Disclaimer: I do not, under any circumstances, own Yami no Matsuei. I wish I did…but I don't…sadly, I'd be one happy S.O.B if I did.

Okay, sorry, I lied! This one isn't going to be yaoi…I just didn't know where to fit it into…it would just be kind of there…I promise the next one's going to be yaoi…I'm the progress of writing it now! . Anyway, please read, and review. Onward, march! Wheeee.

Could this be love?

Chapter 3

"Seems like a nice place," Hisoka noted. "Yep, it is a nice place, and they have great food, too!" Hisoka laughed, "How did I know you were going to say that?" Tsuzuki shrugged, "I don't know, 'cause you're an empath?"

Hisoka rolled his eyes, "You think all foods great." Tsuzuki lightly pushed him, "I do not think all food is great…just 99.9 percent of it." Hisoka pushed him back, "Same thing."

Tsuzuki opened the door for him, "Ladies first," He said. Hisoka smirked, "Stupid people second," he said while walking in. Tsuzuki stuck his tongue out, "I'm not stupid, and you're so mean to me, 'Soka."

Hisoka smirked, "Yeah…" They were escorted to a table by the window, and Tsuzuki immediately started looking through the menu. "The view's nice," Hisoka noted.

"Yeah, it is, everything looks so peaceful at night." The waiter came back only moments later. "Are you gentlemen ready to order?" Tsuzuki nodded and began ordering.

Surprisingly, Tsuzuki let Hisoka have alcohol, but nothing extremely strong. By the end of their meal, they were both hysterically laughing, apparently drunk. 3 bottles of wine were scattered across the table, nothing to strong, huh? Though, apparently Tsuzuki wasn't as drunk as Hisoka over there. "This stuff is good!" Hisoka said.

Tsuzuki nodded, downing another shot. "What do 'ya call this stuff again?" Hisoka asked, dazed.

"Wine." Tsuzuki answered. 1

"Oh, yeah! Well, it's good," Hisoka, said finishing his glass. Tsuzuki left the money on the table, and dragged Hisoka along.

"Where're we goin'?" Hisoka asked, tripping for the fifth time.

"You'll see!" Hisoka glared at him, but kept walking.

Neon lights flashed on the sign above, loud music audible even from outside the building, spotlights, and gaudy paint all covered the building. (What the hell is up with me and neon signs?)

Hisoka looked up, "Where are we?" He asked, sobered down a little.

"We're at a dance club!" Hisoka groaned.

"I don't dance," He said.

"Come on it'll be fun, geez you're such a poor sport." Tsuzuki grabbed his wrist and dragged him in.

The music pounded in their ears, spotlights on the dance floor encircled the people dancing, and glow sticks were being handed out left and right. Hisoka had to yell, to be heard over the music. "Tsuzuki, why are we here?"

"To have fun! Come on let's par-tay!"

The music picked up its tempo and Tsuzuki flung Hisoka into the mob of people. Hisoka tripped but caught his balance just in time to avoid hitting someone. Tsuzuki smiled. "You'll have fun calm down." He grabbed them both drinks, and ran back to where Hisoka was standing.

"Here."

"Oh, more wine?" He asked.

"Nope, this is something different." Hisoka took the brightly colored drink from him, cautiously taking a sip.

"It's sweet," he said taking another sip.

"And it even has an umbrella," Tsuzuki said waving his around. Hisoka laughed.

And thus, five drinks later…

"Gawd, this is good!" Tsuzuki smirked. He had never seen Hisoka drunk before, mainly because he didn't let him drink. Except for that one time Hisoka had accidentally downed his wine when they were fighting over food. Their first meal out… in Nagasaki. He sighed recalling the memory

Tsuzuki had put hot sauce on the last dumpling; knowing Hisoka would grab it first, because the table spun around… and the dumplings were originally on Tsuzuki's side, Hisoka automatically reached for what he thought to be his glass. Instead, he grabbed Tsuzuki's… downing what was left in one shot… passing out seconds later. To Tsuzuki's amazement Hisoka hadn't passed out yet. Maybe he had built up a tolerance to the stuff.

Wow, he can really hold that stuff down. Tsuzuki thought to himself. I wonder…

His thought was cut off, "Don't even Tsuzuki, remember I can feel your emotions."

Tsuzuki grinned sheepishly, "Uh, yeah…" Dammit! Maybe if I catch him off guard… Tsuzuki smirked to himself and was rewarded with yet another glare.

Hisoka burst out laughing, "If only you could see the look on your face." He finished his drink and got up from the bar, tripping…again. Tsuzuki got up.

"I'll be back, I've got to find a bathroom, and be good while I'm gone. Oh, and, stay there."

"Yeah, yeah…"

Tsuzuki carefully walked away trying not to fall, and or be sick all over someone. Hisoka laughed, and walked toward the opposite end of the bar.

"Hey, gorgeous!" a voice called out from behind him.

Hisoka swung around, "Huh?" He blinked a few times. "Me?" He asked.

The tall blond man walked over to him, "Yeah, you, how's about we take a ride?"

Hisoka laughed, "Do I know you?" He said.

"No, but I'd like to know you." The man replied.

Hisoka blushed at the implication, "Uhm…" He cautiously backed up, when the taller man took a step towards him. He backed up until he hit a wall.

"No where left to go now, sweet cheeks." The much taller man said, winking. The tall man stepped in close till he was only centimeters away from Hisoka. The taller man leaned down, until he's mouth was next to Hisoka's ear.

"You're so hot," He whispered into Hisoka's ear.

Hisoka blushed another twenty different shades of red.

"I…" Before he could finish, his mouth was covered. Hisoka's eyes widened, and tried to push away, but the man was too heavy to move. The blond man, moved to Hisoka's neck lightly biting down ever once and a while.

"Ugh, get off." Hisoka said.

"No."

Tsuzuki got back from the bathroom to find the place where he had left Hisoka, empty.

"Now where did he go off to this time?" Tsuzuki said aloud. He sighed, "Great…" Tsuzuki looked around for him, but one; it was too dark to see and Hisoka didn't really have bright clothes on, and two; he wasn't even looking in the right direction.

"Sir?" A voice called out from behind him.

Tsuzuki turned around, to see the bartender had called him, "Yes?"

"Are you looking for him?" The bartender pointed in the direction in which Hisoka had gone off in.

Tsuzuki looked over to the back wall, only to see Hisoka and that blond guy 'necking'. He growled.

"Yes, thank you," And with that, he stalked off in the direction of the two.

"Will you get off?" Hisoka said pushing at the older man's chest.

"No," came the blunt reply. Before Hisoka could say anything, the weight was lifted from him, and he looked in time to see the guy being pushed against the wall.

"If I'm not mistaken, he asked you to get off, did he not?"

Hisoka pulled his jacket back on. "Tsuzuki?" Tsuzuki glared over at him digging his arm into the guys back.

"Didn't I tell you to stay over there?" Hisoka could feel the anger rising from Tsuzuki.

"Uh…yeah…"

"Then why are you over here?"

"Look, man," Said the mystery blonde, "This is my find so get the hell out of here."

Tsuzuki looked back over at the guy he had slammed against the wall. Pushing him harder into the concrete. "And who the hell are you?"

He looked over to Hisoka, "Who is this guy?"

Hisoka shrugged, looking away, "I don't know…"

Now Tsuzuki was angry. No one took advantage of his Hisoka. Tsuzuki smirked, "Hisoka, did this man ask if he could molest you?"

The man struggled against Tsuzuki's hold, "Look, I'm Kinjin, and I wasn't molesting him, thank you."

Tsuzuki's eyes narrowed, "Did I tell you, you could talk? Did I? 'Coz I don't remember telling you, you could. Now, get out of here before I seriously hurt you."

He let go of him, "I should kill you, but you're lucky that today I'm being nice to strangers like yourself..."

"I'm not looking for trouble, man…" Tsuzuki glared at him, his eyes filled with promises of death.

"Fine, I'm going, but no one can resist this." He winked at Hisoka, and with that said he left. 2

Hisoka straightened out the rest of his clothing, before looking back at Tsuzuki.

"Did he hurt you?" Tsuzuki asked.

"Huh?"

"Did. He. Hurt. You?" he grit out.

"No." Hisoka replied, quietly.

"Good," He said walking away.

"Are you mad, Tsuzuki?" Hisoka asked.

"No…" He said gritting his teeth.

"Don't lie, Tsuzuki, I know you're mad…I'm sorry."

Tsuzuki stopped walking, turning around abruptly, and "Sorry for what? Leaving the place where I told you to stay? Getting hit on by another guy? Me having to find you with him?"

Hisoka winced at his words, and not to mention, the emotions coming from him and the other people around him weren't helping his headache any.

"Well, you know what? Sorry just isn't going to cut it this time," he spat out bitterly.

"Tsuzuki…" Hisoka reached out and placed his hand on Tsuzuki's shoulder.

"I really am sorry…" Hisoka's hand slipped away as he collapsed on the floor in a dead faint.

Tsuzuki spun around, "Shit, he passed out."

Tsuzuki didn't hesitate to pick him up; he cradled him in his arms protectively eyes softening, anger forgotten, as he pushed his way past the crowd of people heading outside. He walked along occasionally looking down at the sleeping form in his arms. He sighed.

"Sometimes I worry about you, Hisoka, if only you knew how much…" He smiled. "So gentle, yet so cold inside, your tearing me apart, Hisoka, even now I worry that one day Muraki will came back to get you. That is why you were so stubborn to give up our last case, that's the only reason why the chief had you taken off of it; I wish you'd understand it was for your own good."

He knew that Hisoka was passed out, and probably didn't even hear a word of that, but he felt better telling Hisoka. Tsuzuki opened the door to his apartment, and gently kicked it close behind him. He laid Hisoka down on the couch and covered him with a blanket. Tsuzuki pulled up a chair and silently watched Hisoka. He brushed a few stray hairs away from Hisoka's face, "Rest up, Hisoka."
