SOMBER SOLACE
CHAPTER ONE: A NEW BEGINNING
BY: YUKIE-CHAN
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
The characters I used aren't mine, I just borrowed them so, don't sue me, okay? By the way, my first fic didn't go well, ya know? The 'if you were mine' were displayed in all caps and got a lot of negative review. I'm not really sure if this fic would work well so, I'm just experimenting. If I don't get enough reviews and inspiration for this one, I may not continue it. So please review and tell me what you think. Thanks!
* just imagine the saiyuki boys at 17, ok? On with the fic, guys!

"As you can see, the only chance we have is to infiltrate that school and trace them." Konoe stated as he cleared his throat.
Hisoka's elegantly shaped form was disturbed by the boss' remark. That could only mean trouble, for the teenage shinigami. It meant that he's the only one who can infiltrate the student body. "And how are we supposed to distinguish these demons from normal people, if they look like them?"
"I don't know. I guess I haven't found the answer to that question yet." The chief replied, doubtful.
"What?!" porcelain-white cheeks flushed a tinge of red that rivaled the cherry blossoms around the building. "There are over 10,000 high schoolers there! You don't expect me to check each one of them!"
"You're not the only one infiltrating the school, bon." Watari placed an assuring hand on the teen's shoulder, "We're going too."
Hisoka rolled his beautiful emerald eyes as he replied, "You could just have said that I'm the only one masquerading as student because all of you are too old to undercover, right?"
"Watch your mouth, boy!" Konoe suddenly got pissed by the teen's reaction.
Inu-Tsuzuki pouted as he wagged his tail. "Hisoka-chan's such a meanie! I'm not that old!" he was taken aback by Tatsumi, suddenly entering as the door behind him was opened. "Ow."
Tatsumi was still heaving for breath but continued "Good news, minna! The upper division of the Yamma Agency just traced a group of four people, third year students at present, that enrolled just when the murders began."
"That's good news ne, Kurosaki-kun?" Konoe's face brightened a bit.
Kurosaki ignored this and went on, "When is the investigation supposed to start, Tatsumi-san?"
"I've already fixed slots at the principal's office and got everything you need, books, uniform and other course requirements. We can start tomorrow." The secretary replied, leveling his glasses on his azure- blue eyes.
Something suddenly hit Tsuzuki, "But. tomorrow we're going on a date!"
"It's not a date, baka! We're just going to have lunch together at the Italian restaurant downtown, it's nothing special." Hisoka replied, slightly blushing.
"Then, you'll have to cancel it, Tsuzuki-san. Here are the files of the suspects." Tatsumi's stern voice echoed in the room as he handed the documents to the boy. "May I warn you that they are demons and that they possess strong spiritual powers that are superficial even to us, Shinigamis. Take care of yourself and make sure that they won't see through your disguise." He then, opened the door and stepped quietly outside.

"Bon can really be heartless, you know." Watari unconsciously said as he held a test tube and crucible.
"He has his reasons, Watari." Tsuzuki replied as he fidgeted with the buttons of his tenchcoat.
The scientist scanned the table for his tong and continued, "I know. I mean, having no one to share his life with, he locked himself in a sanctuary that is forever locked in those cold yet beautiful eyes of his. He has every right to act like that, but he can't stay that way forever. I mean, he's starting to change a bit by bit, time by time."
"Uhn. you're right, Watari. In fact, he's been changing everyday, growing more beautiful day by day." Tsuzuki replied, lost in thought.
The blonde smiled a bit, his chocolate-haired friend had missed his point. "Tsuzuki. I mean the emotional not the physical." He sighed as he met the confused stare of his amethyst-eyed friend. "I admit that he's beautiful and everything. so perfect. I bet anyone would fall for him."
Tsuzuki glared the blonde with his hisoka-is-mine glare but sooner resumed to his serious self. "Hisoka may be beautiful, obviously to anyone but maybe he, himself isn't oblivious to his own beauty or maybe he just ignores it."

(Hisoka's POV)
"Sha Gojyo, 17, gifted at kendo and a noted playboy." I noted the word 'playboy' on the file. Damn, lady luck's not with me today. I'm 16 but that doesn't mean that they should always rely on me regarding the undercover cases. Darn this eternal body! Sure, a lot of people would like an eternal youth-looking face but what's the sense? We all die anyway.
I scoffed through the fourth page, not much interested on reading this playboy's profile. I can judge from his looks that he's the flirting type. "Genjo Sanzo, 17, a stern archer and a known smoker." Man, in the looks of his face, it's obvious how deadly and short-tempered he is. He's kinda cute, I admit he is. Argh! I shouldn't be thinking of things like this. Maybe it's just that this 'Sanzo' had mauve-tinted eyes like Tsuzuki's amethyst ones.
Next, we have, "Son Goku, 17, an elite soccer player and famous for his sweet tooth." Good at soccer, huh? This guy isn't so special but I can't help imagining this 'Goku' arguing with Tsuzuki over food. The thought made me giggle a bit. Why am I thinking of him, anyway? He's probably sleeping in his room, dreaming. It's almost 1 in the morning and I haven't slept yet and I have classes tomorrow.
Probably, I'll get some rest after reading the last of the suspects. "Cho Hakkai, 17, trained in martial arts and has this ability of giving off handsome and dazzling smiles." WOW. This 'Hakkai' guy is handsome, he even poses a cute smile that could make a girl faint. I quickly glanced at his history and foud out that he was a consecutive and regular outstanding student. Amazing, Hakkai looks so perfect! But how could he have obtained such records if he was a demon? Konoe is keeping something from us, I can sense it. Oops! Did I just call 'Hakkai' by his name?
Oh well, I'm getting quite sleepy now. I stood up from the couch and went to prepare my things and ironed my uniform for tomorrow. When everything was done, I took a quick shower and glanced at the documents handed to me. "See you at school tomorrow."

author's notes: so, how'd you like it? I'm not pretty sure on what to write next but I'm sure the upcoming chapters would reveal shocking revelations. Maybe in the next one, I'd hint a sanzo x watari, a goku x tatsumi (weird huh? Just experimenting), a gojyo x tsuzuki , a hakkai x hisoka and the basic pairings (txh, wxt). I'm also thinking of adding muraki to the cast. Hehehe! Please review! Thanks for reading!
