  Summary

  Ever since you found out your best friend, Misa Amane, is the second Kira, you have been in the shadows, keeping quiet about everything. She tells you her plans to find the first Kira. However, you have a bad gut feeling about what this can entail in the future.
  After she finds out who Kira is, she tells him about you, and Kira insists on meeting up with you in person. You knowing of the Death Note has seemingly put you in an awkward spot in both of the Kiras' plans, and you have no choice but to work alongside them.

  After meeting Kira, he allows you to meet his Shinigami. Well, little did you know that this Shinigami will impact your life for the better.

  TL/DR
  You and Misa are best friends. This takes place in the Death Note story where she broadcasts, and you both go from there. She tells Light you know him, and he lowkey gets mad as hell. Now you are officially a part of his plans, and you meet Ryuk, and y'all have a monster human romance WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!
