It had been New Years at Wammy's house when the first note and present arrived on Near's bed. The note had said," This reminded me of you." It had been signed 'Secret.' Attatched to the note was a poorly wrapped present. He pealed back the dark green wrapping paper that had probably been left-over from Christmas. Inside was a plush, white sheep with two black bead eyes. He hadn't slept without it since.

Others had come: some candy,some puzzles and other toys, sometimes only a note or a poem. One came everyday without fail. In the beginning Near didn't read much into it. Later he had tried to catch whoever it was. At one point he left his door open the whole day to see if this 'Secret' person would come. That time some girl had dropped of a letter saying that she had found it on the floor and thought that he had dropped it. Whoever 'Secret' was she was definitely smart. He had concluded it was a girl. The hand writing looked like a girls and one of the poems he had received was sented. Over time he had just excepted it as a normal part of his day. On January 31, he received a letter stating that if he didn't solve who 'Secret' was by Valentines Day they would stop sending him things because it was not meant to be.

That's when Near decided to figure out who she was and if he wanted to be with her. If not then he would just leave a note in her room telling her that he was sorry he didn't feel the same way. Now the only problem was, who was it?

--- Day One ---

Near gathered all the gifts and letters together and sorted them into piles: poems, notes, toys, and jewelry, yes jewelry. Near had gotten a charm link bracelet, some charms, and a necklace with the letter "N." That was pretty much it. Looking at all the things he had received he concluded that suspect 'S' had help. Clearly S couldn't have done all of this on their own. Also upon closer analysis of the hand-writen letters most were different. One thing he noticed was that Secret was always writen the same way, this was clue one. The notes had very little writen on them. Most were attached to presents, so only the reason for the gift was given. This might give some insight into the person's reasoning. The sented note might be a key piece of evidence, after all she had to sent it with something.

The poems were another inside look at S's mind. They usually rhymed. The puzzels didn't really give him much of a clue. The puzzels were either hard or long in length. One had small pieces. All that showed was that the person either knew his taste relatively well or they had the same interests. The toys were most likely picked out at random so they weren't much help either.

" I'll start with the sented note." He sniffed the note, it smelled like vanella. He tried to think of who smelled like vanella. Hazy, Hazy always smelled like vanella. It seemed a little too obvious, but maybe she had just gotten careless one day. Quickly thinking up some questions, Near set off to see if Hazy was 'S.'

Hazy was sitting at a table with her friends. Near recognized them. They were acquaintances of his, but they were more Mello's friends than anyone elses. The leader of the group of girls was E. She kept them all together. If anyone knew how Mello worked it was her. She acted almost exactly like him.

Hazy was across from E. She had her back turned to him. Her black hair hung loose and short. She has dark tan skin and brown eyes, and she kind of lacked common sense. B was talking with her. E noticed him first.

" Hi Near."

" Hello E."

A chorus of hellos came from the table of girls. After saying hello to everyone it was down to questioning the suspect. " Hazy, I have a few questions I would like to ask you. Would you come with me please?" " Um, okay." Hazy got up and followed him out of the room.

" It has begun." E whispered.

Once Near was sure he was out of earshot from everyone he began his interrogation. " Hazy, you always smell like vanella correct?"

" Yeah, I own a bunch of vanella body mist. E said the sent suited me."

" So that would mean that your belongings would most-likely smell like vanella, correct?"

" I suppose so. I wouldn't know though. I'm too use to what I smell like."

" You're very good in english class. How well did you do on the poetry assignments?"

" Horrible, especially the rhyming ones about ourselves. I got a C- on it, and it's hardly even about me."

" Really? Do you like poetry?"

" Sure. I mean it's okay, just not for me to write it."

" Alright, thank you."

" Is that all?"

" Yes." With that Near left a blinking Hazel in the hallway as he made his way back to his room. When he opened the door he saw his new present carefully placed on his bed. He picked up the little black box and pulled off the lid. There were three links attached to each other: one had 'good luck' in english under the Japanese character, the middle was a four leaf clover, and the third was a rainbow heart.

" Obviously she wants me to find her." It's a logical conclusion because of the two good luck charms. The heart was most likely to symbolize the last day of the investigation, February 14, Valentines Day. So if 'S' really did want to be found then he would be receiving more clues to help him discover her identity. All he had to do was wait. 'S' would leave a critical clue and he would solve the case. Satisfied with his plan of action, Near got out a puzzle and began the task of putting it back together.

--- Day Two ---

Near started his day out just like all the others. A present arrived like all the other days, but there was no clue, just a blank puzzle. It was exactly like his white one, only black.

---Day Three ---

It was around noon. Near had just finished his new, black puzzle that he received just before he went to sleep with his sheep when an envelope was slid under his door. Near stood and walked over to the door to receive his latest clue. The black envelope had his name in silver. He carefully opened it and took out the letter that was written on unusual paper. The paper had fireworks exploding in the background in pail red, green, blue, purple, and yellow. The writing was done in black ink like most of the other letters. It was a rhyming poem that basicly told Near to hurry his ass up.

Letter:

Are you waiting to see who I am?

Well that just won't do, my little lamb.

You can go ahead and wait,

Just be carefull or you'll be to late.

Don't miss the date.

Only eleven more days,

I swear to you this is not a phase.

Alright, I'll play by your rules,

I'll send you some more clues.

In fact it could be kind of fun,

Here's your new clue,' I like to run.'

S

" There she goes again, calling me a lamb." Near didn't really mind but still, a boy being called a lamb wasn't really normal. The three lines that rhymed were most likely suppose to stand out more. Waiting was mentioned more than once, and if they're willing to give him more clues then they must want him to succeed before the due date. S said more clues, so that meant that she had, infact, sent him clues before so he should look through his presents again. He was about to gather all his evidence again when he heard a knock on his door. Near opened it and was surprised to be greated by Mello.

" Hey Near, what's with these chocolates?"

" What?"

Mello pointed to the little heart shaped box he was holding. " They were outside of your door."

Near blinked a few times before taking the box and inspecting it. Only when he looked the box over for the third time, making sure that he didn't miss anything on the outside, did he notice that Mello was watching him closely. Paying no attention to him he opened the box and eyed the candy suspiciously.

" They're not going to jump out and attach you," Mello said in what would best be describe as an anoid tone.

" I know. Did you see who left them here?"

" No one was here but me, you're lucky too."

" Why do you say that?"

" Someone else might have just taken them."

After Near had fully inspected the box and found a silver 'S' on the card that tells you what the chocolates are filled with, he put the lid back on and handed it to Mello. " You can have them."

" Why what's wrong with them?"

" Nothing that I know of."

" Then why give them to me?"

" You love chocolate don't you?"

" Yeah so?"

" So you can have them."

Mello eyed the box suspiciously, then took off the lid and inspected the contence. " What's with the S?" Near shrugged. " So there's nothing wrong with them?"

" Not to my knowledge, no."

" Would anyone send you tainted candy?"

" Only you."

The blonde glared at that last comment. " Fine then I'll take them."

" Okay."

Mello turned and walked away. " Thanx he yelled over his shoulder as he popped a coconut filled chocolate in his mouth. Near walked back inside and shut the door. " Now to gather the evidence."

E:

So will Near figure out who S is? Will Mello get sick from the chocolate? Do my friends/sisters and I have anything to do with this story?

Wait and see in the next chapters of The Case Near Couldn't Solve. That is if anyone cares nudge nudge Review:3
