A Second New World

:-:-:-:-:

Summary: 3 years after Kira's unearthment and Light's death, another shinigami gets bored. Remember Shidoh? Well, apparently, he's dropped another death note into the human world and it falls right into...Sayu's hands. In her hands, she seeks not only revenge for her brother, but to start another new world as well.

L, who is Near, starts to get bored with his life. He doesn't make a living nor does he do anthing but play, and he has no interesting cases just yet. Until one day, while working on a huge domino piece, someone whose voice was only too familiar, said, "Nice job playing my part."

Ne? It is interesting? I hope so! : )

Tell me if you like it, k?

My first DN fic.. : )

Chapter 1: Resurrection

:-:-:-:-:-:-:

It was late afternoon. Sayu just got home from work and was walking along the streets of Kantou. She was an accomplished journalist and renowned detective as well. Somehow, she'd been able to become like her brother while being herself at the same time. Which is good, she thought to herself. She was as smart as her late Onii-chan, and she was thankful to Kami that she survived her trauma of the hostage. She graduated top of her class at To Ou Univeersity, just like her brother. She was proud of herself, and she knew that her brother, wherever he was now, was smiling at her success.

She made a turn at the left of the main road. She continued walking until so suddenly, a figure came falling down the sky.

"Hmm? I wonder what that could be..."

She kept walking, never taking her eyes off the object that was still gaining momentum. She kept following its fall until she finally had no choice but to find where it lands. She went to the direction, expecting to see nothing but a hot air balloon, or a piece of luggage from an aircraft, or even, although she shuddered at the thought, a human body. She kept miving forward, turning every now and then, until finally, she reached her destination.

She carefully approached an abandoned park, clearly expecting something horrendous. She could clearly hear her own heart beating in her throat, as she had no idea how it got there. Every step she made stole her of her breaths, as she slowly advanced on a crumpled heap in the parched and yellowing grass.

She was wary, but when she neared the small mass, her eyes widened, not in shock, but in wonder...

"I wonder how it got here..."

L's Headquarters

:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Tick...Tick...Tick...

Were the only sounds heard as Near kept dropping his dice on his table, thinking hard what to do next. He was already able to build a tarot card city, been able to topple down his domino masterpiece, and solved his patternless puzzle at least a thousand times that day.

Man, it sure is boring...

Its been three years since his fateful encounter and defeat of Kira. He could clearly remember in his mind's eye the look that Light had on his face after being revealed. The whole world never got to find out about Kira and the real L's deaths, but the gossips still keep them alive.

"Ne, Kira's just taking a break!"
"But...what if he's dead?"
"Oi, don't talk like that. He's alive, that's for sure."
"I wonder, is the chase still on between L and Kira?"
"If it is, then they're doing an extremely good job hiding it."

And all those other rubbish they talk about.

He was now 18 years old, and although he has matured a lot with his physical and mental state, his love of toys and puzzles never quite abated. Also, he had inherited L's thoughts about solving cases,

"It's a hobby. Not Justice."

Yes, it was his hobby, but sometimes, he gets irritated. The people treat him like he's the only one who could solve puzzles and trivial cases worldwide, and to cap it all off, he gets at least a thousand trivial cases a day. It was irritating.

Beep! Beep!

And speaking of the devil, Near thought. He knew what RIdner was going to say. It was about the US Government asking for help on criminals causing trouble. Sheesh.

"L, we have an emergency call from the US Departments. A criminal has escaped and is causing ruckus at the southern part of Texas," said Ridner, one of his members, from the laptop. He merely shook his head at the news and dully said, "Not interested. They've got the police for that, haven't they? What do they think of us, a backup police squad? trust me, if only I could, I'd squander them for thinking so low and abusing us. What are you even doing, accepting requests like that, ne, Ridner?"

I knew it. I KNEW it.

Silence, and then...

"Gomen ne, Near."

"Nah. Kidding. It's fine with me. Besides, I won't squander them. But I wasn't kidding about the 'not interested' part. I was damn serious about it."

Ridner cleared her throat loudly before asking, "Haven't you got anything to do? A puzzle, perhaps? Or another one of your tarots? Or maybe try the dominoes? Or a big stack of dice?"

Near merely fiddled with his hair again, as he usually does. He sighed and nodded lightly while saying, "I already did all of those you said. If you pan your webcam, you'll clearly see my tarot city, the dominoes I've toppled down already, and I'll show you the 30 boxes of dice I've used AND my puzzle. I'm clearly bored, and no case even interests me. Somehow I wish Kira were back."

"NEAR!" yelled Ridner through the speakers.

"Geesh, Ridner, can't you even take a joke?" as Near rolled his eyes and continued fiddling with his hair.

"I saw that."

"I know. Are you done? Talking, I mean," asked Near.

"Hai."

"Then you're dismissed."

And the laptop turned itself off. Near got up from his previous sitting position and sweot his eyes across the room. He saw his toppled domino and thought of rebuilding it again. The room was already cluttered with all his constructions, but he was still able to wend his way through to the dominoes. As soon as he picked up the first piece of domino, a familiar voice said,

"You're doing well playing my job. It's good they chose you as my successor."

The domino slipped from his grip as he registered the voice. He knew it only too well, and although this was the first time he heard his voice in person, he could still sense his aura. It was him. But..how?
