(Chapter 3: Danger is Near…)
*Near POV*
I sat on my chair. I had said that I found a way to to find Kira…But I really don't. With no leads and Mello gone…I'll never find Kira. He obviously knows all of L's tricks so I can't use those…He could be anyone…Of course! Light had to give the notebook to people for them to have that power. Meaning, he still has to be in Japan. And to tell what city, I'll just look at the area where the most deaths are happening. That will be my key to finding Kira.
*Ichigo POV*
Kira was right next to me. And I knew it. The most deadly man in the world was eating breakfast with me. That's like drinking tea with Aizen. I knew his name now. I just had to use the Death Note. Nevrmor must have read my thoughts.
"You gonna kill him now, or later?" He asked. I ignored him for now. But was half my life span really worth it? I assume it is. Better than the whole life spans of everyone in my family. I finished eating and went towards my room. Just then Rukia came in and turned me around to listen.
"Ichigo, come on. There's been a massive increase in the amount of Hollows lately." She said. I nodded and ran upstairs. I put Kon in my body, told him to stay out of trouble, and grabbed the notebook. I left with Rukia as we came to the spot where the sightings were. I swear, there was 1000+ freaking hollows! Rukia said there was a lot…But what the hell? I pull out Zangetsu and start slicing. I have a feeling it's gonna be awhile before I kill Light. I slash two more hollows in half. Rukia freezes a few more and they shatter along with the ice.
*Light POV*
I wonder where Ichigo went. And who the hell Ryuk was talking to. But, I won't ask considering what he did for me…
*Flashback(This is still Light's POV)*
I lay on my back, multiple gun shots through my body. Ryuk flies in front of me.
"We made a deal. Your name is going in my Death Note." He said.
"NO! I promise, if you let me live and take me somewhere for me to be patched up…Things will stay interesting for you! You wouldn't want to be bored in that dying Shinigami realm would you?" I asked, begging for my life. Ryuk laughed.
"I guess…Any request on people to die before you pass out."
"Matsuda…And the others…Except for Near. I want to kill him myself…" I say and then pass out from the loss of blood. Ryuk carries me to the Kurosaki clinic and knocks on the door. Then he leaves to go do something that I wasn't aware of. In any case, the requested people died of heart attacks.
*Flashback end(Still Light POV)*
I take out the Death Note and continue to write names. It was saturday, so I didn't have school. All the time I needed to kill criminals. I wrote down the names of a few more criminals and then stopped. I put the Death Note away and left the house. Ryuk followed close behind.
"Where ya goin' Light?" He asked.
"I'm going…Home, Ryuk. Home." I say with a quick glance towards him. He laughs. I continue to walk until I get to my old town and head dow to the main Kira investegation building. Sure enough, the ID reader still accepted my ID. I walked in and saw the big L on the screen. I smiled.
"It's time…L. Near will die, and so will any hopes you had for him. I hear several guns loading behind me. I turn around and see FBI agents and Near. I laugh at the sight of them and walk up to Near. None of the FBI agents fire, which is a good sign. Suddenly Ichigo appears behind Near. This, is all according to plan. Near and Ichigo finding me at similar times. Quickly I snatch Ichigo's Death Note and see his horrific Shinigami. And I thought Ryuk was scary.
"Give it back!" He screamed. I laughed.
"Then Kill Near. And everyone else here." I replied. He nodded slowly and I tossed him his Death Note back. He pulled out a pen and began to write. He jumped around, barely dodging the bullets being fired at him while still writing. He's pretty good. I was starting to get creeped out by the fact that Ichigo's Shinigami only has one eye. But I'll deal with it for now. Near and the others dropped dead and Ichigo looked up at me. I knew he was going to try something.
Near is dead! But don't worry…Someone will replace him…
Next time: "Nevermore"!
