"I want you to live even just for me! I don't want to be alone anymore! This is the only place for me. Just here in your heart..." "Is it okay for me to be here? Very well we'll always be together I promise Hisoka..."
It had started off as any normal day in the Summons department. Tsuzuki was complaining about not getting to eat his cake Hisoka was trying his hardest not to snap at Tsuzuki. Tatsumi was preparing the next meeting and Watari was blowing up his laboratory again. Finally when all of them had settled down the meeting was able to begin.
Hisoka and Tsuzuki were assigned a new case. An area nearby an abandoned mansion the Akiko mansion had recently had several people go missing and be found in the mansion dead. All the bodies were found lying near a mysterious circle drawing. The locals were suspecting some sort of dark magic went on there. But that wasn't the end of it. A ghost sighting had been frequently reported a vision of a woman wearing a red kimono.
Tsuzuki and Hisoka had to go and investigate the strange incidents that were happening at this place. Tsuzuki was worried. Hisoka had recently over worked himself on a recent case and he worried that his empathy might not be able to deal with it. When he noticed Hisoka glaring at him he stopped that train of thought. The kid was tougher than he looked but Tsuzuki still worried for him.
Tsuzuki had come to the conclusion that he was in love with Hisoka but he didn't know how to tell him. He didn't want to ruin their friendship he had finally built up a decent and trusting friendship with Hisoka but he could sense that the wounds from Kyoto were still strong. The boy had been suffering nightmares about Tsuzuki leaving him for a while now. He knew because Hisoka screamed his name in his sleep and begged him not to go like when they were there in the fire.
Tsuzuki thought this was evidence enough but Hisoka was probably confused about his feelings. He didn't know when the right time to tell him would be. Admittedly Tsuzuki was as frightened as Hisoka was he didn't want the boy to leave him. Even though they promised each other that they would stay together. Tsuzuki never wanted to go back down on his promise.
They arrived at their location. The two of them had to stay at the mansion. Looking at the exterior Hisoka knew something just didn't seem right with the place. There was some hidden evil lurking in the depths of the mansion and Hisoka would have to find out what it was. It felt worse than the spiritual sense he got from his old house in Kamakura. And the spiritual sense in that place was evil. Hisoka knew something very bad happened in this place. He could feel it and he knew that the sooner they got out of there the better.
Tsuzuki and Hisoka searched the interior of the house. The place was in ruins and death seemed to lurk everywhere. Hisoka picked up a couple of visions but they didn't make much sense all he could make sense of was the woman in the red kimono. He nearly fainted from that vision but Tsuzuki caught him. Unfortunately Tsuzuki stumbled as well and he ended up in an awkward position on top of Hisoka.
They both blushed. Tsuzuki quickly got off Hisoka apologizing. Hisoka brushed it off but Tsuzuki thought he could see a glimpse of hurt flash in Hisoka's eyes when he got off him. Tsuzuki didn't know what it meant though. After searching the place and not finding out anything useful they decided to eat and lay out their futons for the night.
Hisoka's dreams were plagued with fear. He was running through Touda's flames trying desperately to find Tsuzuki but the room kept getting larger and the flames had completely surrounded him so he was unable to move and he couldn't find Tsuzuki anywhere. "Tsuzuki?" Hisoka called. "Tsuzuki where are you?" He received no reply. He knew then Tsuzuki was abandoning him. The only person to make him love and care had left him.
"TSUZUKI!" Hisoka screamed into the flames sobbing hysterically. He didn't want it to end like this he didn't want to be miserable again. All of a sudden a hand reached out to him and a woman in a red kimono was standing there. "Little toy all you ever do is suffer. All that ever happens to you is abandonment. If you fear being alone then you are the perfect candidate to help me." "Who are you?" "You'll see soon enough." The woman vanished leaving Hisoka still in the flames.
Tsuzuki woke up hearing Hisoka scream his name again. He ran over to Hisoka's futon. He grasped Hisoka's shoulders massaging them to calm him down. Hisoka's eyes snapped open and tears were leaking out of them. "Oh Hisoka come here. It's okay now I'm here and I'm not leaving." Tsuzuki held his arms out to Hisoka.
Hisoka collapsed in Tsuzuki's arms sobbing. "You promise? You promise you won't leave me?" "Of course I won't I haven't forgotten our vow in Touda's flames. I'll never ever leave you Hisoka." "Tsuzuki you're hiding something from me I can feel it. Something's been bothering you for a while now and I know I have something to do with it." Tsuzuki sighed.
"You'll only hate me if I do tell you." "Baka! Why would you think I'd hate you?" "You might not trust me anymore." "Asato I'll always trust you no matter what." Tsuzuki gasped Hisoka just called him Asato! He'd never done that before. But he knew he had to say it. The kid was very stubborn after all. Tsuzuki held onto Hisoka's shoulders again and looked deeply into his emerald green eyes. "I love you Hisoka, you're everything to me."Hisoka gasped for breath stunned.
"You-you love me? You really mean that?" "Yes Hisoka I love you. I cannot live without you in my life Hisoka. Please stay with me." Hisoka was crying. "Hisoka are you alright?" "Oh Tsu I love you too! I've loved you since you held me in your arms that time on the helicopter but for ages I thought it was just friendship." Tsuzuki lifted Hisoka's chin with his finger and pressed his lips against his.
The kiss felt soft and sweet and loving. It was unlike anything Hisoka had ever experienced. And it felt fantastic, it felt like how a first kiss should feel. Hisoka knew he was now loved and knew he was cared about and that was all he needed. When he slept in Tsuzuki's arms the rest of the night he was undisturbed by nightmares...
