Between Two Hearts
Chapter 8: Case 1: Hisoka's Girlfriend???
~~~~~
It was already their lunch break. Hisoka and Saino were walking down the corridor.
He asked softly, "Did you find anything?"
"Not yet…" she replied. "I haven't seen anything suspicious yet at the first year washroom."
"I see. So we have to be very careful."
"And also, YOU should be extra careful," she snickered.
"That's not funny…" he said, staring at her weirdly. "By the way, let's search for Tsuzuki. I wonder if he already had any news."
Walking casually at the corridor, Saino's teacher passed by them. She has long silver hair and cerulean eyes.
"Akizuki sensei!" she said.
"Oh, Kagekura-san," she smiled and turned to Hisoka. "Who is this girl?"
Saino introduced Hisoka, "This is my oneesan, Hiko!"
Hisoka turned to her and his eyes were staring also at her, "That silver hair… and cerulean eyes…"
Akizuki and Hisoka were both staring at each other.
"Sensei?" Saino said.
"Gomen, Kagekura-san," she told her. "I just remembered someone when I saw your sister. I have to go to our meeting now. Please enjoy your stay here."
Akizuki left and Hisoka was still staring at her. Saino was very worried because of Hisoka and Akizuki's behavior.
Hisoka suddenly asked, "What's her first name?"
Heart piercing, she sadly said, "She's Akizuki Kyla."
"Kyla, you say?" Hisoka turned to Saino, looked surprised.
He thought, "Just as I thought… She's the one… Kyla…"
The boy told Saino, "Go and look for Tsuzuki. I'll just go somewhere."
He suddenly ran.
"Hiso- I mean, oneesan!?!" she called him. She worriedly thought, "Where could he be going? To Akizuki sensei??? I know he's hiding something… I can feel that there's a bond between them…"
----------
Hisoka certainly ran after Akizuki.
He called, "Akizuki sensei! Matte!"
She turned to him surprisingly.
"Hiko-san, nan desu ka?" she asked.
"A… ano… I just want to talk to you for a while," he embarrassedly said.
"Sure," she seriously said. "Let's go somewhere private," she suggested and moved.
He nodded and followed her.
They went to a dark and private room. Hisoka closed the door and Akizuki was leaning on the teacher's table. Hisoka seemed can't say directly what he wants to tell her.
"Akizuki, I-" he softly said, turning to his side.
Kyla looked at him and said, "Staring at you makes me remember him…"
"… Even though you're a girl, you look exactly like him."
"But I'm…" Hisoka can't go in with his sentence so he just listened.
She said, tear fell on her cheek, "His name is Kurosaki Hisoka… He's my boyfriend when he was fourteen and I was eleven…"
"… I can't forget about his death. It hurts me a lot…"
She wiped her eyes and smiled at him, "But still, I love him dearly. But it hurts when you keep on hoping that your loved one would still be there when in fact he already died…"
"Aoi-kun was what you call him, isn't it?…" he gladly said.
She was surprised, "How come you…?"
"Aki-chan, it's me Hisoka!" he said.
She shook her head, "Impossible! He's not a girl! And if he's alive, he would have been twenty-two by now!"
"Aki-chan, it's hard to explain but…" He yelled, "I'm Kurosaki Hisoka! Aoi-kun!?!"
"Please don't tell anyone about me…" he said. He explained a bit, "After I died, I became a Shinigami. Our task is to lead the wandering souls to the underworld. Also, the age when we die will be our age forever. Do you understand it? I know you would."
"Yes, a bit. But it's really hard to believe but…" she said. "… I guess the only thing I could do is to believe in you. You knew what we called each other when we were young."
"Aki-chan…" he softly said.
She walked towards him and hugged him, "I'm already older than you and it's really hard to believe…"
He hugged her back, "I still love you even today. But I can't say that we should still continue our relationship. I want you to look for a rightful man for you. I can't keep you from hoping…"
Release from the hug and smiled, "I guess you're right. I can't love a ghost, do I?"
"Well, it depends on the person…" he mischievously said. "I know you already have found someone to love…"
"Not yet sure…" she responded. She suddenly asked, "What about you? Have you found someone?"
"Well…" he paused.
She opened the sliding window and stared outside, her hand propping her chin.
"Isn't that the girl you were before?" she asked, pointing at her.
Hisoka also went there and looked. He saw Saino talking to some of the students.
"She's Kageyami Saino, also a Shinigami," he said. "She's not really Kagekura nor we're sisters. Also, it's impossible for us to be sister because I'm a boy…"
She smiled, "How old is she?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Well, just wanted to know…" she mischievously retorted.
He paused for a moment, thinking of what's in her mind. He finally said, "She's fourteen when she died."
"You mean she's fourteen," she said. She asked him, "Don't you like her? I think the two of you would look like a cute couple."
Hisoka turned away, blushing.
Kyla looked at her watch and told him, "Oh my! I have to go now, Aoi-kun. I would really be late for our meeting."
"Alright."
She left Hisoka there.
He told himself, "I better go to her. I think she's having a hard time looking for him."
He lingered out of the room.
"Gomen, Aki-chan…"
----------
Saino was hurriedly running around the high school building.
She asked one of the two third year students walking together at the corridor, "Umm, excuse me…"
"… Have you seen a man about this height…" she made appropriate gestures while telling it, "… about twenty and above years old, have brunette hair and purple eyes?"
The girls giggled. She told her, "You mean that cute janitor that's working here in the high school building?!"
She certainly nodded, "Hai! That's him! So, where is he?!"
The older student pointed and said, "You see that mob of girls over there? That's where he is."
The other girl told her, "Everyone thinks he's cute! I wonder if he already has a girlfriend…"
Saino sweatdropped, "Wow… Tsuzuki-san sure turned very popular…" She told them, "Well, thanks!"
She quickly ran to the corner. Seeing the whole bunch of girls covering Tsuzuki, she sweatdropped again.
"How am I suppose to get there?!?" she thought.
She shook her head, never minding what might happen. With her slim and well-built figure, she squeezed through the crowd and went inner. She popped out her head and saw Tsuzuki standing in the middle, scratching his head.
"Tsuzuki-san!" she called.
The brunette turned and it caught the attention of all the girls.
"Saino," he said.
She went out of the crowd and turned to all of the students.
"Minna-san, please excuse us for a while. I have to speak with my cousin," she said.
"Cou…???" Saino unnoticedly hit his stomach with her elbow.
"Please leave us for a while," she said smilingly.
All of the students left them. When every student left, she turned to Tsuzuki.
"Any news? Incidents?" she asked.
"Not yet. Nothing happened yet in this third year washroom," he shook.
"Darn!" she buried her head on her palm. "How are we supposed to catch it?…"
She suddenly remembered, "Oh, Tsuzuki-san…"
Tsuzuki smiled, "Just call me oniichan Asato or just plain oniichan. It's fine with me…"
She flushed, "Ah… o-oniichan…"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"A-ano… did you got your lunch from the kitchen?" she shyly asked.
"Hai. It's in my bag," he retorted.
"Ano… let's eat together with Hiso- I'm mean Kurosaki-kun!!!" she turned redder. "Shumi…"
"Ah… I see… Just as I thought…" he mischievously said. "… You like him."
Saino turned real red, covering her face with both hands.
She shook her head, denying it, "Iie! Iie!!!"
He raised his finger and winked, "Daijoubu!"
She stared directly at him and relaxed a bit, sighed.
She smiled, "Let's go now."
They got their lunches first and directly went to the schools backyard. Not much of the students were eating there, picnicking. Saino and Tsuzuki sat under a tree, almost all of its leaves already fell.
Saino sat and told him, "Let's wait here. I'm sure he'll find us here…"
He nodded and also sat. They both opened their lunch box, full of different kinds of food.
As Tsuzuki opened it, he exclaimed, "Wow!?!"
She giggled, "I made a variety so that you won't easily get bored eating!"
He ate one of them, turned inu Tsuzuki, "Oishi…"
Saino suddenly remembered. She opened her backpack and pulled another lunch box.
"I forgot to tell you," she opened the lunch box, revealing chocolate éclairs. "This was supposed to be mine but I noticed that you have a sweet tooth. So, I'm going to share some with you…"
"Really!?!" he said, inu Tsuzuki with tears of joy brimming his eyes.
She nodded joyfully. Her right eye turned itchy so she rubbed them. After rubbing, she suddenly felt something different in her eye and remembered. She quickly covered it and turned to Tsuzuki.
"Oniichan, I'll just go to the washroom for a while," she told them, already stood up and ran.
He stared at her in bewilderment.
She finally arrived at the washroom. She was the only one in there.
"Shimata!" she said.
She bowed down her head.
"How come at a time like that?…" she said, fixing her right contact lens.
A figure suddenly reflected on the mirror without making her notice it. It was at her back and its hand slowly extended to her.
To be continued…
*****
You might think that the girlfriend thingy is just a somewhat a not related part. Well it's because this is how I start to build Saino's emotions over many things, pertaining to Hisoka.
Next chapter hints: (Case 1: Worried Hisoka)
Hisoka is worried about Saino, who was acting not her usually self. -(POV of Hisoka) Was she being possessed or something?
