Hiyee, minna-san! Reia-chan here!? This is my first fanfic in Yami no Matsuei so please forgive me IF there are a lot of mistakes that happen in the story. I know that the stories seem pretty short but I think it's worth reading anyway. This is the ELEVENTH chapter already. R&R! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami no Matsuei. But Kageyami Saino, Yumeki Sakura, etc. (Upcoming characters not related to YnM) belongs to me.
Between Two Hearts
Chapter 11: Fruits of Winter
~~~~~
It was already morning. The trios were already having their breakfast.
The brunette begun, "Tomorrow is already Christmas. Are you planning to do anything?"
Saino was about to take the food on her spoon but she stopped and placed it down, "Christmas?"
Hisoka also stopped eating and thought, "Is it already that fast? Which means… Kageyami's birthday is also approaching…"
"Shumi!?! I haven't bought gifts yet!?!" she thought and sighed.
Hisoka turned to her, "Anything wrong?"
She shook, "Iie, betsuni!" She turned to Tsuzuki, "Gomen ne… But I don't think I would be with you this Christmas…"
"Naze?" Tsuzuki asked.
"We have this… family tradition thingy…" she softly said. "And I have to go there but…"
"… I'll try to get back here before New Year's Eve…"
"Uhh… that's to bad…" Tsuzuki frowned. "I was expecting to eat something delicious…"
Saino raised her finger and smiled, "Daijoubu! I already prepared them! It's in the fridge!…"
"Really!?!" Tsuzuki exclaimed. "You're such a darling wife..."
Saino's cheeks turned red, "A… ano…"
Hisoka cut off, "What time will you be leaving?…"
She glanced at her watch and said, "Well… I think right now… I have to go there very early."
Saino finished her food and stood up. She placed her bowl at the sink then went to her room to change. Tsuzuki and Hisoka also tried to finish their food. While eating…
Tsuzuki sighed, "What do you think is the best gift for Saino this Christmas?…"
Hisoka replied, "I don't know. She never tells anyone anything about her."
Tsuzuki sighed again, "I don't know if I can give her one… My money is not enough… Also, she's going to leave right now…"
He suddenly remembered something and asked the young boy, "What about you? Are you going to give her a gift?"
"Gifts are a waste of money…" he told him, continuously eating.
"You're so mean…" turned to inu Tsuzuki, frowning.
Saino finally went out of the room. She was wearing a dark blue tank top, topped with dark gray coat, and black mini skirt, paired up with black boots, between knee and ankle level.
"I'll be going now!" she hurriedly went out and closed the door.
"Take care!!!" Tsuzuki told her.
Hisoka was already finished eating and placed his bowl in the sink. After putting it, he turned to the window. White drops were falling slowly. He went towards the window, his right hand leaning on it.
"Yuki?…" he thought.
He noticed Saino running on the street.
He smiled and softly said, "Take care…"
He went back to the table and sat.
He asked Tsuzuki, "Do you want to come with me at EnmaCho?"
"Hmm???" Tsuzuki just stared at him, with food still stuck in his mouth.
----- EnmaCho -----
It was already afternoon. Hisoka and Tsuzuki finally arrived there. They went in the office and closed the door.
Konoe asked, "Where's Kageyami?"
Tsuzuki replied, "She told us she's going to somewhere, related to their family tradition."
"Ahh… I see…" he said.
Hisoka noticed the gifts on the table, "Whose gifts are these?"
Tatsumi retorted, "All of our names are written in here, which means it's for us."
"Whom did it come from???" the young boy asked again.
"We don't know, Bon. There's no other name written here besides ours," the blonde retorted.
The Gushoshin brothers gave the two gifts to Tsuzuki and Hisoka.
"Hisoka," the younger one gave the gift in blue wrapper.
"Tsuzuki-san," the eldest one gave the other gift in green wrapper.
"Arigato," the two said in unison.
It made Hisoka thought, "Who could have given this???"
He synchronized his thought with the thing.
"I guess it's time for me to give this to him…"
"Anyway, there's no one I could give this except maybe for oniichan but…"
"… I already have a gift for him… And the only person that I don't have yet is…"
"… Hisoka-kun…"
After that, Hisoka was really thinking what the gift that it's size fits perfectly on his palm was.
He asked the young Gushoshin, "Does Kageyami have a gift in here?"
It said, "Let me check!…"
They both went towards the table.
"I, my brother, Watari-san, Tatsumi-san, Konoe-san, Tsuzuki-san and you already have," it told him. It checked the other gifts on top, "This one is for Wakaba-san… And this, for Torii-san… this, Fukiya-san… And these…"
"… Kageyami-san has none," it finally said, finished scanning every gift.
"Just as I thought. Kageyami was the one who gave us this," he said.
"Kageyami?" Konoe asked and chuckled. "It was very nice of her to give us these gifts…"
"Are you sure it was her, Bon?" Watari reassuring.
He retorted, "None of these gifts has her name on it…"
Watari sighed, showing concern, "I didn't bought any gift for her… It would be bad if we don't gave her anything while she gave us all…"
Tatsumi pushed his glasses towards him and suggested, "Why don't we make a party for her in New Year?"
Inu Tsuzuki exclaimed, "Tatsumi, that would be great!?! She said she'll try to come back before New Year!!!"
The older Gushoshin agreed, "I also think the same. Hisoka and I found some information about Kageyami-san. We found out that Kageyami-san's birthday is on New Year's Eve!"
"Then it would really be great! We'll celebrate both New Year and her birthday at the same time!!!" the younger Gushoshin exclaimed.
"So you're making a party here in EnmaCho for Saino," a voice said.
Everyone turned to the door.
"Wakaba-chan," Tsuzuki said.
She went towards them.
"Wakaba-san," the younger Gushoshin gave her gift to her. "It's from Kageyami, the new Shinigami…"
"Arigato," she said. She turned to everyone and winked, "I could lend you help when needed. She often lends me a hand every time she visits here alone. So I wanted to repay her kindness…"
"Really? She often goes here?" Hisoka asked.
"Arigato, Wakaba-chan!!!" turned inu Tsuzuki.
Watari told her, "Well, anyway, you're the only girl who is here so you're the one who's going to escort her to the rendezvous."
"Sure, no problem!" she said.
Tsuzuki told her, "She's staying at the apartment with us. She might come back there and you could meet her."
"Ok!" she made a peace sign.
"But first, we should prepare for Christmas," Konoe told them.
The older suddenly said, "Minna, please excuse Hisoka for a while. I need to talk with him."
"Ok," Konoe said.
The two went out of the summoning office and closed the door.
The older Gushoshin begun, "I have found some information and incidents regarding the person, Yumeki Sakura…"
"Really?!" he said.
"Come. I'll show you…"
*****
Yes!?! They're going to make a surprise party for Saino!!! ; p
Next chapter hints: (A Walk To Revelation)
Hisoka already found out who Sakura Yumeki is. Also, Hisoka accidentally met Saino along the way and made her cry again… -_-
*To all the ones who reviewed my story: Arigatou Gozaimasu, minna!?! I hope you really enjoyed it. Especially to Belial!!! ^_^
*To Lune Bleue: Well, once I like a certain character in an anime, I paired them with my character through fanfics. The traits of the character depends on either a person who is realistic, meaning living on earth, or on how I want my story to be made. Then, I make his or her name depending on his/her characteristics or symbolism of what she is, why she's called such, etc. (Email me if you have other questions. I would be very honored.) : )
Want me to still continue it? R&R. -Reia
