Hisoka shot up in his bed. The sweat dripped from his body, trailing down the side of his face from his forehead and damping the sheets from his body. His harsh breathing calmed as he realized where he was and that all of it was just a nightmare. Still.. the bright green eyes and silver hair of the child.. it haunted him. The child couldn't possibly be Muraki's. Why was this tormenting him...
'Bouya, what's wrong? Can't you sleep...?'
A shiver ran up his spine making him snap, back arching and head thrown back as if some one or something had hit him in the back. A loud gasp escaped his mouth and his breathing once again quickened at the icy feeling the room suddenly gave to his previously flushed and burning skin. "Muraki...!"
'Let me in bouya, let me see your mind.'
"No!" Slim fingers tangled in their owners hair, twisting and tearing at the roots in the scalp. He shook his head from one side to the other. "no no no no nonononono..." he began to whisper and mumble under his breath as he ducked his head, shaking and clutching his head for something to keep him anchored. His shields and defenses were raised quickly both physically and mentally. He locked himself from the world around him solidly. "NO!"

Tsuzuki knocked at Hisoka's door. The boy had not shown at an investigation meeting or shown himself all day. Tsuzuki was really beginning to worry. Hisoka had grown cold lately, distant from him. He didn't know what he had done to make his young lover so angry with him. He feared, maybe Hisoka didn't love him or maybe he had pushed to far that night. Hisoka said it would be alright and he had gone slow and gentle... He was just scared of Hisoka becoming a hermit again, they'd worked so hard to bring him to where he was, and now.. it seemed he had done something to mess it up. Above all, Hisoka's physical well being seemed to have been effected by it all.
"Hisoka? Open the door 'soka, it's me.. Tsuzuki.." Tsuzuki knocked again on the door, a little harder this time. There still came no answer but when he listened and pressed his ear tot he door he hear a muffled scream come from within. "Hisoka!" He said with a gasp before kicking down the door.
Once inside Tsuzuki called his partners name loud, echoing off the walls. "Hisoka! Hisoka!" No sound was made, not even a cry of pain or such that he could go on so Tsuzuki began to search the house. Heading to the bedroom he found Hisoka collapsed on the floor, topless wearing only pajama bottoms. His young form was twisted and wrapped in the blankets and soaked with a cold sweat. "Hisoka!" Tsuzuki reached out to his partner but once he got close enough his hand was shocked and burned away by a still present force shield. Hisoka seemed to have fainted and in doing so raised his shields in protection to Tsuzuki. Something was wrong, Hisoka had to be really sick and he didn't know what to do.

Hisoka opened his eyes groggily again. His head was pounding and his body stiff. His throat was dry cracked and burning. His skin felt hot, like he'd come from hell's flames themselves. He moaned hoarsely, his throat constricting and screaming pain into his head for him not to do it again. a cool cloth was placed on his head and a few annoying stray strands brushed from his face.
"Don't move bon. You're body's too overstressed in your condition. You should take better care of yourself, there's another depending on your health now..."
"Where am I?"
"Tsuzuki found you on your bedroom floor. You're in your own bed. From what I hear he heard you scream when he came to check up on why you hadn't been out all day and kicked in the door."
Hisoka opened his eyes and opened them wide to this. He struggled to lift himself up off the bed. "Tsuzuki... you...!"
Watari gently pushed the boy back down by his shoulder. "I didn't tell him anything. I told him you must have passed out from stress. It's been more than stress though, hasn't it bon?" Hisoka looked to Watari with a bit of fear but with venom. It was non of Watari's business as to what was making him stressed, after all, everything was his fault in the first place!
Watari blinked at Hisoka's reaction. He was not so used to having anger so directly well.. directed towards him. He was not one to be so serious but Hisoka's case had made him so lately. He didn't think there was anything he could do to avoid what had already happened, even if he was able to reverse the effects of the potion, he wouldn't be able to do it till after Hisoka had already... "You should tell him, bon. I'm sure your fears are all for nothing..."
"Watari...?" Tsuzuki poked his head in through the cracked door. "I heard voices, is Hisoka up?" One looked to the bed and the emerald eyes that could now shine from beyond the pale eyelids and Tsuzuki ran straight through Watari, knocking him over and flying with 003 to the floor in a quite comedic style. "Hisoka! Are you all right!" His fluffy inu ears and tail had sprouted and his body, his eyes large and shimmering. "I was so worried!"
"The door is coming from your salary..." Hisoka turned away from Tsuzuki, suppressing the feeling that lay deep in his lower stomach.
"Hidoi Hisoka..." The inu ears and tail dropped and waterfall tears fell from his eyes. He whimpered.
Watari took in the scene. Perhaps, it was a mistake... Maybe... they both were too young..
