IRRESISTIBLE TEMPTATIONS

All day Tsuzuki had been thinking of them, fantasizing about them. Their soft warmth, their ooey-gooeyness. Chocolate smiles that stretched invitingly between two broken halves... ah, it was enough to make anyone's mouth water, not just a dessert freak out of control and going through what could very well be the worst cravings of his life.

Alas, when he arrived in his cubicle, the paper baggie was empty, his mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies...gone. Every single one of them and with only a few scattered crumbs to give proof that they had even existed at all.

Irate in a way he never would have thought possible, Tsuzuki summoned forth his fellow Shinigami and potential suspects - Tatsumi. Watari. Hisoka. Not your average candidates for cookie theft, but he wasn't willing to let any stones go unturned, or something along those lines. For a moment he thought that perhaps the Chief could have gotten into his personal stash, but he wasn't willing to make THAT confrontation. He was already in Dutch for being so behind on his paper work.

"I know one of you three did it!" Tsuzuki cried dramatically, slamming his hands down on the desk. "And I want to know which of you stole my cookies!"

The three Shinigami glanced at each other and was that... guilt... he saw in their eyes? They couldn't all be guilty, could they? Or was he just being paranoid?

Tatsumi pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a habitual gesture, but now one laced with guilt, at least as far as Tsuzuki was concerned.

"It was not I." He announced coolly.

"Me either." Watari pitched in, looking mildly affronted to be accused in such an uncouth manner.

That could only leave... Tsuzuki stalked up to Hisoka and to his surprise, the youth adverted his usually cool green-glass gaze. And there, there in the corner of his mouth... could it be... cookie crumbs?

Tsuzuki was stunned. Of all the culprits in mind, he never once really suspected the aloof Hisoka. He was just called in on general principle.

"Hisoka... Why... How could you do this to me?"

Hisoka turned to meet his hurt gaze, smiled apologetically, shrugged, and simply replied. "I was hungry."

THE END

I do so enjoy these ten minute challenges because it's amazing what you can come up with in such short time.
