SWEET CAKE
Sun shining through palm leaves, the ocean waves tumbling against the white sand, and a nice cool wind to cool off from the heat. Yes, it was paradise. Buffets every night, including booze and live entertainment. Aaahh, relaxing isn't it? If only you took the chance of a week holiday from EnmaCho! But nope, there he is…the only one who refused the trip in order to finish his master plan, Yutaka Watari. Yes, the blonde scientist had locked himself up in his lab with 003 and his bubbly colourful chemicals and potions.
"Waaah, how many days has past 003-chan?!" he said without looking up from the blue foaming liquid. It threatened to spill over the rim of the flask. 003 hooted from his shoulder. Watari looked at his owl friend. "Really? Then that will be perfect." He smiled cheerfully and 003 happily hooted. He grabbed a test tube filled with shiny white fluid sloshing about. He leaned down so he was eye level with the blue flask and gently tipped over the test tube so a drop fell out and into the bubbly blue. Which had swirled and turned pink. Bubbles had rise had floated around, tugged gently by the AC. Watari smiled widely.
"Sugoi!! I have done it! My wonderful SEX CHANGING POTION!!" he announces to 003, who hooted back and fluttered around. More bubbles were rising from the pink bottle and it started to hiss. Watari stopped in the middle of his victory dance and looked at it puzzlingly. "Eh?" It exploded. Pink goop covered the room. Some streaked with blue. Watari was among the heap of sticky wet junk.
"Hmmm…" he ponders for a moment. "Do you think it suppose to explode? 003-chan? 003-chan?? Where'd you go?!" He got up and wiped the substance from his glasses. Amazingly, Watari sees the bottle and chemicals still intact, only covered in pink. "Oh, thank goodness nothing was destroyed!" The orange eyed scientist took a step forward, only to hear his step squawk. "Ah, 003-chan! There you are!" His hands scooped down and brought up and raggedy pink fluff ball. It hooted indignantly. "Well, let's clean up, hm?"
-=-=-=-=-
"I can't believe this will be our last night here!" the shinigami's voice wailed. His puppy tail wagged sadly. "I'll miss all the free sweets…"
"Baka, is that all you care about?" The shinigami with forest green eyes glared at his partner. Tsuzuki bounced to his partner's side.
"Of course I don't only care about sweets!" he beamed. Tsuzuki slung an arm around the surprised Hisoka's shoulder. "I care about you too, 'Sokaaa!" A blush rose to the smaller shinigami and Hisoka pushed Tsuzuki's arm off. Hisoka was going to call Tsuzuki an idiot with the trademark glare until Tatsumi showed up with a martini in hand.
"I hope you two packed up everything. I don't want to be late catching the ride back to EnmaCho," he said seriously as he sipped his glass. Tsuzuki faltered.
"But I wanted to stay here a bit longer…why leave so early in the morning?" he whined. He sat down in a chair and watched the moths and fireflies dance around the torch. They were out in the beach having their last luau. Tatsumi took the seat next to Tsuzuki and pointed to their chief.
"Because it's embarrassing when Kacho is drunk and flirts with the dancers." Tsuzuki nodded in agreement. There on the stage, Kanoe was a bit tipsy and stumbling around the hula dancers who sweat dropped and tried to avoid him. Hisoka walked off from where he stood. The purple-eyed shinigami stood up from his seat and caught up with him.
"Hisoka! Wait, where are you going?" Hisoka turned around. Tsuzuki was wearing a brightly coloured and patterned Hawaiian shirt and black trunks. He bothered not to wear a shirt or tank underneath [yummy! XD].
"I'm going back to our room," he said casually. Hisoka's wearing an orange flannel with a white tank underneath and blue shorts. The orange tint from the fires that lit the way back to the hotel made his skin and blonde hair glow. Tsuzuki grinned.
"Hisoka," he said. "Can you buy me some cakes from the bakery inside?" The puppy shinigami wagged his tail happily. "Pleeeeaaase, 'Soka?" Purple eyes were set on pleading mode. Hisoka sweat dropped and sighed. He threw his hands in the air.
"You're a bottomless pit, you know that, Tsuzuki?" he turned around and walked to the beautiful resort. "This is the last time I'm wasting my yen on you!" Tsuzuki jumped happily and glomped Hisoka from behind.
"Sankyuuu!"
"B-baka!" Hisoka felt the heat flourishing around his cheeks. "Get off of m-me!!"
"Gomen nasai, Hisoka!"
As soon as they arrived back in EnmaCho, Kanoe told the employees to have an hour off so they can change since they were still in vacation gear. They thanked him and Tsuzuki was especially happy.
"I can eat my sweets now!" he chirped. Since last night, he didn't get to eat the cake Hisoka bought for him. Its creaminess was summoning Tsuzuki's watering mouth to chomp on its fluffy sweet flesh. Seeing that the cake was still in the box, which was with his baggage, he walked to the door and grabbed the knob. Unfortunately, someone opened the door first and slammed it to the poor shinigami's face.
"Welcome back!!" Watari shouted. He smiled widely. Tatsumi greeted him back and so did Kanoe and Hisoka. "Where's Tsuzuki?" 003 flew off the clueless scientist and hooted as she landed on the stunned Tsuzuki on the floor. "Ah, there you are!" Watari dragged Tsuzuki outside an pardoned himself. Once they were outside and everybody had left to change, Tsuzuki came around and Watari hugged him.
"I'm glad to see you too, Watari, but I can't breathe!!" Tsuzuki flapped his arms around until Watari released his hold and apologized.
"Tsuzuki! Remember why I told you I didn't want to go with you guys?" Watari said anxiously. Tsuzuki scratched his head.
"Ah…no."
"Oh, well let's just look at this flashback!"
# Flashback #
"Watariiii! How come you don't wanna come!! It's vacation all weeeeek!!" Tsuzuki cried out. Watari laughed and pet the sad puppy.
"Tsuzuki! The reason I'm not going is to…" Watari lowered his voice and looked around. Everybody was outside. "…can you keep it a secret?"
"Hai hai!"
"I'm going to be working on my SEX CHANGING POTION!!"
# End flashback #
"Oh yeah, I remember now," Tsuzuki said. "Are you finished with it?" Watari eagerly pulled out a plastic rectangular container. Inside was the pink cream filled to the top.
"Now, it'd be too obvious if I just laid out a tub of cream for people to eat so I need a pastry," Watari said in his scientific voice. He grinned and looked at the plastic bag on Tsuzuki's luggage. "Is that cake?" The chocolate haired shinigami swished around and stared at the plastic baggy. Inside was the cake, but…
"Hisoka bought that for me! Don't waste it!!" Tsuzuki wailed and jumped in front of the cake using his body as a shield from Watari's sex changing cream. The blonde scientist chuckled and told Tsuzuki that he'll take only one slice. Tsuzuki agreed happily.
"Let's go to your house, Tsuzuki," Watari said. "We can cut the cake and plan out who gets to eat it!"
Moments after Tsuzuki changed into his usual suit for work, Watari went to the kitchen to get a knife. The two eager friends and an owl gathered around the coffee table on which the slice of cake laid on a dish. Trembling with excitement, the happy scientist pried the plastic lid of the container carefully. Grabbing the knife, Watari dipped the knife in and smothered the cake with this special cream. His amber eyes twinkled and laughed happily at the cake.
"Excellent," he murmured, tapping his fingers together. "Now, who's going to eat it?" 003 flew off his shoulder and hooted.
"Not me!" Tsuzuki said, backing away from the sweet slice. "What about Tatsumi?" The puppy shinigami wagged his tail. "Wouldn't you like to see him as a girl? Heehee!" Watari reddened but folded his arms and closed his eyes.
"I was thinking about giving Bon this stuff." 003 hooted in agreement.
"WHAAAT? No way!"
"Yeah, you're right. He kinda has a girly figure already," Watari joked. Tsuzuki frowned and stuck out his tongue.
"You're so mean, Watari! I think he looks-"
"Cute?"
"……yes," came the purple-eyed shinigami's shy answer. His face became a bit pink. Watari slapped him on the back.
"C'mon! Let's find Tatsumi!" Watari grabbed the platter and Tsuzuki followed him out.
Footsteps echoed down the hall, made by a pair of sneakers. His green eyes looked at the floor, his feet guiding him to the chief's office. Opening the door quietly, he found out that nobody was inside. He was the first to arrive. He took a seat and drummed his fingers on the table. It was only 10: 15 am. He was very early indeed. With forty-five minutes to spare, all he could do is sit and wait.
I wonder where Tsuzuki might be. Baka, probably at home stuffing himself silly with the cake. This is sooo boring… he thought endlessly.
"Ah, Kurosaki-kun," said a voice. Hisoka lifted his head up and turned around. It was Tatsumi, decked in his usual brown suit. "No one else is here yet?"
"No."
"Well, I'm going to my office for some paperwork. Tell me when Kacho is here." Tatsumi left after Hisoka nodded to him. After fifteen minutes and no sign of Kanoe arriving, the young shinigami rose from his seat and left. He went to the bathroom. ^_^;
"Sshh, I don't think anybody came here yet!" a finger went to his lips as the scientist shushed the puppy. Tsuzuki nodded and opened the door to the office. Nobody was there and he motioned Watari to come in and silently close the door. The muffled their laughter and tiptoed to the chairs. Tsuzuki placed it in front of the chair on the right. The blonde shinigami waved his hands around.
"No! That isn't where Tatsumi sits!" Watari reached over the table and grabbed the plate. "He sits over here." He moved the dish carefully to the left side of the table. The small owl hooted.
"No," Tsuzuki said. "He always sits on the right side of Kanoe!" He pulls the cake to the right side.
"Don't be such a forgetful person, Tsuzuki! It's obvious he sits on the left side!"
"You maybe a scientist, Watari, but I think you could have made your calculations wrong."
"I don't think so!"
So it kinda went like that, the two shinigamis puling the cake towards either side of the table. That is until there was a knock on the door. 003 fluttered off the shoulder and out the window.
"Hide!"
After Hisoka left the bathroom, he thought that Kanoe would be back by now. He looked at his watch and it read 10: 45 am. He walked to the office but slowed a few meters away when he heard voices inside. Since they were muffled he wasn't sure whose voice it belongs to. Quietly approaching the door, he knocked. The shuffling inside stopped. He knocked again.
"Kanoe?" Turning the knob slowly with a hand, he gently kicked the door open and peered inside. Empty. Letting out a sigh he moved to the table and sat down. Little did he know, Watari and a puppy Tsuzuki were cowering under the table. Recognizing the shoes of his partners Tsuzuki was about to scream out "NOO!!" but Watari's hand covered his mouth.
"Huh?" the young teen looked at the piece of cake presented on the table. A fork was stabbed and lost in the fluffy pink cream. Forest green eyes stared at it intently, like it was going to explode. Nothing happened. What is a piece of cake doing here? Is it for me? Silence. His hand itched to grab the fork, but he wasn't quite sure if it was meant for him to eat. Nobody else is here. Did someone put it here knowing I would come back? Aw hell with it. I'm hungry. Pulling the cake towards him and swiped his finger across the thick layer of cream, he began to wonder if this pastry was the same cake he bought for Tsuzuki last night. He licked off the pink frosting and thought it was good. After a few minutes he was done. Beneath the table, Tsuzuki was crying and Watari was grinning from ear to ear, waiting for the result. The happy scientist expected a puff of smoke or Hisoka gagging for air, but instead the boy just fell out of his chair unconscious. The puppy broke free of Watari's grasp and scrambled to his partner's side.
"AAAHHHH!! You killed him!! He's not moving!" Tsuzuki gathered Hisoka's head into his lap and cried loudly. Watari crawled out of the table and placed his fingers on the teen's pulse.
"Quiet! He's not dead he's just knocked out." That made the browned hair man stop wailing.
"Oh. I knew that." Watari sighed as he looked at Hisoka. A failed experiment. Hopefully I won't get clobbered. Watari thoughts started to think of what was wrong, but footsteps were heard outside the room.
"Oh no!" He pulled Tsuzuki from the floor. "Someone is coming! Hide Hisoka!"
"Why?!" Tsuzuki asked as he quickly picked up Hisoka in his arms.
"Because!" Watari said as he opened a closet door. His mind wracked for an excuse. "If they found out that I tested some of my experiments, then, uh, uh…!"
"Kurosaki-kun, did Kacho arrive yet?"
"EEP!" Watari yelped and pushed the two shinigami in the small closet.
"WHA-!!" He didn't know why he was being locked inside, but he instantly hated it because he could hardly move. Hisoka's head just lolled on the man's shoulders. The brown-haired man could see himself all red despite being in the dark. Being squished against his crush in a small closet was certainly not his favourite thing to do. He would have to beat Watari for this. His hair stood on end when he heard Hisoka groan. The blonde was too close for comfort. If the kid did wake up, Tsuzuki would be fairly beaten to death from the teen. The shinigami nearly screamed when he felt Hisoka move around.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! He felt the door creak open.
"I'm just going to hang my coat!" That was Tatsumi's voice. "I don't see why you're so –WHAT THE H – Aaahh!" Tsuzuki whimpered as he felt himself fall over backwards and onto the hard floor. He grabbed Hisoka around the waist and pulled him down too.
"What the hell are you guys doing in the closet?!!" Tatsumi yelled out. Kanoe jumped up from his seat and looked at the tangled mass of bodies on the floor. He got a nosebleed.
"Uh, uh, ano…." Tsuzuki stuttered, but before he could utter another word, Hisoka woke up unaware and sat up from his bed of flat red Tsuzuki. The blonde yawns and lifted his arm to stretch. Tatsumi got a nosebleed and turned around and ran to the tissue box.
"…what?" squeaked Hisoka. His hands shot out to cover his mouth. Did his voice just sound a tad higher?
"….'Soka…eeeh…" As green eyes traveled down to the floor, Hisoka found out that he wasn't sitting on the floor. But rather sitting on top of Tsuzuki, in a…uh…in a way.
"Aaaahhh!!!" Quickly scrambling off his crimson partner, he found himself standing up blushing from head to toe. Speechless and embarrassed and pissed, Hisoka opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Instead Watari said something.
"I think it worked!!" He smiled wide and yanked Hisoka's denim jacket off to reveal the orange sweater. The world was oblivious to the blonde mad scientist. He didn't notice Tatsumi and Kanoe faint. "Bon! Look in the mirror!" He went adjusted the closet door. On the inside of the door was a mirror. He swung it until it was against the wall, facing Hisoka. "Look! My sex changing potion worked!!"
Tsuzuki was quick enough to catch the "new" Hisoka Kurosaki, who fainted in disbelief.
Well, what do you think? Reviews would be much appreciated!!! ^_^
