Only a few days went by. No one had quite gotten used to L being back yet since he'd been gone for so long after BB kidnapped him, but slowly things seemed to be going back to normal.

But what was considered normal anyway?

And what about Kira?

L saw him. He looked just like Light. There must've been some way he could find out what Kira's real name was, and Near, Matt and Mello insisted on staying until they caught Kira, so they had extra help.

And Light noticed that Misa hadn't been around in a while and suddenly he found himself wondering if something happened to her.

He had yet to break up with her for starters, and also he wondered if she knew something about Kira, judging by their last conversation.

He knew she had something to tell him.

What was it…?

Light gave out a sigh, staring at the computer in the dark, L by his side. The others had gone to bed and, as usual, they were the only ones still awake.

Light looked over at L. "Ryuzaki?"

L hummed in response, "What is it, Light-kun?"

"Did you want to head to bed?"

L thought about it and then nodded. "Alright."

They shut off the computers and went up to their shared bedroom, changing and then getting into bed. Light kissed the detective, sliding between his legs and pressing them close together.

"I love you," Light mumbled into the kiss, not giving L any time to respond as he deepened it.

Misa sat in her dimmed room, writing everything she needed down. She couldn't let this go on for much longer, or things would get even more out of hand. There was only a small amount of time before Kira would find out L was alive, and Misa would be done for. She had to do this now. There was no other choice.

Firstly, she had to tell them about the Death Note. After she was done with all of this, there would still be that mystery of Kira, and how he killed people. There would be worry that a new Kira would arise after the current ones were gone. The police wouldn't have to worry much if they could just lock away the Death Note.

Misa had it figured out. She knew what she had to do.

She'd do it as soon as possible.

She was going to betray Kira.

Rem watched her write, but didn't read the words on the page of the Death Note, or on the other piece of paper Misa had. The shinigami wondered what Misa planned to do, but she did not ask her. She did not want to know right now.

When Misa was done, she closed the notebook and relaxed in her chair, looking tired. Rem wondered what was on her mind.

She did not want anything bad to happen to Misa. She – dare she think it – loved her, and deeply cared about her. She'd do anything for her.

Misa looked at Rem, giving the shinigami a small smile, reaching for her hand.

The following day, Misa calmly walked to the task force HQ, Death Note in her purse and Rem by her side.

"Misa, what are you planning?" Rem finally decided to ask, although she feared the answer.

"Don't worry, Rem," Misa told the shinigami, smiling, but her smile was fake. "I know what I'm doing."

Rem didn't have such a good feeling about any of this.

Misa walked towards the doors, spotting Matsuda sitting on a bench, drinking coffee.

When he saw her, he blushed. "Misa-Misa!" He exclaimed, standing quickly. "I haven't seen you in a while. What brings you here?"

"Hi, Matsu," she said quietly, which Matsuda noticed was unlike her. He felt concerned now.

"Are you okay?" He asked, eyes full of genuine worry for the girl he loved. Her eyes no longer held light. They were empty.

Something was not right here.

"I'm okay," she lied, her fake smile returning.

He didn't press the issue, however he didn't believe her. "I'll walk you inside," he said, but she didn't move.

"Wait a moment," she whispered, and he stopped, waiting for her to speak. "There's something that needs to be done before it's too late."

He was about to question her, but he didn't have a chance when she kissed him. He was shocked, of course, but he kissed her back while he had the chance.

When she pulled away, Matsuda saw her wiping away her tears. "Why… why are you crying, Misa-Misa?"

"I'm sorry," she said, but what she was apologizing for was not crying. It was not for her behavior. It was for what she planned to do. "Just know that no matter what happens from here on out, I do love you."

That was not a lie. She did feel love for him in her heart, but it was too late.

"You… you love me?"

"Yes, but for now, we should go inside."

"Oh, o- of course."

They went inside after that, and Misa waited a moment before speaking. "Everyone, I need your attention right at the moment."

They all looked at her, wondering what she was going to say.

"I have a confession to make," she uttered, opening her purse. She had to do this. Now. There was no other choice.

Light felt his heart pounding. Surely, what he thought before… wasn't true… was it?

Misa took a deep breath. "I'm… I'm the second Kira, and I know the identities of the other two Kiras, and I have proof."

Everyone looked at her with shock on their faces. Was she lying? They didn't know, but they couldn't ignore this.

Light, however, didn't doubt what she said for a moment.

"Misa-Misa," Matsuda whispered, sadly, not believing that a girl like her could really be one of the Kiras.

Misa pulled the Death Note from her purse. "This is the Death Note. The human whose name is written in this note shall die. The standard cause of death is a heart attack, but you may write any cause of death and any time. The original owner is a shinigami, and if you touch the notebook, you will see him or her. I will prove to you that this really works, by killing the third Kira, Teru Mikami."

She opened the book, scribbling Mikami's name down before showing them what she'd written. She then called Mikami's phone number, putting the phone on speaker.

"Mikami?"

"What is it, Misa?"

She started talking while she waited for him to die. When he did die, she hung up, not missing the shock on the task force members' faces. "Do you believe me now? If not, I will kill anyone you suggest to prove it. As it is, the first Kira actually did kill L, and as he knows, I revived him."

They all stared at her in shock. "You're the second Kira?" L asked, like Light, not doubting her for a minute, and for Light, everything had started to make sense. He knew there was something up when L claimed he "faked his death" and Misa was acting strange. "You're the one who brought me back from the dead?"

She gave a nod. "And now the third Kira is dead, and the original might as well be. I'm going to set him up to die soon, by selling him out."

"Why are you telling us this?" L asked, eyeing Misa suspiciously. "What is your ulterior motive?"

"I have none. I simply want this to end. Things have gotten out of hand, and it's time for Kira to disappear."

"You know we'll have to arrest you if this is true," Soichiro said, his hand on his gun, just in case.

"I understand, but that isn't necessary. Just make sure you lock the Death Note away after this is over, so Kira may never come back."

"What are you talking about?" Light questioned. "And who is the first Kira?"

Misa turned away for a moment. "You'll find out," she whispered, running off up the stairs. They chased her, but couldn't get to her in time.

They all arrived on the roof, to see Misa standing at the edge. They approached her carefully, and waited.

Misa dialed Kira's number on her phone. When he answered, she smiled.

"Kira… forgive me."

"Misa… what are you talking about?"

"You were my savior. I owed my life to you for bringing justice to the one who killed my parents, but I can't let things go on the way they have been. I've had a change of heart. However, I killed Mikami, and I brought L back to life. He's no longer dead."

"You did what…?"

"I know you've been planning to kill me for some time now, to get rid of me. I'm not an idiot. So I decided to write down your name in my Death Note. You, too, are going to die very soon."

It was a lie, but it was just what she needed to say to shake him to his core and get him to become paranoid.

"Y- You did what?!"

"Goodbye, Kira. This is the end."

She shut her phone and tossed it behind her, along with the Death Note.

"Misa, what are you doing?!" Rem asked, worried. "You're going to get yourself killed!"

Misa smiled again, but this time, her smile was real. "I know," she whispered, and Rem gasped slightly, wondering what the hell Misa was thinking.

Misa then turned, looking at everyone behind her. "Goodbye, Light, L, Matsu, and everyone else." She then lowered her voice. "Goodbye, Rem."

She was smiling, and yet tears were streaming down her face.

And then…

Misa jumped to her death.

—

A day later, after Misa's body had been taken off and they planned a funeral, the task force members looked through the pages of the Death Note. They found where L's name had been written and erased, and they found Mikami's name, but they found something else as well.

One of the last pages that had been written on had read:

'Misa Amane

Cause of death: Suicide

Tomorrow, at 5:30pm, after telling the task force about the Death Note and writing a name, Misa will go to the rooftop, make a phone call, say her final goodbyes, and jump to her death.'

"So, she wrote her own name down in the notebook," L murmured, and Rem nodded.

"She must have, but she was bluffing. Kira's name is nowhere to be found in here."

"It's not?" Near asked, and Rem once again nodded. "Could you tell us his name, so that we can catch him, once and for all?"

"I cannot. It's hard to explain. Just go through the book and perhaps you'll find it."

"I suppose we could also track the phone the girl called him on," Mello said, sighing. "This is such a pain in the ass."

Flipping through some more of the pages, they found a page that should not be there, as it was not the same type of paper.

The only thing written on it was a name.

'Taro Kagami.'

"What is this, Ryuzaki?" Light asked, standing beside L.

"I'm assuming it's Kira's real name," L replied, and they all could do nothing but stare at the page and wonder what to do next.

If the chapter seems rather rushed, it's because i was trying to hurry so I could update it.

I would have updated sooner, since the first part of the fic had been waiting for about a month now, but I got this game persona 5 and wanted to play it, then I got really sick for a week and then I got hit with writer's block. In any case, I'm good now, I think.

Light and Dark is almost over, with about 2-3 chapters left to go. And to be honest, if it wasn't important to the storyline, I wouldn't have killed misa because i like her in this fic (surprisingly) but I had to.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and I'm sorry to make you guys wait. I am so happy that all of you seem to really like this fic and i thank you for sticking with me despite the fact I'm terrible at updating. I love you guys c: ♡
