A/N: I have finally decided to write a Fanfic focusing on Near and Mello- something I have wanted to do for a while now. The prologue simply has the part of setting the stage since this is an AU Fanfic and the world portrayed is original. Now without further ado, I hope you enjoy the Fanfic.
Prologue
Near sighed and leaned back into his chair while picking up a cluster of white locks from the back of his head and twirling them with his fingers.
He looked back at the repetitive text he had been reading throughout the biased history books. The only concrete information he could recognize as fact and not opinion was that thirty years ago L fell and, with him, his justice was forced down into an unmarked grave. After L's diminish, different organizations had tried to obtain the ultimate power of rewriting the world under their own laws. A single law-enforcement has not yet been achieved ergo leaving the world in a state of constant war and tension.
Near straightened his back while standing up. He scowled at the uselessness of the book and picked it up with the purpose of returning it back to its place on the shelf. He decided to leave his research for another day hoping next time it wouldn't be as fruitless.
Currently the competition of obtaining ultimate power was between Kira, the Mafia and the UN- the order highlights the group with most to least followers. So far, Near had found that Kira's justice was most comparable to L's. Both believed in judging people based on what was morally wrong- rape, murder, terrorist acts etc. Though, where L punished the culprits based on their crimes, Kira simply sentenced them to death. An abstract way of thinking about it is that L tried to make perfect people while Kira tries to make a perfect world.
Near took his leisured time walking across the large white library looking for the shelf that housed the inept book.
Where both Kira and L were looking out for people's benefit, the Mafia and UN simply wanted to become a super power that used the law to their own benefit. This does not go to say that Kira and L did not have ulterior motives. Kira wished to become God. Near was not completely sure of L's ulterior motive though he was sure he had one; L was human after all and a system under the rule of humans is inevitably corrupt.
Near brushed his fingers on the history books in the isle. All these books gave him a similar frustration to the one he got after reading the book he currently held loosely in his other hand.
Currently, all the different law systems held secret facilities. These facilities served purposes such as training people into becoming 'perfect' citizens, brainwashing people, training people to fight their competitors and planning different methods of succeeding against their competitors in becoming the world's single law system. These facilities were all hidden from the public eye in order to prevent invasions from rebellion groups and the other law systems.
Near found the slot that perfectly fit the book. He reluctantly placed the book into its rightful place ergo completing the puzzle perfectly painted by Kira.
Kira and L's justices held the most comparisons, making Kira's justice most likely to fall that is if the world truly followed the theory of history repeating itself. Near held no intention of bettering Kira's justice and preventing its downfall when the time came, his intentions were less pure; he hoped to take advantage of Kira's downfall.
Near walked out of Kira's white library and into halls that shared the same theme.
A/N: If the prologue has not made it already obvious, there will be no death note in this fanfic. I have found that most DN Fanfics with a death note result in sharing the same plot. What do you think of the setting I've created? Constructive criticism in the form of a review would be great.
