"Hisoka…"
The young boy stirred on his bed, trying to shut out the soft insistent voice that kept intruding on his dreams.
"Hisoka! Wake up!"
The voice seemed so familiar, but the young boy just couldn't place it. The more he tried to place it, the more it slipped away from his level of conscious recall. He remembered a pair of violet eyes, depthless eyes that contained pain and had endured countless sorrows. He sensed that there was something he needed to do, that there was a note of urgency in the voice that kept on calling him, coaxing him to wake up.
Blinking open heavy-lidded eyes, Hisoka Kurosaki, currently sixteen and forever sixteen, squinted against the bright morning sunlight that streamed in through his windows.
"Good morning!" a voice as bright as the sunlight and irritatingly cheerful said proudly. The owner of the voice bounced up and down energetically on his bed, amethyst eyes sparkling merrily.
"Get off my bed," Hisoka said grumpily, trying to stop his overly energetic partner, Tsuzuki Asato, from ruining his bed completely. "What do you think you are doing?"
"It's Monday and we're going to be late for work. Look." The twenty-six year-old who looked eighteen, held up the alarm clock. Hisoka glanced at the clock.
"What! Its nine o' clock already!? Oh no, Konoe said that there was a meeting at nine thirty!" Hisoka shot out of bed, properly awake.
"Yup! That's why I said we were going to be late, see. Better hurry!" Tsuzuki beamed enthusiastically and flounced out of the room.
"Baka,' Hisoka muttered to himself. How can he be so cheerful about being late? He acts so much like a kid despite being older than me. Sometimes, I feel like the older one, Hisoka thought to himself as he rushed around the room trying to get dressed as quickly as possible. Running a brush through his blond curls, he checked his reflection in the mirror. Emerald eyes stared back at him.
Changed, Hisoka ran out of the room, down to the kitchen, where Tsuzuki was predictably found, stuffing his face with some leftover chocolate cake. Hearing footsteps, Tsuzuki looked up guiltily.
" Hi! Hisoka, want some?" he grinned, showing a mouth full of chocolate cake. "No!" Hisoka yelled. "Can you stop stuffing your face?! We're going to be late, you baka!" half-shouting and half-dragging his partner out of the door.
Walking out onto the street, Hisoka setting a brisk pace, Tsuzuki still whining about his unfinished breakfast. Hisoka strode on, turning a deaf ear to Tsuzuki's pleas to slow down, when suddenly, Tsuzuki just shut up. Startled at the abrupt absence of noise, he turned around to find…nothing. No Tsuzuki, just nothing.
Heart pounding in his ears, Hisoka looked around worriedly. Still no Tsuzuki. Shit. Cursing himself for his carelessness, Hisoka backtracked down the street, only to find……………
Tsuzuki standing outside a bakery drooling, with his face pressed against the window. Exasperated, Hisoka stomped up to Tsuzuki and began to drag him away. Tsuzuki turned around to look at him, lilac eyes filling up with tears. "Please? Just one piece? The cakes here are famous." Glimmering eyes stared at Hisoka pleadingly.
Hisoka sighed. I hate it when he does that. Resigned to his fate, Hisoka felt himself cave in. "Fine. Whatever."

One hour later…in Enma Cho.
Tsuzuki and Hisoka burst into the room. "Sorry we're late" Tsuzuki sang out, holding a bag of cakes in each hand. "Look, I bought cakes for everyone."
Tatsumi [TATSUMII!!!!!!!!!!! *glomps*] Seiichiro, long-time secretary of Enma Cho's Shokan division, and long suffering friend of Tsuzuki, paused in the middle of his explanation and glared at Tsuzuki. Looking like a whipped puppy, Tsuzuki tried the teary eyed trick again. " Sorrrryyy…" he whined. " I won't do it again." Blink. Blink.
Tatsumi's face softened for 1 second. "Just sit down" he growled. Tsuzuki grinned happily and plonked into a nearby chair. Hisoka slunk into the room behind Tsuzuki and sat in an empty chair beside him, not talking to anyone, while the other occupants snickered at Tatsumi's soft spot for Tsuzuki.
Tatsumi glared around the room, silencing the snickers, although there were still some smirks, before proceeding with the briefing. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted *Glare at Tsuzuki, who whimpers and sinks lower in his chair* , there has been a series of strange occurrences happening throughout the country, with the majority concentrated in the 2nd division, Kyushu, whom Tsuzuki and Hisoka are in charge of. However, since this case is rather big, they will be assisted by both me and Watari. Is this clear? Tsuzuki?"
Tsuzuki nodded his head emphatically. "Hisoka? What about you? Hisoka? Hisoka?"
Tatsumi's words fell on deaf ears as Hisoka had already fallen into deep slumber. Tsuzuki glanced worriedly at his partner. Maybe I should have let him sleep in. I know he hasn't been sleeping well lately because of dreams, or more accurately, nightmares. The kid may not want to let me know, but I can still tell. Sheesh. It may be hard for him to confide in people, but he could tell me. I am his partner. I swear, if his dreams have anything to do with THAT man, I'll rip that bastard apart the next time I see him. Tsuzuki shuddered at the thought of 'that man', (whom if you haven't already guessed, refers to Muraki) I refuse to dwell on thoughts of that disgusting pervert. That way leads to a very bad mental place, full of madness and insanity.
"Tsuzuki. Tsuzuki!" Staring off into space, Tsuzuki came back down into Meifu. He blinked his eyes, staring back at him were five pairs of worried eyes (yes, even Terazuma was worried), well, six if you count 003. Hisoka luckily, was still asleep and could not sense his partner's troubled emotions. "Tsuzuki? Are you OK?"
"Yeah, fine. Just thinking about something" he replied, plastering a smile on his face and proceeding to shake Hisoka.
"Humph. He was probably thinking of cake or something," Terazuma muttered, getting whacked on the head by his partner Wakaba.
"Cake!? Where?!" Tsuzuki looked around wildly.
"What…Ow…stop shaking me…" the young boy muttered in his sleep. Hisoka struggled through the darkness, striving to reach the familiar voices somewhere above him. He felt a hand shaking him roughly by the shoulder. Through the contact, he felt a mix of emotions, worry, concern and protectiveness, perhaps more than he was comfortable with, but as it was Tsuzuki, it was okay. Through the tangle of emotions, he also felt a fragment of another unidentifiable emotion, but was unable to place it. Feeling uncomfortable at the invasion of his partner's privacy, he broke off the contact and sat up.
The eyes that met his were filled with concern, hidden behind a mask of forced cheerfulness that fooled no one. "Yo, Sleeping beauty awakes" Tsuzuki joked.
"Maybe you should go home and rest," Konoe suggested. "Right, rest up, because you have to start working on the case tomorrow. Today is strictly for information gathering only'" Tatsumi added. "At least with me along, I'll be able to minimise the property damages. OK, you're dismissed."
"Lunch time! Food Food Food Food Food Food!" Tsuzuki chanted, hopping around like a mad kangaroo. " Hisoka you better go home and rest. I'llbringsomethingbackfor youBye……." He said in a rush, before disappearing in a flash, leaving behind trails of dust.
Hisoka sighed. He'll never change. And headed back to the apartment hoping for some restful sleep.
