Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome back to Life and Death Note. I know that I've been updating this over other stories that need updating, but this is fun for me to write at the moment so I'll be continuing to write this.
Last chapter we found out that people are suddenly coming back to life coincidentally after a number of bodies were stolen. What's the link between them? Of course that they were all victims of Kira aka Light. We also have a few more unnamed characters. The two voices with the mysterious figure and the girl that also just happens to be Misa's new neighbor.
Something I'd like to remind you all of is that Misa doesn't commit suicide on the Valentine's Day after Light's death is this story. She instead tries to find ways to distract herself by returning to her work and stuff as shown by that she was trying to find a job that interested her. In this chapter we get to see and hear about some specific people who were resurrected. It should be already obvious who was the one doing it, but if you haven't realized it yet, the story will make it clear as it goes on.
Anyway, I'll stop talking now and get on with the story so enjoy.
CHAPTER 3:THE RETURN
Misa woke peacefully for a change.
It was surprising even for her considering the torture that she'd been going through earlier in the night along with the previous days.
She stretched and yawned instead of the normal jolting awake in sadness or fear that she had been experiencing over the past week.
Something just felt better and she didn't know what it was, but she honestly didn't care. Maybe she could finally go back to her normal life.
Well as normal as a on and off celebrity could be.
She was surprised that she could easily wander the streets and not be recognized. Maybe it was because of how differently she'd been lately.
Was she that different though? She knew she felt hollow, but had everyone else seen it as well? Of course they did. She wasn't exactly secretive about it.
No amount of acting could cover up her heart ache.
Despite the things she did, she was only human.
Humans weren't perfect. Nothing anyone said would or could change that.
Something about today though felt like things might finally be looking up.
Maybe instead of losing things, she'd get something or at least not lose anything else.
Misa sighed in an unusual that wasn't really negative or positive.
It lacked emotion and that oddly made her feel a bit better. Almost like she was leaving a past chapter of her life behind and beginning anew.
That had it's benefits and it's drawbacks as that meant she would probably leave everything around here behind should she go back to her acting career.
The memories would make it too hard to stay in Japan, but maybe she would rethink this decision later.
If this happier feeling she was getting stuck around then she'd definitely be sticking around.
She got out of bed and brushed her hair out of her eyes with her hands.
She put on her usual Gothic attire that she'd worn for years now and tied her hair into it's usual style.
After quickly putting on a bit of makeup, Misa grabbed her purse and headed out her door.
Only to bump into someone, "Sorry I wasn't paying at-" she said looking at the person she didn't recognize.
The other girl stared back at her, "It's fine." she said brushing her shirt.
Misa observed this girl, "Are you new around here?" she asked.
The brown haired girl nodded, "I just moved in yesterday. I'm Danika." she introduced, holding out her hand.
The blonde girl returned the gesture, "I'm Misa. I guess we're neighbors then." she said shaking her hand.
Danika nodded once again, "Yeah. Well I've gotta get going. It was nice meeting you." she said continuing her way down the hall towards the elevator.
Misa paused for a minute before waving. Something about this girl reminded her of Light.
She felt guilty because she now felt the need to befriend this girl because of it.
Was it a bit shallow and wrong? Yes. Did it really hurt anything? Not yet.
Misa smiled, "Maybe this is why today felt so much better. Maybe things will start looking up. I can make new friends and try to move past everything. The last six years have been nothing but me living in a fantasy. Today I once again start living my own life again." she said to herself.
She headed to the elevator that she realized was about to close, "Wait." she called.
Danika quickly stopped the door, "Going down?" she asked with a light smile.
Misa nodded a bit embarrassed, "Yeah. I was thinking about something and almost forgot that I have somewhere I'm supposed to be going." she said as the elevator doors closed and they began their descent.
It was only a minute, but Misa took every second to observe this girl and see what exactly reminded her of Light.
Danika had short brown hair that was similar to Light's along with similar facial features.
They all had a feminine quality to them though that differentiated them from the man she'd loved.
She also wore a white dress shirt with a burgundy tie and a black skirt.
The boots she wore contrasted the rest of the outfit as they were knee high brown leather boots that didn't go with the dress clothes she was wearing.
However she made them work quite nicely.
The clothes also pointed out the obvious different between the deceased man the young girl standing here.
Her curves gave away the obvious fact that she was a female.
Misa cut her observations short when Danika looked her way. She acted like she was standing there idly as the elevator opened.
She smiled at the other girl, "I'll see you around." she said and headed out into town.
She sat at her favorite cafe in town sipping on a drink that she'd got it so many times that she didn't even think about what was in it.
The cashier gave her an obviously fake smile and took the money she set on the counter.
Basically this was her daily routine. She'd get coffee and then spend her day wandering the streets of Japan.
It wasn't the most entertaining or fulfilling thing to do, but she honestly didn't know how to live her life alone.
For the longest time she'd had Rem, Light, and many others to talk to and spend time with. Now she had herself.
She realized how lonely her life truly was. Maybe she should try making friends. That good feeling she got couldn't have been for nothing. Perhaps it meant that there was somebody out there for her
That girl Danika came to mind. She seemed nice enough. Not to mention they lived in the same apartment complex. It would be easy to get in contact.
Yes Misa knew that it was a bit shallow that she wanted to get to know this girl because she reminded her of Light, but it was the only way she'd ever get her life back together.
Misa made a plan that day that she'd do what she could to become friends with that girl one way or another.
Her walk around town had been much more lively since she'd felt better today.
She bought some new clothes and other things while she was out. Including some new food that she wanted to try and make herself.
Sadly Danika hadn't been home when she returned, but she didn't expect the girl to be into fashion and such anyway.
In all honesty she seemed to be a bit of a tomboy.
Misa went straight to work in the kitchen with trying to back a cake.
She put all the ingredients out on the counter and looked at the box which gave directions.
She out the items in the bowl in the order stated and began to mix them.
After she was sure they were ready, she poured the mixture into a pan and put it in the oven.
She then did something she hadn't done since she was a little girl. She licked the extra cake batter off the side of the bowl.
The childlike side of her and the adult side had completely different thoughts on the action but she enjoyed it nonetheless.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door, "I wonder who that could be." she said to herself.
She opened the door to see something that made her jaw drop.
Standing outside her door was a man with pale skin, messy black hair, a long sleeved white shirt, faded jeans, and white sneakers.
He stood there with a blank look on his face, "May I come in?" he asked.
You all better know who that is or you have no right to call yourself a fan of Death Note. He's here and what's he gonna do? You'll have to wait and see. I'm back from my break for a limited time. I might not update this again for a week or two, but I hope it won't be as long as the wait last time. So nothing from the mysterious stranger this time. They'll play an important role now that the world's best detective is back. Anyway what do you guys think of Danika? I made her similar in appearance to Light, but I'll probably give her a unique personality as time goes on. Anyway that's all for this time. Have a great night and I'll see you all next time.
