Genre: Drama/Romance
We're almost there, my friends. Enjoy this story and its final two chapters.
Rem didn't trust Light Yagami.
She didn't like the way he talked to Misa. She didn't like the way he looked at herself when he thought she wasn't looking. The joke is on him though, Rem always keeps her eye on the people she doesn't trust.
If Rem had hair on the back of her neck, it would stand up whenever Light was in the room. She might be a literal monster, but Light was the truly frightening one.
Despite Light's plan to have Misa cleared of all suspicion, she doubted it would really be as simple as that. From what she had seen, Light didn't make a move without setting someone up for sacrifice.
Rem wasn't stupid; she knew sooner or later it would be her.
Even now, as she watched the taskforce argue over the validity of the fake rules, she knew the wheels in Light's head were turning. He was fully Kira again. Someone was going to die soon, that much was certain.
Each day there was less and less room for mistakes. If she ever wanted to do something to make sure Misa would live, and live free, now might be the only time she had left to do it.
In the back of her mind she always knew it would end this way. It was the quiet whisper on the wind ever since the day Light strutted into Misa's life. The moment he discovered how to kill a shinigami, she knew that it would be her fate.
Rem would never wish to love Misa any less, even if it would spare her. She felt many things about their situation, but regret was never one of them. She would do this for Misa wholeheartedly. She would do it with the love Light could never give her.
With one last look at the crew determined to implicate Misa, Rem phased through the wall into the next room.
Without hesitation, she opened her notebook and wrote a single name.
Though she did not need to breathe, she did so in relief. Both she and Light Yagami would be dust in the wind soon enough.
