Misa was beginning to realize that Sayu Yagami was just as strange as her brother. After six years of knowing the two she has yet to figure either one of them out. Just when she thought she got close they'd do something to totally throw her off. It was becoming tiresome dealing with them but she did anyway since she loves them both dearly.

"But I mean seriously what did I ever see in that guy?" Sayu asked for the tenth time. She had just run into her ex-boyfriend Hideki Ryuuga and it stirred up a lot of bitter feelings.

"A nice looking face?"

"No he really wasn't that good looking in person, even that Mello guy that kidnaped me looked better than him." She admits plopping a handful of popcorn in her mouth.

"How can you be so casual about that?" Misa asks in a shriek, "You know how worried we were about you and here you are talking about him being good looking!"

"Calm down you make it sound like I was having sex with him."

Misa just shot her a glare before throwing a pillow at her. Sayu easily dodged it though and threw a fistful of popcorn at Misa. The two girls laughed at how immature they were acting but it didn't stop them from making a mess. They were having fun and that was what mattered to them, it was something both of them needed.

"Hey Sayu can I ask you a question?" Misa asks suddenly plopping down on the pillow she had in her hand.

"You just did." Sayu replies playfully.

"I'm being serious here!"

"Ok, ok ask away."

"Do you think Light really loves me? Well I more so mean do you think he's in love with me, I know he loves me but I have a hard time believing he's in love with me. It's so hard to tell with him." She asks hugging the pillow to her chest.

"Huh what brought this on? Are you guys having problems?" Sayu asks.

"Not really, to be honest things have been better between us lately and that's what's making me worry."

"You're worried because things are going good? You two are seriously one messed up couple." Sayu says tossing a spare kernel at her.

"Yeah I suppose so but hey that's what works for us."

Sayu giggled, "Well to answer your question I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Light loves you very much, even if he doesn't show it, I know he does. He wouldn't have kept you around so long if he didn't and if you're concerned about the fact that you're not married yet it's probably because he wants to wait for a better time. You're both super busy with work."

"Hmm I guess then I have another question for you, do you think I'm stupid for loving Light?" she asks fearing the answer.

"I don't think you're stupid for loving him, I think you're stupid for the way you love him and the way you let him treat you but at the same time I get that's how you are. I just wish you would stand up to him sometimes."

"I do stand up to him on occasion. I just don't fret over things other girls worry about. Things have to be really bad for me to get mad, like with this stupid Takada situation." Misa whines.

"Ugh I still can't believe that! I could kill him for that and you for allowing it."

Conversation grew tense after that so Sayu left as to not make things worse. Once she was gone Misa turned on the tv to give herself something to do. Three minutes into the program though she wished she hadn't.

Takada was in heaven! She had everything she ever wanted and soon she'd have Light all to herself. Plans have already been set to get rid of Amane for good. Of course it wouldn't be in a way that would get Light in any trouble, she had no desire to kill the annoying woman, no she was going to break the girl down until there was nothing left of her.

Looking at the small digital clock above the television a smile graced her face. In just five short minutes phase two of her plan would be airing. She couldn't wait to see Light's reaction to her brilliance! Excitement coursed through her as she rested her head against his shoulder. She was so caught up in her happiness she didn't even notice him tense up and scoot away slightly.

Light however was not happy; in fact he kind of wanted to shoot himself in the face. Takada was growing even more annoying. The more he met up with her the clingier she got, it infuriated him. He didn't want to touch her but he couldn't let her realize how much she repulses him. That was too dangerous. She would definitely do something stupid to get back at him. It was too much of a risk and he really didn't feel like cleaning up after her. Too much hassle for someone he didn't care about.

"Are you sure you don't mind watching this?" Takada asks referring to the cheesy celebrity gossip show.

"No it's fine, besides some mind numbing tv is nice every once in a while."

"Alright I just wanted to make sure I wasn't boring you." She says looking up at him with admiration.

He mentally cringed at the look but put on smile. It was times like this that he was happy he spent so much of his life pretending to get along with people. It really came in handy for moments like this when he needed it. That fake smile disappeared quickly though when he saw what was actually on tv. Now he understood what Takada was so smug about earlier. It disgusted him so much he actually felt sick to his stomach.

The show they were watching was doing a piece on Misa's weight gain. They were saying horrible things and making terrible accusations. One lady even made a comment about her looking like a pig. It was ridiculous! Even with the few extra pounds Misa's still a thousand times more beautiful than any of them. The longer he watched it the angrier he got. She didn't even gain that much! He couldn't hold back the low growl that escaped.

The sound startled Takada so much she jumped a little. That was not the reaction she was expecting from him! She thought he would chuckle and maybe add a comment or two himself. But she never would have thought he would get angry. He wasn't supposed to have feelings for her! She was even more surprised when he suddenly turned off the tv and threw the remote.

"That was disgusting! Do those people really have nothing better to do with their lives then make fun of a poor girl because she put on some weight? Do they not realize what that's going to do to her? She watches this pathetic show religiously; it's going to kill her to hear them say all these things. She's already extremely touchy about her weight, this isn't helping at all! Now I'm going to have to take off work for a while to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." He ranted.

Light got up off the couch at some point during his rant and started pacing. He stopped at some point when he realized how he was acting. Sighing he walked back over to the couch and sat down.

"I apologize for going off like that. It's just it really bothered me. Misa's been self-conscious of her weight since I met her and the last time someone pointed out she was getting bigger she freaked out and almost starved herself to death. I just don't want to have to go through that again. I may not be in love with her but I do still care about her well-being which is why I haven't broken the news to her yet. Now I definitely can't since she will surely do something to hurt herself. I can't be responsible for that." He tells Takada hoping it satisfied her enough.

She was taken aback but the way he explained it she understood. Actually it kind of makes her glad he still cared about Misa as long as he didn't still love her. It proved just how great of a guy he really is. At that moment she couldn't have loved him more. She held such respect for the man in front of her. He couldn't be any more perfect!

"I understand Light."

Light looked over at Takada in surprise. Was she serious? Did she really just say that with such sincerity? Was this bitch really that stupid? He almost wanted to laugh. Instead he just smiled and placed a hand over hers.

"Thank you," he says flashing her his most charming of smiles. "I glad you get it. So I hope you understand why I have to leave early tonight."

She nodded her, "Yes I get it, go ahead and make sure she's ok."

Light gave her hand a light squeeze then left without another word. On his was home he couldn't believe his luck. Takada had taken that so well, almost too well. He didn't trust it. However he had other things on his mind he had to deal with like how Misa was right now. He knew he was going to come home to a devastated Misa. With that in mind he stopped by a convenient store and picked up some roses in hopes that it would cheer her up if only a little.
