Misa stared into the mirror as the white marbled bathroom gradually filled with steam from the shower. She looked down at her shoulder and gently ran her fingers over a deep purple bite mark. Blushing slightly, she pulled her hair out of her normal pigtailed style. Misa smiled softly and turned the radio on and stepped into the shower.

Stepping out of the shower, Misa dried herself off with a fresh towel. She turned and sighed carelessly as she got dressed. Delicately pulling her jeans up, she had an evil smirk pass by her plump lips. "That's what you get for leaving your shirt where I could steal it!" Misa pulled Beyond's shirt over her head and giggled, "It almost looks like I bought it for myself." Giggling again at the thought as she spread a clear lip gloss along her supple lips.

Misa turned to the mirror and smiled softly to herself. She brushed her hair and left her usual hair ties on the counter as she left the bathroom. Misa smiled at a sleeping Beyond as she emerged from the doorway. The sun peeked through the deep blue curtains bathing him in tranquil sunlight. While slumbering, the corner of his mouth tugged upwards, creating the illusion of a sleeping smirk.

Misa pulled a piece of paper out of the golden oak nightstand's drawer from next to the bed and wrote a note on it. 'Went to get some breakfast.' Giving him one last smile, Misa pulled the door open and stepped out.

Misa hummed happily as she plucked various fruits from the elegantly decorated breakfast bar, drapped in brilliant red clothes and pure white chinaware that was trimmed in gold. Turning around, Misa debated in her mind if she should approach the steam table full of warmer foods. 'No. I should settle for a light breakfast... Who knows what we may end up doing today... Or, should that be my reasoning to eat a big breakfast? If I'm still hungry, I'll get more!' Misa smiled at the naturally well lit room as she picked a table near the entrance of the grand room.

Misa sat down at a table with her feast of fruits and a piece of toast, she sighed happily as she spread the jam across the bread. "Well, hello gorgeous!" Misa startled a little and looked up to see a young man leaning on the table with a confident smile. Golden blonde hair fell into his face, partially covering his chocolate brown eyes.

She looked back down, in mild disappointment. "Good morning." She mentally groaned and rolled her eyes irritatedly when he sat across from her. Misa tried her best to look uninterested and not look up towards the young man again.

"Say. Aren't you that Japanese model? Misa Amane?" She nodded in silence, gently nibbling on a strawberry, still looking down. "I knew it! Man, you're much prettier in person!"

She sighed, 'I think I'm bored with him already… How do I get ride of him nicely?' "Thank you, it's always nice to meet a fan." 'Impersonal, keep him feeling distant, stay pleasant, I wouldn't want to tarnish my reputation, that wouldn't do anything for my career…' She smiled softly, 'That bastard… I do want to live… He was right.'

The boy smiled at her smile, "What's on your mind?"

Misa looked up and shuddered internally, 'Crap.' Her eyes widened when a hand landed on the side of his head lightly and gave a careless shove, "Move kid, where's your mom? Shouldn't you be with her?" Misa smiled when she looked up and locked eyes with Beyond, 'What a jerk… But, at least he's a sweetheart to me.' Her smile grew at his sleepy smirk, "You, my dear, took my shirt." He tugged at a looser fitting white t-shirt that he was currently wearing while mocking an annoyed expression, though a tiny smirk was apparent.

The boy growled from his position on the floor. It wasn't a hard push, but enough to move him from the chair. "Excuse you!"

Beyond raised an eyebrow and looked over to the boy before giving a wolfish grin. He propped his head up with his hand wearing a bored expression, "You're not her type. Move along. Probably a little too young too…"

The boy blinked a couple of times, "I think she could decide for herself what her type is!"

Beyond chuckled quietly, as he mindlessly stole the jam from Misa's toast, "Of course. Misa, what is your type? Sweet little boy here?" He gave her a devious smirk, "Or someone like me?"

Misa looked away and blushed, "Obviously. You." She glanced back at Beyond, who stared at her with a raised eyebrow.

Beyond then grinned and tilted his hand towards Misa, "From the mouth of the angel herself. Bye." Beyond waved at him dismissively as the other boy stormed off. Glancing back to Misa, he crinkled his nose, "Seriously? Is that something that happens often? Just say what you're thinking, who gives a shit what he thinks." Misa smiled as she nodded. "We leave in the next port."

Misa nodded, "Where is it?"

Beyond smirked and shrugged, "Makes it kind of interesting, doesn't it?" He pointed behind her, "Look! A distraction!" She whipped her head back and searched, he rolled his eyes and smiled as he stole the second strawberry from her plate.

Misa giggled and sighed, "There isn't anything back there." Misa turned back to him. "Hey, Beyond, um… How do I ask this…" Misa glanced back down to her plate then looked back up at Beyond with narrowed eyes. 'Did he just take some of my food?!'

Beyond rolled his eyes. "Probably not in public, and yes, you are correct. I stole your strawberry. Deal with it."

Misa scowled and threw a raspberry at him. "Pervert! I wasn't talking about that!" Misa made a flawless pout as she whined playfully, "Why the strawberry? Why couldn't you have taken something less yummy?"

Beyond chuckled and glanced away while popping the raspberry into his mouth. "So just ask, you won't hurt my feelings or piss me off or anything."

Misa sighed, "What are you planning to do with your life?"

Beyond raised an eyebrow and thought about it while ruffling up his hair, "Probably this." He let out a soft laugh, "I don't plan ahead anymore… Kind of screwed me the last time I did. So, I live by the moment." Misa giggled quietly and Beyond sighed, "Truth is… I don't think I could live any other way… This is the only way I know how."

Misa smiled faintly, 'I guess I shouldn't have expected much else… I guess, I should just enjoy this while I can, then, at the end, we'll go our separate ways… I think that would be for the best, I can't live the rest of my life like this. I want my life back after this adventure…'

Beyond reached his hand out, "Let's go do something reckless." Misa looked up and smiled, taking his hand.

As they walked out of the room, the television behind the kitchen window flickered over to the news, an image of a distressed Sayu Yagami was seen with the caption, 'Famous international superstar missing: Misa Amane, call hotline with information.' The next news report. The reporter wore a serious stare, "In other news, a maximum security facility reports that, Beyond Birthday, notorious serial murderer, has escaped within the last month. Authorities implore citizens to remain vigilant, and report any suspicious activity." A fuzzy image of Beyond was shown on the television, and the cook turned the television off. As he did so, he blinked a couple of times and chuckled at the thought of the couple who just left.

"Nah. What are the odds of that happening?"
