In [How to Use:
XIII](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use%3a_XIII),
in the second point it says

> The god of Death always remains with the owner of the Death Note.

indicating that a Shinigami will remain with the owner of their Death Note,
Light learns this and gathers a group of friends to try and hide himself with
Ryuk following him when Misa is trying to find him (she finds him because of
her Eyes)

However, the Death Note Light had in the beginning isn't Ryuk's but Sidoh's
which Ryuk stole, and unlike Gelus who died and Rem probably obtained
ownership of Gelus's Death Note afterwards, Sidoh was still alive so even if
Light became the owner after Ryuk dropped it in the human world, the Shinigami
who was supposed to be with like was Sidoh.

Also in [How to Use
2](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use%3a_II),
the second point says

> The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original
> owner, i.e. a god of death.

So is there an explanation as to how Ryuk was tied with Light's Death Note
having stolen it from Sidoh?

Why was Ryuk tied to Light's Death Note?


According to [How to use
II](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use%3a_II):

> The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original
> owner, i.e. a god of death.

Therefore the only explanation for Light being able to see Ryuk would be, that
**Ryuk is the original owner**. But how did Ryuk become the owner of Sidoh's
Death Note? As I explained at [How did Ryuk trick the King of Death
Gods?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/11541/how-did-ryuk-trick-the-
king-of-death-gods/11602#11602), it is because of [How to Use
XII](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use%3a_XII):

> If you lose the Death Note or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership
> unless you retrieve it within 490 days.

Ryuk became owner of Sidoh's Death Note because of this rule. It wasn't until
chapter 65 that Sidoh realized that he had lost his Death Note, which is 6
years after Ryuk first dropped the Death Note down to earth. If it took him at
least 6 years to realize he had lost his Death Note, it would be safe to
assume that Ryuk had already found the Death Note 490 days before he dropped
it down to earth, claiming ownership and becoming tied to that particular
Death Note.

Actually a shinigami or god of death is mortal(rem,the shinigami attach with
miss and one more shinigami died)..to increase their age,they used to steal
age from the human world So here Ryuk the most brilliant shinigami tricked
light from the beginning.he actually steal the light life. This is the most
interesting theory I come up with.

So my theory is:

  1. if shinigami write a person death ,he also convert into the sand.so they only can reduce life of a human but can’t kill.(rem told to miss how shinigami use their more book)
  2. to kill a person by shinigami ,by writing name is only possible when human life span is completely finish.in that case shinigami will not die. Also as shinigami can see a person life span so it’s easy for them also.(at the end ryuk named lighat name in his death note) and he did not died
  3. many more
