Walking Away By: Black_Pyre08

The corridor is dark and cold, the lights that usually illuminate the hall turned off. Behind the closed door murmurings could be heard and Asato Tsuzuuki felt the clammy finger of apprehension run up his spine as he closed his own slender fingers over the doorknob. Silently, he turned the knob, and still unsure of what it is he expected to find, pushed the door open. "Oh God.Oh God.." Somebody was moaning. In the dim light he could see. Hisoka? Hisoka, what are you doing? Why is Tatsumi bent between your spread legs? Hisoka, stop it. Stop it, please!!! Oh God Almighty, stop it!!!!! "Tsuzuki, wake up! Come on, wake up!" Watari slapped Tsuzuki lightly. " Come on, they can't find me here. Nobody's supposed to come and see you, Tsuzuki. Please." Tsuzuki opened his eyes and saw his usually smilinf friend bent over him with a concerned look on his face. "What's wrong, Watari?" Sleepily, not understanding Watari's concern, he smiled at up at him. " I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I saw Tasumi and Hisoka doing it." Tsuzuki laughed at this seemingly impossible thought. Watari, his golden eyes a little glazed, were sad as he gazed down on him. "Tsu-chan.." he murmured in a low voice as if fearful of being overheard "It wasn't a dream. You caught Hisoka and Tatsumi together in the Gushoushin's library. Hisoka said you went nuts. Oh, Tsu, you tried to kill Tatsumi." But Tsuzuki was already in a different place, a place of dim lights and the screams of a young man. Of blood and books. "Tsu.." Watari's cracking voice brought him back once again to the clean, well- lighted bedroom. "Hisoka was screaming for help and we found you hitting Tatsumi over and over again. Hisoka tried to stop you but he couldn't. Tsu, Tatsumi's in ICU right now." Tsuziki's eyes were blank pools of pure violet light as he stared up at the ceiling. "That's not true. It can't be true, Yutaka. I don't remember hurting tatsumi. I would never do that. Tell me it's not true." He sat up and gripped Watari's shoulder with both hands. Staring straight into Watari's eyes he said in a firm and steady voice. "Tell me." Watari's lower lip trembled and his entire body, as if weighed down by some incredible force, sagged. He collapsed into Tsuzuki's arms, his body shaking as he wept, curling up into that defensive fetal position. "Are you alright now, Watari?" Tsuzuki spoke, knowing that it was his turn to be strong, his face buried in Watri's tousled blond hair. Watari nodded. "What are they going to do to me now?" Watari, looking up, saw that Tsuzuki's beautiful face was drawn, fearful yet resigned to whatever fate had in store for him. He sighed, hating himself for having to add to the sadness that could be seen in Tsuzuki's amethyst eyes. "They're going to put you in Limbo, Tsuzuki." "I'm scared Watari." "But I'm not going to let them, Tsu." "What?" "I'm here aren't I? I managed to unlock the door to this room haven't I? You're getting out of here, Tsuzuki." "I'm innocent, damn it!" "Then prove it after you've gone, Tsu. Come on." He pulled Tsuzuki up from the bed. "003 will be flying ahead of us, he'll serve as our scout." As they hurried from the room and ran across the vaulted hallways, Watari spoke. "They think you're too volatile, too unpredictable, to dangerous. That's why the'yre dumping you in Limbo." He paused to look back at the man trotting up beside him. " I only have you, Tsu." Watari stopped when they reached the front door and gave him a slow, sad smile, tears shining at the corners of his eyes. "You're on your own now, my friend. Go." Watari watched as Tsuzuki walked away, walking amongst the falling cherry blossoms.The blooms falling to the ground just as Tsuzuki will have to take refuge in the Earth, both of them unwanted and unneeded by the tree that spawned them.
