SWITCHED

CHAPTER 3

Hisoka stared at the door Muraki went through. Hisoka made sure he was gone before heading out the door himself. He ran and ran until he was at Chief Kanoe's office. "Chief!" panted Hisoka. He started to bang on the door with his fists. "Chief! Open up! It's an emergency!" he yelled. "What seems to be the emergency?" came a voice from down the hall. Hisoka gasped inwardly. There walking down the hall was Muraki.

Hisoka stood as still as a corpse. "Oh, um nothing," Hisoka lied. "Hmm," came Tsuzuki's voice. "You seemed like something was wrong. You were banging on the door really hard. You can tell me, what's wrong?" asked Muraki (in Tsuzuki's body). Hisoka steeped back. "It has nothing to do with you, Tsuzuki," said Hisoka with venom in his voice. "Now, now, calm down Hisoka, you don't want to get all riled up," said Muraki putting his hand on Hisoka's shoulder. Hisoka shrugged it off. "Knock it off Tsuzuki! I know what's going on. I know everything. You can't hide from me…Muraki," said Hisoka. Muraki pinned Hisoka up against the wall.

Muraki was mad. "How did you know?" asked Muraki. "let me go!" Hisoka screamed. Muraki covered his moth with his hand. "Sshh," Muraki whispered. "Do you want everyone to hear us?" Hisoka was struggling as hard as he could to get Muraki off of him.

Thankfully, Hisoka's scream didn't go unnoticed. Watari, Tatsumi, the Goshoshin twins, and Kanoe all came running from the library to Hisoka's aid. When they rounded the corner, they saw Tsuzuki pinning Hisoka up against the wall. "Tsuzuki," Kanoe yelled. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Release him!" yelled Tatsumi. Tsuzuki smiled at them. "Why would I want to do that?" asked Tsuzuki nuzzling Hisoka, who had a disgusting look on his face. "Tsuzuki, this isn't like you!" yelled Watari. "Exactly!" said Hisoka who had somehow managed to get Muraki's hand off his mouth. "It's Muraki! He switched bodies with Tsuzuki!"

Muraki had had enough. "Okay fine," said Muraki. He released Hisoka. Hisoka sighed deeply and backed away from Muraki. Every one of the men were in shock. "How is this possible?" asked the Goshoshin twins in unison. No answer from any of the guardians.

Hisoka was almost away from Muraki when Muraki tackled him to the ground. Now Muraki was lying on top of a trapped Hisoka. Muraki brought out a shiny blade form the inside of his black trench coat. Muraki raised it to strike Hisoka in the heart. "You know what will happen if you move," Muraki threatened. Everyone gasped. They couldn't move otherwise, they knew Muraki would stab Hisoka. "Wait a minute," said Watari. That blade is from the Netherworld. It's called a 'Hell Blade.' It can kill Guardians and has the ability to switch bodies," Watari finished. "How do we switch them back?" asked Kanoe. "Well, my guess would be to have the two people who switched bodies, in this case, Muraki and Tsuzuki, to have them touch the blade at the same time," said Watari.

Muraki could here them talking. "What are they talking about over there?" asked Muraki. "Probably thinking up ways to kill you and send you to hell where you belong!" yelled Hisoka. For that he received a cut across the cheek. He gasped. The pain was unbearable. It stung like hell.

"Where is Tsuzuki?" asked Tatsumi after seeing Muraki cut Hisoka across the cheek. "I'm right here," said a voice. The men turned around and saw Tsuzuki trapped within Muraki's body. Tsuzuki looked over and saw his body on top of Hisoka. Tsuzuki narrowed his eyes and started waling over to Hisoka and Muraki. Muraki got off of Hisoka. Muraki yanked Hisoka up by his hair. He placed Hisoka in front of him like a shield. The Hell Blade was placed to cut Hisoka's heart if Tsuzuki moved. "Stop right there!" yelled Muraki. Tsuzuki stopped. "I did not go through all of this just so this brat could live," Muraki said.

It then clicked inside everybody's mind. Muraki had planned to take a hold of Tsuzuki's body so he could kill Hisoka. Then Hisoka wouldn't be in the way so Muraki could take Tsuzuki for his own sick pleasure!
