Guilty Existence
Chapter 1
"WAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!"
Tsuzuki Asato fawned over the overly high calorie dark chocolate cake in front of him. He was in full chibi-inu.
Kurosaki Hisoka sighed and closed his book. Now there was no way he could concentrate. He glared at his partner. "Don't tell me you're gonna eat all THAT."
"Hai!!!!!!! I LUV sweets!!!!!!!!!!"
Hisoka rubbed his head. "Ugh, now I have a headache..."
Watari Yutaka seemed overly amused by all this. "Eat up, Tsuzuki!!! It's all yours!!!!"
"Arigato!!!!!!" Tsuzuki pressed his face into the cake.
Kannuki Wakaba hopped over to them. "Ooh, can I have some?" She took a pinch of the cake and popped it into her mouth.
Watari suddenly looked worried. "Wait!!!! Don't-"
Too late. Where Tsuzuki and Wakaba stood now were the cutest little puppies in existence.
Watari snapped his fingers. "Damn, I was hoping he'd turn into a kitten..."
Tsuzuki and Wakaba didn't seem fazed by the change. In fact they looked downright cheerful about it.
Hisoka gawked at the puppies. "Watari-san!! You-"
Inu-Tsuzuki climbed up into Hisoka's lap and started licking his face. Hisoka tried to push him away but to no avail.
It was then that Terazuma Hajime showed up. "Where's my partner? We have a-AGH!!!!!!!!!"
Inu-Wakaba attached herself to his leg. Terazuma started running around, trying to shake her off.
"Hisoka-chaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!" came a yell from the door.
"Oh no!!!!" wailed Hisoka as Yuma and Saya rushed over to him, waving pink and purple ribbons.
Tatsumi Seiichiro heard the commotion from the hall and decided to check on his employees.
Watari was writing down something on his clipboard, Yuma and Saya were tying ribbons in Hisoka's now messy hair, and Terazuma was still running around the room. Not to mention Tsuzuki was still licking Hisoka's face and neck, and Wakaba was still attached to Terazuma.
Tatsumi closed the door. "I don't want to deal with this..."
Konoe-kachou walked up to him. He had also heard the noise. "Well, it isn't like this is new, right?"
Tatsumi sighed heavily and mustered up enough self-control to enter the room without killing anyone.
"Alright, settle down!!!" he yelled. "Watari, don't tell me this is the work of one of your potions!!!"
Watari cheerfully nodded and went back to his observation.
"Unless you want me to force you to vacate your lab, turn them back!!!"
Then Watari seemed cheerful about giving them the antidote. Needless to say, seeing Tsuzuki perched on Hisoka's lap was quite a sight.
"Get off me!!!!" snapped Hisoka, shoving an SD Tsuzuki to the floor. Wakaba detached herself from Terazuma's leg, much to his relief.
Konoe stood at the front of the room. "Before I brief Terazuma and Kannuki-chan on their mission, I have something to tell you all. We have a new employee."
"Another Shinigami?" said Hisoka.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" asked Yuma.
"It's a girl," said Tatsumi. "One which some of you know well. She isn't new to this department."
Suddenly the door swung open and an extremely cheerful voice flooded the room.
"My oh my!! This place hasn't changed a bit!!!"
A girl that hardly looked a day past seventeen stood in the doorway. Her auburn hair was worn loose down to her elbows. Two strands hung down the center of her face. Glasses framed her face, sizing her turquoise eyes up a bit. She wore a white tank top and light blue flare jeans that heavily covered jelly sandals. Her eyes studied each of the faces in the room. Her face lit up with total joy when her eyes fell on a particular Shinigami.
"Asato-kun!!!" she squealed, hopping over to Tsuzuki, who looked just as happy to see her.
"Rei-chan!!!" cried out Tsuzuki in surprise. She glomped him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Hisoka's eye twitched.
Tatsumi rolled his eyes. "You haven't changed a bit, Hongou-chan."
Rei let go of Tsuzuki to run over and glomp Tatsumi. Eyes bulged at this. "Tatsumi-san!!!! Your still so uptight!!!"
She ran around the room hugging the Shinigami. Yuma and Saya were more than thrilled to see her.
"I remember when you wore the first Pink House dress we bought!!" squealed Yuma.
"You looked sooooooooo kawai!!!!" squealed Saya. "But I really think Hisoka-chan would look kawai in one!!"
"'Hisoka-chan'?" Rei poked her head between the two girls. Hisoka was glaring at her, and he'd forgotten about the ribbons in his hair.
Rei glomped him. "Konnichi-wa!!!!!! Hongou Rei desu!!!!" she let him go and looked him over. "Wow, you're young...and you have such pretty eyes!! Like two big emerald chunks!!!"
"How does everyone know you?" said Hisoka, his tone harsh.
"Oh, I worked as a Shinigami from 1981 to 1992. I was transferred to a different department where I worked until now. They said I work much much MUCH better as a Shinigami." She looked him over again. "Hmm, just shorter than me by almost an inch. I betcha got a short-man attitude."
Hisoka glared at her.
Tatsumi cleared his throat. "Until we can get you situated, you will act as Watari's partner."
"WAI!!!!!!!!!!! Watari-kun's partner!!!!!" she glomped the scientist, who looked very happy by the decision.
Konoe nodded. "Now that this has been taken care of, I'll need to brief Terazuma and Kannuki-chan on their mission." He headed for his office, Terazuma and Wakaba following.
"Bye, Wakaba-chan!! Terazuma-chan!!" called Rei.
"Don't use 'chan'!!!!" Terazuma yelled back.
Hisoka tried to get back to reading his book, but the genkiness around him was almost enough to suffocate him.
"Who wants starfish candies?" declared Rei, pulling out a tiny bag filled with different colored tiny starfish.
"Oooooooh, I want some!!!" said Tsuzuki, taking a handful.
Everyone except Hisoka took some. When Rei saw that he was still sitting at his desk, she hopped over to him. "Starfish candy?"
Hisoka took a yellow piece and popped it into his mouth. It tasted like lemon.
"Do you like them, Hisoka-chan?"
"Sure." He went back to his book.
"Hey, I know!! You're Asato-kun's new partner!!!"
"Not new," said Hisoka. "He's been my partner going on three years now."
Rei's jaw dropped. "Three YEARS?!?! That's amazing!!! Most split after a few months!!!"
Hisoka felt a headache coming on, so he chose to ignore her.
Rei smiled at Hisoka. She could tell he was irritated by her calling Tsuzuki by his first name.
I remember Tatsumi-san's expressions when I first started calling him Asato-kun, she thought, looking around the room. Heh, I love this department. I could see why Tatsumi-san isn't in favor of me. I think he still remembers the time Watari-kun and I put a potion in his coffee and he transformed into a bunny. Nobody could stop laughing.
She looked at Tsuzuki, who was still digging through the bag of starfish candy. "Hey Asato-kun, how 'bout I treat you to lunch? You can order whatever you want."
Tsuzuki went chibi-inu. "Reeeeeeeeeeally?!"
"Yep, my treat." She looked around the room. "I'll treat everyone!!"
"Ooh, that sounds great!!!" said Watari. Then his face dropped. "But I'm afraid I'm going to have to work in my lab during lunch hour."
"And we have to make a brand new dress for Hisoka-chan!!" said Yuma.
Rei walked back over to Hisoka. "Come with us. I'm sure Asato-kun would want you to come."
"No," said Hisoka. His tone was even harsher. "You two have a great time."
She blinked at his tone, and then turned. "Let's go, Asato-kun!!"
Tsuzuki seemed a little down because Hisoka wasn't going. But he stayed cheerful. "Hai!! Let's go!!!"
Hisoka felt his teeth grit as they left. Why was she calling Tsuzuki by his first name? Why does she seem too friendly with him? Why the hell do I even care?!
"Hisoka-chaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!" squealed two certain people behind him.
He suddenly regretted not going with them.
"You remember all those pranks you pulled on Tatsumi?" said Tsuzuki. "Well, Watari helped you with them..."
Rei stirred her tea. "Hmm, we've turned him into a bunny, a frog, a fly, a shoelace...um, I think an egg...I can't remember anything else."
"We all got good laughs out of all of them. It's great to have you back."
Rei stopped stirring her tea. "Asato-kun, I know this isn't a good time to bring this up, but I heard about what happened in Kyoto."
Tsuzuki froze. His gaze dropped. "Well, it wasn't like it was a secret..."
"I'm glad you lived." Her hand clenched on the table. "When I heard it happened, I was so scared for you. I didn't pay you a visit because I was afraid I would say the wrong thing."
Tsuzuki put on a smile. "Don't worry!! I'm fine now!!"
"...I also heard about how your partner saved you. Not only your life, but also your sanity. Since Hisoka-chan has been your partner a long time, I assume it was him?"
"...Hai."
Rei smiled. "You love him, ne?"
Tsuzuki gaped at her.
"I sense something from you two. He is cold, but I can tell his feelings match yours. You probably didn't see his expressions when I was around you, but I did. Considering how many partners you go through, and how quickly they break away, this is a rarity. He's probably the most withdrawn person you've ever met, but he's been with you for a long time."
Tsuzuki smiled sadly. "I do feel...something for him. But I don't know how to express it."
"Don't worry, Asato-kun!! Just express it in your own way!! I'm sure he'll do the same thing!! When the time is right, you move in!"
"Hai!" He dug into his apple pie. "This is good!!!"
Rei laughed and started eating her own slice.
From the shadows, a set of cold eyes watched the two genki Shinigami.
"Well well," said the person. "It looks like she's come back. My young victim. And she's with him...this should be interesting..."
OOH, shocker!!!! C'mon, did you think I'd put Tsuzuki up with her?! Well, this should be a funny and serious story!!! By the way...can you guess who the guy spying on them is? If you can't, you'll find out soon. See ya next time!!!!! ^_^
