The Dog And The Cat

Chapter 4: The dog gets sick

"The boy can change into a cat?!" Watari yelled surprised and Hisoka fainted

"No. That Hisoka is just a stray I found that's living in my house" Tsuzuki ran to Hisoka and picked him up

"He looks like he's been running for a while" Tatsumi pointed out when he and Watari came close

"It's probably the loose dogs they keep around here" Tsuzuki sighed and went inside the house, followed by Tatsumi and Watari after they glanced at each other

… … …

"Still, who knew Hisoka's fur was really soft?" Tsuzuki wondered to himself

"You've never touched him?" Watari asked

All three males dispersed themselves on Tsuzuki's sofa and were drinking.

"He never lets me touch him" Tsuzuki sighed

"Ahhh" Watari said

"Tsuzuki-san, why do you keep the cat?" Tatsumi asked

"It's not like I keep him, is just that he keeps coming back and thanks to him, I wake up early in the morning" Tsuzuki said happily

"I see" Tatsumi took a sip of his tea, "Well, we'd better go" Tatsumi stood up and started to leave, followed by Watari

Tsuzuki saw them off and headed back inside.

"Haaa" Tsuzuki sat back on the sofa and tried to get some shut eye

"…" Tsuzuki looked to his right and saw Hisoka (yup, the human)

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki stood up but Hisoka stopped him and sat him on the couch

"…" Hisoka stared at Tsuzuki

"Hisoka…" Tsuzuki started, "Why are you doing this? Why are you killing all of those demons?" Tsuzuki asked softly

"I'm looking for something" Hisoka softly replied

Darkness was taking over Tsuzuki but he managed to hear Hisoka.

"I won't stop until I get them back"

And Tsuzuki fell asleep.

… … …

Tsuzuki slowly opened his eyes.

"Meow" Tsuzuki looked to his right on the floor and saw Hisoka (the kitty this time)

"Morning" Tsuzuki smiled and noticed the blanket that was covering him, "Was this you?" he asked Hisoka

"Meow" the cat coldly replied and walked away

"Guess not" Tsuzuki laid on the couch again, "Was last night a dream?" Tsuzuki wondered to himself, about the Hisoka he saw last night in his house

Tsuzuki decided to ignore it for now.

He stood up and went to take a bath. Afterwards he went to work.

… … …

"You should listen to your elders Hisoka" Jack sat on a round table, in front of Hisoka the human

"You don't have to worry about me, just give the next one" Hisoka said coldly as he drank his tea

"*sigh* I give you clothes to help you with your powers and the suspects, why can't you at least listen to me?" Jack asked handing Hisoka a piece of paper

"I do listen to you. I just don't care about it" Hisoka told him as he took the paper and shoved it in his pocket, "And leave what you give me out of it"

"Hai, hai. Aren't you the bite full neko-chan?" Jack said sarcastically

"What have you told the shinigami?" Hisoka asked, glaring death daggers at Jack

"Nothing much. Just warnings about you" Jack smirked

"Jack! That's not part of our agreement!" Hisoka stood up angrily

"Chill. I won't spill the beans about your plan and them treasure you're looking for" Jack waved, signaling a 'no'

"You'd better not. Besides, this is benefit to you as well, ain't I right?" it was Hisoka's turn to smirk now

"Hisoka, that's a thin line you're walking" Jack warned him

"Don't worry. I'm not the type to that to you. After all, we both want revenge" Hisoka sat back

"Well, it was a pleasure to do business with you as always" Jack stood up, putting on his long jacket

"See ya" Hisoka waved goodbye

"Oh, yes. Before I forget. About your shinigami owner-"

"What owner?"

"*ahem* Let me rephrase that. About your shinigami 'friend', Asato…"

"What about the idiot?"

"Rumors are flying that the little ice prince has a koi and the white bastard doesn't like that" Jack warned Hisoka

"I still haven't spoken to him and he thinks he owns me?"

"Well, he is the one with your treasures"

"I won't subdue. I'll kill all his followers and rend him helpless" Hisoka said

"Well, that's all" Jack left some tip on the table and left

"I'll kill that bastard" Hisoka murmured then remember something and left, 'Damn stupid rumors'

… … …

"Tsuzuki-san, are you coming?" Tatsumi asked the bored inu

"……Ah? Oh, yeah" Tsuzuki looked up then followed Tatsumi out of the office, "Say, where's Watari?"

"I asked Watari-san to do some errands for me" Tatsumi said as they headed towards the liveliest part of town

"Oh. What kind of errands?" Tsuzuki asked curiously

"The kind of errands that concern him and me as partners"

"Are you two hiding something from me that has to do with this case?"

"There are theories we'll discuss with you once we prove them"

"Stch" Tsuzuki pouted

"Now, Tsuzuki-san. You don't have to worry. And besides we were the original pair in this case" Tatsumi said, smiling at Tsuzuki

"*sigh* I guess you're right" Tsuzuki said as both males went into a coffee shop

"…"

"…"

"…"

With out either knowing it, they passed Hisoka, who was leaving the coffee shop.

"Tatsumi, did you feel like we just missed something?" Tsuzuki asked

"Somehow, yes" Tatsumi said and both males sat on a table

… …

"Ne, Tatsumi?" Tsuzuki called his friend as they walked along the low districts of the city again

"Yes, Tsuzuki-san?"

"Why do you think Hisoka's been killing all of these demons?"

"Again with this question? You've already asked me this like a hundred times" Tatsumi said.

"But I want to know if you have a clue as to what could motivate him to kill so many demons"

"*sigh* Tsuzuki-san, I have no idea why this child is killing so many demons but I assure you that when I know, I will tell you" Tatsumi said, turning to look at Tsuzuki

"What about his past?" Tsuzuki asked

"Excuse me?"

"Does anyone his past?"

"For know, no. But we are searching"

"Who is?"

"I've asked the Gushoshin to look for information"

"Ahh, soka [I see]" Tsuzuki sat down on the floor tired

"Tsuzuki-san, are you alright?" Tatsumi asked, kneeling down to check on his friend

"Yeah, just a little tired" Tsuzuki said

"Tsuzuki-san…you have a fever"

"I'm ok"

"Come now. You've been working too long" Tatsumi picked up Tsuzuki and dragged him to his house

… …

"Come on. We're almost there" Tatsumi said as they turned the corner to Tsuzuki's house

"…" Tsuzuki didn't reply

"Here we-" Tatsumi stopped cold in front of Tsuzuki's steps

"…" emerald eyes stared at blue ones

"Hello" Tatsumi said

"Looks like I don't have to worry now" Hisoka stood up from the steps and passed Tatsumi

"Why would he-?" Tatsumi was speechless

… …

"Is he ok?" Watari asked Tatsumi

Watari arrived after Tatsumi called him, once he settled Tsuzuki in bed and called him

"Yes, it's only a slight fever" Tatsumi said and both males left the room

"… … …" Tsuzuki opened his eyes and stood from his bed

Tsuzuki approached the window, where Hisoka kitty would, at first, usually sleep, and opened one part of it.

"There, now he can get in" Tsuzuki smiled and went back to bed

Silence covered the room as one figure entered from the window.

"Sheesh, why does he have to leave the window open like that?" Hisoka human entered the room after he managed to open the window completely so he could get in

"zzzzz" Tsuzuki was still asleep, fever still there

"………*sigh* Don't you know you have to take care of your body?" Hisoka sighed and started to take care of Tsuzuki

… … …
