AN: To be honest I only briefly skimmed the manga and watch the anime in glimpses. Misa's character is so multifaceted and so it is her around which my first DN fanfiction is centered. As per my tradition when starting on a new series, this will be angst. R&R.
With Him
A Death Note One Shot
She was with him.
He was talking in her direction, but he wasn't talking to her. The black, skeletal figure hovered in between them and it was he who commanded Light's attention. Rem touched her shoulder comfortingly and for a second it was all okay. At least they were together. To be with him was all she had ever wanted.
Once more, she was with him.
He was smiling next to her, but it wasn't she to whom he was smiling. The fragile, hunched-over boy to whom the smile was directed didn't even appreciate the gesture. Instead he had wandered off from their group and was staring at a pastry in a store's window. Rem offered her a smile and she let herself hope. At least she could be by his side. To be with him was all she had ever wanted.
She was with him again.
He wasn't there physically, but every second of confinement was filled with thoughts of him. In the cold, dark room it wasn't the interrogating voice that was her companion. Tearfully she whispered her orders to Rem. As her memories began to fade the only lingering thought was the one that told her this was for him. In sacrificing herself she was with him once again. To be with him was all she had ever wanted.
One last time, she was with him.
Standing at the edge of the building she looked down at the streets below. Cars flew past, people walked by. None of them looked up, none of them saw her. No one ever saw her. Not even the person whose attention she had wanted most. She closed her eyes and let go of everything; ignoring the wind whipping around her falling body. She let herself join him once more.
She was with him. She would always be with him. And that was all she had ever wanted.
AN: For Harmony.
