Early the next morning... maybe a little too early. As Raito rolled his eyes over to glance at the brightly glowing digital clock beside his bed. It would read 3:47am. A little too early to be getting up to do anything. Closing his eyes again, maybe he could try to fall back to sleep. It seemed he could only sleep a couple hours at a time only to wake back up again.

"Yagami-kun has horrible sleeping habits."

Popping his eyes back open. Laying on his back as he starred directly up at the ceiling. Only to see another pair of eyes looking back down at him. The late Ryuuzaki was now sitting upside down on his ceiling and watching him. Legs pulled in close as they normally where and biting at the tip of his thumb with interest.

"Look who's talking. The only time you ever got sleep was when I managed to grab you away with that ridiculous chain."

"Oh? Yagami-kun recalls the chain. This chain?"

And out of nowhere, literally, as Ryuuzaki reached behind him and pulled out the familiar set of nightmarish cuffs. The weight of it seemed real enough as they where dropped from the ceiling and onto the bed. It was this harsh reality which caused the police chief's son to grab a handful of blankets and recoil back towards his headboard. Starring at the chain then looking back up to the detective.

"They're... real?"

"Why wouldn't they be, Yagami-kun?"

Reaching out with a cautious shaky hand, giving the handcuffs as weird little jab with his finger. Finding the metal restraints to be very real indeed. Turning his head to look back up at the ceiling, finding it vacant then hearing a heart stopping 'click' noise.

"Huh? What! Why did you do that?!"

"Shh Yagami-kun. Everyone's asleep."

"Get the stupid cuffs off!"

"Where's the fun in that?"

Now pulling and wiggling his arm around, Raito had found it useless to try and escape. Giving a sigh as he just sat up in bed and looked to the other with an un amused stare.

"This isn't funny Ryuuzaki."

"Correction."

The detective would state. Pointing a finger 'matter of factly' as he moved around and sat towards the end of the bed. Having himself facing the other with a bit of a grin.

"It's a little funny, Yagami-kun."

"Yea well 'ha ha' now take them off."

"Yagami-kun should learn to say please."

Raito had no other choice but to keep himself seated. Watching as he stood up and it looked as if... he was... undressing?

"Ryuuzaki?!"

"Yes, Yagami-kun?"

"Wh-what the hell? What are you doing?"

"Yagami-kun did not specify what to take off... so..."

"I mean the damn handcuffs! And you know it!"

"You're no fun anymore Yagami-kun..."

Needless to say it was a sleepless night. The cuffs where in fact removed, but the redness around his left wrist was still there. As a sort of reminder most likely. the morning was rough to get through. It was hard to concentrate on anything. Thankfully enough, the afternoon would come quickly. Which only meant one thing.

"You have a call."

This would be Matsuda, acting as Raito's personal sort of secretary.

"Who is it Matsuda-san?"

"It's Misa-chan. Calling about lunch?"

"Tell her I'll meet her out front."

She was annoying, but did serve a purpose from time to time. Still, she could at least try to not be so annoying. He would debate if he should mention to her about yesterday's events, but that would bring on a whole different conversation. And today, Raito didn't think he could deal with too much talking.

"Ah! Raito-kun!"

As he stepped out, the first thing he saw was black lace. The young blonde's trademarked lolita look. Probably one of the most obnoxious things he's ever seen.

"Misa-chan. You look beautiful."

And so would start the fake lunch date. False smiles and empty compliments. Anything she wanted to hear, he would say it. Anything to keep her happy and quiet.

"Oh, Raito-kun is so sweet to his Misa."

"Of course. So, where is lunch today?"

"Misa has nothing in mind. Maybe the coffee shop around the corner?"

"Oh great."

Feeling as the girl would latch herself around his arm. If Raito could remember correctly, this would be the same coffee shop which Ryuuzaki was so accustomed to. Always ordering desserts from it's bakery. He just had a bad feeling.

"Is Raito-kun ok? He looks sleepy."

"I had a rough night..."

"Oh? Working?"

"I just couldn't get much sleep, that's all. But I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

"Raito-kun could sleep at Misa's! Misa will make sure Raito-kun gets a good sleep!"

The voice was high pitched nearly every time she spoke. It was a surprise that glass didn't shatter to pieces every time she opened her mouth. Thankfully, glass didn't break though. This particular coffee shop had large windows and a huge dessert display case. The glass would have made a horrible bloody mess.

"So? Does Raito-kun want to sleep with Misa?"

That caused a different reaction then what she was expecting. Watching as he nearly choked on his cup of coffee.

"A little straight forward isn't she, Yagami-kun?"

Again. More choking on the coffee. Now actually sitting on the table itself was Ryuuzaki. Legs folding in what could be considered a fairly normal fashion. Looking from him, then to Misa who apparently didn't notice they had a guest.

"Is Raito-kun alright?"

"Uh... y-yes! The uh, coffee was just a little hot. That's all. I'm fine."

The dearly departed couldn't help but give a laugh. Looking to Raito who tried his best not to stare at him. Doing so would cause Misa to question his weird actions.

"She can't see me Yagami-kun. She can't even hear me or feel me. Look."

Arching a brow, Raito would look. Seeing him roll up one sleeve, reach back, and let out what looked to be one hell of a hard bitch slap. Sadly for Ryuuzaki, his hand only passed right trough. But it did feel good to do it anyway.

". . .!!"

"Raito-kun?"

"Huh?"

"Raito-kun looks funny. You're eye got all big like. Are you sure you're ok?"

"Uh, yea. I'm fine. Just um... trying to wake up a little bit. Yea."

Rolling his sleeve back down as a hand went through as mess of dark hair. He sighed, looking over to Raito who starred at him with a bit of surprise.

"I apologize Yagami-kun. I've always wanted to do that."

This caused him to laugh, making Misa think that maybe her poor Raito should probably take the afternoon off or something. He surely wasn't acting normal.

"Now what's wrong Raito-kun? Why are you laughing?"

"I'm sorry Misa-chan. Must be my nerves I guess, things haven't been going too well."

"But I thought Raito-kun would be happy after that freaky pervert died?"

". . ."

Misa gave a pout, leaning forward as she took a sip of her milkshake. Raito blinked, and looked to Ryuuzaki who still sat on the end of the table. Looking to see his eyes get a tad wider, if that was possible.

"Freaky pervert?"

". . ."

"Does Yagami-kun think I'm a freaky pervert?"

". . ."

His eyes would follow as Ryuuzaki stood up on the table, then taking a step down onto the seat which Misa was in. Looking as if he was going to sit himself down next her, only... not. Sitting himself down, inside of her, was more like it.

"Uh... Misa-chan?"

Tilting his head a bit, she had to have felt that at least. The girl only blinked and cocked her head as Raito did. Smiling in a strange way and gave a wink.

"I always wondered what it would be like to be a girl, Yagami-kun."

"Oh dear god..."

The newly possessed Misa would lean forward, taking a sip of the milkshake and waved a hand for a waitress to step over.

"What the heck are you doing? You can't communicate with other people like this!"

"Yes can I help you?"

Raito paused as the waitress walked over and smiled. Looking to him and to his apparent date. The inhabited Misa would smile cutely, doing weird girlish things as she twirled blonde hair around her finger.

"Can I please have one of each dessert in the display case over there?"

"One, of each? Miss?"

"Oh yes. They all just look so yummy I simply cannot decide. One of each please."

"Um, alright then. And sir, anything for you?"

Raito starred, watching as the Ryuuzakified Misa would begin to stack up the coffee creamers. Then sigh, just shaking his head and waving for the waitress to go get the order.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Ryuuzaki?"

"Playing with creamers Yagami-kun."

"Not that, the other thing. Get out of her body right now."

"I don't plan to stay in here for very long Yagami-kun. Just until my desserts are done. And Misa-chan here explodes from inside."

"What? Really?"

"Sadly no, not really. In my usual form I cannot enjoy simple things like my sweets. I don't feel anything, I don't get hungry, I don't taste. It's sad. The only way I can do or feel anything is if I borrow someone for a little bit. Yagami-kun, you understand this yes?"

"I think I get the idea. You need to possess someone in order to experience things like you would if you where alive?"

"Correct as always Yagami-kun."

"What will happen to Misa-chan then?"

"She can't see, here, or even feel me. Misa-chan will have no recollection of my presence within her. Though she may have a bit of a stomach ache afterwards... You should watch yourself around her Yagami-kun."

"I'll keep that in mind. But why can't she see you or anything?"

"Because I am only here for you Yagami-kun."

It took three waitresses to haul over the variety of sweets and desserts from the display case. The look on the possessed blonde's face was almost heart warming. Who else could get so utterly excited about food then Ryuuzaki?

"Will that be all Miss?"

". . ."

The girl was drooling over food. Raito just smiled and nodded.

"Yes this is excellent, thank you very much."

The waitresses would all sort of look at each other for a second and walk off. Raito sat across the table, taking a sip of coffee as he leaned back and just watched. It looked like Mis, but the mannerisms where just all wrong. The fork placement in her hand. The way everything was being picked at little bits at a time.

"Is it good?"

"M'hm. Very much so Yagami-kun."

"Is it any different?"

"Oh yes. One thing I've noticed after my passing Yagami-kun, if that everything around you seems much more detailed. At first I noticed colors where a lot brighter, and you can hear things that no one else would even imagine. And now, tastes are even more vibrant."

"Are you really going to eat all of that?"

"Of course. It's not like I can get full or anything Yagami-kun."

"You... won't get full? But what about -?"

"Like I said Yagami-kun. Misa-chan will have a little stomach ache once I'm done with her."

One overly priced bill minus a hungry dead man, and you get a very sick Misa. Leaving from the coffee shop, the poor girl merely dragged her feet as she clung onto Raito's arm. Not only in her usual lovey way, but to stand up.

"Misa doesn't feel so good..."

"I can't imagine why. Maybe you should go get some rest?"

"Hmm... is Raito-kun going to stop by later?"

"Depending if I have a lot of work to finish or not. I might stop to see if you are feeling any better."

All the while, he simply couldn't help but smirk. This whole thing was too amusing. Little did either of them know, following behind was Ryuku and Ryuuzaki. Our departed one walking along the side walk as the Shinigami flew after him.

/Hyuk! You are too funny!/

"You're the first to notice my sense of humor Ryuku-kun. I'm glad you appreciate it."
