"24th Feb!! Happy B-day Tsuzuki!! 3"
Watari burst through the office door 003 fluttering close behind him wearing a red ribbon and a party hat. Face full of cake Tsuzuki looked up at his friend (Tatsumi-san had made the cake just for him ? ). Watari held out a small bottle. He grinned watching Tsuzuki eye the bottle carefully.
"...It's...Green..."
Large Violet eyes looked up to his friend.
"Could it be? ...Is it...That thing?"
Watari nodded excitedly as Tsuzuki took the bottle from his hands. He swirled the green liquid in the bottle inspecting it carefully Well the bottle is still there...
"Just think of the possibilities!!"
An excited blush crept its way to Tsuzuki's cheeks. He quickly pulled off the ribbon and removed the lid. Watari's eyes widened watching as the green liquid moved it's way closer to Tsuzuki's lips.
"Oi!! Tsuzuki!!!"
He dropped the bottle. Watari froze. The glass broke and green spread ...ruined on the floor.
Hisoka stood at the door, His green eyes cold with anger but they where also somewhat dark. Tsuzuki's surprise at Hisoka's entrance quickly turned to concern. He was also much paler than normal.
/I guess he hasn't been sleeping again, because of those dreams. Dreaming of that night... Muraki killed him./
"This isn't a holiday! We still have work to do! You really are becoming like an old man. (What is it 100 years now?)"
"Whaaa~~ Hiso~ka~ Hi~doii~~" Cried a cute puppy dog Tsuzuki.

Watari watched as Hisoka dragged the puppy out of the office. He didn't notice 003 hopping around his feet. The little owl hobbled over to the green liquid and pecked at it. Watari looked down hearing 003's screech. The owl's feathers had puffed up, swelled! Now 003 looked like a little fuzz ball with beady eyes and a beak.
"Ara! Perhaps a little adjustment to the formula it in order" He grinned leaving for his lab. 003 pecking on his head the whole way.

"Dr Onijima Kensuke" Tatsumi turned on the projector to show a picture of an old man in about perhaps his mid 70's. Hisoka sat studying the file set before him. He found a copy of the photograph Tatsumi was showing them on the projector. Apparently he should have died about a month ago. All reports stated that he had died but somehow his soul is still living in his body. It is Tsuzuki and Hisoka's job to find out why this is. Hisoka "humph"ed Tatsumi was now lecturing Tsuzuki about paying attention or he might miss something important. He picked up the photo of Dr Onijima. As he did so he saw that there was another photo. It showed the same old man but he was with a young girl. She smiled happily in the picture even though the wind had caught her long light brown hair and she tried to keep it in place.
"Tatsumi-san? Who is this girl?"
The question brought Tatsumi out of his glaring competition with Tsuzuki.
"Ah glad to see someone paying attention"
Tsuzuki pouted having not won his argument with Tatsumi. Tatsumi changed the projector frame to show a close-up of the girl in the photo.
"Wha~~ Kawaii~~ 3" Squealed Tsuzuki. Tatsumi ignored him and explained that the girl was perhaps the cause of their mystery.
"Her name is Yasuragi Sakura, 16. Unfortunately information on her is limited." She had been Onijima's patient when he worked at a Tokyo Hospital. She had no family to return too when she recovered so he agreed to adopted her and together they opened a general practition in Nagasaki. There was however no information off what illness she suffered from or of her life before.
Chief Konoe stepped forward continuing where Tatsumi finished
"Daioh-sama would like this particular case to be dealt with as soon as possible...So NO SLACKING!!" Yelled Konoe at Chibi Tsuzuki who only smiled in reply. "Ahem, You'll head out for Nagasaki as soon as possible."
"Yes sir!" Saluted Tsuzuki. Hisoka walked passed him sarcastically commenting on his old age not keeping up with the modern world.
"Hi~Doii~~!" Yelled Tsuzuki running after him.
"Tsuzuki wait!!" He stopped turning back to chief Konoe who threw a sealed envelope at him.
"Happy birthday Tsuzuki. Don't open it just yet. when you have time" Tsuzuki looked at the envelope confused and back to Chief Konue. He grinned, thanking the chief and put the envelope in his inside pocket and left.
Chief Konue Turned back to Tatsumi who was looking at the picture of Yasuragi Sakura.
"Is it me or does she look familiar to you too?"
"fumu~~"

Tsuzuki and Hisoka stood in front of Dr Onijima's practitioner in Nagasaki. Hisoka stood against the wall his eyes shut. He was clearly exhausted but Tsuzuki decided not to say anything, for now he thought it would be best to hide his worry for his partner. Daioh-sama wished personally for this case to be dealt with quickly /Something must be up with this case...what a bother for us./
"...ato-chan!" It was a faint cry but enough to get Tsuzuki's attention.
"What is it?" Hisoka asked opening his left eye to look at his partner.
"...I thought I head someone call my name."
"Your hearing things" He closed his eye again. He could feel something coming closer to him. Probably a small animal he thought and ignored it. To his surprise the animal did not stop or turn but it leaped up onto his chest!
Tsuzuki Stared as a small animal charged Hisoka. The younger boy fell over more from shock than the impact. The small animal stretched itself in his chest. It was a kitten. The kitten scratched behind her ear ringing a small bell on her collar. She looked up to the dark green eyes watching her.
"Kawaii~~~~3" squealed Tsuzuki as the kitten made her way up Hisoka's chest and started to lick his cheek.
/Ah there's something about this cat...the owner it's.../ Hisoka's eyes defocused. He felt his head becoming light and everything became dark. /Someone is laughing...at...me...?/

"Ah!! Hisoka!!" Tsuzuki caught his partners' head before it hit the ground. The young kitten seemed to ignore the dilemma and curled up in a ball on Hisoka's chest to fall asleep.
"Asato-cha~~n!!" Tsuzuki looked up hearing the voice of a young girl call his name. He could see her now. Running towards him.
/It's her!! Yasuragi Sakura!! How...how could she know my name!?/
"Astao-chan!" She stopped before Tsuzuki and bowed. Tsuzuki opened and shut his mouth not knowing what to say.
"Ahhh~~" she screamed seeing Hisoka unconscious in Tsuzuki's arms "Bad Asato-chan!!" /Wha...!!/ Tsuzuki's face fell /What did I do!?/
The young girl reached down to and picked up the small cat that mewed at her touch.
"You scared this man and his friend, Asato-chan!"
/Asato-chan!? ...The cat! ...heh ofcourse/ cried Tsuzuki in his head he felt very embarrassed.
With the kitten Asato-chan curled up in her arms she bowed again. "I'm so very sorry. Your friend is hurt." She pointed towards the practition "That's my house please bring him inside and we'll treat him" She turned and ran towards her house. Tsuzuki picked up his partner and followed. She turned back to Tsuzuki as she reached the door.
"I'm Yasuragi Sakura, pleased to meet you" She smiled waiting for a reply.
"Um...This is Kurosaki Hisoka and I'm...Tsuzuki...Tsuzuki Asato."
Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at him, she looked at the cat in her arms. She said nothing as she turned back and opened the door leading Tsuzuki inside.

Hisoka opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling. /Why do I feel so week?/
"Exhaustion, It's nice to meet you awake Kurosaki-san." Hisoka sat up quickly to the now unfamiliar voice. "I'm Yasuragi Sakura. Your friend, Tsuzuki-san, is talking with Grandfather. I'll tell him you're awake now" She handed Hisoka a glass of water before bowing and leaving him alone.
/Polite girl, could she really be the one responsible.../ He tried to stand up using a drip stand nearby for support. /Strange, I should recover quicker that this./
"Hey!" He looked up to see Sakura rushing towards him her face caught in a frown. "You shouldn't try to get up just yet! You need more rest." With that she pushed him back onto the bed, with much more force than Hisoka had expected from the young girl. Before he knew it he was back in the bed and she was pulling the covers back over him. Her frown changed to a look of pleading. Puppy green eyes looked into his. "Please try to take better care of your health Kurosaki-sama."
From the doorway came two sets of laughter. Tsuzuki was laughing so hard he was in tears "Be careful with that one Sakura-chan." He jeered at Hisoka who just looked away slightly embarrassed. Beside Tsuzuki stood the older man from the photo Dr. Onijima. The man they where sent here to investigate.
"Really Sakura, A good nurse should be caring for her patient not forceful" He said laughing at the young girl who looked down at her feet trying to hide the blush in her face.
"It's just in times like these..." She drifted off into silence. Dr Onijima walked over to her and placed his arm around her shoulders.
"Please, Feel free to stay here for tonight if you wish. Hisoka-san should rest a while longer. He'll be fine after that."
/Well this is kindda lucky/ thought Tsuzuki as he bowed thanking the Dr for his kind hospitality.

Asato-chan (The cat) who had been snoozing peacefully on the windowsill now stood up and leaped out onto the high wall outside. She followed it to the side of the house that was shaded in darkness. There a figure stood waiting for her. The kitten purred and her owner as she jumped down into his arms. He held her close to his chest she purred more feeling safe and warm in her masters' arms.
"If only you could feel this too Tsuzuki-san"
Asato-chan played with silver locks of hair that fell over her masters' left eye, purring softly at the sound of his voice.
