My Name..? (OC X Near)

My Name...?

"11...," I heard Beyond Birthday say. My eyes widened as I spotted him in the back, hiding behind the couch the whole time.

"N-Near..," I said, trembling. I couldn't see him anymore. He was gone. My eyes widened as sweat beaded on my forehead. Beyond Birthday got closer as he looked at me in the eye, standing like L.

Blood was on his face. It seemed like, someone else's. "Your friend...seems to be gone.."

His head.

My eyes widened in a gasp. I prayed to God that hopefully this was a dream. Even if it were a dream, how come it felt so real? I could feel my tears fall down my cheeks.

"11. Your next," he said and tossed the head aside. I gulped, knowing that there was something he was going to do. I was going to have a severed head. Just like Near.

"Before I do this. Your name is-" he cut me off as I couldn't hear anything. However, his lips were moving. I could see that he was saying my name. I get a sharp pain on my neck as a warm, red liquid spilled out.

***

I woke up, breathing heavily and put my hand on my neck to check if I was okay. I was fine. I had a blanket wrapped around me as I was laying down on the couch. Near sat next to me, with tarot cards on the table.

"I'm guessing that you're nightmare was about Beyond Birthday," he said as I nodded. He picked up a tarot card that held a person in a psycho killer mask.

"And by any chance, did you figure out your real name?" Near asked, putting down that tarot card and held another one, with writing on it. I shook my head sadly.

"I don't read lips," I replied. Near tossed that one aside and picked up the next one.

"That reminds me..," Near said as he handed me another piece of paper. The same writing as my mother and father. "It's a list of names, that they planned to give you."

I held the paper in my hand. I could be able to find out my real name with this. I saw that it was only girls, since they figured out they would have a girl. It only had five names

Amber
Alexandria
Alice
Alison
Anastasia

My eyes widened in shock. The second one was underlined. This is what they were planning on naming me. Which means, 11 was a hint to my real name. Two As. Two ones.

"It's nice knowing you, Anastasia. It's a beautiful name, as I say so myself," Near said with the childish grin on his face. Tears of joy landed on the paper as I smiled and put the paper aside. I wrapped my arms around Near, hugging him. His eyes popped open, his cheeks a faint pink.

"Thank you...thank you so much...Near..," I said with my voice cracking. I buried my face in his chest as I continued to cry. He sighed and ran his fingers through my hair gently.

"I'm glad, too," Near said. He picked up another tarot card where the person had a thousand knives stabbed into them.

"Misa Amane had already knew your name, it was just unclear to her sight, since her Shinigami eyes began to weaken, along with her life span. She knew that was your name but decided to fake it, incase you betrayed her. Even if she ever wrote your name down, she can't kill you since it isn't official. At least now, she can't kill you," Near said. I sighed in relief as I continued to wrap my arms around him.

"Thank you so much, Near. How can I repay you? Saving my life, twice or maybe a lot of times. And now this," I said. I heard a light chuckle escape his mouth.

"Just being here, alive with me, is the best thing you could do for me right now," Near said. I smiled and closed my eyes, hopefully drifting off into a good sleep. Even though I wasn't able to sleep, I heard Halle, Rester, Gevanni, and the Task Force come inside, shocked.

"Oooooh! Hahaha Near, you! I knew you would-" Matsuda, the IDIOT, came inside and was slapped in the face by Aizawa.

"MATSUDA!" They all yelled in unison. Matsuda nervously laughed and backed away slowly.

I quickly back away myself from near and hid my redness from the blanket. "I-I thought he was a pillow...or something..," I said. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at who it is. I relaxed to see that it was just Halle.

"I can tell that you don't mean it. Us girls can tell when we're lying or not, 11," Halle said with a warm smile as I nodded, returning the smile back. I could hear Rester snicker behind her.

"Jeez, Lidner. You've been acting like her mother ever since the day you saved her from that thug on the streets," Rester said.

"O-Of course not! I would react the same way to any man or woman on the streets. Especially when they're already associated with Near," Halle said. I giggled and looked up at her.

"Girls can tell when we're lying," I said and smiled. Her eyes widened in shock. She sighed and gave up.

"I don't know, but I'm just that way. I see someone in trouble, I have them to suddenly care of them. And...for orphans that, too. To prevent someone from dying. Like someone I used to know..," Halle said.

Rester began to laugh. "I didn't know that girl's could be this sensitive," he said. Halle shook her head and crossed her arms.

"Well, Rester, I was the organizer of the SPK, for your information. Also, possibly the reason why your wife divorced you," Halle said and crossed her arms.

"You take that back!" Rester exclaimed.

"No thank you," Halle said, facing the other direction.

As I saw the two argue, it almost looked like a brother and sister, constantly arguing. I smiled at the thought, that we could be normal again. Misa Amane would finally be caught. We could relax, none of us would die. Hopefully, all of this Kira nonsense would be over. All the SPK could return home back to their families.
