Disclaimer: I want to make it mine...

Pairing: I never put this pairing part since I try to concentrate on story and character development but this story definitely contains slightly 'boys love' and the main pairing will be Hisoka x Tsuzuki.

EnMaCho

The corridor before the office and the Castle of Candle is on the same level of gloominess. It's so dark here. Tsuzuki always wondered why they never tried to make this place merrier, like putting some light and decorations in here and there. He had been waiting for his two green eyes companion for quite a long time. He never became good at waiting, especially in a gloomy place like this. Just when he decided to go back and check, the two of them come into sight. They didn't talk at all.

"Took you long enough, I'm sick of waiting!! Finished the girls' chit-chat?" Tsuzuki tried to reduce the gloominess they added to this dark place but ended up eating Hisoka's death glare. Sure thing since he said Hisoka-Hisame's chat as girls' chit-chat. He knew exactly how Hisoka hated being said that he looked like girl, still, he said it, digging his own grave.

"Sorry, Tsuzuki-san, let's go in." Hisame pulled his arm. "He's not mad at you," she whispered slowly. Tsuzuki grinned in relieved.

The three of them entered the office. Tsuzuki was the first to enter Chief Konoe's office. Again he slammed it. The door fell down to the floor with big 'bum' sound. Wakaba and the Chief looked to the direction of the sound. Realizing what was happen just now, Chief looked fiercely at the black coat man. "No bonus for you, I cut down your snack expenses for 3 months."

Kamakura, Kurosaki Residence

"Sensei (1), Nagare-sama, please, quickly!!" A woman in maid dress came rushing into Tatsumi and Watari's room. Two of them turned to face the source of voice. It's Miya, Nagare-sama's maid.

"What happen, Miya-san?" Watari prepared his 'fake' doctor things. "Nagare-sama, he..." Tatsumi put his hand to stop Miya, "Save the details for later". Together with Tatsumi and Miya, Watari lead the team and ran to Nagare-sama's room. Eerie feeling filled the room. Nagare-sama was lying on the floor, shrieking in pain.

"This is bad!"

Snake scales appeared everywhere on his skin, covered most of his body. He coughed blood. Surely not a simple common disease, this is definitely a curse, by Yatonokami. Watari examining his patient while Tatsumi contacted Meifu, asked them to send the newbie.

EnMaCho

"I want you two to go to Kamakura right now, to Kurosaki's..." Chief Konoe sat on his chair, his hand folded. "...Kurosaki's house..." he explained everything to them.

Kamakura...I will go back to that place...If I go back, will they...will father and mother accept me as their son this time?

"Hisoka, you okay?" Hisame hold his hand. Hisoka nodded.

"Sorry Kurosaki-kun, I know you don't want to go back but they need you, I mean, Tatsumi and Watari can't handle the case by them alone. Also, please take that girl, Hisame, with you. She will prove useful. "

Again Hisoka nodded. "We will go now."

Tsuzuki looked at him, his mouth opened, seemed like he wanted to protest but he decided not to. He nodded and followed Hisoka leaving the room.

Kamakura, Kurosaki Residence

"I will give you painkiller and anesthetic. You will sleep soon." Watari take the equipments from a big white bag he used while playing doctor.

Nagare-sama barely raised his hand and catch Watari's wrist. "No, just give me painkiller..."

Watari froze for a minute, looking at Tatsumi. Tatsumi nodded. Watari put back his anesthetic and prepare the painkiller. When he injected the painkiller, a hissing come out from Nagare-sama, but a second after, he sighed in relieve. "Thanks doctor, Miya please leaves me with them, and don't tell anybody about this. Understand?" the maid nodded and left the room.

"I guess after seeing that you understand what my disease is?"

The two of them nodded. "All the main family members died like that. My wife will soon die too. This is a curse..." he stood up, "...for killing a god."

"Your son died because of the curse too?" Tatsumi looked at him with investigating eyes.

"Maybe yes, maybe no, let's not talk about him..."

"Why? You hate him?" Watari finished packing his 'doctor' tools.

"...that is my own problem..."

"Well then, I have a request. Our friends will come here and help us. They are experts in curses. Can you allow them to investigate this case?" Tatsumi cut in their conversation.

Nagare-sama walked to the sliding door, examining the paper door. Some papers were covered by blood he coughed. The blood was still fresh. He opened the door and called Miya to clean the blood from his room. The maid nodded and began cleaning the room. The master signed them to follow him to the yard.

"About your request, I can't allow that. I don't want the dark secret of this family exposed to common."

"Don't worry; I'm sure they can put this curse to an end. They're pro and highly secretive. Do not worry, master."

The master silent for a while before nodded. The two shinigami smiled at each other.

Kamakura, In front of Kurosaki Residence

"Ne, Hisoka, your house is so big..." Tsuzuki wore his usual black coat. Sometimes he seemed like a robber if he went out at night. Hisoka always complained how he hated his companion's coat but Tsuzuki ignored all of those. Hisoka used his usual jeans and long sleeve dress.

There is a girl with maid dress coming to their direction, "Excuse me; we are doctor Watari's companion. He asked us to come here. Is he around?"

The girl looked at them curiously at first, and then she nodded, "I will ask my master first. Please wait here for a moment." (2)

She went inside the old but still good building. Tsuzuki curiously tried to look inside. Hisoka sighed and took quite a distance from him. He stood under a big sakura tree. "Nee-san (3), I mean, Hisame, is it okay for me to go back? Won't they recognize my face?"

Hisame brushed his cheek softly and looked at him with care, "Hisoka, remember, for them you've already died. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Hisoka couldn't deny the feeling of happiness that he felt. That was his first time to feel 'family love'. He had longed for them, for such a long time. No matter how Tsuzuki cared for him, it is still different from care given by family. Hisoka secretly formed a simple smile. He never expected this from his long dead sister; he appreciated that, even if she was only a soul.

Not long after his secret conversation with Hisame, the maid came out and guided them through the front garden. The garden was no different from when he was still alive. The only difference was the air is heavier. He could feel the darkness surrounded his house. A minute walking was like an hour. They finally reached the front door, the same front sliding door he used to open. Somehow all these things made him sad. Why he had to come back?

"Ne, Hisoka, why she didn't surprise when she saw you?" Tsuzuki whispered.

"New maid," he replied with whisper too.

"Master, I brought the guests."

They could see the master's shadow from inside the room. The master nodded and told her to go. Tatsumi come out from the room and asked them to go inside. Hisoka hesitantly go inside. A tap from Hisame ensure him to face his parents. He nodded to Hisame and entered the room. Watari sat near the master.

"Welcome, please make yourself...Hisoka!!"

Note:

(1) Sensei - doctor, Watari was pretending to be a doctor here.

(2) No one can see Hisame except the shinigami and those with high spiritual power (like Muraki for example)

(3) Nee-san is older sister in japanese

At last, chapter 4! It took me a long of time to finish this one. Please review!
