N/A: I thought I should at least put a disclaimer somewhere in this story. So here it is. I actually do own Death Note. But, everyone told me that I'd have to say I didn't or else you'd all be jealous. So -sigh- I don't 'own' Death Note.

Anyway, an important thing to know is, ecspecially if you dont understand (much) that when the font goes like this it is when Amaya is writting down her response. That's all I have for up top! Enjoy the 13th chapter.


She finally awoke with a quick gasp, sitting up abruptly with panic. Amaya grasped the bed sheets tightly, eyes scanning the unusually familiar room she was placed in. Her heart was beating loudly, as she could hear the pounding pulse steadily in her ears.

'What..happened,' she thought with a weary expression, worry clawing at her stomach along with distressed confusion. Her movements stopped abruptly as startling realization came upon her,' Why the hell am I in Light's room?!'

Amaya slowly slid out of the bed, and realized her attire was not the one she had recalled adorning, but a rather more elder conservative clothing that a mother would wear. She walked down the stairs with an upmostly confused expression to see the Yagami family eating breakfast. Amaya noted with a wry smile they looked like a perfect family out of a commercial, with everyone getting along eerily well.

"Oh, I see you're up!" Light's mother exclaimed, instantly getting to her feet and rushing up to Amaya," How are you feeling; that bruise still looks pretty painful."

Amaya furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, and opened her mouth to speak, 'What are you talking about? What bruise?' To come to realize the fact that no noise was coming out. With wide eyes, she lightly placed a hand on her throat and attempted to speak again.

'What's going on?' she attempted, only to get the same result.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" his mother apologized quickly," I didn't know you couldn't speak. Light, please get her something to help."

Amaya merely sighed, and thought with a frown,' Well, I didn't either'

"Here, maybe this will help," Light said, getting up from his seat at the table to appear next to Amaya and his mother, to hand her a pencil and paper.

Amaya gave Light a weird expression,' Wasn't he trying to kill L and I earlier?'

"What's wrong?" Light inquired, with a genuinely concerned expression on his face," If it's about your clothes, my mother changed them, yours were all muddied and torn."

She had an exasperated expression, not even truly thinking too much about what she was clad in until he mentioned it. She gripped the pencil tightly, rapidly writing her responses and questions.

What happened? Why am I here?

"I saw two men come up to you last night, and tried to steal something from you. I heard you scream and rushed to get you, but one man threw a punch. I got the two of them ff before they could really injure you." Light explained with narrowed eyes and a disgusted frown," There are so many criminals running around these days. I wish they'd just disappear."

Amaya blinked rapidly, and turned her head to look in the mirror and saw a bruise formed on her left check. With a small grimace, she gingerly placed a fingertip along the bruise and noticed something 

dangling brightly from her wrist. She looked down to see a brilliant silver bracelet with angel wing charms hanging from them.

She fingered the bracelet for a moment, and her face lit up, remembering the Once Note speaking about a charm she must never take off. Amaya bit her cheek, and looked up at Light for a moment. He caught her gaze and gave her a warm smile which caught her offguard.

Light-san, are you in highschool?

"Yes, I'm a senior, two more months left. I'm applying to To-Oh University in the spring," he paused," Where are you from?"

Amaya froze, and thought of a lie quickly to put down.

I.. don't remember.

"Light," Soirchiro Yagami said with an anxious expression," After she was hit, did she fall and hit her head?"

Light's face instantly went extremely worried," Yeah, I couldn't catch her in time."

Amaya blinked and rubbed the back of her head to feel a bump. She gritted her teeth, and sat down on the family's living room couch, the rest of the family following.

"Uh-oh, that's not good," Sayu piped up, sitting on the arm of the couch," Hey, she doesn't know who we are! I'm Yagami Sayu!"

"I'm Yagami Soichiro, head of the Japanese Task Force," the older man introduced himself.

"I'm Yagami Sachiko," the woman said with a pleasant smile.

"And I'm Yagami Light," he said with a smile to match his mother's.

'I'm guessing he didn't find the Death Note yet' Amaya thought absently, staring at Light for a few more brief moments.

"So, what's your name?" Sayu piped up.

I don't know.

"This isn't good," Sachiko murmured, eyes narrowing down at her in sympathy.

"What should we do?" Soichiro asked aloud, placing a hand lightly on her shoulder, making Amaya look up at him.

"It'll be best if she stays here, she looks like she's my age so she could get a job, and go to school here." Light suggested, as Amaya played with her hands," Then when she gets on her feet and gets some foundation, she's free to go."

"That would be best," Soichiro admitted," She'd just end up on the streets anywhere else."

"I've always wanted a sister!" Sayu said ecstatically, tugging softly on Amaya's sleeve

Amaya gave Sayu a small smile and began to write once more.

If you are to take me under your care, thank you so very much for helping me.

'Now, I have a better chance to save L and I. I was too late earlier, now, I can change everything.' She thought, giving a small smile to the Yagami family.

"Well, first you need a name" Sachiko stated, inspecting Amaya for a few moments," What would a good name be?"

"How about Tsukimono?" Light said, gazing over at Amaya for approval.

"Surprise gift?" Sachiko murmured thoughtfully, then a grin broke out on her face," I think It's a very pretty name."

I like it!

"Alright, you'll be Yagami Tsukimono." Soichiro said with a softer tone," You'll be part of our family for now."

Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate this.

"Can I call you Mono-chan?" Sayu asked with a wide smile, clinging onto Amaya's arm.

Sure.

"Ah!" Light yelped, looking over at the digital clock on top of their television," We've got to go Sayu!"

"You're right, ahhh, I'll see you went I get home Mono-chan!" Sayu yelled, grasping her bag and rushing out the door, followed by a sighing Light.

Before he left through the doorway, he turned to Amaya," I'll tell my school about you coming in, and we'll set up your schedule to get you started."

Thanks Light-san!

"You can just call me Light if you like," he replied, and waved as he hurried out the door.

"Well, I have to head back to Police Headquarters too," Soirchiro stated, giving his wife a quick peck and Amaya a pat on the head and headed out the door in suit.

"Well, Tsukimono, we'll be the only ones here for a bit," Sachiko informed Amaya, placing a hand on her arm," Why don't you take a bath now and wash up?"

Alright, and do you have any clothes I can borrow afterwards?

"I'll set you out some of mine because you're a bit too tall for Sayu's," Sachiko said with a smile, as the two headed upstairs," That's the bathroom, the towels are already in there."

Thank you Yagami-san

"It's quite alright dear," she said warmly, and left the bathroom.

Amaya sighed and closed the door, and undressed to slide slowly into the warm bath. She let out a sigh of content, briefly closing her eyes. Her head was still spinning from earlier, everything happened way too fast. 'I guess my voice is the thing I had to sacrifice,' she thought staring up at the white ceiling,' Who knew everything could change this much this quickly? But that isn't the only thing I had to sacrifice… L doesn't know me anymore.'


"So, how do you like dinner Tsukimono?" Sachiko asked, placing the plates down on the table as everyone minus Soichiro, seeing as he was working late as per usual, began to eat.

It's very good, thank you for the meal

"So, Tsuki, can I call you that?" Light asked politely.

If you like

"Great," he said with a smile," Now Tsuki, I talked to my school, and as long as you pass the entrance exam, you can finish up senior year at my high school. It's only two months, so it shouldn't be too bad."

That sounds great, thanks for helping out so much Light.

"It's no problem," he replied, then paused," Will Tsuki stay in my room again tonight?"

"There was junk on the guest room's bed, we just need to move it and it can be Mono-chan's " Sayu said brightly," I'll just move it to the attic!"

Sayu rushed from her seat at the table and loud noises erupted from upstairs, making Amaya's eyes widen bemusedly.

Well, it seems like someone is excited

"She's always wanted a sister," Sachiko said with a laugh," And you're her little surprise present."

It seems that way, the food was great Yagami-san, thank you again for everything

"It's no problem, really, now why don't you get going to bed?" she suggested to the remaining two.

"Alright, you okay with cleaning up Mom?" Light asked, pushing in his seat as he waited by the stairs.

"Yes, I'm fine Light, now you need sleep if you want to keep up being number one student!" Sachiko said with a laugh," Good night!"

Good night, and I'll just leave this paper and everything down here for now.

"Oh, Tsuki, can I talk to you real quick?" Light asked, tone firm as Amaya was about to walk into her new room.

Amaya nodded, and frowned and made a scribbling motion saying the paper was downstairs. He pushed her lightly into the room, making her take a few steps back. He shut the door behind them.

"Who are you really?" he asked, with narrowed eyes," When I saved you, you saw me and started going hysterical, calling me Kira. Who is Kira?"

Amaya's eyes widened, as she mentally cursed. She can't remember the fight with the two men, or even doing what Light said she was doing. She shook her head and shrugged and looked around the room and found a small scrap of paper and a pen.

I have no idea what you're talking about, I must not remember, sorry

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair," It's okay, it just worried me a bit. Sorry to scare you like that."

Amaya let out a large exhale of breath and nodded, relieved, then nodded to show that everything was fine.

"Good night, Tsukimono, surprise gift," he said, his tone oddly eerie.

Amaya nodded slowly, and waved as he left the room and closed the door behind him. She turned off the light and went under the covers on the bed, and closed her eyes, mind restless.

'Where is L now? What about Spencer? Will I ever get to see either of them again? What's happening?'


'Who is she, really? Why am I having these weird dreams about things that never happened? Why would I have any reason to kill Tsuki, and this guy named L? What's happening?'

Ex#1

Light's light brown eyes glittered brilliantly in the moonlight that dimly lit the garden around him. A rustle came from behind him, making him jump but after straining his eyes to see the figure, he let out a sigh of relief to see it was merely Matsuda, his hubby.

"Oh Matsuda!" Light cried, leaping into his arms-

Light: STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW NATSUMI.

Natsumi: -cakles-

And embraced Matsuda, leaning against his chest with a content expression on his face-

Matsuda: PLEASE, PLEASE STOP IT!
