When the warehouse exploded it was so great a force that the door Misa was peeking from blown back and smashed her through the back window turning her over and over again within the snow. She tightly held her arms while huddled at the side of a snow covered street while breaking into loud, mournful sobs, and eventually had gotten up with tears staining each cheek as Misa began heading off without direction.

"Damn L, damn Heretic… why couldn't they had just left Light alone" ,Misa swore, "I hope both L and Heretic both fucking died in that explosion."

Rem flew close behind and tried comforting Misa, "I'm sorry… if there is anything I can do, feel free to let me know."

She glanced over Rem's way and sighed saying, "It's nearly impossible to know who Heretic is, even if we find others with death notes using my eyes. If only we had a way of knowing how many death notes are in Japan, then we might be able to find which one is Heretic's…."

Rem stopped as she began watching a vehicle drive pass and said, "Only six death notes can be active in the human world at a time, and there goes the owner of one now…"

Misa's eyes widened in surprise then said turning to Rem, "Follow them, and find out where they are going, listen when they get there. Come back when you know if they are friends, foes, or unconnected. I'll wait for you here."

The shinigami flew off after the passing black Ford automobile as Misa settled against the side of a nearby building. She hugged her arms tightly around her body while waiting in place. Just as Misa began considering heading inside to watch for Rem in a warm place her shinigami arrived from her scouting task. Tem shook her head saying, "He was picking up flowers for Light, apparently he's a friend of Light's, who also knows someone who had known Light in Jr. High. All in all it looks like he may be a good friend, and may help if he knew you and Light possess death notes. However…there is one thing…"

Misa asked listening intently, "What is it?"

Rem answered while looking away, "His shinigami, Dara, that death goddess… she has an intresting story.

Long ago, Dara had loved a human named Masuki, and a shinigami named Saru had loved her. One day, Masuki was held at gun point at his store by a robber who wwas demanding all the cash in the register. When Saru had seen Dara was about to write the robber's name to sacrifice herself in effort to save Masuki, he had sacrificed himself writing the name first. Saru had died because he killed out of love.

The same day Masuki was walking home, and was killed in a freak traffic accident. That day Dara had taken Saru's death note and began dropping it in the human world, and when someone picks it up she swoops down and kills the human the same day. She keep doing this over and over as if looking for something… and now I think she may had found it in that human, otherwise he would already be dead."

Misa sighed saying, "That's so tragic… Rem, we should visit him. A friend of Light's and a tragic shinigami… I want to try helping them. Let's wait until they come back around, and follow to their home to find where they live. This way we can visit whenever we like."

Misa and Rem watched the street within a coffee shop while occasionally Misa sipped on a cup of cappuccino placed on the table in front of her. As time passed she nearly nodded off when Rem startled her wide away saying, "it's them come on."

The shinigami followed by the sky, while Misa went by car dirving a safe distance away .Finnally, they stopped at an apartment duplex, where Misa parked some distance away and watched the other owner of a death note step out of his vehicle, and way nearly in awe of what stood before her. There stood a younger looking Light with longer, slightly darker hair, a bit paler skin, blue eyes, wearing a short sleeved black shirt reading in red on the front "When life gives you lemons, pelt life with them and demand something better." ,and black denim jeans. Misa broke from the trance as he stepped into his apartment and said, "Rem , your positive he's a friend right?"

Rem gave a nod saying, "From what I heard yes. Go and talk with him if that's what you want."

Misa glanced back Rem's way asking, "What do you think I should say? Should I just strait out tell him I own a death note, or mention I am Light's girlfriend?"

The shinigami said while watching the male's apartment door, "If he has made the trade he will already know you possess a death note the moment he sees you."

Misa nodded pulling her purse closer and walked over to the door giving four light raps. She received an answer with the sound of scuffling within and a voice calling out, "One minute!"

After a time the door opened and Misa was greeted by a warm smile by the name who said, "It looks like your freezing, come in, I'll grab something warm for us to drink. Over hot chocolate we can talk about why you're here."

Heretic shut and locked the door as the beautiful blonde wearing a lolita styled outfit and pigtails on the left and right sides of her head stepped within. Inwardly he swore while bringing down a box of instant hot chocolate mix, and began making two cups thinking, "Who is this? Could she have been sent by L or Kira? Is she an old friend who looked me up?"

He walked over to the living room and set the mugs onto the coffee table then sat asking, "So, what brings you?"

Misa took her place beside him and reached into her purse placing the death note on the center of the coffee table saying, "I know you also possess one too, because of my eyes. What I would like to ask is for you to help me and Kira make the world a better place."

Heretic took a smooth drink from his mug and asked, "Would you like to live in a world were people was ruled by constant fear?"

She looked into her cocoa mug saying, "I would hate it. All I want is to be happy with Light…"

Heretic gently placed a hand on her shoulder saying, "That's the way Light has been slowly shaping the world with his death note. Eventually, it will reach a point where people would be afraid to even have a brief thought of anger. All the while, anyone who has any idea different from Kira would be killed. I know a way we can allow you to have a wonderful life with Light, in a world of freedom, while the great evil doers are punished."

Misa looked into his eyes asking, "You would do that for me and Light? How?" He smiled then motioned for her to come closer, then whispered into her ear. Misa's eyes widened as she looked over toward Heretic, "Do you promise to keep your word if I do that?"

Heretic nodded and answered, "Just keep this between you and me. I want to surprise Light okay?"

Misa nodded and smiled giving Heretic a tight hug saying, "Your such a good friend. Misa-Misa will owe you so much! It won't be forgotten!"

Heretic smiled watching as Misa left, keeping her death note on his coffee table intentionally, then he picked it up saying as he walked toward his bedroom, "Girl found out I have a death note, has my name from her eyes, finds where I live. Yet all it took was a few right words and she changes from a threat to a useful tool. To think, I was considering doing the eye trade to find who the other Kira is. I wish L would be this easy…."
