A/N: I forgot to mention it last time, but thanks for the first review, DarkWriter00. I like to hear what people think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note.

When I woke up, it was sprawled in a hallway in what was most likely a hospital. I got up and coughed, spitting out some kind of paper. I opened the note and suddenly remembered what I needed to do this time. So, clutching the damp paper in my hand, I set out to find out the hospital's name. I was stopped about halfway through when I saw a nameplate on one of the long-term patients' doors. I stood frozen on the spot for at least five minutes. This was not what I thought happened. Actually, I was sure I had died and having a long-term hospital room was not adding up with that theory. In fact, it only serves to prove the opposite of what I had initially thought.

I didn't even find the hospital's name, I just went back to Light's house after a few hours of being lost. I then proceeded to convince him to come with me before I forgot where it was, and rushed him when he silently insisted that he walk slowly. I even started pushing on his back, but that didn't work too well and tired me out, so I gave up and just walked backwards in front of him.

"So, you somehow got rid of your stalker?" I noticed the lack of his shadow.

He gave a slight nod in response to my question.

"Okay, well, I don't really have a plan, but you should probably just say you're a classmate or something. If they don't want to let you in, just nod and walk to the elevator as inconspicuously as possible. I can go through the door and let you in, I think."

He gave me an odd look.

"I know, I know. It's not a very well-prepared plan, but I am freaking out. I thought I was dead!" I cried, rushing him through the hospital doors now.

He went up to the counter and smiled at the woman sitting there. "Hi, do you know if there's a Rin Kobayashi here?" He asked politely. "I'm a friend from school."

"Oh, yes, the girl that's been in a coma for the last three years. There is still some brain activity most of the time, but I doubt she'll wake up anytime soon. Did you want us to put something in her room for you?"

"No, thank you. I would prefer to go see her personally. Could you tell me which room it is?"

"Sure. It's room 327."

"Thank you." He nodded to her and flashed another charming smile, then turned and went to the elevator.

I followed him and couldn't help the dumbfounded expression I had stuck on my face.

"What it is?" He mumbled.

I shook my head. "Uh, nothing. Just, she gave a bunch of information about me to someone who isn't even a family member without question." I felt slightly uneasy about my body's safety with staff like that.

"Maybe she figured no one would know she did." He dismissed quietly as the elevator doors opened.

Once we were inside the unlocked hospital room, I felt a bit faint.

"Hey, you're starting to disappear." Light said, hand halfway extended to touch my shoulder, but stopped with the realization he couldn't. It must've been a reflex he had to try and stabilize a person when they didn't look good.

"I'm fine. But…I look older, don't I?" I asked, motioning to the body laying on the bed.

She had my dirty blonde hair colour and pale skin tone, but she looked like an older me with longer hair. I'm willing to bet that those closed eyes are the same dull greyish blue hue as they had turned out to be once I had become a teenage. They used to be a bright blue when I was younger, but that wasn't important at the moment. It was really like I had been a ghost for three years and hadn't changed because I couldn't remember. She looked thin and weak though. The beeping showed a steady heartbeat, but the brainwave chart was still going like I was still thinking inside my body while I was in this ghost-like state. I guess it's hard to explain. As my conscious self felt like it was fading more and more, my older body on the hospital bed was beginning to stir. Light was oddly quiet, but then again, I probably wouldn't have heard him if he did say anything anyway.

I blacked out, but the next second, I opened my eyes from a different viewpoint. The steady beeping from before was now erratic. I was gasping for breath and my eyes darted everywhere before I looked at Light, who looked to be pretty confused as well.

"Am I..?" I gasped out, my voice quiet and hoarse, likely from disuse.

He nodded, then turned and went out into the hallway, coming back with a nurse a minute later. She shooed him out of the room quickly and began checking me over and asking me a series of questions I didn't really know the right answers to. I was quite thankful for the large glass of water she gave me before making me talk. After what seemed like half an hour, the busy doctors and nurses left and Light came back in. He didn't say anything before a tray of food was brought to me and I didn't think twice before I started eating.

"Ugh, hospital food is awful." I whined, making a face.

"Can you see Ryuk?" Light asked, serious expression on his face again.

I shook my head. "Why? Is he here?"

He nodded.

"I don't know what happened, but you should probably go before my mom comes back. Come see me in a few days. They're going to be running tests like crazy. They're all saying it's a miracle or something."

He nodded and left without a word. Apparently he was just as shocked and confused as I was about what exactly happened, just more composed. It was an hour later that my mom came rushing in and smothered me while apologizing through tears for not being able to leave work as soon as she heard.
