Oh snap, and now here is where we bring the introductions to a close and start up the actual story! Read and Review!
Chapter Five: The Wammy Children
M squared was his nickname, how there ended up being two M's in the Wammy house even confused Roger, the owner…but it was acceptable.
M squared was Matt, though his true name was Mail Jeevas, he was a year younger than the true M, Mello, or his name Miheal. The two were best friends, since forever, ever since Mello was in the orphanage and when Matt entered, Matt knew that they would become the best of friends and remain so for a long time.
Of course they were both opposites though, Matt came into the world with loving parents that told him straight forward that they could not raise enough money to care for him, and he accepted going to the orphanage…while Mello, on the other hand, never knew his parents, and when he was forced to enter, he was the first male to ever want to get out. Mello was sent to the orphanage before Matt, and while Mello was there, he heard rumors of a new boy coming in. Back then Mello was first, and soon after Matt was already up in Second place to becoming the next L. Mello worked hard always, while Matt fooled about and played more videogames than studying for their classes. Matt introduced Mello to the fun side of life, and though Mello didn't really ever join him in game playing, he did enjoy watching Matt play and it did make him smile… The two were best friends since then, and not even a year later was when Matt gave him his first kiss.
Of course, Mello today doesn't consider it a real one, since back then they had no idea what they were doing, but Matt considers it so.
Then everything changed when another new boy appeared.
Mello was 12, while Matt had just turned 11…a 10 year old boy soon came into the orphanage known as N, or Near…or Nate River.
Mello and Matt introduced themselves, but Near was hesitant before actually speaking to them. From his appearance, he was shy…he acted so, and he looked so. The male entered the Wammy house with all white clothing, and as he spent more time there, he changed from actual clothes to simple white pajama's all day every day. He avoided other people around him, and though Matt would try to hang out with him, Near preferred simply playing with a puzzle and toys in a corner than communicating with anyone else. After a while, Mello and Matt gave up and preferred him to leave them alone as well, the weird boy wouldn't bug them atleast…
Then the new rankings were posted.
Near was first, Mello was shoved to second and Matt was still in third. Matt looked at his rating, shrugged and smiled before wandering off with game in hand. Near looked at his ranking, looked at Mello for a moment before lowering his head and wandering off to play with his toys in his room. Mello stood and stared…
The boy was tricking him into thinking he was nothing but a shy, lonely boy who felt nothing…but now he knew, Near was a trickster, and he was now his rival.
This continued for a long time, until Mello was 16 and decided it was time for him to leave. Roger asked why, and Mello answered simply stating that he was never able to surpass the emotionless boy, and if he still couldn't after so many years, he was a simple failure and will succeed in his own way outside of the orphanage. Roger could not protest, and Mello was soon gone…leaving Near and Matt behind.
Near seemed unfazed, though he suddenly lost interest really quickly with certain toys and such and would end up wandering about, and sometimes Matt caught him gazing into Mello's old room, which was now empty. When Matt was finally 17, he had enough… sure he had plenty friends, but no one was his best friend like Mello, and he followed the male to the outside world.
Near was now completely alone…he had no competition. He was first while no one was in second, third, or even fourth…Near was empty, he had blocked out emotion since he was taught it was a weakness by his old parents, but he truly did show an emotion that day, the only one that an emotionless wreck could express when alone, and that was pure sadness.
Near sat alone, ate alone, slept alone, not even his toys that used to help could help him…but that was where he remained…and instead of following like Matt, he remained at the orphanage…for a long time…
And now, we'll go to the current date…it was the day where they all suddenly were bound by destiny. L, Light, Misa, B, Matt, Mello, and Near…though they were all apart in a way, they were all soon bound together to create a world famous band…known as Death Note.
