SHORT CHAPTER

"Okay... I think I went a little overboard." I said. "You think?" Ryuk replied. My house was filled with Shinigami and I didn't know what to do. "So, what are you gonna do?" Ryuk asked as he sat on the couch, eating a bag of apples. "I don't know." I said.

Okay, okay. Let's think for a second. Aunt Chie won't be home until midnight tonight, so that gives me a few hours to figure out what to do. "You know, you can't crowd your house with Shinigami. It may be fine if you were living alone, but since you're not living by yourself, you need to think of something." Rem said.

"I know, I know. I'm thinking." I said as I rubbed the temples of my head. 'Okay, think. Think, Ryoko. You gotta think of something before Aunt Chie gets home.' I thought to myself. Wait... But will it really be a problem since she can't see them?

"Hey, what's this?" Sidoh asked as he was by the counter. "What's what?" I asked, going over to him. "This." My eyes went to what he was looking at and saw chocolate on the counter. "That's chocolate, Sidoh." I said to him.

"Can I try some?"

"Sure."

I broke him off a piece of chooclate and fed it to him. "It taste good. I like it. Can I have some more?" He pleaded. "Sure. Knock yourself out." I said, giving him the whole piece. He munched on it, happily as I went upstairs to my closet.

"There has to be something in here that can help me." I mumbled to myself. I pulled some old boxes out and a box that was stacked on top of another box fell off, hitting me on the head. "Ow..." I rubbed my head.

"Are you okay?" Ryuk asked as he extended his hand to me. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said, grabbing his hand. He pulled me to me feet and I shook my head, trying to shake the dizziness off. "Hey, lookie what I found." Ryuk said as he picked up a stuffed kitten.

"Huh?" He handed me the toy and I recognized it immediately. "Oh, I remember this," I smiled down at the small, stuffed kitten. "It's Mr. Shi." I said. "Mr. Shi?" Ryuk repeated. "You know? Shi as in 'Death'? I gave him that name because I was fascinated with death. My mom got this for me on my 5th birthday." I said.

"Why does it have blood on it?" He asked. "Because my Mom..." I trailed off as my smile disappeared. "Because when my Mom killed herself... her blood splattered on it." I said. I guess I forgot about it after I went to the Psychiatric Ward.

"Mr. Shi was with me before I met you guys. But I forgot about him after my Mom died." I said. I stared down at the dry bloodied kitten before setting it back on the shelf of the closet. "Come on, let's head back downstairs." I said.

Ryuk gave a nod before the two of us went back to the living room.
