­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Start of Part 4: Back in Business

"What's taking them too long? I just hope he didn't tried to make fun out of that Nokoru again", whispered by Yukihiro to himself. It's already 11o'clock in the evening. He stopped playing the computer game 2 hours ago as he noticed that the pasta being cooked his brother left on stove seemed to be overcooked. He started to worry. His brother and friend were been out for 4 hours. Buying a cake near Eli's place wouldn't take an hour. Now that's fishy. "I just hope that there are still fine."

The place where Tsuzuki and Hijiri dated that afternoon was closed. It will open again at 7 in the morning. Along the way to Eli's place, Tsuzuki saw that bakeshop that was supposed to be the destination of Nokoru and Natsuhiko.

"It's been 3 hours and still, there's still no sign that that killer will return its victims back near anywhere the school." Hisoka noticed while roaming around near the school with Tsuzuki.

"I'm hungry. Oy Hisoka! Can we go back to Eli's place? I saw a bakeshop near there. Please." Tsuzuki pleaded that made his partner return an evil glare and with a vein popped on its head.

"Sure but let me tell it to Tatsumi first. Ha-ha!" Hisoka replied to his senior shinigami with an evil laugh and an evil look on his face. To Tsuzuki's surprise, the younger shinigami suddenly changed its mood. "Tsuzuki keep your guard, the killer has returned." He continued as he felt his sweat dripping all over his body while holding his aching head.

Then a sudden cold feeling turned their gaze to its source, a long cast of shadow which seemed to be so familiar approaching them and holding onto something. "I guess this is the 3rd time you caught me in the act boy." The owner of the shadow said who saw Hisoka first then turned to the senior shinigami. "What pleasant surprise. It's so good to see you again, dear Tsuzuki." The owner of the shadow came closer. They were a bit shock at what they saw.

The shadow finally revealed its owner. Silver hair, pale white skin and revealing one icy blue (silver) eye looked familiar to them. What surprised them was the person's height. "Good evening guardians of death. I brought something for you. This will be too convenient for me now. I don't even need to leave a message with my test subject." The little guy smiled.

"It can't be. You can't be him!" Tsuzuki exclaimed.

"I was thinking he could be related to Muraki. Not that he's actually that psycho." Hisoka whispered to his senior and still suffering from the stinging pain in his head.

"You think so? How about if I show you my mind? Would you still think I'm a different person?" The little guy said giving them a very captivating smile. With a snap of his finger, Hisoka came to felt a piercing pain and his old scars made by the doctor suddenly glowed. "He must be really him after all but what's this?"

"Tell me. What's he doing to you?" Tsuzuki said with full of care and holding his partner's trembling shoulders.

"Just showing him something new about what happen when he was still 13. Do you like it boy?" The little guy was smiling towards them.

Hisoka's face was kind of shock. He just couldn't believe on what he was seeing on his mind. "Muraki looked just as young as I was 13. How did that happen?" "Thud!" He became dizzy and fall freely on the street. His scars didn't just glow but instead started to bleed leaving him unconscious.

"So tell me, what's your real name and why are you dressing and pretending like the psycho?" Tsuzuki lifted his partner's body for him to carry.

"I'm Kazutaka Muraki and I'm not pretending. By the way, can I just leave this trash here? I mean this trash failed to be my brother's new body and even failed to give me new arms." Pulling an ice block with something in it, Kazutaka was so happy to see the amethyst eyes' shocked. He made Tsuzuki remember that incident at the house of candles where he was seen without his arms.

"That's the IT man from this school! What have you done to him!!!?" He hugged the boy to his chest upon seeing a bizarre murdered corpse inside the block of ice. Decapitated and arms torn, he can't believe that it was Natsuhiko.

"Aw. You know I'm speaking Japanese here. You've heard what I said. He's a complete failure. He's just a trash. Now come with me if you don't want to see another failed subject of mine left at my lab get the same way." Kazutaka's smile was so cute. Not even a trace of evilness was shown on his face. He reached his hand to the older shinigami.

"At least let me take Hisoka to our apartment first then let's meet again later here." Tsuzuki's voice was trembling realizing that these things are happening again like when they were with Maria Won, Kakyouin and in Kyoto.

"No problem. I'm giving you 5 seconds since I know you could teleport him here and there. 1, 2…" As the count down began, Tsuzuki rushed to teleport Hisoka to their apartment. "…4, 5. Great! You're back. Now let's go."

"He's no different from the old Muraki." Tsuzuki muttered.

11:30 o'clock in the evening. "He must have done something to Nokoru. Could be worst, the psycho killer have them. What should I do?" Yukihiro was been staring outside from his bedroom's window. Assuming that the party was over, he already kept all the things in the kitchen. Unknown to him, his brother was already been slaughtered by that psycho he's been having feared of. "I feel sleepy now, I hope they're fine."

"So what is it you want with me?" Tsuzuki wasn't paying attention to his chocolate cake and cup of coffee. He's glaring at the little man in front of him on the other side of the table. They were actually in that bakeshop near Eli's place.

"Let see. I should have had 15 boys' soul but you were so fast in collecting the 12. I will stop murdering 97 more boys if and only if you could snatch 97 souls from the purgatory, call?" Kazutaka was making a bet. (I think this is kind of scary. This is so not out of my mind!!! It's as if someone whispered this idea to me!!!)

"Huh? Come on! They're repenting their sins. Why give such numbers? What's that for?" Tsuzuki replied.

"I have bet with some friends that they will return my arms and Saki's life if I could collect 100 souls of men or boys. They even lend me someone to use as my body in collecting those and someone who could control ice like this person." Kazutaka said pointing out the body his spirit was actually in now.

"And you believed that crap?" Tsuzuki crossed his arms on his shoulder with such glare for the little man.

"I don't even care if that's a crap. I'm enjoying what am I doing except for the fact that I could only slice them (his victims) and not use them just like what I had done to that partner of yours. This body is too young to do such things I used to do with my old self. This body even loves to eat sweets." Kazutaka took a sip from his coffee and tasted the cake. He even smiled and winked its visible eye on the shinigami.

"You still haven't changed at all during those 2 years passed." Tsuzuki muttered.

"I guess that's correct. Oh well. I'm giving you until daylight to think about it. Here, take this cell phone in case you have decided. I'm off to leave now." The little guy stood up and left Tsuzuki in the bakeshop.

"Dong… Dong… Dong…" The school bell rang so loud at 6 in the morning.

Yukihiro prepared himself for school though still wandering his brother still hadn't returned. He prepared himself a breakfast. "What happened to him?"

"Good morning Mrs. Yawara! I sorry I not greet you Good evening last night." Eli said to the landlady who's cleaning the façade of the apartment.

"Good morning too. It's OK. By the way, another murder happened in that workplace of your. I think you should really quit your job there. Your family might not want to hear such news like that. I think you should go now or you might be late." Mrs. Yawara was not looking in Eli's eyes for she was too busy cleaning the apartment.

"OK." Eli rushed to the bakeshop and bought a Black Forest cake.

Tsuzuki!!! Wake up!!! You'll be late for your work." Hisoka was already dressed up for school. He was shaking Tsuzuki's upper body and even slapped him because he's still asleep.

"Aww. Why did you do that for?" Tsuzuki snorted.

"TSUZUKI WAKE UP!!!" Hisoka barked to his partner. Hisoka's shout had blown Tsuzuki away from his bed and turned to the kitchen.

"Ok ok. I'll make our breakfast now." Tsuzuki cheerfully said but then got hit by his clothes on his face.

"We have no time to taste your poisonous cooking skills. Come. Its already time for school. We could just eat during recess." Hisoka carried his school bag and went outside the door.

"What's the commotion about?" Eli said to one of the students circling near the gate.

"That murderer took another life again and it was Mr. Kano of the IT department." The student pointed out that made Eli dropped the box of cake she was carrying.

"He's gone? Can't be! Not happening!!!" Eli was trembling at the sight of the slaughtered body of her officemate. She even had the sight of Natsuhiko's brother who had fainted about the news.
