Kyoto Arc: Part 3

Hisoka felt dizzy. Either he was very tired or maybe he had a very large headache. He forced himself to get up as his senses went on alert. He sat up blinking continuously to clear his vision. His green eyes surveillance his surroundings. He was in another place that was well off, luckily. If his kidnapper took him someplace indecent, he swore that he would give them an earful when his kidnapper is cleared of all charges.

He knew Enma would clear Muraki of it all. He couldn't lose someone as powerful as the doctor. Too bad the doctor likes these underhand schemes. The one thing he hated most than Tsuzuki's infatuation and Muraki's molestations is that he was always a part of these schemes. They were always between two said hated people. He wanted to scream at them.

Out of character moment…

He wanted to torture them. He wanted to hang them upside down with thin wire, place safety pins safety pinning all over their skin, get a staple gun and start placing staples on them, then he'd rip out the safety pins one by one and the staples afterwards as he laughed mechanically at their suffering. Ah, what a dream…

And back to the story…

Finally calming down at his homicidal thoughts, he decided to get up and get out. He'd find his way back eventually. He was sure Maria and Tsuzuki were looking for him. Before he could actually walk out of the room, the door opened revealing two beautiful women. He didn't like the feeling he was getting and bolted but was caught into a crushing glomp that reminded him solely of Saya and Yuma, except these two were alive.

"Oh my God, he so cute in person!" Girl 1 said.

"You're right Kasumi! He's so pretty!" Girl 2 commented.

"I know, Sakura, we could dress him in a pink house! Ayame did make this pretty dress the other day!" Kasumi mentioned.

"Yeah!" Sakura agreed.

They were just as bad as Saya and Yuma. Hisoka tried to wriggle out of their grasps but they were stronger than him physically. He was about to explode at the girl comments and how cute he'd look in a dress or how nice his skin and hair was. He sensed someone coming. It wasn't Muraki, thank god!

The door opened, as the girls were unaware. He mouthed 'help me' to the man. The man, obviously seeing his distress, was already ahead of him.

"Kasumi, Sakura!" he bellowed. Both girls separated from Hisoka who started to gain his weak but stable lungs back.

"Oriya-san!" they said in unison, nervously. "We were just checking to see if he was up, like you said." Sakura finished. Oriya's eye twitched in annoyance.

"I didn't say smother him when he wakes up," Oriya responded.

"But Oriya-san," Kasumi began, "don't you think he's just the cutest?" she finished wrapping her arms around Hisoka from behind, who was currently, again, suffocating. It didn't help that she was taller than him.

"Leggo!" he said.

"I'm sure he is. But I think he would appreciate it if you would stop choking him before he dies of strangulation."

"Eep!" Kasumi let go. "Sorry!" she apologized. Hisoka barely nodded as he tried to repair himself. God, a living Saya and Yuma.

It was not going to be his day.

Muraki calmly walked the streets. He was going to visit the doctor he's been conversing with. When he entered the hospital, he heard the nurses' gossip about him. He merely chuckled to himself at the things he heard. Indeed he could've been on of Dr. Satomi's clones, but then again he would really kill the doctor himself later on. He went up towards the reception's desk in his gracefulness.

"Excuse me, but where is Dr. Satomi's office?" Muraki asked casually. The nurses were really happy to give him directions. He said a polite 'thank you' before walking off to meet the doctor.

Watari was carefully looking over the new information that he had found. It seemed Muraki was visiting with a certain doctor who had theories about another Frankenstein or something along the lines of cloning. At least he himself was a bit original. A sex-changing potion is something people will not think of in a million years unless they were as crazy as he, Watari, was. Frankenstein was just an unoriginal concept. He'd read the stories. They were good but were taken from an original. But hey…

Anyways, they needed to see this Dr. Satomi ASAP! He quickly bounced in the partner's discussion plans on how get back Bon. He wanted to help out but he also had to finish this case of murdered women that Muraki killed.

"Guys! I got a lead!" Watari stated happily. They both looked at him relieved.

"You know where we could find Hisoka?" Maria asked.

"No, but I do know one way to," Watari answered cryptically with that mechanical grin. He grabbed both their wrists and dragged them out of the torn house. His grip was strong but they were stronger and tired. So they just followed the blond.

"Watari-san, where are we going?" Maria asked running to keep the pace. Watari grinned.

"We're going to be visiting sick patients and giving them 'get well soon' cards," Watari said, "It's a surprise visit!"

Before they could protest, they already reached the hospital. Watari walked them over to the receptionist desk.

"Hello, can I help you?" the receptionist asked.

"Yes, is Dr. Satomi in today?" Watari asked turning on his manipulative mask. The nurse blushed.

"Ah yes, just down the hall, third door on the right."

"Thank you!"

"What was that all about?" Maria asked.

"That is how I get good information among other things," Watari answered.

"Don't you mean not getting money deducted from your paycheck for every time you blow up the lab?" Maria stated smugly. She knew Watari would somehow go to an extent when getting something. When it comes to Tatsumi, according to Muraki, he certainly sold himself to the shadow master. Not that they both didn't seem to mind. Just a note, it was only Tatsumi.

"Why are we here Watari?" Tsuzuki asked.

"Because he could lead us to Muraki, which I'm sure he's the one behind these murders. I feel kind of sorry for Bon that they placed him as his partner. But hey, it was Konoe-kaichou's idea. Where he got it from I'll never know. Ah, we're here."

Watari knocked on the door. The door opened revealing a middle-aged guy. Watari smiled.

"Satomi-sensei? We need to talk to you about-"

"Sorry but I'm very busy and have no time for visits." Satomi said cutting Watari off. He was about to close the door before Tsuzuki's foot jammed it. He took a step back as the door was opened.

"I'm sure you're not too busy for this discussion. After all, Muraki is the top concern we all have here. So why don't we have a little talk?" Tsuzuki said with an evil glint in his eyes. Dr. Satomi backed off a little.

In the background Maria and Watari were whispering to each other.

"Is he always like this?"

"No, only when it's in his interest."

"Bon must mean that much."

"You have no idea."

"Muraki is so in for it."

"Couldn't agree more."

They pulled away when Tsuzuki turned to normal saying that they could discuss whatever they needed to.

Muraki calmly stared at Satomi. He knew the shinigami had been here. Their presence was lingering. It hadn't been too long ago. Watari was smart enough to figure it out. He saw Satomi take a few steps back in fear knocking over a stack of books, which revealed a newspaper clipping of a day ago. Muraki just sighed.

"Well, it seems you already know," Muraki said calmly adjusting his glasses.

"I thought – you aren't supposed to kill anyone!" Satomi said.

"Yes, but you got what you wanted didn't you? No questions remember? But I think your time is up. You know too much. You have those shinigami to blame."

Muraki gave him a quick stab in the abdomen knowing he'd hit a vital organ. Satomi fell to the floor dead. Muraki glanced down at his stained suit. 'Looks like it's off to my private dry cleaners again. Blood is so hard to take out when it's dry,' he thought before grabbing his coat, buttoning it up and left. He needed to make another stop to Oriya's establishment. After all he needed to check up on his partner.

When he made it to the Kokakuro, surprise was an understatement. Though the scene was amusing. He saw Hisoka being pinned down by three women who were trying to make him wear a dress. It was a simple dark green. It did compliment the boy. He simply smiled as green eyes glared at him. He placed his hands up in surrender as Hisoka broke from the three women and stomped towards him.

"You sick twisted minded pedophile raping bastard!" Hisoka blew up at him. Muraki just let out an amused smile. "How dare you leave me with even worst Saya and Yumas." Muraki just kept that same amused smile, which was annoying Hisoka to no end.

"But bouya, the dress really does compliment your eyes, a beautiful emerald green. Nice job ladies," he simply said, which seemed to set Hisoka off even more.

"Thank you sensei!" they all chorused.

"Muraki!" Hisoka hissed.

"Don't worry bouya, I'm sure Tsuzuki-san wouldn't find you less than admirable."

Hisoka fumed before stalking off and gathering his clothes. He had to change before the doctor got any bright ideas, like taking a picture. He shuddered at the thought. He just hoped either Muraki or Tsuzuki dies during this whole stupid ordeal he was intentionally involved in.

BLK Angel of Destruction: I've been working my ass off to get this finished. I just have this arc to finish probably about three more chapters. And the extra chapter for Muraki/Tsuzuki fans! Though it probably won't be that good but decent enough I think. I was supposed to post this two days ago but I realizied I uploaded the wrong document. Anyways, I'll have the next chappie by next week! Thanks for your reviews! I appreciate them and they keep me going!

Like it? Review! No Flames! C+C Accepted.
