Saved From My Lonely Existence

Chapter 29

  Chapter 29

"Are you certain it's right for you to keep yourself at the Task Force Headquarters?" My cousin asks as she folds a few peaces of paper and puts them inside the front pocket of her skirt. She was nervous, her voice vibrated with the underlying echo of worry. Closing my eyes I hold up her phone I had to borrow since I had forgotten my bag on my floor at head quarters.

Not answering her question I wait through the ringing until Light finally answers. "Is something wrong Kiara?" Light's voice flowed soft with the same hint of innocence he has been masterfully pulling off while around Ryuzaki.

"Not at all, I was thinking. Since we are free to come and go as we please. Maybe we can.. Well you know. Go on a date. Take a night just for the two of us since we haven't been able to have one for so long." I listen as he falls silent. Obviously mulling over why I would suddenly request a date. It was so out of character for me I knew it would throw him through a loop.

Hearing mumbling on the other side of the phone I could only imagine Light letting the others know what I am asking to make sure it was alright before finally speaking into the phone itself. "Yes, when would you like go out?"

"Tonight, how about we meet at our favorite place." Hearing the sound of agreement from him I find myself smiling. Oh Light, I need a true night to ourselves for real.

"See you there." Giggling I hang up and hand the phone back to Aphrodite. Before rounding a corner and picking up my pace. My eyes staring straight ahead of me as I hear her ungodly shoes clunking the cement to keep up.

"Hey! isn't headquarters the other direction?" She questions finally causing me to roll my eyes.

"You don't have any other clothes here, I figured we would do some shopping then you can go back to my place. The downstairs bedroom is already furnished. You can have that one. Wait there until I return, I'll set up hacks for you to follow on my computer so you can keep up."

"Oh, so you don't want me at headquarters with you?"

"No, you will be my body while I am there. I need you to do everything I say completely. Since I have already gotten rid of L's successors and I know that killing L was a big mistake in the anime because of them. It is safe to say that Wammy's house was not the only orphanage that houses genius's and grooms them to succeed L. With this uncertainty, killing L would still be a major mistake. So..."

"This means from here on out we are no longer following the anime." she follows my train of thought as her hand reaches up and settles around her chin. Hmm, so she has a tick similar to mine only in thought she cups her chin where I bite my bottom lip. Maybe it is possible that we might not be so different after all.

"Yes, so I will need you to be diligent. We need to remain three steps ahead of L at all times."

"I see. So you should probably tell me what all has happened up to this point in time so I know how different the scenario has become." Nodding to her in agreement as I push the door open to a clothing store. Preceding to tell her everything she needed to know, leaving out details such as Light and I's relationship.

I knew by now Rem would be at Headquarters. Revealing himself to the agents working the Kira case. I could almost imagine their screams and Ryuzaki coming to the realization that Shinigami are real. Light would do a spectacular job at feigning ignorance and surprise. As Rem would further solidify Misa and I's innocence. He would be spinning our web as he grips a hold of Ryuzaki. Poor Ryuzaki, Poor L. He has no idea that Light and I have a Shinigami on our side. Plus, the annoying Misa is out of the picture. By sheer accident Rem had made sure that Misa's memory was taken while she was in the long interrogation as well as made sure Misa knows nothing about Kira's Identity. She will remain ignorant and go back to her life as a celebrity. Instead to replace our lost member to our trio we have an even more powerful ally on our side. My very own cousin who is already completely her true self. She can use her power to aid us in our quest to creating a new world. This will be perfect.
