Author's -blah blah blah- Notes: Okay, I'm back! Sorry for the LOOONG wait, but it's hard getting ideas for this story. But my writing has improved and so have my beautiful ideas! Ha ha ha! (not really) So please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami no Matsuei.
Hisoka- Oh, no!
Muraki- Don't you hate chapter without me in it?
Tsuzuki- I'm scared!
Yoko- Me, too.
LaDiDa- muwmuwmuhmuh! Once again I will WOW the readers! Ha ha ha!
"I'm finally going to find him!" Hisoka sneered at his reflection. "I'm going to find the one that pulled me out of the dark. My only one." Undead green eyes continued to stare at itself. Idly unaware of the demon nearly taking complete control of his own mind.

Midnight slowly neared and Hisoka was nowhere to be found. Tsuzuki searched for a while and his hopes of finding him that same night was fading.
"Where else could he be? Where...where?" Sitting down, Tsuzuki thought over his options. "Hisoka..."
Snow lightly fell from the cool gray sky. Tsuzuki didn't mind winter, but never really looked forward to it. It made him feel colder than he already was. His heart would sink deeper and his tears would feel like tiny needles hurting him with every step. But winter was a time of joy and happy feelings so he carefully got over his feelings and learned to enjoy it. This was not the case as tears started to trickle down from his violet orbs.
"Please be okay, Hisoka." The brunette whispered to himself.

"Finally! Now I can find Tsuzuki and kill that damned Muraki!" Hisoka grinned to Oni, the demon he made a certain deal with. "And when this is all over, Tsuzuki would be with me again, right?" His voice sounded more insecure than The All Powerful Hisoka that he has come to be.
"Of course, Hisoka." Oni reassured "The one named Tsuzuki would never turn you down after all of this. When this is over, you two are going to be together forever. But forever won't last long because of the deal, right?"
Hisoka sighed. "Yes, I won't forget my part of the deal. As long as I get to see him again, it's going to be okay. You'll get what you wanted. When you die, you'll have refuge within my body."
"Yes, yes. Mind, body and soul." The demon continued to smile as he faded away into the night.
Hisoka then continued to stare at his refection. The night air chilled him to the bone. Even though the room was heated, the unclean cold feeling continued to linger along his back. "So, this is what it's like to lose everything? To feel nothing but cold air around you... so this is what it's like to be empty."
He clenched his fist. "But Tsuzuki is going to change everything. Because he loves me and only me. He has to...or I'll be cold forever."

"Tsuzuki?" Tsuzuki's head sprang up from the familiar voice. "Tsuzuki, is that you?" The blond said running up to the smiling brunette.
Tsuzuki stood up with a warm smile as the blond glopped him to the ground. "Tsuzuki, you jerk! What kind of ghost joke is this? It's either you're dead or not!" Watari continued to hug the daylights out of his friend while still on the ground insulting him. "I had to eat sour jelly worms by myself for a year! And the library hasn't had one accident since you've been gone! Do you know how boring that is?"
Tsuzuki smiled. "I'm sorry," Tsuzuki stared up into the gray sky as show lightly continued to fall over them. "Wanna let me go now?"
"If I let you go...would you die again? Would you leave?" His grip tightened on the brunette's neck. "Or would you fix everything like you've done before?"
Tsuzuki sat up staring at his longtime friend. "When have I ever made anything better? My mistakes hurt people and my flaws scare people. What did I do to make things better?"
Smiling sadly Watari got up and brushed off the snow from his knees. "You became my friend, you showed Tatsumi how to love, and you pulled Hisoka from that dark place in his heart with your love." Tsuzuki sighed. "If you mean nothing to the world then at least mean something to us, especially to Hisoka."
"You wouldn't happen to know where he is would you?" Tsuzuki was running out of time.
"Tsuzuki, I'm sorry but Tatsumi told me that Hisoka is changing and that he might be going crazy." Watari's heart pained him to try and connect to his friend but there was nothing he could do, nothing else to say. Idly getting the courage, he spoke again. "Tsuzuki, it's not your fault for loving Muraki." The blond began. "And I won't blame you for it. It's just that, maybe, you should have told Hisoka before or have just said you didn't want to be with him. And it must be hard for you to love your friend's killer."
"I'm sorry...I got carried away. But, Muraki's changed. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't told me he had a bad feeling about what's going on here."
"Then I'll help you if you need it." The scientist said mildly cheerful.
"Well, I need to find Hisoka. Something big is going to happen and I don't want more trouble." They smiled at each other and went different ways to find the missing boy.

Hisoka continued to chant within the warehouse in downtown Tokyo. Tatsumi had become too noisy and this was Hisoka's only option. His heart beat faster as he felt his power running through his veins. Dark shadows began to dance around him. Hisoka sneered at this and continued to chant. Not too long after, Hisoka was transferred to another place.

Tsuzuki slowly neared Hisoka's apartment door. As partners Tsuzuki insisted that Hisoka live near him. Back then he would do anything just to be near Hisoka and now things were turned inside out. Sighing, he walked in.
"It's cold in here." he pointed out. "Too cold." Walking deeper into the room a horrifying smell consumed the room. "Oh, God!"
Arching back Tsuzuki quickly flipped the switch behind him. Then all he could do was stare at the endless corpses that lay in front of him. "Hisoka ... did this?" Feeling sick to his stomach he continued to walk deeper into the room, finding a piece of paper on the table, he picked it up.
My Tsuzuki,
I'm blinded by my tears and stone still by my fears
You've been taken away by the wind and never given back
dying, burning, life goes on
But through and through I've gone up and went down further
almost made me wish I had a real father
I don't know why, why you never came to rescue me
I don't know why you let me stay in my reality
and had my foolish mind take over me
I scattered my heart and given up on humanity
So my refection continues to laugh at me
Broken promises never fade
You never came and I'm
forever lost
"Hisoka... is that how you really feel? I'm... I'm so sorry! HISOKA!"

"Tsuzuki?" Green eyes opened slowly. "Tsuzuki... he has to be here!" Hisoka sat up and took in his surroundings. "Roses?"
Authors notes: CLIFFY! -blah blah blah- Sorry! -blah blah blah- late -blah blah blah- I love you all. LOL. Really though, I love this chapter, I also noticed that I put Watari to be the one that sees Tsuzuki first. That's because I started to think about doing a Wat/Tsu fic. And I tested it out in this chapter but this is a MUR/TSU fic. Please review even if you HATED it and want it burned! Thank you.
