The Dog And The Cat

Chapter 5: Nothing much doggy
Tatsumi and Watari walked along the neighborhood, away from Tsuzuki's house.
"What are you thinking about Tatsumi?" Watari asked
"The cat. His shadow feels like the boy's but I'm not entirely sure" Tatsumi sighed
"Don't worry too much. If the boy hangs around Tsuzuki for too long he'll eventually turn good" Watari assured the secretary
"You may be right. But in any case, I'll need you to do something for me" Tatsumi began
"What do you need?" Watari asked
"I'll need you to look for any other activities Kurosaki-san has been doing for the last year or two and if he's been missing or spotted in another city" Tatsumi said
"Don't worry. I'll look for anything I can, everything from where he was born to even what he sleeps with" Watari said happy to receive a big assignment
"For now, let's head home" Tatsumi said and they continued
… … …
Tatsumi and Watari sat on the couch, drinking tea. It had been 15 minutes since Tatsumi arrived at Tsuzuki's house with the sick inu.
"Watari, did you find the information I asked you to look for?" Tatsumi asked his partner
"Oh, yeah" Watari took a folder in the table in front of them and handed it to Tatsumi, "You won't believe everything I found" Watari said
"………" Tatsumi silently read the contents of the folder
"And?" Watari asked
"*sigh* Watari, maybe its best if we talked about this folder at home, ok?" Tatsumi suggested
"Oh, he's here then? Ok, fine by me" Watari stood up and started to get ready to leave
"I hope nothing goes wrong" Tatsumi muttered
"Me neither" Watari said and they both left, Watari taking Tatsumi's hand
"Liar" Tatsumi said, thought unsure if he meant it to Watari or to Hisoka
… …
Hisoka came downstairs after the pair left and began cleaning plates.
"…" Hisoka remained quiet as he cleaned the plates
"Hisoka?" Tsuzuki arrived downstairs and sat on one of his couches
"What?" Hisoka asked as he approached the sick inu on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate
"Why are you here?" Tsuzuki asked as he took the cup Hisoka offered
"I'm not sure actually" Hisoka said truthfully, although he didn't want to
"… Have you seen Hisoka?" Tsuzuki asked happily
"What?" Hisoka almost fell out of the seat he took next to Tsuzuki
"Not you, a black cat that's living here" Tsuzuki smiled, content with Hisoka's reaction
"No" Hisoka said almost untruthful
"Oh. I guess it would be logical since he appears not to like company." Tsuzuki smiled
"…" Hisoka looked away, shamefully and with guilt residing in his eyes
"Hisoka?" Tsuzuki called the young boy
"What?" Hisoka asked
"Why are you doing all of this?"
"… … I'm looking for something that was stolen from me"
"What kind of things?"
"That's none of your business!!!" Hisoka yelled, standing up and dragging Tsuzuki to his room
"Hisoka…" Tsuzuki called the teen again as he was put to bed
"What now?" Hisoka asked annoyed
"Can you stay here?" Tsuzuki asked the boy kindly
"Baka" Hisoka muttered then left the room after Tsuzuki fell asleep
… … …
Next morning Tsuzuki woke up, fever already gone.
"Are? [Huh?] How did I get back home?" the amethyst eyed man asked himself confused
"Meow" Hisoka kitty jumped on the bed and walked towards Tsuzuki
"Hey Hisoka. Did Tatsumi bring me here last night?" he asked the black cat kindly
"Meow" Hisoka responded annoyed with Tsuzuki, then left the room
"Well that got me nowhere" Tsuzuki said to himself then left the comforts of the bed to take a nice deserved bath
"…" Hisoka kitty watched Tsuzuki leave the house after his bath and change of clothes
… …
"Hi minna!!!" Tsuzuki enters the office in all his genki ways
"Tsuzuki-san, is your cold gone now?" a girl, probably no older than 16 asked
"Yup! Tatsumi took care of me last night!" Tsuzuki said
"… … …" the office fell silent
"What?" Tsuzuki asked confused
"Tsuzuki, Tatsumi was with me last night" Watari approached them as Wakaba looked at Tsuzuki worriedly
"Really? 'Cause all I remember is falling asleep in the streets last night then waking up in my bed earlier" Tsuzuki tilted his head left and right
"Short memory loss. Comes with high fever." Watari said, going into thought and leaving the office
"Watari?" they called him but he was long gone
"Tsuzuki-san, are you up for another round around town?" Tatsumi asked Tsuzuki
"Sure" Tsuzuki said and they left the office
… … …
"So, you're saying someone erased his mind about yesterday?" Tatsumi asked Watari
Watari and Tatsumi were at their house, the one they bought after they got to Earth. Both males sat on the table, doing work. Watari with a laptop and Tatsumi with the information Watari had given him about Hisoka.
"Yup. I'm guessing it was Hisoka, since you yourself said he was there yesterday" Watari told him as he didn't take his eyes off the screen
"How would he have done that?" Tatsumi asked, now organizing the paperwork
"I'm checking, I'm checking" Watari said
"Alright" Tatsumi drank some coffee
"By the way, how where things today at the city?" Watari asked, drinking from the same cup as Tatsumi
"The same. We saw Kurosaki-san only once, followed him then he disappeared"
"Aha!" Watari yelled
"What did you find?" Tatsumi went to look at what Watari found
"In this city, there has only been one more student in the Art of Illusion class, downtown" Watari said happily as Tatsumi looked at the screen to see a picture of Hisoka.
"Your point being?"
"This illusion class is only for the people with certain abilities, namely empaths, since they learn faster" Watari explained, "And it says here that Kurosaki Hisoka has another ability that only the teacher knows about"
"You're saying it could have something to do with why he keeps disappearing?" Tatsumi asked
"It could have been the illusion tricks he learned, but if your correct with your instinct, he could have something to do with the cat" Watari said
"Ahh, I see. Thank you Watari" Tatsumi smiled at the blond man
"Anything for you luv" Watari smiled and Tatsumi kissed him
… …
"Ahhhh. I'm so tired" Tsuzuki laid on his bed after a bath
"Meow" Hisoka kitty said from his 'bed' by the window
"We need to find Hisoka quick, don't you agree?" Tsuzuki asked the cat, but it had fallen asleep awhile ago, "That's no fun" Tsuzuki said and went to bed
… …
"Sir, we have reports that it's true that your doll is staying with the shinigami" a man told his boss
"I see… So he believes that he can get to me by betraying me? We shall see about that" a sliver haired man stood from his chair
"Boss, what shall we do?" the man asked
"Contact Oriya. Tell him it's time Kurosaki Hisoka started taking us seriously" he said and the man left, "My dear sweet Hisoka. My doll. Do not worry. We shall be together again. I will not let this shinigami take you from me. I, Muraki Kazutaka, swear it!"
