Paw Prints and Feathers

Chapter two: Ok, that does it!

"What on earth was that?" asked Hisoka as he got up from his seat. The pained cry had startled him and almost made him topple of his chair.

Watari scratched his head. "Somehow I know that cry from before…" he said and looked forwards the door.

Tsuzuki growled as he entered the room. "Where is he! I'm going to pluck him!" he snapped and looked around.

Tatsumi felt his glasses slid down his nose as he looked up… no… down at the amethyst eyed shinigami. "I guess Muraki succeeded…"

Hisoka walked up to his partner and picked him up. He sighed as he ran his hand through the cream coloured fur. "Shut up, baka. We can't understand you" he muttered.

Tsuzuki didn't seem to notice Hisoka or hear the boy at all. His amethyst eyes were locked on the small white being in Tatsumi's hand. "YOU…"

'Poko' turned his head and looked at the pup. "Why hello, Tsuzuki-san" he said and wiggled some more in Tatsumi's grip. "I see you fell for my sweet trap"

Tsuzuki growled and gout out from his partner's grip and landed on the table. "I should bite you so hard for doing this to me! I can't believe you sank this low, Muraki! I mean, I cared for you, I looked after you…"

"You showered in the same room as I and let me be in your bed at night" Muraki finished of for him.

The pup blushed. That thought hadn't hit him until now. He had been… in front of Muraki…. Dear god…. "Ok, that does it! You are going down!" Tsuzuki snapped after shaking his head to clear it. Growling he pounced at the small budgie.

Hisoka sighed and left for the kitchen. He had to dispose of the cake before anyone else ate of it. "I'll be right back after they have stopped fighting"

Tatsumi saw the small pup come at him. He let go of the budgie and quickly withdrew his hand. If the two of them wanted to fight he didn't want to get involved. Besides, what harm could possible the two of them do?

Muraki easily flew away from the advancing pup. Flapping his white wings he landed on the back of the chair Tsuzuki had been in earlier. "Where is your manners, Tsuzuki-san? Attacking a small bird that is so unlike you" he said and ruffled his feathers.

Tsuzuki shook his head from the blow he had taken when he had slammed into the table. Glaring at the budgie he growled. "Get over here and say that you molesting… feather ball!" he snapped and jumped again. To late he realised that he was heading for a chair and that it would easily topple over by his weight. "YAAAA!"

Watari, who had snapped out from his shock, quickly grabbed the pup in mid air. Holding the panting being close he sighed in relief. "Be more careful, Tsuzuki. There is no need to be upset. I have the antidote in my lab so after we catch him we'll turn you back" he said. He received huge questioning puppy eyes in return and smiled. "Promise!"

Tatsumi sighed. "How are we going to catch him? He is too small to chase him around to grab him and I can't use my shadows ether" he said and looked at the Muraki budgie.

Muraki chirped and took off. His small form quickly vanished into the hallway and soon all you could hear was him chirping.

Tsuzuki barked once and wiggled out from Watari's grip and dashed after him. "Get back here you coward! I'm not done with you!"

Tatsumi and Watari looked at each other.

"Should we follow them?"

"Why not? Muraki might have poisoned something else or done something to lure Tsuzuki into a trap. We better follow"

Hisoka looked around the clean kitchen. He couldn't spot the cake Tsuzuki had eaten.

"Did the baka put it back after finishing his snack? He couldn't have… the potion affects you as soon as you get in your system. At least it did that to me" he mumbled and opened the fridge. He couldn't see any cake there. 'Did he eat the WHOLE thing? It makes me ill just thinking about it' he shivered as he reached in to grab a coke.

"I guess I have to ask Tsuzuki when he gets back to normal"

Tsuzuki skidded along the hallway as he chased the small budgie. 'Where is he going? There is nothing at the end of this hall except the kitchen' the pup though.

'Be a good boy and follow me, Tsuzuki-san. I have a little surprise for you' Muraki thought and vanished into the kitchen. He landed on the refrigerator with ease and turned round to watch the pup enter.

Tsuzuki slid along the floor as he realised Muraki had stopped. He closed his eyes to avoid seeing the thing he was going to smack into. He stopped one inch from the refrigerator. Blinking his eyes open when the pain didn't come and sighed when he realised he hadn't crashed into the white object. "Phu. I didn't hurt my self" he said to himself and sat on the floor.

SMACK

"ITAI!" Tsuzuki exclaimed as a bottle smacked him in the head. He scrambled way from the refrigerator and hid under the table. He poked his head out and looked around with a whine.

"Oh, deja vú. Brings back such lovely memories don't it, Tsuzuki-san?" Muraki asked and tilted his head.

Tsuzuki growled. "You were the one that dropped that bottle on me weren't you?" he snapped.

"No, it was me"

The amethyst eyed pup looked up and noticed for the first time that the refrigerator door was open. Looking up he saw the one that was responsible for the 'bottle dropping'. "What happened to you?" he asked and came out from under the table.

Hisoka huffed as he pushed down a box with tomatoes in it to get more room on the shelve. "Muraki happened to me that's what!" he said and stomped his hind leg once. "What didn't you poison in the kitchen, Muraki? The butter? The coke I know you poisoned " he asked and stood on his hind legs to get a view on the budgie sitting over him.

Muraki flapped down and landed on the shelve the bunny was occupying. "It was hard to place the potion in everything that was in the refrigerator. I had to make several rounds before I knew I had 'poisoned' all the things I knew Tsuzuki-san would consume. And no, the butter I haven't touched. The only things that I have 'messed around' with is the cokes, cakes and cookies" he admitted. "I have been observing Tsuzuki-san for over a month now so I had a pretty good idea what to poison"

Hisoka sighed. "And to believe I was sucked into this by mistake…" he said and looked down to Tsuzuki. "I was turned back into a freaking bunny because you like coke!" he accused.

Tsuzuki blinked. "Anno…. I don't drink coke, Hisoka. You do. I drink tea or lemonade, not coke" he said and tilted his head. His blond partner should know that now. It made the pup a little sad that his partner didn't know such things about him. He knew almost everything about the blond…

Hisoka frowned. "Then why was the coke…" he began. He looked at the budgie and growled. "You didn't…"

Muraki nodded once. "I did. I knew you would drink the coke so I poisoned it to. And before you ask, boy, yes I did poison it on purpose. And soon you will find out why" he said and took off.

The blond bunny looked after him before looking down at his partner. "Tsuzuki! I'm going to jump! He have to catch him!"

Tsuzuki nodded and placed himself under the bunny. He didn't even flinch as Hisoka landed on his back and as soon as the bunny was secured on his back he took off after the bird. "Why do we need to catch him for? We can get the antidote and chase him as humans!" Tsuzuki said during the chase.

The blond shook his head. "No. I want to catch him so I can seriously hurt him with out being labelled as an animal abuser! I'm going to tear his tail feathers out!" he growled as he held on for dear life.

The two rounded a corner and was blinded by a strong light. Tsuzuki tried to stop but his paws didn't seem to be touching the floor. "What in the!" he gasped as he started to fall down the whiteness.

Then it all became black.
