"There really is no need for such alarm. We're not going to die." Near told the others for practically the third time.

"But...Near, how could you be so sure?" Matsuda exclaimed, fear obviously getting the better of him.

"Matsuda, calm down. If Near says so, it must be true." Aizawa placed his hand on Matsuda's shoulder in a comforting gesture.

There was silence and the tension in the air was overpowering. Near glanced at Light, who had one of the most defiant countenances he had ever seen.

"You out there...have you finished writing the names?" Light called out and a snickering was evident through the crack in the steel door.

"Mikami...Teru. Please enter." Near commanded, his gaze never leaving Light's face. Defiance wasn't the expression of an innocent man.

Then, rather swiftly, the steel door separating Teru and those who have dedicated themselves to finding Kira creaked open. There stood a deranged man. Teru Mikami, usually composed, took on the menacing silhouette of a man. His eyes were glowing, amusement was clearly written on his face. He took a few steps forward.

Kami!

"Near..." Light chuckled softly. Matsuda put his hands over his head as if to block out their inevitable outcome. The three on Near's side tensed and gritted their teeth, ready to follow any direct orders.

"Teru Mikami, right? How long has it been since you've written down the first name?" Light took on a frown and stared at him through calm eyes.

The long haired man looked down at his watch. Near's eyes widened.

"Where is...his notebook?" Near asked loudly. A slow smirk found it's way on Light's face.

"Hey, why is he...wearing two watches?" Aizawa wondered out-loud, confusion twisting at his features.

"Near..." Light began once more.
"Did you really think...that we were that stupid?"

A member of the SPK dropped to the ground in agony, grabbing at his chest. The shocked expression on Near's face was unmistakable.

"Stephan...Don't fool around like that!" The man closest to Near exclaimed.

"Don't you see...Near? One of the watches is my own. And since I've found the notebook, I've ALWAYS..." Light broke into a fit of laughter.

"I've always..." He began again, placing a hand to his head as if to steady himself.

"Kept a piece of the death note in a hidden compartment!" He finished the sentence.

"Light-kun! Why would you have a-" Aizawa stopped as another SPK member, Anthony Carter, gasped, then grimaced.

"No..." he breathed as he fell to his knees, clutching a fist to his chest. It wasn't long before his lifeless body hit the ground.

"Light...don't tell me..." Aizawa pleaded.
"Don't tell me you're really KIRA!" He finished.

"How did you...how could have you-" Near raced towards Light in desperation. Then he stopped in his tracks and placed his hand to his chest. He gasped.

"LIGHT!" Matsuda suddenly turned fully towards the accused Kira. Light turned toward the three men behind him slowly. His smirk in place.

"Light Yagami. Kira." Near's faint voice drifted towards the remaining trio. Then he fell to the ground, just like the others have, cold and lifeless. Slowly, but surely, his eyes closed. And Near was no more.

"That's right...I'm Kira!" Light's bangs has obsecured his vision once more and he looked down around his as all the remaining detectives fell to the ground.

"But...Light, w- what did your father die for?" Matsuda managed before the life was taken from him. Light stopped abruptly.

"My father..." he repeated looking down at the now-dead investigators.

There was a long pause, but, of course, Teru had to interject.

"God! I did just as you instructed!" Teru was looking gleefully at the dead.

"Those who have opposed god...have been eliminated!" He glanced at Light in expectation.

"Yes, indeed Teru...Mikami. You have done a good job." Light exhaled slowly.

Everything went just as planned. End.

A/N: I lol'ed when I typed up the last line. I don't know about you guys...C:

"Are Anthony and Stephan the real names of the SPK?"
Yes. There were four SPK members in the warehouse during the last episode of Death Noteand their names were Anthony Carter, Stephan Loud and Halle Bullook (Yes Bullook), along with Near of course. And before you ask, Nate River is his real name. As if you didn't know that.

"What was so special about Light's watch?"
I know I'll get this question as ridiculous as it may sound to some of you. Light keeps a secret compartment in his watch where he has a piece of the real death note. Always. Just in case. To be on the safe side. "Better be safe then sorry." right? So Light gave Teru the afore mentioned watch because he figured out that Near replaced the real death note with a fake. Teru then saw the names of the police force and SPK and wrote them down on the piece located in Light's watch. And they all died. D: Once a piece of the death note, always a piece of the death note. A page torn out from a death note is as good and efficient as one not torn from one.

Vocabulary Test:

Countenance - a facial expression
(ex. "He tried to act happy, but his sad countenance betrayed him.")

Kami - simply means "God" in Japanese.
Teru Mikami always referred to Light as "God", or "Kami".
