"Light Yagami! Light!" Misa Amane (Recently Yagami) called to her new husband from the bedroom. "Light... Why don't you ever come to bed?"

Light, as usual, was not listening. He was focused, once again, on his nameless foe. L... I have to find him and kill him before he zeroes in on me and shows the world my true, human form. He becomes closer every day to finding the truth of my godliness!

Light jumped a little- not much, just barely a flinch- when Misa touched his shoulder. "Light?" She was saying. "Light, you were lost in thought again."

Exasperated that she had brought him from his brooding, Light grasped Misa's wrist and held it firmly. "Misa, do not ever interrupt me when I am thinking. What I am thinking about is more important than any petty emotion you happen to be feeling at the moment." Light was calm on the outside, yet seething on the inside. He had contemplated her death on several occasions, yet he could not do this. If he did, Misa would be unable to find the true name of the only thing standing in his way... L. L, my only match in intellect. I will find his true name and win this little game he is playing with me. Nobody can hide from Death.

Misa was hurt by Light's sudden outburst. Tears filled her eyes. Misa, don't cry, she told herself. You are a celebrity... Celebrities don't cry when people are watching. Keep it all together. If not for yourself, then for Light. He was unraveling. She could see it every day, more and more. If she couldn't help find out L's true name, there's no telling what would happen to Light.
