Authoress Note: Wow guys we’re getting close to the top 10 in reviews. Haha. Well I’m glad you guys like Origins. I have a pretty decent amount of love and care for Nemo. I’m not going to lie, but Nemo happens to be one of my favorite characters. I kind of like her a little more than Keegan, but Nemo’s quite different. So I like most of my ‘different’ characters.

Anyways, all nonsense aside, I’m glad to see that the prequel is going so well. I apologize for the delay but with me starting my first year in college I haven’t had much time to write. Well, here’s Chapter 5 you guys.

Line up Keepers of Origin:

Sahxeyel: It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Everybody gets around to reading eventually. Just like me getting to this next chapter. I apologize for the delay with Chapter 5 because I just started back at college and recently I believe my allergies to be acting up so I feel like I’m dead tired all the time. But I will not give up on this story. No, no. NEVAH! Muahaha. I should really take care of that evil laugh. Haha.

Enjoy Chapter 5!

“So you’re actually going to the human world to try and figure out what to do with this plan of yours?” Kalverez asked her as she began walking down the Escher-esque pathway to the human world entrance.

“Yes. Their libraries will give me much information. I can also sit and read if I get bored.”

“Come on Nemo, just tell me, really, what is it about humans that fascinate you so much? It cannot be the fact they live their pathetic lives so…foolishly. Can it?”

“It is not their ability to live and die that fascinates me…it’s…everything about them that fascinates me. Why should I be telling you this anyways Kalverez?” She sneered, her teeth sharpening as she answered him. “Haven’t you anything better to do than follow me?”

“I’m just keeping myself in your sight so that you’ll believe me when I say your plan is a secret.” He answered; Kalverez’s drooling was common now amongst his fellow shinigami.

“See that you do.” She looked down into the depths of the swirling darkness that led to the human realm. She glanced back at Kalverez and turned towards him. “Why do you feel the need to kill them for no reason?”

“To put it simply, I just hate their existence. I fail to see why you don’t understand that Nemo.” Kalverez answered, obviously disgruntled with her question to him.

“I suppose that’s one thing we have in common Kalverez. We don’t understand each others’ motives.” Nemo said before she took a step forward and suddenly dropped down into the darkness, and was gone.

“Your motives are clear Nemo…mine are not.” Kalverez said, looking down as she disappeared.

If one knew Nemo well enough, they all ready knew her favoritism with libraries and her uncanny ability to read through as many as 32 books in one day. This time seemed no different as she skimmed the pages of several old religious books on exorcisms and anti-possession monologues. The rantings and ravings of religious fanatics from days long past was quite startling to Nemo’s mind to say the least. Silly things such as mental illnesses were deemed as: ‘possession and corruption’ by devils and demons.

Her discomfort with the readings soon grew into some form of curiosity as she pondered over the writings of these ‘mad’ humans. She was browsing more and more until finally she grew dissatisfied with her findings that clearly led to nothing and put her books and manuals to the side to pick some simpler readings.

“Look mommy. The books are floating.” A child giggled.

Nemo looked up from the copy of ‘Emma’ that she was reading and could not help but smile affectionately at the girl child that pointed to the small book floating just a few inches above the table.

One of the librarian aids must have brought their child to work with them. “Gaaah! Honey get away from there!” The woman cried out pulling the child back and Nemo frowned once the woman fled down the stairs with the child.

“Well Kalverez, I suppose that might be one of your reasons why you hate humans. They fear everything.”

It seemed as soon as she had said his name, he was suddenly there and Nemo slapped her book shut. “What do you want?”

“I’m not going to stick around up there while you sit here and scheme of how you’re going to take my soul to Hell, Nemo. I’m not leaving your sight.”

“How romantic…” She said sarcastically, almost hatefully.

Kalverez rolled his eyes and the bones in his spine cracked slightly. “Oh give it a rest all ready. Like anyone could ever love you.”

Nemo’s eyes glowed yellow and she hissed. “Hold your tongue before I do it for you.”

She went back to some of her previous work before with Kalverez hovering around her. “You know what I don’t understand about the humans of the old times?” he said. “I don’t understand the fact they write about stupid things that none will read until centuries later.”

“Quiet, fool. This is a library.” Nemo whispered, ignoring his statements as she jabbed her thumb in the direction of a sign behind her that clearly read: ‘Please keep silent.’

“Oh! You don’t actually plan to follow those rules do you?!”

“It is courteous and I believe it is the right thing to do.” She turned a page. “Hm….exorcism of objects…” She said, looking over an interesting article. “This could be it.”

“What? What could be it?”

“Silence…” Nemo said, as she stood and began carefully skimming over the pages. “Yes…yes. I see.” She murmured softly. “It can be done…but it will take great skill, duty, and perseverance.” She closed the book and moved past him.

“What nonsense are you muttering Nemo?” Kalverez gave her a funny look.

When she did not answer he looked around frantically and then knocked over her stack of books. “NEMO!”

“What?!” She snarled.

“Just…tell me what your aim is.”

With some of the texts in her hands, Nemo swiftly turned and bashed Kalverez in the face. “Simple as that, your loathsome cur.” She explained. “It is, quite frankly, none of your business.” She chuckled, continuing her stroll.

Kalverez looked up in time to see her disappear and return back to the shinigami realm where he was quick to follow.

“You’re going to…exorcise your…Death Note?” Kalverez asked. “Nemo, it’s not possessed…”

“An object does not need to be possessed in order to perform an exorcism on it. Exorcisms may be used for many different things, such as purification and purging. I’m going to purge the Death Note of all of its intricacies and abilities to grant death to those whose names appear within it.” Nemo flipped open the old texts. “These writings are complex, perhaps even jaded to some degree, but I’ll try anything. I’ll try anything…to make the suffering of the little lives stop.”

“You can’t save them all, Nemo. Why bother? What do you plan to do once you’ve ‘exorcised’ your Death Note? How does one go about doing things as such?” Kalverez cocked his head to the side as Nemo drew a small pentagram in the sand and placed her Death Note in the center after unclasping it from its chain.

The notebook plopped down in the center of the drawn symbol and several moments later, Nemo was flipping through the pages of the texts.

“You are both foolish and wise to remain in my sights Kalverez, why do you linger?” Nemo asked him.

“I’m not risking my soul so that you can come and suck my lifespan out of me again. That technique was not of this realm and I do not wish to have it performed on me again first-hand.”

Nemo tried to ignore him as she read over the correct steps. “The exorcism may be performed on any object, specify the object by placing it in the center of the drawn pentagram.”

“Truly, Nemo. I still wonder if you are a shinigami. What if you are not? What if you are something darker than our kin?”

“If I am a demon, I gladly accept it. I’d rather be a demon than a shinigami any day.” Nemo shot back.

“Nemo, shinigamis do not ‘vampirically’ drain their own kind of their lifespans.” Kalverez hissed, drool trickling onto the ground beneath him from moving his head rapidly. “Now, you tell me, are you a shinigami or not?!”

Nemo stopped and looked up from her texts. “I…do not know. Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not. “ She answered him, her ears twitched atop her head.

“Nemo, that’s not normal, for shinigamis to have that ability and then survive through the trials of the appeals system. You suffered the highest level of torture yet you still live-GRAH!”

“AAAAAHHHH!” Nemo screamed at him, her face encased in the demonic shell and her teeth gnashing at him. “DO NOT SPEAK ANY LONGER!” she hurled him away from her a decent couple feet away before she returned to her normal state.

Nemo breathed heavily and stared down at her Death Note for several seconds in a numbed state then regained control of her emotions and finally turned her attention back to the texts.

“Leave me alone Kalverez. I am busy.” She said, as he crawled back towards her.

“But Nemo, what if your practice goes wrong?” Kalverez snickered.

“That will be my problem.” She looked down at the texts that were clearly written in another language and she looked over the words before glancing at her Death Note, laying still in the center of the pentagram before she grit her teeth and began the incantation.

“Engel haben die Erde gereinigt, die den Abfall vom Meer, vom Himmel und vom normalen bereinigt. Das Vorhandensein des Todes und der Zerstörung kann zurückbleiben, aber es kann möglicherweise nicht anordnen. Im Namen deren, die die heiligen ihres Glaubens dienen, reinige ich alles Übel innerhalb des thee und sendete dunkle Energie zurück zu den Därmen der Hölle.” She spoke, watching the pentagram light up slightly and then stare in confusion as the light faded away.

“I said it right though.” She mumbled, flipping through the verses. “Must I speak the whole column?”

“Probably…” Kalverez muttered. “What language was that? I didn’t get it very much.”

“Deutch.” Nemo answered.

“Eh?”

“German.”

“Ah, yes. I’m bad at writing in everything except English and Spanish.” Kalverez commented.

“I write nothing, I have not spoken this tongue but it rolls from my mouth as though I have spoken it all of my life.” Nemo wondered. “Perhaps I will venture back to the human world to figure the reason for this later. It’s time to watch the humans again.” She closed the texts, picked them up, and reattached her Death Note to the chain dragging behind her.

“H-Hey! I thought you were going to work hard on this!”

“Every small step is an enormous yard.” She explained.

“Well, what are you going to watch the humans for again?”

“To study.”

Authoress Note: I apologize if I got the German translations all wrong. I cheated and went to use Babelfish on Yahoo. Haha. But I love the German language and thought it suited Nemo best, also in my opinion in the Death Note series, if Rem was bad at writing in Japanese, she might have been good with German. They don’t exactly specify the language she wrote in, so I decided to go with German for Nemo.

I also want to apologize if the little things Nemo doesn’t seem uninteresting, I promise I’m trying to work on that. I hope you guys enjoyed. Read and Review please!
