gun shot. The darkness. 

“Where the fuck are we?” Kiko muttered. She finally looked up to take in the rest of the room. Two of them tugged at a memory of the back of her brain. She swore she could remember encountering someone with those muscles, and that hoodie at her spades game. The more she tried to think, the more intense her headache got, until she was nearly crumbling in her seat. 

Giving up on those two, she surveyed the remainder of the room. She recognised some faces, sneering at the memory of them looting her temporary home. She couldn’t hide the smirk she saw at the cut on one of their foreheads. At least she managed to do a little damage. 

“You’re awake!” An eccentric man appeared in her line of vision. She had to control her expression, feeling an urge to raise her eyebrows at his robe and sunglasses adorning his face. “My name is Hatter, pleasure to meet you. How are you feeling?” 

Kiko remained silent. 

“Niragi here tells me he found you while they were on a supply run. Living in a pharmacy?” 

Her lips remained sealed shut. Hatter sighed, a dramatic hand falling to his forehead. He spun away from her, his robe swishing with the action. Already she got the vibe he had too high of an ego. She was itching to put him back in his place.

“How am I expected to help you, when you don’t speak to me?” His gaze turned to somewhere she couldn’t see. He gave a small motion of his hands. 

Kiko’s mind raced with the possibilities. Was that him delivering a silent kill order? Was that code for torture? 

She quickly found out as a finger pushed into her shoulder blade. Kiko’s body instinctively doubled over, a high pitched shriek forcing itself from her. More liquid rushed down her arm. She saw her own life drip to the floor, marking the carpet an ugly red. 

The gun shot. 

It hit her then that she must have been shot. The adrenaline of the attack must have diluted the pain. That, coupled with a constant, low pulsing agony all over her body, must have erased the injury all together. She was definitely feeling it now. Kiko clenched her jaw to stop herself from screaming - in pain or fury, she wasn’t sure. 

The pressure left her wound. Kiko gasped for breath, her body still crumpled. Hatter crouched down so he could meet her eyes. She fixed him with a steely glare. “You were living at the pharmacy, am I correct?” 

The memory of the blinding agony lingered as she reluctantly nodded her head.

“My men found some playing cards there.” Hatter pulled out an array of cards, including the seven of diamonds and two of clubs. Amongst the pile, she spotted a hearts card. Kiko’s interest piqued - that wasn’t one of hers. “Are these all yours?” 

“They’re ours.” Kiko cleared her throat. She jutted her head to Tetsu. “Some of those cards are his.” 

“I have to say, it’s quite an impressive collection.” Hatter flitted through them, assessing each one as if it held the secrets to life itself. “Can I ask you a question?” 

“Go ahead.” 

“How are you still alive?” His gaze wandered over the wounds littering her body. Compared to Tetsu, she was perfectly healthy. This didn’t go unnoticed by Hatter.

“Because I have to win. To get back home.” 

Hatter’s face lit up in a bright smile. “We need more people like you. Niragi, you were right to bring them here. I don’t necessarily, um, agree with the method.” He looked at Kiko’s bleeding shoulder. “Try not to shoot them next time.” 

Kiko resisted the urge to make a smart remark. It wasn’t like they were brought here by choice. 

“I have a proposition for you and your friend. If you’re willing to accept it.” Kiko subtly leaned forward. “I want you to stay here. You play games for us, and in return, we provide you a safe haven where you can do whatever you like.” 

“What’s the catch?” 

“We have three rules here. To maintain order, we all need to follow them. One - everyone wears beach wear. It’s harder to hide weapons.” Kiko’s eyes must have involuntarily moved to the muscled man’s gun for him to continue. “Only the militants can carry weapons.”

Once again she had to bite her tongue. It clearly wasn’t the best idea, considering her attackers seemed to have an addiction to spilling blood.

“Rule number two - turn in all playing cards you earn. And three... death to all traitors.” 

Kiko gulped. She had a feeling if she rejected this offer, she would be deemed a traitor. It was clear by the rules he was clearly unhinged - what other options did she have? 

“What is it you want with the playing cards?” 

The man spun around, pulling open a curtain Kiko didn’t notice earlier. Along the wall, was a diagram of all the possible playing cards. Some had crosses through them, while others remained unmarked. “Once we have a full set, one person can go back to the real world.”

Kiko glanced at Tetsu, still unconscious. The only thing reassuring her he was still alive was the gentle rise and fall of his chest. Her mind flashed back to her own brother, the cheeky glint long gone. Now with Ryuk out of the picture, she was determined to get that back. This was a chance to go home. A chance to see Riku again. 

“We accept.” 

She wasn’t sure how Tetsu would feel about her agreeing on his behalf. He was the one to say do anything you can to find your way home. They just had to follow the rules, and everything should be fine. As she told herself this, an uneasy feeling settled at the bottom of her gut. 

The man’s smile grew tenfold. He clapped his hands together. “Welcome to the Beach!”

Yandere!Light x Reader [Death Note]

Requested on Quotev: https://www.quotev.com/story/12466031/Oneshot-book

(Y/N)= Your Name

(Y/L/N)= Your Last Name

You walk out of school and start making your way home. You usually didn't take the bus since the distance was quite small. Whistling along to the time of a song you recently heard, you felt something cold on the top of your head. You stopped and looked up. The sky was now gray and it was drizzling.

Letting out a sigh, you search your bag for your umbrella only to realize you forgot to take it with you. That's when it started pouring, your hair and clothes immediately getting soaked.

"Ugh! Of all the things I could forget..." Seeing as you had no choice, you started running.

Now fully soaked, you approach the bus stop as you squeeze the water out of your hair. Standing under the cover something catches your attention from the corner of your eye. Looking towards the alleyway right next to you, you see something lying on the floor. Being the curious person that you are, you dismiss the bus closing up and go to find out what that was. 

"A notebook?" You squat down and take it. 

You flip through the pages in case you could find the name of the owner, but it was completely empty. You close it and notice big white letters on the cover.

"Death Note... What? Is this some kind of merch?"

"No. It is what it says it is." A gruff voice spoke out behind you.

Surprise painted on your face you turn around to face the person. The moment your eyes land on them, you let out a loud gasp, the mysterious notebook falling from your hands as they flew up to cover your mouth.

A large being, thin as a skeleton holding what looked like a scythe, a huge grin on its face which was almost fully covered by a grayish white mask. Black hair standing up from the top of its head defying the rules of gravity and bandages wrapping around its body.

"Now now deary, I suggest you don't get anyone's attention. Hehe after all, you're the only one who can see me. You wouldn't want people to think you're crazy huh?" It chuckled.

"W-who are you?!" 

"Oh me? Heh I'm Deridovely! A Shinigami, at your service.... or not! Heheh"

"Shinigami? They actually exist?" 

"As you can see! And you're the only one who can see!" The Shinigami burst out in full on laughter.

"W-why am I the only one? And what is this notebook?" You questioned.

"Well you touched my Death Note! The moment you did, I became visible to you alone! As for the book... I did tell you, it is what it says." The grin on its face widened more if possible.

Confused and a bit annoyed that you still didn't get the full truth, you open the book again. This time you notice on the inside of the cover what seemed to be a list. Scanning your eyes over it, you quickly come to realize that in front of you are a set of rules on how to properly use the Death Note.

"I can...kill with this?" You whispered as the Shinigami smirked.

Afraid of the power this notebook holds, after taking one last look at Deridovely you place it in your bag, determination now evident in your eyes. You once again started making your way home, the Shinigami trailing close behind you and chuckling. 

...

About a month has passed, and you managed to use the Death Note without making anyone suspicious. You used it to kill only the worst of criminals. Deridovely had taken a liking to calling you the 'Timid assassin' as you always refused his suggestions of going a bit more wild with the power he had given you. You refused to toy with people's lives unless they truly deserved it.

"Did you know that another Death Note was dropped in this world?"

Not taking your eyes off your homework you motioned for Deridovely to continue.

"Hehe apparently a boy your age has found it. Said something about being 'Justice' and 'God of the new world'. Seems like a reach heh?" The creature who you had come to be somewhat of a friend to you cackled.

"God of the new world? Yeah, it does sound a bit weird... Doesn't he sound dangerous?"

"Hmm how so?"

"I mean, a new world? That’s a big promise. What is he planing to do?"

"Hehe from what Ryuk tells me, this boy is you but in a nutshell, as you humans like to say."

"So, killing criminals?" You asked throwing an apple his way.

The God of death who had become kind of addicted to them, quickly caught it and devoured the fruit in one bite letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Well, yes. But he said that he won't hesitate killing anyone who dares to cross him."

"Hm... I don't really like this… Who is he anyway? Though I have a few suspicions..."

"You do?"

"Well yes... This one boy from my class. He's been acting really weird lately. I don't think he noticed but a few days ago I caught him mumbling to himself something about checking out the news for any new criminals and that all of them deserve death... Do you think it's him?"

"That, I can't tell you deary!"

"I'll buy you as many apples as you want!"

"Tempting, but no!"

"Oh come-" you were interrupted by your mother's voice coming from the living room.

Confused, you exit your room and make your way over to her. She was standing in front of the TV, hand up to her mouth as her widened eyes stared at the screen.

"Mom?" You looked at the television and gasped.

Criminals being reported dead, one after the other across the whole country. 

"That must be him. Heh he's going crazy with that book isn't he?" Deridovely chimed from next to you.

Your mom, unaware of the third presence in the room, clicked her tongue in semi-annoyance.

"I can't believe this!" she exclaimed "How is that even possible? Every criminal just...just drops dead!" 

"Yeah... Weird." you mumbled and went back to your room. 

As you walk in you notice your phone lighting up with a notification. Seeing that it was a text from an unknown number you decide to find out who that person is. 

'Hello...who is this?' 

'I'm Yagami Light. I found your number from one of our classmates. There's something important I have to tell you.' 

'Oh! Hello. What would you like to tell me?' 

'I need you to come over to my house. It's important.'

'Is everything okay? When would you like to meet?' You bite on your nail in anticipation as Deridovely peers above your shoulder and chuckles. 

"What are you laughing at?" You turn around and glare at the Shinigami. 

"At your face hehe. Your feelings for this boy are very obvious with how red your cheeks are hehe!"

"No more apples for you." You hold back a laugh as Deridovely dramatically falls down to the floor. 

"You're cruel!" 

"Not really!" You giggle but get interrupted as another message pops up on your phone screen. 

'It's very urgent so, when the rain clears up a little. Is that okay with you?' You gulp staring at the text for a moment before you respond.

'Okay sure. Could you send me your address?'

"So, you're going?" 

"Well yes, he said it's important so..." 

"And if it is a trap?"

"Aw Deri! That's why you're coming with me!" 

"As much as I don't hate you and love the apples you give me, you know I can't kill someone who's not supposed to die yet. Right?" He said tilting his head to the side.

His sudden seriousness surprising you, you stop gathering your things, you hide your Death Note well, making sure your mother won't see it and look at him.

"Of course I do. And I don't want you to. But, if needed you can get us out of there somehow right? Make a distraction or something?" 

"What a prankster you've become! Of course I can hehe!" 

"Great then!" You smile and toss another apple at your bizarre friend. 

As time passed and the weather got better, you got less and less determined about your visit. 

After all it isn't very encouraging knowing that you may be walking right into a serial killer's hiding spot...

...

You thank Light's mother as she takes your jacket and umbrella from you. Giving you a sweet smile, she guided you to her son's room. You thanked her once again and walked up the stairs with the Shinigami following behind you. 

You clear your throat as you knock on his door. He immediately opened and greeted you with a huge grin. 

"(Y/N)! Thank you for coming! Step inside!" He moved to the side to let you in. 

"Thank you, Light." You said sitting on his desk chair as he motioned you to. 

As he goes to sit on his bed, you hear Deri speak. 

"Well Ryuk I wasnt expecting you to be here!" 

Discreetly looking towards him you quickly realize that Ryuk must be the other Shinigami Deri mentioned earlier.

So that means-

"(Y/N). I wanted to tell you that I know what you are." Light walks up to his desk and grabs a notebook which was hidden among his homework. 

"And I...am Kira." 

"W-what... What are you talking about, Light?" Your grip on your bag gets tighter as he got closer to you. 

"You know exactly what I'm saying. One day, as you were walking home I noticed you talking to yourself... At least that's what it looked like to others. But I, being in the same boat as you, knew better." He towers over you, his breath fanning on your face.

"I've had the book for a while now. And I was as discreet as you were while using it. But I couldn't just tell you I knew the truth. No, I had to make you suspicious before just confirming it. So you see, me returning all those lingering glances to you during class isn't just because I like you as much as you like me..." His face gets even closer to yours. 

"T-then what else?" You ask completely disregarding the mutual confession of feelings. 

"Well... I want us to be rulers of the new world. God and Goddess of a clean, rid of crime place... And all it takes is me being yours and well, you being mine." He whispered and placed his lips upon your in a slow kiss. 

Pulling back, he brought the Death Note up to eye level. 

"This right here, will be both our weapon and shield as we fight crime on our way to true salvation. We are this world's hope!" He said, opening his arms as in to lure you and hold you in them. 

"I've killed so many people to stand here in front you. To be worthy of you! And I will kill many more to protect us. To protect you. So please consider this!" He grabs both of your hands and stares in to your eyes. 

Dizzied by his kiss and very passionate speech, you gulp down the lump stuck in your throat. He sounded... Crazy. Obsessed. Obsessed with power and obsessed with you. 

But how can I say yes to this? This is completely nuts! 

Knowing you have to say something, you took a deep breath thinking over your words.

"Light I-" You were interrupted by a loud knock in the door.

You both stepped away from each other as his mom looked apologetically at you two.

"I'm very sorry but something important has come up. We need to go visit your father at the hospital." 

"Mother! What happened?" Light asked and walked towards her.

"Well he collapsed during work. It's not bad, he probably overly exerted himself again but they took him in just in case. We should go see him..." 

"Yes-yes right away." He grabs his jacket and hands you your bag which had fallen to the ground. 

You quickly thank him as you all go downstairs. Grabbing the rest of your things, you say goodbye to Light's mother and head to the door. 

"(Y/N)." Light stops you. 

He comes up to you and leans down just a bit to whisper to your ear. 

"I'd do everything for us to be together. Everything... Now be safe on the way back!" He grins at you. 

"Y-yes right... Goodnight Light." 

Walking away from Light's house, you feel the presence of your Shinigami companion next to you. 

"Where did you ran off to Deri?" 

"Well hehe I had to make a distraction for you, right?" 

"Wh-what! Deri!" 

"Well deary don't you worry. I just made that brat's father feel a bit under the weather. He will better after some good sleep!" 

Sighing in relief you smile in his direction. 

"Well, thank you! You really helped me back there..."

"So what are you gonna do now? Will you accept?"

"I don't think so... It's too intense for me..."

"Sound choice deary!"

"I hope so... Hey that grocery store is still open! Let's get you some apples!" You laugh and run towards the market, the Shinigami rushing excitedly after you.

oh my god anon, honey, i'm so sorry for like what,,,a month delay? i don't even remember. but here's the fic!!! i hope you like it despite the long ass wait. also featuring (married!!) remisa and human!ryuk. just a little tho this is only 500 words.

--------

Easy conversation flowed across the room, clinking of glasses and wide smiles thrown everywhere as the soft instrumental music played in the background. The night was as bright as the bride who giggled so happily with thin glass champagne in her delicate fingers as one of the two men in front of her told his rather ridiculous experience.

But Light on the other hand – while he did enjoy the conversation – felt like something was off. Perhaps he was just tired, or perhaps it was already half past ten and he promised his partner to stay only until nine but as he spotted the said partner staring boredly at the crowd at the corner of the room he knew it was time to leave. And maybe one more cake for L, as an apology. Well, bet he needed that in general already.

So when the slight banter between his two friends died down, he bid them a quite sudden goodbye.

"Are you serious, Light? It's so early!" Misa frowned

"You become boring, Light. You know that?" Said the other, Ryuk. It was meant to be a joke, just as how it quite wasn't. "And whipped, that too."

"No Ryuk, you just become more horrible. But yeah, I'm sorry, Misa. Tell Rem I said goodbye, Ryuzaki too, and congratulations again. Have fun!" He said at last before walking away, smiling at people he knew as he passed through the crowd until he stood in front of the cupcake tower. He picked the one with a cherry on top of it, knowing his lover did love cherries and perhaps that would erase the frown that he could see even from afar. So he approached him. Him and his hunched back and unruly hair he tried to style but failed, him and Light's own suit hanging baggily on his shoulder, him and his wide eyes avoiding Light's to emphasize how annoyed he was.

"Hey there," Light greeted.

"Hey." When he looked back at Light, he beamed, holding the cupcake behind him even though L most likely already knew. "This is exhausting, I'm bored." L continued rather softly.

"I noticed. You're not so subtle, not with me." Then the cupcake was held in front of L's chest, offering it as he spoke again, "In my defense, I haven't seen them for a long time," he shrugged. There was a silent apology, worded by the soft tug of his voice that L understood. They both rarely put their apology into words, but they noticed it clearly.

"Home now?" L asked.

"Absolutely," Light smiled, taking L's hand as they approached the gate, waving at his friends – Ryuk shook his head fondly at him – before they were alone in a dim hallway of the ballroom. That's when Light pulled him closer and kissed the corner of L's lips, only a short peck before they walked side to side.

"But I have to admit, the cakes were nice," L spoke once he finished munching.

"And you look nice in my suit too." Truly, Light Yagami could not hold back his smiles today.

Light x reader (Lemon)

(Y/N) sat in their seat and stared at the board full of writing. It. Made. No. Fucking. Sense. As much as you tried to work out the problems, you still couldn’t get the correct answer. You continued to stare at the board as the professor added new information. “(Y/N)” you heard from your right. It was L, your childhood friend. He would occasionally flirt with you and asked you out whenever he could but you always said no. You had eyes only for Light Yagami. He was the top of the class and he was extremely handsome. Your conversations with him were brief but it was enough to fill you with joy. Although, today, you decided to play along with L’s flirty game “yesss?” You said with a cutesy smile. L ran his finger across his bottom lip before opening his mouth to speak “(Y/N), I’d like to take you on a date..” he said nonchalantly. You chuckled but didn’t answer.

~Time skip~

Before you could leave the classroom to catch up with your friends, the professor called out to you. “Uh...yea?” You said. “Have you had trouble with this topic? Usually you’re one of my best students but now it seems like your focus is somewhere else...you’re failing my class and I’d like to assign a tutor” the professor paused and looked at his name roster “ah yes, Liight Yagami. He will be your tutor.” “U-uh sure!” Was all you could say. You tried to mask your happiness with a small smile and turned to talk out the door. Later that day, you approached Light and asked him for his contact information and address. He smiled and gave it to you. As you walked away he turned to Ryuk and smirks.

~Time skip~

You approached Light’s house and rang the bell. His mother answered with a smile on her face. “Come in, come in! Light is upstairs” she handed you a tray with different foods and snacks “these are for you guys and your little study date~” you smiled and grabbed the tray.

You knocked on Lights door and seconds later, Light opened the door. “Come in (Y/N) , make yourself comfortable” Light said with a sweet smile. You walked into his room and laid your stuff down near his bed along with the tray of snacks. “Light!” Light’d mother called from downstairs. “Excuse me for a second” Light said before exiting the room. You sat on his bed and thought about taking something of his. You wanted something of his that you could keep with you at all times...You then noticed a drawer. You walked up to it and opened it quickly and a smile crept on your face. You grabbed one of his underwear and walked over to stuff it in your backpack. Before you zipped up your bag, you noticed a small piece of paper on the floor. It looked like it was ripped out a book. You picked it up and turned to throw it away. You spotted a trash can next to Light’s desk and threw it away. Once you turned around you were greeted with a creature you had never seen before. You jumped back in fear. You wanted to say something but nothing came out. “Hey would you mind gettin’ that paper? It said. Your silence only annoyed Ryuk.”Oi! You can see me can’t you? Are ya blind?” He exclaimed. “I see you’ve met Ryuk” a voice said. You looked at the door and you saw Light leaning against the door frame. You didn’t even notice him. He walked in and took a seat at his desk. “My mother and younger sister just left for the market so now would be the best time to tell you” you sat with a confused look on your face. Light pulled out a note-book that read ‘death note’ on the cover. “What’s a Death note?” Light smirked and looked you in the eyes “If I write someone’s name in this note-book...they’ll die” you raised your eyebrow and looked at Ryuk “prove it..and do you happen to have a name?” “It’s Ryuk.” Ryuk said before grabbing a pen and looking at you once again “Who shall it be...?” He asked “I want you to kill my father..” you said. He chuckled “call him...” he said. You thought it was a joke but did it anyway. You pulled out your phone and called your fathers contact number. “Hey (Y/N)~ did ya miss me~” your father said in a way that made you wanna vomit. You didn’t respond, instead you watched as Light began to write your fathers name down. Once he finished writing, he closed the note-book and smirked as he waited for your father to die. Soon after, your father stopped talking and instead started to groan in pain. After a while if struggling, you heard a loud thud through the phone. This left you shocked and also amazed. “Well (Y/N) do you believe me now?” Light asked. You smiled ‘finally! That good for nothing pervert is gone!’ You thought to yourself before hanging up the phone and putting it back in your bag. “I do expect some form of payment...I don’t just kill for people for free” he said “with my body...I can pay you with my body.” Light raised his eyebrow at your bold claim “Fine, let’s see how well you do, slut.” You stood up and walked over to where Light was sitting “on your knees, now” he commanded. You complied quickly and got on your knees and rested your hands on his knees. Light slowly unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants. You looked him in his eyes and pulled his boxers. His cock was already hard and it was a lot bigger than anything you’ve ever seen. You took the base of his cock into your hands and guided his tip into your mouth. Your lips circled around it as your tongue grazed the tip. He didn’t like being teased so he pushed your head down further into his cock. His hand had a firm grip on your hair and you bobbed your head. His moans were so sweet and you just wanted more. You went faster until Light pulled you off. “I’m not gonna cum in your mouth, slut. You’re gonna my cock aren’t you?” He said with a chuckle. You nodded your head and his infamous grin appeared in his face once again. You removed your shirt and your pants/skirt. Light stood up and removed his clothing. “All fours, now” he commanded once again. You smiled and proceeded I get on all fours, presenting your hole to Light.

He grabbed your hips with force and alighted himself with your hole. “I’ll have to show you what happens when you flirt with other guys.” Without warning, Light plunged into your hole. “Fuck..you’re so big..” you said with a tight grip on his bed sheets. “Ha, I haven’t even started thrusting yet and you’re already so wet...what a cock hungry whore” Light said before landing another smack on your ass. Light started at a slow pace and then eventually started to speed up. “This is what sluts get!” He exclaimed while pounding into you mercilessly. Your moans got louder each time he thrusted into you. “It feels so good~” you were able to say between moans. “Did I say you could speak?” He questioned. Suddenly, Light stopped thrusting. “W-why did you stop?” You said, still trying to catch your breath. “Beg” he stated. “What do you mean- —“ “I said beg for it slut!” You took his aggression as a warning and mustered yo the courage. Finally, you did “please..fuck me” you said “Louder!” Light’s grip tightening on your hips “Please! Fuck me Light!” You said. Light thrusted painfully slow, “f-faster” you said letting out a breathy moan. Light picked up the pace again and you could hear him laughing “such a slut for my cock.” Light grunted loudly and tightened his grip once more. “I’m gonna cum!” You spat out. Second after, you came onLight’s cock. “I’m not done” Light said sternly. After a few more thrust, Light finally came. You both fell onto his bed and fell asleep soon after. After this little study date, Light continued to use the death note for more than one thing~

The Capture of Ryuk

Monday Morning:

A regular day for 15-year-old Ryuk in 1980, in Westville, he was serving at the bakery, Charlotte’s Home Sweets.

“Come on Ryuk! Business is coming low!” Mrs. Charlotte hollered from the front door of the bakery,

“Yes, Mrs. Charlotte!” Ryuk replies as he brushes off the sweat from his forehead. Legend says Mrs. Charlotte has been running the bakery since WW2, and she doesn’t even seem that old. Although her mood has never changed, you see Mrs. Charlotte’s husband was fighting WW2 but died in Hawaii when Mrs. And Mr. Charlotte were on vacation, she managed to escape, but Mr. Charlotte was right on the scene, and Mr. Charlotte died. But Mrs. Charlotte heard something strange in that scene, Mr. Charlotte’s last words were, “Aliens are here..” and aliens were of course make-believe in the WW2 occurred, so no one genuinely believed in aliens.

“Hi, Mr. Buck, what would you like to order?” Ryuk questions, as he has a coffee in one hand cinnamon rolls in another,

“Oh come on Ryuk! You know I love the regular!” Mr. Buck exclaimed as he pointed his smoking pipe to Ryuk. Mr. Buck’s smoking pipe was from his great grandfather.

“You know where this pipe came from?” Mr. Buck asked,

“N-no sir,” Ryuk stammered,

“A day in West Virginia, My great Grandad, was on his carriage with his two white horses, Philly and Emilly, he was having a normal day going to his work when he heeded something very glistening, he deemed it was a bird with a fragment of glass, but a tobacco pipe came falling’ from the sky, he called it the ‘holy pipe’”.

“Wow I didn’t know that, but could that glistening thing be aliens?” Ryuk questioned,

“No son, there is nothing such as aliens.” Mr. Buck frowned, gave him the money, and left the shop. Later that night, Ryuk came home and started arranging dinner, he seized out two eggs and started boiling them. Ryuk thought more profoundly about what could have been the glistening object in the sky, Ryuk smelt some burnt smells and black dust coating the kitchen, he instantly lowered the heat and poured the burnt egg on a plate, and threw himself on the sofa going into a deep sleep.

Tuesday 7:30 am:

“Knock! Knock! Ryuk! Are you there?!” The newspaper yelled. Ryuk heard some mumbling sounds, and then quickly got up and brushed his eye with his quite red fingers, and opened the door,

“Yes?” He squeaked tiredly,

“Newspaper!” The guy said, Ryuk took the newspaper from him, and locked the door with his lavish strength, he opened a window and then launched the newspaper outside.

8:45 am:

Ryuk locked his door and headed outside, to the bakery, to start his very hard-working job. Ryuk lost both his parents at the age of 5 months, he never really knew what happened to them.

“Oh good! Start by cleaning the dishes!” Mrs. Charlotte said in a somewhat polite way,

“Yes, Mam!” Ryuk answered with very little enthusiasm.

5:30 pm:

It was the end of the shift and Ryuk was heading home to go to bed.

“Hey look, it’s the kid who works at the bakery, what a poor idiot!” Easton giggled with his 2 other friends,

“Leave me alone,” Ryuk sighs and said in a very tired way,

“Oh is that so? Do you want some money, so you can have a bed?” Easton assured. Ryuk ignores them and starts heading home-

“Look, the orphan bakery nerd is running home!!!” Easton and his other mates laughed quite hard. That’s when Ryuk lost his mind took out his right arm and punched Easton in the right eye,

“Oww!! Fight that loser!” Easton said looking like he declared war, one of Easton’s friends tried to kick him but Ryuk grasped his leg and slammed him on the terrain. His other friend started to sneak behind him and strangled him. Ryuk was trying to get his muscular hands off his throat, and that’s when Easton spotted a rock and thrust it as hard as he could on Ryuk’s face, Ryuk went all black.

Wednesday 9:45 am:

“Honey, are you ok?!” A lady asked,

“Oh yeah, I am ok,” Ryuk guesses, as he sees dark blood on the ground and then touches his face,

“Honey, I think you should be at the hospital!” The lady said with fright,

“No, I am okay,” Ryuk smiles and runs to the bakery. As he was running one thing on his mind was, ‘are aliens real?’

“Oh my!! What happened?!?” Mrs. Charlotte asked, hoping for a long answer,

“I fell, there is nothing to worry about,” Ryuk said with a fake smile,

“Come to the kitchen!” Mrs. Charlotte demanded,

“I am serious, nothing happened!” Ryuk said with determination,

“Did those three hooligans beat you up again?” Mrs. Charlotte questions, as she gets the medkit out,

“Yeah,” Ryuk mumbles, Easton’s father was the richest in the town, he owned all the bakeries, Easton also went to school but Ryuk didn’t because he couldn’t afford it,

“I will tell you what, you can take some rest for this shift, and I will give you some money to go get some ice cream,” Mrs. Charlotte smiles, and puts the bandage beneath his left eye,

“Are you sure?” Ryuk asked, Mrs. Charlotte, nodded.

10:10 am:

Ryuk was at the library licking his ice cream and started playing alien games. There was a spaceship, and it would suck up many people from the beach. The game was indeed dull, to be truthful, but Ryuk was so interested that he never got bored, he played it on for hours and hours until it was lunch. Ryuk yawned and stretched his arms and legs and went to eat lunch. He loved eating lunch at McDonald’s, the cheapest restaurant in town but had the best tasting food.

Moments later:

“McDonald’s! What would you like to order Ryuk?” Mrs. Tucker asked, with a very pleasant smile as if she got a promotion,

“The Big Mac, thank you!” Ryuk said with the least excitement,

“That will be $3.15!” Mrs. Tucker said, Ryuk looked at his money and he had three dollars and twenty cents left, he gave 3 one-dollar bills, and 3 nickels. Mrs. Tucker’s regular consumer was Ryuk. Ryuk munched the big mac as if he was the hungriest person on Earth, he thought in his head are aliens even present? Would aliens take over the world? Is Mr. Buck’s smoking pipe from the aliens? And what does Mr. Charlotte’s last word supposed to even mean? All these thoughts were circling Ryuk’s head.

“Hey, Ryuk, are you ok?” Mrs. Tucker asserts,

“Yeah kind of,” Ryuk confirms,

“You look like you are in deep thought,” Mrs. Tucker said with concern, Ryuk takes a deep breath,

“I know you might think this is a stupid question but are aliens real?” Ryuk replies, with very limited expectation, for Mrs. Tucker to not say he’s stupid,

“My big brother was a Xenoarchaeologist, in Hawaii, while he was doing an experiment he passed away,” Mrs. Tucker cries,

“I am so sorry,” Ryuk stated,

“Before my brother’s death, he gave me this artifact which has a different language written on it and he said to return it to them,” Mrs. Tucker said with misery,

“It must mean that it’s from the aliens, right?” Ryuk asked,

“Yes, at least I think so,” Mrs. Tucker,

“I need to go, Mrs. Tucker, bye!” Ryuk conveys,

“Bye!” Mrs. Tucker responds with her half crying voice.

Thursday 9:00 am:

Ryuk was walking down the road until he saw multiple posters that say, ‘Your chance to go to Hawaii, state why you want to and can be the winner on August 5th in city hall at 2:45 pm’. This was Ryuk’s only chance to know what Mr. Charlotte’s last words meant.

Two months later:

It was Wednesday, 2:00 pm, Ryuk got in his best clothes, ate some bacon and eggs, and entered outside, but that’s when he ran into someone,

“Look who it is! The nerd of baking, I heard he is studying about aliens,” Easton giggles, and then the 3 of them start to laugh,

“I am studying about aliens, and they are just a different type of species,” Ryuk whispers putting his head,

“Oh is that right! This loser thinks aliens are real,” Easton blabbers,

“It is, you see I was playing this game in the library-” Ryuk said,

“I don’t CARE! Look, just stay out of my way, I am going to Hawaii and you are going to be a poor loser working in that bakery!” Easton yells,

“You have all that money and you can’t go to Hawaii?” Ryuk questions,

“Look, my dad thinks I have to earn money myself, and then spend it to go to Hawaii,” Easton said in a way that sounds like his dad is a villain. Ryuk nods and just heads to the city hall, but the city hall was very far away, about 30 mins, and Ryuk couldn’t walk 10 miles, he already wasted a good amount of time talking to Easton, he had to take the cab.

“Ryuk!! Are you going to the city hall?” A man said from a far distance approaches Ryuk with a taxi,

“MR. BUCK!! You saved my life, I was wondering how I would get to the city center, Thank you so much!” Ryuk answers with a large smile,

“No problem, always happy to help!” Mr. Buck replies. Ryuk opens the yellow smooth taxi door and gets in the cab, the seats were a printed design of circles and triangles.

2:40 pm:

Ryuk and Mr. Buck get out of the car and enter the City hall, there were rows of seats filled withs crowds of people, the soothing opera music made people dance around the massive building. Mr. Buck and Ryuk got the front row seats, everyone there looked like they wanted to go to Hawaii.

“Hello everyone! I am Atticus Wilson, which all of you probably know, and today we’re going to have participants give reasonable answers on why they want to go to Hawaii!” As Mr. Wilson states, the whole crowd cheers. Many participants go by until it was Easton’s turn,

“Easton!” Mr. Wilson yells,

“Coming Dad!” Easton replies,

“Okay,” Mr. Wilon responds, Easton sprints to the stairs and goes to the middle of the stage,

“I want to go to Hawaii because I want to enjoy life!” Easton assures.

“Next participant, Ryuk!” Mr. Wilson hollers,

“Oh LOOK it’s the loser!” Easton said as he runs down the stairs, Ryuk goes to the middle of the stage,

“I want to go to Hawaii, because of my love and interest in aliens, either mythical or true living species. I want to go and discover it by myself. I also want to know what Mr. Charlotte meant when saying his last words!” Ryuk said with a proud smile. The crowd starts clapping.

“Okay, that’s enough! The winner of-” Mr. Wilson doesn’t complete the sentence, but Easton runs to the stairs, knowing he would win,

“What the heck are you doing?!” Mr. Wilson said with a concerned face,

“Oh, I was just coming up here because I won!” Easton said proudly. The whole crowd seemed blank. Mr. Wilson quickly ignores,

“Sorry about that, the winner of this competition is Ryuk! Please come to the stage,” Mr. Wilson said with a smile. The crowd starts applauding,

“What?! THE LOSER BAKING NERD WON?!” Easton screams,

“Easton! YOU DO NOT call people that?!” Mr. Wilson yells back. Ryuk runs to the stage and goes to the middle.

“I loved your reason! Which is why I chose you as the winner!” Mr. Wilson said,

“But WHY?!” Easton hollers,

“Let me tell you why, when I was your age I also worked at the bakery, I did not have a rich dad,” Mr. Eastons said, the crowd gasps and so does Easton and Ryuk,

“So you were also a loser like Ryuk?!” Easton asked,

“No, and Ryuk is not a loser, I loved mythical creatures especially the Loch Ness Monster! And the mayor at my time had a contest to go to Scotland, I won and I went to Scotland to research the Loch Ness monster, and I saw this passion inside of Ryuk so that’s why I chose him!” Mr. WIlson confirms. Mr. Wilson gives the ticket to Ryuk,

“Thank you so much!” Ryuk said respectfully, Mr. Wilson smiles and nods.

4:00 pm:

“Well Ryuk, when is the flight?” Mrs. Charlotte asked,

“Its next week Monday,” Ryuk said with panic,

“I will tell you what you can have this whole week, off you’ve never been on an airplane, so get mentally prepared and do go pack your luggage,” Mrs. Charlotte smiles and pats Ryuk’s back,

“Thank you!” Ryuk said happily and walked away. As Ryuk was walking down the road he bumped into someone-

“Oh, I am so sorry!” Ryuk said with dismay

“Oh it's alright, wait you’re the winner from the City Hall today,” The girl who is 1 inch shorter than Ryuk and has freckles,

“Uhh yeah, who are you though?” Ryuk questions,

“I am Crystal! Nice to meet you!! You know there are two seats, so I was wondering if I could come?” Crystal said with cute dog eyes, her eyes were blue and her hair was golden,

“Wait, yeah um it does say two seats, so we just met, um,” Ryuk tries to deny but doesn’t know what’s the right choice,

“Oh yeah, I know we just met but come on!!!!! Please???” Crystal tries very hard to convince Ryuk,

“The flights on Monday, 6:45 am, sharp!” Ryuk with serious,

“Ok, I will come to pick you up with a cab, at 5:30 am,” Crystal said,

“Ok I will be ready by then, and my streets in Coronado drive 1142, my name is Ryuk,” Ryuk said with a happy smile,

“Bye! See you on Monday!” Crystal said with a superb amount of enthusiasm,

“Yup!” Ryuk replies.

Monday 5:20 am:

Ryuk got up from his bed, brushed his teeth, he was very sleepy, his eyelids were almost pouring like a liquid to his face, but that’s when he remembered what cartoons do when they are sleepy; he went to his kitchen, and opened one of the cabinets, he took out the toothpicks, and placed from his eyelid, to beneath his eye. His eye still had a scar when Easton threw the rock, but his pain was gone. Ryuk yawned, and poured some milk in his red transparent glass, he drank the milk as if it was his last meal, he took a banana and started munching on that too.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!” Ryuk ran to the door and opened it,

“Hi! The cab came a little earlier than planned,” Crystal said, with very little excitement,

“Oh ok! I am going to get the suitcase,” Ryuk said,

“Ok!” Crystal replies. Ryuk goes straight into a dark hallway and returns with a pleasant smile and a suitcase in his hand. Ryuk takes the red and ripped suitcase and places it in the trunk of the cab.

“All set!” Crystal announces,

“Yup!” Ryuk said as he was locking the door. He slides in the car, and closes the door,

“I am 13, and I am studying about alien stuff,” Crystal said,

“Oh, aliens are cool, but I am going to Hawaii, so I can solve a mystery,” Ryuk replies. Crystal nods and they both get comfortable to lay back.

6:00 am:

Crystal and Ryuk reach the airport, it was the biggest thing Ryuk had ever seen in his life,

“This is humongous, we’re gonna get lost in it,” Ryuk said with fright,

“Don’t worry silly, we won’t get lost, just look at the gate number,” Crystal remarks,

“27A,” Ryuk said with confusion,

“Oh ok! That means it must be this way,” Crystal points as she states. After following Crystal for a few moments, they ran into an elevator,

“We’re gonna need to use this,” Crystal said with excitement. They both go inside and Crystal presses a button, they go up, and they see a very large line, Crystal, walks straight into that line, and Ryuk follows her behind.

“Wait, why are we here?” Ryuk asked,

“Check-in line,” Crystal replies quickly. Crystal looked like she was very rich, all her cosmetics, made her look like her father worked for the president, even her suitcase,

“Ok!” Ryuk, blinks, and then Crystal was gone

“Crystal???!!” Ryuk yells, then a parade of people comes shoving him,

“Watch it, kid!!” A guy roars,

“Sorry,” Ryuk whimpers. And then he saw his luggage gone, he saw a man with a black cap, with his luggage running,

“HEY! Give it back!” Ryuk yells, with all his voice. He sprints, as swift as he can, and slams many people,

“Hey oww!” A woman shrieks,

“What a hooligan!” Another woman hollers. Ryuk saw a bike and hopped onto it. He chases the man for a few moments, until the man trips, and runs away,

“Finally!” Ryuk pants,

“You dummy, where were you?! I hate running you can get in trouble, in the airport realize?!” Crystal said, with terror,

“Sorry! Long story short, some guy stole my suitcase,” Ryuk said,

“I guess at least we’re not late,”

“Why don’t like you like running?” Ryuk asked,

“My mother died by running by running,” Crystal whispered,

“Ok, let’s do the check-in,” Crystal said with disbelief. Crystal approaches the women’s side, and Ryuk to the men’s side.

“Do you have any electronic devices son?” The officer asked with his shades on,

“No,” Ryuk confirms,

“Any jewelry? Liquid? Weapon? Sharp stuff? Or batteries,” The officer pulls, his shades down, and looks at Ryuk’s eye,

“No sir!” Ryuk said with confidence,

“Ok your good son, now I want you to stand like a tree, with your arms stretched,” Officer demands,

“Ok,” Ryuk replies. The officer gets an electronic gadget and touches Ryuk with it all over his body,

“You all good, son, now take your luggage and you can go,” The officer smiles, Ryuk goes straight and takes his luggage, and waits for Crystal.

“Ok so it’s 6:30, just 15 mins, before the flight, so we will go to gate 27A, and board there,” Crystal remarks. Ryuk nods as if he understood everything, which he didn’t.

A few moments later:

“Boarding flight, please come to the boarding station!” The lady on the speaker announced. The whole crowd, including Crystal and Ryuk, rushed and formed a line.

“Next person,” The Karen lady said impatiently,

“Hi! This is our ticket,” Crystal affirms, and hands the ticket to the lady,

“All set you can go!” The lady said Crystal and Ryuk enter a long hallway made out of the grey, rough carpet. Ryuk pulled his red suitcase with max strength because the suitcase was getting stuck on the carpet.

“Hi, this is Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 737, welcome in!” The kind flight attendant said, Crystal nodded and went inside the airplane.

“Who was that?” Ryuk whispers with a frown,

“The flight attendant, the person who cleans and makes the food of the airplane,” Crystal replies back.

“Seat 31C and 30B,” Ryuk announces,

“I will sit in 30B, and you can sit in 31C,” Crystal said. They walk until find 30,

“Ok you are right behind, and you get the window seat,” Crystal said as she lifted her suitcase, and put it on the top compartment, Ryuk did the same thing. Ryuk slides in his seat, and he sees an old woman coming in his direction.

“Hi, honey! Is this sit 31B?” The old lady asked,

“Y-yes, mam!” Ryuk stutters,

“Oh, goodie!” The old lady smiles. The lady gets slides in the middle seat. Then when Ryuk saw something glistening in the sky it might have been the sun, but it was moving.

“This is captain Bill, we will be taking off now, please put on your seat belts,” The radio announces. Ryuk puts his seatbelts on and prays that this will be very safe. The engine starts to rev, and then the airplane goes into its top-tier speed and Ryuk closes his eyes.

A few hours later:

The flight attendant had given his food, and Ryuk started to open it, it was beef tacos, he munched on it as quickly as possible so he fell asleep again, but he had swallowed it too, so he was probably not going to go to sleep again. Once Ryuk wakes up he cannot go back to sleep.

“Honey do you want a cookie, I baked it for my grandson,” The old lady said with kindness, and offers Ryuk a cookie,

“Thank you!” Ryuk said as he took one. He munched on the cookie, it was chocolate and strawberry, two of Ryuk’s favorite flavors. As Ryuk ate them, he thought that this lady must have had a very good experience baking cookies.

“This is awesome,” Ryuk said with astonishment,

“Well back in my day we used to have a lot of bakeries, and I used to work in one, my boss, taught me how to make the best cookies,” The old lady informs,

“Oh! That makes sense!” Ryuk confirms. Ryuk gets comfortable and closes his eyes.

“We have a slight problem, but there is nothing to worry about, stay cautious we might run into turbulence,” The captain remarked. Ryuk was afraid that they would crash or something, but it probably wasn’t going to happen. Ryuk got up from his seat and headed to the restroom. He opened the door and went in. There were no lights in it so he didn’t lock the door.

“We have a bigger problem, there is something in the sky that is visible, we are still trying to figure out what it is!” The captain yelled. Ryuk got out of the bathroom and sprinted to his seat. He puts on his seatbelt and starts to pray. Then he saw something very flashy, it came in quick, and it broke one of the wings of the plane, which exploded. He went black and then he heard the radio on the plane,

“MAYDAY! MAYDAY! BRACE FOR IMPACT!” The captain screamed, Ryuk looked out the window, he saw the plane going super fast into the water.

“Ryuk?!” Crystal screamed,

“Is this heaven?” Ryuk replied,

“NO! You are alive!” Crystal said with concern,

“It’s a miracle?” Ryuk said as he got up. He saw his hand bleeding wildly. Ryuk got up, and he looked at the island, it wasn’t big but it wasn’t small either,

“How are we supposed to get out of here?” Ryuk asked,

“I don’t know, maybe a boat or an airplane will come?” Crystal said with uncertainty.

“We have to survive here somehow, well first I am going to take some rest, I need to take all of this in,” Ryuk said while wiping his forehead. Crystal nods,

“I am going to check out the other side, to see if there are any other survivors,” Crystal declared. Ryuk lays down in the sand and closes his eyes.

A Few hours later:

Ryuk wakes up from the sound of the waves, he sees Crystal stargazing at the sky.

“Are there any survivors?” Ryuk questions,

“No, just us,” Crystal replies,

“What about food, will it last us days?” Ryuk asked with a positive attitude,

“Just 2 days,” Crystal replies,

“We’re kinda doomed,” Ryuk said tiredly. Ryuk goes to a large coconut tree and sees a big leaf on the ground, he takes the leaf and wraps it around his hand, and goes to bed.

Morning:

Ryuk yawns and gets up. He sees Crystal circling the trees in deep thought,

“We need to build a shelter, so we can be protected from the weather, there is a high chance of a storm coming in,” Crystal announced to Ryuk,

“Yeah! You're right, but we also need the materials. We can make the shelter out of bamboo,” Ryuk said,

“Your right I am going to go check if there are any materials that are floating in the ocean,” Crystal informs,

“Oh ok! Then I will look at the materials on the island,” Ryuk declared back. Crystal dives into the ocean and goes at full speed. Ryuk sees a ton of big leaves on the ground, and he got a good idea. He took one of the leaves and put sand in it. He also broke the leaf and a sticky goop came out, he put it in the leaves and wrapped it, this was his idea of a pillow. So he made two of these, for a pillow. Ryuk found big rocks. This can be a good idea to write something on the ground or protect from the weather. As Ryuk was done with it, he waited until Crystal came back.

“I am back, I got some supplies!” Crystal said with excitement,

“Nice!” Ryuk replies,

“I found a hatchet, some wet blankets, lots of pretzels and peanut packs, and lastly, a big shield, well not exactly a big shield, its the door to the airplane,” Crystal said happily

“Well, the hatchet will be very useful!” Ryuk decides,

“We can cut down the coconut tree and use the wood from it,” Crystal suggests,

“Yeah, I was thinking that too,” Ryuk said. Ryuk takes the hatchet and gives all his force at the coconut tree, but it didn’t do a dent,

“The problem is it would take a million tries, by that time it will be dull,” Crystal remarks,

“Your right but we’re gonna have to keep trying until we have successfully done it,” Ryuk said with confidence and keeps swinging,

“I got an idea!!” Crystal face glows up,

“What is it” Ryuk questions,

“Is there any rope,” Crystal asked,

goes fast, doing a lot of damage to the tree

“Yeah!” Ryuk said. Ryuk gave the rope to her, and Crystal tied it between two other trees, she took the hatchet and pulled it with rope like a catapult. The hatchet flew onto the tree, making a lot of marks on the tree. Ryuk and Crystal tried it over and over until they were exhausted,

“This might take us forever, and I am really hungry,” Crystal said with tiredness,

“Me too, we need to find food, I saw a bus with berries earlier, let’s eat the berries,” Ryuk said as he pointed in a direction. Crystal follows Ryuk until they reach a big thorny berry bush.

“Wow, that’s a lot of blueberries!” Crystal jumps in excitement

“Those aren’t blueberries, they are huckleberries,” Ryuk consults. When Ryuk was 8, he used to live with his uncles, until they died from a tragic accident, before that accident he used to go on the boy scouts team. From there he learned all about berries, now he practically could identify any berry in the world.

“I see!” Crystal said as she pulled one from the bush. She tastes it and makes a sour face,

“They are very sour, I guess we have to stick to the food that remains,” Ryuk said hopelessly. Crystal pulls out a bag and sees all kinds of food there. He first started eating the pretzels, they were very salty, he saw the old lady’s cookies and started thinking whether he was the chosen one to live. He saw Crystal devouring the cookies one by one.

“I am full Ryuk!” Ryuk declared,

“Me too,” Crystal replies while rubbing her stomach. They get the hatchet and start cutting the tree again.

“BANG!” The tree falls after numerous amount of tries,

“Finally!!” Ryuk yells and brushes the perspiration off his forehead. Ryuk chops the tree into pieces and uses some of the pieces to make a bed and the other to construct the shelter. He takes the rope, bamboo, and coconut tree pieces and ties them together to make a whole shed.

“Great we made a shed, to protect us from rainy weathers,” Ryuk said proudly,

“Ok now we got a place to sleep tonight, we’re gonna need blankets because it’s gonna start getting cold,” Crystal exclaimed,

“No problem we got these large leaves, we can use this as a blanket,” Ryuk replies,

“Yeah, that’ll work!” Crystal gives a quick response and smiles. It was the evening, Ryuk and Crystal started circling the island.

“There’s a lot of rocks, we can form a word from using these rocks, like ‘HELP’” Ryuk articulates,

“That’s a fantastic idea,” Crystal said with joy. Both of them take huge rocks and form the letters h, e, l, and p.

“Let’s hope someone can see this!” Crystal exclaimed. Ryuk nods and heads on to the food basket,

“There are 6 meals, it will help us for today’s dinner and tomorrow’s lunch and dinner combined,” Crystal declared,

“Oh that means, after that, we need to make our food,” Ryuk said with dismay. Crystal nods and walks away.

“What do you think the time is?” Ryuk questions, Crystal stops midway,

“Probably 7 pm or 6:30 pm,” Crystal said with uncertainty,

“Well then let’s have supper!” Ryuk exclaimed,

“I am not that hungry, you can eat,” Crystal remarked,

“Okay I guess, Ryuk said. He opens the transparent box and sees two cold tacos, he eats them like he never ate in his life. Ryuk finishes quickly and goes to the shelter,

“You sure you don’t want to eat? The food will get col-” Ryuk doesn’t finish his sentence when Crystal interrupts,

“THE FOODS NOT GONNA GET COLD OKAY? Look I JUST CAN’T TAKE ANY OF THIS!!” Crystal screams as she walks away. Ryuk goes to his bunk, lays down, and goes to sleep.

“Ahhh What a beautiful day,” Ryuk says as he stretches his arm and gets up from his hard bed. Sleeping that night was horrible, the bed was so hard Ryuk had a backache in the middle of the night. Ryuk looked beside and saw Crystal’s bed with a huge leaf on it. Crystal probably used that as a blanket.

“Look I am sorry about last night I just couldn’t believe it! Can you please forgive me?” Crystal asked,

“Yeah, sure!” Ryuk said politely when he steps on something smooth but hard, Ryuk looks down and sees a turtle,

“Ahhhh!” Ryuk yells,

“Silly it’s just a turtle!” Crystal laughed,

“Can we keep him?” Ryuk asked,

“Am I your mom? Yeah, we can keep him,” Crystal said with thrill,

“Let’s name him Roca,” Ryuk declared,

“Sure I guess, as long as she’s fine with it,” Crystal says with a pleasant smile. Ryuk can have Crystal play with Roca the whole day.

Another day passed, like nothing, and Roca was gone from his sandpit. Ryuk yawns,

“Where’s Roca?” Ryuk asked with solicitude. Crystal wakes up in an instant,

“Maybe he went for a walk or a swim?” Crystal guessed,

“Probably,” Ryuk remarked. Ryuk stared at Roca’s pit for a minute and went to the side of the island, there wasn’t any way they could brush their teeth, so Ryuk and Crystal used the salty water to rub it against their teeth. You might be also wondering by now, how are they drinking water? They are using the salty one till now.

“We can’t stick with the salty water, it’s toxic and it’s not like the salt is going away from our body,” Crystal declared,

“Your right,” Ryuk responded while wondering what can be another solution,

“How many coconuts are there?” Crystal asked,

“From the tree, we cut down, um a solid 50,” Ryuk said,

“Well, that’s awesome! That’s more than enough for us to last about 25 days,” Crystal yelped,

“Well, I think we should start by cutting the coconuts!” Ryuk exclaimed. He took the dull hatchet and kept on slicing the coconut with his one hand until it broke.

“Crack!” The coconut cracked,

“Okay I got one cracked, I need to do another,” Ryuk remarked,

“You can just do this instead,” Crystal said, as she placed the hatchet straight and then started banging the coconut on the hatchet,

“Crack!” The coconut cracked,

“See this took way less time,” Crystal discloses. Both of them start munching on the copra and then drinking the coconut water.

“Good breakfast!” Ryuk exclaimed. Ryuk took the last of his remaining rope, a long stick, and sharp rock, and combined it to make a spear.

“Now this can be good to catch fish!” Ryuk said as if he invented something new. Happiness wasn’t a critical mood in this situation, it is hope, belief, and determination. Ryuk’s clothes were all ripped and his hand was still healing. They knew that they were hopeless, but most importantly they had belief in themselves and each other. Ryuk ran to the ocean with his spear in one hand, after several tries he caught a fish,

“I CAUGHT ONE!” Ryuk yelled in astonishment,

“Just one?” Crystal said,

“Well, they are really fast,” Ryuk remarked,

“I am going to make a fire so we can cook the fish,” Crystal said,

“Okay I will try to catch more fish then,” Ryuk replied. Crystal finds a lot of extra wood from the other day and finds flint rocks and a little bit of steel from her pocket, it must have been the metal necklace she had been carrying, she rubbed the flint and the little bit of steel together for a pretty long time until the fire came out she placed it on the wood,

“I made a fire!!!” Crystal said,

“Nice, I am trying to find more fish,” Ryuk announces. As Ryuk goes back to the ocean he sees Roca with two large fish in her mouth,

“Roca got us fish!” Ryuk exclaimed,

“Thanks, Roca, we’ll cook one for you too!” Crystal affirmed. Crystal took the two fish from Roca’s mouth, she took two sticks and put them inside the fish.

“Now we can roast it over the fire like they’re a marshmallow,” Crystal exclaimed with happiness as if she got what she wanted for her birthday. Ryuk got his large leaves as a plate. After a long time, the fish was done, Crystal gave one fish to Ryuk, one to Roca, and one for herself.

“Roca's, it's really hot, so be careful!” Crystal said as if she was Roca’s mom. Roca did not listen to a single word to what Crystal said and she started munching like she never ate before,

“It needs a lot of things,” Ryuk affirmed,

“Yeah it does, but we don’t have any of the ingredients,” Crystal said hopelessly,

“One of the most important things that we need is a taste to this fish, maybe we should put some berries there,” Ryuk conveyed,

“We can, but the berries have a horrible taste,” Crystal affirmed,

“We can try it right?” Ryuk responded,

“Fine, we can try it at dinner, but if anything goes wrong it’s all your fault,” Crystal acknowledges.

Eight hours later or 9 pm:

Crystal went to the berry bush and plucked out 10 berries, This is not the best idea Crystal thought inside her head. Crystal loved reading, in school people called book addicts, and that’s why she can go deep in pretty much anything you can think of. Crystal walks over to the fire and starts setting the fish up.

“Hey on the bright side we get to experiment with things!” Ryuk exclaimed,

“I am not giving the ‘tasted’ to fish Roca,” Crystal replied,

“Fine,” Ryuk remarked, Ryuk walked away and went to the other side island, so he can gather leaves to make a plate, he plucked leaves off the tree, then he turned around saw Crystal,

“H-ow?! Did you come here so fast?” Ryuk stuttered with confusion,

“I used to run in my school, you know, like cross country and track and field,” Crystal said nervously. Ryuk nodded and walked away, Ryuk knew something was up. That day when he won the prize several people came to Ryuk as if he was a king and he can grant any wish, be he still doesn’t know why he chose Crystal.

“Ryuk food is ready!” Crystal chanted,

“I am coming,” Ryuk sprinted to the fire.

PART 2 WILL BE COMING SOON!

PART 2: “Okay let’s see how the fish tastes,” Crystal remarked. Ryuk took a huge bite of the fish and closed his eyes,

“This IS awesome!!” Ryuk replied,

“Seriously,” Crystal said as she takes a bite of the fish. Crystal was super surprised that the fish was going to taste that good.

“See I told you,” Ryuk smirked. Ryuk looked at the sky and saw something shiny,

“Do you see that?” Ryuk asked,

“See what?” Crystal back,

“This weird shiny object, probably a shooting sta-” Ryuk didn’t finish the sentence,

“We need to go, immediately!” Crystal bellowed. Crystal and Ryuk went behind a boulder, the “shooting star” was gone. Ryuk got up,

“It’s probably just a shiny, nothing to worry abo-” Ryuk doesn’t finish, and a huge piece of metal lands on the fire. Crystal pulls Ryuk behind the boulder. Then suddenly Ryuk remembers, what he saw in that flight,

“It might be aliens,” Ryuk said in uncertainty,

“You silly! It’s no time to joke around, I study about it, but science has shown that it isn’t real!” Crystal said with an annoying accent.

“BRFFF!” A deafening sound hits Ryuk’s ear hits.

“RYUK! WAKE UP!!” Crystal screamed into Ryuk’s ear. Ryuk got up started walking and then fell on the sand flat on his face.

“I am okay!” Ryuk confirms as he does a thumbs up,

Morning:

Ryuk yawned and woke up from his sand, which was very uncomfortable, probably the reason he had his backache. Ryuk brushes his with his sharp fingers and goes to the water. He takes a whole handful of water and throws it at his face.

“What the-” Ryuk exclaims, as he turns around. He saw a circular object with a bubble type on top,

“What is this?” Ryuk asks,

“I stayed up all night, you were sleeping this just floated from the beach,” Crystal said. She looked all fresh and kind of absurd.

“Could have been from the flight?” Ryuk questions,

“It isn’t when it hit the flight it was very much stable,” Crystal replies,

“Are we gonna try to on it?” Ryuk suggested,

“Just press this switch, and I think it turns on,” Crystal said with doubt,

“Okay, first we must be ready,” Ryuk said,

“We’re ready,” Crystal said in rush. Crystal pressed that big red button in heavy uncertainty, if the switch didn’t work she looked like would drown in a sea of grief. The bubble-type lid opened, and you could enter, both of them jumped in, and in a flash they teleported.

“Where are we?!” Ryuk panicked,

“Somewhere…” Crystal confirmed. They were surrounded by purple walls and two vents.

“Let’s go through the vents and see which one leads to what,” Ryuk remarked. Crystal nodded and pointed to the vent she wanted to go to,

“Let’s go through this one,” Crystal said as she pointed,

Both of them go through the vent for a long time, and then they heard some heavy whisperings, it was an unknown language for Ryuk. Ryuk deeply thought inside his head, it must have been aliens, as he was thinking “DHAM!”, Ryuk slammed on the ground with Crystal,

“AHHHH!” Ryuk screamed in fear,

“How did humans come here,” The unknown being object said, the voice sounded like a robot,

“We have stumbled upon your place, we are truly sorry, please mercy us,” Crystal said with a weak voice,

“Our leader will decide,” The being remarked. Then the alien said a secret code, where a really short person who looked two million years old pondered in,

“Cr-yst-al?!” The old man yelled,

“Dad!” Crystal remarked. Ryuk was dead confused,

“W-hat?” Ryuk stuttered. The old man led Crystal and Ryuk to a big room.

“You see this is my daughter, she actually a million-year-old, but she was born with three superpowers, one: she can time travel, this was a family gene we all could do it, and so was immortality which she also has, two: make herself look young, and lastly three: she can run really fast,” The old man said as he ran out of breath,

“Oh, so that explains everything!” Ryuk said with sweat dripping down his head.

“But there’s is a problem, a long time ago an emperor had two puzzle pieces that were very valuable, but he lost one of them, they were important because they make the alien city function, but one day a robber stole one of the pieces, which was never found again. And now we only have one more piece but we can’t seem to find it at all. People say that Xenoarchaelogist found it but he died afterward,” The old man spoke with all his energy,

“Wait you mean this?” Ryuk asks, as he looks in his pockets, and pulls out a black piece of plastic material and a purple light glowing on it,

“This? The light didn’t glow before,” Ryuk said,

“Oh my yes!!! This is the piece thank you so much, it glows, as you start getting closer and closer to the place,” The old man shined like a light bulb. The old man took the piece from Ryuk and he put it into a machine, which started getting brighter and brighter, and Ryuk woke up on the sand. All alone.

“Crystal?! Hello anyone?!” Ryuk panicked, as he saw a motorboat coming near him, he saw a group of men coming,

“Hola! Buenos dias, Como estas?” The man said in concern,

“I no comprehend Espanol,” Ryuk replied,

“Oh ok, where do you live,”

“I live in Westville, North America,” Ryuk said in a panic, thinking that they won’t understand,

“Okay, how long have been here? Have any family? Anyone else here?” The man asked,

“What’s the date? And no family and no one else is here” Ryuk asked as he thought about Crystal and where she disappeared,

“August 31st,” The man replied,

“21 days,” Ryuk said in disbelief.

“Okay, I need to take you to the nearest airport,” The man said, they both jumped on the boat and left the lonely island.

Two months later:

“Hi, Mrs. Charlotte long time no see,” Ryuk exclaimed,

“Oh my hello, how was your journey?” Mrs. Charlotte asked,

“Fantastic!” Ryuk replied,

“You know a girl named Crystal, she came to visit and see if you were there,” Mrs. Charlotte said as she was mopping the floor,

“Yes, do you know where she went,” Ryuk questioned in astonishment,

“Yes, she said something about meeting her on a specific island in Puerto Rico,” Mrs. Charlotte replied. Ryuk nodded and thought what will happen next is the question.

Marinette and her Dragon

I think I’ve dropped a couple of teasers about this story along with one other, however, this one came easier to me so it gets posted first!  This is a one shot and is open ended as I suck at writing definate endings so Enjoy! 

Story:

It was a normal Saturday morning in the bakery when Marinette first met Tōshirō Hitsugaya. He had come in looking for watermelon flavoured treats and had been slightly disappointed when she told him that they didn't have any in stock. In truth, they had never made anything that was watermelon flavoured before but Tom Dupain had a standing policy that should a flavour be requested even once, they would attempt to make something in that flavour. The easiest thing to make in multiple flavours was macaroons but if the person who requested the unstocked flavour had a particular treat in mind, that is what they would attempt to make.

As Marinette knew this policy all too well she had immediately asked the white-haired teen if he had any preferences only to discover that as long as it wasn't too sweet, he'd enjoy it. Marinette didn't think much of it she just told him that they would have an array for him to try next Saturday and after getting his agreement that that arrangement was ok, Marinette moved on to the next customer.

She spent all day on Sunday working with her Maman trying different recipes that she could adapt to have watermelon as the main flavour, only to find the ones that worked best was indeed macaroons and surprisingly enough, a cheesecake. She hoped that he would enjoy the treats when he came in to try them.

Monday morning came as it usually did, though this time there was the added bonus of it raining heavily. She had cursed slightly when she had seen this as she hadn't closed her skylight properly after the previous nights akuma fight but kept running towards the school, planning on texting her mother as soon as she could to as her to close the skylight for her. She knew she would have to change her bedding either way though!

She had been worrying about her skylight so much that she didn't notice that there was a new student in her class until Mlle Bustier asked her to please show him around and make sure he was comfortable. She nodded in greeting to him which he returned but they didn't try talking as Mlle Bustier had started her lesson already. While showing him around the school she came to understand that he wasn't the most expressive person and decided to give him her number if he ever needed it but with the understanding that she didn't expect him to do anything with it. She also filled him in about the akumas and how to avoid them and or how to avoid becoming one herself.

It was three weeks later that Marinette received the fright of her life. She had been on patrol, once again it was a solo one due to a temper tantrum from the brat she called a partner when she saw someone who looked very similar to her new classmate sitting quietly on a roof. She made her way towards him taking in his clothes as she did so. He was wearing a sleeveless white haori which had a green sash around his shoulders and it looked like it was being held together by a star-like clip. It looked to Marinette like the sash was holding a sword's sheath in place on his back. Marinette stopped for a second to wonder where he got the sword before continuing towards him. It was only as she reached him that she remembered that she was still transformed into Ladybug but knew it was too late to turn around.

 * * * * * * *

Tōshirō hated the assignment he was currently on. Not only did he know he would have a mountain of paperwork to complete by the time he got back, but he was around more teenagers than he was used to. Even when Ichigo was around there weren't as many as there currently was around him. He was glad that he could walk around without having anybody expecting from him for the most part but he still didn't like it. He had only just started the assignment when he decided to check where or who the high reiatsu he was sensing was coming from. To his surprise, it was from a small, dark-haired girl that was working behind the counter in the bakery he had just walked into. He had asked for watermelon flavoured pastries as a cover but was surprised when she had informed him that while they didn't have any that week they would the next week. He asked why and was further surprised about the policy that the owners had regarding flavours. 

When she arrived in his class and then was instructed to show him around the school, he had half expected her to be just as bubbly as she had been while behind the counter at the bakery. It was due to this that he had to hide a frown when instead of being bright and bubbly, she was quiet and almost withdrawn as though she was trying to make herself invisible or at least less of a target. Even her reiatsu was more contained. Tōshirō stayed quiet throughout the lessons and asked a few questions about the school during the tour. He listened intently as she told him about the akumas that plagued the city and how to avoid making himself a target and for a while he thought that was the reason for the drastic change in her behaviour. He discarded that notion fairly quickly though as if that was the case her behaviour wouldn't have changed.

After she left his side for a bit he got his answer. A group of his classmates cornered him, telling him that Marinette was a bully and that she was constantly picking on Lila. The stories they told didn't make sense to him though as his encounters and observations suggested something completely different. He hadn't agreed but nor had he disagreed with his classmates by the time they left however it seemed Marinette had witnessed the confrontation and had stayed quiet ever since. For the next two weeks, she didn't reach out to him except to help with classwork when he asked. In fact, Tōshirō noticed she stayed quiet in general and on the nights when there had been akuma attacks, she came to school with a large carry mug of green tea loaded with honey. It was seeing this and remembering his early days as a captain in gotei 13, where he would fight hollows all night and still go to his office in the morning to get the paperwork done.

It was less than a week after he came to the conclusion that his ostracised classmate was Ladybug that he got his first alert for a hollow being in the area. The fight had been extremely easy, and there was no damage that would have to be explained away so he decided to sit on a rooftop to relax and possibly get some thinking done. He soon lost track of time as he gazed at the slightly cloudy night sky when he felt the same large reiatsu that he always felt around Marinette and turned to see Ladybug walking towards him. 

“Tōshirō, what are you doing out so late? Are you alright?” Tōshirō smiled at the concern he heard in her voice as she spoke softly to him.

“I'm fine, Ladybug, just needed to think.”

“Oh. Is that why you are wearing clothes from your home country instead of...” She slapped a hand over her mouth and went bright red. Tōshirō glanced down to make sure nothing had moved in the slight breeze then looked at her on confusion when he saw nothing out of place and thus nothing to cause her any embarrassment. 

“Ladybug?”

“I can't believe I asked that! Bad enough I called you by your name! I am such a spaz...” She muttered covering her face with her hands and squeezing her eyes closed. Tōshirō smiled as he got the answer to his unspoken question. She had revealed that she knew him despite never having met him as Ladybug and she was feeling guilty about the mistake. He got to his feet and walked over to her, then in a move that would have shocked everyone who knew him, he gently grasped her wrists and moved them away from her face.

“Hey, it's alright, I already knew who you were.”

He regretted saying that straight away as she went rigid and almost growled “How? I've always been careful! How did you know who I am?”

“Can we go somewhere a little more private so that I can explain?” She appeared to think for a moment then nodded. She turned and started to move away before stopping and turning to him. 

“The best spot is probably at the bakery. Can you get there yourself or do I need to carry you?”

“I can get there myself and I promise I'll explain how when I explain how I know your identity.” She nodded and turning again, flung her yo-yo out to cross the gap between buildings until they reached the balcony above the bakery. When he arrived soon after, she nodded and opened the skylight and stepped through it indicating that he should do the same. He was surprised when he landed on a bed and was about to say something when he saw that she had made her way to the main floor of the room and had flopped back onto the computer chair. He made his way down the stairs and sat on the chaise then had to wince as a bright light flashed briefly in the semi-darkness.

“Marinette! You shouldn't -”

“He already knew, Tikki. I was about to find out how but thought you'd like to hear his explanation too.” Marinette said tiredly to the floating red thing that she had called Tikki. Tikki turned and looked at him, tilting her head to the side and blinked.

“Oh, that explains it.” She stated calmly.

“Explains what, Tikki?” Marinette asked in exasperation.

“He's a Shinigami, and as such is immune to the glamour that comes with the Miraculous.”

“A Shinigami? Wait not like Ryuk, right? And what glamour Tikki?” Marinette was clearly trying to keep her voice down, which Tōshirō appreciated but he was very confused by the reference to someone called Ryuk.

“Yes, a shinigami but no not like Ryuk, Marinette. That anime got the role of shinigami so wrong which is why I always get annoyed when you watch it. A shinigami guides souls to the afterlife or purifies corrupted ones called hollows much like you purify akumas. They don't see what the hollow looks like once purified though as in most cases the soul will move on to the afterlife once it's purified. In cases where the soul was evil even before it became a hollow, defeating the soul will send it to hell but that's really rare!” Tōshirō nodded when Marinette looked at him for confirmation of Tikki's words. 

“Ok that answers about what shinigami are but what about that explains the glamour you mentioned? Or how he can see through it?” Marinette pushed.

“When we choose a wielder we cast a mild glamour over their civilian form that basically redirects everyone's attention when you need a getaway to transform. If someone tries to watch you transform it will blind them temporarily and they won't remember that they were with you when you transformed unless you give them your permission to do so, then the blindness won't bother them either. In the case of cameras, it will blur the image and no amount of filtering will clean up the image to get a positive ID, though this only kicks in when you are needing to transform. As shinigamis deal primarily with souls, the glamour doesn't affect them nor do any of the other side effects of the glamour. He also can't be akumatised but the miraculous cure can heal him if he is hurt or caught in an attack.” Tikki explained. It was clear Marinette still had questions about what Tikki had said but she seemed to accept it all and moved her focus onto him.

“So, what are you going to do with the information and how long have you known? What brought you to Paris in the first place?”

“I wasn't planning on saying anything to anyone about your identity, to the point where I haven't even included it in my reports as it has no relevance to Gotei 13 nor to the council.” He sighed, thinking then gave Marinette a run down about reiatsu, the ranking system they had so as to explain why he was sent instead of anyone with a lower rank and even how hollows were formed. He even told her about how her reiatsu had attracted the attention of Gotei 13 and their worry about it after the drama that had happened with Ichigo, “That's mostly why I'm here” He concluded before he glanced out the window and his eyes widened in surprise at seeing that dawn was breaking. Have we really been talking for that long? He thought. Thank Kami that today is Saturday and we don't have classes today.

Marinette had followed his gaze and groaned. “Well, today is going to be fun!” She moaned sarcastically before continuing when he shot her a confused look. “I have to work in the bakery with my parents today and we didn't get any sleep. If I sleep now I'll get an hour, two at most before having to get up to help anyway and I'll feel worse then I would if I did sleep than if I didn't.”

“Oh! Sorry about that we should have kept an eye on the time.”

“Yeah we should have,” she replied then glanced to the side and smiled, “At least Tikki got some sleep!” They both laughed softly at that before Tōshirō left with the promise to keep their friendship and her identity secret.

 * * * * * * * *

A month had passed since that all-night conversation and the two of them had become even better friends. They had even asked Tikki if it was possible for Tōshirō to use a Miraculous if he needed to and they were both relieved that it was indeed possible. Marinette was getting better at keeping her reiatsu under control in order to avoid accidentally attracting hollows to herself and it had helped her with her emotions as well which she was happy about. 

A change to her fighting style and even her strategising had taken place when Tikki had revealed that there was a way to link the miracle box to her yo-yo as she was the current guardian, which helped shorten the akuma battles immensely. Due to Miricle Queen, she hadn't been using the various temporary holders she had originally chosen, which had most of them sulking but she had a duty as Ladybug to keep everyone safe and she was determined to do just that. She also didn't trust Alya, Nino or any of her classmates other then Tōshirō thanks to Lila so they were all out of the question as temporary holders anyway. Even her crush on Adrien had vanished due to his lack of spine. She was still grateful that Master Fu hadn't left the scans and translations of the grimoire on the tablet but had transferred it to a flash drive, which he had given her almost as soon as the theory part of her training was completed as a safety measure. While Hawkmoth had managed to get the tablet everything had been done on, it had been whipped by professionals so there was nothing on it except Master Fu's cute animal pictures.

Unfortunately, Chat had seemed to notice this and kept pushing for her to share the guardian's duties with him and his temper tantrums had resulted in her telling him to grow up more than once. She had noticed that he was unable to see Tōshirō when he was in his soul form and that had resulted in yet another long and uncomfortable conversation with Tikki. Apparently, he wasn't a true match for the black cat miraculous, so it wasn't giving him the same boosts as the ladybug one was giving her. Eventually, they had decided he had until the end of the month to either shape up or he would be replaced.

The number of akumas that had been sent out had remained the same but the number of amoks had dropped to one every two to three months so Marinette knew they were due for one soon. It was just her luck that on the day the amok- akuma duo struck on a Friday whilst Tōshirō was visiting her. Marinette heard the scream first so she spun the computer chair around to check her computer for details and grumbled under her breath. She sighed when she saw that there was a sentimonster as well as the akuma so she knew she would need extra back up. However, as she watched a plan formed in her mind that would work whether or not Chat showed up. She quickly walked over to the Miricle Box and pulled out the Dragon Miraculous as well as the Fox.

Tōshirō looked at her as she walked over to him and offered the Dragon Miraculous to him. “Are you sure?” He asked quietly.

“I'm sure,” she answered even as she put on the Fox Miraculous.

He nodded and greeted Longg before they both transformed. Due to using a combination, Marinette's costume looked very different from what she normally did. The red was now a rusty red rather than her usual scarlet. Instead of gaining a tail like Rena Rouge did, her hair lengthened like it did when she and Chat had accidentally swopped miraculi. Instead of one braid though she had nine trailing down her back, all from one high ponytail, each tipped in the same rusty red as her suit. She still had her spots, however, she now had panelling of pure black that formed a corset as well as arm guards and thigh-high boots. Her mask remained the same except for the colour changing from scarlet to rust like the rest of her suit.

Tōshirō, on the other hand, seemed to be paying a tribute to his Zanpakutou, Hyourinmaru and his element of ice. His hero costume looked very similar to his shinigami uniform but without his haori and it was an icy blue colour instead of being black. His normal sash was holding the sword that came with the Dragon Miraculous and the Dragon symbol replaced his star sharped pin. The sash, much like the rest of the detailing on his outfit was a teal green that matched his normal eye colour. His mask had a scaled effect in ice blue and teal on it as well as lenses that gave him amber reptilian eyes much like the way Chat's gave Chat cat eyes. It was very striking in Marinette's opinion, as well as being very stylish. 

Due to her preplanning and Tōshirō's experience battling hollows, the battle was over relatively quickly. Tōshirō had taken out the sentimonster while she had concentrated on the akuma of the day. They had switched briefly so that she could cleanse the amok, then they tag teamed each other with the akuma. They were about to finish the battle off without her having to call on her lucky charm when Chat arrived. As usual, he threw a temper-tantrum about the fact that she had called on a new Hero, Kōri no ryū. He was highly annoyed at the fact that he hadn't been consulted on who to choose, as well as the fact that the new hero was male. She exchanged a glance with Kōri no ryū and he nodded slightly, which caused her to sigh. She tuned out Chat's voice and quickly finished off the akuma sending both the purified feather and butterfly on their way. 

She then turned her attention to Chat, who was still moaning and hadn't moved from the spot he'd been on since he'd arrived. This hadn't gone unnoticed by the rest of the population of Paris and they were all muttering to each other as they watched Ladybug to see how she reacted. She felt more than saw Kōri no ryū walk up to join her so she murmured a quick query about how much time he had left, only to find out that Longg had told him due to his shinigami status he didn't have a time limit. As her eyes had never left Chat she saw him take a deep breath to prepare for his next round of complaints. 

“Do you even hear yourself right now, Chat Noir? You rarely show up to fights after you throw one of these fits, you always complain about the fact that I have the responsibilities of Guardian yet you show no maturity when it comes to battles and almost invariably gets controlled by the akuma if it has mind control capabilities. Do you even bother with doing your patrols on the nights when you are meant to be doing a solo patrol? Don't bother answering, I know the answer is no.” Ladybug closed her eyes and took a deep breath to steady herself. “With this in mind 'Wǒ, piáo chóng, dōngbù hǎiguī hézi de shǒuhù zhě, zài cǐ, xiàng nín (qiáo tè·nuò yī) bōduó nín de zhízé hé “hēi māo de qíjī”. Rúguǒ nín kàngjù, nín jiāng miànlín rènwéi héshì de hòuguǒ.'” 

Chat stared at her, making it clear that he spoke Chinese and understood what she had said. Although the crowd didn't seem to understand they did notice the glow that was starting to come from Char's ring.

“If you wish for your identity to remain a secret I suggest to leave now and send the ring with Plagg and Kōri no ryū as he is a permanent holder. However, if you wish to fight you have less then three minutes to do so. Do you understand?”

Chat growled low in his throat before trying to call 'Cataclysm' only for it not to work. 

“Plagg no longer has to respect your control therefore he won't let you use the full extent of his powers. You now have less than two minutes and counting.” Ladybug said looking completely relaxed, while still being ready to fight the second Chat tried to make a move to fight them. He seemed to fold in on himself as he realised that not only had everyone witness his attempt to kill Ladybug or Kōri no ryū but that Ladybug was serious about taking away his miraculous and exposing him. He was about to leave when his time ran out and with a bright flash of green light, Adrien Agreste stood where Chat Noir had once been. Plagg flew out the ring and grabbed it off of Adrien's limp fingers, flying onto Ladybugs outstretched hand.

“For what it's worth Adrien, I'm sorry it came to this. I just wish you could have grown up instead of acting exactly the same way you did when we were just starting to fight against Hawkmoth. I also hope you know better than to be akumatised over this.” Her voice was soft and those closest to her could see that she was trying not to cry. Adrien nodded and simply walked away, knowing that he was currently prime akuma bait with his tremulous emotions but also knowing he would fight tooth and nail against being possessed.

Ladybug cast her miracle cure and Kōri no ryū used the Kikanshinki wipe away any evidence that Adrien was Chat Noir as well as remove the memory of what had just happened and replace it with an extended battle followed by an announcement introducing him and about Chat retiring as he was moving. He left Adrien and Marinette unaffected though and told her what he'd done as soon as they were back in her room.

Marinette was so thankful for what Tōshirō had done and so overwhelmed by what had just taken place that she couldn't help it. She burst into tears. Tōshirō wrapped his arms around her and let her cry all her emotions out while Tikki kept an eye out for akuma butterflies. Marinette had cried herself out within an hour but instead of falling asleep like her body practically demanded she do, she sat up and sighed. 

“Tōshirō, I meant what I said about you being a permanent holder until Hawkmoth has been defeated. Unfortunately, I also have what may seem like a random question to ask you. It may seem like I'm trying to use you for your shinigami abilities but I promise I'm not.” He silenced her rambles with a quick, soft kiss then smiled as he watched her try to get her brain back under control.

“I know you wouldn't ask me to use my skills unless you had a really good reason.” He said softly.

“Why did you...” Her voice trailed off as she gazed up at him.

“Two reasons. One, you were starting to ramble and as cute as it is I thought it would be better to stop you from getting totally confused by your own rambles.” He smiled indulgently at the pout on her face as he said that. “And two, I've wanted to do that for a while now and I couldn't help it.” She looked at him with wide eyes so he nudged her slightly. “We can talk about that later, you wanted to ask me to do something but got yourself distracted, so feel free to ask. If I can't do it due to rules that I have to follow or for personal reasons I'll tell you.”

Marinette nodded then started to speak softly, “When Lila first came to our school she stole a book that Adrien had stolen from his Dad's safe earlier that day. Tikki identified it as the Guardian's Grimore and urged me to take it to Master Fu, which I did after I saw Lila throw it away. It also got me thinking that M. Agreste could be Hawkmoth. Chat hadn't liked the idea and I see now why but he also agreed that it was a strong possibility at first. Anyway, my question is would it be possible for you to scout around the Agreste Mansion while in your soul form to see if you can confirm it? If so it would probably be best for you to leave soon as he's likely to try to confront Adrien about why he's so upset. Either that or he'll still be transformed and trying to send out a new akuma. I suspect that Nathalie is Mayura but I'm not sure. If she is she'll be extremely sick right now and so there is also the possibility that M. Agreste will be trying to tend to her.”

Tōshirō nodded in agreement with her theory then popped a soul candy to ditch his Gigai. He was half surprised to see the Dragon Miraculous was still around his neck but smiled in thanks anyway. He gave Marinette another quick kiss then headed out. She directed the false soul that was currently in his gigai to lay on the chaise as though he had fallen asleep, which is all she felt like doing. Instead, she focused on making sure she had some watermelon flavoured treats ready for when he got back, then went to work on her homework.

She got most of it done by the time Tōshirō returned from his scouting mission she had completed everything that she could, catching up to where she should be and had a list of questions about certain concepts to ask when she got back to school on Monday. All she'd had to do was take a quick glance at his face to know that her suspicions were confirmed. He flopped back into his gigai with a groan, the devoured the treats she had out for him and gratefully accepted the glass of ice tea that she offered him.

“It's worse then we thought.” He started with a sigh after a moment. “M. Agreste is definitely Hawkmoth while his assistant was Mayura. This last amok she sent out killed her and her negative emotions at her time of death caused her to become a hollow just as I arrived, so I had to fight her first. Thankfully, she wasn't sent to Hell for her actions but it wasn't an easy fight either way. M. Agreste doesn't seem to have realised that she's died yet so I was able to get the Peacock Miraculous before I carried on.” He handed it to her as he took another drink from his tea, wishing it was Sake but knowing he shouldn't drink. “I had a look around before I left again. It looks like M. Agreste has his wife in suspended animation underneath the house. However, while her body is perfectly preserved, her soul chain is cut and there's no sign of her soul anywhere. Not even the faintest trace of reiatsu remains meaning she is well and truly dead.”

“I guess we know what M. Agreste's wish is then, he wants to use it to bring her back. While the miraculous wish would work, the price should he get that wish is too horrific to contemplate!” 

“I agree. We can't let that happen, no matter the cost.”

They checked the time and decided they had done all they could for that day as it was 10 PM and Marinette was on duty in the Bakery the next day. They had also ignored the fact that he had kissed her twice and that they had yet to talk about it. He brushed himself off then stood up and Marinette did the same thing. 

“Do you want to come to supper tomorrow night? It's my turn to cook and I'm going to be making Amanattō for dessert.”

“You are spoiling me, Mari,” he murmured even as he nodded in agreement. Just as he turned to leave Marinette walked over to him and kissed him, taking him by surprise.

“You aren't the only one who has wanted to do that. You just happened to beat me to it.”

* * * * * * * *

By the time Monday arrived they had confirmed that they liked each other and that they wanted to date, but they also wanted to wait until Hawkmoth was gone before they settled anything. They didn't know what would happen with Gotei 13 and if he would be allowed to stay once everything was stabilised so they made a few contingency plans as a precaution. When Hawkmoth was defeated, Tōshirō would return to the Seireitei to find out what his new orders were. If he was to stay there, Marinette would move to, Karakura Town and continue her studies there. She wasn't all that attached to Paris anymore and while she loved her parents they weren't as close as they once were.

The plan to take Hawkmoth down was simple. Luka would wield the Turtle Miraculous whilst Kagami would use the Bee. Marinette would use both the Fox and the Ladybug again. They would sneak in late on Friday night and Kagami would use Venom to paralyse M. Agreste before he could react. They knew they would only have five minutes to work after that so Kōri no ryū would raid the house for any and all Miraculous related artefacts with Luka, while they were doing that Marinette would take the Butterfly Miraculous away from M. Agreste and force him to listen to what the consequences of his actions would have been had he won. The four of them would then use a spell designed to prevent someone from ever being able to recognise a miraculous ever again to prevent M. Agreste from coming after the Miricle Box once they left.

School that week seemed to drag. Everyone was talking about the new hero and at the surprising news of Chat stepping down. Adrien seemed even more withdrawn than normal but everyone put it down to Nathalie's death and not the fact that he used to be Chat Noir. Eventually, though Friday arrived and everything was ready. Kōri no ryū and MiShell were ready to move as soon as Sasu Hachi (Stinging Bee) stung M. Agreste. The plan worked flawlessly as they snuck in and soon Ladybug was explaining exactly what would have happened had he won to M. Agreste. As everything that was miraculous related seemed to radiate a small amount of reiatsu it was all found relatively quickly. Then the spell was cast and they were all gone as though they had never been there. 

The planned press release was given to Nadja via Marinette who said it had been delivered to her by Ladybug with the request that it be aired on Sunday as a special broadcast. Nadja was only too happy to do so as she knew that if Ladybug asked for something to be released then it was obviously the scoop of a lifetime. She was confused as to why Ladybug was leaving the disk for her and not for the Ladyblogger but she wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. The note on the front asked that the disk's contents be aired without any editing, as well as without anyone watching it first. T.Vi was wary of doing that but they chose to trust Ladybug and did as they had been asked.

They, along with the rest of Paris, were stunned when they saw what was on the disk. The last thing they had expected was a recording showing four Heros standing in front of the original statue that had been erected in Ladybug and Chat Noir's honour all those years ago. They didn't expect to hear the news that HawkMoth and Mayura had been defeated and that it was doubtful that any of the heroes would ever be seen again due to how Ladybugs civilian form had been treated. Paris listened in horror as Ladybug told them of how she had been subjected to unspeakable betrayal and bullying as a civilian and how she had often wished that she could just give up and leave them to their fate. Ladybug then proceeded to tear apart ever lie that had been posted on the Ladyblog as well as call Alya and Lila stalkers while she cuddled into Kōri no ryū for comfort. She didn't talk about how she felt regarding Chat Noir and how he treated her, nor did she talk about their ever-increasing fights but as far as everyone was concerned there had been enough bombshells dropped for the day.

School on Monday morning was an interesting affair. Tōshirō had had to report in about everything that had been happening in Paris and unfortunately, he had to do so in person. This meant that Marinette would be facing her classmates alone as she didn't doubt that M. Agreste would have pulled Adrien from school for the day at least after he had found Nathalie dead and with the news that M.s Agreste was dead too. Not that Adrien would have stood up to help her anyway. 

The noise as she entered her class was deafening. Alya was busy screaming at Lila about her lies and how her blog was destroyed. The rest of the class were also screaming at Lila about various promises that had been made and demanding to know what else she had lied about. Marinette simply walked past everyone and made her way to her normal spot at the back of the classroom next to the window. Rose was the first to see her and she alerted the rest of the class to the fact that Marinette had arrived.

Soon there was a throng of people crowding around her desk and Marinette was ready to tear into them about their 

unfair expectations of her simply forgiving and forgetting everything when a woman with black hair walked into the classroom.

“Alright class, settle down now. I need to take the register and-” 

Before she could continue Alya yelled out, “Why should we listen to you? You are not Mlle Bustier! Where is she?”

“That will be detention for you, Mlle Césaire. As for who I am, I am Mme Ariès and I am your new teacher. Mlle Bustier has been fired due to her handling of this class and her handling of bullying in general. I'm sure she is a wonderful woman however, we need to carry on with your education, which you have all fallen behind in thanks to various factors. Now...”

Marinette tuned the rest of the new teacher's speech out as she got a message from Tōshirō, which she quickly checked while the teachers back was turned. Tōshirō had been told that he was not coming back to Paris, so he had set their plan in motion by contacting Kisuke Urahara. Kisuke would be in charge of creating a candy that would make her totally fluent in Japanese, not only speaking wish but being able to read and write it too. He would also be in charge of enrolling her in Karakura High School and making sure that Ichigo would be able to host her as he had recently married his long term girlfriend and they had their own house. She knew where Tōshirō had been staying so she would have to swing by there after school to fetch everything. 

Marinette nodded to herself sadly, she knew that what she had planned was for the best but she also knew she would miss Paris and her Parents. After class came to a close Marinette looked around the classroom one last time. She had some good memories of it but most of them were tainted by Lila and Hawkmoth. Feeling Tikki touch her leg through her small purse Marinette shook her head, then headed home to pack. By this time tomorrow, I'll be in Japan thanks to Kaalki. She thought to herself. I doubt anyone will even notice I'm gone, but I'm excited about what the future holds. For the first time since I became Ladybug, I'm free to choose my path. I can't help but wonder where it will take me though! 

(Translation into Chinese done by google translate – please let me know if it's wrong! Should read: I, Ladybug, Guardian of the Eastern Miricle Box, hereby strip you, Chat Noir, of your responsibilities and the Miraculous of the Black Cat. Should you resist you will face the consequences as deemed fit.)

It’s more about looks than skill (V)

Pairing: Ryuk/Reader.

Summary: Ryuk finds himself gaining feelings for Light Yagami’s best friend, but she doesn’t know he exists. When he makes the grave mistake of touching her, he makes things a lot more complicated.

Warnings: mentions of violence and death.

Notes: It’s finally here! Sorry for the long wait. I got very busy in our new house and I’ve been too stressed with everything to be able to write something good. This chapter isn’t all too eventful, though a good build up of events. And do let me know if you think L should be added in a love triangle, though perhaps you won’t actually end up with him. It’s just for fun and drama and because L is cute.

Let me know if you’d like to be added to the tag list.

Chapter V

She held her arms close to her chest in an anxious search for two familiar figures in the crowd. You’d figure they would stand out, a boy with an 8 feet tall God of death hovering behind him between the regular students going about their day. But no, there was no comfort she could latch onto at this moment. And if she were to spot them, she would probably do everything in her power to avoid them anyway.

Her summer had been quite eventful, to say the least. It hadn’t really felt like a true vacation to her, juggling constantly between the stress of Light’s secret ‘hobby’ when the news broadcasted, the inevitable start of her college life and not-all-that-great-friends crying over the phone about how everything was going to change and how they wouldn’t see each other as much anymore. Right, because that’s a first world problem she needed to hear.

This summer had been one of the loneliest in her life, and not because of her lack of trying. Light had cut off nearly all forms of contact with her, ignored her when she called out to him across the street and didn’t even bat an eye when she had accidentally dropped her bag of groceries after tripping over a loose tile on the sidewalk.

And it wasn’t just Light that upset her so much. It was Ryuk as well. He’d turn his head at her when she wasn’t looking. She’d caught him enough times doing it. But the worst thing was that he’d just quickly look away again and mutter something in Light’s ear. She didn’t know if it was gossip, some hateful curses or about a completely different subject. She just wanted to know why. Why they were suddenly acting this way, what she had done to deserve this.

It was right after she had dropped her groceries on the sidewalk and noticed Ryuk quickly glance away from the scene she had caused when she had her first panic attack. Her breaths became shallow, her heart started pumping adrenaline through her veins, she felt like she was going to throw up and all she could think of was how she wanted to run and get away as fast as she could. And so she did.

She ran all the way home, thanked God that her parents were on a trip and broke down crying in the middle of the hallway.

She didn’t know if it had been because she wasn’t eating properly, if it was the stress or just the utter loneliness and feeling of abandonment that had caused the panic attack, but she knew she needed help. So she called up her parents and asked if they could make an appointment with a therapist for her. And they agreed, knowing how hard of a time she’d been having.

On the other side of the school’s courtyard stood two figures shadowed by the blossom trees, staring at the girl they had avoided all summer.

“You’re a college student now, that’s kind of exciting! I’m filled with joy,” Ryuk commented.

“You don’t have to be so sarcastic, Ryuk. I already know you’re mad at me,” Light replied plainly. His eyes flickered over your features, noting how your pale complexion and the bags under your eyes almost made you look sickly.

 “Now for the freshman address, freshman representative Light Yagami…”

“Yes,” Light announced his presence and stood from his seat, feeling the eyes of the entire room on him.

“Ooh, wow,” Ryuk chirped.

Being a freshman representative wasn’t something Light had wanted to be, yet it was an obligation for someone who was top of their class. Schools wanted to show off their best students- Especially this year, because they did not only have one, but two people with perfect scores.

“…freshman representative (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N)…”

“Yes!” A shaky voice answered, along with the soft screech of a chair sliding back as she stood.

“…and freshman representative Hideki Ryuuga.”

Or three people?

“Oh, uh- here,” a voice nonchalantly called out, and a chorus of gasps and muttering erupted under the array of students. Even (Y/N) reacted a bit surprised, until she noticed it wasn’t the Hideki Ryuuga, the famous pop idol, but someone she vaguely recognized as the guy who had been staring at her so intently at the final exams. Only this time, he was wearing shoes.

‘I knew I’d be giving the address with another student apart from (Y/N)… but I never expected this’, Light thought. ‘I remember him from the exam center, he got into trouble for sitting oddly in his desk… It seemed like he was off in his own world. Until he started staring at (Y/N)…’

(Y/N) was the first to begin with her speech, and she was kind of grateful for it. It meant this would be over sooner and she could go back to her seat and blend in with the other students. Usually, she was quite confident, but when it came to speaking in front of a massive crowd like this, in front of people who were more experienced and most likely far smarter then her, she couldn’t help but get stage fright.

“The student who scores highest on the test is supposed to give the speech, right?” someone in the crowd muttered to his friend.

“I guess all three of them must’ve had the highest scores this year…” the other replied. “I heard they all had perfect scores in all subjects.”

“Seriously?! It’s hard to believe there are actually people like that!”

A few seats back, a girl was blushing profusely in her seat, a sort of look of shock spread across her face. “I think I like the little one on the right…” The girl sitting next to her turned to her with a frown, “What?! You’re so weird Kyoko. Look at how he’s dressed!”

As your speech came to an end, the crowd gave an applause to her great relief. And so, Light started with his. In the middle row of the room, two senior students commented remarkably about the trio.

“Man, these three are total opposites.”

“Yeah…”

“This one looks like a sheltered genius groomed for success his whole life, but the other one, there’s something not right about him… he’s just freaking weird!”

“This guy must be what they call a ‘mad genius’.”

“And the girl… just seems too normal to be standing up there, right? She looks like she can’t deal with the stress up there yet she somehow dealt with getting perfect scores.”

“Maybe she’s secretly a sociopath.”

“One thing I do know for a fact… she’s a lot smarter than you.”

Eventually, the strange figure apparently known as Hideki Ryuuga – not the pop idol – finished his speech and the crowd gave yet another polite applause. (Y/N) sighed in relief, nearly skipping down the steps of the stage towards her seat. She was shaking a little with the adrenaline coursing through her, yet her nerves had not ceased for as she quickly sat down she faced the fact that Light would have to sit next to her.

That is until Hideki Ryuuga buzzed past Light and took the seat next to her, forcing the boy in question to take the seat next to that. She could almost feel the irritation radiating off of him, and it made her smirk a little. Before either of them could start a conversation with you, however, she slipped her earbuds in which she had hid underneath her shirt earlier, knowing the rest of the chit chat on stage would merely be pep talk and other gibberish. She felt Hideki’s owlish stare on her for a little while, before he started up an actual conversation with Light.

When the room burst into a final applause, she got up and was one of the first to leave. “(Y/N)!” she heard through the hum of students. “(Y/N)!?”

She kept on walking, passed Ryuk in the hallway and didn’t even glance back once, though she felt the burning gazes of multiple figures on her back.
