A.N: Second chapter, I hope you guys like it. I don't know how good this sequel is gonna be, I just discovered that the DVD that Netflix gave me is scratched up in a slightly important part. I may or may not put Candy in another situation to keep it interesting during that part, but I can say for certain that L won't die in the end and the third installment "The Thief and The Virus" will be quite good.
KittyPersona: LoL, I don't mind if you're stalking my stories, I consider it a compliment. Thanks! And yes, Beyond is dead, but he'll still be a character in this story.
Sidenote: I'm sorry if I don't use a lot of honorifics, but I figured that it would get annoying every time I mentioned someone's name I would have to use 'san' or another honorific.

I woke up, my bones were aching, I looked around and realized I was in the shinigami realm. In front of me were two shinigami boys, A and B. And they were shouting at each other, both with rage, stubbornness, and passion in their eyes. B as a shinigami, was, interesting...
He was very skinny, emaciated would be putting it lightly, and he was dressed in dark grey with dark red jeans with large holes in the thighs and small ones in the calves. Large but slim chains hung from his side pockets and belt loops, small charms that reflected his personality hung from the chain sections.
Jars of jam, knives, and tear drops. His hard looking combat boots were spiked with a collection of silver, red, and black spikes. He wasn't wearing a shirt, showing off his ribs which were protruding from his skin. His skin wasn't the normal shade, it was a dark grey.
His face was angry, specifically at A, his red eyes which had been dull the last time I had seen them were now glowing like two red rubies. And four pure white horns sprung from his shaggy black hair, two on one side and two on the other, a large one and a small one next to it.
His teeth, which I could see clearly because he was shouting so expressively, were sharper than humans' teeth too. I suddenly became aware that they were aware that I was awake, and they turned to me.
"Finally, Candice, you're awake." Beyond spoke to me first, immediately being cut off by A. "I just want to say that I am truly sorry for what I did and it was not justified in any way, I'm so sorry!" I got up and brushed myself off, before turning my attention to the two Wammy boys. I didn't know how to start, so I said the first thing that came to mind.
"Why are you two fighting?"
"He fucking took my notebook away! He has no right, I'm a damn shinigami for crying out loud, I should have a notebook!"
"He was going to use it on L!"
"Who I use it on is none of your business!"
The two men glared at each other, red upon green. "Beyond... Is that true? Were you going to kill L?" Beyond shifted his red eyes to me, anger still shown through them, but his pair of glowing crimson orbs softened when he saw my expression of disappointment and hurt. But I could see that I was right in my accusation, he had been dead set on killing the panda resembling detective.
"I thought you had changed. What happened?" He couldn't handle the guilt, I knew by the scared and stressed expression on his slim face. "Why the hell would I change? This is my life, or at least it used to be, and my life is to be better than that poor excuse for a detective. It always has been! You can't just come into my life and try to change me!" He screams it in anger, but his voice cracked at the end of his rant.
Suddenly, being stared at by myself and A became too much, and he sprouted wings from his shoulder blades. Raven's wings, but sharp silver blades were mixed in with the pitch black feathers.
He flew away, towards the portal to the human realm. I sighed, and worried. But he couldn't kill L, he couldn't. Not without a notebook. I took in a shaky breath, I would not cry. I would not cry. I- I... I w-wouldn't.
My teeth clenched, the salty streams slipping through my lips. Damn. Beyond was my best friend, but now, he was trying to kill my love. My L. The only one besides me who could catch Kira.
I felt strong arms envelope me, and I clung to A. Though I was still partially angry at him for lying to me, I would put that aside to patch things up with Beyond.
"Ms. Owl, I... I don't know what to do. I'm sorry, for everything. For lying, for judging a book by it's cover, and now for Beyond. I truly did not believe this would happen." He was shaking, and we both held each other.
In confusion, unsureness, hurt, guilt, and sadness.
xXxXx
So, there's a lot of things in this world that is different. Like, Rem isn't a girl, and the Wammy boys, Matt Mello and Near, they're not in play. I mean, I knew that before, but, how does that play out? They all play an important role in Death Note.
I had written that down on a piece of paper so A could read it and I would not be detected by the watch. A nodded in agreement, he had just told me everything that he had been keeping from me.
We were at Shiori and Naomi's funeral, in a corner away from the group where I could speak to A alone. It was quite a nice funeral, a large portrait of Shiori and a white rose covered coffin. I was fiddling with a white rose I had stolen from the stands in my hand.
Though I was dealing with the different situations of the anime, my mind was also drifting to Beyond. A had tried to find him a couple days after he became a shinigami, but no luck so far.
"Yes, I know. The movies are much more simpler than the anime." I watched Light and his family, they were sitting in the very front.
And sighed, writing down another note.
I see. If it's no trouble, I would like a written outline on the main points of what's different, when they will happen, and how. It doesn't have to be detailed, just enough so I know what I can and can't do, and the outcome of Light in jail and L alive still intact.
He nodded in understanding. "No trouble at all." He then flew away, I didn't watch him. I was watching Light, with a small smirk. I whispered.
"We will catch you, Kira."
xXxXx
"L?"
The wide eyed detective looked over at me, sitting in front of a chess board. I was tempted to start playing with him, but I knew that the scene when Light came in the room and started playing would be much more satisfying.
"Yes, Lolita-san?" I glanced towards the door for a second, and then smiled. "Is it all right if I go to the Sakura TV festival today? I've been hearing about it and it sounds fun, and I'll be able to get you festival sweets." He blinked a couple times, and nodded.
"Thank you, I'll be back before you know it with my bag full of goodies." I said cheerfully, and then the door opened. My smile faded as I saw the soulless eyes of Light. And the soft face of Watari.
"Ryuzaki, mr. Light Yagami is here."
"Ryuzaki?"
L was inspecting a chess piece, and I leaned up against a wall. "You go by a false name." L continued setting up the chess board. "What makes you think so?"
"Gathering from previous events, Kira needs real names to kill people."
"So, you do have a sharp mind."
"Somehow that doesn't sound like a compliment."
I was watching the scene before me play out, narrowing my eyes at Light. He made the first move on the chess board. L countered.
"Are you sure you're not Kira?"
"Is that a joke?"
Light made another move.
"I dislike jokes."
"Then why did you invite me here?" L didn't even hesitate to make the next one. "If I were to die now, you'd be the first to be suspected."
"If you die, I'm Kira, huh? On what grounds?"
I glanced over at Matsuda, and Aizawa, also watching the scene play out. "All the inside information, has been leaking to Kira. So I had the FBI watch some people, including you." Another move.
"I knew I was being followed."
"But regrettably, all the FBI agents were killed. Still, we identified one suspect. The suspect who fit Kira's profile was..."
"Me, huh?"
L made the next move.
"Right. That's why we had your room bugged and monitored."
"That's illegal."
"Your father gave us complete permission, it was necessary to clear your name." I added into the conversation.
"In that case, I should be cleared." I walked over from my position on the wall, and stood next to L. "Well, you could've done something we didn't suspect. And Naomi Misora got to you without any help or even contact with us, backing up that we're not the only ones who suspect you." Matsuda took a step towards me.
"Enough! How could you, Lolita? Light girlfriend was just killed by that Naomi Misora." I looked at him straight in the eye.
"Kira can manipulate death."
It was weird, L and I both said that in sync, though I brushed it off and said nothing of it. "You mean I killed Shiori and Naomi? Why?"
"So people would sympathize and let you on the team where you'd finally meet me. And then kill me."
"Bastard! Don't you have any feelings at all?!" Another move on the chessboard. I was sorry for Matsuda, he was sympathetic towards Light when Light himself wasn't even capable of empathy.
"Mr. Matsuda, I'll prove to everyone that I am not Kira." Light turned to me. Interestingly enough, he was more interested in talking to me than to L.
"So, how do you think I kill people?" I smiled softly. And L made his next move. "Hmm, whatever it is, it is either as hard as splitting an atom, or as easy as writing one's name in a notebook. But it's obviously something that hasn't been seen before this."
Light's eyes and expression almost contorted as I slipped in that I know how he kills, but continued on the conversation. "What if all the evidence were to point to me?"
"You'd be executed, most certainly."
Light made his last move.
"Checkmate."
"Very smooth."
L was disappointed in losing, and I broke a swift piece off of his chocolate bar which he was holding in my general direction. "None of us are suspecting you." Aizawa tried to comfort him, and I chuckled.
"Except me, of course. I'm very sorry Light, it's nothing personal. Well, I'm off to the Sakura TV festival, see all of you later."
xXxXx
A.N: Candy has some pent up emotions towards Light, specifically hate and anger. How did you like Beyond as a shinigami? I know I portrayed him as calmer in the facility, but you have to understand that becoming a shinigami was quite a shock to him and he didn't know how to handle it.
Please review!
Edit: I'm so sorry, I forgot to bold the Japanese. I'll make sure to do that from now on.
