Meritite: Oh, thank you for noticing!!! I'm so thankful, and now, I've fixed it!!! yay!!! I thought it sucked… ^_^ SO I was wondering whether I should upload more… But, here it is, as you wished, chapter one of my TDTUA fic. ^_^
Roxane1: Your wish is my command. ^_^ Here's more, more, more!!!
Anna Sartin: Pairings: TsuXHi, YukiXShu. I'm a great fan of both series too. ^o^
Mandernaner: Ah, my favorite reviewer!!! *looks down on her leg* I'm glad you're here. *pats Manda's head* But it would be better if you let go of my leg so I could go to my computer? Thank you. ^_^ Hope you like this. And because you read my other Yami fic, it'll be much easier for you to understand whom the characters are. (HINT! HINT! HINT!) XD And do you like cliffies? This one has a cliffie. Again. ^o^
Glass is half empty: Waaaah! You liked it!!! I thought it sucked!!! Thanks!! ^o^ Thanks for reviewing!
A/N: I'm sorry for not updating so long, I have tests, and it kinda got into my schedule. I had this English timeline project, and I'm in charge of the whole thing, from the design and the research, and I had to do this reflection paper of the book, and had to finish my database for my computer subject and had to study for my tests 'coz I suck at Algebra, and I still have to deal with Math for like, another quarter, and lately, I actually failed in my Biology Contest!!! My group won our class contest for two consecutive quarters and it is so unfair to have taken 3rd place right now. We were cheated on!!! And by a mere one point!!! And… and… I had writer's block, everything's down lately. But, here it is, chappy one. Hope you like it. Enjoy!!!
Sincerely,
Aki Konoe
Chapter One: Go on, hit me with a frying pan…"Hello?"
"Yuki!" Came Shuichi's voice. "Help me!"
+*+*+*+*+*+

+*+*+*+*+*+
Yuki stopped dead in his tracks, and dropped the cylinder on the sidewalk.
"Shit." Maybe what he felt this morning was some kind of a sign. He groaned.
"Yuki!" Came Shuichi's voice again. "Are you there? You have got to help me! They said that the taping would take one more week!" He whined.
Yuki let out a sigh of relief. Thank God. He closed his eyes and smiled. Shuichi's all right. I should've known…
"What do you want me to do about it?" He started to walk again, looking for a bench. When he saw one, he sat down.
"That's it, I don't know! Ne, Yuki, come and pick me up, will you?" Shuichi pleaded.
"But I can't, Shu-chan, I can't. It's only one more week…" Oops. Shouldn't have said that. Yuki thought. But if I picked you up, an outraged Tohma might kill me.
"ONE MORE WEEK?! I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN!"
"It's only one more week, so why don't you just go through it and I'll see what I can do… Okay?"
"…Ok…" Shuichi sniffed.
"Okay, why don't you just do the taping, and when you get back, maybe I could take you out."
Shuichi beamed.
"Really?! You mean, like a date?!"
Sweat drop. "…Yes."
"Ye----sssss!" Shuichi screamed. Yuki had to hold out the phone from his ear as the screaming boy continued to squeal in delight. He had dropped the phone, and Yuki heard him shout with glee and scream and…
Shuichi's screams were so loud that even the passer bys looked at Yuki then at his phone in post-mortem stares. But he just brushed them aside.
Shuichi's shouts were cut abruptly by a loud clank and a loud "BAKA! URUSAI!"
Yuki guessed by the sound of the voice that is was Fujisaki, Tohma's cousin, and Shuichi's band mate. He smiled despite it. Shuichi was still gibbering when he picked the phone but with a cheerful voice, he cooed out.
"Ne, Yuki…"
"Hmm?" Yuki had put the phone back to his ear also, and proceeded to listen to Shuichi.
"Do you really mean it?"
He was serious. No more whines, no hesitations… He wanted to know whether it was Yuki who was really talking to him and not some possessed human being.
"Baka…"
"Tell me Yuki, would you really take me out to a date…?"
"Yes."
"Wai!!! I'll make it really good so that they let me off early!!! I'll do my very best not to take too many shoots!!!"
"Good luck…" Yuki was really changing from Mr. Freeze… to Mr. Not-so-cold-but-still-sporting-a-negative-degrees-celcius-temperature…
"I need to go now!!! Ai-shi-te-ru, Yuki…" Shuichi sang out.
Could Yuki say it? Could he really? He had before, but… He still had a hard time saying it… Oh well.
"I love you too, Shuichi…"
And with that, Shuichi had merrily said good-bye, and they clicked both their phones off. It was fun while it lasted… Now Yuki felt more and more longing… Could it be? Nah…
+*+*+*+*+*+
"Mou Fujisaki-kun… Why'd you have to hit me so hard?" Shuichi whined pathetically from where he sat. Namely, the floor of the trailer, where he was sporting a huge ice packet on the left side of his head.
Fujisaki, his eyes closed, arms crossed in front of his chest, and nose upturned indignantly huffed and said nothing.
"It could've been better you know, if it weren't a frying pan!" Shuichi grumbled some more, shifting the ice packet higher on his head, ignoring the drip-drip-drip of the water spilling out of it.
"You were too noisy. And irritating. And not to mention, making a huge mess."
Shuchi looked up at him from the floor and grinned despite the now cold stare Fujisaki was giving him. Just thinking of the date he would be having with Yuki after his was enough to make him forget that he did have a huge gigantic and gargantuan lump on his head… Throbbing mercilessly and painfully. (Which of course, due to his quick, healing powers. Would disappear in time for the taping… Don't worry people…)
"Ne, Shu-chan, Fujisaki-kun… I bought some---What the hell happened here?" Hiro demanded mildly as he entered the trailer. He looked at one very incensed Fujisaki and one glazed over Shuichi who was still holding the ice packet on a very large lump.

"Ne, Shu-chan, Fujisaki-kun… I bought some---What the hell happened here?" Hiro was not exactly sure what to say at the moment. His best friend had a huge lump on his head, Fujisaki was almost as if he was a statue the way he sat in his chair not moving or talking… Could it get any more worse?!
It was a horrible day, he could tell, because just then, a tuft of smoke emerged from somewhere and…
"Who the hell left bread inside the microwave oven?!" Does he really have to go through this? Does he really have to stand this kind of cooperation between his band mates? Okay, so maybe Shuichi and Fujisaki do not get along very well, but at times they can really be that close… Maybe it was just because Shuichi was a big puppy while Fujisaki was a slightly irritated cat. Or maybe it was just because they weren't really supposed to be together… Or maybe it was his fault really for not doing anything to help them get a long… Or maybe--- maybe---
"Oh… Gomen ne, Hiro… I was the one who did…" Shu-chan beamed at him.
And did Shuichi really think that he could get off that easily?
"Why don't I fix it? I'm sorry… I was busy at the time…"
Sweatdrop. Well, he was right. Hiro sighed in defeat. Shuichi can be a doll at times… and also a huge pain in the neck if he couldn't help it.
"What were you doing exactly that had you putting that ice packet on your head anyway?"
"Fujisaki-kun hit me with a frying pan!!!" Shuichi pointed at said frying pan with quivering fingers and eyes brimming with tears, lower lip trembling with sympathetically faked attempt of looking pitiful.
"Ne, Fujisaki, why'd you have to do that?"
"Yeah!" Shuichi added.
"Zip it." Hiro shot Shuichi a glare.
"He was being noisy, okay? I was trying to work here, and here he comes screaming his lungs out! He's irritating me! And since I know I shouldn't have done it and since you wouldn't let me off unless I say I'm sorry, I would, okay? But if he says sorry first."
Fujisaki looked indignantly at Hiro then at Shuichi.
"Shu-chan…?"
"Hai… hai… Fujisaki-kun, gomen ne… Sorry for bothering you… Anyway, I really don't care about it! So Come on!!! Who's up for a snack?!" Shuichi jumped to his feet, setting the packet aside and pulling on the arms of two very reluctant and very perplexed (bi) shounens… Who just looked at each other then at Shuichi who merely grinned at their inquiring looks
+*+*+*+*+*+
There could be no mistaking it. Today was going to be… better… Of course, why shouldn't it be?
The birds were chirping, the sun shining, and no one could come between her and her coffee… Her grandé choco frapp with extra whipped cream (topped with chocolate chip afterwards when she gets back to the office and glazed with chocolate syrup thanks to Tsuzuki…) was almost in her grasp when something she really gets irritated with happened.
Her cellular phone was ringing. And at that moment she wished she had just left it so that she had a reason to say that she didn't hear it…
Really, didn't they know that calling her in such an ungodly hour and in her case at the moment, a very cherished and well-awaited one meant their death? (Or in this case, a second death.)
Ring…Ring…Ring…
She should ignore it. Really. The shadow master couldn't possibly do anything to her, can he?
Ring...Ring…Ring…
A nagging sound… Oh conscience… And the image of Tatsumi lingering in her head with that stern face and ever so calm features with the shadows rubbing their hands together and laughing in silence wasn't helping at all. But it was coffee, oh sweet coffee… Right in front of her eyes… Oh… But the thought of no early morning (and free) doughnuts was more than enough torture so she gave up and reached in her coat pocket to get the phone.
She was just about to pick it up when the lady wearing the Starbucks uniform called her name from over the head of early morning caffeine addicts… For a wild moment, she thought whether the lady herself was a caffeine addict to get the job… What can she do? Her coffee was stronger than any shadow master… hell with his lecture later. She was a child, for Pete's sake… and a very unstoppable coffee addict…
She took the drink in her hands, and paid the right amount of money for it, ignoring her cellular phone. It was her old cellular phone; she couldn't possibly give it up… Though it held some very ugly memories that only came back to her now she was dead, it had helped her throughout her missions a lot and saved her neck because of it… So she still insisted that she use it. But with it came the early morning calls and the late night check-up, which really got to her nerves… Ah, being a shinigami wasn't just an 8 to 5 job, was it?
Ring…Ring…Ring…
Oh what the hell?! All right! For Pete's sake, all right!!!
"What's up?"
"If you don't hurry up, you're going to be late, you do know that we have a meeting today?" Tatsumi's lucid voice said.
Eyes rolled exasperatedly in their sockets and sighed silently.
"What? Who? Moi?" She cooed innocently.
"Innuendos are unnecessary young lady."
"Maa, maa, Tatsumi-san, you know you can be so mean sometimes… What made you think that? Don't worry, I'm on my way."
"On your way out the door of one particular coffee shop. Namely Starbucks."
"Oh whatever do you mean?"
"I am saying that no matter how you deny it, the sound of the people in the background definitely tells me that you are in Starbucks."
"Oh."
And at that, she heard a man callout "One double espresso!"
She shrugged. "Okay, you win, I'm sorry. I'm on my way there. Really. No more detours… just leave some doughnuts for me, please?"
"Fine. Just get yourself up here. Now."
"Merci!" She said brightly.

There was no denying it… The child has made a huge improvement… When she first came here, she had been almost like Hisoka, being the now youngest shinigami in their division… they had almost sent her on, if it wasn't for her sudden outburst and sudden display of power when they said she'd be a mindless spirit if they she didn't let them send her on… It was a riot at that time…About 5 shinigamis of a different division got injured due to it and even some memory lapses was showered on those poor souls… Until Hisoka and Tsuzuki had been assigned to it…
Sigh.
Tatsumi rubbed at his temples. He waited for the rest of the staff to calm down. The child had just rushed in, ran to the nearest doughnut, the last doughnut, which was almost in Tsuzuki's mouth and she snatched it with a flourished "Please! Doughnut! Merci!" in her chibi neko mode. Tail wagging; she sat down happily sipping her coffee and munching on her doughnut. Wakaba offered some more from her own plate and she gladly accepted. Much to Terazuma's protests…
Amethyst eyes looked at her in retort, but said neko just grinned and munched while shaking a finger in front of his face. Blackmail was clearly seen in her eyes, a dangerous smile curling in her lips. Even Hisoka, who was now a bit red in the face, nudged Tsuzuki to shut up or else, she was willing to do something they surely wouldn't like… And with a piercing stare from her, Tsuzuki understood and surrendered.
The inu chibi Tsuzuki appeared in a loud POOF! And his ears drooped and eyes big and watery, he jumped on Hisoka's lap; and Hisoka, was now turning crimson. But he let the inu stay in his lap anyway.
"Now, could all of you please listen, Tsuzuki-kun, if you would please stop doing that, and listen for a while, it would be better…" And with that, Tsuzuki reluctantly jumped off Hisoka's lap. "Thank you. Now, please, listen, Hisoka-kun, you and Tsuzuki would be going down to Chijou today to… ah… send a soul on… She certainly is stubborn… Just like her…" he gestured towards the neko who was happily munching. Saya and Yuma scratched her ears, and she purred in delight.
"Tatsumi-san! Can't I go?!" He forgot, feline ears can hear almost anything…
"No." he said quite sternly, facing her.
"But---"
"No."
"But---I---I---- awww… Tatsumi-san!" She whined.
"Hisoka-kun, its better that you read that in Chijou, she might do something now… And keep both your shields up... Mental and emotional." He warned.
Hisoka and Tsuzuki exchanged glances. Is it what they thought it was?
The two knew when to follow Tatsumi's orders thoroughly. Thank goodness little chibi neko was busy with the attention given to her by the other fellow shinigamis… Even Terazuma couldn't resist patting her little head.
"It's for her own good." Tatsumi said.
"Hai." And with that, the partners went for the door.
"Wait." A voice said. The both of them turned. Tatsumi stood frozen, in his place.
"What do you think you're doing?"
~To be continued~
A/N: Okay, chapter one finished, chapter two starting… I'm sorry for the title… I just couldn't think of anything else… Suggest some title or give me song titles and movie titles and I'll make a story from that… What about it? And I'm really sorry, I can't really say who she is, but i think Manda knows who she is now… Either of the two, Manda… Its better I don't say because it'll spoil my other Yami story… This is somehow connected with it… Since _____ is with _____ and ____ will be_____ and if ____ doesn't____ it's going to be hard… And complicated… And so_____ will be_____ and… Just wait and see…
But first before I go here are the:
Questions from the insane mind of Aki Konoe:
1.Do you think Shinigamis can die again?
2.Do you want me to reveal right away who 'she' is?
3.Do you guys want lotsa gore and angst?
4.Yuki torture!!! Who's up for Yuki torture?!
Shuichi: Me! Me! He tortures me most of the time, before we---
Aki: NOT THAT KIND OF TORTURE, YOU HENTAI!!!
Shuichi: Aww… Too bad…
Aki: I'll get back at you later for some ideas on the lemon…
Shuichi: Wai!!! Hooray!
5. AS you heard, lemon… Yes, lemon… Now, Manda, you said you'd help me… And of course, it wouldn't hurt for some suggestions in the plot… So… I ask you, the readers, what do you think would happen next?
6.Demons! Who likes demons! Or demi-goddesses/gods running around? (Because I do…)
7.Seventh question… Song insertions… Do you want song insertions?
8.Who can give me lotsa movie and Song titles so that I could write up the following chapters? And of course, add the directors and singers for the disclaimer… Thanks!!!
9.Do you want me to continue, really? And did my prologue suck? And do you likey the cliffies? ^o^
10.Hmm…How about Tsuzuki and Hisoka torture…? Nah… Muraki wouldn't be around that much… But he will make an appearance… How about torture for the unidentified girl? ^o^ I know some of you likes torture… I mean I do hope so…
A/N: Anyway, thank you for reviewing and I really do hope you guys don't kill me… Thanks!!! Ai-Shi-TE-RU, Minna-san!!! ^o^
