Man that was one long chapter. But at least things are getting more interesting. Leki and Dane are a sleep so it is just me doing this today.

Whispers. between you guys and me I think I wore them out from doing a nine hour chapter. But honestly one would never know it when reading it.

But it seems that I got a lot of the characters in play now. Some of the names I made up completely. So they can not be found in the Manga or the anime series.

Anyways Hisoka's first day at school was an adventure wasn't it? I sure hope that those bullies don't bully him to much. Otherwise they will regret it.

Was any of you surprised that I put Muraki in so early? Leki and Dane were.

Anyways, as much as it pains me to say this……

I DO NOT OWN YAMI NO MATSUEI!!!!

I don't even own Hisoka, Tsuzuki, or Muraki. Cries.

Well, on with the chapter.

My Heartaches

for only one

It was a clear warm night it would be a perfect night for camping had it not been for the fact that it is a school night. In a small neighborhood only a few houses still had people up at eleven forty-five. This was evident just by the fact that some of the houses still had a light or to on inside. One house at the end of the block had only a small light on. Judging from the brightness that shone out the window this light was a small desk light.

The house was painted white with silver gray trim. The porch and foundation was made of brick that was painted white and silver gray. It was in a sort of checkered pattern for the porch and foundation. The mailbox had the house number on it and just below that it read the name Kazutaka. Inside the upstairs room Muraki was sitting at his desk looking at a medical form. The name on it read Hisoka Kurosaki. It seems that he could not get his mind off of Hisoka or Tsuzuki. "It seems that this school year is going to be an enjoyable one for the three of us." Muraki said. A most unnerving smirk crept across his face. It was a smirk that is like a double edged sword to others. It can be very seducing and yet switch to deadly in just seconds.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hisoka would have never guessed how much homework one could get in just the first week. By the time Friday came along Hisoka not only had a test to study for in English but one in Science as well. So at least an hour after doing his other homework he would study Tsuzuki tried to help him study but that made things more hard since Tsuzuki didn't understand Science that well. So Hisoka had to study for the most part by himself.

Also he hardly saw Tsubaki in some of the classes that they were in together. He was surprised just a little that She wasn't just in his Gym class but also his Science class and Art Class There had been one day this week that Muraki wasn't even in. The sub nurse said that he had an emergency appointment and wouldn't be in the whole day. That was on Wednesday the same day that Tsubaki wasn't at school either. That first week Hisoka couldn't help but to feel like he was being watched by the Doctor even when Hisoka was out of school but he just chuck that up to having such a busy school week and figured maybe there was some kind of empathic trace still left on him from sensing the emotions of so many at school and that now he could relax the traces that were left must have been entering in him.

Speaking of his Empathy, Hisoka did have a couple of close calls. Lucky for him the classes were just ending when he felt he was going to explode. So he would just run out at those times and head to the bathroom or someplace that had very few people so he could relax and put himself back together so to speak before heading to his next class. There were many times and Hisoka could swear it was on purpose that he would run into either Scott, Brandon, Yuki, or Saionji after every class. Hisoka only started having run ins with Yuki and Saionji because one day just after Music class Hisoka saw them picking on a girl and not just any girl. They were picking on Tsubaki.

Hisoka didn't know why that bothered him but maybe it was that he felt a connection to the girl somehow. But whatever the reason Hisoka didn't like what was going on. So he borrowed a young boy's frizz-bee and thrown it at the back of Yuki's head. What Hisoka did next was embarrassed the two bone heads by exposing some of their humiliating secrets. It was those times that Hisoka was glad to be an Empath. He then for some reason took to walking Tsubaki to as many of her classes as he could so that she wouldn't get hurt by anyone.

This weekend Hisoka was finally able to relax. He didn't have to worry about setting foot in school, no homework because he done it all in study hall, and no large crowds where he would have to keep his barrier up constantly. It was going to be just him, Tsuzuki, and maybe Tatsumi if he comes to visit. Hisoka slept in for the first time all week and it felt so good to sleep in.

Tsuzuki was so bored being up by his self at ten am. However, he wasn't going to bother Hisoka because Hisoka looked so peaceful sleeping. But Tsuzuki hated being bored because that gave his mind freedom to wander about and most of the time it wandered so far back to Monday and the shower incident. Most of that time Tsuzuki tried many times to shake that image out of his head but he just couldn't so today he decided to just let it stay and would only do anything about it if he got any other ideas. It was going on Noon when there was a faint knock on the door. It was so faint that had Tsuzuki not been on his way to see if Hisoka was awake yet he wouldn't have heard it.

He opened the door to see a small slightly pale girl in a pretty pink dress that had ruffles and frilly things on it. "Yes may I help you?" Tsuzuki asked as he gave a warm smile to the young girl. 'She doesn't look any older then Hisoka.' Tsuzuki thought.

"Umm I was told that … Hisoka …. lived here." The girl said in a voice that was as quiet as her knock. She was looking real nervous and was playing with her fingers as she kept her head down. She only brought it up every now and then.

Tsuzuki smiled even more warmly at her. "Come on in." He said as he stepped aside so she could enter in.

"Thank you." She said as she went by him.

Tsuzuki closed the door. "You can go a head and sit in the living room while I go and get him." Tsuzuki said. The girl walked into the living room.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hisoka felt someone shaking him. He tried to ignore it but it just got worse when Tsuzuki was calling his name. "Hisoka … Hisoka … Hisoka … Hisoka." Tsuzuki would say. It was at a time like this that Hisoka wished his name was Bob and not Hisoka so that he could sleep more.

"What do you want? What time is it?" Hisoka asked as he looked over at his clock and saw that it was Noon.

"Someone is here to see you." Tsuzuki said. "And it is a girl to." He added as he smirked. Tsuzuki was tempted to tease Hisoka a bit but knew that Hisoka might throw him out a window for doing it. So not wanting to learn to fly Tsuzuki thought better of it.

Hisoka was a bit confused at first. 'Did I hear him right when he said someone is here to see me and that it was girl for that matter?' Hisoka thought to himself. It then clicked. His eye growing wide and his eyebrows rising up to their limits only one name came to mind. "Tsubaki …." Hisoka said.

"Oh? So that was Tsubaki. Kind of cute. But a little shy." Tsuzuki said. Hisoka got out of bed and was running about the room. "Hisoka?" Tsuzuki questioned.

Hisoka then pulled Tsuzuki off his bed and was pushing him out of his room. "Just go keep him company." Hisoka said.

"Him? I thought she was a girl?" Tsuzuki asked.

"I meant to say her!" Hisoka almost yelled as he got Tsuzuki out of his room. Tsuzuki turned around and looked at Hisoka. "Just go talk to her while I change and don't act dumb." Hisoka said as he shut his bedroom door.

Tsuzuki couldn't help but to smile even more. He went back into the living room and sat in the chair next to the couch that Tsubaki was sitting in "So you are Tsubaki." Tsuzuki said.

"H-Hai." Tsubaki responded.

Strange cluttering, clanking, banging, and shuffling noises followed by a few ow words could be heard from Hisoka's room. "So how did you meet Hisoka?" Tsuzuki asked.

"We ran into each other the first day of school." Tsubaki answered as she actually looked directly at Tsuzuki for the first time. "After that we just ended up seeing more of each other." She added.

"Really?" Tsuzuki asked as he leaned just a bit closer.

"Hai." She replied with a small smile. "He even took to walking me to some of my classes." She said.

"Really? Well, that is very kind of him." Tsuzuki said as he did not know that bit of information. "Well, Ms. Tsubaki I am Tsuzuki." Tsuzuki said as he put a hand out to the girl. Tsubaki hesitated just for a split second before she took hold of the man's hand. 'Wow, strong grip for someone so frail.' Tsuzuki thought as they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you to Mr. Tsuzuki." Tsubaki said.

"Just call me Tsuzuki." Tsuzuki said with a small laugh.

More noises were heard before everything went quiet.

"His Hisoka-san okay?" Tsubaki asked as she looked in the direction of where the noise came from.

"I'm sure he is. After all he is always this noisy." Tsuzuki added. Even though that part about always being noisy was a lie since Hisoka is so quiet that Tsuzuki finds himself knocking on the bathroom door before going into the bathroom. Sometimes it is empty and Hisoka usually just comes out of his room which makes Tsuzuki feel silly at them times.

Hisoka finally came out of his room and he had on blue jean pants that were slightly faded on the knee areas, an orange shirt, blue jean jacket, and his sneakers. Tsubaki stood up and her smile seemed to just beam off her pale frail face like a flashlight. "Good after noon Tsubaki-san." Hisoka said as he walked over to her. "I hope you weren't bored waiting." Hisoka added as they both sat down.

"Not at all." Tsubaki said. "Tsuzuki is very kind." She added as she looked at Tsuzuki who was blushing from the comment.

"Well, who would like some juice?" He asked as he stood up.

"Orange juice if you have it." Tsubaki said in a very polite voice.

"Same here please." Hisoka said.

"Right I will be right back." Tsuzuki said as he headed off to the kitchen. 'Do we even have orange juice?' He thought to himself as he opened the fridge.

Almost like he was reading his mind Hisoka called out. "Behind the Chocolate Milk on the middle shelf!"

"Thank you!" Tsuzuki called back.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"What brings you here?" Hisoka asked.

Tsubaki looked down at her fingers. "Well, I just wanted to thank you for everything really. You have been so nice to me." She said. "I tried to love you for more then just a friend but ….." Tsubaki paused for a moment. "I can't." She finished.

"Tsubaki." Hisoka said as he never really thought of her to be anything more then just a friend.

"My heartaches for only one person so I come to realize we can't be anything more then just friends." She said.

"That is alright with me Tsubaki." Hisoka said. Most people would probably place a hand on the girl's shoulder but Hisoka still had the feeling of not wanting to get to close to anyone so he didn't do that small movement.

Tsubaki was glad to hear that and right at that time Tsuzuki returned with the Orange juice. They all sat there drinking their juice and talking about many things.

It was nearly one thirty when Tsuzuki offered to make lunch but Tsubaki declined as she said that she needed to get home and take her medicine. Hisoka walked her to the door. "Thank you Hisoka-san." Tsubaki said.

"Yeah you're welcome." Hisoka said. He held the door open for her and it was only when she had left that Hisoka picked up on that feeling of being watched and a small hint of sadness that seemed to come from Tsubaki. Hisoka didn't know what to think of it. He walked back inside with an odd feeling that he could not explain that was bubbling deep inside him. He didn't know what it was but it wasn't a happy feeling.

-------------------------------------------------------------

There was someone that had been watching them. The someone was sitting across the street, inside a small coffee shop. The person had a News paper opened to the obituary section of the paper. He waited until Hisoka had gone back inside the apartment before paying the bill for his coffee and walking out to his car.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Okay compared to the other chapter this one probably looks like a toddler of a chapter. But what else can I say? It has been awhile since I was in school.

Oh and Saphira112? The music class is just a normal music class but Hijiri and Saionji are in the music club (I know that there is a music club. At least there was when I was in high school lol.) So Hisoka won't be playing any instruments. Sure you can be my Beta. Does your e-mail accept file attachments?

Oh and don't be to harsh on me for awhile because while I was eating my candy I either chipped or lost a filling in my tooth and now air hurts it so I am keeping my mouth shut. Cries.
