"Are you seriously arguing the devil made her do it? You expect me to believe in fairy tales…" the detective began to scoff when he was met with harsh golden eyes and remembered just what he was talking to.
The Shinigami almost appeared amused "Where do you think your fairy tales came from human? No. I made her do it. Please. She is innocent. Her will was not her own."
Possessed? Misa was possessed. Then that means Kira… Light is possessed... Why am I even considering this?
L closed his eyes and recalled the sense memories. The electric feel of Light's body pressed against his. The way Light's mouth tasted after eating cake. The look on Light's face after he kissed him-how his cheeks would be tinged with pink, his normally neat hair mussed, and he would wear that amusing expression that appeared to be torn somewhere between annoyance and affection. It was most endearing.
Of course you know why. You just don't like the answer. You don't want to lose him and you'll cling to anything if it means you don't have to-but… what if it's true?
L opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. He repeated this process several times before finally choking out "Please, explain this to me Rem. Tell me everything!"
(TBC)
Reply
L hesitated. "I'll see what I can do."
"That's not enough!" The Shinigami snarled.
"I need to know the situation before I can give you an answer. Please Rem, she has nothing to lose at the moment. You're cooperation now can only help her case!"
The creature sighed but began recounting the rules of the notebook. When that did not appear to be enough she attempted to say what normally no human would ever be told in such a way that wouldn't have her crumbling to dust.
"I-I do not know the specifics. Just… the notebook wants to be used. It changes the owner somehow and the Shinigami is bound to remain close to the human for the conversion process. You see, the role of the owner is akin to that of a God of Death. They become hunters instead of prey. Owning the notebook changes the human. They do things they would never do on their own. Any qualities that would make the human a poor killer will be stripped away-sanity, morality, their soul whatever you humans call it these days, it's replaced by a piece of that God of Death's… essence."
As Rem continued to make excuses for Misa, L's mind continued to think and rethink and over-think the Rules of Death he had been told...
"You said you're here because of your fallen friend. That means Shinigami can die… and Rule 36."
"What about it?"
"That rules stands out. The way it's phrased, it seems like it was written more for Shinigami than it for humans. There are male and female gods of death, but it is neither permitted, nor possible for them to have sexual relations with humans. The gods of death also cannot have sex with each other… So how do you reproduce?"
"It doesn't matter if Shinigami die. There are always Shinigami."
"That's my point. It's a Shinigami's weapon so why have these rules for humans to use it?"
A conversion process… Hunters instead of prey…
"You're like… a vampire! You can't reproduce on your own so … That's why you're so protective of Misa! She's like your daughter!"
"I've said too much." Rem's ashen face seemed to go even paler. In all the eons she had existed Rem had never met a human this sharp. "Never repeat that to anyone!"
L wondered if he had managed to gain some more leverage against the creature or if it was now just more inclined to end his life.
"Then I was right. You care for Misa."
"My… feelings for Misa are… an aberration. Among my people, it is a sin to care for humans." The Shinigami looked embarrassed "Honestly, I never thought I'd have this problem. As a species, on the whole, humans disgust me-no offense."
"None taken." L replied to the grotesque-looking monster in his usual sardonic way. "But I don't understand. If you care for Misa and knew that it would affect her like this then why give her the notebook?"
The creature just radiated shame and heartbreak "I had forgotten this."
"You forgot?" How could anyone just forget something like that?
"I am very old, human. I have no doubt have forgotten more than you have ever learned in your brief lifetime. And I do not often come to the human world. As I said, I'm not particularly fond of humans."
"Just Ms. Amane."
"Lawli-" L shot her a glare and the monster quickly corrected "Ryuuzaki. Please. This is all my fault! Misa is a sweet girl-she isn't a murderer. I… corrupted her. Yes, I corrupted her without even realizing it. If your justice must punish someone then don't punish her. Punish me! This is my fault, not hers!"
"I don't suppose you can prove any of this?"
The Shinigami's eyes flashed in anger. "If you want proof all you have to do is wait. You are now the owner of that notebook-that means now I possess you. I promise if you keep that book long enough the same thing will happen to you."
The notebook fell out from between the detective's fingertips. It thumped audibly onto the coffee table. L simply stared at (into) it's abysmal black cover.
...The abyss gazes also...
"When?"
L glanced back at the monster to find that its gold eyes had taken to gleaming a sickening shade of red.
"The conversion has already begun."
Reply
"I apologize for resorting to threats so quickly. I feared that merely begging for your mercy would be in vain. Qualities such as mercy are usually the first to go. Though perhaps you might yet be kinder if you refrained from holding that book in your hand. So you will help Misa, yes?"
"I thought… Misa was the owner-" L began when Rem interrupted him.
"Misa was the owner. I told you, I convinced her to forfeit ownership and her memories of the notebook."
"But then shouldn't whoever picked it up first be the owner?"
"Whoever picked it up must have given it to you with a strong desire to give it up."
L's thoughts were racing. That was Mogi. The detective recalled how the big man had shivered and thrust the black notebook at him. "Take it! It gives me the creeps!"
That was even before the Shinigami had appeared.
Mogi, curiously hadn't screamed like everyone else when the Shinigami had appeared but L had just attributed it to the man's strong work ethic since, as usual, a thick stack of papers held the man's full attention-L figured he just hadn't noticed it yet.
"He gave it up so he doesn't see or hear me. Only the owner and those who have touched the notebook can see and hear me. It's as I told you, give up the notebook and you forget everything about the notebook and Shinigami. But if you give it up now before you help Misa I will kill you."
"I haven't written in it yet," L murmured to himself. "Then there is a choice. Good to know."
"You think that now. But you should know that few Shinigami would show you the… kindness that I have." Rem explained, grimacing as if she had said a dirty word. "You are lucky that you knew what it was when you found it and that I explained it to you. You know the standard tradition among the Shinigami is to throw it at a human and let them figure it out. Know that even if you don't write in the book the book's influence is undeniable. It's meant to be used. If you choose to keep it even if you never write in it yourself you will eventually force others to write in it for you. The book will change you. You will become the very thing you most despise. This is the curse of the notebook."
The eccentric detective still seemed to be staring off into space. In reality his deductions were coming so fast he could barely process them.
"Kira… If this is all true then the same thing… that's how…"
"I take it that Kira means something to you, human." Rem said, mocking L's earlier words.
Rem had despised Kira. She hated him for making Misa feel this way and for killing so many of his own kind. However, that hatred had softened a bit after witnessing him performing that act of love and sacrifice. He had saved this man's life with no thought to his own. Lke Gelus. Come to think of it, if Kira was a Shinigami, he would have been dust long ago. Perhaps Kira was even as pure as Misa? (As Misa should have been…)
L met the Shinigami's eyes with a hardened stare as he answered her. "Yes… Kira is the one I am sworn to defeat."
The Shinigami sounded amused when it replied. "No. He means more to you than that. You're just like Misa."
"WHAT?"
"When she thinks of him it makes her cheeks go all red too."
L was pretty sure his cheeks were "going all red" right now.
"Perhaps we can help each other. It's obvious you care for Kira."
"You think I-?"
"Yes." L glared, annoyed at being interrupted again. "You should know Kira's Shinigami, Ryuk, won't be so willing to let his human go. Please. Help Misa and I will help you save Kira."

L didn't want to give up Kira.
L was prepared to believe the Shinigami that Light was possessed and controlled and shouldn't be held accountable. It sounded like a believable enough excuse even if it was pure bullshit. He was ready to let Light off Scott-free even knowing everything he had done. As far as L was concerned, he solved the case, he had his fun, and Kira wouldn't kill again. The day was saved. Justice was done. Blah, blah, blah. That part wasn't bothering him.
Nor was it that in order to give Light a clean slate he would, in effect, be brainwashing Light-or rather "reprogramming" him, undoing the brainwashing brought on by the book. In any case he would be controlling him to be good. It was not much better than Kira, really, but L wasn't too bothered by that. He was L, the world's greatest detective that lived in the shadows, engaged in unsavory business. He always knew he was a murder spree away from being Kira himself and he freely compared himself with his nemesis.
No, what was bothering L was that if Rem's story was true and Misa and Light had been brainwashed-that meant the person he knew, the Light L knew, Kira… wasn't real, had never been real. It was some alternate personality brought on by trauma or demonic possession or something and the person he knew wasn't the true Light. Therein lay the problem. He liked the Light he knew, even though he was Kira. L always knew but… but for the first time in his life he felt something and it was for… Dammit, they had something here! Watari had even given his somewhat grudging approval. And now L had the means to "save" him but… it would also change him. Without Kira who was Light? Would doing this, in effect, kill the boy he knew?
But this was Light's shot at happiness. Should he really deprive the teen of a chance at redemption and a happy life just because he was bored and wanted someone to talk to? And though L was pretty new at this he was fairly certain that keeping Light as Kira and holding him against his will wasn't exactly a recipe for a happy, loving relationship. But if he made Light forget… L knew he was being selfish but he didn't want to lose whatever this was that they had. Would Light even give him the time of day if he wasn't Kira? After all Kira was only pretending to be his friend to get his name. Once that was removed, Light would no longer have a reason to put up with the detective's many quirks, bad habits, and harassing behaviors...
"WHO did this? Give me their name!" The teen had demanded upon seeing the scars Beyond Birthday had given him, shaking with righteous fury. Protective. Light had protected him from Misa.
He cares. Even if it comes out of a desire to destroy me… he cares. I mean something to him. Perhaps then I am the problem.
It was with Kira that had engaged L intellectually without Kira would Light become… boring? Without Kira could Light even capture his interest? And that he was considering this… considering abandoning Light after he saved his life… Did this make him a terrible person? L didn't want to abandon Light after the case was over but, realistically, what other outcome could there possibly be? Things would go back to the way they were. Light would go back to his old life of being a student and L would move on to his next case…
No.
L abruptly stood up, his head swimming from sitting so long. The detective's bare feet quietly padded down the hall.
"Where are you going, human? Have you decided?"
L nodded discreetly to the Shinigami "I'm going to talk to Misa. There's something I need to know…"
(TBC)

L might have had more sympathy for her if not for the facts that 1) she had just tried to kill him and Light and 2) every time she opened her mouth it was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. Rem was, predictably, rather displeased upon seeing how Misa was tied up and let her displeasure with the situation be known with a long, drawn-out growl.
Hmmm Mama Shinigami is angry.
"This is totally unnecessary! She no longer has the power!"
" It could all be an elaborate ruse to make me think the notebook is the source of Kira's power " L murmured, paranoid as usual.
The Shinigami gave L a look. "Misa elaborate?"
L worried at his thumbnail but the creature had a pointthose two words didn't belong together in the same sentence.
"Misa is smarter than most men give her credit for but I'm afraid she isn't that smart. She isn't your Kira."
My Kira
L smiled to himself as he remembered how Light looked with mussed hair and flushed cheeks and quickly shook his head to dispel the images. He had work to dothough his work was gratifying in its own way.
L clicked on the microphone.
"Misa Amane "
"Oh, is that you, Mr. Stalker?"
L stared at the psycho girl in disbelief. I'm the stalker?
"Please let me out, I'll even give you a kiss on the cheek if you want!"
Misa couldn't see L's look of disdain seeing how Misa was blindfolded and L was questioning her from his comfy armchair in another room. The detective made a face like he was being forced to whole-grain oatmeal again. "That is not necessary. Misa Amane. Do you know why I'm detaining you here?"
"Because I'm a celebrity obviously!" chirped the blonde.
"You don't think attacking two unarmed men with a knife might have something to do with it?"
"That was self-defense! Some nasty perv was raping my boyfriend!"
L frowned and wordlessly exchanged a glance with Rem. The monster grimaced in embarrassment and discomfort. Kira memories or no it seemed Misa Amane had long ago said 'bye-bye' to reality.
"Are you referring to Light Yagami?"
Misa brightened considerably at the mention of her obsession's name. "Yes! Let me see Light!"
"Who has never met you before"
"What? No! He's my boyfriend!" Misa insisted.
" you attacked him with a butcher knife?"
"No! That's not true! Misa would never hurt Light! It was the nasty perv's doing! Light! Let me see Light! Light!"
L frowned at that. She's not supposed to remember I supposethis is the moment of truth. The test to see just how much Misa remembered "Now Misa Amane, we've met before "
"You really are my stalker, aren't you?" the blonde demanded.
"No Misa. I am not your stalker, though you seem to have mistaken me for one." L turned off the voice filter. "Do you recognize the sound of my voice? Do you know who I am?"
Misa thought about it for a minute, her face appeared to be scrunched up in concentration or constipationit was hard to tell which, seeing as Misa seemed to come from that set of actors who over-act in real lifeas evidenced by the way Misa's whole body jolted in her seat when she had the sudden epiphany. "Oh! MY! GOD! YOU'RE THE PERVERT!"
"I don't think I'm a pervert " L muttered in weak protest.
Well at least it seems she doesn't remember my name. Or no doubt she would be screaming it. Speaking of screaming
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY LIGHT?! LET ME OUT OR I'LL SCREAM!"
L swiftly killed the sound as Misa made good on her threat and marveled how the girl's shrill voice shattered the lens of the monitoring camera. (Luckily there were many backup cameras hidden in the walls that were better protected so the suspect would continue to be monitored in case she tried to falsely claim abuse later.)
"Misa Amane " L began again after Misa had screamed herself hoarse.
Misa whimpered in response. "You're going to rape me too now, aren't you?"
L rolled his eyes. "No Misa, unlike someone I could name I've never forced myself on anyone especially not the mentally challenged "
Reply
"Yes. And even if you were willing and could give consent I don't find you the least bit attractive."
The blonde made a miffed, disbelieving sound as if she found the notion that someone could resist her buxom charms utterly inconceivable. "Whawhy the hell not?!" L mused that if she wasn't tied to a chair she'd be stamping her foot in indignation right about now.
"You're very annoying." L replied. As if to prove that point Misa screamed at him again, this time in rage. "I assure you, I would never want to touch you in the ways you are suggesting."
"That I ? Pervert!"
Was this productive? No. Was it satisfying? Hell yes. The detective never claimed not to be childish.
"Let me see my boyfriend, you stupid pervert!" shrieked the blonde.
"And which boyfriend would that be?"
"You know which one, you pervert!"
"Which one? Just how many boyfriends do you have? And are all of them battered men?" L mused it might just be his civic duty to start support groups for all of Misa's victims.
"JUST LIGHT, YOU PERVERT!"
"Now would this be the Light Yagami that told you 'to go to hell you crazy bitch' when you declared him your boyfriend?"
"SHUT UP! You must have done something to him!" Misa shrieked. "YOU PERVERT!"
"You're really attached to that word, aren't you? Very uncreative. You might want to invest in a thesaurus no, before you ask it's not a kind of dinosaur." L casually informed her. Just then he heard the Shinigami growl again. It seemed that Rem had put up with L's "questioning" long enough.
"Stop it, Lawliet! This is hurting her!"
"Yes, I suppose I've learned what I needed to know." L winced when he didn't kill the sound fast enough and worried that her high-pitched shrieking might have just split his ear drums. After turning off the mike, the detective immediately whirled on the Shinigami, addressing it with a most accusatory tone (and effectively going on the offensive) "You told me she doesn't remember anything!"
Rem seemed taken aback by this effrontery. "She doesn't remember being the Second Kira or any of the murders she committed with the Death Note. However, even though she no longer remembers any of that her feelings still remain. She still loves Light Yagami and she still hates you for coming between them."
"She doesn't love him! She doesn't even know him! No one knows him like I do! I meaner " Crap, did I just say that out loud? It seems Misa's stupidity is catching. L analyzed his own actions and quickly came to the unsettling conclusion that he was jealous. "He's still a mystery to me," the detective finished lamely.
Of course L noticed the Shinigami's flash of amusement at his slip and the triumphant gleam in her eyes. "My offer still stands. Help save Misa and I will help you save him."
Believe it or not L came away from his little talk with Misa relieved.
It's the same. The core of her personality hasn't changedand her feelings haven't changed. Then if we do this then Light should be the same person I've come to knowjust minus being a serial killer. L abruptly turned to the Shinigami. "Alright Rem. I'm ready to bargain, but first what exactly do you mean by "save Misa?""
Rem glared at him as if he was stupid. "I want you to release her! I don't want her to suffer and I want her to lead a happy life."
L sighed. "Rem-sama, the girl is clearly unbalanced even without the notebook. If I just freed her as you want me to in all likelihood she'd resume stalking Light Yagami and when he doesn't return her affections she's likely to kill herself soon afterwards."
"What about Light Yagami?" the creature pressed.
L hid his anxiety by worrying his thumb nail again. "What about him?"
"You're his friend, aren't you? Don't you want him to be happy? Can't you get him and Misa She loves him. Misa can never be happy without him!"
Reply
"When will Misa be released?" Rem demanded.
"I cannot give you a timeline when she will be out. The mental hospital isn't like prison. It's entirely depending on her behavior if she has more or less freedom and it's ultimately up to the doctors when they want to release a patient. I'll monitor the situation closely and I'll do everything in my power to make her happy while she receives treatment. But you should realize no matter what actions I take, she's going to suffer. But this is the only way she'll ever get better. Even without the Death Note to warp her mind she is still very disturbedshe's clearly been traumatized by the death of her parents. Please, Rem-sama, this is her best shot at happinessso let's help each other."
"And Light? Even if they can't be I know it would make her happy to see him."
L sighed. "Provided it isn't harmful to Misa's mental state Light and I will visit herbut that's a big IF. Again it's up to Misa and it's up to the doctors and, most importantly, it's up to Light. She stabbed him, remember? I wouldn't blame him if he's not too keen on visiting her right now. In fact if I were him I'd take a long time to warm up to her after something like that. And even if he does agree, if Misa becomes violent or if our presence negatively impacts her mental state we will discontinue the visits unless the doctors advise otherwise. We probably won't visit often. Again, understand that this is for Misa's sakeshe won't get a chance to recover from her obsession if we keep baiting her with her fixation. Please understand Rem-sama, there are only so many factors that even I can control but I will make you this dealif you can convince Ryuk not to kill Light and that it would be far more entertaining to leave Kira to me then I will make sure that Misa gets the best treatment available."
Rem seemed to consider and concluded that yes, this really was for the bestand the best Misa could for.
"Alright. But I too can't make any promises. Ryuk is very fickle and he wants to be entertained."
Reply
He said something about
"Rem-sama do you think Ryuk might be interested in playing a different game?"
***
With help from Rem and Ryuk L had Wedy retrieved the notebook from Light's bedroom but that was only after a damned close call
"Oi, Ryuk-sama!" L addressed the new monster that was shadowing him in his most mocking, irritating tone of voice. "Why didn't you tell Rem-sama about the exploding desk drawer?"
The Shinigami cackled in responseit was a grating, gutteral sound, reminiscent of a raven that had just alighted on a fresh corpse and was about to pluck its eyes out. "You didn't ask!"
L scowled. Cheeky monster. He must've driven Light insane.
" Provided you leave Light, myself, the Yagami family, the taskforce, all the people in my employ and affiliated with me, the Japanese police, and Misa alone " L didn't want to leave any loopholes. "Better yet, don't kill any humans for the next hundred and fifty years. That ought to cover it. Do this for me and all these apple orchards will be yours to feed from at any time. So, Ryuk-sama, do we have a deal?"
The Shinigami pouted "I don't know. It'll be awfully boring without Light..."
"Ryuk-samahave you ever played video games before?"
L soon discovered that Ryuk did indeed know what video games werethe detective felt a grin tugging at his lips. As morbid as it all was the thought of Light and the monster playing Super Mario Bros. together made for an amusing image.
"What kind of game?" The monster asked excitedly.
The detective gave the monster his cute, earnest smile which he used to convince police officers he was totally trustworthy and most definitely not the creep they perceived him to be. "It's called Everquest."
So L introduced Ryuk to MMORPGs and Ryuk was kept occupied for the next hundred years.
