A/N: I totally forgot to say this in the last chapter, but I wrote that during economics and the teacher made us listen to country and that song was on. Now, I don't hate country music, it's just not my first choice when it comes to genres.

Disclaimer: Is this really necessary? I don't know, but just in case, I do not own any of Yami no Matsuei. :insert cute comment:

Chapter 6

"Just give up, Asato," Tsuzuki told himself. "You might as well go tell Hisoka that you don't have a present for him. You suck."

Tsuzuki was walking down the hallway as slow as possible, hunched over and dragging his feet. There was nothing that could cheer him up. Not hearts or flowers. Not banners or cupids. Not even the chocolates he kept being offered on his own personal trail of tears.

Finally coming to his office, he hit his head on the door and turned the knob only to find it locked. "Odd," he said. Taking out his key, he unlocked it but was still unable to get in. "What the hell?" Tsuzuki was starting to get a bit panicked. He began to knock on the door and said, "Hisoka? Hisoka, are you in there?"

Getting annoyed with people banging on the door, Hisoka yelled, "What is it?"

Overjoyed to hear his partner's voice, Tsuzuki cheered, "Hisoka! You're alive!" –Hisoka raised an eyebrow at that statement. – "I can't get in! Is there some kind of force field keeping me out?"

"Yeah, a desk."

"….A desk? Why would somebody put a desk in front of the door?"

"To keep trouble-makers like you out."

"But who would do that!"

"Terazuma." Right after he said that, Hisoka knew he shouldn't have. He immediately began to feel some of Tsuzuki's anger. Hisoka quickly glanced at Terazuma, who had been way into his cigarette to notice Tsuzuki's presence. All of this made Hisoka a tad bit nervous on the inside. He wondered what exactly was going on in Tsuzuki's mind.

While Hisoka was preparing himself for the unknown, inside Tsuzuki's head, there was an overflow of misconceptions. Particularly that Terazuma had barricaded the door so he could have Hisoka all to himself. Mind you, this didn't make any sense at all because of the fact that Terazuma couldn't even touch Hisoka, but when you're in a panic, your brain doesn't listen to reason. All Tsuzuki was paying attention to was that Terazuma was in there alone with his precious, little 'Soka-chan, and he couldn't get in. (It was at this point in time that Hisoka thought it would be best for him to take protection under his desk.) So Tsuzuki did what any other Guardian of Death with incredible power would do: he used that incredible power to blast the door away.

Hisoka's instincts were right. Almost immediately after he was under the desk, there was a white flash followed by that explosion sound. Hisoka peeked from under the desk and saw a ton of office supplies flying toward the wall and out the window. He then felt his desk start to slightly move an inch, until it was forcefully shoved against the wall, trapping Hisoka in the little part where you sit. This was probably the only time he was thankful to be stuck in his small, teenage body.

A little surprised by how much damage he had caused, Tsuzuki's attention was soon pulled to where Hisoka was struggling to push the desk away and crawl out. So far, he had succeeded in getting his head and right arm out.

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki exclaimed. He quickly pulled the rest of the boy out and held him tightly while rubbing his cheek in the soft hair. Tsuzuki loved the feel of Hisoka's hair. It was like a bed of curls he could sleep in. And he would have since Hisoka was in a daze, but he was interrupted by a book hitting him in the back of his head.

"Dumbass!" Terazuma shouted. "Why the hell did you blow up the office?"

Giving him as mean looking a glare as possible and hugging Hisoka even tighter, Tsuzuki said, "I wouldn't of had to if you hadn't put a fucking desk in front of the door to keep Hisoka to yourself!"

"What? Why the hell would I want to be alone with the kid?"

"You just were!"

"Would you shut up?" Hisoka yelled as he pushed Tsuzuki away. "You're giving me a headache."

"I'm sorry, Hisoka! I was just trying to save you!"

"Save me from what, idiot?"

"From that!" Tsuzuki pointed an accusing finger in Terazuma's direction.

"I was barely even talking to him!" Terazuma said.

"I bet you were plotting to take him away, weren't you?" Tsuzuki yelled, reason being completely lost.

By now, Hisoka was glad Tsuzuki was okay, but already was getting a major headache. So he decided it was best to leave without them noticing, which, thank the gods, they didn't.

"You are the biggest dumbass ever created!" Terazuma shouted. "How the hell do you manage to keep your job?"

"Easy. I perform a hell of a lot better than you do!"

"That's it! It's ass kickin' time!"

"Bring it on, pussy!"

"Hold it!" an extremely pissed off Tatsumi commanded, stopping the two from destroying the place even more. Two blue eyes slowly scanned across the room, taking everything in. "Tsuzuki," Tatsumi finally said through gritted teeth. "I am going to ask you a question. And before you answer, I want you to think – Terazuma, keep your mouth shut! Tsuzuki, I want you to really think before you say anything. Okay? Now then, why did you blow up the office?"

Tsuzuki thought, but there really wasn't too much to think about. "Um… to get in?"

"Alright. But why did you want to get in so badly?"

"Becaaauuuse, Hisoka was in here?"

"Then why didn't you ask him to move the desk and let you in?"

"…………….. I don't know."

"That excuse is not good enough and you know it, Tsuzuki! It is now your job to clean all of this up!"

"What? But Tatsumi, I-!"

"If you don't like that, I could always dock your pay."

"Um, that's okay, I'll clean. Hisoka, will you help… Hisoka? AH! Hisoka's gone! I gotta go find him!"

"Later! Right now you need to go find a broom! Now go!"

"But Hisoka-!"

"Is probably in the library. And the sooner you get started, the sooner you can go find him."

"Right!" Tsuzuki then ran off to get some cleaning supplies while Terazuma smirked at the display of Tsuzuki's current state of humbleness.

A/N: Bad ending. Sorry if there are any mistakes. I actually typed the seventh chapter before this and then this chapter and it's been two straight hours of typing and it's late and there are too many "and"'s in this sentence and now I'm really tired. So, sorry. Please review!
