The Dog And The Cat

Chapter 15: Good little doggie! Fighto!
"Why don't you just give up?" Oriya asked.
It had been about five minutes since Jack started fighting against Oriya and he wasn't winning. Jack was beaten up pretty badly by Oriya's blade, but he still continued to fight.
"sniff Watari-san! Are you done yet?" Maila was getting restless, since she wanted to go help Jack, but Tatsumi kept stopping her.
"Wait… I'm almost done…" Watari worked on a portable mini 'laptop' trying to see how he could break the barrier.
"Gaaaah!" Jack yelled when his body was slammed to the wall.
"Jack!" Maila yelled.
"Still not done yet? Why not just give up?" Oriya asked.
"Hell no." Jack answered with a scowl.
"Got it!" Watari said with a happy smile as the barrier disappeared.
"Time for my trump card!" Jack stood up and yelled to them, "RUN!!!"
"gasp Let's go!" Maila said and ran from there, along with Watari and Tatsumi.
"Let's finish this." Jack glared at Oriya.
… …
"Heh, heh. Looks like someone got a bit jealous…" Tsuzuki joked, getting up from the ground.
"I don't get jealous Tsuzuki-san." Muraki said, fixing his glasses.
"Really? But it looks like my kiss just made someone wake up." Tsuzuki smirked and Muraki quickly looked at Hisoka, who was on the floor crying.
"Damn you!" Muraki threw a big fireball a Tsuzuki, who jumped away to miss it but hit a wall behind him.
"coughcough Damn it. Too much smoke." Tsuzuki tried to focus with all the smoke covering the hall.
"Tsuzuki!!!" Tsuzuki heard Hisoka's voice amidst all the smoke.
"Hisoka?!" Tsuzuki called, getting up and running towards where he had seen Hisoka last, but alas, he wasn't there.
"Tsuzuki-san?" he heard Maila's voice, through all her coughing.
"I can't find Hisoka!" Tsuzuki yelled.
"Tatsumi-san, there's a window to your left at the end of the hall." Maila said and Tatsumi nodded.
Suddenly, a window was heard break and the smoke started to leave. Unfortunately for Tsuzuki, both Muraki and Hisoka were gone.
"I see a déjà vu pattern here." Watari said in thought.
"No shit." they look towards the window to see Jack there, looking outside.
"Jack!" Maila didn't see it, but she could definitely feel Jack's pain and bruises.
"Hello pet." Jack smiled as he got off the window and petted Maila.
"What happened to Oriya? You used it didn't you?" Maila asked.
"Yup. But that's not the case right now." Jack looked at Tsuzuki, leaving Maila to sob on his wounds, "You might want to hurry up. Muraki is jumping roofs with Hisoka on his shoulder."
"Why didn't you say so before?!" Tsuzuki yelled before running off the window.
"Now that that's out the way, shall we go?" Jack asked Maila.
"Did he say where they were?" Maila asked, drying her tears.
"Yup. Last floor. We can't miss it." Jack joked, holding one of his wounds.
"What are you guys talking about?" Watari asked, extremely confused.
"We're talking about Hisoka's treasures. We believe we've found them. If they haven't been moved somewhere else or dead." Jack said as he approached the elevator, followed by Maila.
"I'll go with you while Tatsumi can go give a hand to Tsuzuki." Watari said and Jack nodded, "That alright with you Tatsumi?"
"Fine. Don't go do anything rash alright?" Tatsumi told all of them, even though he looked at Watari.
"Don't worry." Watari gave Tatsumi a kiss on the cheek before going with Jack and Maila to the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Tatsumi set off to find Tsuzuki.
… …
"Muraki get back here!" Tsuzuki yelled, catching up to Muraki.
"I'm afraid I'll have to reject, Tsuzuki-san." Muraki smirked.
"Tsuzuki!" Hisoka yelled, trying to get free from Muraki's grasp.
"Hisoka!!!" Tsuzuki yelled.
"Mind shutting up doll? I'm trying to run away from the bad shinigami" Muraki smiled.
"Does it look like I care?! Let go of me!!" Hisoka yelled, hitting Muraki on the head.
"Doll, when we escape from the bad shinigami, you'll pay for that." Muraki glared at Hisoka.
"God, I'm tired." Hisoka slumped and turned into a cat.
"Oh, it's much easier to hold you now." Muraki gave Hisoka an evil smiled.
Sadly for him, Hisoka had plans of his own and bit Muraki when he held him with his hands, making Muraki drop Hisoka while screaming in pain.
"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki said as Hisoka ran and jumped onto Tsuzuki's arms, "Are you alright?" he scratched under his chin and Hisoka transformed back into a human.
"…" Hisoka didn't dare to look at Tsuzuki, even though he was still wrapped around Tsuzuki's arms and against his chest, hearing his heart beat very clearly.
"What's wrong?" Tsuzuki asked, giving Hisoka his kindest smile.
"I lied to you. And used you. Don't you hate me for that?" Hisoka asked.
"But I forgive you." Tsuzuki petted Hisoka, then glared at Muraki as Tatsumi caught up with them.
"I see you have Kurosaki-san back." Tatsumi stated.
"Hello there." Hisoka waved at Tatsumi a little, who waved back with a smile.
"Give me my doll back!" Muraki yelled.
"Sorry, can't do that. 'Cause if you hadn't noticed, he walked away from you." Tsuzuki put on his guard.
"Die!" Muraki threw an energy ball at them and they managed to escape it before, it hit the ground and exploded.
"Tsuzuki-san, give me Kurosaki-san. He'll be a bother if you want to fight Kazutaka-san." Tatsumi told Tsuzuki, who nodded and gave Hisoka to Tatsumi, "Best if we go this way." Tatsumi landed on a roof and Hisoka let go of him, going to the edge to see Tsuzuki flying off to fight Muraki.
"…" Hisoka remained quiet, as Tsuzuki and Muraki had a sword fight.
"Kurosaki-san, I have a favor to ask of you." Tatsumi called Hisoka, who didn't stop looking at the fight.
"What is it?" Hisoka asked, still not taking his eyes off Tsuzuki.
"…" Tatsumi spoke so silently that Hisoka almost choked when, only he, understood what Tatsumi had just asked of him.
… …
Watari, Jack and Maila arrived to the top floor of the building and started looking around. It didn't help that, even with the lights on, they hadn't a shitty clue of what to look for.
"Maila, you sure they're here?" Jack asked for the ninth time.
"I'm very sure. It's just… their energy is so… low. Plus the fact that they have no idea where they are." Maila answered, obviously not bothered by Jack's impatience.
"I think I found something!" Watari said, motioning them to come towards him.
"A… rock…?" Jack asked, extremely confused at the small rock on the floor.
"There's a barrier surrounding this rock." Maila pointed out.
"Good girl Maila. You guessed right." Watari petted her as he took the rock in his hands.
"So, what are we supposed to do?" Jack asked.
"Easy. We break the barrier and see what happens." Watari said, grinning like a small child.
"Beautiful. Any idea how to break it?" Jack asked, sarcastically
"It seems like a very complex barrier." Maila thought out loud.
"It is. But, it'll be a piece of cake." Watari put the rock on the nearby desk and stepped away from it.
"What are you planning on-? No, you idiot!" Jack was startled when Watari took out a hammer from out of nowhere and hit the rock with it, making lots of smoke.
"Bwahahahahaha!!!" Watari just laughed as Maila and Jack practically coughed to death.
"Is it gone?" Jack asked Maila, between coughs.
"Yes… I believe so…" Maila managed to say.
"Oops." Watari said as the smoke began to clear.
"What do ya mean 'oops'?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow, "Oh."
They all stared at the remains of the rock and the desk on the floor.
"Now what?" Jack asked, crossing his arms.
"I believe we help them." Maila pointed to the other side of the room, where they saw two unconscious people.
"Oh, good. They're free." Jack went over to see them, followed by Watari and Maila.
"Let's see now…" Watari began examining the brunette boy and the blue haired girl.
"Ow, that hurts!" the boy yelled when Watari touched one of his wounds, "Who the hell are you?"
"Funny you should mention hell…" Watari laughed and continue to examine him.
"Huh? Wait, am I dead?" he asked, confused, arguing very little about Watari examining him.
"Huh?" Watari looked at him, "No, no! It's just…" Watari scratched his cheek.
"Just what?" he asked, glaring at the older unknown man. He knew they weren't with the people that tortured them.
'Their glaring is the same…' Jack thought, watching the boy with the face as identical as Hisoka's.
"Well… I'm a shinigami, he's a vampire and she's a blind empath my identical-faced Hisoka friend." Watari winked jokingly at the boy.
"Hisoka?! You know Hisoka?! Where is he?" the boy tried to get up, but failed miserably.
"…" Watari looked at Jack, nervously.
"We don't know right now kid." Jack said bluntly and looked out the window, "The situation over there changes constantly. I wouldn't be surprised if someone's dead."
"…" the boy remained quiet.
"Be a little bit more nicer Jack." Watari pouted, and went on examining the girl.
"Sorry, but I-" Jack was cut short as sword went through his back.
"!!!" Watari looked back, suddenly taken by surprise.
"Mai…la…?" Jack watched in horror as Maila took out the sword she stabbed him with, "W…why…?"
"I won't let you interfere with Muraki-sama's plans." she said, her eyes lacking any life in them.

Amy: Btw, the part when Muraki's escaping with Hisoka? We have no idea what went on in Sissy's head that made us hate how that went.
Aoi: I think it gave the story and interesting twist.
Kody: It's extending it!!!!
Ryu: Don't be so harsh on her.
Amy: ahem Since there were no reviews last time, or Sissy deleted them from her mail, there are no replies. How sad. And here I thought everyone would be interested in that special.
Ryu: Whatever. I'm going to sleep.
Aoi: Please review!!!
