Tsuzuki followed the old librarian's directions through the tricky hallways. He made it to the master's sliding door. He stepped into the room and saw a fireplace with a brightly burning flame and noticed the piles of treasure surrounding the fireplace in the large room. There were weapons, jewels, fancy clothes, money, gold and silver objects, and common useful things.
The flame became taller and boomed out, "What you desire is here to take!"
"Oh okay, thanks." Tsuzuki found some blankets quickly. He hunted up a violet kerchief, a lamp, and a bottle of plum wine. "Um, do you have a street map with directions to the metro here, Mr. Flame?"
"In the right corner next to the collection of Plastic Tree CDs (Japanese rock band), and don't call me Mr. Flame."
Tsuzuki picked up the map and wandered back to the library. He gave the lamp to the old lady, so she wouldn't have to strain her eyes in the candlelight anymore. Tsuzuki went back to the room with his partner. He found that Hisoka had moved off his blanket in his sleep and was curled up for warmth. The tall man set back his partner's blanket with loving care. Tsuzuki quietly returned to his spot on the mat and went back to sleep with an extra blanket over him.
In the morning, Tsuzuki gave the sword lady the bottle of plum wine, and surprised Hisoka with the street map. The violet eyed man and his partner greeted the beautiful lady on their way out. Tsuzuki handed the violet kerchief and said, "Take your tears away and cry no more. Our tale here was not a doomed one. The master was really kind and we were not killed while we stayed." He went passed her with his partner and opened the door.
"Wait!" said the beautiful lady. "If you saw my father, I must marry you."
"Marriage!!" said Tsuzuki and Hisoka in unison as they stepped away from her in horror.
"Yes beloved!" and she tore off her black robes to reveal a wedding gown and put on a veil.
Tsuzuki swept up Hisoka over his shoulder. "Bye, bye now! Thank you for letting us stay for the night." He then dashed out the door.
The lady picked up her skirt and chased after them. "Come back my husband to be!"
"Sorry pretty lady, you wouldn't like it with my low paying job, and everything dark and dreary on a midnight weary!"
"Nevermore," said Hisoka.
"We are fated to be together, forever!"
Tsuzuki ran passed a tall, silver haired man, but unfortunately the lady ran over this man in her flight. (KS: Me bad at Muraki bashing ^__^;)
"Hisoka-kun! Tell me the directions to the metro!"
Hisoka pulled open the map while on his partner's shoulder. "Turn left on the next street!" His partner turned right. "Baka, I said turn Left!" and he smacked Tsuzuki with the map.
"Sorry...!" and Tsuzuki ran back to the correct street. They were able to get away from the lady and retuned to home safely. Watari was pleased to get his souvenir of Hello Kitty rice cooker and 003's music CD of Sounds of the Redwood Forest.
THE END
The moral of this story is: Always remember the directions to the metro, or don't let Tsuzuki get you lost =P
