I would like to thank Shiranai Atsune for the idea of a genderbend version of death note! This fanfiction may or may not follow the original series. I`ve got plans and thoughts. Btw, Lucy means light; I wanted to use a connected name.

Chapter 1: The estimate

Lucy was studying in her room when she heard the doorbell ring. Immediate footsteps from bellow rushed to the entrance.

Her sister, Sayu, then called for her. Sayu had already gotten up the stairs when Lucy opened her bedroom door.

"Masaki has brought you your notebook", Sayu said slightly confused, which she had all the right to be. Even Lucy felt bewildered.

Who?

Her sister spurted downstairs. Their mother was also in the hallway now.

Lucy didn't know the blonde, young man standing in front of her, but she had the impression she had seen him before.

Who?

They had a one-meter distance, yet the young man smiled and waved at her. Lucy went outside and closed the door behind her.

"I'm so happy I could finally meet you!" the tone in his voice made it seem like he meant it. He noticed how questionable she was looking at him.

"I'm Masaki Amane."

Oh, right. The model, singer and whatnot.

A book that blended perfectly in with his clothes came to view once he pulled it out for her to touch. She touched it and could see the Shinigami whose name was Rem. It would have scared Lucy if she hadn't already experienced a terrifying creature showing up out of nowhere in her room, just a few days ago. Ryuk was creeping around her all day like an attached, ugly dog, but she liked to think that she had gotten used to it.

Masaki was tall. Lucy had seen him on posters and in the medias and such, therefore it felt a bit unreal now that the actual person stood right in front of her.

"We need to talk, come in." Her mother and sister were still standing in the hallway, probably curious.

"I've already told you about him", Lucy said. Sayu started to squeal and it didn't take long for their mother to get affected as well.

"Model Masaki is your boyfriend?!" She was freaking out. It was understandable; any young girl would probably react that way with a famous person in the house for the first time.

"We`ll be in my room."

Masaki was offered a seat and sat down on the only spinning chair in the room. Lucy wasn't planning to take things slow and got straight to the point.

"How did you find me?"

"My eyes. I accepted the deal…"

Deal? Was there something Ryuk hadn`t told her?

Lucy scolded at her Shinigami who averted eye contact. "…where I get Shinigami eyes in return for half of my remaining lifespan. I see every human's lifespan, except from the ones that owns a death note themselves."

"You did something risky. What if someone finds out that you and I have met? And what about those tapes you sent, what about fingerprints?" Even though she was clearly annoyed, he smiled.

"I wore an unrecognizable disguise. As for the tapes, do you really think I'm dumb enough to do it myself? I made a friend do it."

A friend?

He noticed how Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"I can kill her now if you want me to. Please, just let me stay with you! I can be your eyes, so in return…" He went silent for a moment, long enough for Lucy to get inpatient and ask "what?"

"Be my girlfriend!" Lucy couldn't help but feel irritated and suspicious. He had to be a mind reader; it was either that or that she was too obvious in letting her emotions show on her face.

"You don't trust me? Here! You can keep my death note and kill me if I turn out to be a burden." He handed her his book. Masaki`s eyes seemed so clear and convincing.

"How do I know that you haven't hidden some pages?" She asked, still suspicious.

"Don't be like that! Use me!"

"Why should I? Why do you want to help me so bad?"

"A year ago, my parents were murdered by a banker. I wanted to kill him, to make him suffer. Then Kira came and served justice! Kira means everything to me! I wanted to meet you to thank you."

Well, he could be useful with his eyes. They might come in handy.

"Fine! I can act like your girlfriend, but you need to listen to everything…" Before she could finish her demand, he had already embraced her. It was somewhat shocking, but she guessed this would be part of their new relationship from now on.

Masaki would tell her L`s name. When she was done with him, she could kill him. After all, he was the only one who knew Kira`s identity..
