Chapter 5-Meeting Mello

He followed them for ten minutes before they ducked into a small clothing store. Mello waited outside. If the young man was L, then he had beaten Near to Kira. L must've known who Kira was, which is why he had supposedly been killed by Kira. After waiting on them for another ten minutes, they came out. The young man was now wearing a brown leather jacket. They stood not too far from him, talking about something. He listened, hoping to catch something that would prove that the young man was L. And he did, it was 'find Near.' To Mello, this was proof that this person was L. A plan then formed in his head. He walked up ahead and ducked into an alley, waiting for them to come by.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you think he's in New York, you just don't know where, do you?" Rin asked him.

"I didn't say I didn't know where he was, I'm just unsure of his location, that's all." They continued walking down the street. Suddenly, L felt cold metal being pressed against the back of his head. He immediately stopped and so did Rin.

"Do not turn around or run away, if you do, I'll blow your brains out with my gun." The voice said. "I want both of you to go into this alley." L stood there, thinking of a way to escape.

"Do as he says, he's not going to hurt us." Rin said. L was a little surprised by her statement. He nodded his head adn the two of them walked into the alley. He could still feel the gun being pressed against his head. After a few minutes, he no longer felt the gun. He turned around and was surprised to see a young man with long blonde hair and that half his face had been scarred.

"Who are you?" He asked the young man.

"Isn't it obvious?" L gave him a blank stare. "I'm Mello."

"Mello?"

"Yes, I'm Mello and you. . . you're L, the original one, I'm sure of it."

"You are correct, but was it really necessary for you to point a gun at my head?"

"At the time and moment, yes. Now tell me, how did you survive Kira? Near and I both know you died, but here you are, standing in font of me, alive and well, how did you do it?"

"If you must know, the truth is, I really did die. The girl you see standing next to me, her name is Rin. She is no ordinary girl, she is an enzeru. She is the one who revived me."

"So enzeru exists? Figures, since I know now that Shinigami exists." L looked at him, startled by his statement. "Yes, Near and I know of the Shinigami, but that is because we know of the notebook of death your investigation team possesed."

"So you know about the notebook of death? Good, I was afraid that if I told you, you would not believe me."

"L, you should know by now that some of the rules are fake."

"I do, of course I didn't realize that until my death, which is also how I found out who Kira is."

"You know who Kira is?! Then, could you tell me so that we can have him captured?"

"Not until you take me to Near."

"Why do you need Near?"

"I need both of you. Capturing Kira will not be easy, he could very easily have us all killed. Take me to Near, and the three, no, make that four if you count Rin; of us should be able to come up with a plan to capture Kira that doesn't involve sacrificing human life."

"I can take you to Near, but I can't work with you."

"Why?"

"Near and I don't get along."

"You do realized that if you try to catch Kira on your own, you're more likely to get killed because your real name is already known."

"How do you know that?"

"Rin told me." Mello stood there, thinking about what L had just said. L was right, he had a higher chance of being killed if he worked alone than he did if he worked with L and Near. Near. He hated working with Near. They could never agree on anything. He didn't want to do it, but there was almost no other way, with L, not only would they have Kira's identity, but they would have evidence, and a plan. If he worked alone, what could he do? There was no other choice.

"I will take you to Near, and I will work with you, Rin, and Near."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boy that sat on the floor in front of him looked a lot like L. The boy had already introduced himself as Near, so he knew that Mello had already contacted Near. Mogi knew he wasn't supposed to say anything., but there was one thing that bothered him. L. He had seen the orignal L, alive and well. He was sure it was him, unless he had been hallucinating.

"Mogi, was there anyone among the HQ that the original L suspected was Kira?" Mogi looked at Near, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't trust Near. "You can say yes or no." Mogi was still silent. "Mello, this agent has already been influenced by Kira to not say anything." Near said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mello picked up his phone and answered it.

"I agree with you Near. He has been influenced by Kira, meaning that Kira is among the NPA. Near, release Mogi, he is of no use to you."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Light sat there, shocked at what he had just heard. Why would Mello want Near to release Mogi? Unless...NO! This can't happen! If L tells Near I'm Kira, everything will be ruined! Shit!!

"Everything okay Light?" Matsuda asked.

"I'm just surprised Mello wants Mogi released and that we saw Ryuzaki on the monitors, that's all."

"I know, that was really creepy, do you think we can get Ide or Aizawa to find him and bring him here?"

"We're in New York, remember? There's no way we can find him."

"Oh, right." Light sat there for a moment, trying to think of a way out of this.

"Why did you bring him here if he is no use to me?" Near asked

"I'll tell you soon. First, let Mogi go and then when he's gone, then I will tell you."

"Fine." He turned and looked at Mogi, who was sitting in a chair. "Mogi, you may leave this place the same way you entered." Mogi looked at him, startled. He then got up and quietly left the building. "Alright Mello, why did you want me to release him?" He said as soon as Mogi was gone.

"You'll see soon." Mello then turned off his phone and looked at L and Rin. "Let's go."
