Misa could take a lot but three weeks without even a single phone call is taking it too far. To say she was pissed would be an understatement. The next time she sees Light Yagami she going to kick him! Well not really, she knows all he has to do is look at her and everything will be ok. That does not mean however that she's ok with the way he's treating her now. She misses him terribly and her eyes are going to be permanently puffy if this keeps up any longer. Sometimes late at night she wondered if this is just a test to prove her loyalty. If so it was a very cruel test, exactly the sort of thing Light would do too.

"Mochi? How long did you say it would be until Light can come home? You must have caught the guy who threatened him by now so it should be safe right?" she asked mentally rolling her eyes at the absurd excuse they gave her for searching their home.

Sometimes it really surprised her how stupid the Task Force believed her to be. It made for a good laugh at times but she was growing bored with them. And dammit she wanted to see Light!

"Huh? Oh yeah we caught the guy but unfortunately it may still be awhile until Light can come home I'm afraid." He said stirring the rice he was currently cooking.

"Why?" Misa whined.

"I'm not sure. They didn't give me exact details just that it may be a bit longer is all."

Misa sighed, to hell with the pretending bullshit. "Does this have anything to do with Takada?"

"You know about that?"

"Of course I do! Light told me himself before he left. So is it about her because I don't care I just want to see my fiancée." She pouts. "Besides I know he's not doing anything wrong with her, I trust him."

He nodded but didn't say anything else just continued to stir his damn rice. The silence stretched on for what felt like forever. Misa was just about to scream in frustration when he finally spoke up.

"I don't know when he'll be back." He admitted pouring the rice into two bowls.

"Can't you call him?"

"Afraid no, I'm only allowed to contact him if there is an emergency." He tells her placing one of the bowls in front of her.

"This is an emergency!"

He gave her a look full of pity. "I'm sorry Misa Misa."

"I just miss him so much Mochi. I don't know how much longer I can take this." She tells him as tears fall from her eyes.

"I'll see if I can do anything to bring him home sooner but I can't promise you."

"Thank you and thanks for making me dinner too, it smells amazing." She says shooting him a beaming smile before taking a bite. It was really good.

Once she was done eating, Mogi started doing the dishes. He would always cook and clean for her. She felt sorry for him sometimes because he's still single. Certainly if he tried he could get a girlfriend but he was still heartbroken over the death of his wife even though she's been gone for almost ten years. Misa understood though if Light died she wouldn't be able to move on. She doubted she could live without him, the grief would be too strong she'd probably just kill herself. There's no life without her Light. Just thinking about it brought pain to her heart.

After dinner all was silent until midnight. Misa was in bed thinking when her phone rang. She was so happy to see Light's name on the caller ID that all her pervious anger disappeared. "Hey Light, I'm so happy you called. I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too Misa."

"Then why haven't I seen or heard from you in three weeks?" she asked hoping she didn't sound nagging.

"I'm sorry Misa I've been really busy and if I came home you'd just distract me. I can't have that right now. I promise I'll be home as soon as I can though."

"Ugh this isn't fair she gets to see you more than I do! I know it's just for your job but…"

Light cut her off before she could finish. "Please Misa just bear with it just a little longer. I'll be home in a few days but that's not what I called you about. I called just to let you know that you're going to be the opening act at this year's Pop Music Festival."

She let out a loud squeal. "Really? Oh Light that's amazing! How did you manage that?"

"I'm L love. I can pretty much do anything." He says letting out a chuckle.

"Oh Light I love you so much!"

"I know Misa. I have to go now I'll see you in a few days." With that the call ended before she could even get the chance to say goodbye.

Hearing his voice after all that time cut through her. Within seconds she was sobbing hysterically. She missed him so much. These next few days were going to take forever.

Light stared down at his cellphone in disgust. He was sickened with himself over the joy he felt hearing her voice again. The affect that woman has on him will end up being his undoing. He's been missing her like crazy these last few weeks and being around Takada wasn't helping any. She just made him miss Misa more.

Everything Light expected Takada to be turned out to be the opposite. He thought she would be a challenge, wrong after the words "I'm Kira," escaped his lips she became putty in his hands. Also thought she would help keep his mind off of Misa but instead he found himself thinking of Misa even more. Every move Takada made Light would compare it to Misa and how much Misa was better. The worse was when he had to kiss her. Not only was she a terrible kisser but her lipstick tasted horrible as well. Every time it happened he had to keep himself from gagging. The only good thing coming out of this was he's now in contact with Mikami. It almost didn't seem worth it though.

However he was god so he would grin and bear it. With that thought in mind he finally made his way into the hotel. By the time he got to the room Takada was already there making tea. Without saying a word he crossed the room and took a seat in the big plush chair. She placed a cup in front of him and took a seat on the couch.

"Are you ok Light? You looked stressed."

"No I'm fine thanks." He says waving her off as he picks up the notepad next to him.

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help?" she asks suggestively.

Light had to suppress the shudder threatening to take over. Just the thought of that woman doing anything sexual to him was revolting yet he could let her know that. He still needed her assistance. Then again a blow job did sound rather nice at the moment but he would wait until he returned home to Misa.

He must have made a look or something because the next thing he knew Takada was in front of him, on her knees. The sight shocked him so much he didn't make a move to stop her as she unzipped his pants. It wasn't until he felt her hand curl around him that he came to his senses. He almost pushed her back against coffee table in panic but stop himself at the last second.

"Stop! We've talked about this before." He says his voice strained.

"Right, my apologizes. It's just you had this look on your face and I thought maybe you changed your mind." She says rezipping his zipper and returning to her seat on the couch.

"I haven't. I'll let you know when I have but until then please refrain."

Great now she was pouting. He found it to be annoying, normally when a girl pouts she looks adorable but Takada just looked like a selfish bitch when she did. It was probably because she is a selfish bitch but still he wished she wouldn't do that. Besides it meant that now any plans he had of discussing business with her was ruined. He learned that when she got upset she pretty much became worthless. It would probably be best to leave now but he didn't want to upset her further and have her fuck everything up.

So he sucked it up and moved over to sit next to her. He placed an arm around and pulled her head on his shoulder to make it appear he was holding her closer when really he was scooting away so just his shoulder was close.

"Don't pout." He tells her kissing her head, rolling his eyes as he did so.

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist cuddling into him. It felt wrong holding her like that. She was way too bulky and just the fact that it was her made him feel dirty. Dammit she's not Misa. With that thought he pushed her away and without a word headed to the bathroom. He wanted to call Misa, for some odd reason he felt guilty just for holding Takada. He felt terrible about it and he didn't understand why. It bothered him.

Five minutes after entering the bathroom he heard a door slam shut. Sticking his head out the door he realized that Takada had left. A smile grew on his face until he realized she was probably pissed. He would deal with that at another time though. At the moment he was far too happy she was gone. He was so happy in fact that without think he called Misa. It rang three times before she answered.

"Light?" she asked her voice sounding rough, she's been crying.

"Hey I'm sorry for hanging up so abruptly before."

"It's ok, I understand." She sniffs.

"Anyway I wanted to let you know that I'm coming home early. I'll be there in about an half hour. Do you need me to pick anything up?"

"Oh Light I'm so happy, I've missed you so much I can't wait til you get here," she says in a rush, "And it would be really great if you could pick me up some pockey. I've been craving it for the past hour."

He chuckled. "Alright. I'll see you in a bit. Bye Misa."

"See you soon!"

"Iloveyou." He says say super-fast before hanging up.

Misa stared down at her phone in shock. She couldn't decide if she should be exstatic over Light's odd behavior or worried. So she sat on the couch watching a random animated tv show as she waited for him to get home. Exactly 23 minutes and 17 seconds later he walked through the door. Like always Misa jumped up from her seat and ran into his arms. He hugged her back this time just as tight if not tighter than she hugged him. Light was also the one to ignite the kiss. He pulled her against him as close as he could before bringing her in for the most passionate kiss they've ever shared. Misa wouldn't allow herself to enjoy it, instead she got pissed.

She pushed him away from her as hard as she could causing him to stumble back slightly. Before he had time to regain his footing she grabbed a fistful of hair on either side of his head and slammed him into the door. Then she jabbed her knee into his stomach to keep him at her eye level.

"What did you do Light Yagami?" she asked with venom.

He stared at her in surprise for a long time before finally realizing the reason for her actions. Then he was torn between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry and yet he was too nervous to do either. Finally in a whisper he said, "I didn't do what you're thinking I did."

"Don't you fucking lie to me!" she shouts pushing him back harder.

"Misa….."

"If you didn't do anything you wouldn't be acting like this! There is no other reason for your actions so stop lying goddammit and just tell me!" she cries tears pooling behind her eyes.

Her screaming was beginning to give him a headache and the position she had him in wasn't exactly comfortable either. If not for the fact that she looked so incredibly sexy all pissed off like that he probably would have put her in his place. He so easily could break out of the hold she has him in but in order to do so he could wind up hurting her which he didn't want to do so he allowed her to keep him like that.

"I'm not lying Misa. I told you nothing would happen with her and nothing did. I promise."

The grip she had on his hair loosened as she dropped down to her knees. The tears she had been holding back not spilling down her face. "I want to believe you Light, I really do but I can't. Not with you acting the way you are. You never say you love me over the phone and that kiss, I just can't. You're acting too guilty."

"I understand why you would think that Misa but I swear nothing happened with her. Ok well something almost did but I stopped it. I know I'm not the best boyfriend ever but I could never hurt you like that, not again."

"This is different than L. I still don't care about what went on between you two but I do care if something happened with her, even if it was an almost something. I don't want that disgusting whore touching you." She tells him.

"So should I take that to mean that I can see other guys but not girls?" he asks sarcastically.

"Not at all, I don't want you with anyone else but me. Now you have ten seconds to tell me what happened before I kick you."

Light couldn't help but chuckle. Her cheeks were all puffed out and she was pouting making her look beyond adorable. "I'm being serious Light!"

He sighed. "Honestly I don't know what her exact intentions were all I know is earlier she tried taking my pants off."

"And what did you do?"

"I snapped at her then I went to go into the bathroom because I didn't want to be near her and while I was in there she left."

"Is that it?" she asked.

"That's it."

"So if that's it then what's with the 180?" she asks.

"Because this whole thing has opened my eyes up to things that I've tried to ignore for years now," He admits cupping her cheek. "However if you don't like it I could always go back to being a complete asshole if you prefer."

"No! I mean, I would like the change as long as it's not because you did something wrong. I really would prefer if you were home with me more. I miss you terribly when you're gone."

"I'll try to be home more. I miss you too when I'm gone it's just I almost need to stay away because I know if I stay with you for too long I'm not going to want to leave at all."

"Then never leave." She says pressing her lips against his.
