A/N: Well I forgot something important in the last chapter so if you would re-read the description of Anya I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the shortness but it would be too long if I added anything else.

Anya smiled at the Near and said, "Let's go visit the others; they've haven't had company other than the doctors in so long."

Near nodded and stood up waiting for the girl to stand up, but she didn't. Anya must've noticed this because she said, "I can't walk. My legs are paralyzed from a surgery when I was younger, and the doctors were trying to keep me alive longer."

Near didn't react he just walked over to her and asked, "Do I need to get you a wheel chair?"

She smiled and said, "No thank you, I have Ryuk to carry me."

Near felt pity for the girl but knew that wasn't what sick people wanted so he didn't show it when he nodded and headed for the door. He heard Ryuk's foot steps behind him when he was out in the hallway, and when he looked back Anya was gently held in the shinigami's arms. He was confused why Ryuk was holding the child so gently, but that was a question for another time.

When they entered the winged people all looked at them with smiles; but Near was frozen with shock. He heard Anya laugh from behind him but all he noticed after that was the amount of shinigami in the room; there was one for every winded person in the room.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and when he looked back Ryuk laughed, "I guess you didn't expect that there were so many of us."

Near nodded and Anya said, "Well I guess I should've waited till we actually entered the room to let you be able to see the rest of the shinigami. Then you would've seen them slowly one by one. Sorry."

Near replied, "I guess it's okay." He didn't know why he was so shocked. He cleared his throat and then said, "Well what shall we do?"

Anya smiled and responded, "I guess I'll introduce you to everyone."

Near nodded and followed the two while he was given names of all the winged people and their shinigami. He was surprised that most of the shinigami stayed with the winged person that was their child. He was equally shocked when he saw that the shinigami actually liked, even loved, their charges.

"When this is over I have to ask about this", Near thought.

It took who knows how long to actually be able to get through everyone but when they finally did Anya asked, "Near will you be able to come back tomorrow?"

Near replied, "I think I will because I now have to make sure you're all treated well. Now what else do you have planned for me?"

Anya smiled and said, "Well it is late so I guess it would be best if you went home and got some rest. I don't want you to exhaust yourself on my case."

Near nodded and said, "Well then I'll see you again tomorrow."

Anya nodded and she asked, "Ryuk could you lead us to Dr. Smith?"

Ryuk nodded and said, "Follow me Near."

Near did as he was told and then they walked over to the doctor who was checking up on one of the winged people and said, "Oh Near you're still here?"

Near nodded and said, "I'm going to be coming back tomorrow so please make an appointment for me."

Dr. Smith nodded and said, "I'll make sure an appointment is set up, and I hope the rest of your day is satisfactory."

Near nodded and was led by one of the nurses through the group and through the hallways to the doors that led to the main public art of the building. He signed out at the receptionist's desk and then called a cab to take him back to the SPK headquarters.

It wasn't a long ride back but it wasn't that short of one either and Near couldn't wait to get back and start back at his card castle. He had been working on it since the last fake Kira event where a person was killing the elderly.

When he got back Halle was waiting out front for him and he got out of the cab and paid for the service she was next to him with a numerous amount of case files. She then said, "These are all the cases you have today."

Near nodded and took a quick look at all files and said, "None of them interest me."

She nodded and asked, "So how was the company visit?"

"It was more interesting than any other of these cases" Near replied.

Halle looked at him and asked, "How so?"

"I'll explain when I get back to my cards," he replied and she nodded.

Once Near navigated his way through the intricate buildings of cards. When he found a good spot he said, "Have you ever heard of any case of Shinigami having children?"

"No," she said with her eyes widening, "I didn't even think it was possible."

"Well it is and that company has those children with their parents in a restricted area" Near said in a monotone.

"Well that is interesting isn't it?" she replied.

Near nodded and then stated, "And that's not even the most interesting part. There's a teen girl there who is apparently the will of L and Kira, and when she dies we'll need to find new jobs."

Halle asked, "What'll happen?"

"When she dies no more criminals will exist in this world and the ones existing now will die" Near stated as he placed a card on top of the stack.

Halle said shocked, "How is that possible?"

"I don't know but it is so and I'll be going back tomorrow." Near stated with a yawn; it was strange he was tired at all.

Halle was still shocked so she didn't reply and then Stephan and Anthony and Near looked up and told them what he told Halle. They were nearly as shocked as she was but Halle, hearing it the second time was less so. She saw the Near was drowsy and said, "I think it's time you went to bed Near."

Near nodded and said, "Well good night all." And he wove his way out of the city of cards and then headed to his room. He then walked to his room and when he got there he fell onto his bed and fell asleep.
