VI: Hate
(Hisoka POV)
Hisoka pushed open the door to the cafeteria, scanning the room silently. His eyes narrowed as he spotted Muraki sitting beside Tsuzuki who was eating a piece of pie. The white clad doctor was watching Tsuzuki silently, a small smile on his lips. Turning his gaze away from them, he looked for something else to keep him from going over there and telling Muraki just what he thought of him being here. His emerald eyes fell on the familiar and welcome form of his friend, Kien Maykai.
Turning towards the table Maykai was sitting at, Hisoka walked over to it, sliding into the seat across from the other shinigami. Maykai was the next youngest shinigami in appearance here, after himself. Being 19, Maykai looked only slightly older than him, although Maykai was definitely more masculine than he was. Still, they both shared a few similarities in appearance, though Maykai's green eyes were a little darker than his own and carried small golden highlights. Hisoka gave his friend a faint smile as Maykai looked up from the book in front of him.
Closing the book, Maykai turned his full attention to Hisoka and raised a light brown eyebrow. "Hello, Hisoka-san. Something wrong?"
Hisoka sighed and rolled his eyes, while casting a dirty look over his shoulder at the two sitting a couple feet way. "Hai, you might say that."
"Ah, I take it you're not to pleased with Watari-san's new partner. I'm slightly inclined to agree with you, he gives me the creeps." Maykai said with a slight shiver as he glanced over at the two briefly.
"The nerve of him trying to compare his death to mine, he's lucky I didn't hit him." Hisoka growled as he turned back around to face his friend.
"Oh? What happened outside, if I may ask?"
"I don't know what exactly happened, but Tatsumi-san suffered some kind of a vision that I personally think Muraki was responsible for. Something is definitely going on.. I don't know what it is, but I'll just say one thing, if he so much as upsets Tsuzuki or anyone here, I'll show him that he can still be hurt."
Maykai nodded in understanding and glanced back over at the two silently. Hisoka followed his gaze and frowned. Muraki wasn't doing anything bad, only wiping off the excess of pie that had ended up on Tsuzuki's face instead of in his mouth, but Hisoka still didn't like the familiarity Muraki used with his partner.
'He's acting as if he never did anything, like he expects us to forget everything. Fat chance, even if Tsuzuki has 'apparently' forgiven him, it would take a lot more than a few kind comments to make me even consider it.' Hisoka thought heatedly as he watched them. Maykai lightly tapped Hisoka on his arm.
Glancing over at him silently, Hisoka raised a dark blonde eyebrow in query. "Your feelings are showing through, I thought you might like to know." Maykai said quietly.
Hisoka sighed and then calmed down slowly, bringing his temper back under rein as he turned away from them. "Thank you, Maykai."
"No problem, it's what friends are for, ne?"
Hisoka nodded and smiled faintly again at him. He decided to try and change the subject. He'd worry about Muraki later. Glancing down in front of him, Hisoka nudged the closed book in front of Maykai with one finger. "So what are you reading now?" Maykai grinned back at him, knowing exactly what Hisoka was doing, but went along with it opening up the book and beginning to tell him about the characters and the plot within.
