Misa woke up to the sound of banging on her door. She put on a robe and answered to Watari

"I believe you requested a meeting with L"

"Uh yeah" Misa was surprised that he saw her message

She arrived at the taskforce and was searched thoroughly. She was led into a room with a computer on it and a camera. An L was on the screen. Misa, I'm sorry for these precautions but they're necessary considering the situation

Misa gulped, "It doesn't matter you don't have to guess anymore. I'm the second Kira." She burst into tears.

Across the screen L was perplexed. He did not expect this especially since their names have gotten cleared.

L's perspective

What was going on. Was this another one of Light's games? No it doesn't make sense both of them have been cleared because of the 13 day rule.

"Amane you do realize it's impossible for you to be the second Kira because of the 13 day rule and that's why we were forced to clear you right?"

She was still crying. If she was acting she was really good at it. "That rule is fake. I"m the second Kira and I don't want to be anymore. When I got my memories back..I just wish I hadn't. I hate living with what I know and I miss how happy I was when I had no memory of it. That and Light wants to kill you and then kill me"

So was it really them losing their memories the whole time. That would make the most sense, nobody could've been as convincing as they were during their confinement. The 13 day rule is fake. This entire investigation is connecting together. Or is that what they want me to think? Of course I knew Light wanted to kill me. And it never made sense me why he kept Misa alive. I suppose there wasn't enough time to get rid of her considering we were able to confine her right away.

"Why Misa should I believe you? It's clear you always do what Light tells you to. So tell me is this another one of his plans?" Of course I didn't believe that. It's out of character for Light. It's out of character for Misa. Her acting was terrible as seen very clearly with our infiltration to Yotsuba. Unless that in itself was an act. No nothing else makes sense right now except Misa actually coming clean.

"Misa if your actually the second Kira you realize that means your execu"

"You hurt Misa in any way and I will write your name in my death note, L Lawliet"

I jumped not realizing the shinigami was paying attention to what was happening. So that's it. That's why Light never killed Misa. I looked through the screen to see Misa trembling.

"Take a few minutes to calm down Miss Amane" i turned off the mic and addressed Rem

"So that's what Light's plan was. He wanted to use you to kill me once Misa started killing again and I tested out the 13 day rule. Tell me Rem are you allowed to interfere like that?"

"Most shinigamis do not interfere. Any attempt to lengthen a human's lifespan through killing someone and I will die. However I care for Misa and I am willing to go to that length to save her"

"So you would die. And then with both of us out of the way, he could get rid of Misa. If Misa didn't come here today, he would've definitely won." I could not have known any of this no matter how amazing of a detective I was. Who would possibly think a shinigami would be willing to die for a human. Light was so close to winning.

"How do you know he would get rid of Misa if we were both gone" I looked over to see Rem furious. If a shinigami could actually look angry.

"The Kira I've been investigating works alone. He's always worked alone. He leaves no room for mistakes and he certainly does leave room for love. And if Light is Kira it's clear their relationship has been one sided since the beginning. I am 70% certain he would've gotten rid of Misa after both of us were gone"

"So that is how it is Light Yagami. Maybe I should write his name down in my death note right now. Tell me L, is there a way to save Misa, or should I just kill both of you"

"Well considering she confessed, if she helps me take down the first Kira, maybe loses her memories, a testimony from me, a call in favor, considering there's a shinigami on her side, and we say she was under the influence of the first Kira, I am 100% sure I can get her crimes pardoned"

The shinigami nodded looking relieved.

"Okay Misa" I turned on the mic and she looked up looking a lot more calm now. "I will be able to get your crimes pardoned if you help finish this case. Now I'm assuming you have a second death note."

Her eyes lit up "yes I don't have it with me but i can describe the place it's in"

"Okay Misa I'll send someone to get it right now. Of course we'll have to make sure it's the real thing first. But for now, why don't you tell me your story and why you've decided to betray Light"

I listened to Misa's story unsurprised. Everything was as I expected to have happened. So I was right all along. But what I didn't expect was Misa to just betray Light like that. Even if the shinigami told her Light's plan. Apparently she did have some sense in her head.

Yes, the other shinigami. If that shinigami is attached to the other notebook, it probably won't be needed to test it after all. Again unless this was all an act. But I didn't think so, it did not make sense to be one, and I was willing to wager on it.
