A/N- Sorry for not updating for a while, I've been sick and stuff...anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 20

The next day after we arrived in Japan, I snuck out of the floor of a hotel that L is staying in. For some reason, he just had to rent the whole top-floor; saying something about privacy.

Whenever Watari had seen B, the look on his face wasn't surprised at all like I was hoping it would be. The old man said that he seen us while he was out shopping for 'Ryuzaki'. He's somewhat cautious around Beyond and I, but other than that he leaves us alone.

I boarded a train that would take me to Misa's house. I suppose I can still call it mine as well, though. The train ride was rather quickly, so I was at my destination in no time at all. I walked up to the large, yet normal house, and knocked on the mahogany door.

"Just a second!" A familiar, cheery voice yelled, then the front door opened to reveal Misa.

"Hello Lamia-chan!" The petite blonde squealed and grabbed my hand, pulling me inside the home.

"Calm down, Misa." I demanded in a strict tone. She stopped her rambling and raised a brow at me in confusion.

"What's wrong?" She asked. "Misa-Misa can tell you have something on your mind, so spill it!" Misa pushed me into the nearby leather sofa and sat next to me.

"I-" I started to talk, but I froze whenever I glanced above Misa's blonde head. There's no lifespan! That means that she has the eyes of a shinigami, she's Kira, or she's both!

I shut my mouth which was hanging agape. Turning my head, I acted like I was embarrassed to talk to try and fool the young woman I am sitting next to. It worked, because Misa placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Did that boy break your heart? That's why you came back to Japan; to get away from him! Wait until Misa-Misa gets ahold of him; I'll tear him to shreds for hurting Lamia-chan!" Misa keeps rambling, while I am stuck in my own little world thinking about what I should do now.

I can't kill her yet. There's not enough proof to say that she is Kira. Even if she is, I highly doubt that she could pull the whole thing off. Maybe she works with Kira? Ah! There's so many 'what if's'! I mentally argued with myself and then decided to just agree with Misa to make her shut up.

"Lamia-chan? Did you notice that my co-workers have been disappearing lately?" Finally, she mentioned something useful.

"No, why? Something going on and they are getting fired or something?" I acted like I was concerned, but my only concern is to find out answers.

"Well, Misa-Misa hasn't seen them do anything wrong to get fired..." She trailed off. I interrupted her before she could say more.

"Maybe they was killed?" I smirked to myself.

"Maybe, or maybe Misa-Misa isn't good enough for them!" Misa put her face in her hands and wailed.

"Calm down. Look, I have to go. Take care." I patted the blonde girl's back and swiftly left before she stopped me.

Maybe the people are being controlled by Kira? I won't mention this to L until I get more proof...

"Yo, Lamia." Beyond greeted with an un-enthusiastic wave. I waved back and plopped down on the sofa next to him.

"Where have you been?" L asked, causing me to nearly jump out of my skin. I didn't see him over there in the corner.

"Just out."

"Just out?" L scoffed and stared into my eyes. "You should always tell someone before you leave on your own. It's dangerous for you to be out alone."

Memories of my fights in the past flooded my mind. If L wasn't there to help me that one time, I would've been killed. I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed softly. "I was gathering information, Ryuzaki-kun." I breathed out.

"On what, exactly?" L asked me. Beyond sat silently, watching us curiously.

"My 'sister'." I said.

"Oh. Find out anything important or anything we haven't already came up with?" L asked me.

"Nope. She's just acting her normal, cheery and carefree self." I closed my eye, wanting to rest it. That's it! She didn't ask about my eye, so that means she already knew about it!

"Ryuzaki, I just thought of something!" I open my right eye and gaze at the pale man.

He gave me a questioning glance, which was my cue to talk. "Misa didn't ask anything about my left eye, so that means she already knew about it." L's wide eyes blinked at me, and he typed something quickly.

"Good deduction skills, Lamia. Now we know that she has to be involved somehow in the cases where people attack you." L praised me.

"Ha! I feel smarter now." I giggled.

Beyond reached across the couch and stroked my hair, but stopped when L looked back at us. I decided to change the subject of Misa to something else.

"Is it gonna snow soon?" I asked.

"There's a 90% chance tonight," L said and looked at me with half-lidded eyes. "You like snow, don't you Lamia-chan?"

"Of course! I love cold weather..." And that wasn't a lie. I used to love playing out in the middle of the night (which technically I still do), whenever it is cooler outside. I don't like the sun that much; it causes warmth and light, and I like coldness and night.

"Interesting." L commented and got back to work.

"We should go outside whenever it starts to snow." Beyond told me and I smiled at him, nodding happily in agreement.
