Author Notes: I know I should be updating Rebirth . I'm sorry! The Shinigami known as writer's block has me and the only thing I seem to be able to write right now is shoujo-ai. This will probably stay a one-shot but if my shoujo-ai muse hugs me again then there might be some other couples appearing. I hope you enjoy reading this 8D. Constructive crit and reviews welcome.

Strawberry and lilly ABCs: MisaxSayu
Angel
It was on that day that Sayu finally knew what a real angel looked like. To Sayu, Misa Amane was the angel of gothic-Lolita, even if she could see the model's underwear whenever she walked up the stairs, her smile seemed pure and beautiful.
Baka!
Every day before she went to sleep, Sayu called herself a fool. Her heart was trembling for another each minute.
Her heart beat drummed for her brother's girlfriend.
Clothes
One night, when Misa had come to see Light and had decided to stay once he left, Sayu had posed for Misa wearing similar clothes to that of the model's. Misa had laughed and clapped, taking a picture with her camera phone to upload later.
"You know, you'd look even cuter in sweet-Lolita."
Dreams
Everyone dreams about their life, no matter how weird it'll seem in the morning. Sayu dreams of lacy dresses made of black and three spoken words while Misa's are of death, notebooks and of a heart warming laugh. When they wake up together the only thing Misa mentions is this, "I love you."
A warm laugh of happiness and the same words spoken back is what she receives.
Empty
Ever since Misa Amane had killed herself, Matsuda had noticed a change in Sayu. He does not mention it to anyone, only quietly speaks to her when her Mother is not nearby.
Both of them lost someone dear to them on the day Misa stood on the bridge with one goal in mind.
Five
Sayu can count on one hand how many times Misa Amane has kissed her on the lips.
One: When she was drunk on Halloween's eve.
Two: The fourth time Light had told her to leave him alone and Sayu had tried to comfort the crying model.
Three: Drunk again but this time on New Year's eve.
Fourth: Sayu had been rehearsing for a school play and Misa was helping and playing the Prince's role.
Fifth: Misa had confessed her feelings behind a tree after dragging Sayu behind it and kissing her for two minutes.
Now Sayu hopes she'll run out of fingers and toes when she counts next time.
Games
When their friend Matsuda suggested playing strip-poker for a laugh Sayu and Misa agreed to do it for awhile, Matsuda ended up with only a sock left and the two girls decided to start a new round in their room once Matsuda was gone.
Hearts
Misa hated candy hearts, they tasted too chalky. But her mind was changed when the clock struck midnight on Valentine's eve and Sayu had kissed her, pushing a small chalky heart into her mouth. Misa didn't mind Sayu flavoured candy hearts.
Ink
Neither of the girls liked tattoos, it looked too painful. But on their first anniversary Sayu begged her brother to do something for her. Thirty minutes later and Misa waiting in the living room, Sayu entered, her left arm adorned with a felt-tip heart with Misa's name in the middle.
"Now they can see I belong to you."
Even now after a few months, you can still see traces of the red ink.
Jealousy
Misa had told her about the Death Note and Rem, and Sayu didn't mind if she was dating a murderess. But when Misa was asleep in their room and Sayu - who had touched the Death Note - saw the skeletal Shinigami, she would whisper an apology.
Sayu had once known the pain of unrequited love.
Kitty
"Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty." Sayu giggled at the half-glare, half-embarrassed look she got from Misa as the model tried to look comfortable in the Cat Woman costume, but the full body suit was becoming more and more hot in the warm room.
"What are you meant to be, Sayu-Chan?"
"Well, if there's a Cat Woman then shouldn't there be a Wolf Woman?"
"Ahh, yes. The perfect girlfriend for a sneaky cat."
Love
Love seemed so fake in this day and age. It was just a word to most people, death seemed much stronger than the emotion these days. But when Mrs. Yagami watched her daughter and Misa talk together, she could see the same look she had once given to Light and Sayu's father when she was their age on both of their faces.
It was nice to finally see love rise up once again.
Model
Whenever felt Sayu felt lonely, she would pick up the latest fashion magazines and look for a picture of Misa.
Whenever Misa was lonely, she would open up a small photo album and look at pictures she had taken when Sayu privately modelled for her.
Name
Sayu Yagami. The pen dropped to the ground as tears ran down Misa's face, what in Shingami's name had she done? Her eyes watched the ticking hands of the clock in pain as full realisation of what she had done hit her. But what else could she do? Sayu had found out and was going to tell the police, not even Light knew what Misa had done for their protection.
The hand counting the seconds reached forty.
Outside
When Misa Amane died she did not realise what MU meant, now she does. She had once believed MU was a place where she would cease to exist, but really it was just like a supernatural story, Misa was a ghost. Every night she would stand outside Sayu's window, watching the girl live her life in happiness. When Sayu was asleep she would whisper the three words she had never said to the younger Yagami, she had always shouted them at Light.
Pain
Sayu knew Misa was keeping a painful secret, when it was night time the elder of the two would toss and turn, crying in her nightmares, but Misa would never tell her the truth behind them.
Misa wished Sayu would stop asking her because one day she would slip up, would become so upset she would end up shoving the notebook into Sayu's hands and Misa did not want that, Sayu was still kept in an innocent darkness about the second Kira's crimes.
Quest
Alright, maybe it wasn't really a quest but it was certainly like battling a ferocious dragon! Misa placed the picnic basket down onto Sayu's bed and pulled out a chocolate cake, handing it to Sayu.
"Come on, eat up! There's plenty more cakes to be had." Misa pulled out an éclair and began to eat it with a revenge filled relish. She was like the warrior coming to slay the L-dragon in a way she knew would anger the Detective since Watari refused to buy anymore cakes for a week or two. Misa's eyes trailed over to Sayu, and she certainly wouldn't mind Sayu being her healer in their two player party.
Rem
Out of all the people Misa had dated, the only one Rem didn't mind was Sayu Yagami. The girl was the complete opposite to her brother in most aspects and cared for Misa in almost the same way as Rem herself did. Of course, if Sayu ever hurt Rem's Mistress, she'd need to take care to check she wasn't having a heart attack every five minutes.
Spiders
One day Misa found a spider on their bed, she screamed instantly and Sayu hurried upstairs. She laughed when she finally saw the reason for the scream, it was barely the size of her fingernail! But Misa continued to shake at the sight of it and with a sigh, Sayu used one of her paint-pots to pick it up and take it outside.
"I just don't like the thought of one suddenly crawling on me."
Now whenever Sayu is in a teasing mood she'll run her fingers over Misa's neck just like a spiders crawl.
Time
It had been five months since Kira died, everyone had moved on and Misa and Sayu had got together. But as another five months passed and as Ryuk watched the happy couple he noted the numbers above Amane's head. He bit into the dried Shinigami world apple. Ten seconds passed and reached zero, and a body clothed in a black dress fell to the ground lifeless.
Useless
Tears leaked from her closed eyes, she had been no help at all! She couldn't save Light, her own brother! Let alone her lover Misa, L had captured both of them before she had a chance to change their mind, to stop them from using the notebook. All she could do now was to hide the book of death from her father - from everyone - to ensure the two most important people in her life continued to live.
Vain
Sometimes Misa's vanity really exhausted Sayu. The model would beg for the girl's compliments every hour of the day, but Sayu knew that Misa was secretly unconfident so she relented to her demands. She only got upset when Misa would ask for Lights opinion as well.
Watching
L could easily watch several monitors at the same time, his attention only shifting to one whenever something interesting happened, tonight was one of those nights. His eyebrows were raised in surprise as he watched Light's younger sister and his girlfriend sneaking up to Sayu's bedroom, softly trading kisses with each other as they passed Light's room. L shrugged in disinterest, it had nothing to do with the Kira case. His eyes turned to the monitor for Light's room and his interest was piqued when he saw Light begin to get changed.
X-ray
Sayu wonders sometimes if Misa's Shinigami eyes were like x-ray glasses that could see through clothing.
Yawn
Misa liked to watch Sayu yawn, she would stretch like a cat and remind Misa so much of a little kitten that she just wanted to pet Sayu's head. Then Sayu would lie her head on the model's lap with another yawn.
Zealous
Misa's manager would always complain about her laziness whenever she had to do a romantic scene in an advert or movie. The model would merely stick her tongue out and whisper under her breath, "Why would Misa Misa wish to waste time kissing someone else when she has Sayu-Chan to kiss?"
The only person she would be zealous for was Sayu.
