Konoe sighed silently as he put a finger to his temple. The symptoms of a massive migraine were already raging through his head. He rubbed his eyes wearily staring meekly at the documents spread out in front of him. It seemed at the moment at least unnatural deaths were at an all time high. He had far too many cases and far too few shinigami to work them. Especially with two of his most powerful shinigami's basically out of commission.
He glanced over to Meifu's secretary wearily asking a silent question to the man. He wondered if perhaps the younger shinigami had an answer to their difficult situation. After all the shadow weaver was a good associate to have around when troubles aroused.
Tatsumi pushed his glasses up in thought at his boss's inquiry. He frowned slightly not liking the only solution he could come up with at the moment. All of his associates were already in over their heads in some way or another. Wakaba and Terazuma were up to their necks in cases, especially since one in particular was giving the pair quite a bit of trouble. Handing them another case was simple out of the question at the moment. The gushoshin were good researchers, but didn't have the physical power to be of any real use if sent alone. They to seemed to be also quite busying reorganizing the library. As for himself, Tatsumi had been somehow suckered into helping Watari with the many cases that he was dealing with at the moment. This only left the strongest shinigami Meifu had to offer and an extremely powerful empath to work the newest urgent case brought into attention. This normally wouldn't be a problem except the eldest shinigami and his partner were no where near ready to continue doing field work such as this. After the whole Muraki ordeal Tsuzuki had been left down right suicidal, the only thing keeping him grounded being Meifu's newest shinigami. If it hadn't been for the emerald eyed empath Tatsumi knew that they already would have lost Tsuzuki. Tatsumi was well aware that they hadn't had enough time to heal and recover; despite this he couldn't seem to find another solution. He could only hope the consequences wouldn't be to disastrous if something went wrong.
"I suppose we really have no other choice." Tatsumi stated wearily.
"I'll let them have the rest of the night and tell them tomorrow." Tatsumi nodded in agreement before leaving to for fill his own promise to help Watari out.
"Hisoka-chan you have to try this." The overly genki Tsuzuki exclaimed referring to the wide variety of desserts infront of him. Hisoka sighed exasperatedly glancing around the room. He disliked how the elder shinigami often brought attention onto themselves. They were dead and if anyone figured out their secret it could have disastrous effects. Though Hisoka was displeased he reframed from voicing his opinion. After all the two were on somewhat of a little vacation, and Hisoka knew that Tsuzuki would reply that the younger shinigami worried too much. More than that though Hisoka was overjoyed that the older shinigami was slowly turning back into his old self. Of course Hisoka was well aware that there was much more healing to be done before Tsuzuki was completely better. Probably even longer before the shinigami believed in his own worth as a human being, but Hisoka planned to be there every step of the way. He wouldn't let it get as bad as it had last time, where Tsuzuki would have to resort to such methods to relieve the pain.
"Hisoka?" Tsuzuki questioned noticing the teen had been staring off into space for quite some time. "Are you ok?"
"Fine…. Just thinking a bit." Hisoka replied pulling himself out of his thoughts.
"About what?" Tsuzuki pried carefully. Hisoka had opened up a great deal, but there was still a line that Tsuzuki was afraid of crossing.
"Hmmm just wondering how you can eat so much and stay slim, baka." Hisoka replied deciding again not to voice his thoughts. Tsuzuki was pretending to be ok so he would play along for the time being.
"Meanie" Tsuzuki grumbled in mock angerment not missing the tiny smile he received from Hisoka.
"Is there anything special you want to do before Tatsumi throws a bunch of paper work in our face tomorrow?"
"We could go shopping or something." Tsuzuki suggested after a few minutes of thought. A slight tremor ran through Hisoka at the thought of many shoppers' emotions plundering hardly upon him. Tsuzuki noticed the change and realized his mistake. No matter how open Hisoka was getting it was only with a select few. The younger shinigami was still extremely uncomfortable in a crowd.
"Actually I have a better idea and Tatsumi won't kill me either since its free!" Tsuzuki stated.
"Should I be worried?" Hisoka asked jokingly wondering what the elder shinigami had up his sleeve.
"Come on!" Tsuzuki gently grabbed Hisoka's wrist carefully pulling the empath outside. There he lead Hisoka to the side of the building where he teleported the two to a destination unknown to Hisoka.
"Someone could have seen we shouldn't be so careless!" Hisoka stated as they reappeared.
"Ah Hisoka you worry too much even if someone did see us who would believe them?" Tsuzuki answered ignoring Hisoka's slight annoyance at his carelessness.
Hisoka sighed knowing the older shinigami was right. He let out a small gasp as he noticed the scenenary change. Tsuzuki had brought them to a cliff with an assortment of beautiful flowers surrounding the area. A few large trees also sat neatly within the beds of flowers. Hisoka glanced down seeing raging waves crashing against the sharp rocks at the base of the cliff. The sky was filled with light shades of purples and pinks as the sun peeked out from the horizon.
"It's beautiful…." Hisoka stated still in awe. Tsuzuki nodded watching the last traces of the sun disappear.
"No one really appreciates the share beauty of a simply setting sun everybody's to busy doing their own thing."
"Your right… how did you find this place?"
Tsuzuki frowned lightly as passed memories tried to surface themselves. He immediately pushed them back not wanting to ruin the moment. Hisoka noticed how his mood had changed and became worried that he had pried too deeply.
"I use to come here to think… You know when the world got too hard to deal with and stuff."
Hisoka's frown deepened even more as the few glances he got of Tsuzuki's passed came to surface. How the other children could throw rocks and outcast such a beautiful person angered Hisoka. It wasn't right for someone who was so caring to be pushed away like that.
"You worry too much… your going to get wrinkles." Tsuzuki replied jokingly trying to lighten the mood. The younger shinigami noticed the smile he was receiving from Tsuzuki was obviously forced.
Hisoka wrapped his arms hesitantly around Tsuzuki in attempts to comfort the older man.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Hisoka asked softly as Tsuzuki's own arms wrapped around his slim form.
"Not really." Tsuzuki replied glancing to the darkening sky.
"You need to trust me… One of these days you're going to have to talk to me about it." Hisoka replied pulling Tsuzuki's face back so he could look into his amethyst orbs. "If you don't I'm afraid you'll be swallowed up by your pain again." A small tear fell from Hisoka's emerald eye. Tsuzuki wiped it away gently before it could reach the younger man's cheek.
"I promised I'd live for you Hisoka, you don't have to worry I won't leave you." Tsuzuki buried his face into Hisoka's soft silk like hair.
"I know but I want you to also live for yourself, I want you to be happy. That can't happen if you don't trust me." Hisoka replied running his fingertips through Tsuzuki's hair at the base of his skull.
"I don't know how, Hisoka it's been so long… I'm sorry you deserve better." Hisoka felt Tsuzuki's tears gently caress his hair.
"Shhhh don't say that I don't deserve any more than you do… and all I want is you. We just have to give it some time… I love you and only you Tsuzuki." Hisoka answered pulling the other closer he reached up and gently kissed Tsuzuki.
After a few moments they pulled apart Tsuzuki nodding slightly. He didn't understand how the younger beautiful male could feel such emotions for him, but he wasn't going to protest anymore. He knew it would only cause the emerald eyed empath more distress.
"I'll try Hisoka… I really will." Tsuzuki whispered there lips caressing each others once again.
"I know." And the two stayed in each others arms the rest of the night, the stars shining brightly above them. Neither knew what awaited ahead of them, but they did know they'd get threw it together.
