A.N: I'm back! I really hope you like this, I've been swamped even though it's summer break. I'm starting my very first comic book, and I'm also trying to work out some time to do an original story. But I won't give up on this one! I hope you like it, so sorry if you don't. Please please please review, otherwise I might not be motivated to get it up as early as you would hope. I don't own Death Note, this follows the movies, I only own my bits of the plot, and my OCs. Oh! And A's design, and BB's shinigami design. Enjoy!

The disease spreads quickly, and appears on the skin as red rash-like blisters, almost like oversized acne. F would've died by the disease anyway, though he was terminated in a much more brutal and quick fashion.

I knew that the cases overlapped, and when I wrote down our names in the Death Note, I knew that Watari was being informed of F's passing. And that the future Near was in Thailand, somewhere.

I also was aware that somewhere, Maki, her father, and dr. Kujo would be having lunch. Or something. It was the next case, and I made sure that A told me everything he could about it, down to the last detail.

I watched as L carefully made the preparations for Watari's funeral, and I watched from the doorway as he slowly pulled the fabric over his head. And I was there when Ryuk tried to persuade L to not burn the Death Notes, both but not mine, I hadn't used it and had told L specifically that I would never use it.

I was flattered when he trusted me enough to keep it.

I smiled as I watched and helped L solve his huge stack of cases, in the room that had been specifically for him and Watari. He solved a lot of them. All of them, in fact so much that there was a large number of solved cases in a pile in the room. L was constantly speaking to law enforcement, sometimes even in different languages.

And then, it happened. 'Ring! Ring!' His laptop rung, and he clambered over to the Mac. He opened the computer, and a woman came up on the screen. Like a FaceTime operator.

"Phone call from Chine Mai, it's for Watari." I walked calmly up behind L. "I, L, will take the call." The call went through to where Near was calling.

"F1225! F1225! F1225! F1225! F1225!" L brought his thumb to his lips. "A gift from F... I'll accept the gift." I smirked.

And I soon found myself watching the helicopter that held Near, safely incased in a gurney plastic shell. L and I watched as they did a series of medical tests on the boy, he looked over at us while they were doing them, probably wondering who we were and why we looked like we did. We probably looked like a mess.

I offered him a comforting smile, he may be a genius and as cold and calculating as L often was, but he was still a child with feelings. We spent two days doing tests on him, precious time of L's was spent, and one of those days I had to miss because I was in the shinigami realm with A and B.

"I hope they're treating Near well." I muttered, laying on a bed of bones and cloth. Beyond looked over at me, his glowing red eyes unreadable. "Why do you care so much about that kid anyway?" I sighed.

"I only have a year left in life, B. And I don't plan on getting pregnant just for my child to see me waste away when they're only one years old. Near's as close to a child as I can have." Beyond rolled his eyes, and laid back onto his wings.

"Right. You can't have a kid when you're a shinigami." I shook my head silently, and looked over at A. "That's a bummer. Can you imagine shinigami kids running around? They'd be adorable!" I squeaked, and both shinigami men sighed.

I giggled at their annoyance, and closed my eyes, resting back onto the hard bone bed.

"Well the boy was scared but no physical abnormalities were found." The doctor explained, after the two days.

"Why wasn't he infected with the virus?" The doctor shook his head. "I can't say."

"Unless we find an antidote soon, the virus will be used again. This weapon is too powerful to be contained." L muttered, in a monotone and clear voice.

I frowned at the various wires and tubes going to the small boy's body, I liked Near, a lot. So when he screamed and came running out of the room, and instantly clung to my arm, I was relieved. I pet his head softly.

Near followed me and L down the hall to L and Watari's room, and Near ran into the room. He walked around warily, getting used to his surroundings, and then he ran into the next room in front of him.

He crouched down in the corner of the room, and I smiled at him. "This room was exclusively for Watari and I." L said, trying to make conversation and making a stick of sweets for Near and him. He crouched down in front of the boy, and offered out his hand.

"May I take a look?" He was referring to the necklace F gave him. Near looked down at the necklace, and he put it securely in his little fist. I watched the two boys from the lounge chair in the room. L sighed.

"This is my first time baby sitting." He took a bite of the first sweet. "So far it's not going too well." He continued to chew, letting his enjoyment of the sweet turn into content moans.

Near promptly stood up and ran to the next room, with me and L following him. He ran to a shelf opposite the room, he picked up two food items, and threw them to the ground. I briefly wondered why L and Watari needed so much food, that wasn't sweets or in the kitchen.

Then Near reached for a bag of chips, the same flavor that Light used in the Kira case. What a coincidence. I went over to him, and helped him reach it. When he grabbed it he ran to the floor.

He ripped it open and stuffed some in his mouth desperately. I smiled at him, though was horrified by the thought that they might not have fed him. L and I crouched down next to him, observing him.

L wiped some crumbs off of Near's face, and I smiled softly at L's kind gesture. The two boys stared at each other for a bit, and then Near gave L the necklace F gave him. L opened the necklace, and inside of it was a small computer chip.

Containing information that L and I needed to solve this case.

A.N: I'm sorry if it felt rushed, it felt rushed to me in the movie, so I didn't know how to slow it down. Please please review if you liked it, and I will be motivated to post the next chapter sooner! Thank you for reading!
