Mizu: Holy shit I hate real life
Ameko: This time even I don't get to call her out on excuses and other forms of bullshit
Mizu: The first day I woke up late because my phone (which I have my alarms set on) didn't go off. The next day I had major writers block, the next day I had a doctors appointment and just because I was reserved and thinking about my fanfiction she thinks I'm on drugs (which I'm not) and the next day I had to go get blood drawn to do a drug test
Ameko: Translation: Real life screws up fanfiction time

Ameko: SO LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!
"It is with great sorrow that I must announce the passing of one of our very own colleges. The police have identified the body found at the scene to be NHN's miss Kiyomi Takada. A two ton truck and a motorcycle were also found in the ruins of the burned down church. Investigators suspect that gasoline was used to start the fire" I narrowed my eyes at the reporter's screen, carefully discerning the words.
Police have identified the body... the body. Only one corpse...
Amaya did it.
I hid my smile to the best of my abilities, reveling in the fact that she had managed to save Matt and Mello. My eyes drifted over to the clock on the wall, watching the hands tick by, closing in on the time of Kira's demise.
By the time my gaze was pulled off from the clock the screens had changed to four separate stations, all bickering over who got to be Kira's next spokesperson.
"Disgusting" Ide mutters in annoyance at the idiotic reporters.
"Yeah I know. I mean, they just announced her death and already it's started. Every TV station airing it's own segment on who should replace her. It's like she never existed..." Matsuda clarified.
I sighed. "Well Matsuda... The world is a cruel place after all. Your boss dies, you take the chance for a promotion. The circle going around and around till the end of time"
The dark haired man stuttered. "I-I guess you're right. But it's still wrong"
I smiled at the naive detective, staring at his wishful gaze I could only remember the tear-stricken contort of anger that was soon to come.
The screen beeped loudly, filling the shots with the Gothic, capitol letter N. "It's Near" Ide exclaimed.
I leaned closer to the speakers as the hidden albino spoke. "Hello L"
"Yes?" Light voiced.
The screens flickered. "I don't mean to keep bothering you but, with regards to our meeting I wanted to confirm that we are still set for the twenty-eighth at one pm. Alright?"
Light glared at the letter with an over-confident hatred. "Yes..."
"Very well. The twenty-eighth, the day after tomorrow"
"Right" Light shut off the communication.
Matsuda stretched a grin from the corners of his face. "So the day after tomorrow huh? Finally! Isn't it getting exciting?"
I nudged Matsuda playfully. "Yeah. But we still need to be careful" I advised.
My eyes trailed wistfully to my phone, itching to call L and tell him the situation.
"L! I need to tell you something!" I threw open the door in a hurry, instantly shaking the dark haired detective's shoulder while he was crouching on the couch. That is, until he looked upward and I was locking with eyes of bloody red instead of charcoal black. Coughing awkwardly, I scratched the back of my head. "Oh... Sorry BB..." The murderer shrugged and flashed me an unsettling grin.
"Don't worry Mizuki... By the way, we have a visitor" Seemingly out of thin air, Beyond pulled a jar of jam into his left hand, scooping out the sticky red substance with his right.
I blinked. "Visitor?"
Snap!
The familiar sound of bones snapping echoed through the apartment. I slowly turned around only to come face to face with the bone layered shinigami.
"Rem... How nice to see you..." To say the least, Rem did not look happy.
Her yellow feline like eye bore into mine. "Misa's number have not changed... Why is that?"
I stayed silent, walking over to Beyond's side on the couch before speaking.
"I've been waiting for you. In order to save her life I'll need your help" She tilted her head, echoing off another snapping noise.
Her bony hands clenched. "Well, go on then. Tell me what I need to do"
I nodded. "Misa loves Light with all her heart. She won't give up the death note easily. But I've thought about it for a long time and the only way to save her is to make her stop loving Light. We can't just make her give up the death note because she's a celebrity. Her engagement to Light is common knowledge. If we get rid of her memories then someone else will just tell her and she'll remember everything"
Rem gestured for me to go on.
"What we need to do is make her realize that Light is a horrible person who doesn't care about her. The realization will make her entire world crumble but at least she won't kill herself" Rem resentfully agreed with a nod.
"How will you do this?" She questioned.
I furrowed my eyebrows in concentration. "Right now Misa is living in the penthouse of the Tato hotel. She doesn't remember being Kira right now but to do this we need to slip her a piece of the death note and make her remember. Do you still have that page from her death note?" Rem nodded and unclipped her new notebook that hung at her side. She must have asked for a new one from Zeeron. This one was a grayish color with shimmering golden letters spelling the name DeATh Note.
Flipping open the barely used pages there was a single page, worn and crumpled from age, but still in tact. I had asked her to keep a slip of Misa's death note with her before dropping the notebook in the control room and flying off to the shinigami realm in wait.
"I need to get to that top floor. When you fly us both up there I will make her touch the death note and tell her everything about Light that she doesn't know. I'll even tell her that Light is going to die the day after tomorrow. All we can do is hope that the shock of all this will make her hate him" Rem pondered my plan for a moment before inclining in final consent.
"This plan of yours may not work Mizuki..." I jumped as I heard L's voice from the doorway.
I grit my teeth. "I know that but it's the best option I've got. Because if this doesn't work it will have to come down to her being tied to a chair and kept on a leash for the rest of her life. And I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone... except maybe Light"
I checked the clock on the wall. Four-thirty.
"Come on Rem. The sun sets at around six so we'll make it there once the sun goes down" L stared at me with hidden concern as I stood up and walked towards the door with Rem not far behind.
"Mizuki. Do not let anyone see you..." L called after me as I left.
I turned around to look at him with a reassuring smirk. "I'll be fine L. Don't worry"
And without another word I closed the door behind me and jogged down the hallway with Rem trying to keep up.
Now how was I going to not let anyone see me...
In the uninhabited area barren of people Rem and I stood in the orange glow cast by the sinking ball of fire.
"Okay Rem, ready" I bent my knees down in a spring, gripping the two juts of uneven bone and wrapping my legs just above her waist.
Without saying a thing she made the skeletal, leathery wings seemingly grow from her back and took off to the sky in one powerful beat of her wings. My breath caught in my throat at the feeling of flight. Flying with Rem was much smoother then with Ryuk, mainly due to the coordinated speed of an experienced aviation and the lack of sharp black needles.
I closed my eyes at the amazing feeling of air blowing through my hair. Wet mist sprayed my features as we rose above the heavy clouds and out of the view of a casual birdwatcher who wouldn't see a shinigami, but a girl flying through the air. As time went on a the sun dipped beneath the horizon line we had arrived at the hotel.
Previously I had checked and luckily found out that the penthouse was located on the top floor. As Rem dived back towards the clouds I had only just then realized that it was raining. Must have started while I was above the graying puffs of vapor. Cursing under my breath I let my left hand leave it's tight grip to pull my hoodie into a holding place.
Rain pelted on the casual black jacket, turning my clothes damp just as we landed on the roof. Without a second thought I dashed over to the door leading inside, only sparing a glance at the roof. My heart skipped a beat at the familiarity of this roof and L's. The heavy rain, the red dot that signaled aircraft, and the smell of nothingness made me dash inside at top speed, almost running away from the deja vu.
Rem appeared next to me after walking through the walls and pointed towards the only room in the hallway. The penthouse.
I kneeled down at the lock on the door, taking out my set of tools carefully. Slipping in both the torsion wrench and S-rake pick to hear the resounding noise of the opening lock.
Slipping inside I was met with a five-star room and a sleeping blonde snug in her bed. Rem's eye softened at the sight of her beloved daughter-figure.
Without making a single sound I maneuvered stealthily over to her side, and gently pressed the paper onto her skin.
Her eyes snapped open and I had to cover her mouth to stop her from screaming.
After the memories sunk into her mind she looked around the room desperately before landing on the shinigami looking her over with concern.
"Misa... I'm going to let go now. Don't scream" I stated before releasing the blonde and seeing her murmur only one word.
"Rem..."
-End of chapter 60-
Mizu: Yeah okay I lied
Ameko: Ha!
Mizu: Okay technically I didn't lie. I just didn't plan to write this in before realizing 'Oh shit, Misa'
Mizu: So this is not the final chapter. It is coming soon though, have a wonderful day then! Remember to review!
