A.N: Finally~ the prolog to The Thief and The Detective: 2, Secrets and Lies. Why this chapter title, you ask? Well, I have been plotting a plot twist, and I have now written it. It is a twist that brings new light and I'd like to thank my lovely reviewer for giving me this idea of the plot twist early in The Thief and The Detective. This picks up exactly where The Thief and The Detective left off, and if you haven't read The Thief and The Detective, you probably should read that first... I don't own Death Note, I only own my OCs and the plot that isn't featured in the movies. I hope you enjoy, and please review!
KittyPersona: I would have definitely done that ending scene, I really loved it too, but I figured that it was too personal between Kira and L to fit in Candy.

Since I visited the shinigami king, A has been taking me every Saturday to the shinigami realm. Usually only for an hour or so, L has been keeping close tabs on me even with the watch.
I wondered if he still suspected me to be Kira, or perhaps the second Kira even though Misa hasn't entered into the case yet. I liked my shinigami form, especially my wings. They were like a mix of moth wings and bat wings, fuzzy and yet not furry.
I stroked my own wings, as I sat down in front of A in the shinigami realm. I began thinking, of how I was in a world that originally did not have me in it. And how I shouldn't have anything to my name, shouldn't I?
I shouldn't have the Death Note manga that I stole, my keys, and definitely not my apartment and everything in it that belonged to me. Since, this was the Death Note world, correct?
Did I exist in the Death Note world before I came into it?" He blinked a couple of times, and cocked his head to one side. "What gave you that idea?"
"Well, if I didn't exist in this world, why do I have belongings and an apartment?" He blinked a couple more times, and sighed in defeat. "The truth is, that the you that existed in this world died the night that you entered into this world." I raised an eyebrow.
"Why didn't you just tell me that in the beginning?" He shrugged. "The shinigami king didn't think it would be good for you to think Olivia knew who you were, and also, the other you and the other Olivia had a better relationship than you and your Olivia." I stared at him, my face contorted in a mixture of disbelief and hurt.
He had lied to me, just to keep me from making contact with my sister. I was just a puppet. A puppet that couldn't see her own strings, until now. I took a deep breath, realizing that I hadn't been breathing while the shock sunk in.
"You fucking liar..." A stared at me, ashamed, and worried for me. "What else have you been lying about?" A sighed, and shook his head. "I'm going to get in trouble with the shinigami king..."
"I don't really care right now, I should know!" I hissed at him, trying to hold back my anger. "You're able to manipulate this world, and get involved in the Kira case with no consequences. I chose not to tell you this, it was my choice, I'm sorry. I didn't know what would happen if you knew what kind of power you had, you're one of a kind, I didn't know you when I first started stalking you and met you and I based you on the thief stereotype. Doing everything you can to get what you want. And I asked the shinigami king to go along with it. I'm sorry."
I slapped him. Hard. And scratched him in the process with my shinigami nails. I got up, and ran to the portal between the shinigami and the human realm. I jumped, and I flew down into it. I hadn't done that before, I wondered if I would go into Japan as a human or a shinigami.
I discovered the answer to that question when I suddenly was in my apartment, on my bed and on my back. I jumped up, A was nowhere to be seen. I didn't know whether or not to be happy over that fact. I needed comfort, someone to listen, someone to give me advice on what to do now.
L was out of the picture, though I knew now that I had the power to tell him everything, I didn't know yet if I wanted to risk that. I did, after all, tell him that I would tell him everything after the Kira case. Perhaps it was best to tell him afterwards, instead of now in the middle of everything. No, I couldn't run to him for comfort...
Beyond.
He was my best friend, and though he didn't know everything, he knew enough for me to tell him why I was upset. I got ready, and I headed for the bus station. I was soon at the facility where they held Beyond, and I practically ran through the doors. I glared down at the watch, how was I going to get around it? L probably wasn't listening, it was just a cautionary, but I still couldn't risk it. What would I do?
"Hi, my name's Lolita, I've been here before. I'm here to visit Beyond Birthday?" The receptionist looked up from her computer, and comprehended what I just said. Her face suddenly filled up with sadness, and shook her head.
"I'm so sorry ma'am, but Beyond Birthday has died. He suffered from a heart attack today, there's suspicion that he's a victim of the infamous Kira. Again, I am sorry." I was shocked for a moment, twice in one day. But it didn't phase me, I knew that he would become a shinigami...
But that meant going back to the shinigami realm, somehow. But A would be there and try to make things right with me. Oh, God, what am I going to do? I sighed, and nodded at the woman behind the desk.
"Yes, well, it was bound to happen, he was a brilliant but insane mastermind of murder. He wouldn't be overlooked by such a 'god' like Kira." She smiled. "So you are a supporter of Kira also?" She obviously didn't catch onto my sarcasm, I looked over at her with almost disgust.
"No, I despise him. He's the scum of the earth, and he's the one who should die. Good day, ma'am."
The doors of the facility closed behind me, the receptionist had been shocked by my answer, and I promptly walked away to the exit. I needed to see Beyond, I needed to talk to him.
And that's when everything went black.
