You shoud use Fixnum class instead of Integer.

#to_s is defined in Fixnum, a subclass of Integer. Try this:
class Fixnum
def to_s
'9'
end
end
puts 5.to_s

There's also the gotcha of redefining core methods - other core methods just might call directly their implementations in C without going through the interpreter.
Try not to rely on core method redefining unless you know you'll always be calling the redefined methods directly.
