Chapter 5
A/N: A secret is revealed! Find out who Yeiko REALLY is! ^_^
~*~*~*~
"You know what, Hisoka?"
Hisoka raised his head from his resting-place in his hands and stared up at Tsuzuki. "What?"
Lazily nipping on some apple-pie Hisoka had kindly purchased for him, Tsuzuki said, "You still didn't tell me what happened between you and Muraki."
Hisoka sighed and shifted and stared out the window. Tsuzuki had decided that they have a 'quick' break to have lunch at a restaurant. Watching the children laugh and play caused Hisoka's heart to clench. Remembering Tsuzuki's question Hisoka spoke.
"Nothing important. All that you need to know is that we know that Miyuki is the heir to Kyomeito and a freaky kid obsessed with snakes. I guess that explains his attitude."
Tsuzuki cocked his head to the side. "What do you mean?"
Hisoka said, " Nevermind. Are you finished? We need to return to JuOhCho quickly and get an update from Watari and Tatsumi."
The older man took another gulp of his sake and grinned. "Sure. Waiter?"
A man with a suite headed towards the table where Tsuzuki and Hisoka sat. He gave them a charming smile and asked, "What can I get for you two?"
Without looking up at the waiter (he was busy chomping on the remainder of his pie)"We'd like to get the bill, please."
Noticing the waiter's presence, Hisoka stared up at the water and gasped. "Yeiko!"
Sapphire eyes met green ones. They softened and Yeiko waved cheerfully. "Hisoka-kun! It's great to see you guys here."
Tsuzuki had just raised his head when he noticed Yeiko. He stood up and happily hugged his friend. "Yeiko! It's so good to see you, too. I didn't know you worked here! Hisoka, did you know he worked here?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, see-hey! How come you knew and I didn't?"
Watching Tsuzuki with a perplexed look, Hisoka quietly responded, "You never asked."
Tears formed in Tsuzuki's large puppy eyes. "But..."
"I just though he didn't work today," Hisoka stated. He turned his attention back on Yeiko thoughtfully. "Why are you at work today?"
Yeiko scratched the back of his head nervously. "Well, let's just say...uh...that I owe a few debts and I'm working it off. But my shift is over in a few minutes." He threw a fist in the air excitedly and said, "Why don't we all go out? Just the three of us, ne?"
"I don't-"
Tsuzuki smiled widely. "Of course we do! Let's all go to my Hisoka and my place, okay? Oh! Oh! Oh! And I can buy some chocolates for us!"
"Sounds great!" exclaimed Yeiko, removing his apron and tie. "The meal is on me. Let's go!"
"I still think-"
But Tsuzuki and Yeiko were already dashing out the restaurant with stupid grins on their faces. Hisoka sighed deeply. "Bakas..."
"Excuse me, miss." A buff man, apparently the manager, was standing in front of Hisoka, blocking him from leaving his spot at the table.
Hisoka narrowed his eyes. "I am not a girl."
The manager placed his hand out, obviously ignoring Hisoka's statement. "Where's your bill?"
"Yeiko said it was for free."
The manager roared with laughter, causing his rather large belly to shake. "Oh ho! Yeiko is nothing but a rat! Whatever he has to say has no meaning to me. Pay up, kid."
"But..."
"If you don't pay up, I've got a load of dishes crying out to be cleaned."
Hisoka groaned as he took out his wallet. "I'm going to kill you, Yeiko."
~*~*~*~
Tsuzuki and Yeiko entered the house chatting merrily, Hisoka dragging grumpily behind. He shut the door behind him and hung his jacket on the rail, where the others hung. The temperature became abnormally cold so Hisoka decided to make tea.
"Anybody want some tea?"
"And so I was telling him that he could kiss my..."
"Yeah? Yeah? Really! Wow, Yeiko! So much crap all in one day, huh?"
"Totally. It sucks shit. Anyway, we decided to get some..."
"Guys?"
"Oh! Then what happened after you left? A fight?"
"Guys!"
"Well, not exactly. The bastard jumped me from behind and began punching and..."
"WHO WANTS SOME DAMN TEA?!"
Everyone stood silent and blinked. Yeiko stared at Hisoka and so did Tsuzuki.
Tsuzuki broke the silence by saying, "There's no need to yell Hisoka. All you had to do was ask nicely."
A loud 'whack!' was heard painfully. Hisoka was leaning over Tsuzuki with a frying pan, about to explode again. Tsuzuki, meanwhile, was lying on the ground currently and had a large bump on his head and swirly eyes.
Yeiko smiled and beamed at Hisoka. "I'd like some tea!"
After a few hours of catching up, everyone was huddled comfortably in his own sheets, sipping hot tea. Hisoka sat on the bed wrapped in a deep green sheet; Tsuzuki sat on the floor against the bed in a black one, while Yeiko sat on the couch in a thick blue quilt.
Tsuzuki took one last sip and removed himself from the sheets. "Well, then. Would you guys like some pie?"
"No."
"Sure!" Yeiko peered over the couch. "I'd like some pumpkin pie!"
Tsuzuki nodded and stood up. He slightly bent down to meet Hisoka's eyes. "What would you like?"
"Nothing."
A grin played Tsuzuki's face. "Okay! I'll get you some chocolates!" With that, Tsuzuki grabbed his jacket and ran out. Before he shut the door behind him, he shouted back, "Take care you two! I'll be right back!"
"Bye, bye!"
Yeiko and Hisoka watched Tsuzuki shut the door and heard his distant steps down the hall. Yeiko stood up and slid the curtains slightly aside to peer out cautiously onto the streets. Tsuzuki ran by the building and off into the crowd. He gave an evil smirk that Hisoka was unable to notice and closed the drapes completely.
Now is the time...Yeiko strolled slowly to Hisoka, no emotion showing. Hisoka set his mug on the counter beside the bed and blinked at Yeiko.
"What are you doing?"
The form continued to head in Hisoka's direction. Sapphire eyes closed slowly and opened once again; however, this time, they revealed golden and sharp eyes. "I will not fail, Hisoka."
Sensing something disturbing from Yeiko, Hisoka stood up, dropping the sheets. He took a step towards his closet where he kept his katana hidden. He rarely used it, except when training.
Hisoka asked, "What's the matter Yeiko?"
Again, Yeiko showed no sign of answering. Hisoka leapt at the closet just as Yeiko charged at him. He drew out his katana and took a fighting stance. He studied his opponent's movements as they circled each other as if in a ring.
"What the hell's gotten into you, Yeiko!"
Yeiko charged again at Hisoka, ignoring the weapon the boy now possessed. Letting out a cry, Hisoka slashed at the charging beast. At the same time, Yeiko's arms shot out, capturing the sharp object between his slim hands.
Both eyes pierced into each other's mind fiercely. With no effort, Yeiko yanked on the weapon and snapped it into two. Hisoka stumbled back from the impact and cursed. He immediately ran towards the door but a pair of strong arms clutched onto him and slammed him against the wall.
"Ah! Y-Yeiko! Stop it! What are you doing!"
Yeiko pressed his body roughly against Hisoka's smaller one, causing the boy to squirm uneasily underneath him.
"I'm going to drain your energy and return you to your rightful place."
Hisoka struggled harder. "Yeiko!"
A scream echoed throughout the room as Yeiko crushed Hisoka with his body. Hisoka whimpered as he felt his energy drain from him into Yeiko. "Tsu...Tsuzuki..."
The room spun and blackened. Hisoka felt cold perspiration soak his body. His eyes fixed onto those same golden eyes he had witnessed one time. Those eyes watching him from the window when he had left the building where Muraki and him had met. It was him!
"You...You're..."
Yeiko grinned evilly. "That's right, Hisoka. I'm what you feared of, ne? I'm Miyuki's cousin."
Hisoka heard those last few words mumbling from Yeiko's lips before he slumped against the wall with his eyes dull. Yeiko had felt the body beneath him stiffen and go limp. He lifted the body into his arms, and, confirming the boy's mind was blanked, carved two letters onto the wall.
"Too bad, Hisoka-kun. Tsuzuki will be so sad to see you gone. But don't worry. Once he realizes you're gone and tries to look for you...We have a little present left for him."

A/N: I'm so evil to poor Hisoka! ^_^ And Tsuzuki won't be having much fun either! ^^ This was for you, Akane-chan! Expect to see those TsuxHi scenes coming up.
