Eleventh chapter :DDDDD I know I use these smileys a lot but they make me feel happy! :33 I wanted to release this yet today and tomorrow I will release two more and maybe even the last one! But I think I have more work in the last one compared to the earlier ones so I might release the 14th chapter on Tuesday :)

...

They had managed to clean the whole building inside a week. Everyone had volunteered to work overtime and try to clean at least some rooms so that they could continue working while the destroyed part was rebuilded. Hisoka was really sad because their library had been destroyed again, not completely, but this time it got nothing to do with Tsuzuki at least. Luckily Hisoka wound some rare books unharmed and he treasured them, putting them to a box and took them to his apartment for the time being because they had no extra space in here.

Watari told Hisoka he could start to exercise a little bit and try to train his muscles. He shouldn't wait for too long. Hisoka followed the order with pleasure but he realised it was lot harder than he had thought. His muscles, bones, joints and everything was hurting.

Somehow I even regret growing up!

"But now Tsuzuki can't keep you as a child! If you are still serious about him?"

I know I told him to forget it and that it was only my teenage mind playing tricks on me but still...

"You can't stop loving him so easily, can you?"

I guess not. But you are pretty talkative, you know?

"Why not? It's nice to have some company! Maybe you should visit me at the imaginary world someday! We could have a serious fight this time!"

No thanks. You are already my shikigami so I see no sense in a fight between you and me. It's a waste of energy.

"It's not waste of energy or time. It would be a good practise for you too!"

Hisoka thought the suggestion for a second.

I will consider it. Maybe after I have healed completely.

Hisoka continued his work out-session and Kurikara was quiet for a while.

"Hey Hisoka..."

What? You have something in your mind?

"I just thought...where is that man? The enemy who created those monsters?"

Hisoka stopped in a middle of his weightlifting and the weight dropped from his hold on the floor.

We totally forgot him! How is that possible!

Hisoka rushed out of the gym and rushed into Tatsumi's office.

"What is it Hisoka?" Tatsumi asked," Can't you even knock the door?"

Hisoka backed off a little and knocked the door.

"Really funny." Tatsumi said and smiled. Almost,"What's your business with me?"

"I...well...Kurikara realised we had forgotten about that man behind this attack!"

"What?! How could we..." Tatsumi cursed. Almost,"Well, I have no choice. Could you and Tsuzuki look for him? Tooru and Mayumi have their hands full with their new assignment already."

"Okay. Do you know where Tsuzuki is?"

"Last time I saw him was at the bakery down the street. He was drooling there as usually."

"Thanks." Hisoka said and left the room.

Hisoka found Tsuzuki inside the bakery as he had suspected. He had an enormous piece of chocolate cake in front of him.

"Skipping work again, Tsuzuki?" Hisoka cleared his throat.

"Hisoka! Please don't tell Tatsumi, nee?" Tsuzuki begged.

"I won't because I don't have to. He knows already."

"He...knows? Did he say something?"

"No. But anyway, we have to finish up the case were it was left to."

"Case? What case?" Tsuzuki wondered.

"The man behind this attack is still somewhere and Tatsumi ordered us to find him" Hisoka explained,"And I think our best lead is to go back to the factory."

Tsuzuki gulped and stared at Hisoka.

"Okay", Tsuzuki said but didn't move," May I finish my cake before we go?" again his invisible tail was wagging.

Those puppy-eyes...I can't refuse!

Hisoka sighed deeply," Okay, just eat it, but quickly!"

Hisoka sat down to the opposite chair of Tsuzuki's. He turned to look out of the window.

"Where you working out at the gym?" Tsuzuki asked. He saw the sweatdrops on Hisoka's skin and trailed one down to his chest. He didn't even notice staring it before Hisoka cleared his throat again. Tsuzuki blushed slightly. He had to admit Hisoka looked gorgeous.

"Yeah. Watari suggested that I should start to train my body", Hisoka explained,"Otherwise my muscles won't build up to the maximum power and they will stay weak for the rest of my shinigami life."

Tsuzuki just nodded and continued eating his cake. He didn't notice Hisoka looking at him.

I don't know what to do with you, Tsuzuki...

...

They arrived at the factory soon. Soon after Tsuzuki had finished his cake. Tsuzuki had complained about stomach ache and Hisoka said it was because he eats too much sweets.

"You should control youself, Tsuzuki!" Hisoka preached.

"Sorry! But I can do nothing about the fact that I like sweets!"

"You do like sweets? What a surprise!" Hisoka joked. Tsuzuki didn't feel like laughing, however, while he was clutching his stomach.

Hisoka didn't even need to use his empathy to sense were those monsters had came from. There was a clear path which trailed all the way to the some sort of basement door. Hisoka ordered Tsuzuki to open the door carefully while Hisoka was keeping watch. Nothing attacked them when the door had opened so they went inside.

"How didn't we notice this the last time? This door is huge!" Hisoka cursed. The hallway took them somewhere below the ground and it was getting dark.

"You need to see where you are going!" Kurikara noted and soon a flameball appeared next to Hisoka's shoulder.

"Thank you, Kurikara." Hisoka said and felt really grateful. He hated dark and Kurikara had sensed it.

"Anytime. But focus on what you are doing and where you are going!"

Hisoka took a look around. He couldn't see Tsuzuki's face in the dark but he sensed he was scared.

This idiot! He is already and adult and he is still scared of seeing a ghost or somehting in an old building!

The hallway was really rusty and old. But there were clear, visible marks of those things climbing up from down here.

Then Hisoka sensed it.

He didn't know where exactly but he sensed there were still some of those monsters down here.

"Tsuzuki",he whispered in the darkness," I think there are about three of those things somewhere down here. Be careful."

Tsuzuki nodded slightly and they continued walking downstairs.

"You can't see much. Should I help you?"

How?

"Well, I could kill those things if they got too close to you. Kind of a Kurikara barrier." Hisoka chuckled at the name.

That sounds good. Hisoka praised and he felt their surroundings getting a little warmer.

"Tsuzuki, Kurikara made us a barrier, those things can't get too close to us without burning to death." Tsuzuki nodded again. He was somehow surprised how his little Soka-chan had grown up so much and now he was protecting him of all people.

Soon they saw those monsters standing only a few feet in front of them

Do you want to handle them?

"You don't have to ask!"

The barrier came visible and so did the small form of a dragon.

"So it's not only the human form of yours which is tiny!" Hisoka laughed.

"DON'T FUCK WITH ME! I COULD GET BIGGER IF I WANTED BUT THINK OF WHERE WE ARE!" Kurikara's dragon form shouted.

"Okay, I get your point." Hisoka said while looking at the small hallway they were in.

"DON'T SAY ANYTHING MORE, KID!" Kurikara snapped when he sensed Hisoka's thoughts.

"I AM NOT A KID!" Hisoka shouted and the voice echoed from the walls.

Tsuzuki was looking, astonished, at the duo. They were fighting and joking at the same time. It seemed umbeliavable Hisoka was able to handle Kurikara with ease.

At any rate, Kurikara finished of those monsters and Hisoka couldn't sense them anymore. They went lower under the ground and then they found the laboratoru Hisoka had seen in his visions.

"This is the laboratory I saw." Hisoka told Tsuzuki.

They looked around the laboratory. It was almost completely destroyed. There were some chemicals all over the floor and walls and then there was blood too. Hisoka felt a little sick. He sensed someone was still down here but he did see nothing at the moment.

They continued to look for any tips. Hisoka used a normal flashlight this time because there was a chance there would be a chemical which would catch in fire if he used Kurikara's flames. He adviced Tsuzuki to do the same.

Then Hisoka saw it. There was a body next to one big closet. It was all bloodied and it had probably been eaten partly by those things. He felt like throwing up, expecially when he saw the body move.

"It's...you!" The body shouted. Hisoka recogniced the voice belonging to that man. The man wasn't able to move a muscle.

"CURSE YOU! YOU DAMN SHINIGAMI!" The man shouted and his emotions filled the air.

Anger. Feeling of loosing someone important.

The man had lost his mother. Shinigami had taken her away. That would explain him being able to survive half-eaten down here. He must have some sort of spiritual powers if he had been able to see shinigami as a child.

Tsuzuki arrived next to Hisoka and took a sharp breath when he saw the man.

"We should kill him," Hisoka said with a calm tone.

"Hisoka..." Tsuzuki said.

"We should kill him," Hisoka repeated. He called Futsu's name and pierced the man's chest with it's blade,"He won't suffer anymore."

...

Daylight felt nice after they had been down in the basement for longer than just an hour.

"Phew! It's nice to be out of there!" Tsuzuki sighed. Hisoka just rolled his eyes.

"At any rate, we have to return to Meifu and report what we found out. Someone should go and destroy that place. It's no good if normal humans find that laboratory."

"I agree with you"; Tsuzuki said,"But I feel like eating cake again."

Hisoka couldn't believe his ears.

"Tsuzuki, you can't be serious..."

...
