Happy Holidays everyone and stay safe!!!
"You're being gifted with the power to save your soulmate."
That was what a beautiful voice had told me after an accident I had when I was five. My parents and the doctors didn't expect me to make it, but the voice told me that my soulmate would need me, and that I was being given a gift that he will need. Technically I got two, but they go hand in hand.
I was given what the voice called 'Angel eyes'. This means that when someone is dying I will see a purple clock above their heads. However, if something happens to a person that leads them to die before their time, I will see their name above their head as well. That leads me to the second part of this gift. The Life Note is a notebook that can save lives if you write a person's name in it while picturing their face. I found it on my bed when I woke up right after the accident. No one can see it except for me, at least until I decide to let them see it.
For a couple of weeks after that I would learn new things about my power when I went to sleep.
I learned that that each person was given a certain amount of time to live, and when that person's time is up, nothing can change it. Even if you try to change things, like arresting things, someone's would be killer, if that person is meant to die, they will die another way.
The only way for a person to live past their time is if a Shinigami loses their life to save them. Their lifespan will show up in green the moment I see them.
I also learned that Shinigami existed, and that they kill using notebooks called Death Notes. Normally, a person needs to touch their notebook in order to see them, and a human can own the notebook and use it however they want. The human will also forget all about Shinigami and Death Notes should they give them up.
I don't need to touch a Death Note to see them though, because of my Angel eyes. I also can't be killed by one.
I didn't understand why I needed to learn about Shinigami until Kira showed up.
I was working in Japan as a detective, the only other job besides a nurse I could imagine taking a with the Angel eyes, when it began.
When L offered to meet us if we stayed on the case, I knew that this is what I was meant to do. Not only do I know what's going on, I knew that I would probably meet my soulmate while on this case.
I never expected my soulmate to be L himself. It was truly love at first sight for me.
While I know that he probably felt something when he first looked at me, I can understand that he isn't sure of what he feels. Not everyone can recognize their soulmate on sight.
I was happy to note that I couldn't see L's lifespan when I first met him. I decided to work closely with the man so that he could fall in love with me as well.
When it came time for us to be questioned, I was completely honest with him. I showed him my Life Note, which I always keep on hand and told him about the accident that have me my gift.
I could tell that he couldn't logically believe me, but he didn't ignore my words either.
It wasn't until I was able to get a piece of Light's Death Note from his room when I volunteered to help Watari set up cameras and wiretaps in the Yagami house. I was able to use my Angel eyes to see the trap within his desk.
L was the only person besides me, to see the Shinigami talking to Light during those few days under surveillance.
I warned L of Ukita's impending death a few days before the Second Kira revealed themselves. I was also with Light in Aoyama, acting like Light's girlfriend.
