WARNING: Shounen-ai. Hisoka X Tsuzuki, Tsuzuki X Tatsumi violence and stuff in later chapters...
A/n: I have never written a Yami no Matsuei fanfic before so if the characters are out of character bare with me. This story is based upon the anime and what I know of the Manga. I have read some of the translations that are available on theria.net, but... I haven't really seen the pages *sob*! Don't worry though, I will order the Manga as soon as I've got enough cash to do so... (Blue-chan lives in Sweden see, so it'll be really hard to get a hand on them...) Yupp! *Nods, agreeing with Evil Inner Voice*
Anyway, Enjoy!!
Oh, by the way! Some of you might recognise the title and yes it's the name of the theme song for FFX, so disclaimer yahoo here as well, ne!

Tatsumi Seiichiro flipped aimlessly through the paper-work, he had already checked them but... Oh well he had nowhere else to be. Sighing he set down the folder on his desk and fixed his glasses, pushing them back up his nose. It was after hours and almost everyone had left the Juugochu office and gone home. Tatsumi, himself and Watari Yutaka, their official Mad Scientist, who was researching some new experiment of his, was the only ones left. Which meant that in the morning they all would have to be careful with any kind of food that he might offer...
Tatsumi chuckled and rose from his seat, he picked up his file and exited his office. He walked down the chilly corridor and entered another office area that had several desks in it and walked up to one of them and placed the file on it. The desk was a mess, there was candy paper everywhere and the rubbish basket was filled to the rim with old boxes for all kinds of sweets and desserts.
Shaking his head and smiling softly, Tatsumi whispered, "Oh, Tsuzuki... You never change." The desk belonged to his old sweet-toothed partner. He loved that man more then a friend... But he would never admit it to anyone, not even himself. Giving another sigh he turned and left for home.
*****
The morning was cold and the eternal teen, Kurosaki Hisoka, awoke freezing. Cursing with very colourful words he got himself out of bed and closed the window angrily then he made his way to the bathroom and turned on the shower. The steaming liquid sped down into the stand and filled the room with a moist warmth. Hisoka enjoyed the change in temperature a while before he stripped out of his pyjamas (a pale-green silk pyjamas that he had got from Tsuzuki).
Just as he was about to enter the shower there came a knock on the door to his apartment.
"Oh great, who the hell could that be... Stupid question, it's probably Tsuzuki. Again." Hisoka turned off the shower and grabbed his yukata as another knock rang through the apartment along with the cheery voice of his older partner.
"Hi~~~soka!! Are you home!? Hiso~~~ka!?"
The emerald eyed shinnigami shook his head and grabbed the doorknob and flung the door open, startling a eavesdropping Tsuzuki who had had the side of his face pressed against the wooden surface.
"What!?" the young irritated shinnigami asked and eyed the staring Tsuzuki with a death glare. Tsuzuki jumped at the harsh tone of Hisoka's voice and looked away.
"You're late, Hisoka... you're usually the one to wake ME up. Are you all right? You have been late for a week now..." Tsuzuki trailed off as he saw that Hisoka was still staring at him.
"I'm fine. Come in and let me take a shower before we leave, okay?" Hisoka didn't wait for Tsuzuki to answer, he just turned to walk back into his apartment and went for the bathroom.
Tsuzuki closed the door after him and walked over to the couch and sat down. Looking around the now familiar flat he noticed the unusual cold in it and wondered why it was like that, Hisoka was more responsible then that. As he continued to muse he caught the sound of the shower being turned back on. He listened to the soothing sound for a while until he was roughly brought back to reality by the sound of Hisoka's startled cry.
Tsuzuki was on his feet and in the bathroom in a moment. He pulled the shower curtain out of the way ad was met by a bright red Hisoka sprawled on the shower floor. Hisoka stared at the older shinnigami as he too turned crimson of embarrassment.
"Hiso-..." Tsuzuki was silenced efficiently by getting the soap smack in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BATHROOM!!!" Hisoka cried and threw a shampoo bottle in the direction of the fleeing shinnigami, Tsuzuki got the bottle in the head and dodged through the door as another followed.
Covering behind the closed door, Tsuzuki blushed. The naked form of Hisoka was truly a joy for the eye, a perfect boy. His thought was cut short by the door slamming into his back as the agitated Hisoka tried to get out of the warm bathroom.
Tsuzuki moved out of the door way and met the eyes of Hisoka. He gave the boy a nervous smile and scratched his head as the eternal teen brushed by him without even a word. The boy made his way over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of boxers and pulled them on (he was wearing the yukata) he then fished out a pair of black pants and a green tight polo-shirt (a/n: a sweater with a high collar... I don't know what the name is in English) and put them on. He then turned to Tsuzuki and a soft pink hue still stained his pale feature.
"Baka." He said after a while and went to the door putting on his jacked he turned to Tsuzuki and said with irritation:
"Are you coming, we were late, weren't we? Tatsumi-san will cut you salary again." At that statement Tsuzuki dashed out the door and was followed by a sighing Hisoka.
*****
Tatsumi and the ever cheerful Watari stood by the door to the meeting room as Tsuzuki and Hisoka arrived at work, late of course.
Tatsumi was holding his folders and files in one hand and a cup of tea in the other and looked at the two as they approached him and the tea-sipping Watari. His former partner seemed a bit distressed and Hisoka was coloured crimson of embarrassment and anger, as they came closer Tatsumi could make out their conversation.
"Hisookaaa~ I didn't mean to see you naked, it just happened!! I thought you hurt yourself!!" Both Tatsumi and Watari choked on their tea and stared at the two.
Hisoka, noticing the other two shinnigamis stares, turned to Tsuzuki and yelled, "URUSAI!!" into his face. Tsuzuki, who instantly sprouted Puppy ears and tail and turned chibi, gave a yelp of hurt and surprise.
Turning away from the adorable Tsuzuki, Hisoka stormed past the two staring shinnigamis. Tsuzuki walked downhearted after his partner and was about to enter the meeting room, when a firm grip on his left shoulder stopped him. Looking up he met the two smiling amazingly blue eyes of Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi..." Tsuzuki said and gave a soft smile in return.
"Tsuzuki... I have bought your favourite dessert (a/n: or desert I have no idea which it is) for today's meeting, cinnamon roll. So, please Tsuzuki... smile for me." Tsuzuki thought about that comment for a few seconds before his sweet-loving mind blanked out every other thought except the words "I bought... cinnamon roll."
"Sankyuu, Tatsumi!" he shrilled and gave Tatsumi the reward he wanted. A bright happy smile.
Watari only shook his head and petted his tame owl, 003, on her head and went into the meeting room, followed by the bouncing puppy-Tsuzuki and the contentedly smiling (slightly annoyed) Tatsumi.
When all was seated (Tsuzuki still in his puppy form but not chibi) and Konoue had entered the room, the meeting began.
"The Juugochu office building is finished with the repairs of the damage caused by Suzaku," all heads turned to Tsuzuki with sympathy looks in their eyes, Tsuzuki (back to normal) only fell dangerously quiet and stared in front of him.
"And we have a mission for all you four." A silence fell in the room as all turned shocked eyes to Konoue.
"Wh-what do you mean, Boss? How can a mission need four shinnigamis?" Watari was the one who voiced the thoughts of all the others in the room. Tatsumi, who stood by Konoue's side, nodded mutely.
"There has been over a hundred killings during this night in Kyoto, your area Watari-kun, and they have all been slain in the same manner but in various locations throughout the city..." Konoue sighed and pulled out a folder from his briefcase and from it he brought a fifty or so photos of various victims, all male in their teens or early twenties, all of whom had had their heads ripped from their body and had had spell runes carved upon their flesh.
Hisoka turned away from the pictures paler then ever, and Tsuzuki stared at them in silence along with Tatsumi. Watari was the one who flipped through the photos biting his lips.
"As you see, they all have had their heads severed from their bodies and that they're all male, young men." Konoue continued and all nodded gravely.
"all these attacks occurred around midnight and three in the morning. The markings on their body is..."
"Summoning Incarnations." Tsuzuki finished and all heads turned to watch him. He didn't notice though as he picked one of the pictures up and studied it with a strange look in his eyes.
"Yes that is correct, Tsuzuki-kun." Konoue nodded at himself and braided his fingers in front of his face.
"They're Summoning Incarnations, and they all belong in the same spell. What I want you all to do is to enter the Gensoukai and speak with your shikigamis, Tsuzuki, and see who of their kind needs sacrifices to be summoned and then take care of the person causing these murders."
All of them nodded and Konoue rose from his seat and handed a file to his secretary and left the room.
A heavy silence spread in the already quiet room. At long last Tatsumi spoke up.
"We should find Wakaba-san and have her open the gate for us, then..." his voice was distant as he watched the unhappy Tsuzuki rise from his seat and walk out of the room. Hisoka's and Watari's eyes both fell on Tatsumi with worry in them. 'Why do they always rely upon me in these situations..?' he thought and collected the pictures and placed them back in their folder with a sigh.
*****
The four shinnigamis walked solemnly up the corridor of Tsuzuki's shikigami Tenkuu, which was the palace his other eleven shikigamis reside in. Their stroll was halted as the intriguingly handsome Souryuu came and greeted them with a very formal tone.
"Tsuzuki-dono, what brings you and your friends here?" Tsuzuki shuddered and smiled meekly at his shikigami (he was extremely afraid of Souryuu).
"We came to ask a question..."
"Yes..." Souryuu watched Tsuzuki's weak smile disappear, which he didn't like. Tsuzuki was just about to answer when he was cut short by a form tackling him to the ground with a happy sound.
It was Byakko, the cute cat-human sat on top a blushing Tsuzuki and raised his hand in a greeting.
"Yo! Tsuzuki, I never thought you were here! ^_^" he said and grinned happily.
The other three shinnigamis only shook their heads at the scene. Soon to follow Byakko into the room (not onto Tsuzuki, though;;) was Touda, Taimou, Suzaku and all the other of Tsuzuki's shikigamis.
They all greeted their master and politely welcomed his friends to the Gensoukai. "What brings you here?" was the main question.
Tsuzuki, still unhappy, gave them all a sad smile and beckoned for silence and he began to tell them about the killings.
"Around a hundred young men has been killed, all has been beheaded and their bodies all have the summoning-spell carved into their flesh." Tsuzuki stopped as he heard the sharp intake of breath from Touda (a/n: I just had to have him in this story... ^_^ Isn't he gorgeous!?).
"What..? Souryuu asked as he turned to the handsome fire serpent shikigami and stared at him.
"Tsuzuki..." Touda turned to his master, ignoring Souryuu. "I think I know who they are trying to summon."
