"He liked the stars..." Misa finished the quote. "He wanted to be an astronaut." "Tell me where you are." "I'm outside." "Well that's no good now is it, my Puppet?" "Is it?" Misa was still staring at the sidewalk, completely unaware of her surroundings and the people giving her weird looks. Then, Aziz's voice came back. "Listen Puppet, I'm going to give you an address and you're going to follow that address. Tell me if you understand." "I understand." "Good. Now listen carefully..."

Aziz smirked as he gazed down at his puppet, his Misa, while he finished writing his daily victims in the Death Note. She was currently sitting on his apartment floor, that beautiful vacant stare gracing her features. She certainly brought a sense of female to his abode, with the over the top, frilly pink outfit she "decided" to wear today. Aziz chuckled at his inside joke, placed the Death Note on his coffee table and reached out to stroke Misa's blond hair. She didn't move a muscle. "You've got looks Puppet, I'll give you that." A frown played across his face. "But when it comes to the brains department, you're lacking. Greatly." He twirled a lock of her hair in his fingers.
"Would I disown you for that reason alone, Puppet?" Misa stared at the lush cream carpet. "Would you?" Aziz's smile was almost fatherly. "Never Puppet. Despite your lack of brains, you make an excellent tool. And I still need my tool." Ryuk, munching on a apple, hovered over Misa for a moment. "Whatcha gonna do with her?" Aziz shook his head at the Shigami. "Right now, she's here just to entertain me." Pulling on Misa's hair, Aziz ordered her to sit next to him on his polished, black leather sofa. Misa followed his order and sat down, staring at the wall now. Aziz grabbed her hand, kissed it, then twirled his fingers around hers. "Do you remember, Puppet? What was on the tape you played to L?" "Do I?"
--Flashback to last night--
"Martie Rhodes. You will enter this same trance when you hear the words 'Martie Rhodes.' Tell me if you understand." "I understand." L's voice came out in a whisper, completely emotionless. The tape went on. "You will erase the tape of this encounter. Tell me if you understand." "I understand." "When you are activated by 'Martie Rhodes', the phrase, 'The worst lay ahead and Martie...' will be said. You will answer the phrase with, 'Was unable to see the most of it'. You will then fall completely into a semi-conscious state and will have no memory until you are deactivated. Tell me if you understand." "I understand."
"When you leave this trance, you will notice that whenever you are left alone, you will fear for your safety. You must not be left alone or something terrible and unspeakable will happen to you. You don't know when or what, but it will happen. Tell me if you understand." "I understand." "Secondly, when you leave this trance, your trust in the people close to you will falter. You will not trust them to come back if they leave, or to forgive you when they get angry at you. Thus, if someone starts to get angry or frustrated at you, you will immediately feel the same painful fear you feel when left alone and the urge to do whatever they want so that they won't be angry at you. Tell me if you understand." "I understand."
--End of the Flashback--
Aziz couldn't help but laugh out loud at the memory of making the tapes. Ryuk just shrugged and continued to eat more apples. Aziz supplied him with plenty. Misa didn't respond. "Ah, Puppet. What fun L is probably having right now!" Aziz laughed again, but this time his laughter had a note of madness to it. Finally, the laughter stopped. Aziz suddenly looked at Ryuk. "If you don't mind, I'd like a little alone time with my Puppet." Ryuk growled. This human was starting to get on his nerves. But, as it seemed, Ryuk was enjoying the show. Even though Aziz could be bossy and annoying, he knew how to have a good time with his victims. He was also so creative with some of his deaths. Once, he had killing a man by having him swallow an entire box of nails and then washing them down with some gasoline.
So, all in all, Aziz was a pretty interesting human. And that's why Ryuk would leave him without a fight, taking his apples with him of course. After Ryuk had left for the other rooms in the expensive apartment, Aziz turned his attention back to his puppet. He stared at her for a moment, before a slow and lazy smile reached his face. "Misa. Come give my hand a kiss." He held out his hand for her to take and gently, she kissed his hand. But she didn't show an emotion and that was no fun. So Aziz asked, "Do you know who I am?" "Do I?" Aziz ran his hand through her hair. "I am Kira." Misa didn't answer. "Tell me who I am Misa." "You are Kira." "And how does that make you feel?" Misa cocked her head slightly at the question. "How do you want me to feel?" Aziz thought about it for a moment before he answered her. "I want you to feel afraid. Afraid of me because I could kill you right now, even as we speak. You're terrified of me. And yet, you admire me. You admire that I've been able to invade the police for this long. You can't see it through your paralyzing terror, but secretly, you worship me. And you want to trust me."
Aziz held out his hand to her again and this time, Misa gasped in fright and scooted away from Aziz, her body shaking. Aziz smirked. "What's the matter Misa? Why are you afraid of me?" Misa's voice shook as she replied, "Y-Your Kira..." "That's right. But I'd never kill you Misa." Even Aziz knew his false trusting tone was pathetic but due to her programming, Misa started to stop shaking, trust finding it's way into her eyes. "You're innocent Misa. You haven't committed any crime. Why would I kill you?" Misa nodded, almost to herself, and when Aziz extended his hand again, Misa hesitantly took it. She gave him a shaky smile. "Y-You know...I think what you doing is...v-very brave. A-And...I admire what you're trying to do, getting rid of all the bad people." Aziz sighed happily and smiled. "Yes, it is. Thank you Misa. You admiration for me is flattering." 'But her fear was much more interisting.'
So it brought Aziz a small shock of pleasure to see Misa's face freeze when he let go of her hand and grabbed her wrist tightly. "But I'm afraid...I'm going to have to kill you." Misa's eyes went wide and with a small cry, she tried to free herself. But Aziz knew he was stronger. So he grabbed her other wrist and forced her to stare at him. Her eyes were full of terror, yet he could still see the admiration for him. "Beautiful..." Aziz lowered his head so that their foreheads were touching. Misa flinched, much to Aziz's pleasure. "You're so much fun to play with." Misa only wimpered. Then, despite himself, Aziz glanced own at his watch. He frowned. It wa getting close to ten o' clock. And as much as he would love to keep messing with his puppet, she had a job to do. So with a disappointed sigh, Aziz reactivated her.
"Sam Farner." Misa's beautiful terror vanished in an instant, her face becoming blank. "He liked the stars..." "He wanted to be an astronaut." Aziz let go off Misa's wrists and they fell down next to her sides, usless to her now. Aziz sighed again, upset about the interruption in his play time but this needed to be done. Aziz had to make sure that his programming on L was intact and fully functional. And for that, he needed Misa to leave and go to the Kira Investigation Headquarters. He could have gone himself, Misa had told him exactly where it was, but he didn't want to raise suspicion and they would probably never let him in anyway. So it was up to Misa. "Listen to me Misa. I have a very important job for you..."
