Misa turned around and got a look of shock on her face when she saw mine.

"W-..what are YOU doing here?"

"It's not like I chose it"

"Ryuzaki get her out of here"

"Still mature I see"

"Shut up"

I walked up to Misa. She hadn't changed. Blonde hair in pigtails but gothy clothes. I guess I shouldn't of talked..I didn't exactlly wear bright colors either. I tried to make myself bigger and more intiminating as walked up to her

"Make me bitch"

"Your not scaring me" Misa put her hands on her hips "You wouldn't hit me around cops. you will get arrested"

"Oh?" I punched Misa on the side of her pretty little face. I could feel my fists hit her skin and connect with her teeth. There were gasps and a "Misa!" in the room. Misa collapsed onto the ground and held her face. She looked like she was holding back crying. After about a minute she looked up

"YOU BITCH! EVER SINCE MOM AND DAD DIED YOU HAVE BEEN DIFRRENT"

"And you havent? I started hating you when you left me and stopped helping me out to become a model. Because of you I was forced to drop out of school and get a degrading job"

"You could of done something else that paid as much as a prostitute"

I went to punch her again but the task force members held me back Misa stuck her tounge out.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU" I hated it when people called me a prostitute. I was already ashamed I had to get naked in front of and audience. Selling my body for money would be even more degrading then my job already. I hated all of it.

"Your weird Maranda! You didn't even cry when mom and dad died"

"I was being strong for you!"

"And when I went to find Kira you said that wasn't a good idea! He punished the burglar who killed our parents and you don't like him.It seemed like you didn't even want to get revenge"

I was shaking I was so mad. "I didn't want to get revenge!? You were to scared to even try to go kill the burglar because you were scared of the consequences"

Misa got a confused look on her face

"I went after the burglar and tried to kill him!" I pulled my shirt over to show my collar bone area on the right side. "And this is what happened!"

Misa gasped and covered her mouth

"I did it when you left. I didn't care what happened to me!"

Misa dropped to her knees. Her body was shaking, like she was going to cry again. "Y-you tried to kill him...and you got stabbed...WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME?"

"You wouldn't care"

Misa was shaking even more violently. She opened her mouth to say something then stopped. She looked around . probablly looking somewhere to run and cry. She got up and ran into the bathrrom.

"I didn't see that scar on you the night we met Maranda"

I looked over at Ryuzaki. I couldn't belive he was asking me a question like that at a time like this. He stared at me like I was some strange object. I glanced around the room and saw all teh other task force members were too

"Airbrushing" I said

"Oh..right. Misa said you don't support Kira..Is that true?"

"I don't want to talk about it" I left the room and went back into mine. Just those few minutes of stress had me physically and mentally drained, and seriously depressed. I collapsed on to my bed and stared at the roof trying to comprehend what had just happened. Did I really just see my little sister? Did I really just punch her? Did I really just make her cry? Did I really just show her my scar?...Nobody knew about it. The truth about it that is. Until today. Only Harold and a few of the other girls I worked with knew about it. I told them I was in an accident when I was a child. I was working at a different strip joint at the time I was stabbed. It was a horrible place so when I was in the hospital I quit..then I met Harold.

But thats another story.

I sat up and looked at the mirror on the wall across from the bed. My apperance was slowly getting more and more scrungy and worn out. If I didn't do something I would be that harsh looking no longer pretty stripper. Misa and I were pretty. Very pretty. We got it from our parents. Except I got my fathers red hair and Misa had got Moms blonde hair. We both had died our hair multiple times. I needed mine a red that really stood out for my job, and Misa needed hers a cute blonde for hers.

We both had jobs where we had to be fake. Now we were so used to being fake we no longer knew how to be real. Our "real" selves..were lost. I realized that tears formed in my eyes. I wasn't much of a cryer. The only person I ever cryed in front of was my parents when I was a small child. I didn't want to cry now just in case those cameras were in here. Nobody would see me cry.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and breathed heavily trying to calm myself down.

There was a knock on my door.

"Not now" I wispered. I layed back down and closed my eyes. Hoping whoever was at the door would just go away. I waited for a few minutes and smiled when I thought they were gone. Then there was another knock

"WHAT?"

I heard keys then somebody entered my room. I didn't bother to look and see who it was. The persons footsteps moved up to the side of my bed making me feel extremelly akward and forced me to turn around and look at him or her. It was Ryuzaki, and Misa's boyfriend attached

"What do you want?"

"I want to ask you some questions"

I turned around and lifted the covers over my head "Leave me alone"

"I think I know you pretty well Maranda. I could probablly answer all the questions I want to ask by myself but I want to be 100 sure"

I lifted the covers and quickly and shot up. "You don't know me!"

Ryuzaki was beside my bed his normal stupid way. Slumped, head slightly to one side and thumb in his mouth. Staring at me. Misa's boyfriend was standing there looking bored and..something else. I couln't quite tell what other emotion I was reading.

I waited for him to say something but he just continued to stare. I tried to act like it didn't bother me and stared back...I failed miserably. You would never know how hard it is to stare back at a man like that. It's like trying to stare at an extremelly gorey car accident. You want to, but just can't.

"Stop it!" I yelled

"Stop what?"

"You know! Staring at me!"

Ryuzaki looked around then jumped onto my bed..did I see a small smirk on his face? By time he got into his weird position the maybe smirk was gone.

"I didn't say you were welcome in my room so what makes you think you can sit on my bed?"

"This is my building. I can go whever I want"

He unfourtunatley had a point. "Well I'm not answering your questions so you might as well leave"

"I'm not leaving until you answer my questions"

I was about to get angry and yell but stopped myself. That was what he was expecting. He knew I would get frusturated with his stubbourness and tell him to get him out. Well it wouldn't work like that. I would show him how stubbourn I could be.

"No" I said quietly. I layed back down in my bed and turned myself away from him

There was a long silence. It bugged me but I wouldn't give in. "Ryuzaki" Light said "She's been through enough today. Just leave her alone"

Ryuzaki got off my bed and they left my room. Pride ran through me knowing I had beatedn Ryuzaki.
