Who needs to talk? Let's just get on with the chapter.
Chapter Nine
Blood drips to the ground, splashing when it hits. Eyes lock onto their targets, glaring intensely. Exhaling lets a foul smell escape, finding its way to nostrils. Hisoka and Misuzu let disgust show on their face as they stared at Kite.
"Kurosaki, please tell me I'm just high and am not seeing a fucked up dog."
"You wish you were high at the moment."
"Ok… You're the shinigami, what should we do?" Hisoka rattled his brain for an answer. He couldn't come up with one and it was pissing him off. He slowly reaches for the gun that was hidden under his shirt tucked in his pants. Realizing what the boy was doing, Kite drops Sora and steps in front of her corpse. Kite shows his black and yellow twisted teeth and begins to give a warning growl. Hisoka freezes his hand over the gun and glances at Misuzu. She catches his eye and shakes her head; she was not about to do this.
"You asked what we should do, so don't dismiss it," he whispers to her.
"… When exactly?"
"As soon as I shoot." Misuzu thinks for a moment before nodding. Kite takes two steps forward. As if on cue Hisoka quickly takes his gun out and pulls the trigger hitting Kite's half detached eye; with the first shot Misuzu turned and took off running. Kite howls before pawing violently at Hisoka; Hisoka manages to dodge shooting Kite in the throat multiple times. He then shoots the dog directly in the forehead. Logic would tell that anything living that gets shot in the head would go down; Kite did not. Instead of attacking again, Kite whimpers and charges blindly. Hisoka was shoved into a brick wall, but within contact he sent an energy blast directly into Kite's heart.
Misuzu comes to a halt when she hears footsteps; footsteps that where coming from in front of her. She was not afraid of the footsteps that sounded confident, she was actually curious. Deciding to wait for the owner of these footsteps, Misuzu begins to walk slowly towards them. She soon spins around when a loud whine meets her back. Stumbling towards her was Kite. Eyeing behind him she hoped to see Hisoka; she did not. Kite pauses for a moment and takes in Misuzu. Misuzu blinks once only to have Kite directly in her face. She stiffens and holds her breath. Kite's good eye turns a crustal blue color which Misuzu notices a change in his presence.
"Misuzu be a good girl and come with me," leaves Kite's mouth. Misuzu got the feeling it was not his own.
"Who are you?" she questions with confidence.
"You will find out soon enough. No need to rush things. Now Misuzu agree to come with me, and I can make your wish come true."
"Wish?... Why should I trust you?" She hears a chuckle from behind her. Trying to turn around Kite places his fang to her throat.
"Master… wants… you," came a chopped and struggled response. Instinct kicked in causing Misuzu to plant her palm on the dog's chest trying to shove it off; one thought running through her head. Get away from me. Misuzu then felt something trickle out of her fingers and dig its way inside Kite; the feeling of someone separating consumed her. Kite soon becomes limp after a gunshot echoed through the air.
"His..Oka" Misuzu accidentally lets leave her mouth as she sees the younger shinigami with the gun pointed at Kite's back. Kite's snout brushes against Misuzu's right eye causing it to feel irritated.
"Thank…You," Kite forced out before falling with a thud to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Hisoka asks running to her. She glances at Kite before giving her attention to him. She simply nods. Hisoka gives a sigh of relief and returns his gun to its resting place. Misuzu begins to rub at her right eye.
"What do we do with the dog?"
"… I'm not sure… Is something wrong with your eye?"
"Well it itches like hell." Hisoka ignores her for a moment and kneels down to Kite. As he goes to touch the dog, Kite morphs into black liquid and the dissolves into the air.
"I swear I am either high or drunk as fuck."
"Kazutaka you have a foul mouth"
"Thank you captain obvious… Do I have to report to you if something happened?"
"Yes." He stands and crosses to her. He then grabs her wrist and pulls her arm to him. "One, stop rubbing your eye you may harm it. And two, what did happen? I told you to run."
"No you indicated that I should run. And…. He said his master wants me."
"Master?... Did it say who?" Misuzu shakes her head causing Hisoka to sigh. Misuzu uses her free hand to rub her right eye again. "Would you stop?"
"It itches ok… It feels like" she abruptly stops talking, left eye growing wide.
"What?"
"It feels like something is crawling in there." Hisoka and Misuzu waited a moment before both of them began removing her bandages. Letting the bandages hit the ground Misuzu slowly opened her right eye and looked at Hisoka. "Well?!" he searches for a moment before glancing back at the spot Kite was. "Hisoka!" he looks back at her.
"Calm down. There isn't anything crawling in or out of your eye… But… Did that dog do something to you?"
"… No… Wait after you shot it, its snout slightly touched the bandages over my right eye… Why?!"
"Can you see?"
"Yes I can see! But what does that have to- Oh"
"Exactly… three weeks turned into a few days. I can't even tell that the right side of your face was injured." Misuzu covered her right eye and took his words in. She then quickly turned around.
"Hisoka, earlier before you shot the dog someone was talking through it. I believe that person was actually here, somewhere behind me." Hisoka put his guard up.
"What makes you say that."
"I heard footsteps and then someone laughing after I answered-"
"Why did you answer?!" Hisoka growls grabbing Misuzu by the shoulders.
"Was that bad?"
"Sometimes answering creatures like the dog can give the enemy the advantage. Whoever is after you could easily get ahold of you."
"…My bad Hisoka…I won't do it again." His eyes scan down an inch causing him to sigh.
"You and Tsuzuki are a handful," Hisoka says. Misuzu raises an eyebrow before touching her neck. Removing her hand she saw blood.
"Great. First my eye and now my neck."
"You can fix that when we get to the hotel."
"Hotel?" She questions running up to him once he began walking off.
"We need to tell Tsuzuki what happened, plus it would be easier to protect you with you there."
"How do you even know it is after me?" Hisoka looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Ok stupid question. But serious Hisoka what if I'm just in the wrong place at the wrong time?"
"Hisoka?" Misuzu tenses.
"I meant Kurosaki, damn." She walks ahead of him while he rolls his eyes.
"Damn you Kazutaka! Damn you!" Sayori howls. She begins to cackle loudly, leaning against a building. Sayori pulls out a small voodoo doll and hovers a needle over its eye. The red head soon drops both when someone pulls her off the wall and spins her toward him. Her eyes grow wide. "M-master?!"
"What do you suppose you are doing Sayori?"
"I… I was just…"
"I hope you weren't using that doll to hurt my Misuzu. If that were the case then I would have to punish you."
"No sir I wasn't. I was only going to put the plan into motion," Sayori tries to hold back her fear.
"I see… Well Sayori dear I am happy to announce that our plan is postponed for a while."
"P-postponed?"
"Yes. I am willing to see how far her relationship can evolve with Hisoka Kurosaki and Tsuzuki Asato."
"But Muraki-" He places a finger to her lips.
"Shhh. All good things come to those who wait. You will get your reward Sayori, you must wait for it first. I'd hate for you to become impertinent." He grins at her while caressing her face.
"Yes master Muraki… I'll wait… I'll do anything for you."
"That is a good girl Sayori." He places a small kiss on her cheek.
