Congratulations Kanilla! You won! What'd you win? The fact I said you won… o.o' I actually am working on a SoraxRiku, AxelxRiku fic. I also have lots of Kingdom Hearts drawings on my deviantart site, sawatari. so feel free to check them out.

Yes, yes I am, perhaps, taking my little Riku a bit far, but he is just so fun to work with! I am thinking of drawing a picture of Riku and Hisoka together. They just interact so well together that Riku sort of fits in the Yami no Matsuei world. He also seems like he would make a good shinigami.

NOTE (IF YOU DO NOT KNOW RIKU, PLEASE READ): A little clarification for people who don't know, Riku is a character in Kingdom Hearts. In the first game, he is Sora's friend and rival. He gets tainted by the darkness and ends up on the enemy side. His heart gets overtaken by the darkness and the final boss, Ansem, is able to use Riku's power.

In the gameboy game, Riku has noticed the error of his ways and is trying to find Sora. When in the Castle Oblivion, he faces the shadow of Ansem deep in his heart and conquers him. By defeating Ansem, he masters his darkness. He is now able to walk the path of light and dark without being overtaken by the darkness. Instead of choosing one or the other, he is traveling the path of dawn. Basically, he is the master of darkness, which is quite a feat. He could so whoop Sora. :O In the gameboy game, he is able to "smell" darkness, hence the reason he mentions people reeking. XD

I did a little dorky thing at the end of this chapter. XD I doubt it'll be picked up by anyone, but the room number on the apartment is 731, the name of an X-Files episode, and Hisoka shortly after, mentions that it seems like he's in a freaky sci-fi show. I'm a dork. I know.

Yami Yami Omake Jyu!

This is turning into its own little drama. I am thinking I will rename all the omake and make only the trips back to the ministry omake.

"Tsuzuki-san?" The woman looked at Hisoka for a moment and scratched her head. "Hmm… Oh! Yes! About two hours ago I saw him leaving his lecture hall. I remember he was with a gorgeous man that could have been an angel!" The woman nodded in excitement.

"Angel?" Hisoka frowned. "What did he look like?"

"He was dressed all in white… He had pale skin and silver hair and… Well, actually…" The woman looked over at Riku. She motions towards him and nodded. "Yes, the man reminded me of that boy."

"Thank you." Riku bowed and grabbed Hisoka's hand. "From the look on your face, this man in white isn't a good person."

Hisoka nodded. "We have a… past." Hisoka looked down at Riku's hand. He wasn't sure why, but he felt himself blush.

"So that woman saying I remind her of him…" Riku's voice made Hisoka snap out of his daze.

He looked up and shook his head. "Visually, you do look a lot alike, but…" Hisoka paused. Not only did Riku resemble Muraki, but he also gave Hisoka the same dark vibe.

"I'm sorry." Riku stopped walking and dropped Hisoka's hand.

"For?" Hisoka looked to the ground. He was afraid that, if he looked into the boy's eyes, he would be devoured.

"I remind you of somebody who hurt you. More than just visually." Riku smiled sadly. "This person must have a heart coated in darkness so thick, even your powers can see through it."

Hisoka's eyes shot up. "How did you…?"

Riku smiled sweetly and closed his eyes. "I can smell it. You are seeping in darkness, but deep inside there's a light so bright it keeps that darkness in check. The darkness is telling me that you can feel what people are. Unfortunately, you can't feel me, can you?"

Hisoka paused for a moment. He tipped his head to the side and thought before slowly starting to speak. "I can't. Your emotions are a dark void, just like his."

"You know, when I first saw you sitting on the ground in the parking lot, I thought you were a demon. You were in control of yourself, even with so much darkness seeping from you. Upon closer inspection, I realized that you just had immense power. I couldn't believe you were sound of mind." Riku looked up at the full moon. "Don't let your darkness devour you. I'll help make sure it doesn't by finding your light."

"My light?" Hisoka questioned.

"That man in the picture. He's what is keeping you alive." Riku's calm expression changed to that of confusion as the silver moon turned red.

As the area became bathed in red light, Hisoka's eyes shot to the sky. Clouds passed over the blood red moon. "Muraki!" Hisoka hissed. He grabbed Riku's hand and began running towards the campus gate.

"What do you think, Tsuzuki-san?" Muraki smiled. Tsuzuki was sitting on a white couch, his well-built form slightly shaking. "This is my beautiful apartment. A step above where I lived in Tokyo."

Tsuzuki didn't answer. His eyes were locked on the red moon shining through the class doors to the balcony.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Muraki slowly approached the doors. He laid one hand on the cool glass. "The silver moon bathed in blood. Everything looks more beautiful bathed in blood."

"I… don't believe a word you say…" Tsuzuki's voice was shaky, but he tried to steady it.

Muraki closed his eyes and turned around. "It's a shame that it is far too late to do anything about the situation."

"You're full of crap…" Tsuzuki hissed.

"He will be here shortly. I suppose that will prove my point." Muraki walked to the apartment door. "I should leave before he arrives."

Tsuzuki looked at Muraki's back. He slowly got to his feet. "Where are you going?"

"I am a doctor. I have work to do." Muraki smirked and left the room. Tsuzuki heard the door lock behind him.

Although he was obviously free to leave, Tsuzuki stayed by the couch. He turned his gaze once again out the glass doors. He slowly walked across the door and went outside. "He's just messing with my head…" Even though he could say it out loud, inside his heart ached. The possibility that Hisoka's emotions were not his own was too much to bear.

The boys were now fifteen miles off of the college campus. Various people they had spoken with had directed them finally to this location. It was a tall apartment building with a uniformed man guarding the door. Hisoka and Riku stopped across the street from the building and surveyed the area.

"Looks secure." Riku looked over the man. He was tall and well built. Riku's eyes stopped at the man's waist. "There must be some interesting things in there if they arm their security guard. We have to make sure he's in there before trying anything."

Hisoka's eyes moved up the building. A person standing on a corner balcony caught his eye. "Asato!" Hisoka yelled. Balcony was too high for Hisoka's light voice to carry.

"Looks like I got here in time." The voice attracted the gazes of both boys. Muraki slowly walked towards them, his hands in his pockets and coat slightly billowing out.

"Muraki…" Hisoka growled.

Muraki's eyes passed Hisoka and went to Riku. He smiled slightly. "I will not stop you. I am done with him for now." Muraki turned and began walking down the sidewalk.

Hisoka began to go after him, but Riku grabbed the boy's arm. "Don't bother. I know what you mean about that guy. He is like a walking shadow." Hisoka turned back to Riku, his lip quivering. Riku smiled his light, peaceful smile. He moved his hand down to Hisoka's and began walking across the road.

This person… Hisoka thought as he was pulled across the street. He is… someone who has been through more than he should…

"Excuse me, but where do you think you boys are going?" The man at the door glared down at them.

"Upstairs, of course." Riku smirked. Hisoka looked over at the black-clad boy. The smile had a chill go down his spine. "Thank you for your help." Riku shot a hand forward. He stopped it with the palm an inch from the man's nose. He man blinked for a moment, and then slowly opened the door.

"Welcome back, gentlemen." The man voice was bare and mechanic.

Riku bowed and pulled Hisoka inside. The man shut the door behind them. Riku took Hisoka into the nearest elevator. As soon as they stepped in, the doors closed, shutting out the other people attempting to board.

"What did you do?" Hisoka shook Riku off.

Riku scratched his head. "I'm not sure exactly. A new trick I figured out about the darkness." He smiled. "The person you're looking for is on the second to top floor and in room 731A." Hisoka blinked and looked at Riku, a stunned expression on his face. "I got it off that Muraki. Or rather he gave it to me."

"Why is this elevator so slow…?" Hisoka mumbled, attempting to change the subject.

"Well, we could take a shortcut." Riku twisted his mouth in annoyance. "However, it's a bit… different."

"If it's fast, I don't care if it's a rocket ship that comes out of your pants." Hisoka sighed.

"Okay, then." Riku held out a hand. A black hole developed in the middle of elevator. He motioned Hisoka to walk into the hole.

"This is turning into some freaky sci-fi show…" Hisoka mumbled and stepped into the darkness.
