Chapter 11: Keep losing stuff doggy, it never ends
Maila stands in front of the Red Dragon, nervous. She gulps and enters it.
"Hello, welcome to Red Dragon" the man at the counter greets her, ignoring the bandages Maila has.
"I'm looking for Muraki Kazutaka, the owner" Maila tell him and the man flinches. Maila smirks at this.
"Kazutaka-dono is not here at the moment" the man tells her.
"What do you mean he's not here?! Don't lie to me! I know he's here!" Maila banged on the desk.
"A-aahh…" the man was nervous.
"What is going on here?" Muraki arrived as Maila turned around to face him, "Aah. Maila-san, how good to see you again." Muraki smiled at her.
"Kazutaka-san" Maila said bowing her head a bit.
"Won't you join me for tea?" Muraki asked and Maila nodded.
Maila followed Muraki into a room after he talked to the man in the counter.
"Sit down please." Muraki offered her a chair on the small round table.
"Thank you, now-" the door knocked, "Yes, please. Come in" Muraki said and the door opened to reveal Hisoka.
Maila gasped as she stood up quickly.
"Here you go Muraki-sama" Hisoka handed Muraki a tray with a tea pot and three cups.
"Muraki…sa…ma…?" Maila asked.
"Yes, Hisoka is my devoted follower, he does not think. Just does stuff for us." Muraki took the tray and put it on the table.
"Muraki-sama, wasn't there another person here?" Hisoka asked innocently.
"No, just us." Muraki said.
"Then, why three cups?" Hisoka looks confused at the cups as Maila mentally slaps herself. Hisoka became very dumb.
"You are our third guest" Muraki hugs Hisoka and Maila wishes to jump on him and bite him to pieces.
"Thank you Muraki-sama, but what about my work?" Hisoka asks
"Hold on a second Muraki!" Maila stands up, "I'm tired of this game! Why did you bring Hisoka in here?! To make me suffer?! To make me want to beg?! Well, up yours! Now are we gonna get to the point where you tell me why the f*** you took Hisoka's memories?! {Sissy: she shouldn't be saying this. Jack: Maila?!}" Maila yelled with all her strength.
"Hisoka dear, I'm afraid you might not be joining us. Now go to work please. I have something to discuss with my guest." Muraki led Hisoka out the door and Maila noticed before he left, that Hisoka smirked.
"…" Maila became quiet as the room welcomed an eerie silence.
"Now, then. Should we get to business?" Muraki approached Maila very slowly.
"…Aah…ah…" Maila became scared.
JACK!!!!
… … …
Jack ran like there was no tomorrow towards Maila's apartment. He hoped it wasn't true. He really wished it wasn't.
'Maila, don't ya dare do this to me. I lost you once. And I'm not planning on losing ya again' Jack thought determined.
"Wait, Watari" Tatsumi stopped Watari from their 'workout'.
"Mou! What now?!" Watari asked, annoyed.
"I sense Jack-san's shadow leaving this place in a big hurry. There also seems to a big burden on it" Tatsumi said, "Wait… Something has happened to Maila-san"
"Sokka" Watari gets up and they get dressed.
… …
"Hnnn……" Tsuzuki wakes up because of the lack of noise, "Maila?" he looks around but no one is home, "Mou, where is she?"
Tsuzuki picks up his coat from the coat hanger and leaves the apartment.
"…" Tsuzuki walks around the area where Maila until he comes to a stop in front of the Red Dragon.
He keeps hearing lots of voices from the people around him but he doesn't seem to care. He just keeps looking at the place with a nostalgic face. He sighs and begins to walk onward. He quickly stops in front of a certain green eyed youth. He turns his head to face him and the boy stares at him.
"Yo, Hisoka" Tsuzuki says as he lifts his left hand in a 'hi'.
"Do I know you?" Hisoka asks him curiously.
"Not anymore, I think. But you did." Tsuzuki answers him.
"Do you need something? I'm working" Hisoka glares at him.
"I'm going to save you Hisoka. I'll make you remember me. That way, you'll be free and I'll get to eat your food" Tsuzuki smiles and leaves, "Later Hisoka"
"…" Hisoka stares at the leaving Tsuzuki, feeling somehow sad, 'Save me? What does he mean by that?' he thinks thoughtfully.
… …
Tsuzuki walks along the city, calm like a monk. (Sissy: Sorry. Seeing too much Shaman King)
"Tsuzuki!!!!" Tsuzuki looks behind him to see Jack running towards him.
"Hi Ja-" Tsuzuki is welcomed with a fist on the cheek, "What the hell was that for?!" he asks annoyed
"Why isn't Maila with you?" Jack asks real angry.
"She was. But I fell asleep in her couch and when I woke up she wasn't there" Tsuzuki rubs his cheek.
"So that means she really is with Kazutaka" Jack says annoyed and Tsuzuki gasps.
"You're saying Muraki has her?!" Tsuzuki asked
"Yes, at least, I believe so. I felt her calling me. I believe you felt the same thing with Hisoka" Jack answered him
"Well, I think it's about time we paid a little visit to Muraki, don't you think so too?" Tsuzuki asked
"I believe so" Jack said and they both smiled.
"But first you must plan before committing suicide" Tatsumi appeared out of nowhere with Watari
"Ah! Tatsumi!" Tsuzuki said surprised
"Yes Tsuzuki-san, it's nice to see you too" Tatsumi said smiling
"H-how are you doing?" he asked
"Don't worry about him, let's just worry about getting Maila out of Muraki's grasp" Watari said
"But do you even know where she is?" Tsuzuki asked
"1: Where did you see Hisoka?" Watari asked
"At the Red Dragon" Tsuzuki answered
"2: Where did Maila prohibit you to go earlier?"
"Red Dragon"
"3: What's the most logical place she would go to?"
"Red Dragon…Oh"
"And the world is full of great answers" Watari smiles as he heads off, followed by the others
… …
"Are you done yet?" Tsuzuki asks from the other room
"No, just a little bit more and… Ha!" Watari came bursting in from the other room to where Tsuzuki and the others were.
"Now can we get on with the plan?" Tsuzuki asked
"What? It's not that easy to get a high score in that game" Watari pouted
"And? Did ya find the plans?" Jack asked
"Yes, I did. No pushy, people." Watari said handing each a cream folder.
"Care to explain, Watari-san?" Tatsumi asked as they eyes the folders
"Huh?" Watari took a look and gasped, "Silly me! That's for my SquareEnix* fan club!" Watari took the folders from them and handed out the real plans
Everyone read the plans and agreed with what they'll do.
… …
"…" closed eyes open to see a silver haired man.
"Oh, you're awake" Muraki moves from his current exercise to the owner of the eyes, "It's a good thing too. I'm very sure your lover would like to see you again, but not like this." He says, smirking.
"…" she remains quiet.
"I need you to do something for me." Muraki begins saying.
"…"
"I want you to kill them, especially Jack. Can you do that Maila?" he asks as she stands up
"Yes Muraki-sama"
