Thank You: Bleached-Naru, Epic Anime 77, Lumilae, Volcanic Monsoon, DarkFlame Alchemist and Megii of Mysteri OusStranger! I feel so special at how many favorites/alerts I got. :3 I think I got a better grip on the story and I won't just rewrite the plot anymore. xD Well, maybe a few events but I'll try to avoid that as much as I can. I hope you all enjoy it! ^-^
Trinity groaned as she threw herself onto her bed, burrowing her face into her puffy, red pillow. Summer had gone by way too fast, not to mention, she felt as if the full three months she was free from school work and nagging teachers, Misa made sure to suck Trinity even more into all the Kira business. So far, neither of them had seen Light all summer...(well Trinity did once but what Misa didn't know couldn't hurt her) and Trinity had wondered from time to time what exactly what he was planning to do with the Death Note he had obtained...and more importantly...she was worried he'd slip under all the pressure at one point and it's power would be discovered. Who knew what would happen then...
"Trinity, aren't you going to get ready for the entrance exams?" Rem wandered into her distant cousin's bedroom and Trinity raised her eyes to the shinigami.
"I don't plan on going to college. I'm just going to go straight into work," she informed and Rem hovered next to the bed.
"What do you plan to do?"
"I dunno...illustrator or something. I don't need a college degree to create art," Trinity scoffed and rolled over on her back, tossing her pillow up into the air, "however...I am curious about this whole "college" deal...I've heard some say how it's supposed to be the best years of your life...but I heard some freshman last year say the same about high school...and I don't even remember any of my high school life other than the last month I was a senior." The pillow puffed down on her chest and she threw it up again, Rem watching it rise then fall.
"Another question," Rem inquired, Trinity lifting the pillow up as if she were benching it, "what are you going to do about Kira?"
"I'm not going to do anything," Trinity remarked, her voice flat, "I'm going to tag along with Misa just because I have nothinig else better to do, not to mention, I find Kira fascinating."
"But you can't help, you're partly shinigami therefore you'd die if you helped," Rem reminded her, concern weaving itself between Rem's words.
"Not entirely true," Trinity argued, her voice still remaining in monotone and she sat up, her streaked hair falling around the middle of her back and shoulder blades, "since I'm part shinigami, I'm able to sense what does and what doesn't inter fear with anyone's fate. I doubt I am going to aid either side, but, just for the sake of something interesting to do...hell...why not? Even though...I do think Kira is wasting his time. I strongly believe there is no such existence as perfection."
Rem opened her mouth to respond, but the slamming of the front door and a friendly "Rem! Trinity! I'm home!" cut her off. Trinity hopped off her bed and slid down the stair railing to meet Misa, who didn't bother with removing her shoes or coat, Rem following close behind.
"Hey, welcome back, Misa-san. How was the photo shoot?" Trinity greeted and Misa smiled brightly.
"Fun! It took longer than I thought it would but, it was nice."
Trinity smiled softly, and she felt Misa grab her hand.
"Hey-!"
"We're going to meet Kira now!"
"EH?"
Flash to the Yagami household...
The doorbell sounded making Mrs. Yagami jump slightly and then dab her hands dry on her white apron.
"Who could that be?" she wondered aloud as her daughter, Sayu, sang "I'll get it!" thinking it was her beloved father.
"Welco-oh...hi," Sayu stopped herself when she came face to face with two girls around the same age as her older brother, one blond and dressed in a Gothic Lolita dress, the other leaning against the house, leather coat, black jeans and a red tank top, her hair color hard for the brunette to decipher.
"Hello and good evening," Misa started, Trinity crossing her arms, "I'm Misa Amane, a friend of Light's from school. I came by to give him an important notebook he left behind at school."
"Oh...okay," Sayu said and eyed Trinity, who caught the girl's nervous gaze.
"Hey kid."
Sayu blinked, wondering if she had seen this girl before then whipped around and dashed upstairs to retrieve her brother. Moments later, she returned, seeing neither of the girls had moved...Misa standing in the doorway, the house lights shining on her face and Trinity kept in the shadows.
Hm...something about her...Sayu thought to herself as she studied the college age girl dressed in leather, she seems...familiar...
The door clicked shut and Sayu was pulled out of her thoughts, pursing her lips together and heading back into the living room with her mother to watch television, the feeling of familiar-ism lingering in her mind.
"Hey, Light, she your sister?" Trinity asked once the door clicked shut behind him and Kira nodded.
"Yeah, her name's Sayu."
"She's cute, in a little kid way," Trinity complimented boredly and dug at her nails, taking no interest what so ever in what the two Kiras were discussing.
"I understand you're not interesting in this?" Rem asked her cousin and she shook her head, her pony tail swaying.
"No...it's just introductions now. I won't be interested until...well, I'll let you know," Trinity beamed up at the shinigami and caught notice of Light touching Misa's Death Note.
Bmp...bmp...
"Hey, Raito, what's that?"
"What?"
"Lying on the ground...it looks like a notebook..."
"Trinity?" Light's voice cut through her thoughts and she blinked, Light's voice coming from the door way.
"Sorry, what?"
"Do you want to come in?"
"Oh! Sure...sorry," Trinity muttered and slipped through the door, Sayu poking her head back out and chewed her lip, knowing she had seen Trinity before...
I wonder if Onii-san gets the same vibes...I know I have seen her somewhere!
"Hey, Mom, they walked a long way to come here just to return my notebook. Would you mind making us all some tea?" Light asked as he mounted the stairs, Misa following behind him, Trinity staying near the door.
"Okay, I suppose so," she answered and returned to the kitchen, Trinity noticing Sayu still surveying her.
"Uh, kid...? Do you mind?" Trinity cocked her eyebrows, not liking being stared at and the brunette squeaked, bowing deeply.
"I'm sorry! I don't mean to be rude..."
"No big deal kid...it's just...is there something on my face or clothes? I know I havea strange way of dressing myself but-"
"No, it's not that...I like your clothes...it's just...you seem familiar," Sayu confessed and Trinity blinked while observing the small middle school girl in front of her.
"Well, I've been around..."
"I mean, I've seen you before...I can't really explain it but...there's something about you-"
"Sayu-chan, you're being impolite," Mrs. Yagami scolded lightly, a tray in her arms, "I'm sorry, Trinity-san. Would you like some tea?"
"Oh, yeah, sure, thanks Yagami-san. Here, I'm going up anyway, I can take it," she volunteered, taking the tray from the woman's hands gently.
"Well, thank you. Just make yourself comfortable. Come on Sayu-chan, let's go watch TV," Mrs. Yagami gestured and her daughter nodded.
"Nice talkin' to ya kid," Trinity smiled, making Sayu confirm her belief she had seen this girl before.
She's been here before...I know she has!
"Yeah, nice talking to you too," she replied and Trinity climbed the stairs, seeming to know where Light's room was.
I wonder...can I...? she pondered as she gazed at the closed door, the wheels turning in her head, well...I'll just have to find out...
Trinty stepped up to the door, walking right through it backwards, Light hearing the rattling of the tea tray and jerking his head towards his bedroom door.
"D-did you just walk through a closed door?" His jaw hung open and Trinity felt the solid tray bump against the door, causing her to frown.
"Seems that way, doesn't it, Yagami-kun?"
Trinity crouched down, feeling the tray rest on the floor then stood back up, opening door and scooting the drinks into the bedroom.
"Tea is served, courtesy of Mrs. Yagami," Trinity announced and set it down on Light's desk, taking her own glass and falling back on Light's bed.
"Make yourself at home," he grumbled and Trinity smiled at his back.
"I plan to."
"Well, now that we have everything settled," Misa intercepted the conversation, Light and Trinity directing their attention back towards the blond, who clasped her hands on her lap, "will you please make me your girlfriend?"
Trinity choked on her tea, Light's eyes going wide and Rem stared at Misa, who appeared hopeful.
"Girl-friend?" Trinity coughed, Light staring at her out of the corner of his eye.
She just met him! The hell? Is she really this stupid? Does she realize he could easily kill her?
"Girlfriend?" Light repeated, just as shocked as Trinity but failed to show so and Misa folded her hands.
"Please? I know I can be a wonderful girlfriend to you and I'm sure that you'd love me in time...and..." Misa fell to the ground, Trinity feeling abandoned in a position of not knowing whether to gag, laugh or just think the girl was pathetic.
Then again...it would make sense...I guess...a strange way it's a smart idea...
"Look, I think you're confused. You came here out of gratitude towards Kira...you don't know me," Light reasoned but Misa brushed the statement aside.
"You don't believe in love at first sight?"
"No."
Trinity glued her eyes to her blond friend, questions floating in her mind, and she sipped her tea, questioning herself about what Rem was making of all this.
"You look a bit jealous," someone whispered into her ear and Trinity felt her heart skip a beat when she met the red eyes on Ryuk.
"Holy-you scared me. And excuse you? I'm not jealous," Trinity hissed back and Light twisted his back to look at her.
"Leave her be, Ryuk. Anyway-"
"You don't understand!" Misa cut him off, her eyes shining and Light paused, "I did come to find Kira out of gratitude and admiration because he punished the man that murdered my parents...but-I love you more than the world Light...I want to show you I can be loyal and you may use me anyway you like...just please...make me your girlfriend."
Gagging to death...Trinity thought bitterly and she heard Light sigh.
"Fine...I can't be your boyfriend, but I can try...but just to keep suspicions from rising since L already suspects me, I'm going to have to be seen other girls."
"Like-dating them?" Misa hissed through her teeth.
"You've met L already? Lucky," Trinity ogled at him and Light blinked, not knowing what exactly to make of Trinity's random question.
"Yes to both questions-"
"Sweet!" Trinity applauded at the same time Misa burst, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO!"
Light sweat dropped, Ryuk allowing himself to chuckle and Trinity sipped her tea as Misa towered over Light, her eyes glaring at him.
"If I see you with another girl, I'll kill her," she growled and Trinity scooted closer to Ryku.
"She's psycotic!" she squeaked to the shinigami and he laughed at her.
"I'm surprised you say that...considering you're ten times more powerful than these two put together."
"I don't care! She's scary!"
"Well...since everyone is used to Trinity hanging around-"
"Don't bring me into this."
"Too late," Ryuk muttered to her and waves of despair loomed over Trinity's head.
Dammit...
"I can date Trinity, if that's easier for you...but I can't seem too close to you...however, Trinity's presence does help because we could just say you're cousins or something and no one will think it's weird another girl suddenly comes into the picture...I mean, it's not hard to come up with an excuse for it..." Light thought and Trinity groaned.
Damn it...I just had to get involoved...now I'm stuck dating some psycho that will manipulate her and I'm most likely going to have to protect them both from the police so no one finds out about the Death Note...it's bad enough these two know!
"Well..." Misa weighed the options, her blue eyes fixed on the unwilling Trinity and she thought for a moment.
I guess this arrangement would be okay but...what if Trinity does fall for him and tries to-no...that's silly. Light will really be in love with me and she's just a cover up...so it's all good I guess...
"I dunno," Misa sighed and Light stood up walking over to her.
"Look, there isn't any other way and you remember I have both Death Notes so I could easily kill you if you-"
"Don't even think for a second I would allow that, Light Yagami," Trinity and Rem hissed simultaneously and Rem's shadow consumed the two humans, "I can see this girl's life span and should it end before the given time, I will know it was you and I will write your name in my Death Note should you cause her any harm," Rem continued.
"And I won't hesitate to turn your ass in," Trinity added, "I won't kill you, but don't forget that I can and will prove that you're Kira should you hurt Misa-san."
"But...won't you both die if you do either of those?" Light's voice shook slightly and Misa gasped.
"That's right! If either of you do anything then you'll die too!"
"Like I've got anything to live for," Trinity muttered and Ryuk cast his red stare over to her as she seated herself back down on the bed, her arms and legs crossing.
"And I am fully willing to lay my life on the line for Misa and Trinity. If you harm either of them I will kill you without a second thought," Rem glared and Light seemed almost fearful.
Are they serious...? So I'm going to have this girl hanging around me until she...dies?
"Light," Mrs. Yagami's voice came from outside the door and she creaked it open, "it's getting really late...I don't think it's appropriate to have two girls over this late."
"Oh, I guess we lost track of time. Sorry, Mom," Light nodded and Trinity jumped off the couch, following Mrs. Yagami down the stairs, Misa and Light behind her.
Please Mrs. Yagami, the day I do anything with Light other than talk is the day I sacrifice myself for him...the manipulative bastard.
"So, we all agree on the arrangement?" Light inquired, making it seem as if the three of them had been discussing homework rather than the Kira situation.
"I do," Misa chirped.
Damn you, Trinity cursed, Light's eyes on hers and she nodded stiffly.
"Yeah...sure," she grumbled as the trio stepped outside, Misa waving good bye to Light.
"Thank you for allowing us to stop by. See you later Light," the blond bade and Kira nodded.
"Yeah, see you guys."
Trinity caught sight of Sayu and waved curtly, giving her a half smile.
"See ya kid. Bye Light," the half blood followed her blond friend down the road, Rem flying over the two of them, still fuming from the conversation between the three teens only minutes prior.
"Thanks to you both, Light really will be my prince," Misa sang and Trinity used all her energy to not gag.
"He's a manipulative bastard," Trinity snapped but Misa only giggled.
"You better get used to him because you're going to be dating him from now on," she teased and Trinity felt her face go red.
"Oh lucky me."
Son of a bitch...
Days Later...
"Hey, Light," Trinity called to her forced boyfriend when she spotted him crossing the To-Oh University campus and he glanced up from the paper he was reading.
"Trinity? Hello."
She shuffled up to him, the key chains on her back pack clinking together with every step she took and she pushed back a stray hair.
"I need to talk to you."
"Okay...?"
"You're involved in the task force regarding the Kira Case, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Can I join too?"
"WHAT? Why?" Light almost lost his cool and his girlfriend shrugged.
"I wanna meet L."
"That's it?"
"Pretty much."
They paused, Light not having a clue of what to say for the first time in his life and he eyed Trinity's school bag.
"Are you enrolling here?"
"Hell no. I barely got through high school," Trinity scoffed, "I just cart this around everywhere...I love this bag."
"Err-okay."
"About the task force though..."
Light hesitated, not sure of how to respond and he caught Trinity's topaz gaze over his shoulder.
"Hey, who's that?" she asked, her white finger pointing behind him and Light turned, to his horror, to see none other than L walking towards them.
Damn it! Why now of all times?
"Hey, Light," L shuffled up to them, his panther black eyes gliding from Light to Trinity, "whose this?"
"Her? Oh, she's my-my-"
"Girlfriend," Trinity chocked out, attempting to not gag to death. L stared at them, Trinity feeling a smirk creep across her lips when she laid her eyes on the invisible name floating over his head and his ebony eyes remained attached and unblinking on Trinity.
How wonderful to meet you, L.
"What's your name?" the detective interviewed and Trinity made eye contact, Light's eyes moving from her to L.
"Trinity."
"Ah. Nice to meet you, Trinity-san," L greeted and the half blood smiled.
"Thank you...?"
"Hideki, Ryuga."
"I see...you're a friend of Light-kun's?"
"I guess...we play tennis together sometimes," L responded and Trinity glanced at Kira, who appeared about ready to punch both of them.
"Well, Light, I'll call you later," Trinity waved and L tilted his head.
"Did you say you were Yagami-kun's girlfriend?"
"Y-yeah, I did. We've been dating since...a week or two before summer I believe," Trinity lied and L's black eyes seemed to read her mind.
"I see..."
Oh please don't make me...
He's going to make her...isn't he...
"I'll call you later, Light-kun," Trinity forced a smile and she caught L's glance, which looked unconvinced they were (pretending really) dating.
Do they even like each other...? They don't seem like it...
Damn it...his expression...the guy isn't convinced...is he? Well...I've gotten about four days to get used to this...here goes...
Trinity placed her hands on Light's shoulders, the genius unsuspecting of what she was doing up until her lips pressed against his.
Wow...didn't see this coming...Light thought to himself and felt his eyes widen as Trinity's soft lips kissed his, her taste...it's familiar...
Let this be over...let this be...well it isn't so bad...
Light allowed his arms to wrap around her waist, attempting to recollect where he had experienced the familiar taste and touch, Trinity pulling back, and Light realized he was on the verge of panting.
"Okay, I'll call you?"
"Yeah, see you later."
Trinity bade them good bye (L semi-convinced that they weren't acting and Trinity was hiding something) and strode away, the clinking of her key chains becoming mere echos then disappearing. Light curled his fingers over his lips, staring down at the ground, trying to remember when and where he had experienced the same taste.
"Well, she seems pleasant," L cleared his throat and Light directed his attention towards his nemesis.
"She is...and I'm surprised you're not suspecting her or anything," Light joked then mentally kicked himself for more likely than not, jinxing that.
"Well...she doesn't seem like one to be involved with Kira...however..."
Damn it...Light cursed himself and L raised his finger up to his lower lip, his black eyes staring up at the sky.
"I could be wrong..."
There was a pause and L shifted his black gaze over to Light, who was watching him blankly.
"Did she by any chance ask to join the task force?"
Because L is just that awesome. Am I making it interesting? I promise I'm not rewritting the series...Trinity has a point...what she wants to do is-well, you'll just have to give me reviews in order to find out. :3 Trinity has depth and a point, I promise! Hope you're liking it so far and I'm sorry L came in so late! Urg...I wanted to get him in earlier but...it didn't work out. :( So, review please! :D 2-3
