Chapter 14: Special
Luna walked down to the kitchen. Staying up all night wasn't a problem, staying up all night studying Kira murders was. She finally made it to the kitchen and stretched opening the fridge and grabbing an apple. Something much larger than her caught her attention, and smirking she grabbed a second apple and walked to a blind spot of the cameras. "Here" Luna said handing the apple to him.
Ryuk chuckled in response and took the apple. "So, you're the girl the shinigami are supposed to find? The girl with the purple eyes"
Luna looked at him "Yea, you guys really hate my father"
"Stories get passed real quickly among the shinigami. It's quite boring in our realm."
"I bet it is. So, am I a common topic then?"
"Sort of it's a mystery as to how you keep disappearing from the shinigami who find you" Ryuk said with a chuckle
"And what will you do?"
"I really don't like most of the other shinigami and I believe you will make things interesting"
"Even if I help take down Light?"
"Doesn't matter to me; the humans and you are providing entertainment for me. I told you the shinigami realm is boring, plus you gave me an apple" Ryuk explained
Luna laughed "Ok, I'll try to keep it interesting then" she said and left back to the others.
Ryuk snickered and followed. As Luna opened the door she made her face normal and pretended she hadn't noticed Ryuk following her. Light glared at Ryuk. He couldn't understand why Ryuk seemed so interested in her, but he figured she wasn't normal. Luna stretched and lay on the couch upside down so her feet were at the top of the couch and her hair touched the floor. She held a Kira case file which due to her position was also upside down and put the apple in her mouth. L looked back at her momentarily, and then shaking his head looked at the computer screen once more. Light kept looking at Luna. She was very odd, and this was one of the first times he saw her eating something that wasn't a lollipop, but it could just be him. Misa walked through the door and looked around "Light!" she shouted pouncing on him.
Everyone in the room looked at her. Luna looked at her momentarily then ignored her. Misa looked around and spotted Luna. It was weird as she was the only one Misa couldn't see the name and lifespan of. It made no sense to her, but then again the girl might also have a Death Note. It seemed the shinigami were becoming more and more intrigued by giving Death Note's to humans. Something else soon caught Misa's attention not only was Luna pretty, but her eyes were a dark purple. Luna stretched again and noticed Misa staring."I don't believe we've met" Misa said
"No we haven't" Luna replied "But seeing as you are the only other female here you must be Misa Amane"
"Yes I am…..now who are you?"
"I'm Luna" she replied standing up and grabbing a tea Watari just carted in.
He smiled at her and brought one to the others as well. Misa kept staring at Luna "Is something wrong?" Luna asked
"No not at all" Misa said and turned to harass Light again
Luna pulled out her laptop and sat on her knees on the couch placing her laptop in front of her and began looking at files that way. This was easier than the paper files. Luna put her headphones into it and put on her music as well. She turned it up slightly and checked to make sure no one else could hear it. Once she was sure she put them back in and looked at the files.

Luna clicked the red x in the corner and looked around to make sure no one had been paying attention to her. Then she realized a shadow that most of the others probably couldn't see and realized it was Ryuk. He was clearly bored and figured she could entertain him. He sat down beside her and looked at her screen which had one of the files Watari had put online for L. "Breaking into secret files. You aren't as good as you appear" Ryuk said and Luna smirked, but ignored him
Light looked back slightly and so did Misa. Luna couldn't hear him so why was he trying to pester her. Ryuk kept mumbling about annoying things like how boring the shinigami realm was and explaining it in detail. He also talked about other shinigami he knew. Later most of the others had left minus Matsuda who fell asleep on the couch, Light, Misa, L, her, Watari and the shinigami. Luna was heading the bathroom when Light pulled her into a camera blind spot and pushed her to the wall. She could have easily broke free, but was slightly curious what Kira wanted and didn't want him to know she was stronger than a normal human. "What's your deal Kira…I mean Light?" She asked with a smirk
"Where's your Death Note?" Light asked
"Death Note? What's that?" Luna asked
Of course she knew what a Death Note was, but she didn't inherit her father's like a normal shinigami child. Even if she was only a partial shinigami she still would have gotten her father's, but the shinigami who killed him took his Death Note. "You know what I mean"
"No I don't"
"I can't read your name and lifespan like other people" Misa said standing by Light where the camera couldn't see her
"Name? Why would you see my name? And my lifespan?" Luna questioned
"Stop doing that!" Light commanded
"Doing what?"
"Stop faking! Is your shinigami here?"
"Shinigami aren't real" Luna scuffed
"Yes they are" Light told her
"Prove it"
Misa held out Light's Death Note. "Hey don't give her that" Light said
"Is that the Death Note thing you were talking about?"
Light growled slightly obviously angered and handed the Death Note to her. Then she looked at Ryuk who had been nearby smirking the whole time. Luna widened her eyes in fake shock and stared at Ryuk. It seemed to work "Told you" Misa said matter-of-factly.
"Why are you showing me this?" Luna asked
"Tell us the truth" Light told her and whispered in her ear "And I will spare your life when I take over the world"
Luna smirked "I knew you were Kira"
Light angered moved to hit her but she dodged him and tsked "Ah, ah, ah, never hit a lady Kira, I mean Light" and she took off snickering
Light grumbled and Misa took him to his room. They sat on the couch and turned the T.V. to the news. Luna sat in the chair beside L while he turned on the news as well. Light looked at Misa "I will crush her. After all she means something special to L and Watari as well. I will just keep her around long enough to find out the truth about her."
Attention was then turned back to the TV as the news reporter stood. "It would seem that the Shadow Thief has struck again and that she has left a message for Kira. Investigators noticed this after collecting four notes and along with her normal signature there were words that didn't completely make sense until brought together."
L looked at Luna "What are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything the Shadow Thief is" Luna replied
"I'm not joking with you this isn't a game"
"Oh, but it is L. I just have to establish myself as someone other than the girl who's working for you"
"This is more reckless than anything else you've done"
"Clearly you don't know everything I've done then."
L stared at her "I don't want you to get yourself killed"
"L all my life I've been marked for death. I know Nova told you everything about me and BB, about shinigami. Matt told me"
"Still-" L began but was cut off "Still nothing I know what I'm doing"
"It would seem that put together the notes are addressing Kira. The message says "I've decided it's time to play a game. You are threatening my life in the first place, so why not. Here's the deal we are going to compete to see who can bring each other down first. If I win you die, but if I lose I die. Let's see who can come the closest. Let's think of this as a game of chess. Now I made my move, let's see what you do." Clearly the Shadow Thief has some sort of death wish. I guess we will see what comes, and if any news comes in I'll be right here reporting to you. This is Amanda Garthan signing off."
Light glared at the TV he couldn't make any other response or L would notice. This Shadow Thief was challenging him. Who did she think she is? Did she really think she could defy god?
