Your Children
Chapter 1
Mello's POV
"L is dead".
I wasn't prepared for what Roger had to say, I thought it was going to be another project. When I heard his words, I first didn't believe it, but then…
L is dead.
There would be no mistaking it. Nobody could mishear the phrase "L is dead" for anything else. I realized what it meant right then. L--the L…
I decided I wouldn't break down and cry right there, because L would never cry.
I instead threw an angry fit and grabbed Roger by the collar, "L is dead!? Why, Roger!?", "I'm sorry…but he didn't choose his successor yet, so you and Near will have to work together" Roger said calmly.
I looked at Near from the corner of my eye, I could never work with him. "Roger, you're always putting me second behind Near! Always!!", I felt the tears, "I'm leaving" I said calmly and coldly.
I turned and disappeared out the door, I had lived at Wammy's House long enough.
Near's POV
I had been expecting that, Mello would not have been able to endure the pain L's death brought. I might be able to endure just a little longer then him.
Roger was done with his message, he was going through great pain--the loss of L…and Mello. Would that be too much on Roger, who is well over 60?
I gently picked up my puzzle pieces, placed them in a heaping pile on my puzzle board, picked it up, turned, and walked off quietly.
As I walked out of Roger's office, I sighed, Kira was causing more pain to people than happiness.
As I walked down the hall, on my way to the room where I would always do my puzzle, Matt came down the hall, "Hey, Near! Have you seen Mello?" he asked, casually.
For some reason, I felt a cold sting of sadness when he asked it, I lifted my head slowly and glared at him, "Kya! Near, don't scare me like that!", I ignored him and continued walking down the hall.
I reached the room, sat down in the middle on the plush carpet, and started on my puzzle.
Mello was gone. In past years while I was doing my puzzle Mello would always interrupt me to challenge me at something to see if he could beat me. No Mello, no disturbances.
I continued on my puzzle casually. Then the cold sting hit me again. No, my concentration and thinking ability had been blurred, I had gotten so used to Mello's disturbances that they were required to do my puzzle.
How did my intelligence blur like that? It was Mello. He left, so a part of me left, too. I also noticed that I couldn't do the puzzle anymore, I didn't know which piece went where, my mind and body would slowly deteriorate more and more without Mello.
But I couldn't worry about that, Mello would experience the same thing. He would be sad and confused so he won't be able to notice the void until later on, whereas, a sore loser like him would take much more than a year to figure it out.
But I shouldn't talk about my other half like that. We were one, all of Wammy's kids were one--we would all support each other and trust each other, we would all become L's one successor.
I stood up, I decided I would go apologize to Matt after being so hard on him.
When I came to his room, he wasn't there. I decided I wouldn't look like I was trying too hard so I wrote a note and stuck it onto his Nintendo DS, he was out with his Gameboy Advance SP at the moment.
I heard the little orphans in the choir room singing the alphabet song:
-H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P-
Hmm…that's right, the two M's, Mello and Matt, when Matt finds out about Mello, he'll be more hurt than I because I'm just beside him, Matt is a part of him.
Wait…O. Where was Onigiri right now?
"Near!" I felt a girl hug me from behind, "Daaa Near you're so puni-puni" she said in her hyper baby voice.(Puni-puni "plushy" in Japanese)
I kind of sighed, Onigiri sure was annoying--and she was my age, too.
"Last time when Ms.Kenwood came to visit Wammy's House, she caught you hugging me and you got scolded, aren't you afraid of that happening again?" (Ms.Kenwood Weddy, her real name's Merrie Kenwood).
"It doesn't matter, people can scold me, but that won't keep me away from my Near bear" she said, I found it hard to breathe, wasn't she the bear around here?

YAY!! Done my first chapter of this thing!! I was watching the YouTube video "Death Note Near Won't Tell", it's a Wammy Kids AMV and it's SO sad!! XP So I felt like doing sort of a depressing fanfiction (although I couldn't take the seriousness so I added my OC Onigiri, she's a lot like Mii from Popotan D).
Nobody knows what happened during the time-skip ) And I'm here to change that.
Well, bye!
