A/N: I had a blank spot on my mind, on what to write for the meeting, but,
now I have an idea. Please Enjoy!
Muraki sensed a presence he hadn't felt in almost 4 years.
"So, she's returned? I wonder what has changed..."
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami no Matsuei, just the plot, and even that is too a point.
"This is a very important meeting. This girl I have mentioned in the information previously given has some key identification features and attributes. It seems that when she has fought against local authorities, she has used powers of the wind, the water, the earth, and the fire," Tatsumi explained.
"Oh, like she's an Alchemist? I thought they had all died out! I wanna meet her!!!" Watari whined, "Let's go find her now!"
"That's the problem. She always escapes by riding on the back of a big bird, or by using wings that seem to be part of her. These wings are black, so we have decided to call her for the time, The Black Winged Angel," Tatsumi replied. I yawned.
"Where was she last seen? Maybe I should go and check it out," I suggested.
"No Hisoka, you better look after Tsuzuki, and since he has been sick for so long, I've taken the liberty of calling a healer to come and see him," Tatsumi explained, "And now let me show you a few shots and some criminal drawings the police have done." I was speechless at this. Tsuzuki actually needed a healer? Not a doctor, but a healer?
"C'mon Tatsumi, don't be such a downer. Let's go find this Alchemist!" Watari said, now completely self-absorbed in the fact he could meet an Alchemist. I sighed; this meeting has just gone to the dogs.
"Don't you think so Hisoka?" came Wakaba.
"Say what? Sorry, my mind must have drifted," I said, trying to focus.
"Never mind. The rest of the report is in the folders I am passing around. Just study it. This meeting was a waste of time, wasn't it?" Tatsumi asked. We all froze. Tatsumi doesn't like to waste time.
"Ummm... goodbye. I uh, really... better make sure Tsuzuki isn't in too bad of conditions... when is the healer arriving?" I asked tentatively.
"In about an hour. She said she didn't have anything else to do today, so she'd be over soon. Yes, you should head back," Tatsumi said, "We can manage without you or Tsuzuki for now." Thanks for small mercies. I grabbed my folder and ran out. Geeze, I wasn't about to push it. He seemed mad... then again, wasn't he always?
"Oh, Hisoka, did you pick me up some medicine?" Tsuzuki asked, coming out of the bathroom.
"No, but I did manage to find out Tatsumi has a healer coming over..." I paused as he dove back into the bathroom, and then yelled, "And she should be over in an hour!" I didn't hear a reply, nope; it was replaced by the sounds of a multicolor yawn. I sat down in a chair near the bed and waited patiently, and then noticed the bucket by the bed needed to be rinsed out, so I joined Tsuzuki in the bathroom, emptying out the throw-up bucket.
"I hate to say it, but I'm glad someone's coming. It's good; I'm bored just taking care of minor things. We haven't done a real case in a while!" I muttered over the sounds, and Tsuzuki flushed the toilet.
"How soon?" he asked.
"Soon, now, I've emptied the bucket and I'll put it back. Try to get some sleep," I instructed, and helped him back to the bed and putting the bucket back on the nightstand where it originally was. Then Tsuzuki tried to get to sleep, and he did, for about thirty minutes. It seemed all I could do was to be waiting...
I heard the front bell go off, she was here! I dashed over to the door and opened it wide up. It was her... thank goodness...
"Hi! I'm the Forest Healer," she said, smiling at me, "I was told someone had stomach flu?"
"Oh, yes, he's trying to sleep right now," I explained, hearing the unpleasant background noise, "I guess he's up now!"
"Let me examine him," she instructed. I nodded and ushered her in. Wait a moment; she looked like the girl in those pictures... the ones in the file I had taken back.
"Uh, hi!" Tsuzuki greeted weakly, collapsed on the bed.
"I don't even think he's throwing up food anymore," I said worriedly, "well, I don't think he's done that for a long time... thrown up food, I mean..."
"I shall examine him," she said, and sat down on the bed next to Tsuzuki and placed her hands on his chest and closed her eyes. I felt a strange power emanate from her as she did whatever she was doing. Tsuzuki stopped looking so pale and then he fell deep asleep.
"What was that?" I asked, "What did you do to him?"
"I put him into an enchanted sleep. His illness is great," she said, now speaking in a soft, almost haunting voice.
"Is there a cure?" I asked her worriedly.
"Yes, but I shall need to remain here a few days to monitor him and make sure that he is fighting off this illness as I treat him," she said.
"How much will it cost?" I asked.
"Cost? It will cost nothing at all;" she said looking a little offended, "A healer's job is to heal, not to make money."
"Oh, I'm sorry," I replied.
"No matter. But I shall need a place to sleep while I tend to Mr. what should I call him?" she asked.
"Oh, call him Tsuzuki, just Tsuzuki, and we have a spare bedroom here you can remain in," I said, "I'll go prepare it if you wish." I had no reason to distrust her yet. It was just, Tsuzuki really needed to get better, Tatsumi had found her and I really was desperate to get out and do something, for which I needed Tsuzuki better.
"Thank you," she replied.
"Would you like some tea?" I asked.
"That would be lovely," she sighed. She appeared to have multiple personalities. Who was she? Why did she look so familiar to the woman in the pictures?
"Yes, I could use some too. I'll be back in a while," I said, and walked towards the kitchen. She seemed to be okay. But to think, there'd be a woman around the house for a few days! Although, I got the distinct sort of feeling that if we made her mad, she could deliver a blow and we wouldn't know what hit us. These next few days would be interesting...
A/N: and so please read and review. I'll try an attempt at semi longer chapters. I usually either make mine too short or too long, so I am attempting to find a balance. Read and Review!
