Liar

Cake is good. But can it also be untruthful...?

"Raito...why is L hiding in the corner?"

"I don't know, Misa. I just...don't know." Yagami Raito scratched his head as he stared at his arch rival, curled up in fetal position and sucking his thumb. "Watari? Do you know?" He turned to the older man, hoping he would provide an answer.

"I don't know, either, Raito. He was just checking some e-mails and enjoying a piece of cake...and then he started screaming at the cake, calling it a liar, and then he sat down in the corner."

"Well...his e-mail would be a logical place to start..." Raito walked over to the computer and pulled up the program. "Let's see...five hundred yen off strawberries...new Misa-Misa porn-"

"Delete that." Misa, watching over Raito's shoulder, scowled at the screen. Dispicable. "Like I'd ever be in a porn tape anyhow..."

"Okay..." Raito deleted the e-mail, then went back to scrolling. "Did you know shinigami like apples...new crime reports...EUREKA!" The shout was so loud, Misa recoiled, Watari dropped the tray of sweets he'd been carrying, and L actually looked up for a second. "CAKE IS A LIE!" He pointed to the offending e-mail. "But who sent it...?"

"There's an e-mail address in the sender line!" Misa pointed out happily. One perfectly manicured nail stabbed a few characters that made it up. "Why don't you try searching it?"

"Good idea."

Ryuuk, watching from the shadows, laughed. "Humans are...INTERESTING," he thought, taking a bite of an apple and keying something on the laptop he'd stolen from the work area. It was amazing nobody had noticed it was missing by now. "Let's see how you ilke this, Raito..."

"Raito! There's a new e-mail!" Misa chirped excitedly. She pointed to the status message in the lower right corner of the screen. "And look! It's from the same person who sent the cake is a lie one!"

"Back for more, eh?" Raito hummed as he double-clicked the status message. The e-mail client came up, showing the new e-mail.

Raito

It's me, you dumbass.

-Ryuuk

"RYUUK!" Raito raged, resisting the urge to smash the keyboard into bits. "Apologize to L right now!"

The shinigami sighed, coming out of hiding and replacing the laptop. He took another bite of his apple as he walked over to the world-famous detective, leaned down, and whispered in his ear. L looked up, shied away from him, and ran away screaming. Raito clicked his tongue disapprovingly.

"What did you tell him now?"

"That his strawberry was cheating on him with the cake."

A/N: Ryuuk's e-mail address hates me. x.x;; It was supposed to be applesrgud at shinigami realm dot org.
