Yesterday depressed me.

In chemistry my second lesson with this teacher and we get told were starting coursework we have to do everything, make up the experiment, quantities, concentrations, what i'm finding out etc. and I have about a month. I am so incredibly screwed.

i also have double chemistry following the double maths. I miss one of my lie ins because of personal tutor time and my form group are a bunch of idiots and butt monkeys.

i'm happier now, i got this chapter finished.

A clone of Max's waited outside the window with another as back up. Max herself wouldn't be doing the hit, not with two shingami and at least one that would kill her if she endangered the first mark. The second mark's shingami probably couldn't care less. The clones had been henged into stereotypical ninjas with plain faces. A clone sent out to front saw the mark walking up to the door and alerted the others. They got ready for action.

The mark was escorted to the bed room, as soon as the death note was shown, clone one slide the window open and jumped in grabbing the book and jumped out again. the target was in their possession but their mission only part complete. The next part would be harder how to get it into Max's possession without it being suspicious. Max only had a basic plan for this and would have to be spontaneous.

She was walking undisguised across a park with a messenger bag at her side. Truth was she had her mask and beanie hidden under a Henge. She had been given the day off. The ninjas were jumping across buildings but miscalculated a jump landing in the deserted park that Max was walking in. one of them tripped over her due to the fact Max was oblivious. What she didn't know was L had seen the ninjas roof jumping and been following via the cameras.

Max shivered in excitement, as one of the ninjas headed towards her.

"We need to erase any witnesses" said one of the three. As one they piled on at her, only to be deflected by a series of blocks. L was watching this and mildly impressed by the skill those moves had been performed. The fight continued, Max versus the three clones.

She was careful not to hit any fatal blows or they would disappear and look suspicious. The fight didn't stay in one place but it moved around a load Max was glad that the park was empty.

She had noticed the cameras around though. When Max broke one of their legs and the arm of another they decided to leave, they had dropped the book by accident in one of their jumps and Max watched it fall with a curious expression. When it hit the floor she ventured over and picked it up obviously examining it. Shrugging she picked it up and walked off.

Max smirked inwardly. Her plan had worked and she now had a death note in her possession. Next problem, she didn't own it she would have to wait just less than a year to own it as long as she kept it from Misa. Even better though, Light hadn't gotten around to touching it so he couldn't see Rem.

When she was sure that there were no eyes on her she took the note book out of her bag and hid it in her waist band under her Tee-shirt hidden by another Henge. She now had three layers of Henge but with her chakra supply it barley dented it.

Max now had hit a blank in her plan, now what was she supposed to do. Laura was still working with L indirectly. L still didn't even suspect his temporary partner was living next door.

The next day was funny, Light was in a pissed off mood and snapped at everyone, Max wasn't helping matters by flicking more paper at him and only talking to him in German. L didn't mind, in is eyes if Light was Kira and then he would either make a mistake or Max would die. He would be sad about her death but he would catch Kira.

The next day L was planning to arrest Misa, they had finished looking through the evidence and it all pointed to her. Max had gone along as Psi to analyse Light behaviour and piss him off some more.

As Max had hoped the arrest went of without a hitch, and she got some quality taunts in. Bad thing, she was allocated the job of watching Misa's camera.

"Why do I have to watch her?" Max whined, she didn't want to do something boring. She led a high octane lifestyle and liked it she didn't like sitting idle for long periods of time watching a screen.

"Unless you would prefer a guy watched her like a pervert" said L.

"Make Light watch her, they are going out"

"He isn't allowed here anymore unless I say he can"

"Damn, why don't you … um … uh, damn I got nothing" sighed Max as she slouched on the chair in front of the screen. She hadn't realised she had fallen asleep until she was being shaken awake by L. She was never so glad she had gotten rid of her loss of consciousness/Henge failing issue. It was mainly because she normally fell unconscious when she was low on chakra so it wasn't too hard to deal with the problem.

"Psi, you are supposed to be watching the screen not sleeping" lectured L not unkindly; he was crouched on the table between her and the TV eating cake.

"It's so boring though, if Light was here I could at least bug him but no I have to watch some boring video" Max said rolling over onto her side and tried to get comfortable.

"Did you know you talk in your sleep?"

"Do I?" Max said, a million reasons why he had asked this went through her head.

"There is a 7 percent chance you're Kira" that meant he'd tried looking at her back ground. That or she really did talk in her sleep.

"You tried to look into my background didn't you" asked Max. She could hear the shock from the other task force members, she'd hit the right spot.

"My alias 'Psi' doesn't have a background for you to look into, you probably assumed from my accent I could have lived in America and from the fact I speak German I could have lived in Germany, therefore looked for someone under my description from those two countries and the countries that speak those languages dominantly. you can do a lot with a picture of someone, several point on someone's face are over looked by someone disguising themselves with something like a latex mask, I made no such mistake" she said. This was the first time she had shown that she could be intelligent.

"11 percent" said L

"I can prove I wasn't even in this country when the killing began, but that would also mean showing my ID, which ain't going to happen unless I trust someone" Said Max.

"12 percent"

"There's a 38 percent chance you made up that percentage and 45 percent chance your being an asshole right now" said Max in a chirpy voice. She didn't miss the sniggers from the others, she got up and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To get something with a ton of caffeine or alcohol, no wait… damn I wish I was 20 then I could get alcohol" Max said before walking out and dramatically slamming the door behind her.

Luck had it on the way to the nearest shop she bumped into Light, he ignored her until he got a proper glance. It was dark so he had to squint a bit to recognise her. Ryuk was looking at her in general.

"Psi?"

"Tis my name" Max answered reflexively.

"I thought you were working"

"I'm taking a break I need fuel in the form of caffeine"

"You're as bad as Ryuuga"

"No. He's worse, now if you don't mind I need to get caffeine, now, so move out of my way" she could have sworn he was doing this on purpose. He kept moving in front of her.

"Dude if you don't get out of my way then you will see what damage a caffeine deprived addict can do"

"How's Misa"

"Now you'd think you would have asked that first, ya know being devoted boyfriend and all" said Max making her American accent more pronounced.

"I was just surprised to see you out of the room, you get out about as much as Ryuuga"

"That shows how little you know, now stop distracting me and move" Max said shoving Light out of the way. There was a drunk comment from a random guy.

"Looks like you pissed of your girlfriend there buddy" he slurred before taking another swig from his bottle, and wrapping an arm around Lights shoulders. Ryuk quietly sniggering.

"How about we go find somewhere quieter" the drunk man offered Light in a drunk kind of seductive way. Max almost fell over laughing so hard. She wasn't the only one, Ryuk's sniggering had gone to full blown laughter.

"Owie … I think I … cracked a rib … or five" Max gasped out before collapsing to the ground in fits of giggles. If Light had known he name she would have died so many times over, one from the glare alone. Light carefully took the arm from around his shoulders and moved it over to a lamppost and Max did almost die when the man started getting cosy with it.

"And that is why you shouldn't drink too much" Max said when she had finally composed herself.

"That guy was defiantly interested in you" Max sniggered

"Shut up"

She then continued down the road to the shops, she noticed Light still walking just behind her. Ryuk still floating over his shoulder.

"Why are you still here?"

"You're young enough to be a target for attackers and rapists"

"If they're anything like that last one then you need protection not me" Max giggled.

"Please don't mention that to anyone"

"Or what? It's too funny to not tell some one"

"Are you blackmailing me?"

"No even if you tried to bribe me something, I would still tell" they had reached the shop and Max was browsing the drinks isle with a basket on hand. She found the Japanese version of Red Bull and piled it into the basket, she could feel the plastic straining to hold it all. Light went to the fruit section and got some apples. At the counter she got some funny looks but she explained she was having a party and the cashiers left it.

Max and Laura had been given an allowance for this mission and Max had other money, she just knew that most of it was going on caffeine stuff. They exited the store and headed back.

"Do you need help carrying that, it looks heavy" offered Light politely, Max snorted.

"You can't come back with me, so stop following me and no the bags are fine" she said lifting one of the bags easily up to her chin to show it didn't strain her.

"But it's dangerous for a young girl to be out alone"

"I will be fine, now leave me alone or I will call the police and say your stalking me" Max threatened wielding a bag in a manner similar to that of a mace. Light finally got the hint and left her alone so Max finished walking back to the hotel. She couldn't walk past the lamppost that was still getting molested by the drunk without giggling. That could have been Light.

Back in the room Max dumped the bags by her seat in front of the Misa watching screen.

"Did you buy half the shop or something" asked one of the guys. Max figured she should learn names but as usual couldn't be bothered.

"No" she said as she flopped down and reached a hand into the closest bag and withdrew a can.

The next morning Watari brought in the paper and gave it to Max.

"Read page five" Max turned to the page and laughed. The title for the article was 'Getting too friendly with a lamppost?' and was about the guy who was molesting the lamppost, it had short circuited and fused flesh to the post. Apparently the guy had been trying to get sexually intimate with it.

"Thought you would need a laugh" in return for the paper Max told them about the meeting with Light. She was glad the task force didn't get in till later.

Three days later Max was still in that seat, watching the camera the only time she had moved were for pee breaks. She reached into the bag only to find it empty. Completely devoid of cans. She tried another bag to get the same results.

"Damn" she exclaimed making the others jump.

"What"

"I ran out of caffeine" Max said mournfully. They looked at the tower behind her, it was one can on top of another in a single tower almost reaching the ceiling. Next to it was the beginnings of a new tower. What was really funny was she hadn't left her seat to build it, she had just tossed it behind her.

"I think you've had enough" said Light's father.

"Well if I wasn't stuck watching this screen then I wouldn't have this problem, so it's L's fault" just that second Misa started her speech of wanting to die. Max could see Rem in the back ground. Max still had the Death note in her waist band, it was the safest place. She caught the last words.

"So you give up ownership of the note book" asked Rem

"Yes" was Misa's final word before becoming unconscious. Max smiled, she was the new owner of the Death note. Rem left the room via a wall no doubt head to where the death note was. With Max. 'Damn' Max thought, she would have to play then next part carefully. If she wanted to stay living she would have to persuade Rem that she wouldn't harm Misa.

"What do you think happened" asked a voice next to Max's ear. This surprised Max so much she fell of the chair.

"Is it entirely possible that you don't sneak up behind me?"

"14 percent"

"I hate you"

"15 percent"

"Fine, I'm leaving. My replacement will be here in a few days. Have a nice day" Max said before leaving. Max didn't have any intention of leaving the case. She just planed on changing her disguise and accent. She left the building and came back as normal going to the room next door to report to Laura.

"I'm stumped; there are no links or clues to the murderer" Said Laura

"I can't prove it without falsely incriminating my self, I got a copy of the murder weapon"

"Give me a clue"

"The weapon isn't human made" Laura's eyes widened

"You have a death note, like the one you were talking about in that chemistry lesson when we were discussing how to murder someone"

"Yup, I actually own one. I stole it then the person gave it up so it now belongs to me"

"This could be a way of defeating Voldemort" smirked Laura, a smile found its way onto Max's face, this wasn't a nice smile, it was an evil smile.

"Oh and by the way, I walked out on the task force, L was being an ass, so tell him to expect someone with the code name Mu" Max said, Laura tutted.

"Obsessed with Greek letters much? Why did you walk out, now i need to create a new profile for you"

"Just be glad I didn't maim him, then you would have had to work on your own for this" Max commented before heading to the bathroom for a long shower. She contemplated her new disguise and came up with the perfect one. She would be going as a guy. After hanging around with her team mates a lot in the past she had gotten the hang of acting like a teenage boy.

She waited three days before going out and coming back henged as a tall boy with really pale, short, spiked up hair and blue eyes. She had her baseball cap that she had used at Hogwarts. She still had the mask under Henge. Rem was following her.

It had been only yesterday Rem had turned up. They had made a deal, Rem wouldn't write down her or L's name down in any death note and Max wouldn't harm Misa physically or emotionally such as excluding her or ignoring her. Light, however, was fair game. Max had asked about L's name not being put down because she may think he was a prat but he didn't deserve to die.
