Wah, I'm back with another chapter. I hope you all enjoy this one. Thank you so much for the reviews.

Chapter 1

Love is… patience.

"Do you have any plans tonight?" The emerald-eyed cupid asked Tsuzuki, soon after he closed his room door.

"I don't remember having one," He answered, scratched his head and smiled. "Nope, I don't think so."

"Sou desu ka?" Hisoka asked sternly as he stared at him.

"Ei?" Tsuzuki looked at him surprised. "What? What did I do?"

"Care book!" Hisoka chanted, as his hand dug into a bag, which appeared from nowhere, and pulled an antique hard covered book. He flipped the book rapidly in front of the purple-eyed man. "Here," He said, finally stopped at page fifty-five. "See," He ordered, pushing the book closer to Tsuzuki's face and read it aloud, "Tuesday, 7.30pm, meet Minase Hijiri after school. You promise to go with him to the arcade. Plus, he'll be meeting you here, at your house."

Tsuzuki slapped his forehead. "Damn! I can't believe I forgot that."

Hisoka shook his head and sighed. "I'd expected that to happen," He said and flipped open another document in his left hand. "This is your mistake. Love Rule number one, never ever forget to fulfill your promise after you made one. Do you know the punishment in doing so?"

Tsuzuki stared at him, with a large round sad puppy eyes.

"'Girls' leave you." Hisoka answered sharply and flung the book and document up and it disappeared. "You're always forgetting your 'date-day'." He looked out the window and grinned. "It's still early, though…"

"NOO!" Tsuzuki shrieked when he looked at his watch. His voice was earsplitting that Hisoka had to cover his ears. "7.15pm already?!"

Suddenly the doorbell rang just as Tsuzuki pulled the white towel from the rack behind the boy and tossed his clothes into the basket. "Hisoka-kun, could you please open the door for me?" Tsuzuki asked as he stuck his head out of the bathroom door.

"I know, I know," Hisoka grumbled as he raised his voice. "You don't have to tell me that!" He drifted right through the door.

"Thanks!" Tsuzuki smiled and closed the bathroom door.

Where is Tsuzuki?" It's already 7.30pm! Hijiri kept pushing the doorbell. "Coming!" A voice, which he didn't recognize came from the other side of the door. Since when does Tsuzuki live with a girl?

Then the door opened wide. The kid stood in front of him with both hands inside his pockets.

"Em, can I see Tsuzuki?" Hijiri asked.

Silence.

"Uh, do you know a guy by the name Tsuzuki?"

Silence.

"Aa, does he even exist in this area?"

Hisoka glared at him. He could read almost everything that Hijiri was thinking and what he was reading now didn't really excite him. "You are Hijiri, I assumed."

"…Yeah," The boy in front of him frowned. How did he know him?

"Enter," Hisoka answered briefly as he pushed the door wide just enough to fit Hijiri's body. "Make yourself at home. Tsuzuki is still in the bathroom, taking his shower. Do you want anything?" He asked as he made his way to the kitchen.

Hijiri almost shrieked when he noticed a pair of white wings behind Hisoka's back. He suspiciously followed the green-eyed boy into the kitchen as he held out his hand to feel the wings. Somehow, he felt a soft air lingered through his fingers. He wanted to 'feel' more when suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"Hijiri!" Tsuzuki called out and giggled. "Gomen, I almost forget our date."

Hijiri blushed. "We're not going on a date, Tsuzuki."

Tsuzuki gave him a sheepish smile when he realized Hisoka standing by the kitchen door with his hands on his waist. He winked and tugged Hijiri closer to Hisoka. "Gomen, I forgot to introduce you two. Hisoka, this is Hijiri and Hijiri, this is Hisoka."

Hijiri reluctantly hands out his hand to shake Hisoka's hand. Apparently Hisoka too, ignored him and continued staring back at him. The boy drew back his hand and flashed him a fake smile. "Nice to meet you,too."

"Don't get so sulky," Tsuzuki said, held both of them by their hands. Tsuzuki grabbed the keys from the shelf and made their way out of the house. "You know, I just realize that both of you really look alike."

Both of them stopped and glared at him.

"What are you talking about? That's a girl." Hijiri asked angrily.

"Please do not associate me with any low lives, Tsuzuki-san," Hisoka snapped, cutting Hijiri's words. "And mister, I am not a girl."

"Ha…ha…ha…, let's go now," He said after a little debate between them. Hijiri and him walked out of the door and were surprised to see Hisoka standing still on one of the streetlights. "Why are you following us?"

Hisoka disappeared and appeared beside Tsuzuki. "Baka, I'm your cupid," He whispered into his ears. "I'm supposed to follow you until you find your true love. It'll be totally great if I could just get the freaking hell out of here, but unfortunately, I can't."

Tsuzuki scratched his head. "Don't tell me you have to go with us?"

"I have too!" Hisoka said.

"Can he?" The purple-eyed man was in a fix to tell Hijiri but, somehow he didn't seemed to mind at all, well at least that was what he thought.

Hisoka tagged along. Hisoka knew, deep down inside Hijiri's heart, he too, didn't like him from the beginning.

Love is…needing time and space.

"Wah, Tsuzuki-san, You're dating two 'girls in a night?" They met Yuma on the way to the arcade.

Tsuzuki laughed. "Yuma-chan, don't make fun of me. I'm just accompanying Hijiri to the new arcade. Hisoka is staying with me for a while, so I just asked him to go along with us."

"The 'Arcade Station'?" Yuma asked sternly.

"What's wrong?" Hijiri asked, looking a little afraid.

Yuma looked around and gave them a mysterious look. "I'm not going to forbid you from going there," Her voice was almost whispering. "But, I heard that last night, a man with silver hair, silver eyes and white outfit came to the arcade. When he left, a man was found dead, blood-drained. Someone said that he had a fight with the mysterious man."

"Are you saying that that 'silverman' killed him?" Hisoka asked.

Yuma snickered. "I'm not suggesting anything. Well, I'd better go now!" She waved her hand and ran towards a red car.

The sky suddenly was filled with dark gray clouds and once in a while, thunder could be heard.

"Tsuzuki, let's go elsewhere. I don't feel safe there," Hijiri pulled Tsuzuki's arm.

"But, where do you want to go?"

"I'M GOING!"

Tsuzuki and Hijiri spun around. Hisoka stared at them. Tsuzuki noticed the determination in his eyes. "You're going there? Alone?"

"If I have too," He said and left both of them.

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki lifted up his legs to follow but stopped when he felt Hijiri tugging his arm again.

"Tsuzuki-kun, let's go somewhere else," He begged.

Tsuzuki watched hopelessly at Hisoka, who was running into the dark alley and stared back into Hijiri's pitiful face. What am I supposed to do?!

Poor Tsuzuki-san… there, end of chapter one. Please review and tell me what do you think. Ideas and comments are very welcomed ^-^
