Okay, I've been pretty busy with school and stuff (got sick too...wanted to upload something then but I could barely stay awake) so, I'm gonna try to keep up as best I can. Thank you: i have an idea or two, The Dark Heroine, i lol so hard at this, grawsome, epic of the highest caliber, awesome and DarkFlame Alchemist for the reviews and favorites and such! I really appreciate the support! Hugs and pocky all around! OK, hope you enjoy the next chapter! And...not to mention...I've been trying to fix my summary but it's not appearing for some reason. T.T Well...a nice twist never hurt anyone...you guys will just have to find out what it is. :)
Even if it's the last thing I do...I have to make sure Misa is safe, Rem flew through the air, Trinity beneath her, her black and red pigtails swaying.
"Hey Rem," the half blood began and her cousin focused her haunting, yellow eye on her.
"What is it, Trinity?"
Trinity paused in her tracks, her topaz eyes glazing over the hotel, resting on the distant window on the thirteenth floor. Rem studied her, the shinigami's bat-like wings casting an invisible shadow over the streaked hair and pale skin, the girl's bangs covering her eyes with shadows.
"I want to know why you're so trusting of Misa with the notebook...I honestly detest the idea of a Death Note in the hands of a human...it's power must not be taken casually and I believe both Misa and Light only see this as a game and as way to change society for personal gain."
Rem's bandaged feet touched the warm cement, the boundless, skeletal arm reaching out and caressing the black threads of hair.
"You know why Misa has a Death Note...it was rightfully hers once Jealous died for her."
"But I don't trust her, Rem!" Trinity exclaimed, her crucifix earrings swinging forward as her entire body jerked to shove the Death God's arm away, "she's a human! Human! I don't want that notebook in her possession...no mortal can be trusted with such power," Trinity raised her hands level to her chest, her eyes seeming to shine red as she shot Rem a glare, "I've been in the human domain long enough to see how fragile the mortal mind is...this power...the Death Note's power mixed in with the lust for divine jurisdiction will only lead the owner to be driven insane. I'm saying this partially because I know that a supernatural existence like this is alien to this realm and I'm afraid it will corrupt both Light and Misa."
"Trinity, you have to realize the ability to discharge Light Yagami and Misa is beyond me and any other shinigami. That would be interfering with fate and if that happens-"
"I know," Trinity glowered, clenching her fists together and shutting her eyes, "there's no need to remind me...I share the same fate. Look...I really care about Misa, I honestly do. But her keeping a Death Note is just to dangerous and the risk of its abilities leaking out among the public is all too likely to happen. "
Rem's unblinking eye almost filled with sympathy as her cousin continued to strut into the hotel lobby. Feeling the need to check upon Misa, Rem disappeared into the sky, flying over the city and approached Misa's confinement area, slipping in through the ceiling, her osseous finger kissing the silky, blond hair.
"Please...just kill me...get it over with! Just kill me!" the model begged and on the other side, Trinity felt her eyes snap open as she practically broke L's desk in half with the force of her hands slamming down on top of it.
"L! Stop this now! Let her go! She has nothing to do with Kira!" Trinity almost screamed and the detective inched away from her scarred hands.
"She's just about to crack-"
"This is ludicrous! Misa has nothing to do with Kira or anything! She's innocent!"
"Trinity, remain calm! I've told you all before I would do anything to solve this case. If these are the measures I have to take, then so be it."
Misa...!
Trinity sprinted out of the room, down the hall and out of the double doors, the sensation of her shinigami wings beginning to spread out.
Light has to do something...he has to save her...! He has to!
Trinity's skin melted away, revealing pure bone, the side of her face burning as if there was a scar shielding the right side of her face and her eyes gleamed red as her forest green, bat wings shot out on either side of her body. She pounced into the air, gliding against the wind current and dropped through the ceiling of the Yagami household, remaining invisible to everyone but Light. The brunette whipped around upon hearing a whoosh, the scarlet eyes meeting the brown.
"Trinity...?"
"You have to do something," Trinity's voice pleaded, her body instantly shivering before returning back to its human form, "L has Misa and she won't say a word about Kira or anything. Do something...you have to!"
The hybrid fell to her knees, the red and black strands of hair hanging in her eyes and tears dripped down onto the carpet as Light cocked his eyebrows.
"Trinity-"
"Please Light!" Trinity begged, grasping onto his hand, "do something! Come up with a plan, save Misa!"
"Now give me a second-"
"Light Yagami."
Oh great.
"Misa has rejected my offer of helping her escape from confidment knowing that it would only bring you trouble. She's begging me to kill her, to end her suffering and she's only doing it because she wants you to love her," Rem said as if on the verge of tears and Trinity's glistening eyes stared up at her cousin.
"Rem...what are we going to do?"
"The only way I could put an end to her suffering was for her to forfeit ownership of the Death Note. She no longer remembers anything about shinigamis, your being Kira or the murders she's committed."
"Wait...will she remember...?" Trinity pointed to herself and slowly, Rem shook her head.
"No. Misa's memories of you, Trinity, will be erased when she forfeits the ownership of the Death Note. She will only think you are a member of the Task Force and her memories of being friends with you will disappear," Rem told her and Trinity felt another tear drip out of her eye.
Misa won't remember me...? But...I don't want...to lose her...I wanted...to protect her...
"Misa is only doing this because she wants you to return her love for you," Rem continued to Light, who seemed to not really give a second thought as to how the perky blond felt. "Keep in mind the people who are truly suffering just so your secret can be safe."
There was a long pause and Trinity gripped the carpet, gazing up at Ryuk to see what he made of all the madness. As usual, he appeared totally indifferent to it.
"Light Yagami, I agreed to do all of this under one condition," Rem pointed her bony finger at Kira's forehead and his lips parted, as if expecting the shinigami to strike him. "You will protect Trinity and you will save Misa. If you fail to do any of this, I will kill you."
"All will be fine," Light soothed, Rem's finger lowering and he offered his hand to Trinity, pulling her to her feet. "I have a question though...if I forfeit the Death Note as well...will my memories of Trinity disappear too?"
"I doubt it...I'm not sure why your memories will stay and Misa's don't...however I can't say for sure," Rem answered and glanced at Trinity, who kept her shining eyes cast down at the carpet.
"There's nothing to worry about," Light smirked and slide his arm around Trinity's waist. She felt herself being forcefully pulling her into his chest, Light's arms locking around her and one hand on her head, her fingers clutched around the soft fabric of his sweater.
"I have a plan."
Trinity felt her eyes fill with hot tears again but she managed to hold them back, burying her face in Light's chest.
Three Days Later:
"I hereby forfeit the ownership of this Death Note," Light conveyed the black notebook over to Rem, her gleaming eye staring at him as if to warn him.
"Take care of her," was all the protective shinigami commanded before allowing her wings spread out and lift her up into the sky.
"The only reason...I have to go through all this...is because you brought another Death Note into the human world, Rem," Kira scowled as he watched the death god disappear amongst the stormy clouds.
Now...the only thing left to do...
One Week Later...
Trinity pressed her fingers against her temples, closing her eyes and allowing a long, drawn out sigh to escape past her lips.
"Ryuuzaki, why are you so convinced Light and Misa are the two Kiras? Two weeks have passed by and there's been no proof pointing towards either of them being-"
"Trinity, I'd appreciate if you'd stop pressing this onto me. I know for a fact that you'd be the first person to cover Misa's tracks," L pointed out and Trinity back away from him.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? You have no proof and, not to mention, you barely know me!"
"You have a tendency to make yourself blatantly obvious. The relationship between you and Misa is enough to prove to me you'd be willing to do anything to clear her name...even if it meant killing criminals on your own."
"So why not put me in confinement? Why are you letting me go free if you're so convinced I'm involved with Kira?" Trinity snapped, L licking the lingering sugar off his finger tips.
"You're a valuable source of information for me. I can conclude for a fact either you or Amane is the second Kira, however, my dilemma is, which one of you would be more willing to kill for Light. With the both of you harboring strong feelings for Light, it's harder for me to choose which one of you would be more willing to commit murders if Light had ever asked you to," L spilled a box of Teddy Grahams out over his desk and munched on a few.
"You know, it's really irritating how you think you know everything about me. We've just met and I harbor no feelings of love or affections towards...him," Trinity gestured towards the seemingly feverish Light laying on the cement ground.
"Oh yes you do. I know you all too well to believe that, Trinity." L slipped another chocolate covered marshmallow into his mouth, his ebony eyes glued to the television screen.
"HEY! Shut up! You do not!"
"How can you be so sure? You don't remember anything about your past do you? You've never mentioned a family or past school years...nothing. It seems as if...you've just dropped out of the sky and into the middle of the street one random day," the detective sighed and swallowed his treat, reaching for another one.
"Well...if you're so sure that you know who I truly am, what's my middle name?" Trinity snatched the rest of the chocolate covered marshmallows away, L blinking and peering at her with his black, unblinking eyes.
"Give me my marshmallows."
"Not until you answer my question."
L blinked again and let drawn out sigh push out of his chest. Trinity tipped a fork on her moon pale finger tip and dipped it into the marshmallows, inspecting the one that came up attached to the fork.
"Your middle name is Alejandra. Are you satisfied?"
The fork clattered to the ground.
"Let me die!"
How did he...figure that out...? I don't even know what my middle name is...but Alejandra sounds right. What is going on?
"Light," L's voice came over the speaker in the cell, Light raising his exhausted eyes up to the corner of the area, "are you alright?"
"Yeah..." Kira's voice half growled as if too tired to speak, "it's just pride."
Trinity's eyes shifted over to the screen, watching him over her shoulder. He appeared to be staring right back at her, the red glares clashing, hating each other with the same amount of energy.
"I guess...I'll just have to get rid of it," Light practically hissed and Trinity finally noticed Ryuk jump up from the floor and lean over Light.
"Gotcha," the shinigami mumbled and stalked out through the wall, "later."
"Light Yagami," Trinity exhaled so softly not even L heard her.
What are you planning to do?
"Listen, L, just hear me out! I'm not Kira!"
He...gave up the ownership of the Death Note...but how is he going to prove his innocence? Unless...
Feeling as if a lightning bolt had struck her, Trinity narrowed her eyes and curled her fists.
I hate you for putting me in this position...
L observed the hybrid as she whipped around, the chains on her leather mini skirt echoing in his mind as she stalked out of the Headquarters building.
Looks like I'm going to have to do this...Trinity analyzed the whole situation as she slinked into a shadowed ally, I...
Her bat wings spread out behind her shoulders, her bones gleaming...
...have to become Kira...
Your thoughts? I know what really happens in the series. Not giving anything away. :P Reviews make me oh so very happy. And, I wonder about Trinity. Is she a really good character? Constructive critisim I welcome with open arms. Tell me what you think I should improve on. :)
