She remembered him.

Staring at the little Shinigami Misa blinked and canted her head to the side. She remembered this little supernatural being. Hadn't he been the one to save Misa from her killer and if so, was this how her canon!self met him?

She didn't actually recall anything other than the fact that he was a person of interest for her but honestly? She didn't need or want him to die for her, she was gearing up to hopefully divert this killer on her own. But...it couldn't hurt to have him on her side, besides he was really adorable.

Rising to a shaky stand - because even though she knew this was a part of this universe it still scared her a little to see a death god - she smiled minutely. She was charming, she could do this.

"I'm Amane Misa, it's very nice to meet you Gelus-san." She bowed, not removing her eyes from its diminutive frame.

"What is death to you?" He asked curiously and so far it was going good. He seemed to at least find her interesting.

"A natural part of life." She answered with a small shrug. "Some people just meet it sooner than others."

"Is there someone you want to die before their natural time?" Gelus asked, sounding almost unbearably interested in her answer and Misa's brow raised. "It sounded sort of like you did."

"Maybe," She drawled as Light's face flashed before her eyes. "it really all depends on his actions, not mine."

Sighing a bit she pulled her thoughts away from that wannabe god before chewing contemplatively on her lip and deciding to change the subject because now, there was something she wanted to know.

"If it's okay that I pry," She began almost hesitantly, and for once it wasn't faked. "what are you doing here?"

Gelus blinked.

"Hm," He hummed, tilting his head to the side. "Why do you ask?"

Glancing around Misa threw her arms out. "Well, this is a human beach and I can't help but wonder if this view of the coastline is enough to tempt someone like you out from wherever you came from."

He let out a tinkering laugh and Misa was struck still by how pleasant it sounded.

"Oh well I'm here to see the anomaly but it's quite different from how I imagined." He smiled as his single eye twinkled with delight. "And why did you come?"

Falling into a crouch she absently traced her name in the sand. "I actually wanted to see the beach front."

Lapsing into a silence Misa wasn't very surprised at his next question. It was bound to come up ever since she responded to him.

"I'm curious, how can you see me?" And he hadn't said it in any particular way but Misa still tensed a bit.

Glancing back at the creature she shrugged her shoulder. "Maybe I have special eyes?"

Gelus nodded at her reply, looking excited.

"Yes, yes, I know I can see how special they are but how did you get them?" He questioned curiously. "I know you didn't make a deal, I would be able to see that if you had."

Misa twitched at the mention of the deals that her canon self had made. Two freaking times.

"Well I was born like this." She said before pausing and considering her options. "I can also see the names of people and the numbers that float with it."

"So natural born eyes then?" Gelus mused. "There's only been one other case of that occurring."

Interest peaking at the mention of Beyond Birthday she decided to wait on asking after the bigger details and settled on something simple.

"Who was it?"

Gelus looked surprised at her inquiry but he answered regardless.

"Oh, just a serial killer." He said with a smile impish smile. "Or was it a mass murderer? I can never remember human terms."

Deciding that Shinigami were way too chill about mentioning death to non-supernatural children, Misa shot the death reaper a raised brow when he turned to her for help.

"Well I don't know!" She laughed as Gelus visibly pouted.

"It doesn't matter anyways," He said. "I'm sure you'll end up better than him, you seem like a good human."

"Maybe." She conceded with a nod of her head. "Human nature is volatile, always changing and all that stuff so you never know."

"And so I've heard." Gelus nodded before turning a speculative look at her. "How far have human changed to have their names and dates blurred out like yours are?"

Freezing with her fingers mid letter in the sand Misa felt her muscles seize. Turning to look at him she saw that he didn't look angered but pensive. But that didn't stop her heart from racing, she hadn't even known her name was in that state.

Misa was saved from having to reply as she heard her father call to her from the house. Turning to see him standing on the patio she quickly turned back to say goodbye to Gelus - and apologize for leaving on such short notice even though she was grateful for the reprieve - but saw that his rock perch was bare.

Glancing around after deciding that this wouldn't be the last she saw of him, Misa raced towards the house.

"Go get dressed, dulce, we're going out tonight." Her father said ruffling her hair as Misa pressed a kiss against his stubbled cheek.

"What's the occasion?"

Her father smiled this little mysterious smile that had Misa curious.

"A celebration of life, sweetie, a celebration to famiglia."

Staring wide-eyed at her anxiously waiting parents Misa tried her hardest to digest the news being thrown at her. After coming home from the restaurant they had immediately sat her down and broke it to her easy.

Shifting her eyes down to the barely visible bump on her mother's stomach Misa felt two emotions war in her chest. Happiness and anger. Did they not know what this did to her plans?!

"A baby?" She echoed hollowly the word ringing through her ears. "A sibling?"

Her mother was now looking less sure of herself than she did in the beginning and Misa felt a spark of guilt curl in her chest. At first she had been glowing like the sun but at Misa's pale expression, it had shifted somewhere to worry.

"Yes Misa, a little brother or sister for you to love and cherish."

"It'll be a boy." She murmured, staring hard at the soon to be new addition to their family with a small frown.

"And why do you think that?" Her father asked running a hand through her hair and Misa shrugged before grinning. She couldn't have them worrying about whether or not she would love or hate her brother, it was a no brainer as to her feelings but this interference still rankled her.

"It's just a hunch."

Sliding from her chair she hugged her mother, pressing her ear to her stomach as she smiled into her shirt.

This only meant she had one more person to protect. She had to rethink her strategy to include a new player.

Edit: 7/21/16

Misa's blurred name will be explained eventually.

Also some people have said that they can't see Misa in a normal relationship with anyone, not even L or Light and I completely agree. Misa, if she ends up with anyone, will not have a normal or even completely healthy relationship. Hell it might not even be romantic or sexual.

She's weird like that.

But I'm curious, if she did end up with someone (Like L or Light or anyone you can think of) how do you guys think their relationship would work?

Also what do you guys think of Misa's personality so far?

Oh yeah someone also mentioned they could see her with a Shinigami and I'm like hmmm, have yall seen the human version of Ryuk? The writer of deathnote didn't show Ryuk in his human form because he didn't want him to look better than Light lmao. So tbh that's not out of the ball park. Ryuk is hot.

I'm definitely gonna give the Shinigami human forms. I imagine Rem looks like Five from Zankyuu no Terror and Gelus looks like Amaimon from Blue Exorcist.
