A/n: XD SCORE! Since none of the reviews for "Her Last Dance" were flames and I got five….I WIN! Now….IknowIvelostmymindpleasedontkillmeeeee! Watari/Hisoka. Noflamesplease.

Summery: When Hisoka Watari pair up on a case involving one of Professor Satomi's personal assistants, is it really a suicide gone wrong, or did someone murder her to lure Hisoka?

Pairings: Hisoka/Watari, Tsuzuki/Tatsumi, Muraki/Oriya.

Follow Me

Hisoka sat on his side of the desk, waiting impatiently for the very late Tsuzuki.

'It's bad enough he broke up with me, now he's got to be late for work every morning after? It was a week ago and you broke up with me so I don't know why you're acting like this.'

Footsteps rang clearly in the hall.

The man was obviously running and as the figure began to open the door Hisoka opened his mouth to scold who he thought was Tsuzuki.

He closed his mouth however as Watari's shining smile greeted him.

"Good morning Bon! 003 and I bought you something."

Hisoka looked confused as the owl dropped a white rose into his lap.

"Thank you…but what's it for?"

Watari laughed and winked.

"Don't tell me you forgot what day it is!"

Hisoka glanced at the calendar and paled.

"It's…"

Watari nodded.

"You're twenty one today! Happy birthday Hisoka!"

Watari lost his smile as Hisoka began to tear up.

"Well if it was happy it's not now."

Watari sighed and walked up to him, gently laying his hand on Hisoka's shoulder.

"Still getting over Tsuzuki?"

Hisoka looked up at his friend and nodded.

"I just don't understand. We were so happy and then all the sudden…"

It was then that said person slinked in.

"Good morning Hisoka."

Hisoka stood, not bothering to brush away the tears on his cheeks.

"I'm glad you're here Tsuzuki. I need you to sign this."

He slid a contract over to him.

Tsuzuki's eyes widened as he read over it.

He looked up in shock.

"But Hisoka. You don't have to…"

Hisoka stopped him.

"Yes, Tsuzuki…I do. At least for a while. Maybe once I can get over the idea of you cheating on me with Tatsumi, I'll come back. But until then I've opted to partner with Watari."

Watari looked shocked, but inwardly smiled.

He understood Hisoka's move.

He wasn't the only one reeling from a bad break up; Watari himself had been seeing Tatsumi for a few weeks before the cobalt-eyed secretary had disappeared with Tsuzuki for two days.

It was dreaded news for the two blonds, though more so for Hisoka who had been in a solid relationship with Tsuzuki for almost three years, when they returned and informed them of what they'd done and the decision they'd made.

He'd thought Hisoka had taken this news too well.

Watari was dying inside, and he knew Hisoka had to be too.

This was the first day he'd actually seen him crying though.

Tsuzuki looked hurtfully between the two blonds and sighed deeply.

"I'm very sorry Watari, Hisoka…but I have to follow my heart and it's telling me that I need to be with Tatsumi."

Watari looked away, fighting back tears.

"I've got to be going. Bon, when you're ready I'll help you move to my lab. That's where most of my case reports end up anyway."

Hisoka nodded silently and Watari started to walk out but Hisoka stopped him at the door.

"Thanks again for the rose. And for letting me be your partner."

Watari gave one of his trademark smiles as 003 fluttered her wings.

"It'll be nice not being stuck in the office so much. We'll have a lot of fun I think."

And with that e was gone.

''

A while later Watari was sitting at his makeshift desk in his lab.

He was trying to concentrate on his latest case report but Tsuzuki's words kept echoing through his mind.

Suddenly he felt strong arms wrap around him and he stiffened.

In the reflection on the glass of one of his cabinets, he saw the expression on Tatsumi's face.

"Watari…"

The blond stopped him and pushed the arms away.

"Just don't. Don't say you're sorry, don't say you still love me, and don't tell me you still want to be friends because it's just not going to happen right now."

Tatsumi frowned and stepped back.

"Than I guess I have nothing to say about that."

Watari stood but never turned.

"Good. That means you can leave now. I'm very busy. My report will be on your desk tomorrow morning."

Tatsumi sighed.

"Actually beyond that…you and your new partner have a case; a rather urgent one at that. The report can wait until later, you and Kurosaki need to be in the conference room in an hour."

Watari nodded silently.

He waited until Tatsumi had left before sitting down again.

He pulled off his glasses and took the scarf out of his hair, using it to dry the tears in his eyes so no one would know.

He'd perfected the art of having a good cry without getting puffy eyes.

He just couldn't let Tatsumi see that he was taking this harder than he looked.

Suddenly a hand was placed gently on his shoulder and he froze.

'Damn. Caught…but by who?'

He turned slowly and was happy to see Hisoka's concerned face, rather than Tsuzuki or Tatsumi.

"Bon! Did Tatsumi-san tell you the good news? We have our first case together!"

Hisoka nodded.

"It's okay though Watari. You and I are feeling the same right now."

Watari sighed deeply and replaced his glasses, though left the scarf on the desk.

"If I admit to anyone but myself that I'm hurting over this, I'll never be able to regain control."

Hisoka smiled softly and pulled the chair over from the computer.

"So, let me help you with that report."

''

Watari and Hisoka sat tentatively in front of Konoe as he explained the case.

"We're not sure where she is exactly, though we have evidence to suggest she went back to her mother. You'll need to go to the mother's house first. If she is not there…well, we'll see what to do if we get to that point."

Hisoka stared at the photo of the woman.

Something about her seemed off.

"And she killed herself? Are you sure of that? Something seems wrong with this. Don't most suicides move on? That's the point of killing ones self isn't it?"

Konoe nodded.

"Right. Usually that's true but we have had cases where the person has changed their mind and simply refused to go. We believe this is what has happened here. She took a large number of sedatives."

Hisoka nodded silently, content with this answer for the moment.

"You leave tomorrow morning."

Watari watched quietly as Konoe left the room, but as soon as he was out of earshot, he turned to his new partner.

"I think you're right Bon. I've been looking over the paperwork and guess what collage she was a student at?"

Hisoka's eyes narrowed in thought.

"Satomi is dead though."

Watari nodded.

"She was one of his personal assistants before he began the human cloning project. I have the feeling this is going to be a big case."

Hisoka nodded.

"I only hope it doesn't have anything to do with that bastard."

Watari stopped at the door after he stood, and turned to Hisoka.

"So do I Bon…for my own sake, so do I."

Hisoka stared up at Watari in shock as the first wave of hatred hit him.

"If I run into him…I'll kill him once and for all."

Hisoka looked down with a small smile.

"It's nice that you're concerned for me, however I don't think anyone can kill him…besides. If he died, even by our hands, he'd be our biggest case yet. Better to be alive than tormenting me."

Watari softened.

"I guess."

He suddenly brightened.

"Let's go get lunch! We can take it in the library."

Hisoka smiled.

"That sounds good."
