Bonus Chapter:

Refuse the Call

Foolish, silly, unintelligent, idiotic, scatterbrained.

Nonsensical, senseless, harebrained.

Unthinking, ill-advised, ill-considered.

Unwise, injudicious, inane.

Absurd, ludicrous, ridiculous.

Laughable, risible, fatuous.

Asinine, mad, insane.

Light Yagami, currently seventeen years old, used these twenty three words to describe herself as she stared down at the Death Note. Something which she had just been about to pick up in a moment of boredom.

Something which had been the death of her counter part.

Her counter part, which she had no intention of following in his footsteps.

So, with a decisive nod, she simply lifted her long leg and stepped over the damned book. A smirk lifted on her features as she made her way to her favorite bakery. She did have a mild sweet tooth after all.

She felt damned proud of herself.

Almost as if she had flipped off the Shinigami King or something.

In fact, she felt so proud of herself, that in a moment of pure bliss and euphoria she decided that she was done being Light Yagami.

Fuck being perfect. Fuck University.

She was going to be selfish for once.

O-O

"I'm back!" Light cheerfully called out the next day as she entered her home.

The brunette heard a few surprised noises before her mom and little sister stumbled in front of her, both wearing dumbstruck looks as they saw her wearing a pair of black skinny jeans under a red corset. Her hair, which now had red streaks, was slightly curled and she had done her make up.

"Could you two help me with my bags?" Light sheepishly asked holding up some shopping bags.

What?

She could stand to spoil herself from time to time.

"L-Light...what happened to you?" Sachiko asked her daughter.

"Oh! I bought some clothes, from that new store near my school? You know, the one Yuri-chan asked me to go to? Then we went to the salon and the hairdresser went wild. Even recommended a few products."

"What about school...?" Sachiko cautiously asked, not believing Light could go shopping and take a trip to the salon within an hour after school ended.

"I skipped." Light shrugged taking off her newly bought leather boots.

"Why?!" Sachiko exclaimed.

"Relax mom. One day won't kill anyone." Light deadpanned as Sayu excitedly began looking over the contents of the bags, gushing over the products here and there.

"Light. I am disappointed in you." Sachiko frowned.

Light's smile finally disappeared.

"Mom..." Sayu frowned, pissed at her mom for getting rid of Light's smile. Especially since it was actually a genuine one.

"So?" Light coldly asked. "I don't care. I'm tired. I quit."

"L-Light?" Sachiko stuttered.

"I'm done being the perfect daughter. So, I quit. From now on, I'm going to do what makes me happy." With those words, Light stalked away to her room leaving behind a gaping Sachiko and a proud Sayu.

'Onee-sama...'

Sayu grinned and took off after her sister.

O-O

Two weeks later, Sayu gasped in wonder earning her mother and Light's attention.

"Light, look!"

Light blinked as Sayu shoved a magazine in her face.

Light Yagami, up and coming Model. The cover of the magazine read along with a picture of Light dressed in her uniform, her hips cocked to the side with an arrogant smirk on her features.

"My sister's a model~!" Sayu gushed.

Sachiko managed an uneasy smile, not quite knowing how to communicate with her daughter anymore. The only one who seemed capable of that was her other daughter. But she still nodded at Light. "Congratulations."

"Hmm." Light softly smiled.

One thing Sachiko knew for sure though, she's never seen her daughter so happy before.

"...serial killer..."

Light blinked as she turned her attention to the TV.

Serial Killer That Kills With Heart Attacks.

Light couldn't help but laugh as she turned off the TV.

Ignoring her mother and Sayu's confused looks, she calmly sipped on her tea. Not in the least worried about the person who did follow her counter part's footsteps. She'd leave that person up to L.

L.

Usually, Light would experience a thousand emotions at once when she thought about the detective. The emotions would then go away when she continued back to whatever she was doing.

But this time?

Light simply smiled.

L was not her problem.

Neither was Kira.

O_O

Light slightly hissed as her chest area began feeling irritated.

Without really thinking, she lifted her hand up and furiously scratched that area.

"Is something wrong Yagami?"

Light glanced at Kiyomi Takada, noticing that the girl looked slightly irritated and confused behind her calm facade. Light gave a placid smile in return, suspecting that Takada somehow knew what was going on. "Well, just a little heartache, you know?"

"..."

"Maybe it's Kira." Light mused.

"Why would Kira want to kill you?" Takada asked, too quickly.

Light allowed a smirk to lift up her features. "I don't know, you tell me, Kira." She lowly said causing Takada's eyes to narrow.

'Bingo.' Light thought. 'Figures she'd pick up the Death Note.' The brunette rolled her eyes as she stood up. "Be careful not to get caught in your extra curricular activities out of school, Kiyomi-chan~!"

To anyone else, Light sounded friendly.

To Takada?

Her lips twitched. She felt mocked.

Light sighed in disappointed once she was outside the door. 'If I was her, I would have threatened me to keep my mouth shut by using my family as leverage. Takada's a sloppy Kira...'

'Though I wonder how I'm still alive if she wrote my name, which she probably did for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with me being a reincarnation?'

Whatever, it was off to work for her. She had to meet her co-worker for her next shoot, Misa Amane. Otherwise known as someone Light wanted to prevent from getting involved in the Kira case.

She felt like she owed the girl a debt for putting up with her original counterpart after all.

O_o

Light took in a deep breath, then knocked on the door leading to Misa's changing room, where Misa also took her break.

The door went open a few seconds later, revealing a pleasantly surprised Misa. "Misa didn't expect to see Light! Come in, come in." The blonde model ushered the brunette in, having no idea that the brunette was going to ruin her day slightly.

Light offered Misa a polite smile. "I wanted to talk to you about something, err, private."

"Really?" Misa looked at Light with her blue eyes, which Light had found out were not contacts.

If it was the Light from a few months ago, she would be breathless and trying to do anything for Misa, just because Misa gave her life for her counter part. But this Light, the one who had recently resolved herself not to give a fuck about anything, felt a bit detached.

The only reason she was going to warn Misa not to get involved was to pay off a debt. Beyond that, she didn't care if Misa actually followed through or not, because she wasn't here to clean up the original Light Yagami's past crimes/jerkasery.

"Don't get involved with Kira." Light bluntly told the girl.

Misa's bubbly aura disappeared. "What?"

"Don't use the Death Note either."

Misa's eyes widened, reminding Light of the wide eyed look Sayu would have when she gets scolded.

Light, in a show of utter lack of care, flicked Misa's forehead. "Keep up the good modelling. I'll see you tomorrow." Then Light left, only throwing a casual wave behind her and ignoring the blonde's shouts.

'That went better than I thought. I half-expected her to scratch me to death or something.'

One hour later, while Light was about to cross the streets, she almost got hit by a truck.

Almost.

If she hadn't stop to bend over and pick up a coin laying innocently on the sidewalk.

'Score.' Light thought, oblivious to the truck.

o_O

"It seems like Light-san is running a bit late, would you mind waiting Misa-chan?" The director of the shoot asked, a small frown on his features.

Misa flashed him a big smile. "Misa will wait~!" Inside her head however, the blonde was smugly pleased that she had gotten rid of Light Yagami for standing against her, and by extension her mission of finding Kira. She absently heard the door open while she was imagining how her meeting with Kira would go and if Kira would be good looking or not.

"Misa...look..." Rem ordered lifting up a finger to point at the door.

"Huh?" Misa asked following Rem's bony finger. Her eyes then widened as Light stood there with a sheepish smile while holding a bakery bag. "What's going on?!" Misa exclaimed in surprise earning everyone's attention.

"I stopped by to get everyone some cake, as thank you." Light smoothly said.

Yet, Misa knew that Light knew what she really meant.

Misa glared at Light.

Light tilted her head in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

The staff looked between the two of them, sensing some one-sided tension on Misa's part.

"Oh! You think cake is fattening, right?" Light asked, a sparkle of realization and amusement in her eyes. "I knew that, so I got you some low-fat cake that you can just burn without really doing anything out of your routine." The brunette held up a smaller bag.

"Misa, you're drawing too much attention. Get her alone." Rem spoke up.

Misa snapped out of her mood, plastering a fake smile. "Thank you Light. Misa appreciates it!" She thanked taking the bag from Light, with no intention of eating whatever Light had gotten her. "Can Misa talk to Light for a minute?"

Light nodded and walked Misa to her changing room.

"So, now that we're alone, I'm assuming you're willing to follow my advice on not meeting Kira?" Light immediately asked, in a casual manner while stretching her arms.

"No!" Misa exclaimed, fully snapping out of the shock of seeing Light alive and breathing.

Light sighed. "Then I guess I have no choice."

Misa tensed and saw Rem take out her Death Note from the corner of her eyes. "Choice?" Misa repeated, ready to defend herself if the situation arises.

Light reached into her pocket.

Misa took a step back.

"Here." Light took out a slip of paper.

"H-huh?" Misa was confused as she took the piece of paper, where a name and address stood.

"Kira's information. Go meet Kira, but don't tell her about your eyes or Death Note, and then we can talk."

O_o

Light yawned as she walked into her favorite bakery. She scanned the room before finding Misa, who had asked her to meet up, and walked over to the blonde.

"Next time Misa will choose where we meet." The blonde model grumbled.

Light rolled her eyes before taking a seat across from Misa. "Hello to you too, Sunshine."

Misa pursed her lips.

Light raised her eyebrow, having expected the blonde to say something dramatic in response.

"Misa met Kiyomi."

"And?"

"Kiyomi is a bitch." Misa growled. "Misa can't believe Misa actually wanted to become her sidekick and help her get rid of bad people. Misa should just write her name down."

Light was actually surprised Misa didn't just do that already. "Then what?"

"Then Misa will become Kira." Misa said with a decisive nod.

"First of all, you shouldn't go confessing your desire to become a serial killer to someone you don't even know and happens to be a cop's daughter." Light dryly commented, amused to see Misa pale. "Second of all, don't become Kira."

Misa frowned. "Why not?"

"I get that the idea of Kira appeals to you considering the man who killed your family is dead thanks to that, but it doesn't mean you have to take it upon yourself to judge and kill people. Besides, not every criminal deserves to die. What right do you have to decide who lives and who dies? To take someone away from their family? Or to make someone an orphan?"

Inwardly, Light slapped herself for being a hypocrite.

Misa went quiet.

Light sighed. "But it's up to you. I won't say anything if you end up becoming Kira. Your life, your choice."

"Rem asks how you know so much." Misa quietly said in response.

"Hmm? Let's just say I've seen a Death Note before." Light vaguely said. "Now let's eat."

She ended up convincing Misa to eat some cake too.

O_o

"What's up Misa?" Light greeted picking up the phone.

"Misa talked with Rem about what you said."

"And?"

"Misa won't become Kira."

"That's great." Relief flooded through Light.

"But Rem wants to know what you're planning for that bitch."

Light quietly chuckled. "Absolutely nothing."

"Eh?"

"What about you? What do you want to do with that two-faced bitch?"

"Misa..."

"Hm?"

"Misa wants to hand her L!" Misa's voice sounded determined.

"..." Light blinked.

"Or something..." Misa sounded sheepish.

Light couldn't help but laugh. "Good luck with that."

"Eh? Misa wants you to help!"

"Huh? I'm not exactly the heroic type of person." Light grumbled.

"Please? Misa would very much appreciate it!"

Light could just imagine Misa giving her a puppy dog eyed look. The brunette sighed, deciding that this was the last thing she was going to do to clear up her debt with Misa. "Fine."

"Yay!" Misa cheered.

o_O

L bit his thumb as Soichiro Yagami entered the hotel room with Light Yagami and Misa Amane. The former being a former suspect of the Kira case, while the latter was just a random model.

"What is going on?" The detective asked.

"My daughter needs to speak to you about the Kira case. I will take responsibility for breaking protocol." Soichiro swiftly answered.

"And the model?"

"She's here as my bubbly sidekick." Light smoothly answered earning a look from Misa.

"Misa's also the reason Light got up her lazy butt to help."

It was now Light's turn to shoot Misa a look.

Although the scene was amusing, L coughed. "Do explain."

"Do you believe in Shinigami?"

Light received unimpressed looks from both her father and the detective.

"Misa does, Misa does!" Misa chirped raising her hand.

"Of course you do Misa." Light pinched the bridge of her nose before looking L in the eyes. The emotions were back, Light absently noticed, as she stared into the eyes of the man who was her counterpart's greatest rival. "Shinigami live in a different realm. They use tools, called Death Note, to kill off humans by writing down their names and add to their lifespan."

"Are you implying that Kira is a Shinigami?" L asked, narrowing his eyes.

Light was too lost in her thoughts to answer, so Misa spoke up: "No!"

"Kira is a human with a Death Note." Light stated.

"How do you even know about this?" Soichiro asked, losing his patience with the whole situation. If this was Light's idea of a joke after giving up everything, Soichiro would ground her. (He failed to realize that Light could just move out.)

"Because Misa has a Death Note~!" Misa cheerfully informed and took out her Death Note. "If you touch it, you'll see Misa's Shinigami, Rem!"

L however looked at Light, who was obviously the brains of the duo, ignoring Misa's pout. Light nodded at him. Although L was still skeptical, he and Soichiro touched the book.

"Say hi to Rem."

L could only yell out in surprise, not noticing how Light snickered and quickly hid a camera.

Soichiro had made a motion to grab his gun, realizing too late that he didn't have it on him.

"RELAX!" Misa yelled.

Light shook her head in amusement as the two adults calmed down. "I'm sorry for their behavior Rem." She apologized looking at the Shinigami, which she was able to see since the day before.

"It's okay. I know humans are stupid already, so I expected this." Rem replied.

Light smiled a bit, unlike her original counterpart she and Rem did get along. The fact that both of them were kinda stuck with Misa at this point was something they had in common.

"Shinigami can grant a Death Note user a power that allows them to see a person's name and lifespan. If this person is in possession of a Death Note, only his or her name will be visible. Which is how Misa knows who Kira is."

All eyes turned to Misa.

"Kira is a bitch."

"Misa." Both Rem and Light warned.

"...a bitch named Kiyomi Takada."

"Good girl." Light patted Misa's head.

"May I see hold it?" L motioned to the Death Note and earned a nod from Misa.

"Misa hasn't written any name, in case that's what you want to know." Light mumbled.

"...hmm, there is a name written here."

Light blinked. "What?" She asked as Misa looked away, pink covering her cheeks.

"Your name." L clarified.

Light gave Misa an unimpressed look. "Seriously? What's up with everyone and writing my name?"

"Why are you still alive?" L curiously asked.

"I'm immune." Light shrugged. "Don't know why though."

"Regardless, we should arrest the girl for attempted murder!" Soichiro yelled, glaring at the blonde.

Misa flinched under his glare while Rem scowled at him.

Light waved her father off. "I'm not pressing charges."

"Very well," L intervened before Soichiro could say anything else. "We'll have you two explain this to the rest of the Task Force when they get here."

Light groaned. "Too much work."

Soichiro frowned at Light. "You used to be hard working Light."

"It's in the past." Light dismissed her father.

"You threw away To-oh for modelling Light."

"Yep."

"Why?"

Light shrugged. "You wouldn't get it."

"Leave personal matters out of this room, Chief Yagami." L interjected earning everyone's attention. "Besides, I think Light-chan is a good model." He smiled.

o_O

"Kira is a human who has something called the Death Note. Normally, Shinigami uses it to kill off humans and live longer. Shinigami eyes, which can be granted to a Death Note user at the price of half their lifespan, can let someone see a person's name and lifespan. Kira just writes their name and they die of a heart attack. Except me, I'm immune 'cause I'm a freak of nature apparently." Light summarized.

"Light-chan, that was more than fifty words." L chided.

Light shot the detective a glare before huffing.

The Task Force all began shouting their disbelief.

"Hey Light?" Misa suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Misa thinks that one likes you." Misa pointed to someone.

"Matsuda? Pffft, no way." Light snorted.
