I was sitting there with a childish grin on my face, watching Near visually examine me from head to toe after Mello's last comment. Even with that fact lingering in the air, pooling tension out of it's skin Near decided to turn away.
My smile only widened as I saw the snowy sheep reach for a set of tarot cards. I watched Near carefully as he placed each card delicately around each other. As Near was officially oblivious to the outside world in this little galaxy bubble of his I was able to fully examine the albino.
Near's brainstorm ended as soon as he scrunched up a single card and let in fly into the air, landing easily in the same position with the Death card facing upwards.
"Gevanni. Please set up a connection to L" Near ordered the other occupant in the room.
"Yes sir" Gevanni recited as he hacked away at the computer.
Once I heard a resounded beep from the computer I could hear the disfigured voice of Light on the other line.
"Yes?" Light asked with an impassive voice.
"L. I thought you should know that we caught Mello but he escaped soon afterwards. We were able to interrogate him for a while" I took this time to gently close the page in the Blue Exorcist vol. 3 I had in my hands and set it on the set next to me.
"He didn't really escape did he? You let him get away, am I right?"
"No. We tried to restrain him but he was too quick. Anyway, Mello mentioned that there was some kind of shinigami attached to the notebook. Have you been able to confirm the existence of such a creature?" Near spoke in a slightly different tone then before.
As Light was answering this question I stood up from my spot and walked over to where Near was sitting, crossing my legs and landing next to the albino.
"I would like to ask the shinigami a few questions" Near looked back down at his tarot cards.
I could hear the ragged, throaty voice of Ryuk over Light's intercom "Forget it, I'm not up for that"
"The thing that's bothering me the most about this is the issue of those rules written in the notebook. I have reason to believe that one of them is fake" Near's theme went off in my head as listened to his words.
"A fake rule?" Light asked innocently.
"Yes... L, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this. Out of all the rules in the notebook which one of them do you think is fake?" I grinned at Light's downfall gleefully.
"By process of elimination the obvious choice would be the one stating that the owner of a notebook will die if they dont write a new name in it every thirteen days, I dont believe that"
Near looked up from his tarot cards and turned directly in front of him. "I thought you might say so, I've reached the same conclusion"
"Shinigami, you know the rules of the notebook well, are any of them false?" As soon as Light slipped up I saw the infamous smile form on Near's features in less then a second.
"You have a shinigami there with you?" I made sure not to loose focus on the conversation and desperately tried ripping my attention off of Near's smile.
Light sounded like he almost didn't want to say anything as he replied with a quiet yes.
"Is that so... I think I'm beginning to get the picture" Near let his arm lean forward with a card in hand as he turned it over on top of the death card. "In other words, Kira is there in the room and he's making the shinigami lie on his behalf"
I resisted my urge to chuckle at the way Near spoke towards the end of the conversation. Like he was gloating his find over Light's head.
After a good minute of discussion on the task force's end Near spoke up. "If there's a problem I suggest we verify the rule this way. I will volunteer to write down Mello's real name in the notebook" I whipped my head around and glared at Near with flaring crimson eyes. I kinda forgot he mentioned to write down Mello's real name.
"Of course that means he'll die, if I also die thirteen days later... well then I guess Kira wins. Either way It's a gamble I'm quite willing to make" I could imagine the task force's confusion at how this whole thing was just a game to him.
"Testing and confirming the thirteen day rule can only benefit the Kira investigation. And other then my possible death there would be no drawbacks. I'm willing to put my life on the line if it will help us solve the case" I felt a strange anger grow in the pit of my stomach as Near said these words.
Light spoke up quickly. "Could you please wait for a moment. We need to discuss your suggestion"
No more then half a second passed after Light clicked off the connection did I start my rant at the annoying little twat.
"What the absolute hell Near!?" I screamed furiously.
Near turned to look at me with a slight spark of confusion in his face. "Akio?"
"Do you really think your death will be taken so lightly!? Don't be in idiot and go tossing your life around like it wouldn't affect anyone else you dumb ass sheep!" The rest of the task force was stunned into silence at my words but Near remained as passive as ever.
"I can see your reasoning. However we both know that if I write down a name in the notebook I wont die in thirteen days" I spared him no time after his comment to wail on him again.
"That's not the fucking point! Kira would win if you die, not to mention there are people here who would miss you!" I growled threateningly.
I saw Near linger on my last sentence with thought before the communication was set up once more.
"Near. We talked it over and we've decided we cant allow to you use the notebook like that" Light lied flawlessly. Right now there isn't anything else he would rather do then kill Near.
Near began twirling a short strand of his hair with his left hand. "I had I feeling you might say so, no matter. Just one last question before I go..."
"...To the members of the Japanese task force, was there ever a point in the investigation where the second L was suspected to be Kira, even if the suspicions were later dropped? If you've been listening to our conversation so far and have any intentions of helping my investigation and taking down Kira, then please call the number I'm about to give you... Day or night, I will answer" Near had practically sealed Light's utter hatred of him with this last few sentences. The thought made me forget about my lingering rage at the small detective for a moment.
"The choice is up to you"
