Hisoka Kurosaki was sleeping perfectly well for ages since the Kyoto case until he overheard a conversation between Tsuzuki and Watari. They were trying to keep their voices low but he could feel the negative energy all around him. "But Tsuzuki-san are you sure Kurosaki-kun will be able to handle this after everything that happened to him while he was alive?" 'What are they talking about?' Hisoka wondered. "I believe in Hisoka and besides you know how stubborn he is, he'll want to do something about it. The kid's got guts determination." 'Tsuzuki' Hisoka opened the door making them both jump.
"Ah Kurosaki-kun what can I do for you?" "Tell me." "Eh?" "Tell me what's going on? What's happened?" Watari looked down. "You won't like this Kurosaki-kun." "I don't care it's my job to handle these things." "Very well. There have been several incidents recently. Incidents simliar to what Muraki did to you when you were alive." "Oh god. It isn't him is it?" "From what I can tell no all the victims are female and are still alive." "Understood I'll go investigate it." Tsuzuki gave Watari a look that said 'I told you so.' And Hisoka and Tsuzuki set off to investigate the case.
They started by investigating the first victim a seventeen year old girl named Sakura Sakagami. She had red hair and green eyes. Her eyes were emotionless. She was kept in a hospital because she wouldn't talk to anyone. Hisoka could understand how she felt. He decided he would definitely find the bastard doing this and help these victims get back to normal. They tried the second victim but like Sakura she wouldn't open up about it. "Damn it we aren't getting anywhere!" Hisoka cried. "Calm down Hisoka we'll catch him don't worry. I can never forgive anyone who hurts the innocent" "Me neither. I wouldn't wish the emotions that one feels after something like that on anyone."
Tsuzuki smiled at Hisoka. "You're a good kid Hisoka." Hisoka blushed. "I'm not really and I'm not a kid." "You're better than you think you are Hisoka, after all you are the one who saved me from myself after all." "I-I didn't do that much." 'Hisoka.' Tsuzuki thought sadly 'why can't you ever see the good in yourself?' He gently ruffled Hisoka's hair. Hisoka blushed again. Tsuzuki smiled at him. "Right lets go." Hisoka nodded his head and they set off to find more leads.
After hours of searching they found nothing. Tsuzuki suggested they should go and rest Hisoka agreed he was feeling pretty tired. They stopped at the local supermarket to buy things to eat. Because Hisoka was there they managed to keep things in budget. Hisoka made miso soup and rice for their dinner. "Wow Hisoka this is really good. You're really good at cooking you know?" "A-arigatou." Hisoka stammered. Tsuzuki smiled. 'Aww he's embarrased.' "Wh-what are you looking at me like that for?" "No reason." "Well stop it's creeping me out." "Kay." Hisoka cleared up the plates and washed them up. Tsuzuki helped out.
Hisoka glanced at him. "Arigatou Tsuzuki." "It's okay Hisoka I just wanted to help you out, you look exhausted." "I am exhausted looking at those victims reminded me of how I was." Tsuzuki pulled him into his arms. "Tsu-Tsuzuki?" "You're alright now, no matter what I'll protect you. I won't make you cry." "Tsuzuki I-I should be the one protecting you." Tsuzuki looked at him sternly. "You don't have to anymore, you've done more than I can ever ask for and I'm so grateful for that but I'm fine now so don't worry yourself for my benefit." "B-but you lost yourself completely Tsuzuki I could feel it, how empty you felt and it made me feel empty too." "Hisoka..." "I don't ever want to see you like that again..." "You won't don't worry I have you here now don't I?" "Hai, you do and I have you here too." "Yeah."
They set off for bed afterwards and it was then when Hisoka had the first nightmare since ages...
