A/n: Oki what happened... Oh yeah that! Oki let's get on with the story, ne?
***********************************************************************
Tsuzuki opened his eyes slowly. He had been unconscious from the impact of the fall. What happened? Why did he fall? Tatsumi... fainted?
As soon as the thought registered Tsuzuki flew up into a sitting position and looked around the strangely illuminated cave. There seemed to be glowing stones everywhere that cast a bluish light all over the place. Tsuzuki didn't really think about that as his only concern was Tatsumi.
Standing up he took an even better look around the rocky chamber they had fallen to. And it wasn't a short fall if he might say so himself...
Turning around and scanning the area behind him he saw what he was looking for. There some meters away laid the unconscious Tatsumi. He looked strangely pale in the blue light and he didn't move at all.
A chill filled every vein in Tsuzuki's body as he beheld Tatsumi's still body. Rushing over to his former partner's side he took Tatsumi's wrist and felt for a pulse. There was one, of course. A high fall was not enough to kill a shinnigami.
But his concern did not dim though as he knew that Tatsumi had fainted before his heavy weight had toppled them both over the edge of the pit that Tsuzuki had been standing by.
"Tatsumi..? Wake up, Please! Tatsumi..." his voice was desperate and he felt evil tears gather in his violet eyes. If he didn't get an answer soon he would cry, he knew that.
He was afraid. Tatsumi was always so strong and calmed whereas he always broke down some way or other.
"Tatsumi..." he whispered again and picked up the unconscious man and hugged him hi his chest. This caused Tatsumi to frown and grunt of discomfort, which in turn caused Tsuzuki to leap with joy, well almost.
"You're all right, Tatsumi! What happened!?" Tsuzuki's urgent voice was filled with relief as he hugged the semi-conscious man closer to his chest.
Tatsumi was in heaven. He was so close to Tsuzuki he could hear his heart within the captivity of his warm chest.
"Tsuzuki... I... I feel weird..." he managed to press forth from between his ragged and shallow breaths. He felt Tsuzuki tense and shift so that Tatsumi was lying comfortably over Tsuzuki's legs.
"Tatsumi... Touda said something about poisonous gases... What if..." he trailed off but Tatsumi understood what he was indicating. He had breathed in some of the gases and that was why he felt like hell in every way except the closeness of his fellow shinnigami.
"I know... I was careless. I guess you can't be the stupid one all the time, Tsuzuki." He whispered and smiled at the miserable looking Tsuzuki.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine... Tsuzuki?" Tatsumi looked deep into Tsuzuki's amethyst eyes with a light blush creeping over his pale cheeks.
"Mmh?"
"I love you." Okay he really had crazy stuff floating around inside his head, he thought as soon as he uttered the three fateful words. He felt Tsuzuki tense immensely and he saw his lovely eyes widen with shock.
"I'm STUPID!! NO, don't listen to me. I should never had said that!" Tatsumi blabbered before he tore his gaze away from Tsuzuki's.
"I... I already knew... Or I should say 'I always suspected it'...Tatsumi..." Tsuzuki leaned closer to Tatsumi and with one hand he forced the handsome man to look at him again. Tatsumi's eyes was filled with such sorrow and he was trembling. "Tatsumi..." Tsuzuki breathed again and looked at the man in his lap. Then, quite suddenly, he closed the small distance between them and kissed the stunned shinnigami softly on his slightly parted lips, draining a gasp from the sapphire-eyed man.
As Tsuzuki closed the distance between them, Tatsumi gasped and then surrendered completely to the kiss, closing his eyes and lifting his arms up and place them on Tsuzuki's. He moaned with need into the kiss and felt as if he was floating when Tsuzuki slopped his tongue into his mouth and started exploring.
When they broke off the kiss for the lack of oxygen, Tsuzuki watched the face of his former partner. Kami, Tatsumi was so beautiful when he looked this filled with passion and need, his eyes was still closed and his right hand's fingers touched his own lips, softly.
This was definitely a side of Tatsumi that he didn't know of... he never had the chance to know it.
"is this what you've wanted, Seiichiro?" At the sound of his first name Tatsumi gasped. This couldn't be real. He must've hit his head badly. His voice took a life of its own and he spoke blearily.
"I... Yes. I've always wanted that... Tsuzuki... I... I... I Just..." Tsuzuki smiled at him then. His left arm supported Tatsumi and the other touched his cheek softly. Tsuzuki had liked Tatsumi since the man first came to Meifu and had always known of that the man had been secretly in love with him, even though he had acted as if he didn't know.
And Tatsumi was a beauty... But his, Tsuzuki's, heart, no life, belonged to someone else... to Hisoka.
"I know..." he said and caressed his former partner and rested his forehead against Tatsumi's. Tatsumi closed his eyes and took a shaky breath, breathing in Tsuzuki's scent. He smelled sweet, like sugar.
"I thank you Tatsumi, for every time you've tried to cheer me up. I will repay you the way you want but right now we need to find the others, do you understand?" He felt Tatsumi nod and then he helped him up to his unsteady legs.
"Careful... It will probably take a while for the poison to fully disappear, Tatsumi." Tsuzuki said and placed his arm around Tatsumi's waist and Tatsumi's arm he wrapped over his shoulders, supporting the groggy shadow-user.
"This is strange, Tsuzuki. I mean you being the one helping me and being all... se..rious..." suddenly Tatsumi went limp in Tsuzuki's grasp almost causing him to loose his grip.
"Tatsumi!?" Tsuzuki called as his former partner's body fell lifeless against his. He sat down and placed the once again unconscious Tatsumi on the cold ground, he took of his long trench coat and placed it over Tatsumi with 'worry' written all over his features. His hand shook as he brushed some strands of brown hair from the shadow-user's face. This poison was worst then he thought.
Much worse...

"Tsuzuki!!" Hisoka called and ran up to the place where the two older shinnigamis had stood just a moment ago, hot on his heels was Watari.
"they fell over the edge!!" Hisoka's young voice trembled softly as he spoke and looked over the edge of the pit. Watari stood beside him and his eyes was wide with worry and amazement.
"Did you see that Tatsumi collapsed onto Tsuzuki? It was as if he fainted..." The scientist's voice was soft and thoughtful almost as if he was speaking to himself. Hisoka shook his head in annoyment and turned to Watari in anger.
"Who cares!? They fell, and we have to find them!!" he all but screamed at Watari, causing the scientist to blink at him.
"Yeah yeah, I hear you, you know. I'm worried too, but panicking or anything like that won't help at all, so calm down, Bon." He said and raised his hands in a defensive gesture. "Let's find a better, safer, way down, okay?" he added after a quick glance down the pitch-black pit.
Hisoka crossed his arms in irritation and fury and turned away from Watari snapping an angry, "All right!" in reply.
"Good, calm down and let's go." Watari chirped (chirped at a time like this) and turned and walked off to the right, following the hole. What Hisoka didn't see was the frown on Watari's face. And that the scientist almost bit through his lower lip to keep himself from jumping after them, which would be faster but not very smart... And he needed to think. If Tatsumi's reason to faint was what he thought it was then they were in serious trouble, or rather, Tatsumi was.
"Come on, Bon!" He called and heard the eternal teen catch up with him.
"You think they're okay?" Hisoka couldn't keep his voice from trembling as he spoke. He was worried and just wanted this whole mission over with.
"I don't know about Tatsumi, but I know Tsuzuki's safe, bruised yes, but all right." Watari continued quickly, taking fast strides and let his gaze travel over the surrounding walls and floors of the cave.
"Why won't Tatsumi be all right?" Gosh, Hisoka was talkative today, Watari thought as he turned to face the boy.
"I saw him collapse against Tsuzuki, that's what caused them to fall, I think... He could've stumbled as it's so dark in here. I'm not sure..."
"Damn it! Why does this happen now!? This is a too important mission!" Hisoka yelled suddenly and was about to follow Watari who had starting to take some steps away when a sudden uneasy frightened feeling washed his mind.
All the hairs in his neck rose as a single word, or rather name, was called in a mind shattering mind cry.
"TATSUMI~~III!!!" Both Hisoka and Watari flinched by the cry and clasped their hands to their heads in pain.
"Oh no..." was all Watari said over and over. Hisoka knew as well as Watari that the call came from Tsuzuki and that there must have happened something to Tatsumi.
*****
Somewhere deeper in the cave, two pink coloured eyes opened as a mind cry pierced their head. A mouth opened in a grin showing sharp canines.
"I think I have visitors..." A deep manly voice spoke and broke into laughter.
To Be Continued...

Oki. For those who haven't understood yet. Tatsumi has been poisoned by the gas and it can kill a shinnigami or put him/her in a deep slumber that they'll never wake from, if they're without the cure for too long that is ^o^V. Can't live without a cure, eh?
Until next chapter, Be well
