Wishing Kokoros

Mirai Kurosaki

A/N: ^_^

"Tatsumi! Look!"

Tatsumi rushed over by Watari's side and peered into the computer once again. "What is that?" he asked, beckoning with his finger at the symbol on the screen.

Clocking on the mouse, Watari responded, "It's the sign for the Kyomeito's world. It's attached to their royal sword."

The symbol at the end of the sword appeared familiar to Tatsumi. It was basically, in his opinion, a decorated (made out of metal) circle of roses, and within the circle of roses appeared to be a Chinese dragon slithering in the circle. It was entirely coated in silver and gold.

"What about it?"

Watari smiled widely, obviously proud of his discovery. "Watch." He clicked a few times on a specific area of the circle and enlarged it. It was near the corner where Tatsumi read:

WK

"What the…?" Tatsumi squinted his eyes carefully and noticed that someone had engraved it with some sort of sharp object. A knife, perhaps, thought Tatsumi.

"Somehow Miyuki gotten hold of this symbol from his mother."

Tatsumi gazed down at Watari. "How do you know it was his mother?"

Watari sighed and rested his head in the palm of his hand. "The sword always lies within the Queen, and if you want the symbol, you need the sword, and if you want the sword…"

"You need to kill the Queen," Tatsumi gasped quietly with wide eyes. "Is it possible that Miyuki killed his mother?"

"We don't have proof of that, but it is a possibility."

Tatsumi stood up and strolled to the window, peering outside into the night. He stood there, staring down at the city, admiring it. He stared harder, noticing something. Even though he heard the phone ring he ignored it and allowed Watari to answer.

"Hello? Tsuzuki! What's happened? Bouya? What?! What do you mean…A dragon? Okay…Okay, calm down. Well you're in luck, friend. Come down here and we'll have what you need by then. Bye."

"What was that about?"

Watari hung up and took a deep breath, turning back to his computer. "I've got fifteen minutes to locate where Miyuki may be hiding. Bouya has been kidnapped."

Tatsumi spun around quickly. "Kidnapped? Was it Miyuki?"

"Ah. How are you going to locate him?"

Watari smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

~*~*~*~

Hisoka turned his head away from the performance of dancers before him. The music faded into nothing and the beats of jangling bracelets abruptly stopped on Miyuki's command.

"Are you not pleases, Hisoka?" asked Miyuki, giving the dancers a sharp look.

Hisoka refused to meet Miyuki's eyes and instead caressed the top of Yume's head. Despite the fierce appearance of the creature, its eyes made Hisoka feel protected. He actually liked Yume, unlike the other snakes and reptiles in the room.

The snakes had ceased to leave. Hisoka knew that there must be more everywhere. The ones that were currently here, were set off to the side or hanging on the ceiling, allowing the dancers and jokers to perform. Miyuki had noticed Hisoka's boredom and asked for entertainment.

Miyuki sighed deeply. "Kill the performers for they do not please my pet."

"Miyuki!" Hisoka shot a dirty look at Miyuki. "What are you doing? These are innocent people that have caused you no harm whatsoever! You can't just kill them!"

"Oh but they have caused me harm, dear." Miyuki laughed in a cruel voice, causing Hisoka to shiver. "They do not please you, and besides, they are prisoners."

"Prisoners?"

"Yes, they were loyal servants to my parents. Therefor, they are my enemies. They were destined to die either way."

Hisoka's eyes widen in disbelief. He then narrowed them again. The cries of the performers caught his attention at once. The guards had seized them and were jerking them back to there prison hell to be executed.

Hisoka cried out, "Stop!"

The sudden outburst interested Miyuki. "My dear prince, what are you doing?"

The boy stood up, shifting Yume upon his shoulder once more. "Don't kill them!"

He was angered when the guards ignored him and the snakes hissed in protest. Only Yume seemed to agree as his jagged wings flapped against the other snakes. Hisoka rose his voice in rage, "As prince, I command you to terminate any plans to execute them!"

All hissing stopped and the guards stared up at their master. Miyuki thought quietly for a moment and then snapped his fingers. "You heard him."

The dancers gave a soft gasp of relief and were blandly let to their chambers. It was then when Hisoka sat himself down and stared sharply at the rest of the guards.

"Hisoka, dear, what was that for? Why save them? There was no point." Miyuki placed a hand on Hisoka's delicate one, that clung to his smaller throne.

A harsh yank was Miyuki's reply. Hisoka answered, "You aren't given the right to take away a life."

"Ch', pathetic human emotions."

"At least I have them."

Miyuki laughed mockingly. "I don't need emotions. All I need is you."

Hisoka stood up and began heading to his personal room he was given. Upon the floor, Yume screeched in command and Hisoka watched with fascination as the reptiles cleared a path for his path.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere away from you."

Miyuki smirked. "All right. Oh and by the way, expect a visit from me later on. You know how hormones can be." He laughed again as Hisoka broke into a run.

~*~*~*~

Tsuzuki landed upon the floor and barged into the room. "Have you found him?"

Both Tatsumi and Watari looked up. The cheerful Shinigami raised a proud fist in the air and exclaimed, "Yes!"

"Great!"

"…and no!"

"Not great…"

Tsuzuki ran to Watari and grabbed his collar desperately. He anxiously said, "What?! What does that mean? Where is he?!"

"Calm down, Tsuzuki-san." Tatsumi pried Tsuzuki off Watari and gently said, "What he means is that he knows where Miyuki is but needs a book from the mansion in order to get the exact location."

A depressed sigh erupted from Tsuzuki. He asked, "Which book?"

"That's what we don't know," explained Watari, giving an apologetic look. "All I know is that it's in the smaller library. Look for a book that may be of some importance to Miyuki or an idea of a visual hideout he had as a boy or something."

"I have to go alone?" whined Tsuzuki.

Tatsumi gave a reassuring smile. "Me and Watari have some more information to confirm. We'll meet up with you later. Here, out this tracker on so we'll no where to find you." He handed Tsuzuki a small chip.

"Okay." Tsuzuki accepted the tracker and hid it under his jacket. "See you soon. If something goes wrong before you get to notify me, tell the boss I'm sorry."

"Why?"

Tsuzuki gave a sheepish smile. "I was the one who ate his desert two months ago."

"Good luck, Tsuzuki."

"Take care. Be sure to stay alive long enough to find Kurosaki-kun."

The soothing coolness of the silent sheets gave a slight sense of comfort to Hisoka's form. He lied on his side, facing his pet, which he had given half of the too large bed to. Yume seemed content since he was comfortably cuddled in the sheets, staring into Hisoka's emerald eyes.

"I guess I can only speak to you, eh? You seem kind…" Hisoka said to Yume, hoping he would understand. He gave the pet a soft massage on its head.

Yume hissed contently. He flapped his wings so that they were even with his back.

Hisoka smiled slightly and continued speaking, "You act as if though you were almost human."

At the statement, Yume's long body shot up. It began screeching and flapping its wings angrily. Hisoka reeled back slightly at the action. "What's wrong? Was it something I…"

Watching the snake's actions, Hisoka thought. He asked, "Where you once a human? Is that what you're trying to tell me?"

The snake withered more with more force. He fluttered around the room with rage, crashing into the walls. He screeched louder and finally began to relax once he realized he had no control over what he wanted to accomplish.

"You were a human, weren't you?" Hisoka repeated himself and frowned when the creature nodded its head.

The snake slithered down and glided upon the dresser. He screeched softly at Hisoka, who came towards him and knelt beside him. "You want be to open this?"

Another nod.

Hisoka obeyed and found a large book. Beside it was a diamond in the shape of a circle that was decorated of only roses. Inside the circle was a dragon.

"What's this?"

Yume ignored Hisoka's question and used its strong wings to flap the book open to a specific page. He created a sound of joy and snatched the diamond from Hisoka's hand. He placed the diamond in front of him and shut his eyelids. A soft glow began swirling around him.

Hisoka gasped and took a step back as a blinding light surged into the room. He blinked a couple times to regain vision when the light had faded.

"Yume?"

He glanced at where Yume once was and gave a cry of surprise. The wings had grown larger and were the same style except that instead of a cobra there was a Persia beast before him.

"What the hell happened?"

I transformed myself into a more suitable and respectable body.

Hisoka froze.

Yume?

Yes, it is I.

How…Wha…

Miyuki never liked me being clever enough to use that diamond and spell to transform. Anyone can do it; however, I am the only creature with the human mind.

He said you were an…

An experiment gone wrong. Yes, I know. It's a lie. I was once a human.

How am I able to communicate with you through mind?

It's quite simple actually. You, being empathic can understand human minds, regardless of what body they are currently occupying.

But…Why didn't you talk to me before?

I didn't think it was the right time.

But…

"Why, Yume, you transformed again. Still able to use that brain of yours I see."

Both Hisoka and the new Yume spun around to meet Miyuki, who was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed.

"Miyuki…"

Miyuki smirked and closed the door to Hisoka's room. He headed in Hisoka's direction with an evil glint in his eye. "I told you I'd pay a visit."

Before he could reach the small boy, Yume lashed out in front of Hisoka, shielding the boy from Miyuki's hungry hands.

"Now, now, Yume. You know that I am the master."

"But he was assigned to protect me. Even from you," Hisoka pointed out, backing away.

Miyuki smiled devilishly and brought his hand up. "Move." He slammed Yume into the wall and called for his pets. Snakes slithered from every direction, cornering the Persia and pinned him to the wall. Despite his feeble attempts, Yume had no control over their strength.

"Yume!" Hisoka dashed to the creature's side but was stopped by a strong arm.

"Are you ready to have fun, dear?"

"Let go of me."

Hisoka cried out as his body was thrown upon the silken bed, with Miyuki crushing him. The grinding of Miyuki's hips against his own caused Hisoka to regain memories of Muraki. He whimpered and began squirming around, trying to avoid the fierce friction between them. The man chuckled and became stronger with his grinding.

"Please stop! Miyuki! Get off!"

Miyuki thrusted his hips against Hisoka and harshly pulled the boy into a violent kiss. Forcing his tongue in, he took control. He trailed hot kisses to the boy's neck, sucking on the soft skin, harder and harder, flicking his tongue out over and over.

"I'm going to make you mine, dear."

Hisoka screamed as strong hands began reaching up his shirt and the other down his pants. "Yume! Help!"

Yume growled and let out a thunderous roar. He broke free from the strong grasps, and whimpered at the bites and acid of spits thrown at him. He fought back and threw them down to the ground. He regained hi balance and dashed to Hisoka, pouncing on Miyuki's back, sending his nails and teeth into the rough skin.

"Ahh!" Miyuki's cry provided as a distraction for Hisoka to roll off the bed, and away from Miyuki. The only problem was that he landed on top of the snakes, the one reptile he hated the most.

"Oh shit…"

He stood still for a moment before realizing that they were causing no harm to him. Looking down, he noticed that the snakes were trying to provide him with reassurance. He sighed in relief and was pleased when a few of the large reptiles aided him up to his feet.

"You damn creature!" Miyuki threw Yume off harshly onto the ground and shot his hand out, creating a portion of energy in his hand.

"No!" Hisoka ran and threw himself in front of Yume, preventing Miyuki from continuing his attack. "He belongs to me, Miyuki. Don't forget that…Only I can kill him."

Miyuki hissed and was about to reply when a guard dashed into the room. "Master…an emergency is at hand."

"What's the matter? Can't you see I'm busy?"

The guard bowed down. "Forgive me, Master. Yeiko has returned with urgent news for you. You…You're injured!"

Hisoka's eyes widened. Yeiko! That traitor!

Miyuki wiped the blood off himself. "I'll be fine. Tell him I'm on my way."

"Yes, Master."

Once the guard was gone, Miyuki knelt by Hisoka, forcing the boy's chin up. "I'll be back, my prince. For now, I'll miss you." He gave a passionate, yet, quick kiss to the boy and fled off.

Hisoka spat out onto the ground in protest, adjusting his clothing. "Pervert. Are you okay, Yume?"

I'm fine.

Yume stood up and licked the blood on his shoulder. He shook himself clean and began heading towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

I'm going to find out what Yeiko wants after I get you something to eat. Are you okay?

Hisoka shuddered and shook his head. "No. I got bad memories coming back to me form my past."

I know about your past, Hisoka. Don't worry, it's okay. You can ride on my back. We'll get there faster.

"Okay." Hisoka shifted himself onto Yume's back, holding on tightly to the fur, yet gently. "Tell me if I'm heavy."

You're as light as a feather.

Yume spread his wings out after opening the door and flew out high to the top of the building, trying to avoid the guards and reptiles occupying the floor.

Hisoka held on tightly and said, "How where you a human and how did you become…uh…a creature."

He heard a grunt from Yume.

I learned how to shape shift because my mother taught me with that diamond. She taught me the Pure Arts. Miyuki used the Black Arts to place a curse on me. He could only think to put me under the curse of my own powers. Eternity as nothing but a monster. Miyuki was afraid I would possess the power he wanted.

"What do you mean?"

I was someone close to him. I'm his older brother.

~*~*~*~

A/N: Sorry Akane-chan. There was shonen-ai…okay, lime but it wasn't between TsuxHi. Not yet, anyway. ^.^ Obviously, Yume is another important character, not too important but he is. Ack, I don't know. But anyway, hoped you like it.
