"GET OUT OF THE ROAD YOU DUMB BITCH!"
"What?"
Tires squealed and the red blur swerved around her, making her close her eyes and she felt someone shove her towards the sidewalk.
"DUMB BLOND!"
"Ouch..." was all she could mutter, rubbing the back of her head with a shaking hand and sitting herself up unsteadily as the car roared away.
"What were you thinking?" a girl's voice scolded and the dazed girl squinted her eyes, the sunlight glaring behind a tall, slender figure with her hands on her hips and blond pigtails swaying. "You almost died! Why were you in the middle of the street?"
"I don't really know...?"
"UH! Some people!" the blond exasperated and shook her head, making her blond hair swish around her pretty face, her blue eyes closing, "you know that was pretty stupid! You scared Misa-chan to death!"
"Misa...chan?"
"Yes, Misa-chan," the girl pointed to herself and the other regained her balance before standing to her wobbling feet.
"I'm sorry, Misa-san, for scaring you like that."
Misa blew back her blond bangs, plating her slender hands on her leather mini skirt covered hips, and the girl cleared her throat.
"Well, before I disturb you again, I should be on my-"
"What's your name?" Misa demanded more than asked and her companion blinked.
My name...? Huh...I don't know my name...wait...
"Trinity," she replied and Misa nodded curtly.
"Okay...where do you live? Can I walk you home?"
"I live...um..."
Crap...do I even have a house? Great...I don't even know where I live...
"Are you homeless? You don't look like you are," Misa gestured and Trinity looked down at her black, jean miniskirt, red tank top and black leggings with ankle high, heeled boots.
"W-well...uhm...I-"
"Uh!" Misa exasperated and threw her hands up into the air then grabbed Trinity's hand, "come on. You can live with me until you get a house of your own."
"Okay...?"
"I was just going shopping, so...do you have any more outfits?"
"This is all I have-"
"Then let's go!" Misa chirped and half dragged the stunned girl into the shopping plaza. Trinity surveyed around her, the glass reflecting in the sunlight, vibrant fabrics seeming to welcome her to Japan and Trinity blinked as she slowly turned her head from side to side, her curious eyes drinking up the scenery.
"Misa-san?" Her voice was soft like a child's, almost afraid, and the perky blond turned, a sunny smile on her face.
"What is it?"
Trinity paused, and then pointed a pale finger in the direction of a fabric store, Misa's sapphire blue eyes following.
"Can we go in there?"
"It's just a fabric store."
"I like making my own clothes. I'm not sure why, but I do."
Misa studied her for a moment then shrugged, following Trinity into the store.
I find it weird how I just find myself in the middle of the street for no reason...it's strange to me. I don't know who I am...where I live...I don't even know if I have a family...
"Hey Trinity! Over here! What do you think of these?" Misa called, pulling out a velvety, black fabric as Trinity fingered the denim. She pressed her lips together, pondering, and then tucked the denim under her arm to meet Misa in the next aisle.
"Hm...It's nice but what could I make out of it? I've got an idea for a denim skirt but...would black look good on me...?" Trinity thought aloud and Misa nodded.
"You could make a dress! This would be so comfy to wear and I'm sure everyone in your school would adore it!"
"S-school...?"
Another thing I don't know about myself...where do I go to school?
"Yeah," Misa chimed, "don't you go to the local high school? Touou High or something?"
"Err...yeah...do you go there too?"
"No. I dropped out and got a modeling job," Misa explained, a proud smile on her face and Trinity sweat dropped.
"You're a-model?"
"That's right!" Misa spread her arms out and winked, "Misa Amane, full time model! That's me!"
Holy crud...that's impressive. Well then...I know who to turn to for fashion advice...
"Then I guess you know what's best when it comes to fashion!" Trinity laughed, somewhat nervously and Misa beamed.
"I would say so. So, you go to Touou...that's neat. Where to you plan to go to college?"
"I...haven't thought about that yet."
YIKES!
"Well, there's about a month left of school and you have the summer so you've still got plenty of time."
Phew...
"Ahaha! Yeah...thankfully. Hey, Misa-san, do you mind if I leave early? I have something I have to do."
Like...enroll in school.
"Aww! Do you have to?"
"I'll come back...I have nowhere else to go, 'member?"
"Oh! Yes, well, here's my address and if the house is still locked up then I'm still here, okay?" Misa pulled a pen out of her black, bat winged purse and wrote her house address and a cell phone number down on Trinity's pasty white palm, she reading it over three or four times to get in mostly engraved in her memory.
"Alright! I'll be back!"
"Do you want me to show you around? Or just pay for these?"
"No, I'll be okay. I'll manage..."
Misa pursed her full lips and shuffled up to the check out line, Trinity thanking her then pushing the shop doors open to walk back into the sunlight. Trinity searched around, her eyes trying to find a map of some sort and she walked a ways, coming to a bus stop and a map of the city.
"Let's see...if I take Main to East...then I can get to a plaza...the keep walking down East to the end of it and then that'll lead to me to the high school...wow, easier than I thought," Trinity exhaled, relieved, and began making her way down the street. She stuck her hands in her skirt pockets, her hair swaying around her shoulder blades and a small smile spreading across her lips. Taking in her surroundings, making note of landmarks and street names, Trinity weaved about the city, finally reaching the high school doors.
"It's after hours you know. School ended half an hour ago," someone informed and Trinity swiveled her head around to see a tall boy with light brown hair leaning against a tree, his chocolate brown eyes peering at her.
"I was coming to enroll here."
"You new?"
"Obviously."
"I'm sorry, dumb question," he said and his attention returned to the vibrating cell phone in his hand.
Trinity turned from him and preceded inside the air conditioned building, the door closing by it self behind her. She followed the signs in the school towards the main office, entering immediately to see a chubby, red haired woman sitting at the main desk.
"Hello," Trinity greeted the woman glanced up over her rectangular spectacles.
"Good afternoon. Can I help you?"
"Yes, I just moved here and I'd like to enroll here," Trinity bowed slightly, and the secretary raised her painted on eyebrows.
"There's barely two months of school...but okay, here you are dear. Be sure to fill out the courses you like to take and fill out all the information on the application," the secretary instructed then directed her attention back to the mountain of paper work piled on the already overloaded desk. Trinity seated herself at the table near the back of the office and scribbled down all her information best she could, relived Misa had written some phone number down on her hand.
"Last name?" the secretary inquired once Trinity had handed the application to her and the teen felt her body grow rigid.
Wonderful...I don't know that either! Well...I know my first so I'm half way there...
"Hun?"
"Err-what?"
"Last name, dear, what's you last name?"
"Oh...um...Amane," Trinity blurted out, hoping Misa wouldn't mind the taking of her last name.
"Alright...are you finished with filling out the classes? I need that now," the secretary told the embarrassed girl and she slipped it onto the desk top.
"Here, I'm all done."
"Fast too...are you going into an art field?"
"I might, why?"
"Just the classes you're taking. Fashion design, painting and acting and then the core classes..."
"Oh, yeah, I love art," Trinity beamed and bowed slightly again after the secretary had handed her a thick, white envelope, "thank you for your time. I'll see you."
"Monday dear. Have a good weekend."
Trinity departed with a copy of her classes in her hand and studied the periods each was offered. Pushing the double doors back open, Trinity felt as if someone was watching her and she picked out the same voice she had heard only twenty minutes before hand.
"...so I was thinking about our date and I thought we could go to dinner or something?" a girl's voice pondered and Trinity focused her eyes over by the same tree, seeing the same boy.
"That sounds good. I'll pick you up about seven?"
Trinity watched him, something about his tone making her want to know what he was talking about. He seemed to give off a different aura...as if he was hiding some type of dark secret...
"Sounds good! I'll see you tonight then."
"Yeah, see you later."
The girl walked away, smiling excitedly and Trinity stole a glance at him. She felt her breath catch, startled, when she met his darkened eyes, the shadows from his thick hair casting over his eyes and making his supposed friendly smile appear sinister. Trinity stared back, her expression blank and kept herself from shuddering.
Creepy...
"ACK!" Trinity tripped over a lose stone, spilling her papers everywhere and landing flat on her face on the pavement, the world seeming to pause and stare at her.
Way to make an impression...
Pushing herself back up Trinity gathered her papers and stuffed them back into the envelope, her face beat red. Daring herself to peek back over to Dark Secret boy, Trinity puffed her cheeks out to see he had turned abruptly, attempting to hide the smirk on his face and walked away.
JERK!
At Misa's House...
"Wow...that photo shoot went on forever!" Misa sighed dramatically and sprawled out on her bed, her blond pigtails fanning out on either side of her head. Trinity bent her head back towards the shinigami Rem, whose one, yellow eye stared unblinking at the both of them.
"So...other than it taking forever how was it?"
"Alright...people just telling me to smile and I look awesome and stuff," Misa informed, pulling herself up to a sitting position and Trinity continued going over her schedule.
"Hey, Rem-san, can you explain to Misa-san how you know me again? I think she may need to know this," Trinity said and Rem nodded her head, Misa glancing back and forth between them.
"Wait, what?"
"Trinity is a distant relative of mine," Rem explained and Misa's jaw dropped.
"No way! That is so neat! I never knew shinigamis could have families!"
"Neither did I up until she told me that bit of information," Trinity agreed and lifted another school paper to her eye level.
"Yes, Trinity and I are distant relatives; therefore she is able to see me as well as any other shinigami without having to touch a Death Note. And, that also makes you partly shinigami, Trinity."
"So that's why I kept seeing weird numbers above people's heads," Trinity meant to joke but Misa, (being Misa) took her seriously.
"Those are people's life spans. You can see their names too but if they own a Death Note, you can't see their life span," the blond needlessly informed and Trinity sweat dropped.
"Yes, Misa-san, I know," she smiled and Misa clapped her hands together.
"Hey, Trinity-chan, does this mean you have the Eyes since you're only half shinigami?"
"Yes, but. I can't see your life span because you possess a Death Note."
"That is so neat! But, why do you look so human? And I could easily see you without touching any Death Note...do you have one?"
"No," Trinity repeated and stood up, "I don't have one since I'm only half shinigami, which means I'm also half human. Actually, I believe I'm more human than shinigami...but...Rem-san informed me, there's only one way I could die."
"Huh? How's that?"
"The only way to kill a shinigami, Misa," Rem began and Trinity leaned against the door frame, ready to leave.
"I'm going to bed," she said quietly and Misa bade her good night.
"Make them fall in love with a human."
Trinity left the room, wandering down the hall to the room Misa allowed her to keep as long as she lived there and slipped into her pajamas.
The only way to kill a shinigami...make them fall in love with a human...good luck finding one that is willing to do that, Trinity thought bitterly and rested her hands behind her head before closing her eyes, awaiting for sleep to whisk her away.
Two Days Later...
"Yagami, Light-kun is needed in the office," the chubby secretary called over the speaker and Light Yagami perked up in class.
"What? Why?"
"Here's a pass, Yagami-kun, go ahead," the professor instructed and Light shrugged his shoulders, sighing, and then strode out of the classroom towards the office.
What's going on now? The last thing I need at the moment is some type of school issue...I've got enough to occupy my mind...
Light opened the door, the red haired secretary turning to him and Light handed her the pass.
"Have a seat, please, Yagami-kun."
"What's going on, exactly?"
A student turned her head, her topaz eyes glazing over him and he caught her eye, recognizing the red and black streaked hair and peculiar way of dressing.
That girl...I saw her a few days ago...
"Yagami-kun, I was hoping you'd be kind enough to be Amane-san's guide for the next few days? She's new here," the secretary asked and Trinity clicked it together.
I recognize him...he's that dark-secret-Friday-night-dinner guy...
"Sure," Light answered and focused on the new student, "what's your first class?"
"History," she replied shortly, her voice somewhat flat and Light opened the door for her, "thank you."
"That's a few doors down from where I am so, just follow me. What's your name?"
"Trinity."
"Interesting name..."
"Thanks. What's yours?" she asked, even though she didn't need to.
Moon Yagami...even more interesting than mine...
"Yagami, Light."
"Then why does it say-" Trinity pointed above his head and then stopped herself, feeling like a total freak show.
There is no way I can let anyone but Amane-san and Rem-san know I'm a freaking half breed...
"What are you talking about?" Light inquired, looking genuinely confused and Trinity rubbed the back of her neck, her red and black hair swaying.
"Nothing, I misread a poster," she lied horribly and Light felt his eyes darken.
There is something different about this girl...something isn't right about her...
"Well, here we are," Light gestured towards the classroom and Trinity shifted the shoulder strap of her bag, making the clump of key chains dangling from the zipper clink in unison.
"Thank you, Yagami-kun," she bowed and Light nodded.
"I'll meet you here after class, sound good?"
"Yeah, sounds great!" Trinity smiled softly and walked into the classroom, Light departing as well, his now dark eyes glaring down at the carpet.
Something isn't right about her...
Yagami, Light...why can't I see your life span? Why do you have a Death Note, and how did you get one to begin with?
I'm sorry if this first chapter was a bit of a drag...I thought it was but...need background before you get into it right? XD Next chapter...not sure when. I'm sure other readers are irritated with me because I am neglecting my other stories...-bows- I'm sorry! Well, reviews make me happy as you all know! Hope you enjoyed it! :D
