Light Yagami
"Oh, Liiiight!"
I mentally sighed. Who knew Misa would be so…annoying?
Ryuk sighed, too. "Light, how could you keep this girl around? She's an annoying little brat. Yet you agree to change her into a vampire?"
"Misa is an irritant," I agreed, "but she is useful." Before I could explain further, Misa came running in. I winced slightly as she passed a window that was covered with a black curtain, the curtain fluttered back and it let in some of the late afternoon sunlight in.
"Oooh!" she exclaimed, jumping back away from the window and into the shadows. "I'm soo sorry, Light! I didn't mean to, I was just so happy you called and -" I raised my hand to tell her to stop talking.
"Just come back here and report," I told her. She followed my order and followed me to the back of the room. It was a small apartment, a one bedroom and one bathroom. It was cheap though, and I couldn't go out during the day, so I needed somewhere to stay.
Misa Amane was a very flamboyant Kira fan. Supposedly, I had killed the people who murdered her parents a few years ago, and now I was her hero. She had long blond hair that was usually pulled into two pony tails. She dressed in gothic like clothes, but a hint of an innocent doll look. She was pretty, don't get my wrong, but that wasn't my main worry. A girlfriend was the last thing on my mind, but I guessed it was about the second or third on Misa's. She honestly wanted to help Kira in anyway possible, but then there was the part where she wanted to be my lover as well.
It took a lot of convincing from her, and a lot of whining, but I agreed to let her help Kira. She was now my eyes and ears during the day time. She was still human (even if she wanted to be a vampire like me, I told her she would help me more as a human for now) and she was able to go out and do the things I couldn't. She told me she had no conscience for killing people, and I guess that was different enough. Most of the time I sent her out to get information on criminals, and everything she could about L. There wasn't much on L, as usual, but criminals were easy to get news of. Misa also ran a national website devoted for Kira fans. She got enough money from that the fact that I was Kira, and that many men just went to the website to see her pictures helped. Every once in a while she would do a few killings for me, and she'd leave behind a Kira message at the scene. It was a miracle that she hadn't been caught yet, but I had to have faith that she wasn't stupid enough to get caught. Misa also had another advantage. Her looks often made it easy for her to seduce the crazed men, and get the killing done easily. Perhaps if I was long, blonde, and had a set of breasts that made most women ooze with greed, Kira would have no trouble at all.
"So," she said. "I got a list of the newest criminals, but their really far away. All the way in Hokkaido."
"No matter," I told her. "I can get rid of them." I took the list from her and flipped through the names and addresses half-heartedly. Misa was an expert at this, finding where anyone was at any time.
"Light, you promised you'd take a break from this and be with me for a while," she said. I could hear the pout in her voice, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
"I can't tonight, Misa. I'm very busy."
"I bet your just gonna surf the web with Ryuk and drink blood." she mumbled.
"I am saving the world, Misa." I replied. "I just have a plan to go along with it."
"What plan? You haven't killed anyone in a long time."
"She's right, Light." Ryuk said.
I glared halfheartedly at him. He wasn't pay attention to me, though. "Fine. I'm just trying to figure out everything Misa. I have to stay out of the shadows long enough for people to forget about me."
"Like that'll happen. Your Kira, no one will forget you until the next three generations are dead. As in, like, everyone. Plus, they already know there's a second Kira, so they won't forget anytime soon." Misa said.
"Exactly. If everyone thinks you're the real Kira everyone will forget about the original. Then I can work undercover and get thoughts away from me. If I can do that, we can both save the world, Misa. And take down L."
"I don't care about the world or L. I only care about you, Light." She walked closer to me until she almost pressed me against the wall. Trying to be sexy, I suppose, but it didn't affect me.
"You should care, Misa. If the world were a better place, we wouldn't have to hide out anymore. I wouldn't have to stay in one place."
"We would." she disagreed. "You're a vampire. You can't go out during the day, not like that's a bad thing, but I can't be with you then. And when I'm a vampire I can't either. It'd be pretty hard to rule the world for only half of the day."
Ignoring the fact that I was never going to turn Misa into a vampire, I said, "I am awake all day Misa. I just can't go out into the sunlight. That doesn't hinder me all that much."
"Yeah, like, not being able to see the sun anymore won't effect you," she said sarcastically. "Oh. My. God!"
"What?"
"I can never get a tan again! Ohmigod! Light! No more pretty tans! I'll be, like as pale as the dead!" she exclaimed with horror on her face.
"You would be dead," Ryuk told her, chuckling a little.
She glared at him and sighed. "I guess I have no choice. When can we get together, Light?"
"Soon, Misa, I promise." I raised my hand and brushed her hair back, putting on my best 'loving' face. Misa wouldn't tell the difference. I kissed her forehead lightly. "I'll see you soon."
She skipped away giddy, going to do my bidding.
"You're evil, Light. Treating her that way." Ryuk said, grinning.
"Like you're complaining, Ryuk."
"No, I guess I'm not."
Misa's work didn't go unnoticed by the public; they all considered there was a new Kira at works. Some websites mourned my 'death'. Some praised it. It didn't matter. I was alive - for the most part - and I was passing judgment on the world easily enough. Misa was just doing the killings. Which I would get back to in a matter of days. For now I had to wait until the criminals felt safe enough to return to the Kanto region. It had been quiet ever since Kira's reign, and I ordered Misa to keep away from this part of Japan. Once the fiends started their troublesome mischief, I would act.
Ryuk guessed I was just getting lazy and over this whole 'phase'. He was wrong, of course. It was all about getting Misa's hands dirtied until I could replace her once again. The plan was for her to get arrested. I knew Misa's love was too devout for her to tell about my being Kira. She'd rather die before telling anyone, I knew that for a fact. She would never guess I was the one who tipped off the police. A well thought-out plan indeed.
