Sissy: Here's the famous epilogue!! Though it's not much (more like a joke), I hope you guys enjoy it. And yes, this officially marks the end of this fic.
Watari: Unless of course, you get a plot bunny and write a sequel.
Sissy: Chances of that are slim.
Tatsumi: We seem to be filling in for the missing crew.
Watari: I heard they got a hangover.
Sissy: Yup! The series ain't mine, but the fic is! I think that's how you say it. Anyway, on with the replies!
kaori-chan-san; thank you.
SapphireDragon-san; here's the epilogue, I hope you like it. If I get a pb I'll do a sequel. In the mean time, it'll end here, sorry! I'll start updating 'For my love' now, though I also started a new Kingdom Heart fic, so… It may take a while… or not… or yes… or not… or so…Sissy: This ended up being a bit longer than I thought, but enjoy it!
Epilogue
When Watari had been told to look for Tsubaki, he had been stopped by Wakaba, who had to tell him some grave news.
"Konoe just had a phone call from Hakushaku-sama." she started, looking sadly at him, "It seems Hisoka-san has been turned into a shinigami." she told him.
"What?! How?!" Watari asked.
"We don't know. We wanted you and Tatsumi-san to interrogate that man." Wakaba said.
"I'll be right there with Seii. Let me just do something first." Watari told her and Wakaba nodded, leaving him.
Watari took a deep breath and went inside the room.
Inside, Tsubaki sat next to Hijiri's bed. Watari approached the two and quickly gave them a briefing on what he was told by Wakaba and that Hisoka was looking for the girl. He also asked them not to say anything and to prepare to say good-bye.
Tsubaki wasted no time to leave. She knew what she had to do. Hijiri was with her as well.
… …
"We'll leave you alone now." Tatsumi told the determined girl and left with Watari.
"Hisoka's a shinigami." Watari told him.
"Yes, Wakaba has informed me already." Tatsumi said to him and they quickly went to Muraki's room to interrogate him.
When they entered the room, they found Konoe talking to Oriya, who looked a bit grim.
"Forgive me Oriya-dono, I seemed to have forgotten about your food when Kurosaki-kun woke up." Tatsumi apologized to the man.
"It's alright. The boy is okay, I assume?" Oriya asked and Tatsumi nodded.
"Well then. Should we get this interrogation started?" Konoe asked and they all nodded.
Tatsumi stood in front of them, facing Muraki's imprisonment. He began controlling the shadows of Muraki's hold to loosen them, so they could speak to him.
"…" they watched as Muraki slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake now, Kazutaka-san?" Konoe asked.
"What do you want?" Muraki spit.
"We'd like to asked you if you killed Kurosaki-kun." Konoe told him and Muraki started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Watari yelled, "We're talking about a person's life here!"
"The boy was my property. I did whatever the hell I wanted with him." Muraki smirked.
"Was? So you admit that he isn't yours anymore?" Watari asked.
"He doesn't belong to anyone now. After all, no one wants a used doll." Muraki simply said, smiling to himself.
"Tatsumi." Konoe ordered and Tatsumi nodded, sealing the shadows and silencing Muraki.
They all left the room and Watari headed out to look for Tsuzuki on Tatsumi's orders.
… …
After Watari quickly explained to Tsuzuki what happened he left him to ponder on what to do.
It was on the hall that Watari met up with Hisoka, who was looking for Tsuzuki. The boy quickly left after Watari told him the man was outside, though he didn't get a chance to tell the boy that he was now a shinigami.
"Now please get back to work." Tatsumi told Watari, who aww-ed.
"Do I have to?" Watari asked.
"Yes, you do." Tatsumi told him.
"Can't we just… you know… play a little?" Watari asked.
"As much as I love you, not now." Tatsumi said and left, slightly blushing.
"That's no fun." Watari told himself.
Watari left to play with his chemicals in his lab instead.
… … …
It's been 3 months since Hisoka became a shinigami. He was partner up with Tsuzuki and lived with him.
"What are you doing Tsuzuki?" Hisoka asked from the sofa, while reading the paper.
"Nothing much." Tsuzuki answered, watering his plants on the window, while trying to hide the fact that he almost pounced Hisoka.
"I don't trust your 'nothing much'." Hisoka told him.
"Well, if you must know…" Tsuzuki left the watering can on the table next to the window and went to sit down next to Hisoka, "We've been together for 3 months, even though we know each other more than that…"
"What's your point Tsuzuki?" Hisoka pretended to hear him.
"You've never told me you love me again." Tsuzuki boldly said making Hisoka leave the paper and turn to look at Tsuzuki.
Hisoka stared at the man, sighed and kissed him, leaving Tsuzuki speechless.
"That's not what I want." Tsuzuki pouted and Hisoka stood up, heading for his room.
Tsuzuki followed him and saw the boy picking up his pjs so he could take a bath.
"Why can't you just say it?" Tsuzuki asked him.
"Why do you want to hear it?" Hisoka asked him as well.
"'Cause you haven't said it again." Tsuzuki told him.
"And I don't plan to." Hisoka said and headed for the door, but Tsuzuki blocked his way out, "What are you doing?"
"I'm not letting you leave this room until you tell me you love me." Tsuzuki told the boy with fixed eyes.
"Fine, I love you. Now can I take a bath?" Hisoka said boredly.
"No." Tsuzuki pouted, "Can't you say it like you mean it?" he asked.
Hisoka sighed and gave Tsuzuki a lovely-dovy look and said, "I love you Tsuzuki."
This made Tsuzuki weak and fell to the floor. Hisoka took the chance and ran to the bathroom.
If there was one thing Hisoka was good at was acting. Meaning he just put on a farce.
"…" By the time Tsuzuki had finally noticed the lie, Hisoka was getting out of the shower.
Tsuzuki ran to the bathroom and opened the door. He froze when he saw Hisoka's pale body.
"Tsuzuki!" Hisoka yelled, taking a towel to cower his masculinity.
"Hisoka…" Tsuzuki was dumbstruck by Hisoka's body to say anything else.
"Tsuzuki! Leave!" Hisoka yelled, blushing furiously.
"Hisoka…" Tsuzuki approached the trembling, blushing boy and slowly embraced him.
"Tsuzuki?" Hisoka was confused.
"Hisoka… I love you…" Tsuzuki said to him.
"…Me too…" Hisoka absorbed the embrace, as he hugged him back.
They stayed like that for a while, neither saying a word. Tsuzuki broke the silence.
"Hisoka?" he called.
"What is it?" Hisoka asked.
"Can we do it?" he simply asked, making Hisoka blush and angry at the same time.
"BAKA!!!!" he yelled, throwing Tsuzuki out the bathroom.
"Hisoka?" Tsuzuki called, not understanding.
"Baka!!! And don't you dare bother me when I'm taking a bath again!" he yelled through the door.
Tsuzuki looked hurt and left for his room.
"Baka…" Hisoka muttered and fell to the floor.
… …
Sometime later, Hisoka arrived in his room (which was originally the guest room) and fell hard on the bed.
"…baka…" Hisoka cried himself asleep.
"Hisoka?" Tsuzuki knocked on the door and slowly entered.
There was silence in the room. Except for the small, almost inaudible sobs. Tsuzuki approached the bed and sat next to the boy he had come to love and respect.
"Hisoka?" he called as he caressed the boy's cheek.
"… … …Tsuzuki?" the boy slowly woke up and sat up.
"I'm sorry Hisoka. Are you mad at me for what I said?" Tsuzuki asked.
Hisoka felt like screaming at the man, but knew better of it.
"Just a little…" was his low reply.
"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings about it." Tsuzuki apologized.
"Baka…" Hisoka bonked Tsuzuki's head and gave him a soft smile.
"I love you Hisoka." Tsuzuki gave the boy a soft kiss on his forehead.
"I know you do." Hisoka told him as the man hugged him.
"I swore to you that I'd never leave you, so even if I hurt you I won't leave you." Tsuzuki said, making the boy blush.
"Thanks." Hisoka said, sleep over taking him.
"Good night Hisoka." Tsuzuki told him as the boy fell asleep.
"Good night Tsuzuki…" Hisoka muttered, "Aishiteru."
"I love you too." Tsuzuki petted the boy.
OWARI…?
"What do you mean you miscalculated?!" Tatsumi yells to Watari.
"Well I did." Watari chuckles.
"Now, now Tatsumi-san. Leave some of that anger for Tsuzuki-san." Wakaba calmed the man down.
"Yeah, what she said." Watari laughed. Blowing up the lab was not what Tatsumi classified as work.
Now I guess it ends…… … …
Sissy: Well, no one seems to be here…
(Tsuzuki and Hisoka enter the room) (anonymous fangirls scream to the sexiness of the pair)
Tsuzuki: Are you planning on doing a second series?
Sissy: Maybe, maybe not.
Hisoka: And why is that?
Sissy: Too many stories to finish and no plot bunny. Does that answer your question?
Tsuzuki: Hisoka, let's see if we can make a plot bunny!!
Hisoka: I'm not a woman and Watari disappeared!!
Sissy: Oh, go on. Everyone has desert me already.
Tsuzuki: Thanks! (drags Hisoka out the room)
Sissy: No second thoughts? I'll just… raid the wine room!! (runs for a glass of wine)
Kody: Isn't she supposed to be under aged?
Aoi: She is.
All: … … …
