Chocolate Popcorn 14
HI! Thanks for being patient with me.... I know I said I'd be updating every 2 weeks... but .. uh... SORRY! PLEASE DON'T KILL MEE!!!! TT-TT Just enjoy this new chapter!.. and... DON'T KILL ME!!!
"Hello there Shinigami!" Maems greeted cheerily. "We require your assistance!"
"Way to be forward dobe." Dano smucked her in the back of the head.
Ryuk gave them a kind of look. Or maybe it was just his face but they couldn't tell. Either way he picked up an apple and said. "Sure. But first," and he devoured aforementioned apple.
"And he went for the apples." Dano commented, face palming.
Dayna stood and walked over to inspect their new found 'friend'. "Hm.. I didn't think this would actually work."
Maems wasn't really listening to anyone. She was just so happy that the spell actually worked. She did a sort of hyper little jig all the while with a kind of creepy grin on her face. Ryuk finished the apple, core, stem and all, and said. "Anyway, my name's Ryuk. What is it you need?"
"Information." Dayna said bluntly, cutting right to the chase.
"First question." Dano continued. "Is Light Yagami the serial killer known as Kira?"
"Hyuk hyuk hyuk," Ryuk laughed, his perpetual grin widening. "Perceptive kids, yeah Light is Kira."
"Well at least that part's right," Dano said while Ryuk ate another apple. "Now then... How does Light kill people?"
"And is it really some kind of notebook?" Maems added to the question.
"Huh?" Ryuk said in surprise. "How were you able to figure that out?"
"We're just that smart." Dayna laughed.
"We had some help from some of Maems' books." Dano corrected.
"That we dids." Said Maems, holding up the black book.
The Shinigami laughed again. "You humans sure are entertaining."
"We try." The trio said in unison.
"Oh, I'm Maems by the way." Maems introduced herself. "but you probably already knew that."
Dano and Dayna introduced themselves as well. "Nice ta meet ya shinigami," Dano added with a smirk.
Maems leaned forward, her confident smile hadn't left yet. "You shinigami look pretty neat."
"Yeah man," Dayna agreed. "Pretty fuckin' cool."
Ryuk just gave them another confused look. They thought, it was hard to tell with him. They were still looking him over, quite interested in the way he looked (well who wouldn't be?), when Dayna posed the question.
"Wait a second... How can we even see him?"
"Yeah, that's a good question." Dano agreed.
Even Ryuk was confused by this. "I was wondering that one myself."
Maems cleared her throat, taking on a kind of teacher tone for a moment. "I shall explain this one. In the summoning ritual you saw me make the circle and light the candles. Well that's why. The ciricle has been spiritually charged and has created this little 'bubble' around Ryuk. As long as he stays within the circle we can see him."
"OOooooh." The others chorused in unison. Maems nodded.
To see if it was true Ryuk stuck his hand out of the circle and true to Maems' word it disappeared.
"Now you see him," Dano joked. "Now you don't.... So, anyway how does Light see you all the time?"
Ryuk smiled and chuckled. "You know a lot about shinigami for a human, let's see if you know that one."
"Hmm," Dano thought for a moment. "Well it obviously has to be something you gave him. Since just touching you doesn't do anything... apart from make Maems' day."
"Mwahahhaa," Maems laughed poking Ryuk in his ribs, at least she thought it was his ribs. His anatomy was a tad confusing. "Well, you must have giving that little rat fink your notebook, 'cause that's the only way he'd be able to do the killing."
"Then, we just have to touch the notebook and then we can see you all the time." Dayna rationalized.
"hyuk hyuk hyuk," Ryuk laughed again. He seemed to laugh a lot. "That's right, you are smart humans. Maybe even smarter than Light."
Ryuk graciously handed Maems his notebook and she passed it to Dayna and Dano before giving it back to him.
"Hn," Dano nodded with a smirk. "Thanks Ryuk we try."
During this whole time Maems had been poking and inspecting Ryuk and had stumbled upon his notebook which was strapped to his waist. Or at least she thought it was his waist. "Hey... aren't shinigami only supposed to have one notebook?"
Ryuk nodded, laughing... again.
"Then..," she picked up the notebook. "you must have either tricked the shinigami king or stolen another shinigami's book."
"Or both hehe," Dano said, a scheming tone in her voice.
"Hyuk hyuk hyuk." Ryuk really liked to laugh. "There are ways to kill shinigami, but even when we die, our notebooks still stick around."
"So you stole it from a dead guy?" Dayna asked. She wasn't 'horrified' or saw anything too wrong with it. After all the guy was dead so he wasn't using it.
"Yep." Ryuk nodded.
"Alright. I have one more question." Maems said. She was starting to look a bit pale and she was swaying slightly. "Can we call on you again? We can't take your spare notebook because that would make us look like Kira."
"And that would be bad," Dano pointed out the obvious. "since we aren't."
"Sure," Ryuk grinned. They were starting to get used to his facial expressions. "You are entertaining so I don't mind."
There was an awkward pause. Then Dayna whispered. "Ok.. that was kinda creepy."
"Hehe," Dano gave a nervous laugh. "Just a tad."
"Is there anything else you want to know?" Ryuk asked. "Time's almost out."
"Is there a name to your killer notebook?" Dano asked. "I don't wanna have to call it 'the notebook' anymore... That movie was really cheesy."
"You actually saw that?" Maems asked, surprised and getting off topic.
"I was forced." Dano sighed.
"Well that sucks balls." Dayna said.
"... It's called a Death Note." Ryuk said, getting them back on topic.
"Haha," Dayna laughed, rather amused by the name. "That's awesome, fuckin' notebook of death is called Death Note."
"Hyuk hyuk hyuk," Ryuk snickered. He gave a little wave and in a puff of black and silver smoke he was gone.
"Well that was really coo-" Maems began to say, but passed out.
Dano and Dayna stared at their now unconscious friend.
"That was... interesting." Dano knealed down and pocked Maems.
"Holy fuck!" Dayna swore. "What happened to Maems?"
"Dunno..."Dano shrugged and continued to poke Maems. "Dobe, hey dooooooooobe."
Suddenly Maems spoke. It was quiet and she was stuttering, but they could understand. "C-cold... s-s-sc-cold." And she promptly passed out again.
Dano turned to Dayna and said. "Uh... we should find her a blanket or something if she's cold.... right?"
"Right." Dayna nodded. Thankfully there was a small pile of blankets in the corner and one on the couch. Dayna brought them over and stacked them on top of the still shivering, still unconscious Maems. "There."
Dano asked after a brief pause. ".... Did it work?"
MWAHAHAH!!! That's right, after a long long time I come back.. and you get a cliffy! BWA HA HA HA HAAA!! Now I must run from flaming arrows and pitch forks! HEHE! Don't forget to review! And 'please updat soon' is NOT a valid review.
