Beyond stared blankly into the crowd choosing his next pickpocket target, Misa continued on about her life, hardly listening to her, he caught a detail that interested him. "Wait. Wait. You're telling me… You had this guy, he was a complete dickhead… And you stayed?"

Misa blinked a couple of times, "Misa loved him."

Beyond rolled his eyes and muttered, "And they called me crazy…" He sighed, "So it was a one sided romance…" Beyond scowled slightly, "Those are the worst." Misa dug into her wallet and pulled out a picture of her and Light.

Misa handed Beyond the picture, "This was us." Beyond raised an eyebrow at a scowling brunette with brilliant golden eyes, arms folded looking away from the camera. Misa was a bright and cheerful smile.

Beyond smirked, "He looks like a tool. You're better without him."

Misa gave Beyond a horrified stare, "No! Light was –"

Beyond smirked and set the photo in front of him and leaned against the table, "Yes. Misa. What was Light, other than a pretty face that boosted your image. Was he good to you? Did he treat you like you deserved? I bet he didn't. Considering you were about to hurl yourself from a bridge."

Misa looked down and sighed loudly, "I can't explain it."

Beyond shrugged and scanned the crowd once again, "So don't. Just forget him." He sat back and crossed his legs, "Do you realize how many dirty stares I've gotten from just sitting here talking with you? Now, I realize, I'm not the prettiest face in the crowd. But I wouldn't say I'm hard on the eyes either. Yet I catch this… Unworthy stare. Do you understand?"

Misa shook her head. "I don't understand… Why did I love him so much?"

Smirking slightly, "Yet… Here you are… A complete stranger, sitting here listening to you… Not him." Beyond shrugged, "So. Where to first? I'm not crazy about this sitting here in one place business. We could head south."

Misa looked up, "Huh? Like…"

Beyond smirked from the corner of his eye, "Like Australia, sweetheart. Let's get the hell out of here." He gave her a brisk smirk and held his hand out as he stood, "How's that sound? No point in dwelling what was or wasn't. It's all in the past."

Misa sighed and took his hand, he gently wrapped his fingers around her hand and yanked her to follow him. He dragged her behind him towards the docks to the sea port. "Why are we here?" She glanced at him. 'There's something oddly alluring about him… Is it his carefree attitude? Or the potential of danger in his eyes?'

He gave her a wide grin and yanked her to a nearing cruise liner, "We're leaving of course."

Misa blinked at the large cruise ship that he was eyeing, "But why don't we just fly? It'll be faster. And less illegal."

Beyond rolled his eyes, "And less fun. It's not like they'd make us walk the plank, relax, they'll just toss us off in their next port. Are you in a hurry?" Misa stared at his devilish grin. "It's the journey that's half of the fun, Misa... It's never only just the destination." He grabbed her hand and darted in between crowds of people boarding and bumped into an older gentlemen smiling widely and dragged Misa behind him sputtering and complaining. He handed the tickets he lifted off of the tourists and dragged Misa up the gangway.

Misa blinked, she shifted a glance around the ship before being dragged by Beyond once again, "Hey wait!" She stopped complaining when he opened the cabin the pass card granted them. "Whoa… Hang on… One bed…"

Beyond shrugged and flopped himself on the bed, "The hell do you care? Hmm? A few hours ago you were crying attempting to muster enough courage to kill yourself."

Misa sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, "You're going to keep using that against me?"

Beyond smirked with his eyes closed, "Until you either gather your bearings and either off yourself or decide I was right."

Misa sighed, "So now what?"

Beyond smiled and slowly opened his eyes, "Hmm. Do what you want to do. You're free. Nothing is holding you back, you don't even fear death… Remember?"

Misa smiled and stood up, "I'll need a swimsuit!" Beyond smirked and chuckled.
