I own nothing! Just something that popped in my head.

The sky was clear of any clouds and stars shined brightly though it's dark cloak as Light exited the hospital. Ryuk followed close behind, as always, as Light started his way home. His father had just passed away and after crying over him, Light had excused himself. He hadn't been able to kill Mello, but that could wait. Light thought his performance was very realistic. During this thought process, he realized Ryuk had been quieter then normal.

"Ryuk, are you okay?" he asks. Ryuk let out his formilar, and slightly annoying, chuckle.

"Oh, are you starting to care about your shinigami now?" was his sarcastic responce. Light supressed the annoyed look threatening to desplay on his face.

"Not at all. You just seemed quieter then normal. It's unnerving." Ryuk laughed again.

"No, nothing's wrong. It's just interesting."

"What's intresting?"

"Your father. He died knowing you couldn't be Kira. You could say he was... happy?" A silence engulfs them untill Ryuk's laugh broke through it. "huhuhu but he was sure wrong. You're very smart Light, using your father's death to prove is couldn't be you. huhuhu" Ryuk's laugh faded into the darkness and silence overlaps them again. After a few moments Ryuk breaks it.

"Tell me Light, were those tears real?" Light knew what he ment. Were the tears over his father's death real, or just part of the act. Light stops walking, staring at his shoes. Ryuk looks back to him.

"I... I don't know anymore." Then the moment was gone, almost as fast as it started. "Come, Ryuk. I have a new worlk to build." With that, they walk away, not even looking back.
