As Grandpa and I entered the NPA building I couldn't help but like that smell, the smell of a clean room like when your at the doctor. The receptionist lead us to a room where a group of investigators and agents where conversing.
"Cheif Yagami" A middle aged looking man came over with a small smile.
"Just Soichiro" Grandpa smiled back putting a hand on my shoulder "Matsu, this is my grandson Bin".
The mans eyes met mine as they widened a bit, "Wow" he whispered "You look just like your father".
"Thanks?" I smiled a bit and looked at Grandpa.
"Okay, um...Detective Near should be here shortly. And I apologise for calling you so late last night but he insisted you be here. He said It was important"
Grandpa nodded at Mr. Matsuda just as his phone rang "Hello? Yes? Come right up" Matsuda mumbled into his phone and shoved it back into his pocket "Their here".
I glanced at the door curious to see who this Near was. By what I read in Grandpa's files about the Kira case, detective L was a high end profiler and could solve a case just as quickly as it was handed to him. Aparently this Near character was the same.
The door opened as a older man walked in first and then a younger man who looked to be in his late 20's early 30's entered the room, wearing all white matching his albino colored hair.
"Chief Yagami" he greeted in a soft kind voice.
"Near, its been a while" Grandpa bowed. My eyes stayed on this guy as he walked over to a chair taking a seat.
"I presume you know why I called you here?"
Grandpa shook his head taking a seat next to Near "As you know I'm retired, so if your calling for my help it must be for something very important"
"Well" Near brought a finger to his hair and twirled a piece of hair around it, a nervous tick? "There are two things. First, I'm sure you know its no question that there is a new Kira amung us and has obtained a Death Note. Second" Near pulled out a white looking notebook that looked similar to the Death Note and handed it to Grandpa. "I obtained this" he said in a mater of fact tone.
Grandpa looked over the notebook as I watched, the front of it read Life Note. What did this mean? Was it the oposite of the Death Note? Maybe Ryuk knew something about this, but alone.
Clearing my throat hoping Ryuk would get the hint I looked at Grandpa "I'm gonna go use the bathroom"
He nodded and I turned to leave the room, letting him and the agents and this ….Near have their conversation about Kira and this Life Note.
"Is it true?" I said outloud once out of everyone's hearing range besides Ryuk's. He looked like he was in thought at my question.
"The Life Note is a rare thing to us Shinigami's, the Seimei-no-kam rarely come to the human realm because they aren't as bored in theirs as we are in ours"
Standing in front of a bay window that basically over looked the city I looked at Ryuks reflection in the window "So a Life Note is the same as the Death Note, but oposite in the way it can bring someone back to life instead of killing them"
Ryuk nodded and his met mine, "With the power of the Death Note and the Life Note, not only would I hold everyone's fate in my hands but I could bring back my Dad and Mom as well. The only thing is to get it from Near"
Turning and facing Ryuk I smirked and crossed my arms "You deserve an apple when we get home". With a chuckle he followed me as I headed back into the room where Grandpa was still in conference with Near.
"So this thing is the oposite of what Kira uses, you can bring back people who have passed on?"
Near nodded still twirling the piece of hair around his finger "Thats what the rules say" he glanced over to something standing next to him but nothing was there, I couldn't see it. Perhaps when you touch the Life Note you can see Seimei- no-kam, the God of life.
Apparently they weren't as should I say, hideous as a Shinigami? Seeing when Grandpa touched the Life Note he wasn't phased by the Seimei-no-kam. But none the less, Ryuk was a good pal to have around.
"I wanted to test it" Near added shifting his eyes to me, "I think if it works we could bring back L. I think it would help in bringing down this new Kira"
"I agree" Grandpa nodded setting the book on the table that seperated between him and near, "Though with how cunning Kira was" Grandpa cleared his throat as if the memory of the first Kira, pained him. After all it was my Dad, his son. "This notebook could be just a Death Note in disguise"
"I couldn't agree more" Near nodded and reached out to the table picking up the notebook "But, you would be writing a persons name in here who's already dead. So we really wouldn't be putting anyone's life at risk".
"And if we brought him back it would be two of the greatest detectives together that could catch the new Kira"
Listening in on their conversation Grandpa glanced at me knowing I knew everything, which I did. "Lets do it" he nodded looking back to Near who slowly smiled triumphantly.
No this could go all wrong! I had to get that notebook from Near, but how?
