Riddles {a Death Note MelloXOC and NearXOC story}

God's Wrath

Outside of Misa's door, she dropped her phone and bent down to pick it up. She could hear someone talking to Misa, but she didn't take much notice of it. It was probably Misa's boyfriend. Maybe now May would finally get to meet him.

"Well, no matter how you look at it," May heard a man's voice say, "it's not Mello." May froze, and her eyes widened. "In four years, he couldn't change that much."

Mello? she thought. She listened intently to what they said to each other.

"But I'm pretty sure this guy's close to Mello," the man said.

"Eh? What do you mean?" Misa asked. "Didn't you say the owner was Mello?"

"I gave up ownership of the book, and Tōsan relinquished it to the criminals. In other words, the man whom Tōsan gave it to became the owner. But he was killed when the helicopter exploded, so then ownership would pass on to those who picked it up from the wreckage.
"Suppose they are eventually eliminated, and so forth. The book would continue to change owners until it was someone in Mello's circle. For that reason, we can assume this man has used the book, or he's at least kept it safe for the one who's using it.
"Plus, the mere fact that he's still alive must mean that he's close to the ringleader: Mello. All couriers have been killed without hesitation, after all.
"The pictures I gave you, Misa, are from an FBI database on people involved in organized crime. If we find this guy, we're sure to find the notebook."

What the heck is he talking about? May wondered. No, it don't matter. If this is our Mello, then I just need to keep listening.

"Misa," the man said, "thank you. In your eyes lies the hope for our New World."

"Oh, Light!" she said.

"Great!" the man—Light—said. "First, I need to learn all the mafias this guy works for. I'll go back to headquarters and investigate."

"Eh?" Misa exclaimed.

May, hearing footsteps, jumped out of the way and stood next to another room a couple of doors down, with her cell phone to her ear, pretending she had heard nothing.

Light stepped out of the room and glanced at her for a moment, pondering if she was significant or not. He then walked away in a different direction.

Although she doubted she'd find out anything more than what she had heard, she put her ear to the door of Misa's room.

"Stop laughing, Ryuk!" she heard Misa say, even though the room was completely quiet. "You can be really mean, you know that?"

Silence.

"No, I'm sure Light will succeed in the end. He promised me that he and I will be the god and goddess of the New World. Isn't that romantic?"

Silence was her response.

"Wow, I've got it made. I'm famous, have the best boyfriend in the world, and on top of that, he's Kira!"

May's eyes widened. She doubted it at first; it was probably Misa just being her typical, odd self. But she was a Kira supporter. Not to mention, she and Light had been talking about Mello, who was most likely involved in his own investigation on the Kira case at that very moment.

May was angry, upset, and confused. Mostly upset. Had her dear friend turned out not to be who she'd thought she was? Still, she forced herself to keep listening in the hope that Misa would reveal more.

"What do you mean, 'What am I doing?'" Misa asked the so called, "Ryuk." "I'm calling someone; what else would I be doing? Geez, Ryuk, you can be really—Ooh, wait! It's dialing!"
