A Quiet Day Off {Continued for some.}

[myo]

Zachary had stopped running after a little bit and was now safely at his campus. This was the safest place for him to be, for the moment at least, in case the man still followed him. Walking up the path to entrance of the school he lazily looked around for the shinigami which was following him. After spotting her he began to smile as he opened the door to get inside of the school. Since only visitors were allowed it wasn't like the guy could follow him on campus without getting noticed. His shoes making a soft clack on the floor when he stepped he felt filthy, though, he wouldn't take a show due to the fact he wanted to know more about the shinigami and he didn't know if it could become invisible again and he wasn't about to have demon smacking him or something while he was in the shower.. That would be creepy and VERY disturbing. Opening the door to his dorm he sat on the edge of his bed waiting for the shinigami to come in and start explaining some things. "After you got that entertainment you should be polite enough to tell me what I want to know." He said slightly annoyed that the demon would do that and then be so rude.

"Even you should have some manners you know." He said as he waited rather impatiently for it to appear as he attempted to solve this puzzle. If somebody was out to get him this thing would have just killed him not toyed with him. Surely it had some power he could use? It had to, otherwise, it had no use. "Please! Come on don't you have some power or something I can help make the new world with!?!?!" He whispered forcefully since, if anyone heard what he said this time, it would not be the same as the others, sounding perfectly normal, would not attract any unnecessary attention he might not want. It really was not his day today. First this guy dies when he walks in the cafe, then apples eat and fight him, a demon shows itself to him, and some guy is chasing him? Either way he wanted answers from this demon and he wanted the power that would help to make the new world with Kira.

[numnum]

Now, Snickerdoodle could be closer to the ground. The boy slowed down to a nice little walk that the lazy shinigami could keep up with. Her wings were smaller and were once again, noticeably lopsided. She followed him, often phasing through walls until Snickerdoodle was in in this guy's dorm or whatever it was.

"Even you should have some manners, you know" Snickerdoodle mimicked in a high pitch voice. Her body was half in the room, half phased outside of the wall. Was this guy forcefully whispering to her? About his stupid new world? Darn him.

Snickerdoodle made her way completely into the room and was solid again. Her high yellow eyes were a little darker and her pupils were bright, glowing red slits again. "A power or something, eh? Screw you. Why should I help you make a 'new world' or whatever it's called?"

[myo]

"Why should you help me? You should because it will be interesting. Obviously you don't want to be bored?" Zachary said as he pushed the buttons that would work with her. He wasn't lying at all. The creation of the new world would be interesting for the both of them with the many twist that would be added. "Trust me. If I day you will have gotten quite a bit of fun, though, if I live and create the new world you can actually say you made a new world. I guess if you don't want anything interesting to happen then be my guest."[/color Zachary said lazily as he reached under his bed and brought out some.. books... Anyway, he laid his back on his bed flipping through pages waiting for her response. It was a dangerous game so far but he was confident. If he could have its power or got it to work for him he would help Kira with the new world. Wondering if the Shinigami would co-operate with him he sighed. This was getting rather said that she would do this. He set his, er, book, down and got into the fridge brining out a cucumber and setting it down on a plate next to his bed. "If your going to follow me around will you at least remind me to buy more of those later?"[/color He asked little knowing that the Shinigami might actually be under his control because of..cucumbers?

[numnum]

No. No, Snickerdoodle did not want to be bored. Boredom is what she feared the most. But she wasn't going to help this guy. "How about instead of me helping, I more or less just get to follow you around and watch the events unfurl by them selves. Don't worry, I might cause a sud...sud..." Snickerdoodle's eyes widened and returned to their normal state: high yellow and no freaky red glowing pupils.

"Cucumbah~~!" Snickerdoodle cried excitedly, swiping the vegetable before Zach probably had the chance to even blink. She began to gnaw on the cucumber rather ravenously, but happily at the same time. There were only two weaknesses for Snickerdoodle the shinigami and those weaknesses were...cucumbers and boredom.

[myo]

As he was waiting for the rest of the reply he blinked and noticed she was eating his cucumber. He smiled as he closed the..book, slid it under the bed, and looked at Snickerdoodle. While she ate the cucumber rather fast and happily while he had realized two weaknesses so far that the shinigami had which he could play on both. "If you wait for the events to unfurl nothing will happen. If you don't help me you will get bored because the same events would always happen. I can shake all of japan up just by making a tape making myself known and making Kira realize he is not alone. Plus, if you help me with some great power or something, I will buy you three bags of cucumbers a week. More than fair for you, eh?" Zachary said as he watched her eat the cucumber and wondered why she liked them. It didn't really matter he just thought it was kind of weird that a shinigami thing would like to eat cucumbers instead of like human flesh or something. As a matter of fact, after that thought, he better make it four bags..

[kinmarr]

As the minutes passed by, Kin whistled the Italian national anthem to himself. He had been sure to get rid of it when he had gained power, but it was catchy never-the-less. When his phone finally began ringing, he casually picked it up. He normally did this to listen to his theme song, but he needed to seem casual no matter what, for you could never tell who was watching you.

"Reporting sir," a man's voice said over the line," The boy has retreated to his school campus. Thankfully, we easily breached the security in weak points and are completely undected. He is currently residing in his room. We have visual contact, but cannot breach within eavesdropping range without exposing ourselves. Any new orders sir?"

"I would like you to place your espionage equipment in the room when he leaves, but for now, remain impassive. Understood?"

"Yes sir."

When the line went dead, Kin went back to drinking his tea. It was a bit on the tart side, but nothing untollerable. The location also gave him the value of security which he valued slightly higher then the tea. Even so, he couldn't help but look at the tea with distaste. It seemed that sometimes you had to make sacrifices to get things you wanted. But, then again, what was new?

[numnum]

Munch, munch, munch away Snickerdoodle did until she realized this guy figured out her major weaknesses. Oh F--

"How about this: I only turn the events so that they lean toward being in your favor, and you give me twice as much cucumbers you offered each week," Snickerdoodle suggested. May be this guy was stupid enough to follow along with that. Snickerdoodle finished the last of the cucumber with one bite.

...Was it Snickerdoodle or was there another shinigami close by?

[Ryuk]

Watching Snickerdoodle devour the cucumber reminded Ryuk of his own addiction. His stomach rumbled forlornly, telling him that an apple would be greatly appreciated. Shaking his head and strengthening his resolve, he moved past the momentary annoyance. As juicy as apples were, they could wait a bit longer, especially when events were moving this quickly. In his hungry daze, he had become careless, and realized now that his presence was known.

“Well, there's no use hiding it now. Time to see what happens.”

Ryuk entered the room and solemnly tapped Snickerdoodle on the shoulder.

“So, I see he's not dead yet. What are you planning, or is he the one doing the planning?”

Shifting his position to be nearer Zachary, Ryuk continued.

“This boy reminds me of someone, but without the means to kill, he'll find it hard to achieve his goals. Any ideas of how to fix that?”

Ryuk's cold face split into a conspiratorial grin.

Ryuk deliberated silently for a moment, “If we kill him right now, then we can't have as much fun, but if we wait, that man is going to find him and end it anyways. There must be a way to make this work.”

“Hmm, so, have you told him how a shinigami kills yet?” he asked forcefully.

[numnum]

Snickerdoodle almost jumped when she felt a light tap on her shoulder. "What am I planning? Well I'm planning to only get some cucumbers and turn the events to lean into anyone's favor, though I think he believes it'll only be for his. I'll probably kill him when his time comes and the party's just about over," Snickerdoodle mumbled quietly. This was one thing Zach did not need to hear; only Ryuk. Shinigami to shinigami.

Snickerdoodle pondered Ryuk's next question. Who was the human he was talking about? Though that didn't matter, so Snickerdoodle pushed that to the back of her mind. "Well, he's been bugging me to show my 'friend', a.k.a you, so he can help cleanse the world, but I don't think I should go along with that."

Ryuk's next question played a grin on Snickerdoodle's face. "Y'know what? That might get things moving...or just threaten to kill him."

[myo]

Since he had not been in the conversation they were having he spoke to her rather agitated. "Or you give me some sort of power and you get five bags a week or don't give me the power be bored and not get any." Zachary said as he was disturbed it was probably nothing but he figured it was hunger. Since she had eaten his last cucumber he got into his fridge and got a grapple. Yes, you heard me right, a grapple. Something that taste like a grape and a apple and looked only like a apple. Either way he sat down, again setting the plate to his side, and waited for the shinigami's reply since he was rather annoyed by the fact that she was not going to take his offer. "Look you either get that or nothing, alright? Cucumbers and Entertainment or Boredom and No Cucumbers. You choice." Said Zachary as he shrugged reaching for his grapple and getting ready to take a bite out of it.

[numnum]

"Or I eat the flesh from your body and keep your soul as a pet due to my lack of cucumbers," Snickerdoodle retorted. "Seriously, though, I prefer to not help directly. I'm more of an indirect person, yo."

The apple caught her eye. She wasn't too into apples, so Snickerdoodle shrugged it off. Her attention was turned to Zach, who wanted a SPECIAL POWER to help CLEANSE THE WORLD FROM EVIL. The only 'special powers' Snickerdoodle could offer were the Death Note and shinigami eyes and she didn't feel like offering either of them.

[Ryuk]

“Kill him? Hyuk hyuk, now that wouldn't be very much fun, then you'd have to find someone else to give you cucumbers and you'd never get to see what that man that was chasing you wants. What a loss that would be, don't you agree? Besides, the party never really ends when you're immortal.” Ryuk smiled slyly at this.

“She's not interested in my human? Aww, what a shame, that would be an interesting meeting.”he thought to himself. “I'll have to find a way to keep a hold on this human though, he's too much like mine to let him out of my sight.”

After spending a minute in thought, Ryuk responded. “Hmm, don't want to show him that I'm here? Well, I'll keep my notebook to myself for now then, but I'm sticking around if that's okay with you.”

As he concluded, he noticed what Zachary was holding. An apple! He didn't have to be visible to play around a bit with the boy's mind, moreover, it could function as a test of his wits. Would Zachary question Snickerdoodle directly or deal with events in a more introverted manner? There was only one way to find out, and so with his mind made up, Ryuk reached stealthily for the apple. Once it had been wrenched from Zachary's grasp, he took a bite, and after a few confused seconds of savoring the flavor, promptly spit it out.

“This isn't an apple!”he silently fumed. “What kind of horrible thing is this? It looks like an apple, feels like an apple, it's even juicy like an apple, but it tastes so repulsive!”

He drew back, holding his silence and throwing the apple down onto the ground. He was above sulking, but he still needed some time to calm himself. Toleration came with time, but even given eternity, he could never learn to allow someone to play around with apples. Never.

Relatively calmed, he said in an even tone, ”Remind me why you want food from him?” At the same time, he made a mental note to find the creator of such an abomination and reserve a special page for him in a certain book.

[kinmarr]

As more and more reports came in, the more interesting it seemed. Not only was a cucumber eaten out of thin air, but then an apple also was eaten in a similar fashion and then spat back on the ground. If Kin's inquires were correct, there were two death gods present in the boy's room. The more he looked at the situation the more he was sure that that boy was definitely related to Kira. The problem was he had no idea how he was related to Kira. He decided that there was only one thing to do. Go in person.

As he Kin entered the school campus, he quickly made his way to the given dorms. He had already been advised against it twice by his other team leaders, but he mostly ignored them anyways. For, why should he stop now? As he came upon the right door, he realized that he should have probably put on some disguise. But, if someone wanted to kill him too badly, they could have already succeeded. With that thought in mind, he quickly rapped three times on the door. Not to mention, this allowed for his specs to get within range to set up the espionage equipment. He almost laughed at his own optimism, but quickly stopped himself, considering the situation.

[numnum]

"Hmm...ya make a good point with that," Snickerdoodle mumbled flatly. She shrugged and paused before answering to Ryuk.

"Nah, I don't mind. As a matter of fact, the more the merrier. Well--" Snickerdoodle kept her mouth shut when she realized that Ryuk was going for the apple. Okay, so this shinigami had apples for an anti drug. Not that Snickerdoodle really cared. But when the larger shinigami gave a mini tantrum, that startled her.

"It doesn't taste like an apple? Eh? Well, when I get cucumbers from this guy, they taste like cucumbers," Snickerdoodle shrugged with a raised eyebrow. "May be the thing you ate wasn't actually an apple." Her attention was focused on the door, now.

Rap rap rap.

"Ha ha ha, rap rap rap." Snickerdoodle repeated like a child. She floated over and opened the door to let the stranger in. She was right...the more, the merrier.

[myo]

Zachary, who was rather ticked at her by now, was waiting for something like that. "Go ahead. Eat me." He said while his grapple was taken forcefully from his hand. He smiled, just has he had thought, another shinigami was around. "Since you like apples and not grapples if you give me the power I'll give you my deal except with apples. You have to show yourself, though." He said as he heard somebody at the door and when he was about to get there the shinigami did it instead. Wondering what this guy could possibly want he walked over there and, with a annoyed look, he asked him what he wanted. It was a simple effective question. It didn't raise any suspicion more said you don't want anyone talking to you at the moment.
