He felt himself sinking deeper and deeper, feeling the pressure squeeze
onto his body.
Slowly, gaining the courage, he opened his eyes slightly only to be staring
into a pair of beautiful emerald ones.
Akira just stared at the figure, swimming infront of him.
"You idiot.damn you Hisoka." he said in anger.
The green eyed boy swam closer to Akira, placing his arms under the drowning boy's in almost a hug like position. The cat eyed boy kept his eyes tightly shut while Hisoka kicked to the surface. Akira opened his eyes slightly, feeling his breath span running to its limit. "Why did you save me." he said in thought, knowing the young boy could hear his words.
There was a moment of suspense and excitement toward their situation. Akira was running out of breath. Regardless of how tired he was, the young Shinigami continued to kick for the surface but still managed to reply, 'I jumped so that Muraki wouldn't have a sense of satisfaction' Soon both of them reached the surface, their heads bobbing above the water.
Akira inhaled deeply, craving air desperately. It felt so good to breathe again. Hisoka helped keep the other boy's head above the water, knowing that he wouldn't be able to swim for himself. He then waited until Akira caught his breath and spoke, 'Listen. I'm going to have to let you go. You're going to go under for a bit, but by the time I untie you, you should be able to swim by yourself, alright?'
The cat eyed boy gave a sharp nod as he gasped here and panted there, while spitting out water every once in awhile. Hisoka released the boy and instantly he submerged under the cold hell once again. Akira held his breath. A dizzy feeling quickly took over him while Hisoka quickly untied his ropes, freeing the older boy from his prison. Without hesitation, Akira pushed his hands downward and kicked for the surface.
Once again he inhaled deeply as he reached the surface. The crisp night air soothing his lungs. Hisoka swam infront of him, 'Are you ok? Can you swim' "Of course I can swim.I'm just a bit tired." replied the boy. When Hisoka was just about to retaliate against the other boy's reply,
Unexpectedly
A huge explosion was heard. The two boys were engulfed by a huge wave as a result from the explosion.
Both of them struggled to keep themselves under control while under the watery prison. Akira opened his eyes as Hisoka kicked to the surface. Quickly, the cat eyed boy did the same. "Tsuzuki!!!" the green eyed Shinigami yelled out loudly as he started swimming toward the now blown-to-bits ship. "Hisoka! HISOKA!" Akira yelled as he grabbed the boy. Hisoka turned around in anger as Akira glared at him , ' I don't think you need to worry about Tsuzuki at this very moment. Right now, we need to find something to float upon. We can't swim forever alright?'
The young boy closed his eyes in anger, ' I should have pushed him off.that idiot.' "Hey. It's not as if he could have died anyways! So stop sulking. I'm the one alive here, so let's focus more toward this matter ok? I just figured out that drowning is not my style of death" said the dark boy coldly as he swam toward some wreckage from the explosion. Some of it was still raining down. Hisoka floated in the water for a few seconds, registering what Akira had said. "Is that how it's going to be? No one will care how I feel just because I'm already dead?" he said in thought.
"Shit. Everything's to small!" growled Akira as he continued to search. He swam by wooden boards, suitcases, clothes, but nothing big enough to support him. He then stopped and floated in the water for a few seconds before realizing the true danger of their situation, 'Fuck! This is Bullshit!', he closed his eyes, 'Why did it have to end this way.Even if this night is the last night I'm alive, even in death I'll hunt Muraki down. I don't care what it takes.'
As he floated there, he opened his eyes and looked up into the night sky. The stars were twinkling beautifully; the reflection bouncing off of his handsome eyes. Slowly, he could feel himself sinking below the water. His strength was starting to flow out of him. He was weak. He was tired.
He wanted everything to just stop so that his heart, mind, and soul could finally be at rest.
But as long as Muraki's heart beat, Akira would never be at rest. Suddenly, a voice called out to the cat eyed boy, 'Akira! Over here!' The boy gasped into the air and looked around as if he was filled with strength. He looked in the distance to see his comrade sitting on a floating mattress.
Offering his hand. His help.
"Common Akira! Swim!" Hisoka yelled as he continued to reach out his hand. The dark boy gathered all the strength he could and started to swim toward the boy. His breathing was becoming short as he fought to stay above the water. His whole body wanted to give up, but his determination wouldn't allow that.
Not now.at the least.
"Damnit.just.a bit more" He said in thought as he continued to swim.
Unexpectedly, he stopped.
Hisoka watched in horror as Akira started to fall below the surface. "I can't.I'm weak.I don't deserve to live" said Akira in thought as his whole body gave out. Once again the cold water started to split his mind into two. It was hard to concentrate and he held his breath for as long as he could.
Everything went black.
Hisoka quickly jumped into the water and dived after the boy. He quickly scanned under the water until his emerald eyes laid upon Akira's unconscious figure. Quickly he swam toward him and grasped him firmly, kicking quickly toward the surface.
Luckily, the surface wasn't that far from where Akira has fallen. Soon both of them came above the water's surface. Hisoka took in a breath.
But Akira hadn't.
Swiftly, as fast as his legs and arms would allow him, the green eyed boy swam toward the mattress which was only a few meters away. Hisoka continued to keep a firm grip on the boy, not letting him go. Finally to what seemed like an eternity, his free hand grabbed the edge of the floating mattress.
His first priority at the moment was getting Akira up first, which he did with partial difficulty. He then pulled himself up on the mattress, quickly turning his attention to the unconscious boy who laid there motionless.
"Akira.Akira! Wake up!" he growled as he shook the boy with concern. The older boy continued to stay silent. Hisoka placed his ear to the boy chest and couldn't hear him breathing. Quickly, the young boy placed his hands on the older boy's chest and started pumping his chest. Trying to get him to breath again, 'Damnit! Breathe!'
Hisoka growled as he tried desperately to bring Akira back to life. An odd task for an Angel of Death. Wild thoughts ran through the boy's mind as he tried desperately to resuscitate the boy. He could feel Akira's death lingering all over his body. "Why am I trying. Should I let death take him. Or should I continue to fight for his life." he said in thought while still pumping.
Suddenly, Akira's eyes opened. Hisoka backed away, giving the boy room to hack up the water. Akira coughed violently as water spewed from his purple lips. Hisoka sat at the edge of the mattress looking at the older boy in anticipation, wondering if he was ok.
Akira leaned off the side of the mattress. His head was mere inches from the water's surface. Silence over took the mood when the cat eyed boy asked, 'Why did you save me again.' "There's more to you than I had thought. There are secrets buried deep within your soul that I want to find out." Hisoka replied.
Akira sat up and wiped his mouth off with the sleeve of his blouse. He then smirked at the boy, 'What makes you think I have secrets? And what makes you think you'll find answers, if I do happen to have secrets?' Hisoka sat there quietly then spoke, 'While I was trying to bring you back from death, you could say I got a sample of the secrets you obtain. That plus I have a sense of logic if you hadn't noticed'
Akira took in a deep breath as he looked out at the ocean water, 'Really? You could have fooled me. So what do you want me to say? Do you want my thanks and expect me to be nice to you from now on?' "I don't expect anything from you. So don't worry" Hisoka replied. Akira laughed, 'Good. Because you're not getting any sort of gratitude from me at all. Just because you happened to of saved my life twice, doesn't mean I'm going to worship you'
Hisoka avoided eye contact with the older boy as he angrily clutched the wet sheets underneath him. "Another reason I saved your life.
If because I knew Tsuzuki would have done the same."
He said quietly in thought, hoping his partner was alright. "He's fine.shit, stop wrecking your brain over it. You're just going to end up a nervous wreck. He's dead anyways, so why would it matter?" Akira interrupted.
Finally, Hisoka snapped.
"Stop saying that! Just shut up! You don't know anything about us, so stop dragging conclusions" He yelled. Akira looked at him with a cocked eyebrow, 'But it's true. You guys are dead. Why worry?'
"That Doesn't Mean We Can't Feel Pain! We may be dead, but we can still feel things just as much as you can." He retaliated. Akira sighed as he lied down onto the mattress, looking up at the stars. Yet again, a strange silence took over. Until Hisoka gathered the courage to speak, 'How do you know he's ok.'
"I'm precognetic remember?" Akira replied. The green eyed boy started to feel relief as he asked, 'You saw this? You saw him? And what about us? What's gonna happen to us? Do you know?' The cat eyed boy turned his head and looked at the young Shinigami, 'I already know that you'll be alright, but I'm not sure about my well being. Your friend Tsuzuki, however, is fine. You need not worry about him'
"I see." said the boy, finally starting to relax. "Hey, you're a Shinigami. Can't you disappear or something?" Akira asked as he continued to look up at the stars. The fire from the explosion started to die down. Hisoka shifted his feet, 'Do you want me to?'
Akira closed his eyes and sat up. Hisoka looked at him as he looked back, 'Why would it matter? You should have let me drown the first time when that prick pushed me over. Everything would have been settled and neither you nor I would be in this current situation' "What're are you implying?" the boy questioned.
Akira just stared at him as if he saw something. Something that would happen in the near future. Something he didn't want to become a reality.
The cat eyed boy looked away and sighed. Hisoka closed his eyes, 'You see something when looking at me, don't you.' "Keep your mouth shut. When I look at you, I only see annoyance. I see nothing when I look at you so don't flatter yourself." He said as he lied back down on the side of his wet body; his back toward the young Shinigami.
Hisoka looked into the water, watching his reflection. He stayed strong and kept his anger back. But there was a reason for this. Usually he would fight back is someone would tell him off or argue. But this situation was different yet very much the same.
"You and I are very much alike, no matter how hard you want to deny it" he said suddenly. "Say what you want because I'm not like at all" said Akira coldly. "You're afraid" Hisoka said bravely. The cat eyed boy laughed, 'Afraid of what? You? Give me a fuckin break. Just because you have super natural powers doesn't mean I'm afraid'
Hisoka smirked slightly, 'Oh, I didn't expect you to fear me at all. In fact, I knew you wouldn't from the moment you first laid a punch on me. But I did expect you to answer the way you did. You are the way I was before. You try so hard to avoid showing your true persona, so that no one can hurt you. You make up this whole new person to escape reality and hide everyone and everything away from you'
Everything went quiet. A few minutes passed before the cat eyed boy said anything.
"No" he said out of no where.
Hisoka looked at the boy curious, 'No what?'
"I don't want you to disappear."Akira replied calmly.
