One hour had passed since Mitsu had left for the formula. Near was now starting to get worried. "That's weird she should be back by now" He thought as he looked down at the sleeping puppy in his arms.

"Strange how I haven't seen Mitsu all day I hope she's alright" Said Rester.

"She said she was gonna get some puppy formula...but that was an hour ago" Near said worriedly.

"Hmm...I hope nothing happened to her...I'd better go look for her" He said.

"I'm coming with you Commander Rester" Near said as he got up holding the pup in his arms.

"Alright" he said as he noded his head.

They searched and searched all around the pet store but couldn't find her anywhere. "Mitsu where are you" Near thought worriedly. He looked down at the sleeping puppy but then heard Commander rester walking out of the petstore.

"The clerk said that she had just came by here to get the formula and some pet supplies an hour ago" He said.

"I tried calling her phone earlier but she never answered" Near said. Just then he looked down and notied that the puppy was awake and sniffing the air. "What's wrong" He asked as he looked at her. She started to growl. She tried to get out of his arms but he wouldn't let her. "Calm down little one" He said.

She finally got out of his grip as he gently laid her on the ground as she ran into a dark alley. They had fallowed her. When they turned out of the dark alley and onto another street Rester saw Mitsu fist fighing a tall man. Her right hand was still sprained so it didn't appear to Near and Rester that she was using it.

Near looked at her worriedly as she faught. "I hope she'll be alright" He thought as he looked back down at the growling puppy. He quickly but gently picked her up holding her like a baby but then he noticed that there was a little girl with a bruise on her cheek hiding in the dark part of the alley watching starring at the man and Mitsu in great fear. "So she's protecting the girl" he thought

After seeing Mitsu's fight the man Ran away. "I'll get you yet ya Bitch" He said as he ran off.

Mitsu looked at him as she panted. "TRY AS YOU MIGHT BUT YOU WON'T WIN" She yelled.

"Thank you miss those big meanies are always trying to cause trubble around town" Said a little girl as she came out of the darkness and ran to her.

"It's no big deal I'm just happy to help in any way I can Are you hurt anywhere little one" Mitsu asked.

"Just on my cheeck but I'm fine but I noticed that you were a little bruised up before the fight are you alright" She said.

"Me yeah I can handle anything...you should run on back to your mother she's probibly worried about you" Mitsu said.

"Thanks Miss for saving me" She said as she bowed then ran off.

"It feels good to help out someone in need every once in awhile...I guess everyone thinks that Kira's just resting or taking a vacation" She said to herself as she picked up the pet store bag filled with small toys, Bowls, and formula.

"Mitsu...I shoulda known you'd be fighting" Near said.

Mitsu jumped as she heard Near's voice. "N-Near H-How long have you and Commander Rester been standing there" She asked as she looked at them.

"The whole time...the pup heard something around here so we fallowed her" Near said as he looked at her. He sighed then looked at her and smiled slightly but worriedly. "What am I gonna do with you Mimi you're being so wreckless and you're always getting hurt when I'm not around" He said. He looked down at the pup again as he heard it bark and wag it's little tail.

"We should get home this pup's probibly starving by now" Said Mitsu as she walked over to them.

When they got back to the headquarters Mitsu put the bottle of water in the michrowave for half a minute then mixed the puppy formula in it. She twisted the bottle's lid on and shook it till the formula was mixed completely.

Near looked at the bottle strangely. "Are you sure the puppy will drink it" he asked.

"Of corse she'll drink it if we give it to her the right way" She said as she Gently grabed the puppy from Near's arms and then gave it the bottle gently holding it firmly in her hand as she held the puppy in the other. "Don't you remember how you fed the kitten...Feeding a puppy is basically the same thing just with a different species" She said.

"Of corse I remember how I fed the kitten...You sure are better at this kind of stuff then I am" he said.

"Like I said before Neenee 'it's good practice'...But the problem is how do we sneak it on the plane when we go home tomarrow" She said.

"Don't worry Mimi We'll figure something out" He said as he smiled slightly. he looked at the puppy as he saw that she was getting tired after she had finished drinking her milk. "So what are you going to name her" He asked.

"I'm not sure...I was thinking you would help me out with that one" She said.

"Me...but I'm not good at this stuff" he said as he looked at her surprisingly.

She turned to him and smiled sweetly. "You will be now that we have her to take care of" She said. He looked at her then smiled back.

"So what are you thinking on naming her" He asked.

"Well I was thinking on naming her either Nikki, Sara, Milou, Sasha, Marina, or Nala" Mitsu said as she looked at him then down at the puppy.

"Hmm...Well Sasha, Marina, and Nala sound like pretty good names" Said Near.

"Ok so Nikki, Sara, and Milou are out but the problem is which of the three names should we give her...Which one do you like best Nate" She said.

"I like...Nala" He said.

She looked at him and smiled then looked down at the puppy. "Then Nala it is then...Nala River" She said sweetly as she looked back at Near.

He walked over and looked at the sleeping puppy as she yoaned. He looked closely at her then smiled and gently pet her head. "Welcome to the family Nala" He said quietly.

Mitsu looked at the clock as it read twelve-o-clock P.M. "It's noon...We still have time to go see my father for a while...Plus you get to see the house where I was born in" She said.

he looked at her and smiled then kissed her cheeck. "I wanna see everything Mitsu...I wanna see where you were born and where you went with your father when you were a child" He said.

"And today you shall" She said as she kissed his lips passionately.

"But you need to spend some alone time with him Mitsu...how about this...After I've seen the house I'll come back here then you can call me when you want to be picked up" He said.

"but I want you to be with me all day" Mitsu said.

"You need to spend some time with your father without me around for a while" he said.

"Are you sure" She asked as she looked at him.

"I'm sure...I'll even babysit Nala while you're gone" He said as he smiled at her.

"No I mean are you sure you'll be alright with me being away from you for most of the afternoon" She asked.

He looked at her and smiled then kissed her lips. "Of corse I will be...just make sure you're home by ten" He said.

She laughed softly. "I will be don't worry...I'll have my cell just in case you need me to come home sooner alright" She said when she broke the kiss.

After spending the whole afternoon with her father. Mitsu headed back to Headquarters. When she opened the door she saw Rester talking on the phone then saw Near on the floor stacking up die while the pup was in his right arm sleeping. "Who's Rester talking to Near" She asked.

"Gevanni...I told him to go back to New York with Lidner ahead of us I told them to call us when they landed at the airport" He replied.

"Gevanni asked the flight attendant if there was a way to bring Nala on the plane since she's just a couple days old and lost her family and so the flight attendant said that just this once they'll bend the rules a little so now it is ok for you to take Nala on the plane" Said Rester as he hung up the phone and looked at Mitsu.

"That was kind of him" Mitsu said as she smiled.

"Who knew that puppysitting would be hard when it's for more then an hour" Near said.

"When she had to go out to do her buisness I had to help him with that" Rester said.

"He'll get used to it after a while...With my help of corse" Said Mitsu as she giggled.

Rester laughed. The next day they flew home to New York. When they landed Gevanni was in a car waiting for them. "Look Near there's Gevanni" Mitsu said.

"I see him" He said. Nala barked happily from his arms. "This is your new home now Nala...Welcome to England" He said as he looked down at her and smiled slightly without rester noticing.

When Gevanni droped them off at the Wammy House Roger was standing by the door. When Mitsu got out of the car she ran to him and gave him a big hug. "We missed you Roger" She said as she hugged him.

"It's so good to see you two again Mitsu and Near" He said. When he saw Near get out of the car with Nala in his arm he frowned.

"Roger I saved Nala from a car accident the other day She has no family and no home so Near an I took her in Is it alright if she stays here with us...I know you said that there's no pets allowed but she's just a baby so just this once can we bend the rules" Mitsu begged as she saw Roger looking at the pup.

Roger saw Near set the pup down as she walked around sniffing the ground. When she walked around Near fallowed her close behind. Mitsu looked at him and smiled. "I guess we can bend the rules a little I'm sure Wammy wouldn't mind...but you have to take real good care of her you two Just like human children puppies need a lot of attention" Roger said.

Mitsu cheered for joy. "We promise Roger I've been Teaching Near how to take care of her when I'm not around" She said.

"Is Mello with you" Rogert asked. Near and Mitsu looked down in sadness.

"He was killed...possibly by Kira" Near said.

"But if he hadn't done what he did then Near wouldnt've figured out the case So I guess you could say that Mello and Near had to work together even when they didn't look like they were" Mitsu said.

"So I see...And Matt" Roger asked.

"Also gone...but their deaths won't be in vain...We won thanks to them" Said Mitsu.

"Did you find out who Kira was" Roger asked.

"Yeah and it was none other then Light Yagami the one L suspected to be Kira all along" Mitsu said as she smiled. She looked around to see if Gevanni was still around but he wasn't. "Come on guys...let's go inside" She said as she headed in the institute.

Roger looked down and noticed the ring on her right hand. "Who gave you the ring Mitsu" He asked.

"I did...It's a promise ring...A promise that we'll be best friends forever No matter what happens" Near said somewhat lying.

Mitsu looked at him and smiled. "Really now...it seems that it's something more then that you two...WAIT Don't tell me...You're finally together as a couple" Roger said as he looked at them suspitiously.

"What do you mean finally Roger" They both said at the same time.

"Everyone knew all along that you two liked eachother Even Mello and Matt did...That's why they never even tried to hurt you...Even when Mello wanted to fight you the day of the Pie fight he never wanted to hurt you cause he knew that if he did then Near wouldn't be happy to see you hurt" He said as he looked at them.

"Got that right if he did hurt her then I would hurt him far worse then he did to her even if i'm not the fighting type" Near said.

Mitsu giggled. "if he did then I would just fight back I'm a fighter you know that" She said as she looked at him.

"Yeah I know" He said as he looked at her and smiled. He gently grabed her hand and held it tightly with Nala in the other hand.

"Such a cute couple" said Roger.

"You think so Roger" Mitsu asked. He looked at them and noded his head.

A year and five months later it was May twenty second. Just a couple of days before Mitsu's nineteenth birthday. She was sitting on her and Near's bed playing one of Matt's old video games on his DS that he had given her for her tenth birthday. Nala who was now a full grown Husky Golden Retreaver mix was laying on the foot of the bed while Near was playing with his toys on the white round rug.

"Why do you play with Matt's video games" He asked.

"You may not've noticed but Matt was the only one becides you that was ever nice to me...but he was only nice to me whenever Mello wasn't around...remember when you and Mello were fighting in the lunch room and when I walked out of the room" She asked.

"Yeah I was starting to worry when I coudln't find you" He said.

"I went to Matt's room cause I knew that I coudln't stop your fight alone so I went to him for help...When I went to his room the door was open and he was playing with his video game. I told him the situation and he said 'Let's see how they do without us stoping their fight this time' that told me that he was getting tired of stopping your fights...I was wondering what he was playing so I walked over to him and looked at what he was playing and when I saw him moving his character and battling the enemies I was so amazed that I wanted to play...All of a sudden he picked me up and set me in his bed becide him so that I can watch the screen more clearly he told me what the game was about and everything and after awhile he let me play when he got to a part where he coudln't pass it...then he was surprised that I helped him pass what he needed to pass on it" She explained.

"I never thought Matt would actually be nice...the only times I saw him was when Mello was around and he would always be so mean to you and I" He said.

"He told me before I left his room that if he was around Mello then I shouldn't take what he says to me seriously...To him I was like a little sister So whenever Mello and you were fighting I was always with Matt and every time I was with him he would play a different game...the game I'm playing now he hadn't beaten it yet so he asked me to help him...He made sure that he had games that I could also play even if some were 'T' Raited...And on my tenth birthday he got a new DS so he gave me his old one that way I can play some of his games" She said.

"I did notice in his eyes that he had some kindness in him but I never knew that he had that much twards you...I think he liked you" Near said.

"Nate please even if he did liked me I would never go out with a guy that smoked...becides he knew that I liked you so he didn't stand a chance" She said. They looked at eachother.

He chuckled. "He probibly would've had a chance cause he knew more about this kind of stuff then I ever did cause he was older then I am" He said.

"But we're the same age...becides I'm with you and that will never change" She said.

He looked at her and smiled. "No...No it won't change...And it never will...We'll always be together forever...No matter what" He thought. he looked down at his toys. "Ever noticed that ever since we've been friends...We've never...not once have we ever faught or gotten into a fight...And even now we've never faught" He said.

"Meaning as in we would yell at eachother...Well there have been times where we've gotten mad at eachother but I don't think it was over that kind of matter...becides why would I even want to fight you" She said.

Just then Nala sat up and looked out the window then started barking. "What's wrong girl" Near said as he climed on the bed and looked out the window where he saw a familier black car pulling up to the Wammy House gate. "Who's he" he asked as he saw a man getting out of the car.

Mitsu looked out and noticed the man getting out of the car. "His face is covered I can't tell Who he is...Maybe it's someone here to adopt one of the kids" She said.

"Hmm...I don't think so Mits" He said. Nala continued to bark. "Nala please be quiet" He said as he gently stroked her soft head. She still continued to bark.

"Nala do as your father says or no more treats for the rest of the day" Mitsu said firmly. Nala stoped barking and laid down between them. "That's my good girl" She said gently.

"He's coming to the House" Near said.

"Come on let's go see who it is" Mitsu said as he gently grabed Near's hand and tugged him. "Come on Nala"

"Are you sure you want to bring her with us I mean what if she jumps on him" Near asked.

"Don't worry she won't unless if it's a guy we know...if it's someone that we don't know then she'll just stay by our side" Mitsu said.

"Alright Whatever you want but I dunno about this" He said worriedly.

When they went out to see who the misterious man was Nala wagged her tail and gently pounced on him making him fall backwards. "I guess it's someone we know" Mitsu said quietly to Near.

The man laughed as Nala licked his face. "Wow Nala You've gotten so big Last time I saw you you were still just a puppy" The man said. When Mitsu saw his face It was Touta Matsuda.

"Father...What are you doing here in England Shouldn't you be with Mogi, Aizawa, Ide, and that other guy" Mitsu said as she gently got Nala off of him then helped him up.

"And miss my only daughter's most important day of the year I wouldn't miss that for the world...even if it is in two days...plus it's the first one I've been to for thirteen years can you believe it...my only daughter's all grown up It seems like only yesterday you, me, and the others were meeting L for the first time" He said as he looked at her.

"Father please you're embarassing me in front of Nate" Mitsu said as she blushed.

Near Chuckled. "It's alright Mitsu...plus to me...It seems that only yesterday you came to live here" Near said.

"Neenee not you too" She whined as she blushed even more.

They both laughed then Nala gently pounced on Touta once again making him fall backwards. "Down girl that tickles" He said as she licked his face again.

"So Who braught you and how long are you gonna stay Father" Mitsu asked as she got Nala off of him once more.

"Sadly only two days and Rester braught me here" Touta said.

"No wonder the car looked familer to me How is Commander Rester doing anyway" Near asked.

"He's fine So are Gevanni and Lidner He just talked to them the other day" He said.

"That's good thank you for letting me know" Near said.

"No problem" Touta said.

TWo says later it was finally Mitsu's birthday. Mitsu wondered around the halls of the Wammy House untill she found the room she was looking for But the room had a high security lock on it that was hardly immposible to unlock. She used her special lock picking skill to unlock the lock. "That lock was a peice of cake but where is everyone" She said as she opened up the door.

When she turned on the light everyone poped out of their hiding spots and yelled. "SURPRISE HAPPY NINETEENTH BIRTHDAY MITSU" Her eyes widened as she gasped. Nala Who was waring a special caller for the occasion barked happily as she gently pounced on her licking her face.

When Mitsu Looked at the white caller it read 'Happy birthday Mother' in gold lettering. "Aww Thanks everyone" She said surprisingly. She looked around and noticed Rester, Lidner, and Gevanni were also here. "Commander Rester Lidner Gevanni You're here too" She said happily as she hugged them.

"Our presence here was a secret mission from Near himself he had ordered us a week ago as well as Matsuda's presence Roger was kind enaugh to pay for his trip here and back to Japan It was all Near's idea" Lidner said.

She looked at Near and smiled. "Thanks Neenee" She said as she kissed his lips passionately.

"Come on It's time to blow out your candles" He said when they broke the kiss. "Lidner baked it" He said as he showed her the cake. After she made a wish and blew out her candles Rester cut the cake, Gevanni passed out the ice when they were done with the cake and Ice cream Mitsu opened up her presents and did party games. that night it was time for everyone to go home. Mitsu said their thanks for them being there.

"It's getting dark we should get ready for bed" Mitsu said. When they headed into their room. Near looked at her.

He went twards his dresser and opened up the top drawer. He braught out a small fuzzy red box. He opened it up reveling a gold ring with a ruby and daimond heart-shaped Ying Yang with a gold band with small but real blue and white crystals all the way around it. The band looked exactly like the promise ring he had given to her the day after putting an end to Kira. "I just hope she likes it" He thought as he closed the small box. He looked at her and smiled.

"I had sooo Much fun today...Thanks for everything Nate" She said as she laid down on the bed. Nala climbed on the bed and laid down by her feet.

"It's not over yet there's still one last gift I need to give you...I was saving this one for when it's just you and me" He said. Nala barked. "Sorry I meant when it was just you, me, And Nala"

"What is it Nate" She asked as she sat up.

Near got down on one knee and opened the box. "Mitsukai...Will you marry me" He asked looking deep into her eyes.

Her eyes widened as she looked at the ring. "Hmm...I'll have to think about it" There was a short pause, but then she shreaked and gently glomped on him making him fall backwards. "YES...Yes Of corse I'll marry you...becides I promised you I would last year right" She said as she hugged him tightly.

He looked at her and smiled then kissed her lips passionately as he put the ring on her left ring finger. "Happy Birthday my Mitsu" He said sweetly.

She looked at her ring and noticed that the band looked just like her promise ring. "Hmm...Something's weird about the blue and white crystals...they look just like...Wait a minute" She said as she examined the band on the ring and the promise ring. "They look exactly the same" She said.

"It's a set of three there's the ring itself then there's the bands that go around it" Near said.

"So...you gave me one of the bands as a promise ring" She said as she took the band off her right ring finger and put it on her left. She looked at him. "So you knew...You knew all along on what my answer would be...This whole time" She said as she smiled sweetly.

"That's right...Though as for your answer I went on what you said to me last year when I asked you Who you would want to marry when you got older and you said me" He exclaimed as he sat on the bed next to her.

"But how did you manage to get a ring this beautiful" she asked.

"I had Mr. Matsuda help me look for one you might like...While you were taking care of some shopping with Gevanni just a few days before we went to the warehouse I contacted Mr. Matsuda and told him about me wanting to marry you and he accepted it So we met up to look for a ring and with Lidner and Rester's help we were able to find one that you would like" He said.

"Oh Nate This is the best birthday present ever" She said as she kissed him passionately.

Two months later it was the Fourth of July. The little kids at the Wammy House were all doing daytime fireworks like Smokebombs, colored spinners, firecrackers, Bumble Bees, and other types with Near, Mitsu, and four other, older kids supervising them. there were twelve little kids and six older kids meaning two little kids for every older kid.

Mitsu was teaching a little boy how to light a parashoot with his newly lit punk. "Here...You light it on the tip of this green peice of rope which is called a whick...but once we light it we have to run a little ways away from it cause if we're in the way when it goes off then we'll get burned and we don't want that do we" She exclaimed. She helped the boy light the whick then ran about ten feet away from it with the little boy close behind.

The parashoot blasted off and started floating down as all the little girls and boys started running after it. "I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT" Yelled a little girl as she ran while starring at the parashoot with her hand out ready to get it. She triped and fell into a bush. She rose her hand out of the top of the bush holding the parashoot in hand. "I'M OK...AND I CAUGHT IT" She said.

Everyone laughed and Cheered. "VERY GOOD MAKA BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT YOU FELL IN A ROSE BUSH" Mitsu yelled back at her.

When she saw Maka get out of the Rose bush she had many many cuts but she looked at her and smiled. "YEAH I'M FINE IT DOESN'T HURT ONE BIT" She lied. She tried not to let any tears form in her eyes.

Mitsu sighed and looked at her. "She reminds me of you in a way" Near said as he snucked up behind her which made her jump.

"You think so Nate" She asked.

"When you were her age You'd always hide whatever injuries you'd get from combat training with Maka's older brother...but I would always know that you were hurt...you always said that you were fine...but I'd always see one injury that was more serious then the others and you were always trying to hide you're tears from me...I'd always get so worried about you...and I still do" He said. He looked at her.

"But now that We're nineteen now you don't need to worry about that stuff anymore...Yeah sure maybe I had to have SOME stiches here and there but I'm alright At least I haven't lost a limb or something cause then that would've been bad" She said just before she walked over to Maka to help tend to her wounds.

He looked at her and sighed. "Why do I get this strange feeling that something bad's gonna happen" He thought.

That night. The older Teens were lighting the fountains with the little kids. Roger came out of the institute, sat in a chair on the porch, and watched the fountains as the little kids would light the fuse.

Near's bad feeling was now starting to feel worse. He looked over at Mitsu, then at the little kids, then at the other teens. He Looked over at Nala who was laying down by Roger's feet on the porch. "Everything seems alright...but why do I get this feeling...Should I tell Mitsu about it" He thought.

"Near...You fell it too huh...That something bad's gonna happen" Said a girl. He looked over and seen a girl with long, curly red hair, and green eyes. "I get the feeling that something's gonna happen to either you or Mitsu...Ever since Mitsu's birthday I've been getting this odd feeling that someone was stalking one of you two I've been looking into it and it turns out that someone is...problem is I don't know which one of you they want or where they're at...So it's best that you and Mitsu keep your guards up from here on" She explained.

"Alright...thanks Amanda I'll let her know as soon as possible" He said.

The time had finally come for them to do the big fireworks. but this time only the older teens had to light them while all the little kids sat on the porch with Roger and Nala. Just then Nala heard something and jerked her head up looking twards the garden and saw a black figure. She started to grawl and dashed down the steps. Mitsu saw this and ran after her.

"Nala What's wrong girl" She asked as she tried to calm her down. just then someone came up behind her and covered her nose and mouth with a cloth with sleeping gas on it which made her fall asleep.

"We got the girl boss but what should we do with the dog" Whispered the black figure so that no one could hear him as he spoke in a walkie talkie.

"Bring them to headquarters but do what you want with the dog when you're here. If it resists...Kill it" Said the boss on the other end.

Nala barked and chased after them but another black figure grabed her with a bag and took her with them. She continued to bark to see if her father could hear her. Sure enaugh...He did. But by the time he got to the garden...It was too late. They had already tooken Mitsu and Nala.

Near Looked around and seen a letter on the ground addressed to him. He opened the letter and began to read it.

"We have taken what's most pretious to you. If you don't do as we tell you then we will kill that which is most pretious to you. You have something we want and we have something you want. So let's make a trade. The Death Note for your girlfriend. Come to the burned down church in Japan with the Death Note in four days or your girlfriend will die. And Come alone. Sencerly The Kidnappers" The letter had said as Near looked at it on a large computer screen at the SPK Headquarters.

"So what should we do Near They'll kill Mitsu if we don't bring them the Death Note" Said Rester.

"They have not just Mitsu...but Nala as well so they will kill both of them if we don't give them the notebook" Near said worriedly.

"We can't do a sneak attack cause they might have cameras around their headquarters" Said Gevanni.

"I'll have to think of something within the four day time limit but We may need the Japanese Taskforce's help when the time comes" Said Near

Two days later they went back to Japan. Near had exaplained to Matsuda what had happened and showed him the letter so he offered to help. "You'll need all the help you can get" He said. They recieved pictures of Mitsu and Nala. Gevanni realized that Nala was in a different room then Mitsu. Nala had a shackle on her left paw traped in a cage in a sunday school classroom. She wore a muzzle over her snout.

When Near had seen the muzzle on her snout and the shackle on her left paw his eyes widened.

The Next day Near had finally made a decision. They were gonna do a sneak attack to save Nala and Mitsu. "No one ties up my girls and gets way with it...We're gonna do a sneak attack tonight. We're gonna find them...and bring them home" Near explained.

"But They want the Death Note for them" Said Lidner.

"I burned the notebook the day we went back to England but they don't know that...but i still kept the replica that Gevanni made" He said.

"What if they have cameras" Asked Aizawa.

"We'll decieve them...make them think that everything's all clear by putting picutes infront of the camera's I've already had gevanni do all the picture taking and they should be developed by now" Near said.

"Problem is how do we put them on without the guard knowing" Asked Matsuda.

"Plus What if there are guards at every entrance" Asked Mogi.

"We'll have to knock them out" Near said.

After descusing what the plan was it was time to put the plan into action. they knocked out all the guards standing in their way as gevanni put all the developed pictures infront of the camera. Lidner snuck into the camera room and knocked out the guard in that. She looked at the moniters to find out which rooms Mitsu and Nala were in. She saw on Moniter eighteen Nala was sleeping in her cage and on moniter four Mitsu was tied up in a chair with cloth around her mouth struggling to brake free but the man who was guarding her kicked her leg.

"Near judging by the moniters you're closer to Nala she should be in the room that has the symbol of a cross with thorns around it on the door" Lidner said through her communicator.

"We've found the room" Near said on the other end. He opened the door and peeked inside. No guards. Nala looked up then wagged her tail happily as he saw her father. He put his finger over his mouth telling her to be quiet as he ran twards the cage. When he got closer to the cage he saw whip markings on her. His eyes widened as he examined her wounds. "Oh Nala what have they done to you" He thought. When he unlocked the cage and unlocked the shackle on her paw then hugged her tightly then unbuckled the muzzle. She licked him. "Come on Nala...let's go find your mother" He said.

"She's in the Sanctuary but there's two guards guarding the door then the boss is with her" Said Lidner through the communicator.

"Got it" He said. When they reached the Sanctuary Rester and Mogi knocked out the two guards guarding the door. They rushed inside.

"Don't move We have you surounded" Said Rester as him and everyone else pointed their guns at him.

"You...Your that man that tried to hurt that girl last year" Near said.

"You came a day earlier then I had expected Mr. River...And yes...I am the man that tried to hurt the girl...untill your pretious girlfriend interfeared" Said the man.

"How does he know my last name" Near thought. "Let her go you bastard" He said.

"give me the notebook then you can have your pretious girlfriend" He said.

"How do you know about the Notebook anyway" Asked Lidner.

"I saw that transaction you did at the Warehouse last year...let's just say I'm a Kira Worshiper that wants to carry on his legacy" He said.

"...let me speak to her...Then you can have the Notebook" Near asked.

"alright...you get Five minutes but the dog stays where it's at" He said as he backed away from Mitsu.

"The dog comes with me She is her loyal daughter" He said. Both Nala and Near walked over to Mitsu. Nala put her paws on Mitsu's lap and licked her cheek.

"Near Nala are you two alright" She said quietly as she kissed him passionately.

"we're fine we came to get you" He said.

"but he wants the Death Note but we burned it I told him that but he doesn't believe me" She said.

"Don't worry I have a plan but what you said is gonna have to be true to him cause instead of the real notebook we braught a more realistic replica Gevanni made" He whispered. After explaining to her what the plan was he showed him the replica notebook. "Here's the Notebook...now set Mitsu free" He said.

After handing him the notebook he whispered something in Mitsu's ear.

"now that I have the killer notebook in my hands I must first test it out now lket's see who's name shall I write in first...AH I know I'll write YOUR NAME MR. NATE RIVER" he said as he started writting Near's real name down in the notebook.

Near just starred at him. "NO Don't write his name down" Mitsu cried. But it was too late near's real name had already been written.

After fourty seconds had gone by Near got a Heart attack and fell to the floor facing Mitsu and Nala. After awhile they heard the man laugh. "FINALLY I HAVE KILLED THE LAST OBSTICAL THAT STOOD IN KIRA'S WAY" He said as he laughed evily.

Mitsu cried as she looked at Near's face. Just then She saw him smile. he looked at her, winked, then liped the words 'Told ya' to her. Then Mogi and Aizawa Charged at him quietly fom behind while Ide handcuffed him. Lidner and Nala untied Mitsu.

"What is the Meaning of this" Said the man.

"I guess you didn't look at the book close enaugh...I had one of my members make yet another replica but this time we made it to look even more realistic then the other replica we had made" Said Near as he got up and brushed himself off. Mitsu wraped her arms around his stumich hugging him tightly. he wraped an arm around her sholder. "Take him away...make sure he never sees the light of day ever again" He said as everyone saw Mogi and Aizawa take the man our of the Sancuary.

Mitsu looked up into Near's eyes and seen dark bags under his eyes. "You've been staying up haven't you" She said.

"I couldn't sleep at all untill I knew that both my girls were safe" He said as he kissed her lips passionately then kissed Nala's nose. After treating Nala's whip wounds at a local vet they were driving on the way to the Japanese taskforce headquarters with the man in a police car close behind.

Near was sleeping on Mitsu's Sholder with his arm around Nala's back as she was saying on the seat with her head and front legs on his lap. Mitsu looked at them and smiled as she wraped her arm around Near's sholders allowing him to lay on her chest. "He's so tired He must've had a rough three days without us" She thought as she hugged him.

A year later they got married then went to a different part of the U.S. for their honeymoon. Nala who obviously went along wagged her tail happily. Three weeks later Mitsu found out something that will give Near a big surprise. She was Pregnant. When Near heard the news he was so excited that he alsmost fainted.

Four Years later on a Saturday afternoon a little girl with white hair with black bangs ran into the master bedroom. "Daddy Mommy wanted me to tell you that Nala had her puppies Where's Simba I wanna tell him" said the little girl happily.

"He's right here becide me Sasha...Where's your bother" said the father.

"outside in the back yard playing" She said.

"Tell Justin that he needs to pick up his toys in the livingroom before your mother trips on one of them" He replied as he stroked Simba's head.

"OK HEY JUSTIN DADDY WANTS YOU TO PICK UP YOUR TOYS IN THE LIVINGROOM" She yelled as she dashed out of the room while a tall woman walked in.

"She's just like you Mimi Always so energetic" He said as she sat down on the bed becide him and kissed his cheeck.

"And Justin's just like you Nate Always playing with toys...but hardly ever puts them away" She replied as she giggled and he chuckled lovingly. "And just so you know...Our first daughter had fourteen puppies" She said as she smiled.

Near looked over at Simba as his head jerked up. He got up and walked out of the master Bedroom and into the Kitchen of the house. "I guess he's happy now that he's a father...And Fourteen puppies wow I guess Nala's gonna be busy plus we're gonna have to make sure that they all have enaugh milk to drink" He said.

"Don't worry Nate Nala and I know just what to do now that she's got that many puppies...And Sasha and Justin aren't the only kids we're gonna have. We might have another pair of twins on the way Who knows...Maybe more" Mitsu said as she looked up at him.

"You mean you're-" He paused. She noded her head. Once again She was pregnant.

"You're gonna be a Daddy all over again" She said as she giggled. He hugged her tightly as he kissed her lips passionately.

"I love you Mitsu...With all my heart" he said when he broke the kiss.

"And I love you too just as much Nate" She said as she laid her head on his chest. And thus this story ends...Or Does it.
