Chapter 35: Fluffy! Sparkle! ...Shadow

Start from the beginning
                                    

 But first, I had to cross the dark and scary room in between. I fumbled around for the light switch but to no avail, I simply couldn't find it.

 Moonlight did not aid me either as the sky was covered by clouds, I was left by myself in the dark.

Slowly walking out into the darkness, I looked around cautiously. "Urgh where's a lantern when you need one?!" I muttered to myself, "I bet the barrels planned this!"

 After a few steps I couldn't take it any longer, I ran towards where the door was as if I was running for my life. Practically slamming into the door, I pushed it open and stumbled out into the cold night air.

And there was Matt, I flung myself towards him and clung onto his waist tightly, shaking.

"Link? What's wrong?" He said concerned, looking down at me as I held onto him.

 I looked up at him with fearful eyes and stammered out, "I p-played Amnesia…. now my imag-gination… s-scary Matt, scary!! They're coming for me!!"  

Matt blew out the last puff of his cigarette and stomped on it, putting it out. He then picked me up and carried me back to our bedroom. I was still shaking, looking around for any teleporting naked men. (Yep, referencing PewDiePie like a boss!! )

~in the morning~

I woke up to face a sleeping Matt. His goggles were still on the top of his head so I gently lifted them off and put them on the nightstand. I had a strange urge to poke him but decided against it because he hadn't had much sleep lately, neither of us had. Games to play, Internet to browse. 

He was so cute when he was asleep, like a cute puppy. Or a baby killer whale. Or a happy pira- wait, no..... why am I comparing Matt to a happy pirahna?!

I brushed his bright red hair away from his eyes as I watched him sleep (like a creeper). But I was suddenly interrupted by a certain shinigami flying through the roof. 

Kage had suddenly appeared in the room at the end of our bed. I got up slowly and motioned for Kage to turn around while I hastily got changed. Who wants a shinigami perving on them while they're getting changed?! Not me! 

With me in a pair of shorts and a hoodie, I walked over to Kage. I tapped him on the left shoulder, having to stand on my tip-toes to even reach his shoulder, and then stood to his right. He immediately looked at me.

"Aww you didn't fall for it! Not fair!" I said sticking my tongue out at him, he rolled his eyes back at me. After I said that Matt turned over on the bed, slowly he opened his eyes.

I stepped in front of Kage, in an attempt to hide him, then I realised that I was the only one who could see him. "Hey Matt! Just going for a walk! Bye!" I said quickly and rushed out of the house, Kage following close behind me. That wasn't suspicious at all!

We walked along the empty streets as it was quite early in the morning, avoding public places as much as I could.

"So who was that?" Kage asked, referring to Matt.

"Matt, my boyfriend." I replied, taking a cookie out of my hoddie pocket, "So lemme see your Death Note!" I said enthusiastically.

Kage took his notebook out of his belt and held it towards me in a swift motion, I jumped back from the notebook. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I can't touch it! And you can't let it touch human soil. It's 'your' Death Note. " I explained.

"But then I'll have to go back to the Shinigami Realm, it's a rule." He replied, looking slightly confused.

"Oh my dear Kage, there's always an exception to the rule." I said, resuming walking as I was drawing attention. ''As long as I want you here, you can stay." I explained to the young shinigami, thinking of my plan.

Kage caught onto my train of thought. "What're you planning?" He asked, flying beside me.

I turned to face him, "Oh you'll see." I replied before turning away again. I turned to walk back to the base.

It won't be long now.

We walked back to the base, me poking Kage while he did his best to ignore me. It was quite hard to annoy a shinigami apparantly, that didn't stop me from trying.

"Want a cookie?" I asked holding out the spare cookie I had, and no, it wasn't poisoned. I wonder if poison would even work on a shinigami, now wouldn't that be an interesting experiment ... MWAH HA HA!

Kage sighed and took the cookie in his hand, he stared at it for a while, obviously unaccustomed to human food. Well of course he would be, he's only young! Silly Link. 

He finally took a bite and spat it back out in disgust. 

"Hey! Don't waste perfectly good food!" I said grabbing the half he hadn't biten back from him. 

"That's revolting!" He replied staring at the cookie like it was dirt. Poor cookie, Kage was hurting the cookie's feelings now.

"More for me!" I just remarked. I looked back around for Kage but couldn't see him, then I noticed that he had taken interest in the banana stand at the side of the road. I silently prayed that he wouldn't pick anything up as I ran towards him, I wouldn't want to give these people a 'ghost' scare. I've had enough of those incidents.

Just as he was about to pick it up and reached the stand and got there before him. I held the banana up in his general direction, pretending to be inspecting it while I was actually trying to ask him if he wanted it. He nodded and I handed it over to the shop lady and bought it.

Kage found the banana to be 'delicious', and ate it happily. Well shinigami do have different tastes. 

We then returned back to the base, Matt and Mello were indulged in their different activites, so I went  to my bedroom and began telling my plan to Kage. I smiled to myself as he listened intently, this was going well....
