Chapter 1: The new recruit (No more little Miss. Obedient)

(Misa's P.O.V)

I sat in my bedroom with my laptop in front of me; searching through the sites and pages of fan mail from my model websites. I sighed as I checked the 50th letter that night, sometimes it was hard being famous.

I shut my laptop and looked over to the side of my bed where my shinigami, Rem, was. Rem had her eyes closed, and I assumed that she was sleeping. It really gets annoying when she follows me around all of the time, but thank Kami that she was a female shinigami right?

I sat up in my bed and stretched a little bit while yawning. I had put my long blonde hair up into two even pigtails while wearing my FAVORITE black cammie and silk black pajama pants. I twisted a piece of my hair around my index finger and rolled my eyes up to look at the ceiling...what. A. Bore!

"Hey Rem?" I asked.

Rem opened her eyes and looked at me in the scary way that I have grown use to.

"Have you figured out that guy, Ryuzaki's, name yet?" I asked. Yes, I still remembered what my darling Light had asked Rem and I to do for him, in exchange for my happiness to be with him. It's been a year and a half since we've been together. Even if our relationship has had its ups and down. I sighed at the thought of him congradulating me, hugging me, and telling me all of the wonderful things that I've done. That's all what I've looked for in a guy actually.

Misa's Daydream:

Light, Rem, Ryul, and Misa were all at Ryuzaki's private funeral. Misa looked at Light and saw that he had that fake sad face on, but she knew better than to believe a face like that.

Afterwards, after the funeral, Light took Misa by the arm and led her under a tree. He had asked Rem and Ryuk to stay behind and let them have their privacy, and they agreed.

"What is it Light darling?" Misa would ask. Light would stare into Misa's eyes lovingly before bringing her into a tight embrace.

"Thank you Misa, I love you," Light would say. Misa tensed up, but relaxed and stayed in his embrace. Sooner or later, it would start to rain. but neither of them would care, they just stayed like that for as long as it was needed.

End of daydream:

I blushed and giggled at the scean. It was just so perfect. I was so caught up in my little world, that I hadn't heard what Rem was saying.

"Misa? Are you listening?" Rem asked.

I looked at her and smiled sheepishly. "Oh, of course Rem. Something about Misa's hair right? Cause Misa don't know if she should keep it like this," I said, while touching the curled ends of one of my pigtails.

Rem shook her head and looked at me. "I was answering you question Misa. No, I haven't found out his name yet. The only way that I could would be to see his face, or at least a recent picture of him, and because of you, I can't get anywhere near him, mostly because I have to stick around you and that you aren't allowed in the building or near Ryuzaki."

I nodded and sighed, 'Light is really going to be mad at Misa now.' I turned to look at my alarm clock, it was 12:00 a.m., and I had a photo shoot tomorrow. I yawned and crawled under my maroon colored covers and shut of the light. But I still had my lamp on.

"Well, night Rem. I have a photo shoot tomorrow," I said, then clicked off the lamp's light.

(Next Day: Normal P.O.V)

Light was walking towards HQ as usual to his everyday routine. He sighed as he looked around and saw all of the happy looking faces around him. He scoffed in his mind and ignored them.

Light shut his eyes and walked further ahead, not acknowledging anyone around him, so when he walked, he walked in a beeline from where he once stood, to where he was going.

Soon or later, Light soon ran into somebody. He rubbed his nose and apologized, but stiffened when he saw who it was.

"Good morning Light."

Light nodded at the person at the person and bowed respectively. "Morning Ryuzaki," he said.

Ryuzaki nodded and waited for Light to start walking before continuing to walk himself, for it was abvious that they were headed for the same place.

"So how's your morning so far Light?" Ryuzqaki asked.

Light shrugged and kept walking, "Its been fine so far." The two of them then walked in silence for the rest of the way there. Light looked at Ryuzaki from the corner of his eye and glared at him, walking there like he had no care in the world, which was probably true, except for his care about solving the 'Kira' case, with his jacked up (and cute) raven black hair and tired obisan eyes. 'He's everywhere,' Light thought as the two of them trudged along.

(At HQ)

Ryuzaki and Light entered through the large building, not a word has been said ever since they had met only about an hour before.

Once the two had entered the room, theyy had seen everyone slumped down on the couch, either drinking coffee ot hoining in the conversation being held, only the sound of the door closing was heard.

Light's father, Mra. Yagami, turned and looked at the two, he sighed and headed over to them, the conversation at the coffee table seemed to be over.

"Light, Ryuzaki, just in time," Mr. Yagami siad. The two of them looked at each other and then vack at Mr. Yagami.

"Just in time for what?" Ryuzaki asked.

Mr. Yagami raised one of his eyebrows and stared at the two. "You don't remember?" he asked, "we have a anew recruit today Ryuuzaki."

Ryuzaki looked unaffected by this news, "Oh," he said, "Then I must have forgotten. Is it that day already?" he asked.

Now Light, for once, was obviously confused. "What new recruit?" Light asked, making Mr. Yagami and Ryuzaki look at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry Light," Ryuzaki said. "We had forgotten to tell you about this. It was about a few weeks ago, as I seem to recall. We had asked a detective agency yo send us one of their top detectives to help with the 'Kira' investigation. Not that we need help, but it would be smart to get another person to get to places and see who 'Kira' really is...is isn't."

Light nodded and swallowed silently whatever was left in his mouth. 'Another one?' Light thought. 'THis whole thing may be getting harder everyday.'

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Literally ever hed in that room had turned towards the door as another set of knocks came through and echoed through the halls behind it.

Light walked towards the door and placed his hand on the handle. He turned to look at everyone else before slowly turning the doorknob.

Light opened the door slowly and peaked outside into the hallways, but what he saw what not what he was expecting.

Standing there was a young girl, probably about his and Ryuzaki's age. Her hair was black and her bangs were long with a golden headband on the middle of the top of her head, and Light suspected that she was wearing her hair up in the back. She wore a black shirt under a black hoodie. She was also wearing a short, black skirt with tight dark blue jeans inderneath with black dress shoes and stripy black and gray socks. Her eyes were black, and the only make-up noticeable on her face from where Light was looking was her light brown lipstick. Her ears had jade studs in them, and her expression made her look calm and kind.

"Hello," the girl said to Light. Light nodded and watched as the gilr reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper and read it over before looking back up to Light.

"Um, I'm here for an investigation with a Mr..." the girl trailed off as she looked at the paper once again, "...L Ryuzaki?" she finished. Light looked inside and at Ryuzaki, who nodded and Light turned back to the girl before opening the door all of the way and letting her pass, while looking at the back of her head, where he had seen that there, her hair was just really short, not put up.

"Hello, the girl has said again. Everyone ws staring at her, even Ryuzaki. "I believe that I have been sent here to help with an investigation that involves 'Kira'. I will follow any rules given and I will respect everyone's privacy. I will also follow the rule to only be adressed by my nickname or last name, and I am not to say my real name to any of you unless told to do so by the leader of this investigation." The girl stood there after her speech, her back straight and her face proud.

Mr. Yagami sighed and placed his hand on his forehead. "I'm sorry Miss, but there seems to be a misunderstanding." THe girl's face dropped as Mr. Yagami continued. "We had asked for a professional from the association of investigation...not a young girl, no offense."

The girl tensed up at that last sentence and Light could see that her fists were clenched. Her shoulders were shaking and her head was bent forward.

"I'm sorry Miss, but you'll have to lea..." Mr. Yagami started, buit stopped when the girl had shot her head up.

"And yet I'm offended," she had said quietly. Everyone was silent, even if she hadn't shouted; her voice had sounded terribly scary.

The girl had a crushed look on hr face as she stared into Mr. Yagami's eyes. "All my life, I've always been told that I can't do anything. Maybe it's because I'm too small, or I'm too young or too fragile, and I'm sick of it!"

Ryuzaki's eyes were fixed on the young girl iin interest as he sipped his sugar infested tea calmly.

"I can't stand the fact that people think that I'm different, but I'm not. I'm just like normal people. I want to do something worthwhile. I want to make everything seem all right again. And I can't do that if you don't accept me, even just tnhis once." THe young gilr stopped talking for a while before her eyes started to water. "Please, I can't do this on my own. I need this chance. Please..." then girl then wrapped her arms around herself and looked down and away from everyone in the room. No sobbing was heard.

Everyone ws more silent than a graveyard. Ryuzaki picked up his teaspoon and started to playfully stir his tea with it as he studied the young girl.

"Tell me Miss," Ryuzaki started, making everyone ion the room look at him, including the young girl. "What is your name?" he asked.

"I-I was told not to give give any of you my real name, so you may call me by my nickname, La-La," the young girl said. Ryuzaki nodded and tapped his teaspoon against the small, porcline teacup.

"Tell me La-La, what can you accomplish here?" Ryuzaki asked, his question sounding like a job interview.

La-La licked her lips and took a minute to think before answering. "When I was in high-school, I was in the computer club and I spend mostly my entire life on computers. I now how to recover lost or erased information and I can also hack into any computer that has sent a message to my computer, or any computer I use." La-La then stood up straight with her hands folded behind her back. "I can also decode messages and trace the location or computer for any website. I'm sure that I can be of great use in this investigation."

Ryuzaki had nodded the entire time she was talking. Mr. Yagami and Light were eyeing him, looking for any clues to his final decision.

After a minute of silence, Ryuzaki placed his teacup down with a soft clank and looked at La-La for a little bit longer. "Well then La-La," he said. Light clenched his fist, while Ryuk was behind him, laughing, for he seemed to already know the answer.

"Welcome to the investigation," Ryuzaki finally said. La-La's eyes lit up as everyone else in the room either glared at Ryuzaki or looked at him in disbelief.

"WHAT!"

(With Misa)

Misa was walking towards Light's house with Rem following close behind. Misa was in deep thought. She picked up her phone and dialed Light's number, or at least the number on the cell phone that she had given him to use.

Misa put her phone to her ear and waited while it was connecting to Light's phone. It rang about five times before it had picked up.

Misa gasped and smiled, 'Is it really him this time?'

(-Beep-) "Hello, you've reached Light Yagami. I'll call you back." (-Beep-)

Misa's face dropped as she looked at Light's name on the caller ID before she had sadly shut her phone. She looked at Rem with teary eyes. "Why doesn't he pick up Rem?" she asked her.

Rem looked at Misa sadly as she hung her head and stared at her shoes.

'It's not fair!' Misa thought angrily. 'He rarely calls me and when I call him, he never picks up. If he loves me he should be with me!'

Misa then started to get more tears in her eyes. 'This has been going on long enough. If he won't pay attention to me, then I won't pay attetion to him! I've given up almost everything for him! Now it's time for him to give up some things for me. As of now...' Misa wiped her eyes and turned around, walking passed Rem.

"Misa, what's the matter?" Rem had asked. Misa shook her head and continued to stomp down the street, in the opposite direction of Light's place. She stopped once to look back and mentally cursed at his face in her mind. She turned again and continued to walk.

'...No more little Miss. Obedient.'
