"I feel sorry for that poor girl." Asato Tsuzuki had said as he rinsed off some strawberries. "Died at such a young age and heartbroken to append."
"Yup." I simply said pouring a great amount of sugar in a bowl. I just didn't really empathize Tsubaki.
"You sound like you really care, Sakuya." He said sarcastically handing me the clean strawberries.
"It shows?"
"Maybe you should talk to Hisoka- I mean, he's been depressed ever since we got back." He told me eating one of the strawberries.
"What if he doesn't want to talk about it? And I just might make it worse on him! I don't think it's something he'd want to discuss with me…" I pointed out. I then pulled out a large knife and started cutting the strawberries tops off. And then I shall dice the little-
"I bet it'd be the best if it were you." Tsuzuki added putting on a sweet smile.
"Why would it be best if it were me?" I asked feeling a bit happy of what he said.
"Hey, so what are we making anyway?" He ignored my question completely! Don't piss me off when I have a knife!
"Hisoka!" I really wanted to talk to him, and yet I didn't. Maybe I just wanted him to be in his normal self again. No matter what it takes!
"What are you doing here, Sakuya?" Hisoka asked me sounding surprised. "Aren't you suppose to be at school?"
"Are you okay Hisoka?" I asked laughing a bit. "It's Saturday, you know, the weekend? No school?"
"Oh, the week went by pretty fast I guess…"
It has been a week since we got off that ship. "Well then… Are you busy?" I asked hesitating a bit.
"I don't think there's anything I need to do today. Why?"
"I was just wondering if you'd wanna go do something with me… You know, like we used too?"
He stood up with his hands in his pockets. "What did you have in mind?"
"A walk? Heh, heh…" I wonder if that would bore him.
"Just walk and talk like old times?" I nodded. "Sure." Hisoka had said with one of those rare smiles to go along with it. He then offered me one of his hands from his pockets and I gladly accepted it.
Back on the ship, that what's-her-face… Tsubaki! Yeah, she was really pissing me off. Hisoka and me are just companions, friends, and now associates, but the way Baki was acting around him just made me berserk! I admit I was jealous—but not the way people would think! Hisoka had warmed up to her quicker than he had to me. And in the sixteen years I've known the guy, he most likely still doesn't absolutely trust me.
Well, going back to the ship… Tsuzuki had been a dealer at the casino and Hisoka and me were to play the owner's 'lovely' children.
"Tis a nice boat. Tis a very nice boat." I said smiling. I took a sip of… a sip of this 'wine', which Tsuzuki replaced with mountain dew for Hisoka and mine's safety.
I then though I should take a walk around, I mean, nothing better to do. Note to self- guy's eye's on Sakuya is very awkward… But I found a solution… Solution meaning standing in the middle of the dance floor so the dancing couples would cover me…
I almost jumped when I felt the arm of a guy who had just passed me, link through mine. So after recovering from my two-second angst attack, I turned around and saw Hisoka. He was still facing away from me though.
"Stay close to me." He whispered before letting go and going on to his regular business. I followed him to a poker table where Tsuzuki was dealing cards to the ships guests.
"You must be the daughter." A voice said from behind. Both Hisoka and me turned around at the same time to see Ms. Hojo pulling on my arm. "Your father has told us that you're quite a beautiful singer. Now, I didn't know if he meant physical beauty or if your singing was the beauty of you."
"Maybe it's both." A man said. "We'll never know till you sing for us." He insisted with a smile.
"Um…" is all I could say, so I turned to Hisoka for help.
"Well, go ahead." He said pushing me towards the group.
"Well, what do you want me to sing?"
"Anything you'd like." Ms. Hojo said.
Hisoka just shook his head. But he didn't leave my side! Wait… Now he's leaving… "Hisoka! Come back- I was gonna sing a song about us!"
"Well, go on."
"Uh, okay…" I couldn't think of anything right now, so I looked around for Hisoka or Tsuzuki to get me out of this. I couldn't get Tsuzuki to help me 'cause he was speaking with another man. And Hisoka… was with another girl? I turned away and looked at Tsuzuki again. He didn't look too comfortable with that other… guy… Gawd, I'm slow. I guess I should get Hisoka…
So I walked up to where he was dancing with Tsubaki. "What's wrong Sakuya?" he asked when he noticed me standing right next to him. I pointed to where Tsuzuki was and Hisoka glared towards Muraki. "Wait here." Now I didn't know if he had told me or Tsubaki to stay put, but before I could make up mind on whether to stay or go with Hisoka, she spoke.
"Ciao." Said Tsubaki as she took my hand, but I stayed silent. "Oh, that's 'hello' in Italian." She said like I was some kind of child. I know what it means! "You don't look Japanese, but you have some Italian features."
"Thanks?" somebody's too observant.
"My name is Tsubaki. And you must be Sakuya. Am I right?"
"Yeah." Leave me alone woman. I paid no attention to her. Instead, my eyes followed to where Tsuzuki and Muraki were and just waiting for Hisoka to come into view and save him. Tsubaki glanced over to where I was staring.
"Oh, Doctor Muraki!" Tsubaki yelled pulling me over with her. No! I don't want to go!
"Dr. Muraki!" Both Tsuzuki and Hisoka turned towards Tsubaki and me. Muraki had slowly turned around and faced us.
"Are you having fun my dear?" he asked grinning.
"Oh yes doctor!" Tsubaki shouted.
"I was talking to this young sweetheart." Muraki said before taking my hand. And sweetheart?
I stayed quiet as Hisoka snatched my hand back. He then turned to Tsubaki. "We should take our depart now. Good night." He said before pulling me away.
