Chapter 02 - You Are My World
Tsuzuki Asato smiled as he finished off the last of his pink-frosted cupcakes. He
dangled a cherry, which had once decked the top of one of his consumed cupcakes,
just above his mouth, allowing it to rest against his lips. He seemed to ponder
letting it live before sacrificing it to a higher being--his stomach. He squealed
contentedly before he realized he'd just finished off the last of his sweets. An
inu-Tsuzuki pouted as he also realized he'd spent the last of his paycheck on those
sweets. Why did sweets have to be so addictive anyway?
He sighed, resigning himself to finding something else to do. Like . . . finding
'Soka-chan! Inu-Tsuzuki surfaced again as he happily bounced off to find his blonde
partner. He peeked into their office, ears drooping at the sight of all his unfinished
paperwork. Paperwork that he wasn't going to do now. Inu-Tsuzuki sped off quickly
before Tatsumi appeared to give him a lecture about the unfinished paperwork . . . and
his constant overspending . . . and damages caused by him (sometimes caused by he and
Terazuma both).
Tsuzuki looked all throughout Ju Oh Cho's complex, his ears drooping more and more as he
realized Hisoka was nowhere to be found. He finally happened upon a window with a full
view of the sakura grove. His tail wagged happily as he recognized the figure standing
beneath the trees as Hisoka.
"Why is he thinking so hard?" Tsuzuki asked himself, "'Soka-chan's gonna give himself a
headache."
Inu-Tsuzuki frowned at this thought, tears forming in his eyes. He didn't want his
'Soka-chan getting a headache. In his experience pain was bad, very bad.
Inu-Tsuzuki receded as instead a young, purple-eyed man in his early twenties gazed
wistfully at the blonde teen. A smile graced his beautifully masculine features, his
amethyst eyes reflective. Those eyes burned with an inner fire, a fire that burned fiercely--
not unlike Touda's flames. He placed a palm on the cool glass of the window, leaning ever
slightly against it.
It was that beautiful vision of a boy who stood beneath the sakura who had called him back from
Touda's flames. Kurosaki Hisoka was the reason he hadn't ceased to exist. He didn't mind that
at all, in fact, it sort of pleased him. When faced by a Hisoka whose mask had cracked, whose
walls had crumbled, Tsuzuki found himself unable to leave the boy alone.
Hisoka had said he needed him. Tsuzuki wondered if that were really true, the poison of his
self-doubt ever circulating through his veins. He didn't care . . . not too much anyway. He'd
be here for that boy no matter if his words had been sincere or not. Kurosaki Hisoka was his
weakness . . . er . . . one of them anyway. He'd allowed himself to care too much, to love with
all his being.
Tsuzuki stared at the fairy figure of the pale boy, "You are my world . . . 'Soka."
His words were softly whispered. Yet they were true. What of the rest of the world? He'd tried
to leave it alone, not once, but multiple times. Hisoka he couldn't leave behind. He only prayed he
wouldn't hurt the boy.
Everything he cared about ended up hurt, yet he cared about everything. The irony of the situation
was painful. It was something he lived with, though he knew not how. His suffering had taught him
to treasure the good things in life--like sweets . . . and Hisoka. He swore to himself he would never
hurt Hisoka. It would simply tear him apart to see his partner's green eyes filled with pain he'd
caused. Even the thought sent him reeling.
"Someone should tell 'Soka-chan to come inside before he catches cold," Tsuzuki thought.
With a smile he made up his mind to do it himself. He'd never forgive himself if he left it up to
someone else and Hisoka really did catch a cold--uh . . . could a shinigami catch a cold? Tsuzuki
shrugged and decided it really didn't matter whether or not it was possible. Inu-Tsuzuki returned as
the purple-eyed shinigami skipped outside.
A/N: Chapter two down; the next chapter has both Tsuzuki and Hisoka ^____^. You know the drill, review
please.
