The Demons Trill

I've based this fanfic (my first one *~*) on the devil's trill case, and shook it up a bit. There are some events that happened in the anime that I fit in but most of it is me messing around with the characters and their minds *laughs evilly* Due to the rather large amount of male characters and how well it fit in, I have added a character of my own into the mix (you'll learn more about her as I add more) possible pairings in the fanfic HIsoka x Tzusuki and Hiriji x Hotaru (my character) I hope you like it! Unfortunately I do not have the privilege of owning Yami no Matsuei, though some day I'd like to have written a manga of my own...

Sakura Blossom

Hisoka and Tsuzuki stood in the lazy breeze, while sakura blossom littered their hair. They stood on a footpath near their office and for some reason had taken the time to make the most of the morning sun. Tsuzuki grinned and ruffled Hisoka's hair, frightening the lingering blossom that blew back into the air. "I told you we'd be really early!" Hisoka looked up as his blush receded and daggers were thrown from his eyes towards his partner "Baka! I told you before, Tatsumi wanted us to be early!" Tsuzuki frowned and cocked his head to the side. "No, he didn't" Tsuzuki said, rather confused. There was a brief silence as something caught Hisoka's attention. Tsuzuki turned to follow the almost-shocked stare of Hisoka, to see someone not far in the distance walking towards them.

This was rather strange. Hisoka never stared, unless at Tsuzuki, and there was plenty of oother people walking in the same direction towards where they stood, the passersby would simply pass by. " 'Soka?" Hisoka still stared. "Hisoka?" Tsuzuki started to get worried, and soon a calm voice from behind Tsuzuki made him jump, Hisoka continued to stare at the stranger behind dark-haired shinigami. "Hello," the voice was female and quite young for how calm and controlled it was. Tsuzuki turned to see a young-looking girl, about Hisoka's age, innocently staring back with the same big, green eyes.

She stood slightly taller than Hisoka, with long, blond wavy hair of the same colour as Tsuzuki's partner's. Her fringe stopped just above her emerald green eyes that stared back at their confused shock. A small, cute nose stuck out from her face, flattening her lightly tanned skin, her lips in an almost-expecting pout. Her clothing was rather alien and plain, a beige strappy t-shirt was overlapped at the waist by grass-stain green trousers that bore a resemblance to jogging bottoms, but a lot more baggy and billowed in the wind. Just below her knees, her weird trousers were overlapped by strange-looking boots, strapped to her legs with bandages and the parts of the boots that encased her feet, looked even more alien. There was a large dent in between where her big toe and other toes went, this was on both feet, they oddly reminded Tsuzuki of flipflops.

Hisoka didn't stare at this girl because of her looks, what was inside her mind was even more new and complex. Hisoka felt the scorching flames of this unknown girl's mind leap out at him in curiosity. The flames swirled around his mind, assessing his mind from every angle. He held his breath in fear, she was an empathy too. He was practically his twin, in female form.

She broke the silence. "Hisoka, breathe." Air suddenly rushed from his lips. She found it easy to speak to the tense shinigami partners.

"I guess the count hasn't passed on a message yet. I was meant to meet you at the office, but I thought I may as well meet you here, as you weren't going anywhere for a little while. I have been a friend of the Count's for a while and he thought I may be of use in the case you are starting today."

Tsuzuki shifted out of his tense state. "Oh." Hisoka soon regained some control from his confrontment. Neither of the male shinigami knew if asking questions was a good idea. There was another long silence. "If we stand here like this, we'll be even more late." Enough time had passed and she, yet again broke the silence.

"oh yeah, almost forgot about that!" Tsuzuki seemed to have been waiting for someone other than himself to break the silence, which Hisoka didn't really understand, but wasn't worried when his partner grinned cheerfully and knew he meant it. "one other thing," the girl said before she turned to face the direction of the office. "My name is Hotaru, and I am glad to be working with you on this case!" She managed to grin towards Tsuzuki, returning his recant one, but nowhere near as cheerful as his was.

Upon their arrival and entrance to the Shinigamis' office, the group of three were greeted with crossed arms and a frowned face, both belonging to an annoyed Tatsumi, which suddenly relaxed when he realised Hotaru was with them. "I guess you've met the newest edition to your group." Tatsumi glared at Hotaru. He thought in his head, 'I thought I told you not to meet until you arrived at the office!' she read his thought. 'I told you this could hit Hisoka badly, he's had a lot happen to him in his time.'

'Im sorry, I was just excited to meet, you know, allies.' She spoke into his mind. 'Just keep an eye on him. For how boring and irritated he looks, he is very emotional.' Tatsumi had accepted Hotaru's apology. 'I know! What do you take me for?' Tatsumi had to hide a snigger when he saw her perfect face shrivelled in mild annoyance. Things were soon discussed among everyone in the room, but almost all information about Hotaru was kept away from conversation.
