A/N: Look at that, I managed to post a chapter! Woo-hoo!
I do not own Death Note. If I did, Matt would have gotten more screen time. He's badass and you know it.
Chapter 14. Reveal
There was silence in the room. Light sat on his bed in front of the second Kira, who's name was Misa Amane, as she introduced herself. She wasn't using an alias, I could see that. I could also see that Rem was eying me almost suspiciously.
This girl, Misa, was sitting on Light's chair. She looked rather strained, but who wouldn't in this situation. She was blond and had two ponytails. Her outfit was dark material. I remembered the two girls from Aoyama. This one didn't look anything like one of them but if I look closely I could see some details from the face that were the same as that black-haired one's. So I concluded that on that day she used a disguise, which was really clever. But what about her brown-haired friend? She must have seen that her friend suddenly looked different. How did Misa explain that to her?
''How did you find me?'' Light finally asked.
''I knew it.'' Misa gasped. ''You really don't have the shinigami eyes. You see, when you have the Eyes, you can see most people's names and lifespans just by looking at them. However, you can't see the lifespan of another human who has a Death Note.''
Light glared at me angrily. I was genuinely shocked by that.
''Umm, sorry, didn't know that.'' I chuckled nervously. ''Seriously.''
''Very well, you managed to find me.'' Light looked back at her. His voice than changed to angry. ''But you were careless. What if you were been caught by the police, then they'd know all about Kira.''
''It's okay, because the police didn't catch me, and if I do as you say, they never will.'' Misa defended. ''So we're safe. After all, don't you need someone to see L's name? If you want, I could be your eyes.'' She then lowered her head, like if she was modest of something. ''So...''
''So what?''
''Will you please make me your girlfriend?'' She suddenly looked at him and shot out the words.
I let out a short hysterical laugh. Then I bit my fist to prevent me from laughing further. She's really asking Light to his girlfriend? Oh, I definitely didn't expect that. This just gets more and more interesting...
''Girlfriend?'' Light was taken aback. ''Impossible. The day we were both in Aoyama, there were three times more surveillance cameras than usual. Everyone who was that day in Aoyama was definitely caught on camera, that includes me. If you and I would be seeing each other, it wouldn't look very good. In fact, even you being here now can cause trouble. I'd wish you'd understand that...''
Misa then quickly took out some photos out of her bag. She held them out for Light to see. ''But look, these are pictures of how I looked that day I went to Aoyama.''
''It's true Light.'' I nodded looking at them. ''She definitely looked like that. I had a hard time figuring out the similarities between them but it worked just because I knew it was the same person.''
''A-And what about your fingerprints? All those tapes you sent to the TV station. They all had the same fingerprints on them.'' Light continued to interrogate her.
''Yeah, but those aren't my fingerprints. It's not like I do these things without thinking about them!'' Misa shouted back. ''Recently I met this foreign girl and became friends with her. She was rather strange, I should say. First of all, she gave me an alias. She always wore dark sunglasses and refused to take them off no matter it was day or night, and she acted weird when asked about a look or something like that. The day I met her I even gave her an alias, since she gave me one too. I was sure she would ask me why I did so, because I thought she would recognize me. But she didn't say anything, even when she supposedly went through some magazines in which I was in. After some time I began to think she was blind. I never asked her if she was but after I showed up in my disguise and she didn't say anything about it, I was almost sure she couldn't see. And that came in handy. Supposedly she didn't want anyone to think she was blind and I used that in my advantage. I asked her to help me with a ' class project'. That, of course, were the tapes. She did everything I asked her and prepared the tapes. Then I just took them from her and added the voice effect. That way my fingerprints weren't on the them.''
So that's who was with her that day... But still...
''And where is your friend now?'' Light asked further.
''Why are you doing this?!'' Misa was getting frustrated. ''If you me to kill her, just say so and I'll kill her!''
''That girl she's talking about,'' I started and looked at Light. ''She was in Aoyama that day too with her.''
''If you still can't trust me, then here.'' Misa took out her Death Note out of her black bag and reached it out to the teenager. ''I'll even let you hold on to my Death Note. But you'll just be holding it, so I will remain the owner of it. And that means I get to keep my shinigami eyes. Isn't that right Rem?'' She looked at the shinigami.
''Yes, that's correct.'' She nodded.
''Now there's no way I could possibly kill you.'' Misa said when Light took her note. ''And if I became a bergen to you, then you can just kill me, okay?''
Wow, she's really going far with this... I wonder why?
''But you might have removed several pages from your Death Note. You could be hiding them somewhere for all I know.'' Light still refused to trust her.
''Why are you so suspicious of me?!'' Misa shouted and stood up. ''I didn't even thought about that! I already told you that I don't care if even all you do is use me! Believe me.'' She almost begged.
The girl then fell down on the floor. She looked so helpless in that position. Misa then told Light a story about how a year ago a man murdered her parents. The trial went on forever and people began to think he was being falsely accused. And then Kira punished the criminal.
''That's why Kira means everything to me.'' Misa finished with a determined tone. ''All I ever wanted was a chance to meet you one day. So I could thank you for what you did.''
Tears dropped down her face. She was sincere. Light didn't do anything for some time, just looked at her and thought. Then he got up and walked over to her. I didn't quite know what he was planning, but I was sincerely shocked when he fell down and hugged her.
''I understand.'' He said softly to her. ''I can't be your boyfriend but I can act like it. The lengths you went through to help me... And those eyes you got will be my greatest weapon.''
''T-Thank you so much.'' Misa chocked through tears. ''I-I'll try my best to make you love me, I promise.''
Try your best? Do you really think... Nevermind. You obviously do.
''So you'll just pretend?'' Misa asked again when Light finally moved back. ''I guess that's a good start. Well, now that we've talked about that, can you show me your shinigami? I really want to see her.''
Light was surprised by that. I as well. But I had nothing against it.
''Alright.'' I shrugged. Light didn't ask me but I felt like I needed to approve. ''You know, for some reason I like her.'' I chuckled.
''Yeah, sure.'' Light said and stood up. ''Can you please turn around?''
Misa did as told. He then took out a piece of Death Note paper out of his wallet and touched her hand with it. Then he put it back and told her she could look now.
''Hello.'' I smiled as she looked at me.
''Oh, you're so different from Rem! I can easily tell you're a female. I already know your name. It's Kamiko, right? Nice to meet you.'' Misa said. She then glanced at her shinigami with a slight of... fear? ''Rem told me you are a traitor to the shinigami realm. Why is that?''
Oh, she's really straightforward.
''Did she now?'' I glared at Rem. ''Well, it's not true. I am not a traitor. The Shinigami Kind just gave me the ability to change to human form and live here on Earth. For research purposes.'' I shrugged. ''And my fellow shinigami think I betrayed them by choosing this life. If I,'' My tone rose. ''Chose a more interesting life with more purpose in it, that doesn't make me a traitor. And they don't have to be jealous of it.'' That was directed more to Rem. I could see her glaring at me with anger and disgust.
''Oh, well that's interesting.'' Misa said with amazement. ''And how do you look in your human form?''
''Actually, quite similar to what I look now.'' I chuckled. ''Just less black.''
I looked at the clock in the room.
''Light, as much as I would want to stay and chat but I got to go. I promised Ryuzaki I would come back after two hours.''
''Who's Ryuzaki?'' Misa asked confused.
''Light will explain.'' I laughed. ''Bye, you see you later.''
With that I flew out of the room. What an interesting evening.
A/N: Okay, okay, now listen. This chapter is shorter because I wanted to put more into the next one. By the way, it will be the last chapter in this story. The continuation will be named 'The Duo'. Don't ask why. Just roll with it.
I'll put both Kamiko's and Caitlyn's summaries in the first chapter for those who didn't read both of the stories but I strongly recommend you do so. You will understand more.
Please tell me what you think, I always love me some reviews!
