Chapter Nine
Katt: Ok you guys here's chapter nine of " Tsuzuki, Will You?" , but before anything else I do not own "Yami no Matsuei" nor do I own "Phantom of the Opera", but I do own Seren and Katsumi and Misaki, oh and course warning: There will be some yaoi and a little bit of yuri too.
Tsuzuki: Katt! You said you'd start it last night.
Katt: No, I said I had dishes and clothes.
Tatsumi: But you did agree to work on it between clothes washing though
Katt: By the time I was done with the pans it was already time for bed, now the longer we argue the longer it takes for me to start the chapter
Tsuzuki: Ok then start it please (covering Tatsumi's mouth so they don't continue to argue.)
Katt: Ok, well ladies and gents...on with the show!
" NO!" screamed Katsumi, trying to get away, but he already has a good grip on her.
" Your mine...Katsumi!" said Muraki
He grabs a rope that's near by him, giving it one tug as the sign as Ukyou lets the lever down to release one side of it to pull them up just as Tsuzuki got to the top and jumps at them, missing them completely.
" NO! Katsumi!" screamed Tsuzuki
" Mama!" screamed Katsumi as she continues going up to the highest walk bridge.
He stands up on the bridge, trying to get his balance. There at that moment he feels his arm pulled up and off the bridge and continueing being puleld up on the rope only to see Tatsumi.
" Tatsumi?"
" I had to do something. Thank Hisoka and Watari later, lets get our girl back." said Tatsumi as they keep going up to the exact walk bridge that Muraki and Katsumi was on that leads them to the roof.
They make it to the roof, all dark,cold and quiet. Where the only light you have is the few from the street and the light from the stars. From afar is where they see Muraki holding onto a struggling Katsumi with Misaki with them. They treaded carefully towards Muraki before he said anything.
" Any closer you two and she's dead." said Muraki, so bluntly that he seems to be serious.
" What do you want with her Muraki?" said Tsuzuki
" Oh, it's not what I want...it's what Misaki wants. You see all she came here for is Katsumi, to take back to the future with her."
" That's not Misaki's choice to choose for Katsumi wheither she goes back to the future or not." said Tatsumi
" You are correct. So I am willing to make a deal with you. I shall return your beloved daughter to you...for Tsuzuki."
" What!" said Tatsumi
" No! don't do it. If you give mom to him then my future as well as yours are gone. Mom don't give in...please!" Katsumi pleaded to her parents. She didn't care if Misaki took her back to the future to haunt her for all eternity, as long as they stay together.
" Well Miss Katsumi Seiichiro, your becoming a nuesence. Misaki take Katsumi."
" My pleasure."
She grabs Katsumi from Muraki around the waist, holding her greedily. The grip was so tight Katsumi felt the air knocked out of her. They thought quickly, they didn't want to give in so easily, but they didn't want to see her taken away.
" What are we going to do?" whispered Tsuzuki
" I...I don't know Tsuzuki. I really don't know. It's almost like that nightmare we had a while back remember?" whispered Tatsumi
" Yes, but at the end, when she said " Shadows and magic can't work on me alone. Try saving your daughter now." what does that mean?"
" Maybe...maybe" said Tatsumi before getting interrupted
" I don't have the patience, make your choice. The Girl...or The Lover. Remember once you've made your choice there's no going back now." said Muraki
" Muraki!..." said Tatsumi before once again getting interrupted.
" No Muraki! I will never go with you, not now and not in a million years will I ever go with you!" said Tsuzuki
" Well, if that's it. It's now the point of no return from here. Misaki, take Katsumi away." said Muraki
" Yes...father."
As she heads up, floating into the night air, Tsuzuki charges straight to Muraki, only to notice at the last second that he's about to be tackled over the edge of the theatre with Tsuzuki.
" Wha!" screamed Muraki.
A hard tackle into the stomach by Tsuzuki's shoulders. Up and over the edge as Tatsumi runs over, hoping he'd catch Tsuzuki before he went over, but was too late...or was he?
A call from not to far away came to Tatsumi. He turns around to see a magnificent bird of feathers firery red, orange and yellow. It was as if it was on fire and not hurting the enormously beautiful bird. With such awe turned to groans when it spoke up.
" What? you act as if you've never seen a phoenix before."
" Masaru?"
" Yes, now climb on my back before we lose Tsuzuki."
He climbs on, holding tight as he takes off and does a nose dive to Tsuzuki who's punching Muraki at the moment, trying to get away. He hears Tatsumi call to him and reaches out to grab the offered hand and is pulled up in front of Tatsumi, leaving Muraki to fall down into the piles of fallen snow from when it snowed earlier that night during the show.
Masaru kept flying, trying to catch up to Misaki and Katsumi now. Trying to get as close as he can without being hit with something Misaki throws at him. Tsuzuki still not believing that he's on the back of a phoenix nonetheless that it's Katsumi's shikigami.
" Masaru? but I thought Katsumi told you to go back to the future?" said Tsuzuki
" Yeah and she tells me I shouldn't eat peanut butter and bird seed together, but you think I listen."
" Well she is your master, shouldn't you listen." said Tatsumi
" Oh I listen when it comes to protecting her and anyone else, but all in all her parents overrun her orders. She tells me to stay in our time, her parents tell me to go with her. She tells me to go, they tell me to stay. It's how it works until she's eighteen."
" Tatsumi, before this happened you were saying something about the dream." said Tsuzuki
" Yes, Masaru, hurry and fly as close as you can to Katsumi and Misaki. Tsuzuki, remember what she said in the dream, shadows and magic can't work on her alone. Tsuzuki grab as many o-fudas as you can hold and start charging them. When we get close, I'll hold on to you. We stand up and on the count of three we take a running leap towards them. Everything else will work on it's own." said Tatsumi
" What?! isn't that dangerous?"
" Masaru, catch us when we start to fall down."
" Yes Tatsumi."
As they get closer and closer, Tatsumi helps Tsuzuki stand up ontop of Masaru's back. Tsuzuki having his o-fudas ready at hand. When they get as close as they can without being noticed. Holding tightly, Tatsumi does the count down and off they go, jumping up high enough to almost grab Misaki by the collar, but instead they start chanting, with the o-fuda at hand.
" Shadows and Magic of the new and old world. With your permission...we combine our powers into this o-fuda to stop the evil that's causing chaos." said both Tatsumi and Tsuzuki
Shadows starts sinking into the o-fuda as it glows a soft light around it. As it glows with power of both Tatsumi's powers and Tsuzuki's, so do they.
" Tatsumi!" said Tsuzuki, smiling at his loved one
" Tsuzuki!" said Tatsumi, smiling back at him.
" Take this woman from a time beyond our own down...NOW!"
Just as they finish the chant was the only time Misaki had noticed them. She turned her back to them and try to fly faster, but the o-fuda hits it's target on the back. Electricuting her all over her body, causing no harm to Katsumi. With her screams of pain, it causes her to let Katsumi go as Tsuzuki at the last minute while the other o-fudas still had their powers in it, did a quick chant and tossed the o-fudas under her as they are caught by Masaru.
A black hole forms right underneath her. As she falls in Tsuzuki tosses one more by them and watches as she falls up out of it and Tatsumi catching her, pulling her between them.
In that time as they fly off to a safe distance, Muraki gets out of the snow after gaining consciousness enough to see Misaki getting electricuted and starts falling down as the o-fuda on her back burns out and the electricity stops.
He runs towards her as she falls deep down into the snow, finding her unconcious. He picks her up and holds her close as Ukyou comes out with a wrap, seeing Misaki like that, she wraps her wrap around her. He looks up towards the sky to see if he can see them and sees that they weren't anywhere in sight.
Disgusted with himself not being able to handle this situation better, he carrys Misaki back to the theatre with Ukyou next to him. Planning what to do with Tsuzuki and Tatsumi now that they seemed to have found a weakness on Misaki and plans to take revenge for her.
When they get to a safe landing, Masaru returns back to his small eagel size self. Tsuzuki and Tatsumi held Katsumi in their arms. So glad to see her after so close of losing her at that point. She smiled, she knew they would be able to do it. Though Tsuzuki wanted to ask Katsumi about what just happened with Misaki.
" So how did we do that, other then chanting something at the last minute." said Tsuzuki
" It's the only thing that is stronger then Misaki, when our powers are combined. Though I don't know how we even knew to chant that." said Tatsumi
" It's easy. It wasn't the chant, well it gave you guys the start up to be able to combine your powers, but you've never needed it. I know this sounds cheesy, but it was your devotion and love towards each other that makes it possible to even combine them nonetheless use them together." said Katsumi.
" And you knew this how?" said Tatsumi
" Don't ask me, you two predicted it in that nightmare of yours. Remember? well apparently you didn't see the rest and I'll just have to show you when we get home." said Katsumi
Then she looks down at Masaru and has the face of an angry Tatsumi. It wasn't pretty and when Masaru thought he was going to get yelled at once again, she smiled gently and petted his head.
" Thank You Masaru, for once your disobeying me was for a good reason."
" I only disobey you cause I care about you."
" Right, lets go home."
" Home...sounds like a good place to be now." said Tatsumi
The next day the case was finally closed, to reveal that it had been Misaki who's left the nightmares and been killing the women. The extra bite marks came from Muraki like they figured. Though was interest Konoe was how Tatsumi and Tsuzuki combined their powers in such a way that was never done before.
" Ok, so explain to me again, how?" said Chief Konoe.
" As far as Katsumi has explained to us, it was...our devotion and love that made it possible to even combine our powers." said Tsuzuki
" Even though this has never happened before." said Chief Konoe
" Has it ever been done before. I mean I know you can do energy transfer to be able to cast a spell, but has anyone really combined powers to create their own?" said Watari
" That's true, I don't believe it has been. Well we learn something new all the time, don't we. Heh heh."
Sighs go all around as Konoe has his moment. As they leave the meeting room, they've noticed something was different with Katsumi in there and since last night. She has had that thoughful look since last night and nothing else. Tsuzuki and Tatsumi were getting worried.
Just when things seemed to finally be calming down, they heard and explosion coming from Watari's lab and it just wouldn't be a normal day without it. Ther coming out, smoke filled and all was Watari holding a green vile of liquid in it. Smiling all the way to Hisoka, where Tsuzuki and Katsumi were and Tatsumi just coming around the corner.
" I did it! I got the reversal serum for that truth potion." said Watari with glee
" Thank Goodness, so lets just get this over with."
Hisoka takes the given vile and downs it. Waiting for something to happen and nothing does.
" Watari...I think this one is a dud. Huh?"
Then a poof of smoke came out of nowhere, covering Hisoka all over. When it clears...Hisoka is still the same. Though they had to test it out.
" Ok Hisoka...do you love me?" said Watari
" No...wait...I was able to lie..."
" YES! the potion works!"
" Hmm, but I feel weird. "
He heads on to the bathroom and notices something wasn't right...not right at all.
" WATARI! IT'S GONE!"
" Wait, do you mean?" said Tsuzuki
" I think I subtracted something from him..."
" What the...NO! I can't believe you turned that half of me into a..."
" Well atleast half of the potion works, now if I can seperate the sex-change from the anti-truth serum."
" WATARI!"
" Ahh, coming Hisoka."
As he rushes over to the mens room, all three of them couldn't help but laugh. Then coming into the room with laptop and all was Seren with a celebratory chocolate cake, which Tsuzuki absolutely adored. As they ate Seren had some news for Katsumi.
" Hey Katsumi, guess what?"
" What Seren."
" We're going to have a office here. They said that we did such a great job on this case they want atleast two dream shinigami's here and they chose us."
" Gee, getting rid of two secretaries for such a good purpose." said Katsumi sarcastically
" But that's just it. We come back twice a month to file and do pay stubs." said Seren
" Oh yeah, well I guess that's not so bad, but Seren I do ask one favor of you..."
" Yeah?"
She stands up to look at everyone in her most serious way she could. It was something she believed she had to do and had to do it soon.
" I need you to watch things until I come back."
Leaving all three of them surprised, Tsuzuki and Tatsumi didn't even know she was leaving. Was she leaving for home? or somewhere else? She stands there waiting for their reaction.
" What? where are you going?" said Tsuzuki
" I'm going back...to my time. I got to check up on things over there. See if they've still alive." she says shyly and quiet
" But...Katsumi..." whispered Tatsumi.
" I'm going back, so...Tatsumi...Tsuzuki...will you? Will you two come with me...to the future?"
" To..." said Tsuzuki stunned by this
" The Future?" said Tatsumi just as stunned.
" Yes...will you?"
Ok that's the end.
Tsuzuki and Tatsumi: What?!
Katt: Yup, that's how I've wanted to end it, so I can start the third fanfic.
Tsuzuki: But...to the future?
Katt: Yup and it should be a interesting one, so everyone review and I'll try to get it started. So till next time, Ja Ne.
