Ahh! I'm soooooo sorry I haven't updated in a while! I've been busy with life and everything in it! But Seeing as you lot have been so patient, I'm going to reward you of an installment of six chapters instead of the usual three. Enjoy!
Chapter 10: Blonde Bitches
"My god," I sigh as I lay on the floor, arms flailed about as though bored beyond all belief. It's been a few days since I've made my first move in hinting at me 'wanting' to be more to Light than just 'friends' and 'allies'. L told me to make my next move before Light meets the second Kira. This means that I have to make my move fairly quickly. Shit. I've never confessed to anyone let alone fake confessed to them...If I were smart, I'd make my move today. And since I am smart...Damn. "This woman," as I've explained to the lot of them minutes ago, "Is such a dumb broad. I seriously hope she's not blonde".
"What's hair color have to do with anything, Lucifer?" Matsuda looks down at my flopped frame.
I chuckle and smirk to him, "In the States, there's a joke where all blonds are stupid. Because it's been proven that there are a lot of stupid people with blonde hair. Not only that, but in movies a lot of people like cheer leaders, band groupies and the like are blonds and aren't all that smart". There's an 'oooohhh' look on his face which makes me shake my head fondly at the man. What a goof.
"It's so stupid," L sighs as he noms upon one of the chocolates in front of his spot, "I don't know how to handle it. That's saying a lot. Wanting some human food for myself, my left hand reaches up and over the edge of the table, searching for the box of chocolates I put there for him in the first place. My hand is smacked away as L gives me a blank stare. However I can see that he playfully doesn't want me to have his sweets. I pout his way, causing a small smile to lift at the corner of his lips. However he doesn't give me anything still. "If we make the diary public, we'll be forced to make some sort of televised announcement that the game will be canceled on the thirtieth. However if we don't make it public, I don't think anything will happen".
"What?" Matsuda questions as he and Aizawa make to sit on the couch on one of the sides of the coffee table that I'm flopped down besides. "Won't not airing it make him- sorry, her- mad?"
"Nah," I wave my hand dismissively while the other one again tries for a piece of chocolate. Again it's smacked away causing me to pout again. "An infatuated woman will do whatever her dream man says. Even if the real Kira is a woman, I'm sure the second Kira would still be rather admiring of her. However since the real Kira seems like a man, the second one is sure to be in love with him even though she hasn't met him yet". I grin, "Infatuated stupid women are loyal, if nothing else".
"Not only that, but the second Kira swore to the Kira we created to not kill aimlessly. Other than Lucifer's reasoning I am inclined to believe her," L states as one more time he smacks away my hand. But I am determined as much as he is. "I say we make it public but don't cancel the game. However we will announce that on every road to the Tokyo dome there will be check points". He pauses, "Finally, it's possible that the second Kira, male or female, isn't quite as stupid as they make themselves to be. So there could be another message in here that could only be understood by the first Kira". Or me. Even you, L. But I'm sure the next statements you're going to say will be based off of such information, and will sound like you're guessing just for the sake of the others, from an unknowing you's point of view, and to remain uninformed in Light's eyes. A lot of bases to cover, but I'm sure you've got it down already. "Still, we should read into every place that's mentioned here. He or she met one friend in Aoyama on the twenty second, and another friend in Shibuya on the twenty fourth. For now, we should keep an eye out for those with note books in Aoyama on this date, and in clothing stores on the twenty forth. And finally once more, we should set up security cameras in both places, as well as have under cover officers there on both dates".
"I should go to Aoyama since I'd blend in with the crowd there," Matsuda points out. He is a young man who could still be in college.
"I'll go too," Light offers.
Yagami doesn't seem to like this idea, seeing as the second Kira could be there, "But...Light-"
"It's okay dad. Shibuya and Aoyama are places I'd go anyways. Besides, if nothing else, Lucifer can come too," Light looks down at me from his spot next to Yagami's chair that's across from the couch on the other side of the table, "She can be my date". The brown haired boy looks at my once more smacked hand and swiftly swipes a chocolate before handing it to me. However with my eyes wide and jaw dropped in surprise, I neither noticed the hand smack nor Light's swiping the chocolate.
"Your date you say?" L questions. I'm too busy being surprised. Sweet! I didn't even have to make my move first! Looks like Light really believed that shitty acting I did the other night...But still. For him to say it out right here. That's...Kind of embarrassing.
Light nods, "Both places would be good places for couples to go and spend time together on any normal date. Plus, it'd be odd for just a bunch of guys to be wandering around in a group of school girls. At least one of us should have a girlfriend".
"Then why don't I take her?" Matsuda suggests.
"No offense Matsui, but you and Lucifer just...Wouldn't look right together," Light laughs out a bit, making the slightly older man fall silent. "Oh yea, here ya go Lucifer," Light crouches down and pops the chocolate in to my still open jaws. This spooks me out of my sightless daze and I shoot up, swallowing the chocolate whole some how.
"I don't wanna leave L's side. I mean, I am his guard after all," I try to deny. However as I look to the black haired man, I see a flash of something unknown and then a shake of his head.
"I will be fine, Lucifer, Go with Light and Matsui in order to investigate Aoyama," L tells me, picking up a chocolate and staring at it. He looks from it to me a few times, and then tosses it at my mouth. Unlike with Light, I'm ready this time. And like a dog I open my mouth and snap it closed as soon as the chocolate hits my tongue.
I sigh. "If you say so". It's after that, that we decide to call it a night. However, L asks me to walks Light out of the building as he's stayed later than his father. "I'll see ya tomorrow, Light," I grin to him, feeling an unseen set of eyes on my person. Is L watching us from the window?
"Yea. See you," Light nods as the taxi he called for waits for him. "Oh, and Lucifer?" He calls to my frame that had only just turned around to walk back inside. However when we turn, his arms wrap around me in an intimate hug, "Come to my room when you can tonight. I want to talk to you in private".
"I-I'll be there," I play the role of a startled woman. He releases me, and then gets into the car. Before I can walk into the building, my phone rings. I pick it up, and tilt my head, "Yes, Ryuzaki?"
"What did Light want?"
"He wants me to go to his room tonight...Something he wants to talk to me about," I tell him, looking up to the window that he looks at me from. I can see his person through the window. Falling from his sight, I crouch and gather my legs under me. When ready, I leap, pushing as hard against the concrete as I can. I land on the ledge of L's window and reappear in front of him. "Should I go?"
L remains on the phone, staring right at me from his slouched position, "...Yes...Stay there for as long as he is talking to you, and then come back to me. However, before you go...," he opens up the window deftly with a single hand. This hand disappears for a moment or two before he offers me a piece of chocolate, "I believe I owe you a piece of chocolate".
I blink, "You gave one to me earlier today".
"Yes...That was to get even with Light. I did not want him feeding my friend where he had no right to...I would like to one-up him. If you'll allow me," L's unblinking gaze stays on my own orbs.
I blink a few times before shrugging, still communicating through phone and face to face. It's odd to hear his voice twice, however I guess that's okay. "Sure. Go ahead and one-up him," I tell him, opening my maul for him to pop the chocolate into. When I bite down, my eyes widen while my lips slide into a smile of bliss. "Mmmm," I moan out.
"What?" L questions. Though it kind of looks like he already knows the answer.
"I love cherries...You just gave me a chocolate covered one. Thank you". I explain.
A smile up turns his lips as he nods, "You're quite welcome. However you should be going now". I nod before falling off of the ledge with a wave, the wind whipping passed me at an alarming rate before I land on all fours- well, threes, since my phone is still in one hand. Being invisible to the human eye, I take off full speed for Light's home.
When I get there, It takes nothing but a hop- when compared to the leap to L's window- to get into Light's room. When I land in the room, my eyes meet Ryuk's and I become visible to the human eye. "Light," I speak his name as he's been resting on his bed, arms behind his head and used as a pillow as though he's waiting for me.
His brown eyes open up and a smile lights his features before he sits and then stands to his full height. "You made it. I was starting to worry that L made you stay for some reason".
I shake my head, "Nah, all's fine. What'd you need to talk to me about?"
Light's smile becomes a bit more gentle from the simple greeting smile he's normally given me- the smile of a friend. The look in his eyes also becomes gentle. Oh. He's good. "Lucifer...," he makes his way forward and takes one of my hands into his own corresponding one. His thumb runs circles on the back of my hand, "...I wanted to ask you...Will you be my future queen to this world that I'm working to clean?"
My eyes widen. Seriously? My god he works fast! "W-what?" I'm not the best actress in the world, so it's not like I can force a blush to my cheeks. However I can act surprised despite not having a blush. "...Light I swear if this is a joke".
"It's not," Light tells me, and leads me to the bed, pulling me to sit down on it as he does the same. "It's really not. I've been thinking about asking you out for a while. The fact that you were kind of jealous when I was talking about that other Kira when you said she could be a woman that's infatuated with me, only pushed me forward in my plans a bit. Lucifer...Will you be my girlfriend?" There is a time and a place when one can tell for absolute sureness that someone is lying or telling the truth. The words he speaks are truth, and the look in his everything- face, eyes, over all body language- says nothing but honesty. "I know we haven't known each other too long, but...I just can't help but find that you're beautiful and would make a wonderful life partner. I can't say that I love you, because I don't know if I do. But...Will you at least work with me to see if we love one another?"
I blink. Man. If he were lying he'd be laying it on fucking thick. However, there's no sign of it. I know he doesn't love me, the fact that he said he doesn't know if he does supports this. Normally most seducers go for that love-at-first-sight shit. L said to capture his heart...This is step two of three. "...I," I look down as though in nervous thought, before looking up and smiling at him, "Yes, Light. I'll be your girlfriend".
Light's eyes widen with surprise and then his smile becomes a bit wider. His free hand comes to my cheek, an obvious sign, along with his face getting closer, that he'd like to kiss me. As his new girlfriend, I can't deny him what he wants. So I let him kiss me, meeting him in the middle and kissing back with my arms coming to wrap lightly around his neck. I have to say that he's a rather good kisser, I'll give him that. However the emotion he puts into the kiss is real, while mine is fake.
The twenty second finds me dressed in a full length shirt that is of a blue color while my usual pants are replaced by a casual black skirt. My normal boots are replaced by simple sandals. It's a nice day out, and the wind feels nice on my face. However it seems that Matsui is confused as to why it's more than just Light and I meeting up with him.
"Umm, Light, Razboi, what's going on here?" He cluelessly questions in fairly casual but still nice clothing.
"These are some of Light's friends from school," I grin to him.
"This is my cousin Taro, guys," Light introduces, "It's his first time in Tokyo so I figured we'd show him a good time. I'm counting on you guys. Oh! And he said he's looking for a girlfriend. So, any takers?"
"W-what? I never said that!" Matsui coves up for himself. This makes the girls and boys that are with us laugh as well before we take off at a steady walk.
As we do so, Light holds onto mine, twining our fingers casually as though we've been a couple for a while now. It's only been about a week and a half. The news of Light and I dating is known well by the Task Force, however it was first known by L himself when I got back from Light's home. L wasn't happy about that all, I could tell by the look in his eyes and the grip on his shins that he had when I told him- he was still working when I got back. However he made no verbal remark towards the fact that he didn't like that his plan of me stealing Light's heart is working so well. Then again, he also didn't ask me to spend the night with him as he has been every now and again.
Still, today it's my job- self, Light and L appointed- to keep an eye out for the second Kira. Unlike her with Light, I'll be able to see her name and lifespan like I can everyone else. However, It's her Shinigami that will give her away. Light figures she'll be in or at Note Blue at some point. So I focus my attention on that. My eyes do indeed catch sight of a Shinigami, one with vertebrae for arms almost and bandages covering its head. It over all looks like some sort of witch doctor. For my eyes, it's easy to tell that the girl with the Shinigami wears a wig and contacts. Not only that, but she's rather openly staring above Light's head as I look her way upon seeing all of these oddities. I squeeze Light's hand, signaling to him that I've found her. He squeezes mine back just as briefly to show that he understands. I take the mental note to remember the name, Amane Misa huh? Isn't she some famous model or something? I don't really care about that fact though.
"So we've been to both places, Shibuya and Aoyama. And yet nothing has appeared of any use to us," Aizawa reads over the information we've covered. My eyes flash to L swiftly before returning to give Aizawa the attention he needs. "That means that both were a bust. There was no sign of oddities at all on either day".
Not to your eyes. But to mine, there were oddities. Again my eyes shift to L as I recall my report to him the night after Aoyama.
FLASHBACK
"L," I state as I walk into the room and once I realize it's safe to call him by his true name. "I found the second Kira".
From his position sitting in an armed chair and going over written information of some sort as he always does, his head whips around to over his shoulder so fast that I swear he got whip lash. "You found the second Kira? Does Light know?"
I nod, "Yes. However he doesn't know that I can see the names of Death Note holders where as humans with Shinigami eyes cannot do so. So he doesn't know her name. She was in Aoyama; her name is Amane Misa".
L stands from his position, his usual facial expression on his person, but a look of pure pleasure or simple pleasedness- is that even a word?- is in his eyes. He's obviously happy that he has such a lead. "You've done an excellent job, Lucifer," he tells me, coming to stand in front of my frame. With him slouching, he's my height, though I'm sure if he were to stand up straight he'd be Light's height. "Thank you. I honestly do not think I would have such a lead on Light if it weren't for you. Tell me...How do you feel about him? Have you actually started to form feelings for him?"
I scoff, "Just because some women have fallen in love with the man they were supposed to be seducing, doesn't mean I'm one of them, L. That pathetic human wishes he could hold my nonexistent heart in the palms of his hands. He wishes he had a leash tied to my neck and with a jerk of the leash and a command I'd obey. He thinks he does, but he doesn't". I shrug. "I'm new to his whole seducion thing, but not having a heart or a soul makes it easy for me".
L stares at me for a moment, "Yes, I was wondering about that...How does one have emotions without a heart or soul?"
I shrug, "I don't know to be honest. I guess it's because emotions such as liking and hating is an emotional state. Love? I can love, I love my brother. But he's a Seikatsuma too, so that may have something to do with it. I've never loved a human before".
"I see...Well, please keep up the excellent work; your information on Light and his plans is part of what is keeping me going".
"Of course".
FLASHBACK END
"Ryuzaki. I've gotten news that Sakura TV has had yet another tape sent their way from the second Kira. I will play it to you now," Watari's voice is suddenly heard on L's constantly open laptop.
"I am happy to announce that I have found Kira. To the television station and police, I wish to thank you," the distorted voice on the tape states. But that's all she says. From my right where Light has started to stand ever since we started to date, I feel his frame stiffen. Heh.
"This is a disaster if he's- or she's- found the real Kira!" Aizawa states with wide eyes, obviously not fond of the current happenings.
"It's more than likely that they're cooperating with one another now," Yagami states with a low growl of frustration hinted in his voice. However it's well covered up.
L stirs the tea I had recently brought into the room, "Let's not jump to conclusions". After all, you know the truth. "It may be safe to say that they're not cooperating with one another just yet. He just said that he found Kira, not met up with him". He takes a sip of his beverage, "However because it has come down to this, we must speak to the second Kira in person. If nothing else, we can strike up a deal in return for the real Kira's name". Oh. Cornered, Light.
After this choice is made, the announcement is scripted and delivered by Matsuda and Aizawa before they each go home for the night. Yagami, not wanting to give up on the work just yet, stays with the rest of us but tells Light to go home in order to up keep the thought of him being in school still.
"Lucifer," Light states before leaving, "Will you come with me? My sister and mom have been asking about my girlfriend; I think it's about time they found out that they've already met you".
I tilt my head before looking to L, "Is that alright with you? I mean, I have a cake in the oven that's almost done...," though L is silent as he builds a tower of sugar cubes on the table before him absently. I purse my lips. "Light, why don't you go downstairs without me? I'll come with you; I just wanna make sure this cake seriously doesn't get burnt". It's happened before. When L found out that I killed some strawberries by over doing it, he about had a melt down. Who knew that the guy could love those things so much?
Light stares at me for a moment before nodding, "Alright. I'll see you down stairs then. Are we taking your car?" I give him a nod, which he returns.
"Light," Yagami speaks up to his son, "I'll walk you down. I want to talk to you as it is". Oh?
"Sure. Whatever you say dad," Light smiles to his old man before turning with him to leave the room after a swift bout of eye contact with me.
As soon as they're gone, I head for the kitchen, and yet call out to L once more. "So should I go with him? Or maybe make up something that'll allow me to stay here with you? Honestly I need a break from him. He's really starting to get into this whole dating thing. I know he's actually interested in me, but still. He's been wanting me to spend the night with him in secret. And the fact that he wants me to be introduced to his mom and sister must mean he's getting serious about this". Sooner or later he's going to start holding my hand even here. That'd be weird.
L is silent for a moment as I fiddle with the cake and pull it out of the oven. I hear the faint tumbling of sugar cubes onto the table like a bunch of rolled die. "Go with him. You're sure to meet the second Kira soon; it's highly unlikely that they will take the offer we have given her. This Amane Misa. Do whatever you can to keep her at arm's reach from Light. Not only that, but do you think that Light would pick her over you? She has...Shinigami eyes after all". I sigh at the pause. Ever since the thought of Shinigami truly existing has been solidified in his head- thank you Misa- he's been reluctant to speak of them. Does he fear that one will take his life in order to help Light? Or perhaps that because he knows of the power of Shinigami eyes, that if he comes in contact with Misa that he'll die?
I'm silent as I ice the cake after figuring that it's cool enough for me to do so, going so far as to place strawberry slices- the ones that I didn't put into the batter- along the sides and four whole ones on the top like the leaves of a clover. However the question makes me ponder for a moment or two. "He'd be stupid to give up a relationship with the closest thing to a God, in other words me. I have eyes like a Shinigami's, I eat Shinigami, I can become invisible and visible by my own will, I can kill and never be found, I'm immortal for the most part for Christ's sake. Finally, I'm on his side alone in his mind. So why the hell would he choose a most likely clingy and Kira-obsessed fan girl over a powerful Demon of Life like myself? I bet you he probably thinks that if we stay together and he captures my 'heart', that I'll be able to turn him into a Seikatsuma some how. I haven't told him that we're created at random from those killed by a Death Note. To answer your question in full: No, I don't think that Light will choose the human girl over me".
L is silent as at last I come out in front of him with the platter of the three layer strawberry cake and a plate on which he can put a piece. "Very well. Go down with Light. Make sure that his eyes are on you alone when the second Kira comes to meet him. Flaunt your abilities if you must".
With a nod, I walk around to the back of his chair and hug him around his hunched shoulders. "I'll see you tomorrow, L," I tell him lightly before disappearing from his sight. When I make it to the hotel's garage, I see Light sitting in the car, having probably vaulted over the door, and waiting for me. In the back seat Ryuk chomps happily on an apple, that forever grin on his face wide with glee from the taste. "Did I keep you waiting long?" I call to him once close enough.
Light looks my way and shakes his head with a smile, "No. Done making the cake?"
I nod, "Yup," and vault over the door of the driver's side. "Ryuk I swear if you get any apple drippings on this car, I'll eat you". I'll be eating him anyways probably- my stomach demands for me to do so now, and painfully might I add- but that's besides the point.
I look back to see the male Shinigami paused with the core of the apple hovering over his open mouth, "I would never do such a thing, Lucifer!" He assures me with a nervous look in those bulgy eyes of his.
"You better not," that said, we're out of the garage and headed back to Light's home. "You think your mom will like me Light? I mean we only met once and that was briefly".
Light chuckles, "Are you kidding me? Sayu couldn't stop talking about you coming back to pick me up for school. She thought you were 'so cool'. And mom liked that I had an outgoing friend that went to the same school as I do".
I scratch the back of my head, "Ahh...Well, let's just hope they still like me, right?" Again Light chuckles his amusement.
"Mom, Sayu, I'm home!" Light calls as we step in through the door, taking off our shoes as we go. "And I've brought my girlfriend!"
"What?!" There's the sound of scrambling feet from the kitchen area if I remember correctly from when there were cameras hidden here. Sayu, with her hair up in a loose pony tail and in pink pajamas, comes to a stop in the hallway with a bright smile on her face. She looks to Light, and then to me. When she realizes just who I am, those eyes of hers widen and she lets out a happy scream. "Oh my gosh I knew it!" She turns and runs back into the room from whence she came, "Mom mom! You gotta come see this!"
I blink and tilt my head, "...Is she okay?"
Light shrugs, "Probably," before taking my waist into his hold, "She tends to over react about stuff like this sometimes".
"Okay okay, Sayu," Light's mom smiles out, "I'm walking. Calm down. I can meet Light's girlfriend at my own pace". However as she looks our way, her own eyes widen while a surprised look covers her face, "Oh! Light! Kyofu-chan. I didn't know you two were a couple".
Light smiles, "It hasn't been long, but we talked about it and agreed that it was probably a good idea that you really met her more than just that run by you got when she picked me up".
Placing a smile on my lips, I slip from Light's hold and bow before the mother of my current lover, "It's good to see you again, Mrs. Yagami. Please feel free to call me Razboi".
"Only if you call me Sachiko," the woman smiles out lightly, "Are either of you hungry? It's late but I'm sure I can make you something".
I hold up my hands and laugh a laugh that sounds like bells even to myself. Do I always laugh like that? "It's okay, Mrs. Yaga- I mean...Sachiko. Light and I are full from dinner still. Thank you for the offer though".
"Hey mom, Razboi and I are gonna go up to my room, okay?" Light questions, taking one of my hands and pulling me in the mentioned direction.
"Alright Light. But no funny business, you hear?" The woman calls after us as we head up the stairs. As if I'd let him anywhere near my...You know.
As Light sits on his bed, he pulls me into his lap and simply rests his forehead onto my shoulder. "How the hell are we going to get to her? You said it's a girl, but you can't see her name?"
I shake my head, "No. I can't. Seikatsuma can't see the names of humans with Death Notes". I place a hand on his head, letting my fingers play with his hair in a way that I've learned he enjoys. "Stay calm; she'll come to you. I assure you that someone as dumb as her will become impatient and find her way to you. She has the eyes, she'll find a way to meet you in person".
"Light!~ There's a girl for you at the door! She says she has a note book for you that you left at school," Sayu calls through the door of his room. "You better not be cheating on Razboi-chan!"
This makes me laugh, however Light glares at the door. "I'll be there in a second," he calls back and then turns his attention to me, "Stay here. I'll be right back. Become invisible though; I don't want her knowing about you right away".
"Your wish is my command," I joke as he stands.
He smiles, "Can I hear that again with us in bed?" My eyes widen and for the first time since flirting or even dating him, I blush. Pervert! This makes him laugh a bit harder, "I'm kidding; you're cute when you blush". He walks out of the room and closes the door behind him. In return, I growl low under my breath at his little sexual innuendo. Pervert.
I stand and look out Light's window, hanging onto the ledge and sticking my head through the glass as though it were open, to get a look at who Light's talking to. My eyes narrow. That's the Shinigami that I saw the other day. And the girl's name is the same as well...Now that I think about it, her lifespan is insanely long, however she's not a Seikatsuma. I'd know if she was. I pop my head back into the room and make my way onto Light's bed, sitting still when Light and Misa walk in. Behind her, the witch doctor Shinigami's eyes flash to me, and then to Ryuuk. Her eyes narrow as they go back to me, while her once slouching frame becomes a bit more straight. I grin her way and lick my lips. Two Shinigami in the same room. How...Tempting.
"Have a seat," Light demands, spinning his desk chair around and offering it to her. His words are blunt and dry while he himself sits on his bed in front of me. Playing the role of girlfriend and Kira's right hand, I press my frame to his back, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. He shows no outward sign of enjoying the contact.
"Oh...Thank you," Misa states carefully, sitting once Light does.
"How did you find me?"
"I knew it! You didn't make the Eye Deal," she returns with a smile. At Light's clueless face she answers, "People with Shinigami Eyes can see the names of their victims. But they can't see the names of those with a Death Note".
"Is that so?" The black Shinigami hums as he stands at Light's bedside across from Rem. "Not even I knew about that little detail," he laughs at this, apparently finding it amusing.
"But I do have the Eyes. I could be your eyes...So...Would you make me your girlfriend?" The girl questions after looking down as though in thought. When she looks up, she looks as though she's working up a lot of nerve.
"Be my girlfriend?" Light's eyes widen from what I can see as I rest my head on one of his shoulders. "...I don't think that's possible. You and I were both in Aoyama on the twenty second when there were three times as many security cameras. That means not only you, but I was caught on tape as well. For us to be seen together after words wouldn't look good; even now it's dangerous for you to be here. I wish you would understand that. Not only that but you've been reckless; you could have been caught by the police and then they would have known everything about the Death Note". Sorry Light, L already does. He just needs real physical evidence and your death note to prove you guilty. But I can't get it from you, you keep it from me so I don't have an allergic reaction.
"These are my pictures from that day, though," Misa states, pulling out two pictures and handing them to Light for him to look over. Just as I remember, she's dressed like a school girl with short dark hair, dark eyes and thick rimmed glasses. Nothing like the gothic garb she dresses in now.
Ryuuk too gives them a look-see, laughing as he admits, "She'd never be recognized like that".
Light thought, ever careful, is skeptical, "And what about the finger prints on all those tapes you sent? Every single one of them had the same finger prints on them".
"I don't do these things without thinking you know. Up until recently I lived somewhere else and had a friend that was in the ocult. I suggested we send some fake tapes to all sorts of TV stations. I had her do all the work. I only added the Kira logo and the voice synthesizer before sending it in from her place," Misa answers.
"And what about this friend? Where is she now?"
"Why are you doing this to me?! If you want me to kill her, then just say it and I'll kill her!" God, she's like a living puppet! Infatuated is the wrong word to use for her feelings. Obsessed is more like it. "Look," she offers, "If you really don't trust me, then you can hold onto my Death Note. But you'd only be holding it so I'd be able to keep my Shinigami eyes. Isn't that right, Rem?"
The witch doctor female Shinigami looks down to her mistress, "Yes, that's right".
"Why are you going to such lengths?" Light questions her. Yes...Why? "You could have torn pages from the Note and hidden them somewhere, as well".
"Why are you questioning me so much!? I told you, I don't care if you even just use me as a tool!" She had stood when she started getting frustrated. However, now she falls to her knees and looks to the ground forlorn. "A year ago, my parents were killed during a robbery. At the time I was living with them; I saw it happen right in front of my eyes. I wanted nothing more than to make them pay for what they did, but the trail just drug on and on. Rumors were spreading that he was being framed. But then...It happened. Kira punished them for what they did, and killed them. From that day on, I wanted nothing more than to meet Kira and thank him".
"Light," I whisper, "I won't forgive you if you start cheating on me. Figure out a way around this". I won't forgive him if he fucks up my plans all to high hell and back. With Misa as his eyes...He'd have a mindless tool. I'd no longer have a spot at his side, and then I wouldn't be able to have such a good ability at protecting L; I'd be blind again.
"Misa, there's something I have to tell you," Light tells the teary girl. "I can't be your boyfriend. You see, I already have a girlfriend".
"What? No! Light, no one can be as useful as me! I'm the only one with the Shinigami eyes!" Misa insists.
"...While that's true, my girlfriend is even more reliable. I'd like you to meet her...Now," Light states.
"Now...? Is she on her way or something?" Misa asks with a worried gaze. Worried that she'd be a broken tool before even being used.
"No. She's been here all this time. Amane Misa, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Datenshi Lucifer," Light introduces.
Upon my cue, I become visible to her eyes, which widen. I haven't released Light all this time, so I'm still leaning against his back and hugging his shoulders from behind. My eyes trail to just above her head. I could have read her lifespan wrong, though it's doubtful. And I didn't. Her lifespan is much too long for it to be human. But everything about her screams it. There is no Amane Misa Seikatsuma. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Misa. As Light said, I am Datenshi Lucifer".
"...She's...So pretty," Misa's wide eyes stare at me. To show her my entire person, it being clad in a dark blue cropped top, black pants and the usual boots, I release Light and sit next to him. Instantly his hand takes my own, twining our fingers. "...And I can't see her lifespan or her name...Why?"
"Misa," Rem speaks up. "Do you remember me telling you about the natural hunter of we Shinigami?"
"Yes," her blue eyes meet my crimson hues.
"This woman is a Seikatsuma. She is very dangerous. For Light to have her by his side...There is no stopping him," Rem states.
Light nods, "Your Shinigami is right, Misa. And since you know about Seikatsuma, you must know that Lucifer is also my eyes...However...I can still use you. We will have to remain friends, but I can still use your eyes. You see Lucifer is my spy; a double agent," not yours, but yes, "She can't right out help me without getting both of us caught. You however...Can".
Misa's eyes roam from me to Light, back to me and then back to Light again, "I told you, I don't care if I'm just a tool. If we have to stay friends, so be it...But I don't care if you're a Seikatsuma, Lucifer. Mess up and I'll take Light away from you".
I grin, "I'd like to see you try, little girl". I bring Light's knuckles to my own, trailing my lips along them as though to mock her. Which I am. "Fuck with me, child, and I'll eat Rem. I can't eat Ryuk; I like him. Rem however...She's against me too. Watch your step". My eyes trail to the female Shinigami tauntingly before I lick my lips. Oh, I'm sure the girl hates me now.
