A/N: I was supposed to update The Game. I blame your reviews. My friend saw me read them and get all happy and she said that if I get that happy by reading them then I should reply to them. I try to reply, but when I do it usually ends up becoming a bunch of thank yous and one intelligent word. So, since I really do appreciate the reviews she is going to force me to reply to them when I finally reach fifty reviews. Is that good? I'll try to say something that doesn't say thank you. XP. Anyway, I hope you read, enjoy, and review.

Chapter 6: Misa

"You'll never leave me, right Light?"

"Of course not, Misa."

"Then why don't you ever tell me that you love me?"

"Because... I'm waiting for the right time."

"The right time? D-Do you mean like marriage?"

"Hm, uh, yeah. That time."

"Oh, Light!"

Oh God no.

[I didn't mean it...]

Light walked down the halls, not really looking for a place to go but just letting his feet wonder. His mind thought back to past events replaying in his mind like a reoccurring dream. He was tired, and upset, and feeling a bunch of emotions that he never felt before that newly flowed through his veins.

"Light." Roger interrupted his train of thought from behind his desk. "You have a visitor."

"Visitor?" Light asked, looking around. Around the corner Misa ran up into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Misa?"

"Oh, Light! Misa-Misa has missed you so much!" Misa yelled.

"It hasn't even been a week yet." Light stated.

"But to Misa-Misa it feels like forever!" With these words she hugged tighter. "I've also missed our 'alone time'."

[So have I.]

"Really? Would you like to see my room, then?" Light asked. No. What are you doing? I can't do this here. [Yes you can.]

"Well hello there." Mello greeted, stopping Light and Misa's path to his room. Near stood next to Mello. "This is the Amane Misa in the flesh, huh?"

"Misa, this is Mello. He is a friend I made here. Next to him is his brother, Near. Another friend." Light explained, gesturing to them. "This is my girlfriend."

"Nice to meet you, but if you don't mind I've missed Light quite a lot since he's been gone." Misa explained, walking to the room she understood to be Light's. "I was hoping to be alone with him for a while."

Mello grew a very cheshire-like smile as Near raised an eyebrow.

"Well, don't let us interferer. Let's go, Near." Mello ordered, practically dragging Near into the main room. Mello found a chair to spin around in, accompanied by wheels, while Near sat on the couch.

"Is it really that smart to leave them alone?" Near asked.

"Let him have some fun!" Mello grinned.

"I don't understand how those activities can be labeled as fun." Near stated.

"That's because your a reclusive narcissist with obsessive compulsive disorder." Mello retaliated.

"Excuse me? Did you just call me a Narcissist?" Near asked.

"You heard me." Mello's face was met with a slap that had the force to make his cheek redden. Mello slowly touched the stinging spot on his face while looking at Near with wide eyes. "Did... Did you really just slap me?"

"Don't ever call me a narcissist again." Near ordered. Mello's eyes narrowed as he leaned in to look at Near.

"Why Near? What are you going to do? Tell me how I'm not better? Tell me I'll always be second compared to you? Go on. I dare you. Once those words leave your mouth I can promise you that I will punch you in the face so hard that you will lose every tooth and never be able to form a coherent word ever again." Mello hissed at Near, the younger showing no fear while inside he was very terrified.

"Mello. Near. Will you please stop?" Roger asked, walking out from spot behind his desk and in between the two. "I am going to do the rounds and you better not be found dead by then."

"Or what, Roger? It will be too quiet around here that your head will explode?" Mello asked.

"No." Roger took a step to get around the blond but Mello swerved the chair to intervene in his path. "I must do my rounds or-"

"Or what?! The world will end?! What if I need you?! What if I am dying?!" Mello yelled, startling the old man.

"That would be important to me but I can see-"

"You can see nothing! Here!" Mello yelled, grabbing the pen on Roger's notepad and holding it dangerously to his neck. "What now, Roger?! Can you see this?! Huh?! I have problems! Save me Roger!"

"Please, Mello."

"Oh no! What's going to happen?! Roger! Roger!"

"Mello!" Matt yelled suddenly, walking up to the group. "Quiet down and stop scaring poor Roger. Give me the pen because now I will have to be doing the rounds."

Mello stared, debating the results, and then slowly held the pen to Matt who took both the pen and the notepad. Mello stared as Matt made a beeline for Light's room. The red head opened the door to see Light with his shirt off, tie half choking him, on top of Misa Amane who's shirt was riding too far up for Matt's own good. When the door opened the two of them immediately stopped all actions and departed from each other.

"Hey, Light. Did you forget we have rounds around here?" Matt asked as Light glared at him. "You have the freedom to walk around. I suggest you do that instead."

Matt closed the door and tried to hold back his laughter. Mello laughed with hysteria and Near even grinned.

Light held Misa's hand as they descended down the stairs to go outside.

[Damn, Matt. He ruined everything and now I have a permanent problem that only grows the more I hold Misa's hand.]

Thank you, Matt.

Misa started leading him to her car and Light stopped.

"I'm not aloud to go that way, Misa. The path is this way." Light explained, pointing to the grass.

"Don't be silly, Light. I'm breaking you out of here." Misa explained in a hushed voice.

"What?" Light asked.

"I asked for a raise and got enough money to get us out of this country and over to Canada." Misa explained. "I have relatives over there and an offer to do a television show. You'll be perfectly safe and we can finally be together forever."

Light stared at the blond headed girl for a moment, shock easily seen in the eyes.

"I-I can't Misa."

"What?! Why?! I did all of this! I've worked hard to have you and help you! This is for you!" Misa yelled, no longer caring if she was heard. Fortunately nobody was outside.

"I didn't ask you to do all of this. I never wanted you to. I put myself in here. I want to be here." Light explained, trying not to yell back at Misa.

"How? How could you want to be in here and so far away from me?" Misa asked.

Because your stupid, annoying-

[Loud, obnoxious-]

And plain out the perfect stereotype for blonds.

"Because I don't love you!" Light yelled.

[Wait... ... Shit.]

"W-what?" Misa asked.

"That's right, Misa. I said it. I don't love you." Light explained.

"B-But you told me you were going to marry me! You promised me you were going to marry me!" Misa was screaming now.

"Yeah, your right, I did. And how many times did that get me into bed with you, Misa? How many times?! I used you! I lied to you so I could get what I want! I mean, fuck Misa, I'm not even straight!" Light yelled back.

"Not even..?" Misa trailed off, tears coming to her eyes. She stormed up to Light and then punched him weakly against his chest. "I can't believe you, you bastard! I gave you everything because I thought you loved me! I gave you everything because I love you! How dare you!"

The tears finally poured out of her eyes as she ran in her car, slammed the door, and sped away.

[What have you done? She'll never come back.]

Why do you care?

--

L watched the car drive away, and Light shake his head in frustration.

"What are you doing L?" Near asked, walking over and standing next to the insomniac, also watching the end of a very interesting scene.

"Light just broke up with Misa." L stated.

"Why?"

"I do not know." L admitted as his eyes followed Light's form walking back inside.

"So, why are you smiling then?" Near asked, and L's hand immediately went to his mouth to cover the smile that was, in fact, there.

"I... Don't know... I'm relieved, I guess." L stated.

"Why? Light is not a person to worry over." Near explained, watching L intently.

"I don't know, I just am. I guess your right." L's voice dropped to monotone as he said this.

"Good. If I didn't know you better I would say that you have a crush on him." Near stated as he walked away. "But I know that you don't love."

"Y-Yeah..." L murmured once Near was out of sight. He looked back out the window and at the clear sky as humming bird decided to rest in front of the window. L's hand touched the window as if to try and touch the humming bird. "I don't love... Right?"
