A/N: Ive come to see that Yami No Matsuei fans are nicer critics than Gravitation fans, but I'll still write just to piss everybody off. Just kidding. Sorry that I took so long to update. Usually I update with in a couple of days but I still had Gravitation stories to write.
Also I've been taking time out from my study session to update for you all so bow down and be happy that I love you all so much! J/K(joke) This chapter might be a little boring just because I was bored with it so if you want to throw a fire ball at me or this chapter just go ahead.(...hides in a corner ...and cries) So chapter. 6 is now up READ AND REVIEW!
note: "The Four Noble Gods" is a CC so just deal with the fact that in my story these guys are something not to mess with when your a Shinigami.
Chapter 6
TSUZUKI'S POV
DEAD ringed my my mind over and over again. While I was with Muraki my friends were searching for me, they thought I was dead. I stared into space. Dead, dead, dead! I fell to my knees. Funny how once apon a time, death sounded much sweeter.
"Are you okay?" He rushed to my aid and stood me up. With one arm around Hisoka's shoulder I limped over to the nearest desk and sat down.
"How could you think that I was dead?" I don't know for sure what I was sad or angry about but I was. It was bad enough that I couldn't let myself fall in love with Muraki but to have your only friends think you were dead. Just made me felt sick to my stomach. How could I let this happen? Why now?
"I didn't think you were dead. It was just the facts were that you was given an assignment and you never came back." Just then his arms were wrapped around my neck. I looked at him for a moment. Then I hugged him back. "I should have come with you. Im so sorry." He whispered.
"No, I'm sorry I made you worry." I make everyone so sad, even Muraki gets worried even when its his fault most of the time. I cant even tell them where I've been. Its all my fault that Hisoka gets worried. Its because I had to be happy that made everybody else sad. I'm not meant to be happy. Its all my fault!
"I'm glad that your here." I felt tears coming from Hisoka down to my shirt. I'm making him cry. I'm making him cry because I was getting what I wanted... Muraki. I held Hisoka as he rested his head, now on my lap.
END TSUZUKI'S POV
Just then Konoe walked in.
"What the hell!"
"Konoe!" Hisoka and Tsuzuki both looked to the door where he stood.
"What? But you... how?" Tsuzuki stood and smiled gently.
"Good mourning. I'm sorry I'm late." He walked up to him. "Is there an assignment I should know about?" Tsuzuki asked as if he gone for two minutes.
"We have to go. Come with me." Konoe led Tsuzuki to his office. They walked in and Konoe just stood in front of his desk while Tsuzuki closed the door behind him. He turned and smiled brightly.
"So what did you want to talk about?" He asked.
"You listen and you listen good. You cant just be called dead and not be dead!"
"So I guess you didn't care that everyone thought I was dead."
"How could you even think that!" Konoe then punched Tsuzuki dead in the face. Tsuzuki's whole body arched to the right then he fell to the ground. All Tsuzuki did was stare at Konoe standing over him.
"..."
"Why would you think that I didn't care!"
"..." Tsuzuki continued to rub his face and looked silently at him. Then tears ran down Tsuzuki's eyes. "I'm sorry." Tsuzuki got up and walked out. Before he could close the door Konoe called to him.
"Your going to have to state to the four gods that your alive." Tsuzuki turned slightly.
"OK."
"Tsuzuki, I'm happy your safe. You should always know that." Tsuzuki left the room.

Tsuzuki didn't understand what was happening and now he had to explain to the four noble gods where he had been. Soon he then passed a very dark and shadow fulled room.
"Tsuzuki?" He turned and looked in the room but he couldn't see anything.
"Hello?" Tsuzuki quinted at the room.
"Tsuzuki? You were dead." Tsuzuki walked deeper in the room still confused about where the hurt voice came from. "Stop right there!"
Tsuzuki froze in his tracks but then smiled and continued to walk in when he realized that there was only one voice that could be so stern with him.
"Hello Tatsumi" Just then all the darkness in the room disappeared and standing in front of him stood Tatsumi but he wasn't smiling.
"What happened to you?" His voice didn't even try to soften from seeing Tsuzuki again.
"Well um ...I was--can you keep a secret?" Tsuzuki thought for a moment and then saw that he shouldn't tell anyone thats not completely meant to know. "I think its best if you didn't know where I was."
"Your going to get to trouble if you don't tell anyone." Tatsumi took a step forward. "If you tell me maybe we can find a way to help."
"I went to where the roses were endless. I'm really sorry." Tsuzuki turned away and faced the door. "Maybe one day you'll see it too. But then again you always had the freedom to see what ever you wanted right?" He walked out with out another word.
TSUZUKI'S POV
I Don't think I can take any more of this. And my sorries feel so cold and empty when I say it now.
I wonder if I should tell the truth about where I really went. I mean sooner or later everyone will find out. I can never keep a secret for long! I'm going to crack just like that time Watari some how made the building infested with butterfly's and after five minutes of tutor (questioning) Watari got caught. He didnt even get me anything for my birthday! So I had to make it up by cleaning his owl's cage. Trust me you haven't seen shit until you've seen that owl's shit!
I continued to walk with my head down and when I raised it again I saw Hisoka, armed crossed, leaning on the wall.
I cant even believe I didn't miss seeing him. Even if, to me it was only a little while, to them it was much longer than that. So long that they thought the worst. I quickly smiled. I cant hurt Hisoka anymore.
"How are you?" He sounded as if he cried more after I left.
"I'm fine but terribly hungry. Mine if you join me for lunch?"

We walked side by side to the café. It was sunny and there was a cool breeaze that made me feel calmer, then I looked at Hisoka and my nerves shot back up again.
END TSUZUKI's POV
They sat down and ordered two coffees and two big cookies --both for Tsuzuki-- and started to talk.
"So did you have fun?" Tsuzuki looked up from his cookie a little confused about what he just said. "Did you hear me?" Tsuzuki blinked twice. "I SAID DID YOU HAVE FUN?" Hisoka stood as if he was going to hit Tsuzuki, but then sat back down when he saw that the entire café of people was looking at him.
Tsuzuki smiled at him but it was ignored. Tsuzuki then frowned deeply. Hisoka took sip of his coffee--black of course-- and stared deeply at the cup of endless black. Hisoka then spoke again but calmer. "You must of liked what ever you were doing. Or you would have found a way to come back to me--I mean home-- I mean... damn." Hisoka started blushing deeply.
"I was content." He said slowly and clearly. Tsuzuki stopped eating for a minute to gather his thoughts. "I'm only going tell the gods where Ive been. If I told you where I was ,you would..."
"I'd what?"
"I'm sorry but I should go home and prepare for the meeting." Tsuzuki got up and turned away from Hisoka. He felt something tug on his shirt. He turned and smiled and at the green eyed boy.
"I'll follow you home. If thats OK with you." Hisoka almosted looked like a lost kitten.
"I would be happy if you did."

They made their way down to Tsuzuki's house in silence. When they reached his house Hisoka almost seemed sad, so Tsuzuki invited him in. They walked to the living room and sat down. Their conversation started with casual talk with a few fake laughs and awkward silences but never getting to a real issue. The sun began to set slowly.
"I guess I should leave now." Hisoka's voice was fulled with disappointment. They both got up and stared at each other. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"But.."
"But what?"
"I'm going to have to meet the four noble gods tomorrow. To explain my so called 'death and return'."
"Oh... I see." Hisoka then flew his arms around Tsuzuki's neck and held tight. He stood that way for a second then he whispered in Tsuzuki's ear.
"Has long as you come back to me ...you have to promise to come back to me. My god, my tourniquet." Hisoka kissed Tsuzuki on he cheek then held him tighter. Tsuzuki blinked twice then hugged him back.
"I promise I will always come back."
