Across town, Near heard a knock on the window. He looked up, "Hmm..?"

He saw a small boy with pale slate hair. "Can I come in?" He asked.

Near frowned and stood up, going over to the window. "Who are you?"

"A friend. Can I please come in?" The boy replied.

Near tilted his head slightly, suspicious of the boy. "I don't know you. How are you my friend?"

"It matters not, we have met before. I know everything about you, Nate River, and your friend Mail Jeevas as well." He smirked slightly.

Near's eyes widened a little in shock, them he narrows them. "How do you..?"

"It's simple. I am a friend. I have changed my appearance from before, but I still know you. It is quite simple to retain memories if you try hard enough. "

Near frowned, "It doesn't matter. Even if I wanted to let you in, Mello took the key with him. The windows are all locked shut."

"Oh? Then shall we continue as we are? This is very important for me and my friends."

Near nodded, "If we must. I'm curious as to who your "friends" are. And I want to know your name."

"Juno Siles. Now, I have proven I know everything about you and Mail. But one thing I, nor my friends, can fathom is how a Shinigami is attached to you both yet neither of you own a Death Note. Can you please explain that to me?"

Near clenched his fists and shook his head, "That is none of your business, Juno. Why do you care?"

"Because with out someone owning a Death Note from his possesion, Miheal will most likely die."

Near looked down, turning away. "No he won't."

"That is what she told me. I am not entirely sure seeing as I, myself, am not a Shinigami."

"His Death Note IS in someone's possession. Now, who is "she"?"

"K, the one who controlled Calikarcha against you, the SPK, and Mail." Juno smirked slightly.

Near took a step back, "K..?" He shook his head to clear it and looks back at Juno, mumbling to himself, "I doubt he took the spare key... Tell me Juno. What will happen if I let you in?"

"Nothing. I have no orders to harm you or anyone else I may encounter here nor on my return to our base." He stated simply.

"Take me with you." Near said with finality.

"I...Do not have orders to do that. Nor shall I have a enraged Shinigami coming after you and trying to kill us." Juno hestitated slightly.

"I don't care if you have orders. Do it anyway."

"...Fine. But you will inform the Shinigami you are leaving and not to come after you before we leave. I promise no harm will come your way and I will return you safely back here whenever you wish to return."

"Fine." Near turned away and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He called Mello. "Mihael?"

Mello was sitting in the car, his phone on speaker. "Yes?"

"I'm leaving. I'm going with Juno Siles, alright? Don't come after me. I promise I will return unharmed later."

Mello sighed, "Alright... I'll be in the apartment... Can I at least know why you are going or are you gonna keep that a secret from me?"

"I'll keep that to myself for now. I love you." He hung up and got the key on the top of the windowframe before unlocking the window. "So where is your base, Juno?"

"...I am not allowed to tell anyone the location. I hope you won't mind if I blindfold you, will you?" He asked carefully.

Near sighed, "If you must."

Juno blindfolded Near before picking him up and starting away. "I am sorry, Mr. River. But it only a precaution, With what happened with the Shinigami K does not wish for her base to be exposed..."

"I understand. But you don't have to call me mister. Near is fine."

"O-ok..." Juno blushed. After a while, Juno sat Near on his feet. "We have arrived, Near. Why is it you have wished to come?"

"I want to see K." He straightened up and reached behind his head to untie the blindfold. "Mello seemed scared when he came home earlier. I want to know why."

"Ok..." Juno began to walk through the dimly lit building, "Please, follow me."

Near took off the blindfold before following Juno. "Alright."

They soon come to a large metal door, which Juno opened and walked inside. "K, Nate River has arrived to speak with you..."

Near walked through the door and stood beside Juno, "Hello, K."

Near saw a brunnette girl sitting in a chair, her eyes narrowed, "What is it, sheep? Has Mello sent you to fight his battles for him?"

Near frowned and reached up to twirl his hair, "No need for childish name calling, K. And no. I came to talk to you myself."

"Then what do you want? I have much to do, I cannot spend my entire day talking to a child."

Near rolled his eyes, "You consider me a child? And yet it was me that succeeded in surpassing L, was it not?" He smirked. "I want to know why Mello seems terrified when I last saw him."

"I have no idea." She said, sarcasm laced her voice. she smirked at Near. "Maybe Calikarcha could tell you that much. Though I'm sure if he really cared, your Shinigami would have told you himself."

"Just tell me. I'm not in the mood for childish sarcasm."

"Fine. I had Juno befriend Matt and give him and Gevanni a shooter game. I then told Mello that my friends from here were at the SPK and had taken Matt. They were to kill everyone in the SPK before killing you and Matt."

"And why would you do that?" He said in a monotone.

"An eye for an eye." She stated simply.

"Meaning what, exactly? What did he ever do to you, K?"

"He took two of the most important people in my life. I decided as tribute, I'd take two of his."

"I see. Did you actually plan to kill Matt and myself?"

"Yes. Just not when I told him. I wanted to torture him, to see him squirm like an insect."

Near's eyes widened a little before he could make his face go blank, "So.. you still intend to kill us? May I ask when?"

"That is not something I'd easily tell the lover of the Shinigami who would try to kill me for it." She smirked, "Sorry, but you'd better spend as much time with Mail and Mihael as you can. in the end...Either Mihael kills himself or you and Mail die."

Near glared at her and took a step forward, "I will not let that happen. He is NOT going to kill himself because of you."

"He tried before he called you and Matt from my phone. Were it not for for Calikarcha, he would have blown a hole in his face."

Near clenched his fists angrily, "I take it that was your fault." He twirled his hair again and looked down. "As it is... I would gladly risk you killing me if it ensured Mihael's life would continue..."

"Oh? How long do you expect him to continue before finding a way to kill himself? Even then...He'd never see you. Shinigami just cease to exist when they die." Her face was completely blank.

"I possess his notebook, K. I will simply pass it on to someone else. As long as the person I give it to is alive, he will be as well."

"...I did not expect that...But what of Matt?" She was slightly shocked that Near owned a Death Note.

"I'm sure Matt will be fine. I think Mello is with him right now. I can make sure he stays with him."

Her eyes narrowed again, "No, that is ok...I won't kill you here. Nor today. Jack and Rod deserve to see him fight a little longer. I've clipped his wings, it's only a matter of time before he will ultimately undo himself..." She smirked, a bit a playfulness in her voice.

"Don't come near him. Don't hurt him in any way, K. I mean it. I won't let you have your way." Near said with determination.

"I won't. But sooner or later, Mihael will be his own demise. Juno, make sure the sheep is not harmed on his return."

"That won't happen. And if it does... You can be sure I will avenge him, if I am still alive." Near said, glaring at K.

"You can try. Goodbye, Nate River." K smirked as Juno started out.

Near glared at K for a moment longer before following Juno out. "Goodbye, K."

Juno retied the blindfold and picked Near up again, "Have you accoplished what you set out to do?"

Near sighed and let Juno pick him up. "I suppose so. For now, at least."

Juno started away from the base. "If I may ask...Why did you tell K that?"

"Tell K what, exactly?"

"That she could kill you as long as it ensured Mello's life? She's only going to use it against him and you..." Juno said, sympathy in his voice.

"As long as she knows that I am prepared, I don't care what she does with the information. I don't plan on letting Mello know what I'm planning to do."

"Planning to do? May I know what that is?"

Near shook his head, "No. It's for me to know."
