AN:any review would be appreciated. It'll give me motivation to write more chapters :)

Mission: pose for the camera

'the closer you are to him the easier it'll be to save him. It doesn't matter if it positive attention'

You're on your own.

Blu threw a small black notebook towards me and I floundered around in an attempt to catch it. Before I could ask what it was for she launched into her explanation with a flurry of hand movements and excited smiles.

"I'm not allowed to directly interfere with this universe-something about abuse of power or whatever so you're here to help me and i know you never finished watching the anime, but I have a good feeling that you'll be able to save him. You're the smartest one out of all the others. The notebook is so you can plan what you want to do in order to save L. I know I know smart right.? I'll have to go soon before anybody notices i'm here, but take this also," She hastily placed down a small silver pendant onto the table,"If you die or are dying press this. It'll only work once cause that's all I could bargain for. Dan's really stubborn. Also keep Jiji, he'll help even if he doesn't want to," She placed an aggravated Jiji next to the pendant.

I blinked overwhelmed with her barrage of words.

"You're leaving me here? By myself." I said slowly. She nodded.

"I can visit you, but it would be risky,"

"Hasn't stopped you before," Muttered Jiji.

"But I have no idea what I'm doing. You can't just leave me in a fictional world!"

"You'll be fiiiiiiine," She waved her hand in a casual manner, "You have plot armour,"

"Plot arm-," Blu's watch beeped loudly cutting me off. She frowned at.

"Time's up. I'll see you later. Jiji will explain anything I missed," She grinned widely and just...poofed out of existence. Gone. Just like that.

I looked around the cafe. Nobody had noticed.

I sighed and cradled my head in my hands. I looked up at Jiji.

"Your owner's an asshole,"

The apartment was a small place with horrid pale green walls with a thick layer of dust on everything. The walls were paper thin and the neighbours were loud, but it was still habitable. For a girl and a cat it was big enough.

Blu was gone. Jiji had disappeared somewhere. I was by myself in the small living room with nothing but the pendant and notebook in my possession.

I slipped the pendant over my head and let the cold chain rest against my neck. Hopefully I wouldn't need it. I then flipped open the notebook to the first page.

december 20th-Bus hijacking.

december 27th-Raye Penber dies.

The dates went on and on, notes scribbled next to them telling me when and where these events would happen. I huffed. At least my life was getting a little interesting.

It was the 19th and the sun was already setting. The bus jacking would take place early in the morning, but I still had enough time to figure out what I should do. Should i prevent Light seeing Penbers' badge or should I just leave it.

I came to a conclusion hours later. it was well into the night or i guess morning when i decided.

Blu wouldn't be very happy. She had liked Penber when we watched the anime.

I looked around the bus in search for a vacant seat. I didn't even have to look at Jiji to know how annoyed he was. he was sighing and constantly adjusting himself on my shoulder. His longs whiskers tickled against my cheeks and his claws were digging a little too deeply into my shoulder. He didn't want to be here either.

Neither of us wanted to get on a bus with a murderer and a shinigami. Neither of us were particularly happy about being in the crossfire of a maniac with a gun either, but Blu's notes in the notebook were adamant.

We sat at the back of the bus, Jiji perched on the seat next to me.

"Stay low. We don't wanna attract any attention," I whispered. I adjusted the face mask slightly. The bus was slowly filling up with people, but the back was fairly empty so nobody would hear me. Jiji didn't reply to me and just rested his head on the seat.

'Rude'

The next few minutes were spent with me listening to Blu's Ipod and Jiji relaxing on the seat next to me until the bus stopped again. He stepped on, a girl standing close beside him and behind him was Ryuk. I barely managed to not gasp in shock. His hulking figure cast dark shadows over Light and the girl, but his voice was worse. It grated at my ears. He looked out of place in all of his animated glory, but I refrained from looking at him any longer. If he noticed me I would be screwed.

The FBI agent was behind them, but his presence wasn't very intriguing when compared to a mass murderer and a god of death

I tilted my hat down and slid further down in my seat. The sat two seats in front of me, but their presence was still enough to put me on edge.

I nervously waited for the bus to stop again and when it did I jumped up from my seat and walked to the front. The man began to get on. I glanced at the gun in his hand and sighed in resigned annoyance as he raised the gun to my head and began to shout.

'who knew being in an amine would be so tedious'

He dragged me back onto the bus and I watched Jiji with disdain when he leapt out of the bus. He sauntered away from the doors with pleased smirk on his face.

The plan was to become a hostage but I wasn't exactly excited about it. There was a gun pressed to my head for fucks sake.

I was barely listening to what he was shouting; too preoccupied with the sudden thought of how easily I could die right now. What if his finger slipped? What if he dragged me out into the traffic with him and I was bulldozed by a truck that would splatter my guts everywhere? What if-

"Ow!" I yelped. The guy had suddenly thrust the guns nozzle into my neck. That was definitely gonna bruise. The passengers visibly startled at my sudden shout. I side eyed him to see if he had seen Light yet. Nope. Hadn't even glanced at him.

Light tried to drop the paper more obviously and I watched with faint amusement at his irritated expression. It seemed to work this time as the gun guy began to wave his gun in Light's general direction. I had completely blocked out his screaming at this point. A headache was already forming

I missed the exact moment he saw Ryuk, but it was made obvious to me when I suddenly found myself on the floor with a screaming man above me. I huffed and attempted to rise only to throw myself back down when he began to shoot.

Ryuk was laughing. No, cackling. That shit was gonna haunt my dreams.

The whole thing didn't last very long thankfully. My only real purpose here was to put myself on L's radar. To make myself seem useful. I just wished it happened without me ending up with a bruised face.

I rose quickly and left the bus along with the other passengers. I didn't want to give anyone the chance to talk to me. Outside people were gathering along with eager reporters crowding around the scene. Their heavy cameras were clenched tightly in their grasp and filming the entire thing. Perfect.

I kept my head down, but purposefully walked in the background of the shot. He would only find me if he was looking. All I had to do was wait.
