I was nervous. As soon as I ran I knew I had to do something. I heard by basic word on the street. I took clothing from the homeless shelter for each of us. We went door to door asking for jobs. Soon we scored. For a little cash we were hired to work a small manga store. Mike and James worked the back and shipping part of it. I worked as the librarian and cashier. We still were homeless but we were not without the ability to buy things we needed like a little food, a little bag to carry my note book, and scissors. We also saved for the important items for my plan.
I kept an eye on news for Misa. After a month we found her. My hair was cut by now and I dyed it red so I would throw off police. I also had made sure to have heals so I appeared taller. Yes this meeting I had, I went and prepped for. I then followed her without heals on to find a good place to put my plan into action. She went to an ally and I seized my chance.
I had my face concealed. Taking a page from Light's book, I whispered "I know what you have cause I have one too. Now my friends and I don't want the world to know. However right now there are three note books so understand I can kill you. So consider yourself a hostage Misa Amane. Nod if you understand" She nodded. "good now I want you to call your manager and tell them that you have some friends James,Mike and Ace and they need keys .Do this and we will be just fine, don't and we will kill you and make it look like you drowned in your tub and we will take your stuff" I said. She gulped and picked up her phone or a phone to call the manager.
Thank god James and Mike were still in the store working. One they would be shocked at me being like this. Two they would think I was being corrupted. I was shocked I could do something like this without trouble but I kept my cool. This was not the time to panic. I listened as she did what she told. She then looked at me with the corner of her eye. "Now you will walk away and go to manga blue and meet us and we will help you meet Kira" I said and walked her towards the back of our old work place. She changed from fearful to ecstatic asking why I didn't just tell her before she'd gladly help us. I didn't give a response to that. James was just done lifting the last box of books. She was shocked at how James and mike looked. I admit we looked rough.
"oh you poor things Misa will come and take good care of you any friend of Ace's is a friend of mine" she said. I hugged her and so did James lifting her off the ground like he did me. Not that we were that different in height as an adult I'd be maybe an inch taller than her but basically Misa Amane was a good indication of my stature. After that Mike showed up and Misa saw him. Our boss was very thankful for the money she paid cause we'd be resigning. She then pulled that same cell phone she called for some men's clothing. Wow she was a nice ally to have.
When we got there, They could only do two rooms. "That's ok Ace and I can room together" she said. James and Mike looked at each other. Mike then agreed that it was best. James relented.
"we are close by if you need us" they said. I then watched them leave and went into Misa's golden room and asked her if I could barrow some clothing after the shower I was going to take.
"Sure you look small for my stuff though so I'll have to get you some smaller stuff later" she said. I went to the bathroom, stripped myself of my pants that were too big, and my also too big shirt, and stepped in the shower. I turned it on and let the dirt run off me. My eyes closed as I sighed in relief. There wasn't anything bad going to happen to me right now.
