Hi again!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the long wait!!! Are you anticipating this? Of course you are. Let's get it on!!! ^_^
Chapter 8
"Watari, please take off that dress," sighed Konoe.
Watari laughed. "Oh kachou!! This will help will my research!!"
"What about ME?!?!" snapped Tatsumi. "Because YOU won't find an antidote, I've got breasts!!"
Tsuzuki snickered. Tatsumi glared in his direction.
"Aw, be nicer!!" said Watari. "You DO owe me since I DID save your life, after all."
"You're pushing the wrong buttons!!!!"
"BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!!!" snapped Konoe.
"Looking for Razius?" said a horridly familiar voice. Everyone turned to see Muraki standing in the doorway.
"Why are you here?!?!" snapped Hisoka.
Muraki smirked at the current states of Tatsumi and Watari, then turned his attention back to Hisoka. "I want to be of some help."
"Well, we don't want your help!!!"
"Really? Not even the address to Razius's whereabouts?"
"What's the catch?" asked Tsuzuki.
"You all will leave me alone from now on. Besides, I seem to have more 'important' things to do than kill. My dear friend is in a tad bit of a coma, and I need to help him out. Also, I need a favor. If he dies and comes here, don't pass bad judgment on him."
"You-" snapped Tatsumi.
"Deal," said Tsuzuki. Everyone shot him a look.
"Good." He put a slip of paper in front of Tsuzuki. "I'll be on my way now. Bye!" With that, he departed.
"How can you strike a deal with him?! Muraki?!" snapped Hisoka.
"We have no choice," said Tsuzuki. "We're caught in a corner."
"For once you have a point," said Konoe. "With the directions, we can get to Razius. Until then, prepare and rest up. And for the love of sanity, Watari, take off that damn dress and find that antidote!!!"
Tsuzuki watched Hisoka practice his kendo. It was obvious the boy was ignoring him. "'Soka-chan, I had no choice," said Tsuzuki. "If I didn't agree, then Razius would be allowed to run rampant!!"
Hisoka sighed, putting down the wooden practice sword. "I know. But Muraki is a fucking bastard. He...he's hurt you so badly. And me. I can't just stand idly by and make deals with him. It's..."
Tsuzuki stood up. He walked over to Hisoka and put a hand on his blond head. "He has hurt us. Both of us have seen his dark side, and never want to see it again. But I really had no choice. If I had an ultimatum, I would've said no. You know Muraki is the last person I would ever want to make a deal with. I'm not the brightest person, but I'm smart enough to avoid mistakes that will scar me. All of us."
Hisoka sighed. "I understand. I'm sorry for doubting you."
Tsuzuki nodded. "Hisoka...about before..."
Hisoka backed away. "I...I know how you feel. And I know what you were gonna say. 'If you felt uncomfortable, then don't think of it'. It did feel awkward, but it wasn't uncomfortable."
"'Soka-chan..."
"I've never been emotionally involved with anyone before, much less romantically. I've got no experience, and my only encounter..." he shivered and closed his eyes, trying not to remember the night Muraki kidnapped him. He raped and magically cursed Hisoka. Even then it haunted him...
Tsuzuki stepped forward and hugged the teen. "It's okay. I'm not all that experienced either. I've been in relationships, but they ended too quickly for them to truly start. I feel like I've been to hell and back, but you've guided me. If you hadn't been here, I might've never regained my sanity. I might even have died. Out of everyone in existence, I want you by my side."
Hisoka clenched his teeth, feeling tears well up. As someone with empathy, he could sense that every word he said was from the heart. Nothing has ever touched his soul like this.
"We know how strong Razius is. Strong enough to possess Enma. The reason I chose to come unto you then was because I'm afraid of losing you. If something does happen, I don't want our last meeting to be with scorn. But with undying love. That's what I feel for you; love. No one else but you."
Tears finally escaped Hisoka's eyes. His heart was pounding so hard, it hurt. He raised his head, and Tsuzuki wiped away his tears. After they were brushed away, he awarded Hisoka with a sweet kiss.
This is it, thought Hisoka. This is where I truly belong.
"I found it!!!!!" cried Watari.
"The antidote?" Tatsumi asked hopefully.
"No, silly!! The exact whereabouts of Razius! Thanks to Muraki's directions, we can get him when he least expects it!!"
"I'd be happier with the antidote!! You may have a bodice, but I've got nothing!!! Do you know how hard that is?!?!"
The door slammed open and Yuma and Saya stepped in, waving blue and white ribbons. "Tatsy!!!!"
"Oh shit!!!!!!" Tatsumi jumped up and started to run, but Yuma tackled his knees. He fell to the floor hard.
"Get him!!"
"Pin him down!!"
"HELP!!!!!!!"
Watari laughed at the scene in front of him, then something caught his eye outside the window.
Tsuzuki and Hisoka were walking along the path, towards the living complexes. They were talking and laughing.
Finally, he thought. It finally happened.
Muraki nodded to the doctors he passed and stepped in the doorway of a specific room. The patient had the room to himself, but it still felt empty.
Oriya lay on the only bed in the room. His head was heavily bandaged, due to the blow he suffered.
I should kill Razius, he thought. But I need to watch Oriya. Oh well, I'll let the Shinigami do my dirty work this time. Better they do it than me.
"Done!!" announced Yuma.
Watari turned away from the computer and burst out laughing.
Tatsumi's hair was in various knots, each tied with a blue or white ribbon. And he was in a dress Yuma and Saya forced him into.
"Find the fucking antidote!!!!" snapped Tatsumi.
"Don't be vulgar, Tatsy!!!!" scolded Saya.
"Call me by my name!!!!!"
"I'll find that antidote," said Watari, turning to his computer.
"Find it, dammit!!!!!"
Later that night...
Hisoka slowly awakened. He opened his eyes, and looked around the darkened bedroom.
Where? Wait...this is Tsuzuki's room...
His face burned as he remembered their actions hours before. Then again, the whole thing wasn't embarrassing.
Tsuzuki lay beside him on his back. He was asleep, his face a mask of peace. One arm was draped over his stomach, the other tucked around Hisoka's waist from under Hisoka's stomach.
He's so beautiful, thought Hisoka. He sat up, feeling the covers slide off his naked body. He leaned over Tsuzuki and pressed a kiss to the older man's lips.
Sighing softly, Hisoka sat up again, and turned his attention to the window. The cherry blossoms were blowing in the wind.
Tomorrow, we fight. We fight someone who's very strong. I must have faith, but I have the feeling I'll never see those cherry blossoms again. That I'll never be able to lay here with Tsuzuki again. I hope that we make it out of this safely. I pray that we will...
Aww!!!! How kawai!!!!!!!! Is it over? Hell no!!! I hope you all liked this installment and sit and wait for the next chapter. It'll be up soon, I promise!!!! ^_^
