Hisoka smiled.
He looked out at the floating furniture and scraps from the explosion.
"Hey." said Akira softly.
Hisoka looked at him, 'Yes?'
"What was your life like.before you died?" the dark boy asked curiously.
The green eyed Shinigami felt somewhat reluctant to speak.
Akira looked over to the boy and realized that he might have asked the wrong question, 'Never mind. Forget I asked' "My whole life was nothing but pain. During the times I was actually happy, I wasn't old enough to remember and the times I started to become neglected and hated always scars the back of my mind's eye" said Hisoka bluntly.
"What about your mother and father?" the cat eyed boy asked. Hisoka closed his eyes as if he was re-living it all over again, 'When they found out about my power, they started locking me up into a cell.
Constant Darkness.
Loneliness.
And neglect.
After all the emotional scars, I became a lot like you.
Cold and mean.
Closed off.
I didn't want anyone to come close to me because I was afraid of being hurt again. After I died, and some time passed, I met Tsuzuki.'
Akira sat up and looked into the water, 'And?' The young boy smiled, 'I learned to be someone opposite of what I use to be.' "But now you're weak. Don't you see? Now that you've allowed yourself to be opened toward people, you're more vulnerable than you were before" said the older boy.
Hisoka looked at him in wonder, 'You really think so?' The other boy gave a sharp nod, 'What happened right now if the perfect example. I asked you a question. One about how your life was when you were alive, and from what I gather it was a pretty painful life. Don't you see? You've just given me material to haunt you with. What if I decide to lock you up in a cell? You'd be right back to where you started'
Hisoka smirked, 'And what makes you think you'd be able to get me into a cell in the first place? You don't even know if you'll make it out of here alive' "True. I might not survive my current situation. But I do have full confidence in the fact that I can easily overpower you" Akira replied as he lied back down on the mattress.
He placed his hands underneath his head as he looked up at the red moon glaring down upon both of them.
Hisoka continued to look into the water which looked like blood from the moon's reflection.
As Akira admired the red tinge of the moon, he suddenly felt something within his body.
Another vision was flashing before his mind.
"So when do you change again?" Hisoka asked. The other boy sat up in wonder as to what the vision he just saw was about. It was quick and fast. To fast for him to understand. The green eyed Shinigami looked at him with concern, 'Are you alright?'
"Ya, ya I'm fine. What did you say before? I wasn't really paying attention" Said Akira. Hisoka sighed as he asked once again, ' I asked when do you change again' "Why do you want to know?" the cat eyed boy asked curiously. Hisoka cocked an eyebrow, 'What's wrong with wanting to know? I told you something personal about me, why can't you just return the favour?'
Another moment of silence passed before Akira replied, 'When the next red moon shows its ugly face. It's kind of like a ware wolf thing, only I change every month when the red shows itself'
"Do you pity yourself?" the young boy asked, avoiding eye contact. The dark haired boy's eyes wavered toward the current question,
'No, but I pity you'
"Why's that? Because of my past?" Hisoka asked as he stared at him. Akira dipped his feet into the water, moving them around slowly as he answered, 'Why don't you lie down. We need all the rest we can get' The pale boy didn't have to be told twice. He tiredly lay down on the mattress, looking up at the stars as Akira was.
The cat eyed boy stared at the younger one. His eyes were soft, and caring. As if he could feel the pain the young Shinigami had been through when he was alive.
"You're so young.and so innocent" said Akira in a hush whisper. The green eyed boy closed his eyes, 'I'm anything but innocence, and I may be young, but I'm only a year younger than you' Akira just continued to stare at him as if he was hypnotized. Hisoka sat up and looked at him in with a nervous kind of wonder, 'What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that?'
The dark haired boy looked away and clenched his fist in anger, 'You're so young and a Shinigami. All of this because of Muraki! For fuck sakes, I don't even own myself!'
"I told you"
Said Hisoka as he smiled. "Told me what?" said Akira in a disappointed manner. The green eyed boy looked up at the stars, 'That you and I are the same' "Alright. If we're so much alike, tell me how?" said Akira.
"We've been corrupted, cursed., and neglected. I don't and didn't expect you to be kind or polite toward me because I was, and somewhat still, the same. I didn't and still don't want some people to get close to me because I wouldn't know how to respond" he replied calmly, avoiding eye contact once again. He then sighed, 'It can't be helped. And just because I knew how you felt, I wasn't about to let you push me around'
Akira smiled, when suddenly another glimpse of his vision passed by his eyes. It was quick, but he knew what it was. "Shit." he said in a whisper. The green eyed Shinigami looked at him, 'What?' "Do you and water get along?" The dark boy asked. Hisoka growled as he looked out at the sea. The red moon started to disappear, and was quickly replaced with dark black clouds.
Soon, rain started to fall lightly, like the sound of a hundred people snapping their fingers. The rain then got heavy, blanketing them both in its wet sheet. "A storm. This isn't good" said Hisoka worriedly. Akira closed his eyes as he asked, 'How do you feel for a bit of hand holding once we get knocked into the water?' The young boy continued to look out while the sea became more violent.
"You think holding hands would be enough?" he replied. Akira chuckled, 'If you're willing to hold onto me, little boy, I'll be willing to hold onto you' Suddenly, the mattress started rocking crazily back and forth. Both of the boys knuckles where turning white from grasping the sheets.
They then turned and looked toward each other; faces as nervous as the other.
Quickly, Akira moved over to the boy and held him in a tight embrace, while Hisoka wrapped his arms around him securely. As they held onto each other, both of their attention was caught by a developing wave heading straight toward them.
Their eyes grew wider with fear as it grew wider with strength. "Akira." said Hisoka in fear. The older boy's expression was the same as Hisoka's. He kept his grip tight as he held the boy within his arms, waiting for the wave to attack. He gritted his teeth as the wave flowed in font of them. Time seemed to have stopped at that point.
They didn't know what would become of themselves after this point.
Then, the wave started to descend. But before it had hit them, Akira had pushed himself and the boy into the water, just before the wave had managed to even hit the mattress. Their bodies swirled under the deep, cold, dark water; grasping one another with all their might in a hug like embrace. They then started kicking to the surface, fighting to stay together, gasping for air into their hungry lungs when they finally reached it.
"SHIT! We need to find something to support us!" said Akira, with his arms still around the young frightened boy. He coughed as he accidentally swallowed some sea water. Hisoka then replied, 'I know but where there's nothing left since that wave crashed. Everything went under!' The sea became more and more violent, not giving the boys any hint of mercy.
They were then dragged under water once again.
Both of their faces were in a state of pain.
Their lungs starving for oxygen. Akira opened his eyes and loosened his grasp on Hisoka. The green eyed boy opened his eyes aswell and looked at the older boy who had grasped his arm firmly, looking at him softly, 'Hisoka.I.I don't think I'm meant to make it this time' Hisoka just looked at him in shock, not knowing what to do.
They were both in a critical situation and the current of the sea wouldn't allow them to surface.
Soon, once again, the dark haired boy collapsed. Bubbles floated from his dark lips while his eyes laid shut. A good three minutes passed since their recent visit to the surface.
The green eyed boy refused to get through this alone. That's what he's been through during his life and he didn't want to go through it again. He kept a very tight grip on the older boy and attempted to kick to the surface, but realised that the current was much to strong. It still continued to suck them under.
He looked back at Akira who didn't seem to be doing so well. A sense of concern came over the young boy as he continued to look at Akira. He knew that if he didn't do something right now, Akira couldn't be saved at all.
Hisoka's cheeks went beat red as he neared himself toward the boy's sleeping face. At first he was centimetres away,
Then inches,
And finally millimetres,
Until their lips finally met.
Hisoka quickly breathed into the boy's mouth, the air rushed down Akira's windpipe and into his lungs, filling them with life. Bubbles started floating from their mouths to the surface as Hisoka continued to bring Akira back to life.
Slowly, the dark boy started to open his eyes as he was able to breathe again. Hisoka quickly pulled away and looked up at the surface. The current started to slow itself down. The green eyed boy, placed his arms around Akira once again and started to kick madly toward the surface, hoping he would reach it in time. Akira kept his eyes closed tightly as he was starting to run out of breath once again.
Their heads splashed out above the surface. Both of them coughed, though Akira coughed more violently while Hisoka continued to support him in the water. He then asked with concern, 'Hey, Hey! Are you alright?!' The yellow eyed boy stopped coughing for a few short minutes, feeling pain in his chest from exhaustion. He then stared at the young Shinigami.
Hisoka just waited for a reply.
Akira opened his eyes to reply when the scene behind the green eyed boy rendered him speechless. "What is it? What's wrong?!" Hisoka asked angrily. Akira didn't take his eyes off what was behind the boy. Slowly, Hisoka started to turn around, expecting something deadly. He then came face to face with what seemed the largest wave he had ever seen, roaring with all its might, growling for their well beings.
Hisoka just stared at it as the huge squall like wave continued to flow on the attack. The both of them floated like small ants in a lake. "What do I do?" said Hisoka in thought, refusing to revert his eyes from the raging water, 'I know that I can survive out here, but Akira can't. What do I do?'
"H.Hisoka!" Akira yelled as the wave started to fall upon them. The young Shinigami gritted his teeth as he clutched onto the older boy tightly as if he was super glued. Akira locked his arms around the boy and waited for the worst. Both of them looked frightened and scared, like tow lost children waiting to be saved.
But they knew, that that wouldn't happen. They were alone and had to face the unknown and dangerous alone at such a young age. Such is the life of neglected children.
Both of them kept their eyes tightly shut; Hisoka's head laid on Akira's chest, feeling somewhat safe in his arms, while Akira growled in anger, wishing there was more he could do.
The wave then crashed down onto them.
The two boys were pushed under, being sucked under deeper and deeper until they could feel their ears pop. They fought the strong wave pressure, to stay together.
But the forces of nature were not to be underestimated.
Akira could feel his arms slipping off the young boy, aswell as the boy's hold onto him.
Soon, they both separated.
Both felt as if their hearts had stopped as they watched each other drift away into the unknown, not being able to do anything about it. Never had Akira felt such abandonment. He almost felt heartbroken in a way, though he wasn't sure why. It was as if being separated from Hisoka brought back a very familiar memory in his mind.
Soon, the dark boy's world started to become black once again. Breathing became very difficult. From that point on, he didn't care whether he woke up again.
Or not..

A/N: AH! I'm so sorry Yukie-chan! I meant to upload! It's just this weekend was so crazy! It being Victoria's day and all. I'm so sorry! I hope you can forgive me once again!
Akira looked over to the boy and realized that he might have asked the wrong question, 'Never mind. Forget I asked' "My whole life was nothing but pain.
