chapter 13

disclaimer: I do not own death note

Vanilla leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, thinking. L had recently taken Misa Amane into custody under suspicion of being the second kira. Vanilla would have never even guessed that it was possible for someone like her to be a killer, and she was still uncertain, but Ryuzaki had found physical evidence against her. She crossed her arms over her chest and listened to the sound of footsteps walking past her, she didn't need to open her eyes to know it was Ryuzaki as his footsteps were much quieter and more ninja-like than the rest of the task force members. She wasn't sure when she noticed this little detail but she wasn't worried about that right now.

"Watari, has she said anything yet?"

"no, she hasn't spoken a word"

"get me a visual of her, will you?"

"are you sure?"

"yes, and quickly" Vanilla heard the rest of the task force gasp but still didn't open her eyes. She could hear Amane, she sounded terrified.

"Ryuzaki, what's the meaning of this!?" she heard someone say angrily, but she didn't bother trying to figure out who.

"I apprehended her on suspicion of being the second kira, I'm afraid this is necessary "Chances are Amane is guilty. There seems to be enough evidence to convict her but all the same"

"yes, there can be no mistake. Now we need a confession out of her. we need to know how she kills, weather she knows kira, and if so who he really is. Watari, take the necessary precautions but beyond that you're free to do whatever has to be done. Just make her speak"

"very well"

"oh, and Mr. Yagami, Light has now become our prime suspect, I'm probably going to bring him in for interrogation as well, please be prepared for that"

~a few days later~

"Ryuzaki, Amane is talking"

"Quickly, get me a visual and audio" Vanilla almost laughed at how Ryuzaki threw himself onto the couch, but held it back after considering the seriousness of the situation.

"finally after Three days of this" Vanilla stood up and walked over to were the TV was.

"I can't take it anymore, kill me!" Amane said. Vanilla froze when she looked at the TV. In the room next to Amane was that Shinigami. "kill me, please just kill me..." Vanilla heard the other members of the task force talking but she was so shocked that she couldn't pay attention to anything besides the shinigami.

'if that's a shinigami, then she really is the second kira! why else would it be there! it could be for some other reason, but...' Vanilla's thoughts trailed off as the shinigami started talking.

"Misa, do you mean..."

"yes, kill me"

"do you really mean that Misa?"

"yes, I do"

'from the way the other task force members are reacting I think I'm the only one who can see or hear that creature' Vanilla thought. She tried to say something, to tell them what she saw, but she couldn't make herself say anything. Her mouth just hung open in shock.

"oh, I can't take it anymore, kill me"

"if I do this then Light Yagami dies too, this is all his fault"

"What!?" Vanilla said out loud, causing the rest of the task force members to jump and look at her strangely. She just stared ahead at the screen, not noticing anything around her.

"you can't, no you can't, Please just kill me!" there was a pause. "fine! if you won't kill me...!"

"Watari! stop her, don't let her bite her tongue!" Watari put a cloth over misa's mouth.

"is it possible that this behavior could be contributed to Kira controlling her actions before death?" Ryuzaki wonder out loud. there was silence in the room. Then she heard the shinigami speak again.

"Misa, when this is done you'll forget everything about shinigami and the death note"

Misa shook her head.

"it's okay. The human being who you love is Light Yagami, I promise those feelings will remain"

Misa stopped shaking her head.

"so Misa, forfeit ownership of the death note, and leave everything to Light Yagami"

Misa nodded.

The edges of Vanilla's vision went foggy and then everything turned black.
