IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Due to Hisoka's explanation, they were late once again to work. Tsuzuki and Hisoka rushed into the room, sprinting as though they were nearing the finish line of a marathon. And perhaps it was.

Tatsumi almost seemed surprised that Hioka was late. Tsuzuki was late nearly everyday, causing no up stir, but Hisoka had made it a point to show up early everyday.

clucking in slight disgust, he re-tallied up the pair's lateness chart.

Tsuzuki Asato: 100 penalties

Kurosaki Hisoka: 1 penalty

"That's your one hundreth penalty, Tsuzuki," Tatsumi warned.

The Shinigami stopped dead in his tracks. He stared at the secretary in horror, his eyes brinmming with fear.

Tatsumi didn't seem to notice it though. He smiled, his eyes emotionless. "And you know what that means, Tsuzuki."

Tsuzuki gulped. Another dock in pay...

"But Tatsumiiii," he whined, his eyes growing as big as baseballs. "Can't we discuss this?"

Tatsumi shook his head and smiled wickedly, "Too late, Tsuzuki."

"But Tatsumiiiiiiiii," he tried again, extending Tatsumi's name in his whine. Tears filled the shinigami's eyes and he stared helplessly at Tatsumi.

Tatsumi sighed, "All right then. Come into my office."

Hisoka sighed as he watched the men head off towards Tatsumi's office. 'Idiot...'

Finally, three hours later, a disgruntled Tatsumi stepped out of his office, hands clasped onto his forehead as if he had a headache.

Behind him, Tsuzuki nearly pranced out of the room, grin on his face.

Hisoka didn't need to ask who had won.

"C'mon, Hisoka! Lets go party!" Tsuzuki grinned, eyes fixed on Hisoka.

Hisoka could have hit him.

"Tsuzuki," he snapped, "Aren't we supposed to go to Gensoukai today?"

Tsuzuki stared at him for a few moments. Hisoka's words were not clicking in his head.

"huh?"

"Gensoukai!" Hisoka roared, nearly giving himself a headache. "We were supposed to searchi for a shikigami!"

All at one, Tsuzuki caught on.

"OOh," he replied, not catching Hisoka's glare. "That's right. Well, then. What are we waiting for? Let's go! We'll have so much fun and...."

Hisoka nodded numbly, though he no longer heard Tsuzuki's words.

Thoughts of Riko flickered through his head. The disappearance had been more than Hisoka could take, but he wasn't going to give up. That was why he had asked to go once again to Gensoukai. Even though it hurt, he had to make sure Riko was all right. He had to find him once again..

'I'll find you, Riko. No matter what.'

Sakura Blossom-Cilla-85:P: I hope you liked that...That was actually not intentionally part of the story....but I got stressed out one day and just wrote that out. Anyway, I didn't know what to do next, so I just kinda stuck that in. If that's a bad thing or a good thing, I haven't figured out yet. lol.
