Chris: For all that don't know, sorry for the time taken for getting this out. I need to go to the hospital tomorrow for some cat scans and such, some problems with my head I guess, so this may take a little longer. I will have the Bon and Bon Christmas special though by Christmas Eve, just like I promised, no matter what. So thank you all for understanding.

Chapter 13

Hisoka was about to answer, turning his head to do so, when he stopped, eyes going wide. Soka turned as well and clung onto him harder, fingernails digging into him.

" Guys, what's…"

Watari stopped too, staring at the figure in front of them. The man stared, eyes blank, and watched them.

The blank eyes of the man named Saki.

OO

Tsuzuki struggled against the binds holding him onto the chair, glaring up at the mad doctor. His hissed through his teeth, body twitching back and forth, feeling the wires tear into his skin.

" Why!" He yelled. " Why do you need all three of them, I thought you needed to put him into me, why did you take them! Where are they!"

Muraki looked back at him, the smile plastered on as if it was stuck. As slowly as it seemed he could be he strode toward the jar holding his brother, putting one hand onto it.

" Don't you see…"

Tsuzuki fallowed his gaze, into the deep blue liquid holding the head and spine, eyes squinting.

' There!'

Three small gold orbs floated in, huddled together. They were so small Tsuzuki had to lean forward as close as possible to see. The orbs were so tiny, no bigger then a double A battery, and golden in color.

" What are those…"

" Those my friend, are souls. Your friends souls." Muraki explained. " You see, poor Saki refuses to awaken, he needs more then a body. He needs strength, and by absorbing those souls he will be able to live once more!"

Tsuzuki shut his eyes, turning away from the laughing doctor. He had seen the orbs, and could see their golden light slowly fading.

Behind him his hands began to work on the wire.

OO

If he was able Hisoka would have fallen backwards, but because of their position he just stood, eyes large, back straight.

" That's…"

Watari pointed at Saki, mouth agape.

' He's just as surprised.'

The figure stood, blank eyes staring at them. He made no movement toward them; his hands lying limply at his hides. His hair swayed behind him, getting in front of his face several times and yet he made no intention of wiping the bangs away.

" What do you want?" Hisoka finally yelled, holding Soka protectively in his arms.

The figure still watched them. Hisoka could feel himself shaking slightly, more out of the sudden chill that flowed through him then fear. It was indeed getting somewhat colder in the aqua area they were currently trapped in.

Slowly Saki lifted up his right hand, bringing it level with his hest and pointed outward. Out of reflex Hisoka turned Soka away, before noticing the mans finger was pointed past him.

" Hisoka, look!"

Turning at Watari's order Hisoka gasped.

He could see outside the watery like substance, could see Tsuzuki sitting in the chair, and Tsuzuki was looking back at them. Floating over Hisoka put one hand up, feeling his hand land on a hard surface in front of him. Tsuzuki turned away, and he could hear the faint laugh of Muraki.

" What's going on!" He hissed, spinning around the face Saki.

His body felt weird. He could feel it getting heavier as he moved. Blinking was becoming more of a task, and he could feel his breath slowing up.

Watari seemed to be having the same problem. He was leaning against the hard surface, arms wrapped around his naked chest, eyes closed.

" Watari, you hands!"

The older man looked down and gasped, bringing his hands in front of his face. He could see Hisoka through them, his fingers as transparent at lit up paper. " My hands…"

In his arms Soka moaned, eyes closed, face buried into his chest. Hisoka held him tighter, rocking him slightly.

" Your trying to take our souls…" Watari mumbled, barely audible. " Aren't you?"

Saki continued to stare, then without warning began to walk toward them as if on the ground. Hisoka held his breath, unable to move, as the apparition came forward…

… and walked by.

" What are you doing?"

The ghostly figure didn't reply, but brought up one hand and placed it onto the glassy surface, staring out. On the outside a large hand covered their viewpoint, but a lone golden ring could be seen.

' Muraki.'

Saki stayed standing there, the hand resting on the glass. He put his cheek against it and sighed.

" My brother…" he finally mumbled.

Hisoka could feel himself getting weaker and before he realized it he was on his knee's. The figure of Saki turned to him, stepping over his fallen body and brought a hand down, lifting up his chin.

' Sad eyes…'

The last thing Hisoka saw before drifting into a dreamless state was Saki, staring down at him.

Shaking his head.

OO

" And so it's done."

Tsuzuki's head shot up, staring into the jar. The orbs that once floated there were slowly disappearing, until the final one blotted out. His eyes widened and his violently began to struggle, trying desperately to get away.

" Bring them back!" He yelled, voice going hoarse from all the cursing and screaming.

Muraki seemed to ignore him, his head tilting back and mad laughter echoing around the room. He brought up his hands, slamming them against the tank, his forehead hitting the glass. The mans shoulders shook as his voice cackled.

" Come, by brother!"

Tsuzuki watched in horror as the thing in the tank began to move, head jerking side to side, spinal cord whipping around. The thing's squinted eyes opened wider yet still stared for ward as it jerked.

" Come by brother, Saki, live again!"

In his sudden shock Tsuzuki tried to turn backwards, and in his haste he fell, back and chair slamming against the floor. He winced and kicked his feet, spinning the chair to the side. His hands, still bound, twitched and clawed.

Suddenly he stopped, breath catching in his throat. In front of his face was Hisoka's, pale eyes blank and wide in pain and horror. His skin was deathly pale and he could see the bottom of his cheek, which rested on the floor beginning to turn a black and blue color.

' Hisoka…'

He always enjoyed his time with the younger boy, no matter their frequent arguments and small chatter. It was easy to say they had become the best of friends.

And now he was gone.

Tsuzuki looked away, fresh tears streaming down his cheek. His gaze settled on the limp backs of Watari and Soka who lay together in a heap.

' They all counted on me. I was supposed to help them, and now they're…'

Something screamed. Looking up Tsuzuki turned his head to the side.

Muraki could be seen, glaring up at the object in the container. The head and spinal cord was whipping around violently, as if trying to escape its wire binds. The cold laughed of the insane doctor cried out, rushing into his ears.

The mouth of the head opened and Tsuzuki winced as a load ear-piercing scream could be heard. The spinal cord spun, smacking into the glass and shattering it, striking Muraki in the face and sending him sprawling. Water rushed out and splashed onto Tsuzuki's now shivering body, the man unable to get out of the way in time from being bounded to the chair. Still screaming the head of Saki shook its neck, the cords snapped and dropping him to the floor, the crying limb rolling.

Standing, cheek bleeding profusely, Muraki bent down and picked up the head that was still twitched. Taking one hand he brushed away the wet locks. Tsuzuki watched in horror, still coughing and sputtering. Muraki's expression took a dramatic change though, a frown taking its place, eyes wide, mouth opening, and he suddenly dropped the head, which rolled once more in front of Tsuzuki.

The fuda user saw the screaming heads eyes stop on him and felt his blood freeze.

Then it stopped.

The mouth closed slightly, eyes widening, and finally rolling back into his head. The thrashing cord finally stopped, dropping to the floor with a wet splash.

" No, Saki! Live, live!"

Tsuzuki rolled over, cords on his wrists finally snapped sending him onto his stomach. When his eyes peered up they were once more met with Hisoka.

Who, in return, blinked.

OO
