Chapter 3 - The Cry for help
Same warnings and disclaimer in the first chapter :D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tohma was sat in his office, looking through his paper work. It had been 3 days since Eiri had literally fallen of the face of heaven. No signal, angel or monster, and this worried Tohma. Had Eiri failed? Well no, since the signal of the monster disappeared. He did noticed another trace of an angel, and looked up to the records and found out it was the same match as Shuichi Shindou. Tohma chuckled at the irony of the two partners finding each other like that, they weren't supposed to meet for another week.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come" Tohma beckoned
The door opened to a very woried Hikaru.
"Here's the information you desired Mr Seguchi, and i was wondering, any news on Yuki?" She asked
"None Hikaru," He said, placing his head in his hands "Its like he's dead, well of course he's dead but its like hes gone, and i cant explain why"
"Can we not trace him?" She asked
"No! Something is blocking our signal and everytime we try we get a muggled up one"
Hikaru thought he needed time alone "I'll see if i can dig anything up" She said as she exited the room. The sound of the door shuting was all that Tohma needed to know that he was alone.
Gathering his thoughts together, he proceeded looking through the information Hikaru just handed him. The door then opended and shut, and without looking up Tohma responded "Found the information already Hikaru"
When he got no responce he looked up, and met the eyes of a very distraught Eiri.
"Tohma, you need to help me!" He pleaded falling to his knees
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shuichi sat on the couch, trying to think what had happened. Blurs came to him, it made no sense...unless.
'Unless Yuki is already turning, Oh my god, he could have killed me!' He thought, shivering 'But he didnt, he pushed me away, but why would he do that? He might not have turned fully, that means there is a chance. I have to find the witch doctor, and i know just the person to see'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eiri! Oh my god, are you alright" Tohma asked, rushing towards the frail form that was Eiri
"Shut the blind Tohma!" Eiri commanded
Tohma wasnt one to argue with Eiri and quickly did as he was told. After, he helped Eiri onto a chair.
"Tell me what happened!" Tohma demanded
Eiri tilted his neck slighty and showed Tohma the now small scars on his neck. Tohma gasped and traced his finger over them to see if there were really there, and to his disapointment, there were.
"Who did this?" He asked, his expression was emotionless
"One of those bastards from the Aizawa clan" He struggled, trying to take deep breaths "They came to me last night, and told me that i was turning into one of them, and i nearly fed off an angel Tohma! What am i going to do?"
Tohma took in every piece of information that Eiri told him, thinking the whole situation over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DING DONG
Shuichi stood outside the house 'Bloody 'ell it freezing' He then heard voices coming from other side of the door.
"Na No Da" A voice said as the door opened, "Oh Shuichi, its you!"
"Hello, Ryuic..." He was cut off by a big glomp
"Shuichi! Come inside, would you like a drink, anything to eat?" Ryuichi asked, stilling glomping him, as Shuichi tried walking inside the house, but having no luck since Ryuichi was stopping him from moving, and breathing
"Ryuichi, leave the poor kid alone" Another voice said when they reached the living room
"Tatsuha, im just saying hello, if you want, i could say hello, the way i say it to you" Ryuichi grinned sexily
Tatsuha just coughed, a blush coming to his face "Erm, i dont think that woulod be wise Ryuichi"
"Meanie!" Ryuichi pouted, sitting next to Tatsuha, "So what's wrong Shuichi"
"I'm sorry for calling round like this, if i had another choice i would, but you see, things have gotten out of hand" Shuichi began
"I see you've met my brother then" Tatsuha said rolling his eyes
"What? Yuki is your brother" Shuichi asked puzzled, then he took a good hard look at Tatusha, he looked exaclty like Yuki, only with darker hair and looked younger.
"Whats my brother done now?" Tatsuha asked
"He's been turned" Shuichi simply said
"WHAT!" Tatsuha proclaimed standing up, "Who did it, i'll kill them!"
"Tatusha please dont talk like that" Ryuichi said, sniffing, tears coming to his eyes "Kuma-chan doesnt like it when you talk like that" (( AN: AWWWWWWW - i can just picture that ))
Tatsuha felt his anger disappear as he looked at Ryuichi "I'm sorry love" He put his arm around Ryuichi and pulled him into an embrace. Kissing him on the forehead, Ryuichi smiled.
Shuichi cleared his throat, making his presence known
"Oh im sorry, Shuichi" Tatusha said sitting back down, and beckoning Shuichi to do the same
"Start from the beginning"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and i nearly fed off him Tohma, an angel, i nearly killed one of my own kind" Eiri said, his head in his hand "I dont know what to do"
"Well we need to get you out of here" Tohma replied standing up "Its not safe, once God gets a word of this, you know what happens"
Eiri nodded. He didnt want to get banished, and for the first time since he came here, he was scared. Scared of himself, scared for the safety of his friends and scared from the demons. He laughed inside, kinda ironic being turned into the thing you grew up fighting. He looked over to Tohma, and saw he was getting his things ready. His neck looked so appealing, if only he could just take a bite...
"Tohma, i need help! Its too much, its taking over, its...its...I..." Eiri was having a breakdown and this shocked Tohma, never had he seen his friend look so helpless
Tohma knelt in front of him
"Look at me!" He said, placing his hands on Eiris cheeks, "We are gonna make you fine again, everything is gonna be ok, we have to take you back down to earth and leave you with your new partner, he seems to know what he is doing. I will look around and see what i can find. But you must promise me you will stay calm, and do not, i repeat, DO NOT give up."
Eiri nodded and was transported back down to earth by Tohma. He looked around and realised he was in Shuichi's apartment
"Shuichi" He called out, but only the sound of cars driving past reached his ears.
All this comotion has set him off balance, he need a rest, more sleep means that he could think properly. He led on the couch and let sleep overtake him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and he slammed the door on me. So i thought i'd come and ask for your help" Shuichi finished
Tatsuha had a look of anger on him, he hadnt felt this angry since he died. He followed his brother to heaven, he showed him around, took him under his wing. As well as that, he watched his brother change, change into a cold heartless person. He did not know the cause for this but he thought he was getting better, and now this.
Ryuichi put his hand in Tatsuha's. His head resting on his shoulders.
"Theres only one man who can help you" Tatsuha responded
"The witch doctor?" Shuichi asked
Tatsuha nodded,"Not many people know his identity or where he lives, but ive crossed paths with him once before, he is not one to be messed with, he doesnt give things for free, he wants things in return. He works for both sides, good and evil"
Shuichi sat there, taking all this information in "Who is the witch doctor?"
Tatsuha looked him straight in the eye and replyed "He goes by the name of Tohma Seguchi"
