Chapter 5
The large door opened with a squeaking sound. It led them into a dim-lit hallway. Hisoka and Tsuzuki followed the girl from behind and keeping a distance away at the same time. The huge mansion was unearthly silence. They walked up the stairs, through long passages and hallways, even entered several rooms which led them into more doors. Finally, she stopped and looked at them. "There," She said, pointing at the last door near the window.
"How do I know that this is not some kind of sick joke?" Hisoka asked suspiciously. Even if his instinct told him that Watari was behind that door, he still has to be careful. He felt a calm hand on his shoulder. Tsuzuki looked at him with a pair of hoping eyes.
"You have my words," Tsubaki replied back. "Good luck boys." At that, she flew through the walls and disappeared.
"Good luck!" Hisoka spat. "I knew this was some kind of joke."
"Hisoka…"
"Ngah, if knew…"
"Hisoka!"
He suddenly stopped. He couldn't believe his ears. Hisoka turned around and saw himself in front of him, smiling. "Watari?"
"Who else if not me?" The professor grinned and hugged his friends. "I knew you would come here."
"You do?" Tsuzuki blurted. The professor laughed and pulled the two of them into the room. The room was filled with chemical stuff. He pulled out two small chairs from nowhere. "Sit," he ordered them and handed both of them a testing tube each.
"And…?" Hisoka questioned, shaking the chemical in it.
"Drink it. That's the antidote for us all to change back to ourselves," Watari explained, posing in front of them.
"Will this actually work?" Tsuzuki wondered.
"Uh, I think so." Watari replies uncertain. "Anyway, just drink up and don't leave a single drop out."
What about Tsubaki? What actually happened? Is it really the end after this liquid had digested inside him? Questions after questions arose inside Hisoka's brain. He looked around just to see his friends struggling with their own chemicals. Hisoka stared down at his own problem and reluctantly gulped down the bitter liquid, totally unaware of the weird glint in Watari's eyes.
~so sorry this is short. I ran out of ideas. I promise to make a longer one next time!^O^~
