That's when an angel falls from the sky...

Disclaimer: YnM is not mine....Too bad.... =P
Spoilers: May contain Hisoka's torture. This part picked from the Kyoto Chapter. Plus this part is mostly focused on Tsuzuki and Hisoka. (Hisoka: Can't you think a better story to 'unite' us? This one is stupid...) (Tsuzuki: Hisoka-chan, you are asking Rei-chan to write a better story to 'UNITE' us? Hey, you do love me!!::hugs::) (Hisoka: BAKA!!!::hits::)

Warnings: Up to here, I think the rating will change to PG-13 for language, hints of that 'fateful' night.

Again, credits will be given to Edge-san for beta-ing my fic. =D Thanks for my supporters too! Especially Liza!! ::huggies:: Oh well, I won't make Hisoka as a girl so long too... XP As I don't really think he looks like one...This is just an idea suddenly crossed my mind...Thanks for my reviewers too! =D

Part 3-An angel

After a little dance the duo had, Hisoka seemed to have lost in thoughts. He had even forgotten to ask for Watari's potion! Of course, you could probably forget about it when all the people around you were fussing and their thoughts entered your head like crazy. They lined up one after another to give a present to the cute boy.

"Hisoka darling ! ::heart x 2::" Yuma gave a kiss on the green-eyed boy's cheek. He was stunned and looked shy. Yuma handed him a huge gift, tied with a birthday card, which she drew a chibi Hisoka on it. =D Hisoka did not know what it was.

Next was Saya's turn. She pushed her present to Hisoka into his small hands. It was soft and Hisoka could almost guess it was another dress for him. "Remember to wear it! Hisoka-kun! ::heart::"

"Hisoka-chan," oh no...not even Wakaba called him that. Hisoka sank into his seat more, feeling his face hotter. "This is from me and Hajime-chan," she smiled and gave a slightly decorated present on his laps. Hisoka knew at once what it was. It must be a set of books, which he would spend hours and hours reading gladly. Terazuma just looked at the other way and he was knocked by Wakaba. He just wished Hisoka a 'happy birthday' and tended to walk away.

Konoe's gift was a day off tomorrow. On the other hand, Tatsumi's present was a nice and granted wall clock. Watari was here when they gave him presents, and he handed a box with inside was one of his latest invention. Hey, didn't Watari earn him a gift earlier? The sex-changing potion was a nice gift! XP (Hisoka: Say that again if you dare!) He gave Hisoka his best smile before he noticed Hisoka was pleading him with the potion! Watari vanished before he could ask him again... The Gushoshin brothers gave him a bag with something he could not guess. All Hisoka did was saying 'thank you' and a bow. He had not received so many presents at once.

"Tsuzuki-san! Where is yours?" they asked the puppy Tsuzuki-who was still filling his stomach with sweets. The next moment, he chocked as he tried to stuff too many things into his mouth and found Hisoka trying to smooth his back. "Sankyuu, Hisoka...."

"Baka! Eat probably will you? How old are you, O-JI-SAN?" Hisoka scolded afterwards. Hisoka did not wait for Tsuzuki's present and pointed at the drunken Konoe and a clock in his office. "It's late now.... I'm going back...."

Tatsumi asked the others to clean up the mess tomorrow or else....And he was turning into oni version again.... Hisoka was feeling tired and had used all his energy yelling for entire day. He definitely needed a good sleep. And actually, he was feeling not well from the beginning. Just that he hated to look weak in front of all his co-workers, especially Tsuzuki. With both his small hands, he took the presents and teleported back to his own apartment. It was small yet neat and tidy.

He dropped the presents on his couch and threw himself on his bed. It was only a minute before he was dozing off.

'My beautiful doll.....'

Muraki......

'Such a murder won't suit a beauty like you.....'

Go away......

'Instead of killing you, I'd rather watch you die in pain...You are my marked prey....'

MURAKI!!!

And he woke up. It was the second time on today did he dreamt about his rapist, and killer. He swallowed hard and he found himself hugging something tightly. He quickly took a detailed look what he was hugging and to his surprise, it was Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki blushed a little and he walked back to let Hisoka relaxed. 'How the hell did he enter into my house?'

"Daijoubu, Hisoka-chan?" Tsuzuki asked with his concerned purple eyes on the boy. "!!!" it was only the first time ever Tsuzuki watched the curse carved on Hisoka's body at this close distance. The boy pulled his blanket for a quick cover, from his legs to his neck. Every time he had this dreadful dream, the painful red curse would be displayed. The damned marks on his small body-the body of a sixteen years old boy.

"Ba-Baka! How can you entered someone's room and house without permission!" Hisoka tried to act angry to change the topic. Tsuzuki gasped as Hisoka was scolding him 'baka' over and over again. Hisoka's voice changed back to his own too! Hey, the potion's effect had worn off! Hisoka was so glad, glad that he had covered his body with his blanket and glad that he had become normal. He would not dare to imagine how Tsuzuki would laugh if he accidentally saw Hisoka (boy body) in a girl's gown!

"Will you please go out and stop staring?" Hisoka said in a huff. His voice's force was hard enough to send Tsuzuki out of the room and he locked the room. He had to change his clothes back immediately. He wore a long sleeved shirt and a pair of trousers. Then Tsuzuki came running to Hisoka's room when he heard a small 'clik' at his doorknob.

"Hisoka-chan is back to normal!! ::heart::" he hugged Hisoka in his puppy form. 'Although a feminine Hisoka is more cuter......' If Watari found out his sex changing potion was not a complete or perfect one, he would be really sad...

Hisoka let out a sigh. Then he felt a gust of concern plus anger rose within his older partner. It was so much that Hisoka had to push him away a little. "Tsuzuki..."

"....ah...Gomen....," Tsuzuki knew his strong feelings could hurt the empath. "Don't worry, the hentai won't hurt you anymore...And those scars...marks...will be washed away soon," he slowly touched Hisoka's arms, as if he could see through the fabric.

"I'm fine....," Hisoka decided not to show weak. "The next time that bastard appears, I'll call upon Kurikara to protect myself as well as KILL him," he clenched his fists.

"....Don't think about him today. You are supposed to enjoy. By the way, this...this is what I wanna give you." He grinned and handed the bag he was holding earlier. "Don't worry, it's not my underwear...," he added with a grin.

Hisoka frowned when he heard that but did say 'Aa....thanks.' Well, he did come from a very well-trained in both discipline (although he sometimes bad-mannered and do something reckless) and martial arts. He was curious what was inside the bag and since Tsuzuki encouraged him to open it, he did anyway.

What laid in front of him was a necklace. A silver necklace in the middle with an angel pendant. Hisoka grew red and asked what the hell Tsuzuki thought to give him that. Before he could reply, Hisoka told him his childhood.

"I have never received any gifts since they had known my empathy, not even a card. I thought I won't miss it, but now only I know I did. To them, my birthday means the birth of a demon....a cursed child. And how I wished to die in that three years, nothing but pain, loneliness, loveless and still, I never realized I would be cursed to death....," Hisoka's voice trembled.

Tsuzuki tried to stop him but he seemed to continue, as if he was talking to himself, ignoring anyone. It was the first time Tsuzuki saw Hisoka like this, and he was afraid. "Hisoka?"

"Because of my empathy... I've lost love...and betrayed, trampled, cursed..."

"Hisoka, yamero!" Hisoka was hugged by the worried Tsuzuki. "Don't say that! Stop...."

".....Tsu...zu...ki...." Before he realized, Tsuzuki helped him to wear the silver necklace.

"No one will say you're a demon child...Because, your birthday means....," Tsuzuki stared at the boy's beautiful emerald eyes. The watery and sad eyes almost made Tsuzuki stopped talking. "That's when an angel falls from the sky...by my side....."

"Tsuzuki......" Hisoka was startled. Never did he think someone would say those words to him. But it seemed like what he wished for his birthday was coming true. He wished for someone he truly cared to say he would love him forever, as a son, as a brother, as partner, as a family, as a friend, and as what they saw he was.

"Like this necklace, an angel attaches to it by arms. When I first saw this, I thought of you. That's why I wanted to give you this....," Tsuzuki finally gave him his real, genuine smile that came within his heart. "To me, you are nothing more but an angel...."

"Tsuzuki...," was the only word he managed to say over and over. Tsuzuki leaned in and kissed his forehead.

"I'll stay by your side...as I won't let you fly away...Hisoka-chan, I'm really happy for your birthday, it brings you to me..." Tsuzuki caressed his face slowly, very slowly. "I don't mind if you are a monster, vampire, girl, boy, anything, because you stay as who you are within here," he put Hisoka's hand on his chest.

"......," Hisoka did not know what to say anymore. He simply put his free hand on his mouth and soft tears dropped.

"I would never hurt you, betray you, trample on you, laugh at you....I just want you to know what love is and what is trustworthiness," Tsuzuki pulled Hisoka closer and hugged him tightly. "You've saved me once and once again. Not giving up on me... Not turning your back at me....You are MY angel."

"Tsuzuki....arigato.....and gomene...," Hisoka said finally, among his sobs.

"Shh....don't apologized. You never did any wrong.... Just promise me that you'll never fly away....," Tsuzuki whispered the slightest. And he could felt the boy nodded slowly.

Hisoka turned and stared into those beautiful amethyst eyes and smiled. A very sweet plus cute smile! One that nobody would ever guess he would give! Well, once Tsuzuki said Hisoka would look like Hijiri if he smiled. But it was not just that. It was more than that. Now only Tsuzuki realized there is a difference between Hisoka's smile and Hijiri's.

"You smiled....?"Tsuzuki asked, rather stupidly for he already knew the answer. "Kirei...You should do that often...They would love to see that pretty face."

"......They had seen the girlie face of mine earlier, isn't that enough?" Hisoka murmured. Somehow the tears began to dry away.

"Not as pretty as you are smiling....Happy birthday, Hisoka-chan....," Tsuzuki tried to stop Hisoka from talking further. They were in such a comfortable and nice position that Tsuzuki wished time would stop forever. Today was such a long and yet unforgettable day... Hisoka's birthday......

'Yes....that's when an angel falls from the sky by my side.......'

::::The end::::

Author's note: Whew....Finally. It may be a little not smooth and it is out a bit of the storyline I'm supposed to write, but I hope it comes out fine. And maybe the characters are OOC too. So sorry for that. The original idea was to write a one-shot story but look how it went! Oh...I'm such a failure. I'm trying my best to write based on their attitudes and behaviors. Anyway, thanks for reading this fanfic till the end and any mistake corrections, please feel to point it out! R and R is much appreciated! =D
