What if he lived?
~a Death Note fanfiction by Alica-Chan~
A day after the solution of the Kira Case
Near sat in his bureau, playing happily with his brand-new model plane. Matsuda had just brought it. Near had sent him to buy the plane for two reasons: First, to get a new toy, and second, to get rid of Matsuda. Matsuda thought that Near's bureau was a good place for him to hang around, but -in Near's opinion- he was really irritating. Now, Near was enjoying his model plane and Matsuda had finally gone.
Gevanni entered the room. "Hey Near", he said, "Having fun?". Near looked up, annoyed. "I thought I told you I was busy", he said. Gevanni shrugged. "I just wanted to tell you about that weirdo that just called. He said he wanted to meet you, and that you knew about it. He wouldn't tell me his name. I asked him, but he just said 'tell him I'm on my way' and then hung up. He said he should be here in 20 minutes. No, less. 15" "Okay, okay, send him in when he arrives", Near said. "Yeah", Gevanni agreed, and left the room.
14 minutes later, the doorbell rang. Gevanni entered again, this time with a guy following him. A rather strange-looking guy. The guy's black hair was messy, and he was wearing a white pullover and blue jeans. "You have to be Near" he said, smiling. Near frowned and looked at the stranger. "Who wants to know that?"
