If you haven't watched the whole series of Death note, then... you probably shouldn't read this, since it's almost pure spoiler.
Disclaimer: UNFORTUNATELY, I don't own Death Note.
Chapter 1: The Finding
Near fiddled with the little piece of fair between his fingers. Looking over all his toys, he sighed deeply. It had been a year since the Death Note was gone, along with Kira. A whole year since he had solved the case. A whole year since Mello and Matt were gone. Still, you'd think Near would be happier and more relaxed now that the commotion had gone down.
But no. Instead, he was bored as hell.
Sure, he had solved plenty more cases afterwards, but all of them had been too easy, almost too dull. He hardly even had to think to solve them. Nothing really pleased him anymore, even his roomful of toys began to bore him. It just wasn't interesting anymore. Nothing out of the ordinary, everything was the same, everything–
Bang.
Startled, Near looked around for what had just hit him on the head. Something must have fallen, but what? Turning around, he saw something on the ground that made his heart nearly stop.
A white booklet, with two words printed on the cover.
Life Note.
All day, he just stared at it. He had a whole building full of toys and cases to solve, yet he couldn't get his eyes off the Life Note.
In reality, he felt a bit stupid. I mean, if there was a Death Note, there must be Life Note. It was almost logical. Almost.
Would it come with a life god, just like the Death Note was originally possessed by a death god? What is really the purpose of a Life Note? Is it as dangerous as the Death Note? All these questions bounced around Near's mind as he stared silently at the notebook. Only one way to find out. Near reached out, and grabbed it.
For a second, nothing happened. He just sat still, holding the book in his hands. Until–
"Hey."
Near spun around, only to come face to face with a creature with big pointy teeth and an over-bite. The creature's eyes looked as if they were about to drown in its eye sockets. Other then those two defects though, the creature was absolutely beautiful. Dressed in white cloth, almost like a Roman emperor, it shone brightly. It's messed up teeth were sparkling white, and its skin a gorgeous shade of blue. It instantly remind Near of a goddess.
"Hello," Near replied casually, as if this did not surprise him at all (which was quite the opposite).
"I see you've found my lovely Note."
"Yes, I have."
"Have you ever used one of these before?"
"Kinda. I've seen a Death Note."
A flicker of anger ran across the beautiful monster's face. But it was quickly replace by a sly smile.
"Death Note, eh? Those are terrible. All they bring is misery, and, well, death. But this wonderful book is brilliant. It brings back happiness and life."
"Brings... back?"
"Yes. But it shall all be explained later. My name is Fuuga, and I am a myou-kami, in other works, a life god."
Near stood silently watching the myou-kami with wide eyes, expecting him to continue.
"Uh... what's your name?" Fuuga asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Near."
"Near? What a strange name. Oh well. I guess I should be explaining the rules of the Note. So, basically, the Life Note is almost like the Death Note. Since you tell me you've already come across a Death Note before, I'm guessing you know the rules more or less?" Fuuga continued after Near nodded, "So, you can write down a name, and then underneath the names of the parents. Like that, you can give life to children. Once you have the Life Note, you basically are the definition of life. If you do not write the name of both parents in 40 seconds, parents will be chosen at random. But, there is one thing that the Life Note can do that the Death Note for sure can't. The Life Note can bring people from the Heavens or Hell back to life."
"You... can bring people back to life?" Near repeated, once again reaching out for the piece of hair he always fiddled with when he was thinking.
"Yes. Bring them back from Heaven or Hell. Resurrect them."
"So.. I can bring back.. Anyone?"
"Yes."
"What if... I wanted to bring someone back from the Nothingness?"
I know, such a short chapter!! Well... I can't really stand at a keyboard for too long with getting bored fast. I have a short attention span. Well... this is also the first Death Note fanfic I've written, and also the first remotely serious fanfic. My other one is insane. Literally. So, please tell me what you think so far! Oh ya, and Matt and Mello coming up!!
