So,

I kind of accidentally dedicated my life to Kuroko no Basuke.

Matt and Mello are NOT DEAD.

A report by a fellow DN fan.

After researching the rules of the Death Note once again, I stumbled upon one that could help prove the fact that Matt and Mello did not die on their canon death day. The rule is:

'If writing the same name on more than two Death Notes is completed within 0.06 seconds, it is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Note will not take effect and the individual written will not die.'

as found in How to Use: XV. This is the theory that I formulated:

As Mello's death approaches, Sidoh is watching from the sidelines. He sees the date above Mello's head and realizes that the blond has very little time left. So, as he watches Mello drive the truck to Nagano, Sidoh travels to the human world, takes out his Notebook, and writes Mello's real name down. Sidoh is doing this because since Mello has at one point owned his Death Note, Mello can be considered as an owner of the Death Note. Since another rule states that the only god of death that can kill the owner of the Notebook is the one who gave their Notebook up in the first place, Sidoh thinks that it's his responsibility to end Mello's life(as Ryuk does to Light later on in the book).

At the same time Sidoh is just finishing writing 'Mihael Keehl,' Takada is also hurrying to write Mello's name in the scrap of the Notebook. The two finish writing the 'l' at exactly the same time, causing the first mentioned rule to take place.

Meanwhile, Mello is fully expecting to be killed by Takada. He becomes confused when it takes longer than it should, then realizes that something must have gone wrong. Excited that he may continue to live, Mello fakes his death, purposely crashing the truck into Nagano. Knowing Light would want to erase any evidence, Mello quickly escapes and manages to get away while the church burns in the distance.

He finds a way to get back to where he the kidnapping had first taken place, following the route that Matt was supposed to take. When he reaches the clearing where Matt's car is at, riddled with bullet holes, he rushes to the redhead. A quick check at the redhead's pulse assures him that Matt is still alive, merely acting as if he had been shot down, whereas he'd actually been wearing a bullet proof vest. The blood stains are from his arms, which were unprotected by the vest and hit by three bullets, since most of the bodyguards had been aiming for his chest. The blood soaks nearly his entire outer vest, making it appear as if he'd been shot in the chest.

Mello picks Matt up and rushes to the nearest hospital where the hacker can be fixed up.

In the safe confines of a new apartment somewhere secluded, the two, both alive, watch as Kira is finally put to an end by Near.
