Between Two Hearts
Chapter 14: Sapphire Studs
~~~~~
It was already afternoon. He was already fine and was already walking down the street, wearing an orange T-shirt and blue pants. Suddenly, he noticed a girl, staring from the window of a store. She has ebony hair and was about eight years old. She turned to him and pointed at something from the glass window.
"Sakura???" he thought.
He went beside her. Upon arriving there, he stared at what she was pointing. It was those sapphire studs.
"Give it as a gift for her birthday. I'm sure she'll love them…" she softly said.
"I want to ask…" he turned, but found out she was already gone. "… you something."
He shrugged then entered the shop.
"Oh, a costumer. Is there something I could do for you?" a young lady, who seems to be the seller, asked.
"How much is the sapphire studs displayed near the window?" he asked.
She giggled, "Is it for your girlfriend?"
He turned pink and turned away, "No, just for a special friend."
She smiled and pulled out the box with the studs and said, "You really know how to pick a nice gift for a special friend…"
"It's archaic so I would say that this is rare. And its sapphire gems are the siren's tears, which crystallized. It was only thought as a legend though…"
"Siren's tears???" he asked in bewilderment. "Could she be just bluffing just to raise the price?"
She pulled a paper from the box and placed it on his other hand, "Rumors say that they're magical but it's still a mystery. But I think it has something to do with this paper with it."
He read what was written on it, "To hearts, we add the cheerful and soft music, plus the hand of winter that would be taken. Offering this to the future, thy last ritual would be fulfilled…"
"… I don't understand what this means."
"Neither do I," she said.
"Anyway, I'll buy this. How much?" he asked.
"Well, it's original price 30,000 yen…" she said.
"NANI?!?" he exclaimed.
"… But because it's Christmas, I'll sell it to you half the price. Also, because you're cute, I'll sell it to you half the price that has been halved," she told him. "So, it would be 7,500 yen."
"Are you really sure??? What about your income?" he asked.
"Don't want to accept the offering? Then I'll just…"
"Iie! It's fine! I'll take it!" he told the girl and gave the exact money.
She took the money, "Ok!" She put the paper back in the box and took it with her.
As the girl went to pack it, the young boy turned outside the glass window and saw Sakura, smiling and waving a little to him. She was saying something but he can't hear it. He just looked at the movement of her lips.
"Arigato, Hisoka," he syllabicated every word.
The girl closed her eyes and slowly vanished.
"M-matte!!!" he said.
"Do you want it to be wrapped? It's free," the young seller asked.
"Hai!" he loudly told the seller so he could be heard.
He thought, "I want to ask you about so many things… especially about Kageyami."
A soft voice in his mind said, "You don't have to ask me about Saino. Through your ability and experience, you could unseal the barrier…"
"Huh??? I don't get it…" he told her through telepathy.
The voice didn't respond anymore.
He sighed then looked at his watch, "I have to go now to EnmaCho…"
The girl finally came with a cerulean gift on her hand, "Here it is. Arigato Gozaimasu!"
He took the gift and placed it in his pocket. Then, he went out of the store.
"Come back again!!!" the young lady said.
He closed the door, hanged with bells, and hurriedly tried to go to EnmaCho. As he was running, he noticed a man, with platinum hair and wears a white coat, at the other side of the street. He was leaning close on the glass window and was staring at dolls inside the store.
"Muraki…" he said, face turning serious. "What could he be doing here?…"
The man suddenly turned to him and smirked. The young boy went to him, not knowing why he did. Upon arriving, the man noticed the pendant Hisoka was wearing.
He said, "I didn't expect that I would see that again…"
"Did you say something?" Hisoka asked.
Muraki just pushed his glasses towards him and said, "Iie, betsuni…"
A breeze suddenly passed by. Muraki turned to the dolls displayed near the window.
He begun, "Don't you think that dolls are nice?…"
"… Especially the one with midnight black hair and beautiful sapphire eyes?"
Hisoka was surprised.
Muraki turned to him and smirked, "Don't give the responsibility of her protection to someone you care about…"
He passed by him and whispered, "… Or you'll lose them both. The cards said so."
He left Hisoka behind. The boy just stood there and recalled what he had said.
"Don't give the responsibility of her protection to someone you care about… or you'll lose them both…"
Hisoka thought of it over and over, "What does he mean?!…"
"… Of course I won't give it to anyone. She's my responsibility."
He just shook his and thought, "Ah, whatever!?! The only people I care the most is Tsuzuki and Kageyami. That's all!"
He ran and went to EnmaCho without anymore interruptions.
----- Shokan Division -----
Hisoka opened the door to the office and found everyone there.
He asked, "I thought you were having a party???"
"Ah, good timing Hisoka…" Konoe said.
"Huh???" Hisoka said, in bewilderment.
Tatsumi told him, "The party was already finished."
"And we're now planning on what to do on Saino's birthday!?!" inu Tsuzuki said. "Good thing you kept your promise!?!"
"Of course I do!!!" he turned away. (The promise was for him to go there, stated at the previous chapter, in case you don't remember or know. But unfortunately, the party was already finished. -_-)
"Anyway, let's start. We have to prepare this secretly and careful. We don't want to spoil the fun, do we?" Wakaba told them.
"Alright," everyone agreed.
*****
My, my… What does Muraki meant??? Could it be that Hisoka might lose Tsuzuki and Saino??? Or is it really Saino and Tsuzuki who he might lose someday??? Also, how did Muraki know Sakura or Saino???… Ok, those might already be enough. I won't give hang up questions for this chapie. But the answers would be given in the future… ; p
Next chapter hints: (For My Maiden)
This chapie revolves among Saino, Sakura and Cerberus. Cerberus would show Saino his HD (hidden desire) towards her. But I think this goes too much!?! Well, I guess Kyla Akizuki is not enough so there's Cerberus! Gomen ne if Hisoka and the others won't show up here… -_-;;;
How was it? Want me to still continue it? R&R. -Reia
