You Get Me

A/N: It's been so long! I'm trying to get this done, but seriously it's getting difficult. There are only gonna be 6 chapters so we're almost done here (well more like 7 cuz there will be 2 endings… I couldn't decide how to end it!) I want to apologize for taking so long, school is pretty intense right now and it really has been a while. I get email alerts when you guys review! So remind me okay? Now without further ado (and I know you guys have been waiting for it… Chapter 4: You Get Me

As usual, I own nothing and everyone (along with their respective storylines) belong to their creator. Yay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.O.V. Tsuzuki ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe him! Who does he think he is? I'm in the infirmary and he's acting like an entitled brat!"

I mean really, he's acting like he's the only one who's ever died young. Sure he's only 17… or is he 16…? Doesn't matter! I've had it worse off! Died at 26 with meticulous attempts to kill myself; starvation, sleep deprivation, I only finally died after cutting myself over and over and over…

I looked down at my hands, the memory coming slowly back to me. There are still faint marks on my wrists that never healed… that was over 70 years ago.

"Tsuzuki? Are you alright? I heard the door slam…"

"It's fine Tatsumi, I had a little argument with Hisoka, that's all. He's a real jerk sometimes."

"You've got to give the kid a break, growing up as he did-"

"You mean a spoiled little rich kid?"

Tatsumi shook his head. "No. I mean as an Empath. Normal people don't accept those who are strange and different. His parents thought this way too."

"His parents?"

"They hated him, punished him for no reason, the kind that leave no physical scars… they even planned to kill him."

I really thought about what Tatsumi said, I didn't realize how bad Hisoka had it, and dying at a young age on top of that… Tatsumi looked down at his hands, and I think, though it was hard to tell in the lighting, that they were shaking a bit.

"Tatsumi? What is it?"

"I'm worried about him Tsuzuki, he keeps telling me not to, but I can't help it. Not with all these run-ins with Muraki."

"I've been meaning to ask someone about that. I mean yeah, Muraki's a creep and won't leave me the hell alone, but why does Hisoka care about him so much?"

"I'm not sure how much he remembers about his death, after all it was over a period of time."

"Yeah, he was sick wasn't he?"

"That's not quite right… a couple months earlier, before he came down with the sudden "disease"… and this is the part I don't think he remembers… but Hisoka was…"

"Was what? What is it Tatsumi?"

"Will you just be patient? It's hard for even me to say…"

"Sorry…"

Tatsumi took a shallow breath and I could definitely tell his hands were shaking now.

"Hisoka was raped-"

"WHAT? Are you sure?"

"Yes… and he was placed under a curse. That's what caused his "illness" and I believe it still pains him today."

"I-I had no idea… poor Hisoka. But wait. What does that have to do with-"

"Muraki placed him under that curse."

"And he-"

"Yes."

He cut me off even before I had the chance to think the word. "That's why I worry so much. Even when he says he's okay. You can never tell, you know?"

"Yeah. I know…"

I dropped my gaze. I couldn't bear to look at Tatsumi, not after the fight I had with Hisoka… how could I say such horrible things? Just like Muraki. Damn…

"I've got to go apologize."

"Tsuzuki, you're still on bed rest-"

"I'm basically better already and I really need to talk to him. I said some pretty horrible things…"

"I won't stop you, but be careful, we don't need you hurting yourself worse."

My getting up was slow and meticulous, I was in a surprising amount of pain, guess I'm going back on bed rest… I looked at my hand as I limped down the hall. I don't know why I was drawn to it…my love line…

I just stood there looking at it, remembering the fortuneteller.

"No, I don't have a "special someone", not like that, but the person who's special to me feels horrible, and I know it's my fault…"

A/N: And it's done! I hope it's okay… I wrote this one in 2 days and typed it up as quickly as possible…(I got a review that just made me smile and laugh a bit) so here it is! I can always take constructive criticism… but don't be mean okay guys? I love to hear your reviews. And I really am working on it… Chapter 5 is probably gonna be really short. Just a set up for the end getting ready for the climax and wrap up you know what I mean… I've already got some idea for another story… but I want your guys' opinions… should I write another TsuSoka one or maybe Seto and Joey from Yu-Gi-Oh!… what do you think?
