"Another great day of shooting Misa." Yoshi yells from the car as I walk inside. I sigh closing the door with a sigh.

"I'm sorry about before we left. I didn't mean to offend you." I said pulling out an apple that I had put in my bag from the shoot. "Here peace offering."

Gelus took the apple out of my hand and ate it core and all. "It is fine Gelus forgives you. I shouldn't have brought up the subject." He says smiling and moving away from the door.

I smile at him and pull up the news reports on my laptop. 10 new criminals since this morning. All ripe for the picking, but who to start with. I opened up my top desk drawer and removed the death note from it being careful not to let it be seen by the window. I started reading the information that the police had posted for the public. When I saw that a murderer had been let free because the courts didn't have enough evidence to prove his guilt.

I smile slightly pulling out a pen from one of my drawers. With a quivering hand I slowly wrote down his name making sure that he would die. I didn't stop there though, I kept going until all but one of those criminals were dead. The last one had a scar on his face over his right eye. His crime was not one of importance, all he did was crash through a burning build to save a little girl. That is no reason to kill the man, but yet the courts decided to jail him for the maximum penalty. It sickened me that someone that went out of his way putting his own life in danger was jailed. He would not be touched by the death note. I made a note to keep his face and name in mind to keep him from harm. Laxus Dreyar.

I put the pen down on top of the death note and turned to face Gelus. "Did you forget to tell me anything about this notebook?"

Gelus gave me a slight smile. "Shinigami don't have to tell you humans anything about our death notes. Be glad I gave you the information on the front cover. If it becomes important to tell you anything else I'll tell you to keep things interesting."

I sighed at Gelus. "Fine, but if I'm caught in a bind you better do everything you can to help me out of it."

Gelus laughs at my statement. "What you don't trust me?" He joked looking over my shoulder at the names I had just added to his notebook. "Why are their only nine names and not ten? There are ten named criminals but only nine written by your hand. Why?"

I gave him a slight smile. "The last criminal didn't do anything serious enough to cause me to judge the poor soul. If it was a larger crime than I would've done to him like I did the others." I took out my book and started to do the homework that I had been putting off, but left the television on to know what was happening to the criminals I had judged.

Sure enough the police were starting to note their deaths. Who knew they could be quick with their work? They wouldn't be able to locate me, though. I was being too careful to allow them to hurt me through the criminal's deaths. I just need to find a good place to hide the death note while I'm not here. That shouldn't be too hard though right, every girl needs a diary. I can just act innocent if they find it with the names of criminals in it. I looked at the design of my desk. There was just enough room for me to attach the notebook to the top of the inside of the smallest drawer. No one would suspect to have me hiding it there. Besides no one should be in here either way.

I stand up closing the drawer with my hip. I started to feel the effects on me because of my lack of sleep. "Gelus, can Shinigami fall in love?" I ask laying down on the couch closing my eyes. I didn't care about much right now I needed to get Gelus to like me again. I still felt guilt for hurting Gelus earlier today. I needed to make it up to him somehow or I would be beating myself up inside till I had.

Gelus looked down at me with a slight smile adorning his face. "Yes, but love can kill us. When Shinigami fall in love with a human they can only see them until the human dies. If they kill the person supposed to hurt them then that Shinigami would die leaving the years that were left of the Shinigami would be added to the humans." Gelus smiled slightly like he knew someone that had done this before. Like he had loved someone and lost them to a human encounter.

"Gelus did you lose another Shinigami like this before?" I asked smiling up at him, innocently.

Gelus looked away and went to the window. "I had started to fall in love with this Shinigami, but she isn't careful and would lose her life for the simplest of things." He said covering his eye.

"I'm sorry I asked." I whispered quietly this was obviously hurting him. I didn't expect this to happen. I only wanted to help him feel better. It wasn't apparently, it was only making it worse. "You don't have to continue. I'm sorry I brought up bad feelings from your past. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

He smiled weakly at me. "No you deserve to know why I'm so careful. I'll tell you why if you still want to know. Just be forewarned. Once you learn something you can't stop it from changing your life."

I look at him and return his smile. "If you don't mind telling me." I whispered hoping that he would so that I could know my boundaries.

He nodded. "If you say you'd like to know." He looked away from the window and back at me for a moment. "In the Shinigami realm their isn't much to do, but gamble or kill. I can't stand mindlessly killing those that don't deserve it, so I don't kill unless I have to. After a while I got annoyed with the monotony all of that and started keeping an eye on this female Shinigami. Her name is Rem, was. Her name was Rem.
She wasn't careful about what happened to her or her death note. This led to her being murdered. She dropped it by accident one day and started following this boy that couldn't handle the immense magnitude of owning a death note. He relinquished ownership but not before Rem gained an attachment to him. After he gave up the notebook she kept an eye on him. She never knew I existed then. I kept quiet. Then one day when the boy was supposed to die she saved him causing herself to dissipate into a pile of dust. I vowed that I would never let that happen to someone else that I cared about."

I smile at him. "I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I could help you with Rem, but alas it seems like she is no longer along the liv…err dead." I stumble on my own words trying to be helpful.

"It's fine Mistress Misa. You couldn't have done anything about it any way. It's been to long since she's been gone." He said looking out of the window again. Why is he so sad about it? He really did love her. He had to have to be this distraught over losing her.

"Gelus, I hope that you can figure something out." I say pulling my feet towards my chest. "I'm sorry, but I need to get sleep before Yoshi kills me." I chuckle closing my eyes.

I hear Gelus say quietly. "Stay safe Misa. I don't want to lose you like I have Rem.' I heard this before I slipped off into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: Sorry guys for the long wait, I was doing a slight experiment to see if anyone is reading this. I don't like writing a story that no one is going to read. So could you guys be really really nice and post a reveiw everyso often it doesn't have to be long, just something as simple as I hate you for doing that to Misa. If you would be nice enough to do that for me, I'd be grateful and I'm more likely to post chapters often. Let's not take L's cake.
