-Chapter 4 : Enjoyment-
Meanwhile, in a hotel room from the human world...
"Lidner, could you get me the file on the Denson's case?"
"Right away, Near..."
"And while you're at it, stop by the Police Department and retrieve the evidence from the last case."
"Understood. I'll be back as soon as I can."
Near was now 24 years old and was still one of the greatest detectives of all time. But his abilities were never required too much since the Kira case. Within these years most of his team's members have quit, leaving only Lidner on Near's side.
January the 28th. Precisely twelve years since Kira's death. Near stood alone in one of the hotel rooms he used as a headquarters. Despite his age, he still played with his old toys. He was reconstructing a crime scene from his latest case when he noticed two pieces of paper, took them and threw them in the trash can. Then he resumed his work. About 10 minutes later he heard an ambulance passing by. Or so he thought. Actually it was pulling over right in front of the hotel entrance. Near approached the window, opened it, looked down and didn't believe what he was seeing. Three doctors were carrying Lidner's dead body on a stretcher. He would've hurried downstairs but he couldn't risk revealing his face to the public. So he went to his computer and tried to contact the hospital but suddenly all his computers shut down by themselves and there was nothing he could do to turn them back on. He thought it might be a power failure but all of the other utilities were working perfectly, except for the phone.
He then sat down on the sofa and started thinking about what could've happened to Lidner.
"It's a heart attack, Near..."
The sudden voice scared him off the sofa and he was now lying on the floor, facing up and right in front of him sat a nostalgic yet terrifying figure.
"...Why are you back...Ryuk?"
"I thought I'd drop by and say hello. So...Hello!"
"Saying hello by killing Lidner?"
"Huh? That wasn't me..."
"It was me, Near!"
An even more terrifying figure was now standing on a couch besides Near's desk.
"Y-...Yagami Light?!? B-...but you're dead!"
"Dead? Death gods can't die Near, you should know that better than anyone."
"But you're not-...are you?"
"I am now. And it's time for me to return to my fellow humans. Now that I gained immortality no one can stop me from ruling over my future utopia."
"You were just a murderer when you were alive! And you haven't changed since..."
"I feel sorry for you Near. You really don't understand what is best for the future of mankind."
"I'll stop you no matter what. There's always a way."
"What? I can't hear you clearly. Anyway, I don't have time to spare. I have to go. See you later."
"He, he..."
Light and Ryuk both fled out the window leaving Near alone once again. But as they were getting farther and farther away from the hotel, a booming sound came from Near's window. The entire room was blown up along with him. But none of the two turned around to see what was happening. They continued to fly away from the hotel, Ryuk experiencing a burst of enjoyment and Light with an evil grin on his face...
