A Human's Question

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yami no Matsuei

Information: Ne hey, Ano umm, Gomen sorry

"Ne, Hisoka, am I human?"

I glance over at my slightly tipsy partner. His cheeks are flushed from the excess alcohol that he has downed and his eyes that were glazed over a minute ago are suddenly bright and clear as they stare into mine.

"Of course, why would you ask such a thing?" I don't really know what to say. Should I just blow it off or…. Something else. I'm completely at a loss for words, I've never tried to comfort anyone before. This is a new and startling experience.

"Well, Muraki said…"

"MURAKI!" Pain and fear shoot through my veins like liquid fire. What'd that perv do this time? I swear if he touched Tsuzuki I'll… wait.. Why am I getting angry? It's not like I care for the big klutz. Right?…. Right?

"Ano… Hisoka, what's wrong?…. I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought him up.. Gomen….

Forget it, I never said anything." He turns away from me and lays his head dejectedly on the cold wooden bar top.

My hand instinctively reaches out, but I hesitate mere centimeters from his shoulder. Taking a deep breath and a big leap of faith I grasp his shoulder and turn him back to face me. His violet eyes widen and he sits up straight in shock.

"Hisoka?" His brows nit in confusion and a blush rises to my cheeks as he continues to stare at me with that soul-searching gaze.

Throwing caution to the winds I lean forward and connect our lips in pure abandon. I can feel, taste, his gasp of surprise, but before long he's answering me back with barely constrained passion.

Pulling away with great reluctance I rest my head in the crook of his neck and shoulder. Breathing deeply I finally manage to say, "Tsuzuki, you are the most humane person I have EVER met. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise."

I can feel his muscles move as he grins and pulls me into his warm embrace. I don't like people who touch me, but… Tsuzuki isn't just people he's… he's human. The ONLY one I've ever met, and the only one I'll ever love.

A/N: Hope you liked it, though it didn't come out anywhere NEAR as deep and meaningful as I wanted it to.

Muraki: YOU.. Write something meaningful? HA, that'll be the day!

Tsuzuki: Muraki, that's mean, but I kinda have a complaint too. Can I?

DatenshiBlue39: Umm.. Yeah whatever you want my darling Tsuzuki, all comments are always appreciated.

Tsuzuki: Well… how come you didn't go into more detail with me and Hisoka?

DatenshiBlue39: What d'ya mean?….. Ooooh I get it. You wanted me to make Hisoka do things with you that he wouldn't usually do otherwise, am I right?

Tsuzuki: (blush) mm.. Yeah

DatenshiBlue39: How bout maybe next time?

Tsuzuki: (big puppy eyes) YOU PROMISE!

DatenshiBlue39: No. But stranger things have happened.

Hisoka: Come on, Tsuzuki, we don't need her. I'm willing to do just about anything with you, I'm no virgin, you know! (indignantly)

Tsuzuki: SCORE!

Muraki: WAIT! I OBJECT!

DatenshiBlue39: Shut up, Muraki, you have no say in this! Let's just watch, ok?

Muraki: fine. (pout) This almost as fun as actually being in the action.

DatenshiBlue39: ………… that's just gross.
