Secret Revealed by AngelicHana
Realization
*still at the park*
The Shinigami stared at their savior, surprised.
The figure was dripping wet even when Suzaku flew beside her. The person was proven to be a female from her figure that show through her wet, clinging clothes. Her face was hidden from her bangs, heavy from the water. She was wearing all black and her figure seem familiar to...
Its the girl from before... thought Hisoka.
Hisoka snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the others gasped. Looking at them, he follow where they are staring at. Hisoka stared at the sight in awe.
Suzaku spread its wing, as if stretching. Then Suzaku cover itself with its wings. Glowing, Suzaku reopen his wing and fold its wing back before it disappeared. Instead of a bird a male replaced it. The male seem to be transparent but solid. He have gratifying hair and ancient Chinese armor (think Fushigi Yuugi). He knelt down in the female's presence.
"Can I be of more service?" Suzaku asked with his beautiful voice echoing through everyone's ears.
The girl whisper to what seems like a 'no' because Suzaku exploded into red glitters, momentarily blinding the Shinigami. Opening their eyes they can't help but admire the red glitters that falls like snow. Seeing that the girl is about to leave Tsuzuki shouted.
"Matte!"
The figure paused.
"Who are you?"
The figure was silent. All thought that she will not answer when...
"A person who promised to protect the one she loves."
With that the figure turned and disappeared in glittering black, leaving behind water droplets that float toward the shinigami. Scent filled the air, seeming to emanate from the water droplets.
It smells familiar...
Hisoka clutched his head in pain as he tries to remember.
"Daijoubu Hisoka? Hisoka? Hisoka!"
Hisoka heard Tsuzuki and felt him clutch onto his shoulder, shaking him. It all seem so far away.
*flash*
It is nighttime. Many beautiful sakura trees. Sakura petals flying. A figure's back faced him. The figure was wearing a traditional kimono. The figure have very dark black hair that was brushed up in a half ponytail. A gust of wind blew the figure's hair, the scent from the hair drifting to him..."
*end of flash*
The same scent...
"Hisoka!"
"Urusai baka..." Hisoka growled.
"Hisoka! You're ok!" Tsuzuki glomps Hisoka.
"Baka!" Hisoka yelled, blushing.
"Kurosaki-kun, what happened?" asked Tatsumi, thinking back to Hisoka's strange behavior... not really a change in behavior, but his silence seems different.
"Nothing. Just not enough sleep." Hisoka semi-lied.
Everyone except one raised their eyebrow. Do he think we are idiots?
Baka! What a stupid lie. Well its not a total lie, but still only an idiot will believe me.
"Then go home and rest! I'll take care of you!" a hyper Tsuzuki said. (AngelicHana: The sugar he consume is finally kicking in.)
"Baka."
Everyone sweatdropped and made some kind of noise or gesture of agreement.
"Hisoka! You're so mean!!!..." wailed Tsuzuki.
With a sigh, Hisoka started home.
"Matte Hisoka! I wanna come and take care of you!"
"Iie. I don't want to die again."
"Hisokaaaaa....."
Everyone's sweatdrop got larger.
*Hisoka's home*
Hisoka crawled and laid down on his bed, welcoming the comfort it always gave him. (AngelicHana: Everyone love their bed. I know I do. NO HENTAI THOUGHTS!)
I finally got rid of the baka.
*flashback*
"Hisokaaaaa....." Tsuzuki whined.
Hisoka sighs.
"Look Tsuzuki. If we continue like this I will never get any sleep. Do you want that?"
Looking guilty, Tsuzuki sulkingly said no.
Smiling the slightest, Hisoka try to reassure Tsuzuki.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry."
Tsuzuki was still sulking.
"I'll cook you lunch."
Tsuzuki perked up.
"Honto ne?"
"Hai."
An inu-Tsuzuki started to bounce around.
"Yeah! Hisoka is cooking lunch for me!"
Not to mention that he smiled for me too.
Still bouncing, "NE Hisoka! I'm going home. Can't wait until tomorrow! Oyasumi!"
"Oyasumi." Hisoka watched Tsuzuki scamper away.
*end of flashback*
Hisoka smiled at the thought of the inu-Tsuzuki.
"Kawaii..."
Hisoka eyes' widen.
Shimatta! Did I just said that out loud? Lucky no one was here to hear me.
Hisoka closed his eyes only to have it pop up again.
Did I smiled again? Twice in a day. Maybe Tsuzuki is good for me.
With that thought Hisoka fell asleep.
*dream*
Where am I?
Hisoka was by a lake, its clear water reflecting the shining stars in the midnight sky. Sakura in full bloom surrounds the area as if blocking the harsh reality on the other side. The breeze caused the petals of the sakura blossom to float in air.
Everything is truly...
"...truly magical," a soft voice whispers.
Eye widen Hisoka look at the source of the voice.
Masaka.
There was another him except that the other him was dressed differently. The other him was wearing a lime-green kimono. Next to him was a girl who was wearing a beautiful kimono (AngelicHana: You know, the one with long sleeves and dragging ends. I want a kimono like that!) that is black designed with silver petals. Her hair was in a half ponytail. Her hair veiled her face. She was resting her head on Hisoka's lap. Both was sitting on a slope near the lake.
"Hai, it is," replied the dream Hisoka. (AngelicHana: To prevent further complication the real Hisoka with be in italics.)
"Shin-chan..." Hisoka hesitate.
"Hai Hi-kun?"
"Today is the 10th anniversary of our first meeting..."
"Hai."
"I have a gift for you."
Hisoka took something out of the inside of his sleeves and let it drop and dangle in front of Shin. Music filled the air. It was a locket.
Shin sat and turned so fast that Hisoka missed her face.
"Kirei..." Shin breathed.
It was indeed a beautiful locket. The locket include a thin chain. The whole thing was almost silver. Two rose was engraves on the locket, the rose entwined together. The rose's full bloom petals was made out of gems. One was emerald and the other was black onyx. In the locket was two pictures. One was Shin and Hisoka in school uniforms. Shin was leaning against Hisoka. The other picture was also Shin and Hisoka. Hisoka was in a dull purple gi and a gray hakama. Shin was in another kimono. It was silver with dull purple sakura dancing in it. Her obi was also dull purple as if to tell everybody that she was Hisoka's. A soft, sad music played within the locket.
The music sound familiar...
"The music, isn't it...?" Shin's eyes well up with emotion.
"Hai. The music you composed for me, Hisoka ~ Norowareta Tsukiya no Kioku." (AngelicHana: The music isn't mine. Gomen, I am not taking credit. Does this music have lyrics? If there is can someone send it to me? Arigatou!)
"Demo I haven't finished! I didn't write any lyrics yet."
"I don't think your voice will fit inside the locket." Hisoka teased gently. (AH: o.O; Orooo, sorry for the OOC.)
"Baka... arigatou Hisoka."
Shin hugged Hisoka tightly.
"It's now my turn to give you a gift. Two actually."
Shin tiptoes and gave Hisoka a chaste yet long kiss. (AH: I want to do that (¬.¬))
"That was the first present." Shin whispered.
Both Hisoka was blushing at the intimacy.
"Give me your hand, Hi-kun."
Hisoka extended his right hand and Shin also extended her right hand. Shin hold onto Hisoka's forearm gently. Hisoka follow the action unconsciously. (AH: The hand grip position is like the one in Utena. By the way Shin's back is facing the real Hisoka.)
Hisoka saw a glow of silver light between Shin and Hisoka.
What was that?!
"My second gift to you. Do you like it?"
"Ha...Hai. It was beautiful." Hisoka smiled. "Arigatou."
"Shin."
"Hai?"
"You seem silent today, even more than me. Is something wrong?" Hisoka asked in concern.
"I... I feel that something bad will happen today." Shin start to sniff, trying hard to hold back her tears. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Maa, maa. Nothing will happen. Even if something did happen I will protect you. Shh, don't cry." Hisoka raised his other hand to wipe Shin's tears.
"Hi-kun, can we dance?" Shin asked suddenly.
"Dance? But there is no music."
"There is. The music in our heart sings with our feeling."
"...Ok..."
Shin dropped her arms to her side. As there touch broke the silver light diminished. Shin wrapped her arms around Hisoka's waist. Hisoka hugged her in return. Shin put her head at the crook of Hisoka's neck, her hair still veiling her face. At first no one moved.
"Hi-kun can you hear it? Listen carefully to my heart."
"...I hear it..." Hisoka whispered. (AH: empathy)
"Then lets dance."

[Shin hugged Hisoka tighter, trying to get rid of the feeling of dread.]

Even when the dance came to an end they stayed in a loose embrace. Suddenly a scream pierced the air.
"What was that?!" Hisoka look at the direction of the sound.
"Sounds like someone is in pain." said Shin in a scared voice.
"I'm going to check. Wait here." With that Hisoka rushed through the forest of sakura, toward where the voice is.
"No! Hisoka!"
Shin reached to grab Hisoka but missed. She staggered forward but manage to find her balance.
"Hisoka..."
Hisoka took this opportunity to take a look at Shin's face Before he can do that Shin took off, toward where Hisoka went. Hisoka just stand there, surprised at the sudden action. Regaining his senses Hisoka ran after her.
For a person with such heavy clothes and wrong shoes she can sure run fast.
Hisoka struggle to catch up with her. Shin suddenly stop when she reached into a clearing. Surprised, Hisoka can't stop in time. Closing his eyes, he wait for impact. Nothing came. Breathing hard, Hisoka open his eyes.
Where is she?
Hearing someone breath behind him, he turned around. It was Shin. Not only that, Hisoka finally get to see her face.
Her bangs fall over her eyes but part of it was pulled back with a silver clip with dangling diamonds. Her hair seem blacker close up. Her eyes are black and deep. She didn't wear any make-up. Her lips were pale pink. If possible her skin is paler that Hisoka. But now it is...
Red. Why is her face glowing red? It look like it is coming from...
Looking up toward the sky Hisoka's eyes widen with fear.
The moon, it is red! Hisoka gasped. Today is the day... the day my nightmare begins.
Sounds of footsteps was suddenly heard. Looking at the direction of the footsteps, Hisoka felt himself turn cold.
It was him running from Muraki. Muraki was gaining on 'him' until he catch up with 'him' Muraki grabbed Hisoka's kimono. It loosened and slipped off. Hisoka fell onto the ground. Muraki was standing above 'him', sword raised high, ready to stab 'him'.
"NO!"
Surprised, everyone look at the person who screamed.
Shin was running toward Muraki and shoved him to the ground. Shin helped Hisoka up, who was struggling to put his kimono on. Not waiting another minute both started to run away from Muraki. Muraki, who have gotten over his shock, got up and ran after them. Hisoka also ran after them.
Hayaku! Hayaku!
Hisoka , who was trying to fix his kimono, tripped on his own kimono.
"Hisoka!" Shin kneel down to help Hisoka up. A shadow loomed over them.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A beautiful doll and a fun toy. How nice."
Shin glared at Muraki. She hugged Hisoka, trying to find comfort yet at the same time trying to protect Hisoka.
"Move aside my doll. I'll put you with my collection once I finished playing with my toy."
Shin didn't move. Suddenly she threw a punch at Muraki. Muraki caught it with ease. He just toss Shin aside.
"Well now, shall we continue with our game?"
Muraki licked the bade of his sword. Then he brought it down.
Blood splattered everywhere. Muraki brought the sword back up. Blood dripped off the sword, drop by drop.
"IIEEEEEEE! SHIN!"
Shin was struggling to breath. Her hand was over her heart, blood everywhere. Hisoka held her in his arm.
"Shin..." Hisoka sobbed. Shin brought her left hand to Hisoka's face.
"Go...men...Hi...so...ka...ma...mo...ru...a...na...ta...e...i...e...n..." With that, Shin's hand fell limply to her side.
"Iie. Shin. Iie. Shin. Shin. SHIN!"
Muraki look at this with emotionless eyes, a smirk on his face.
"She would have made a good doll. It doesn't matter, I can always get another one." Muraki crouched in front of Hisoka. "You know what. I have the perfect thing in mind. Lets change this game a bit. Would you like to play? It's call 'Forget or not"."
Hisoka look at Muraki with dead eyes. Muraki smirked, delighted with the expression he is seeing now.
"I will make you forget this night. But in return I will leave a 'sign' of our agreement and...um...another thing." Muraki ran his hand down Hisoka's exposed chest. His eyes travel down Hisoka's semi-nude body. His eyes lit up with appreciation. "I think you should give me something in return for letting you play a game. After all it only polite. Also I like to play with my toy before throwing them away." Muraki laughed crazily. He shoved Shin's prone body away and pushed Hisoka to the ground. He fall on top of Hisoka and start to strip him.
*End of dream*
Hisoka woke up violently, shooting up from his bed. He was crying softly.
Why...
Wiping his tears away, Hisoka tried to calm down. Glancing at the clock he saw it was 6:30.
Might as well wake up.
Hisoka got out of bed and head toward the bathroom.
*classroom*
Kibou look at Hisoka's empty desk, worried.
Where is he? Class is about to start.
Just then the door slid open. Enter was a tired Hisoka. He walked slowly to his seat and sat down heavily. He then buried his head to his arm, resting his head on the desk.
Hisoka. What happened?
The bell ranged. Everyone rushed to their seat. Shin gave Hisoka one last glance before going to her seat and get ready for class.
*lunch break*
"Are you ok Hisoka? You look tired."
Hisoka struggle to not yawn as they headed toward their lunch spot.
"I...I didn't get enough sleep. I woke up early to make this," Hisoka held up the two bento he was holding on to. Kibou raised an eyebrow.
"Two? Isn't that too much? You never ate that much before."
"One is for Tsuzuki."
Kibou look surprised. "Tsuzuki? You mean Tsuzuki-sensei?"
Hisoka eyes widen, slightly panic.
Shimatta! What was I thinking! How can I be so informal to my superior!
"I...." Hisoka stare at Kibou at a lost of words.
Kibou stare back, waiting for an explanation. Because she was not paying attention to the road, Kibou tripped on a rock. Falling, Kibou knock Hisoka down with her. Kibou's glasses slid to who knows where. Hisoka's bento went flying in the air.
"The bento!"
Getting up Kibou ran toward the bento. As the bento descend Kibou leap forward to catch it. Catching it, Kibou held it protectively against her chest as she came crashing down to the ground. The pencil that held her hair together fell causing her hair to fall over her face. Hisoka rushed over to Kibou.
"Kibou-san, daijoubu desu ka!"
Kibou lift herself up. She pat her clothes down with her free hand. Then she brushed back her hair from her face.
"I'm fine." She look up at Hisoka and gave him a reassuring smile.
Hisoka look at Kibou in shock.
"Shin-chan..."
Kibou gasped. She stare at Hisoka, eyes wide.
"How did you..."
Kibou brushed back her hair in annoyance.
Wait a minute. Where is my glasses? Is this how he remembered me? Why did he forget in the first place.
"Hi-chan, you remember me?"
Hisoka nodded, confused. "Yes, your eyes, your face, its the same. Also the locket, its the one I gave you isn't it? Does this mean everything was real and not a dream?"
Kibou brought her hand to her chest in surprise. She didn't even notice that the locket wasn't tuck inside her shirt. Kibou look at Hisoka with hurt and confusion in her eyes.
"What do you mean it's not a dream?"
Hisoka suddenly hugged her. Kibou stiffen in surprise. Relaxing, Kibou hugged him back.
"I'm glad you are alright Shin."
"HISOKA!" A inu-Tsuzuki bounced out of nowhere. He faltered when her saw the intimated position Hisoka and Kibou was in. Hisoka blushed and hastily broke of the embrace. Kibou look hurt but didn't say anything.
"Tsuzuki! What are you doing here?" Hisoka winced at the way it sound.
"Aren't we going to have lunch?" Tsuzuki asked silently. He have a hurt look in his eyes.
Hisoka sifted uncomfortably. "Iie."
Tsuzuki's eyes sadden. Hisoka saw this and felt guilty. He tried to explain why he canceled lunch.
"We have to go back to Meifu."
Tsuzuki looked surprised. Tsuzuki glance at Kibou wondering why Hisoka would say think in front of a live person.
"Doushite?"
"I think we found the girl that saved us."
Tsuzuki look at the girl in shock. "You don't mean she..."
"Yes, she is."
Kibou look at Hisoka in shock.
"How did you know it was me?"
Hisoka smiled slightly. "Your scent. It is the same unique one."
Tsuzuki was silent during the whole exchange. Hisoka noticed this. After being his partner for so long he know that this was not normal and should be worried.
"Tsuzuki, are you ok?"
Tsuzuki look away. His hair shadowed his eyes.
"I'm ok. Are we going? Tsuzuki replied flatly.
Hisoka felt hurt at Tsuzuki's tone. He felt a pain that he never felt before. Kibou saw this in his eyes. Eyes filled with pain, Kibou look down.
"Yes, lets go."
The wind blew silently to the empty area.
