Chapter 10
AN: To be honest, I hated Misa in the original Death Note. She was SOOOOO annoying! In this Fanfiction, though, I've grown really attached to Misa and I am sad to see her go, but it had to happen, she did not die in vain! She put Light and L on the right track!
The next thing Misa knew she was standing in a grey, barren wasteland. She took a moment to observe her rocky surroundings before noticing two people, a man and a woman, sitting down in front of a puddle. She noticed the man was her boyfriend stealer, Mikami, but she did not recognize the other woman. Misa figured if Mikami was here, wherever here was, she must be dead. She walked over to the two, and without even exchanging a glance, she sat next to them. "So I'm guessing if you're here they did have the dream." Naomi Misora said after a moment of silence. "Dream? You mean you made me have that dream?" "She didn't exactly make you have it." Mikami butted in. "Once here, in Mu, you can send one person who's still alive a message through dreams, but only once." Mikami explained. "Well why didn't you just tell me who Kira was?" Misa asked, a little aggravated. "That's the thing, we couldn't. You don't get to choose how the dream goes, but the message will always be there, even if it is unhelpfully vague." Misora said. "Oh...well, I hope I helped Light and Hideki a bit." "You mean L." Mikami cut her off. "L?" Misa thought she heard wrong. "Yes. Here, just sit back and watch the show." Mikami pointed at the puddle. Once Misa got a little closer she could see L and Light holding her dead body. "Wait a sec...One…two…yeah! There are only two of you, so how did you make the three of us have a dream?" Misa asked in sudden realization. "We didn't, I sent L's dream and Mikami sent Light's," Misora started. "I guess you're just psychic or something, either that or you were just lucky."
…
The day before, Misa had been brought to headquarters by L and Light and Soichiro reported the whole thing to the police. Misa was to have a funeral, however, none of them could risk attending, Kira may be watching, and knowing now about the Shinigami eyes, they would be extra cautious to hide their faces. L ran into headquarters late that day. "Everyone! There's been another Kira killing, but this one is VERY different." L said. "How do you know it was Kira then?" Aizawa asked. "Do not question my genius." L answered clearly. Light snatched a piece of paper out of L's hand. He began to read. "Body found in an abandoned house at the corner of Jane Street and Mayberry Avenue. Police responded to a call by a neighbor saying that she thought she could hear screaming. Police found that the body had been cut up and the right arm severed, however this was not the cause of death, the cause of death was a heart attack." "That's disturbing!" Matsuda said, shivering. "This case is odd because it sounds like a Kira murder but it's not his or her style. Which leads me to believe one of two things: A) there are two death notes and another Kira, or B) Kira is working with somebody."
"What should we do, L?" Soichiro asked. "We could keep going with our normal investigation routines, but we should not risk taking our time. I believe we could lower the amount of deaths that happen between now and the time we catch Kira if we had some help." "And where would we get this help?" Light asked L. "I have some friends." Is all L said. He then left the room with Watari. "See what you can find out while I'm gone."
After a few twists and turns, Watari and L reached a separate room filled with touch screen monitors with all sorts of different letters on them, and one microphone in the middle of all of them near an office chair. Watari waited by the door while L skilfully stepped over wires to make his way to the chair. Once seated, he turned on the microphone and bit his thumbnail. After a few seconds he said "These two." And tapped two monitors, one with an M and one with an N. L spoke into the microphone. "Long time no see Near, Mello." "HOW COME YOU SAID NEAR'S NAME FIRST HMM!?" The person called Mello yelled through munches of chocolate. "Calm down, Mello. He obviously just thinks I'm better suited to be his successor." Mello Growled. "So what is it you need, boss?" Mello asked. "I'm assuming you two have been watching the Kira case?" L asked the two monitors, still only displaying the letters. "Of course." They said in unison. "I believe I could close this case faster if you two helped." "YOU MEAN WE GET TO GO THERE!? TO YOU!?" Mello yelled with excitement. "It would be my honour." Near said with a never changing monotone voice. "Good, I will see you both tomorrow morning. Watari will send you the directions." And with that, L shut off the microphones and tapped both screens again.
"She's fat!" A man said in a dark house. Two people, including the man with the remark, were standing around a plump woman, restrained with leather straps and lying on a metal slab, the only light in the room shining on her. "Maybe we should cut off some of her skin, no?" The man offered. "If you must." Somebody else, standing in the corner of the room with a notebook and a pen said. "But try not to kill her; we did capture her to get information on L's real name." "Dooohhhh! FINE!" The man whined. "I-If you're Kira, you c-can't kill me without my name, right?" The woman squeaked, looking over at the man in the corner. "Hehehe, you would think, but my friend over here has VERY special eyes, you see! A HA HA HA HA HA HA!" That night there was another call to the police. This time the neighbour said that it was a woman's bone chilling scream. The police, knowing that this was the same woman calling them last night said they would "Be right on it." But did nothing because they all thought she was hearing things.
Back in Mu, Misa had been watching all of these events through the puddle. "I still don't understand." She said. "I don't think I'm psychic, there must have been SOMEONE that sent me that dream!" "There was." A man said. Mikami, Misora and Misa all snapped their heads away from the puddle to see who had spoken. It was a sharp looking man with short brown hair and glasses, and a woman with long blond hair and black lipstick. "MOM! DAD!" Misa sprang up and hugged her parents. She did not cry tears of happiness or joy, for tears could not form in Mu. "We combined our dream messaged to make a more specific dream so that you might be able to help your friends." Misa Misa's Mama Mama said. "We never thought it would get you here." Misa's dad said regretfully. "It's okay!" Misa said. She was just happy to have her parents back. They all sat down around the puddle and continued to watch events unfold.
AN: That was a bit of a boring chapter, but it was necessary to move forward with the Fanfic. There was a lot of stuff that went on in the background that you saw in this chapter! Just so you can get a bit of a vision in your head, I pictured the Skyrim house Hjerim in Windhelm for the abandoned house in this chapter. It's creepier now, isn't it?
