Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. Do I look like the god of manga to you? I didn't think so. I also don't own the lyrics. They're from I Am Ghost's CD, not mine.

Warning: Spoilers and angst

Note about the lyrics: First they're in Latin, then in english (this part of the song is in a dead language which I highly doubt you're all fluent in)

Requiem

Requiem (Rest)
Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy)
Gratia tua illis succurrente (By the help of Thy grace)
Mereantur evadere judicium (May they be enabled to escape the judgement)
Fac eas de morte transire ad vitam (Grant them be able to pass over from death to life)
Et in memoria aeterna erit (And they shall live in memory everlasting)
Requiem… (Rest…)
-Crossing the River Styx, I Am Ghost

Rain pounded down in heavy droplets, soaking through the pajama-like outfit of white that Near wore daily. His lifeless eyes stayed trained to the two graves. Well, they weren't both graves. One was while the other was more of a memorial. The only two people in the world that commanded his respect both lay lifeless in the earth. Oh cruel irony that he remains alive while everyone else is dead.

He touched a pale hand to the headstone of the real grave. The marble was sculpted into an intricate cross, the name Meehal Keehl was scrawled into the stone. It was on his request that the name Mello be inscribed somewhere on it. The name appeared on the back.

"Mello." Near whispered the name and shook his head. Emotions didn't suit him in the least.

Near turned to the other grave, this being the memorial. The headstone appeared almost like a shield. In the center of which was engraved only the letter L in gothic scrawl, the same that appeared on the screen all those years ago.

How long has it been since then? Since they passed away? More than twenty years, doubtless. Mello was dead. L was dead. Kira was dead.

Once again he shook his head, sending the rain flying from his flattening white tresses. Soundlessly he laid a rose at each grave, both white. With a bow, he walked off. The gates slammed shut behind him as he parted from the mini cemetery.

Maybe someday he'll be buried here, next to Mello in the orphanage's personal grave sites.

Feedback would be nice. I have no clue where Mello and L were buried, nor do I know what their grave's looked like, nor do I know how they were buried. So don't complain. It's called fanfiction for a reason.
