Disclaimer: If I owned Death Note, Near would not exist.
A/N: Hmm... Many people actually made it to the second drabble if the number of hits is anything to go by, more than I actually expected. So thanks for reading! Leaving a review would also be appreciated though :p Thank you to the two who kindly left their comments :D
III. Entertainment
Near – or rather N, that's the name he's known with now - is in the middle of discussing a case with the police, when his eyes widen and he clutches his chest and falls to the floor. It's exactly three years (down to the last second) when Yagami Light, or Kira died.
The concerned agents mill around unable to believe their eyes. L's successor has just died of a heart attack, in the manner of Kira victims.
Panic ensues, and Ryuuk watches them as suspicion and distrust break the fold, and a new Kira is searched for. He grins as his gaze falls on the last name he's scratched out on his notebook.
It was a matter of logic. Ryuuk figured that with Light being dead and all, it didn't matter if he did away with Near. Anyway, he had a bone to pick with the little twerp. He had effectively taken away the only amusing thing Ryuuk had seen for years. Truth was he missed Light. But if Light wasn't there, the next best thing was for Ryuuk to create his own amusement.
He sits back and watches the show, dedicating his victims to Light's memory. After all, it was Light who made Ryuuk realise how much fun could actually be had from the damned death note.
You know you want to leave a comment. :p
