DISCLAIMERS: I do not owe YnM! Matsushita-sensei owes them! I only owe Ayumi-chan!

EVE ARC 5: PECTORIS IRRITUS INVIDIA

MEIFU (INFIRMARY)

Hisoka painfully watched as Tsuzuki rushed the unconscious Ayumi into the infirmary. Tsuzuki was dead worried and he was panicking. "WATARI! WATARI YUTAKA!" Tsuzuki cried, laying Ayumi on the clinic bed. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU
WATARI?" Tsuzuki demanded.

Watari resurfaced behind the curtain, looking sleepy. "Doushite?" he asked lazily. Tsuzuki grabbed the sleepy Watari crying, "Ayumi-chan fainted! I don't know what to do!" Tsuzuki shook him badly that the doze of sleepiness escaped from Watari. Watari took his glasses on put them on. He approached Ayumi on the bed and examined her.

"Well? What's the problem Watari?" Tsuzuki asked. Hisoka cringed, he can't bear to watch this. He tooka step back, his hand looking for the doorknob. When he found it, he quickly opened the door and rushed outside the infirmary. Tears were falling down his eyes. He kept on running until he stopped under the sakura tree. He kneeled down in front of the tree and exclaimed, "Why do he care for her that much?"

He made a fist and punched the tree trunk, he did it again and again until his knuckles bleed. "I've always been the one Tsuzuki worried about that like that, I nearly get killed out there and all he did is asked how am I? But her... she just fainted... worn out by the power she used... he panicked like she was dying!" Hisoka exclaimed bitterly.

Tears dropped into the ground. Hisoka never this pain before. It was a different pain. A pain of jealousy. "Yes! I'm jealous of Ayumi! Because all Tsuzuki sees now is her! All he sees is Ayumi. All is important is Ayumi! He doesn't care for anyone except for Ayumi! I'm forgotten!" Hisoka thought bitterly. His wounds on his knuckles started to heal, "Why did she had to come? Why did she have to gain emotions? Why did she exist? I hate you Ayumi! I hate you because you're stealing Tsuzuki away from me. The only person I have! I hate you because of that! I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!" Hisoka cried in his mind.

MEANWHILE (INFIRMARY)

Watari smiled at Tsuzuki and said, "Worry no more Tsuzuki! She's okay now!" Tsuzuki gave outa sigh of relief and said, "Yukatta!" Tsuzuki touched Ayumi's face and asked, "Watari why did she fainted?"

"Exhaustion Tsuzuki! She might have used a powerful fuda magic that she combined with her psychic powers that so strong, it robbed her out of energy!" Watari explained. "She did it because she wanted to save me. I put her in peril." Tsuzuki replied sadly. Watari sighed and exclaimed, "No you didn't Tsuzuki! Don't blame yourself, she just overused herself!"

Tsuzuki smiled, he then whispered, "You did a good job Ayumi-chan!" the he noticed that Hisoka was no where to be found. He stood up and asked, "Where is Hisoka?" Watari shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know where the boy is!"

UNDER THE SAKURA TREE

Hisoka sat under the sakura tree asleep, tear stain can be seen on his face. He must have cried himself to sleep. Tsuzuki appeared in front of Hisoka. "Why sleep here Hisoka?" Tsuzuki replied kneeling down. He then noticed the tear stains. He wiped
them off with his hand and wondered, "He's been crying. But why?"

He then carried Hisoka up thinking, "He mustn't sleep here, he might catch a cold"

HISOKA'S APARTMENT (HISOKA'S BEDROOM)

Tsuzuki put the covers over Hisoka. He sighed as he sat down on the chair, he was dead tired. He looked at the time and noticed that it was time to do his paper works. "I'm so tired to do paper works! Two unconscious shinigamis in one day!" Tsuzuki groaned. Then he heard Hisoka sniffling. He stood up and approached the boy. Tears were coming from Hisoka's eyes.

"Hisoka... why are you crying?" Tsuzuki asked in his mind.

DREAM SEQUENCE

Hisoka was running towards Tsuzuki.

"TSUZUKI! MATTE! CHOTTO MATTE TSUZUKI!" Hisoka cried

Tsuzuki smiled and said, "Hurry Hisoka, I have a surprise for you!" Hisoka halted as he saw Ayumi appearing beside Tsuzuki.

Tsuzuki looked at Ayumi and at Hisoka and said, "Hisoka... Ayumi is my partner now!"

"NANI!" Hisoka asked in surprise. "Aren't you glad Hisoka? You'll be out of me, you'll no longer have a baka partner" Tsuzuki replied. Ayumi nod her head in agreement.

Hisoka shook his head and said, "Demo Tsuzuki, I never wanted that!" Tsuzuki frowned and said, "Yes you did Hisoka!" Hisoka grabbed Tsuzuki by the arm and exclaimed, "IYA DA! I never did! Onegai Tsuzuki, don't do this!"

"It's been done Hisoka, Chief Konoe have finalized it, you'll be assigned a new partner today" Tsuzuki replied with that he jerked his arm as Hisoka's grasp. "Please, just accept it and be happy for us" Tsuzuki replied. Ayumi smiled at Hisoka and said, "Be happy too and good luck Hisoka-kun!" Tsuzuki took Ayumi's hand and smiled. He then turned to Hisoka and said, "Sayonara... Hisoka..." with that Tsuzuki and Ayumi turned their backs and walked away.

"NO! TSUZUKI! DON'T LEAVE ME! ONEGAI! DON'T!" Hisoka cried, tears coming from his eyes. "No... Don't leave me Tsuzuki... don't leave me..."

END OF DREAM SEQUENCE

Tsuzuki took out his handkerchief wiped the tears from Hisoka's eyes. Then suddenly, Hisoka sprang up embracing him. Tsuzuki thought that he was already awake but realized that he was still asleep. He was about to lay him back when Hisoka spoke. "Onegai Tsuzuki... don't leave me... don't leave me Tsuzuki!" Hisoka sobbed, tears still coming outfrom his eyes. Upon hearing this, Tsuzuki was shocked.

"Is Hisoka dreaming of me leaving him? Hisoka..." Tsuzuki thought, he cuddled the crying boy and said, "Stop crying Hisoka... I'm not going to leave you..." Hisoka then stopped crying. Tsuzuki wiped away the tear stain and thought, "Hisoka... I will never
leave you, no one will take me away from you... no one..."

LATER THAT EVENING (SHOKAN DIVISION CORRIDORS)

"Darn it, I fell asleep under the sakura tree" Hisoka grumbled in his mind. When he woke up it was already dark and he remembered that he had some paper works to finish. When he woke up, Tsuzuki was there seating beside his bed. He was smiling at him and told him that he fell asleep under the sakura tree. Hisoka immediately understood that Tsuzuki carried him home, thinking about this made him blush but thinking about his dream made him blush even more.

"I must have been crying in my dream... shit... I might as well been sleep talking..." Hisoka thought, "Tsuzuki must have heard what I've been saying in my dreams... how embarrassing" he replied in his mind. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "It's a good thing, he never spoke a word about it" as he took a turn along the corridor he saw Ayumi Hasegawa walking to the opposite direction.

"Hasegawa-san..." Hisoka replied. Ayumi stopped and said, "Kurosaki-kun!" Hisoka frowned and said, "I need to talk to you!"

Ayumi nod her head and said, "I know... you haven't told me why you hated me Hisoka-kun!" Hisoka made a fist and exclaimed, "It's a good thing that you know that!"

"But why?" Ayumi asked. "That's because you're taking away Tsuzuki away from me!" Hisoka snapped back angrily. Again tears were building in his eyes. Ayumi was shaken. "Nee Hisoka... I am not" Ayumi replied looking disbelieved. "LIAR!" Hisoka cried at her. Tears are now coming out from his eyes. "All Tsuzuki sees is YOU! All Tsuzuki cared about is YOU! No one else but YOU!" Hisoka cried.

Ayumi backed away, she could feel the pain... the pain Hisoka is experiencing. Hisoka then asked, "You like Tsuzuki don't you? You like him right?" Ayumi turned her back and said, "Yes I do Hisoka-kun" she the turned around and exclaimed, "But I'm not going to take away him from you!"

Hisoka shook his head and replied, "You've already have!" Ayumi grabbed Hisoka by the shoulders and exclaimed, "I haven't! Hisoka... I owe Tsuzuki-san a lot! He gave me what I longed for!"

"Oh Hisoka... can't you see how I envy you?" Ayumi demanded, her voice quivering. Hisoka jerked off exclaiming, "Envy me? For what?" The girl shook her head and said, "You're so lucky that you have someone like Tsuzuki-san, I have no one Hisoka! Sister Mary is long gone and it's impossible for me to be with her! I envy you because you can always be with Tsuzuki-san... I cannot! After this case, I'll be gone, Kacho will assign a partner for me and my place... I won't be there, but you! You will be!"

"That's why you're getting him away from me so that you can have him!" Hisoka snapped. "No Hisoka! I can't do that! If I do, Tsuzuki-san won't be happy! He's happy with you! Tsuzuki cares for you deeply!" Ayumi exclaimed. Hisoka snapped, "How can you tell?" Ayumi exclaimed, "Because I saw it! When Tsuzuki synchronized with me, I saw it all, I saw it all! That's why I can't take Tsuzuki-san away from you!"

Hisoka wasn't able to talk back. "But please Hisoka-kun... don't ask me to stay away from him... because I can't! If you swear upon your life that you would protect him, I did too!" Ayumi replied with determination in her voice. Kurosaki Hisoka turned his back and walked away.

"I will grant your request Hasegawa-san... I will try not to hate you..." Hisoka replied to Ayumi through telepathy. "Arigato Hisoka-kun!" Ayumi replied.

HISOKA'S CUBICLE

Hisoka sat down on his desk and noticed a box. He took it and opened it. Inside was a slice of carrot
cake and a note.

Hisoka,

I hope you're feeling well now! Enjoy the carrot cake!

Love,

Tsuzuki 3

Hisoka couldn't help but smile. Ayumi was right, Tsuzuki cares for him. He was just too jealous and blinded by love to see it. He sighed and muttered, "Tsuzuki no baka!" and ate the cake heartily.
