Give-and-Take (chapter)

 Give-and-Take is the fifth chapter of Volume six and 48th chapter overall.

Plot
Rem is standing behind Yotsuba group member, Kyosuke Higuchi, the current Death Note owner. Misa is disgusted because he remembers that he hit on her repeatedly at the party.

Back at headquarters, Light is worrying about Misa’s safety. Soichiro is willing to go on TV and tell everyone what the Yotsuba group is doing, hoping that it will prevent the killings. L insists that arresting the Yotsuba group will let Kira escape that he waits a month before taking any action.

Misa returns safely from the Yotsuba group, and L and Light tell her that she is to do the commercial only as an actress and not an investigator. Misa agrees to obey.

The next day, Misa and Mogi, who is now acting as her new manager, stop by the To-Oh Women’s Medical University Hospital so that Misa can quickly use the bathroom before she goes home. In the bathroom, she meets a friend who is working as a nurse. She had previously told her friend that she is planning to go on a date, but because she was a celebrity, it was hard for her to get any privacy. Nori exchanges outfits with her and agrees to be Misa for a while.

Misa, in a nurse’s outfit and a fake wig, escapes from Mogi and meets with Higuchi who is taking her out on a date. Mogi realizes that Misa got away and calls the investigation team. Light tries to call her, but Misa’s phone is off.

Rem, who is also in the car, is confused as to why Misa is going on a date with Higuchi and if it’s part of Light’s plan. Misa then tells Higuchi that she is the second Kira. She tells Higuchi that it is her dream to one day marry the real Kira. However, she will only reveal her power to the real Kira. Higuchi teases her saying that he might be Kira and dares Misa to prove that she is the second Kira. Higuchi tells her to kill a corrupt loan shark, and he will call his office to see if he has died. Misa turns around and pretends to write something. Rem realizes what she is doing and uses her Death Note to kill the loan shark. Forty seconds later, Higuchi calls up the loan shark, and his subordinates confirm that he has just collapsed.

Higuchi, then, proclaims that he is indeed Kira and that she should marry him. Misa tells him to prove it by not killing people for a while and then starting again when she tells him to.

Afterwards, Misa comes back to headquarters to show the team the evidence she compiled. She had recorded part of the conversation with her cell phone.
