Chapter 5! Haha…lots of you who posted reviews asked whether the secret was about Hisoka's empathy or Tsuzuki being his Guardian Angel. But, if you read this chapter, I think you'll find that out…

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW, BAKA?" Hisoka stood up in rage and left the table. He dashed upstairs and the sound of his door being shut was heard.

Tsuzuki was in disbelief. He looked at the empty seat across him. Then, he turned to Hijiri who had finished eating. "Etto…Hijiri-san…I'm sorry about…" he apologized.

Hijiri shook his head. "It's okay. I understand what you were trying to do and I appreciate it. But, in this case, it's better if he makes the decision whether he should tell or not," he said. Hisoka's plate was empty. Hijiri noticed that and felt relieved.

Tsuzuki watched as the brunette took the empty plates and bowls to the sink. "So, that means you knew?"

"I can't say that I knew but I think I understand why he hides it. He'll tell me when he feels like it. I won't rush things," Hijiri answered. He turned around and walked back toward the dining table where his teacher was still at.

Tsuzuki grinned. "I understand. Well, do you need any of my help now? I mean like washing the dishes or clean the table?" he offered, standing up. "No, it's okay. I'll handle this myself. Thank you for coming, sensei," Hijiri declined but somewhat felt thankful that the teacher felt welcomed.

………………

"Ja, I'll be going now. Thanks for inviting me for the dinner. I didn't get the chance to say it was marvelous," thanked Tsuzuki at the doorstep.

Hijiri laughed with his hands at his back. "Maa, I'm not that great. Soka-chan cooks better than me. It's a shame sensei didn't get to taste his cooking tonight 'cause it was my turn."

Tsuzuki was surprised to hear that. "Really? That's a surprise. Well, if we have time again, let's have dinner at my place. What do you say?"

He couldn't be more delighted than hearing this. "Great! We'll definitely come!"

"Sore ja. Thanks again. Bye," Tsuzuki said as he left the Kurosaki mansion. He intended to go straight back to his house but changed his mind. He took a left turn upon arriving at the junction of his house.

He sensed something down the road. There were no street lights and the silver moon was hidden behind the uninviting clouds. However, that was absolutely not a problem for him. He wasn't entirely a human, after all. All of a sudden, he felt a threatening force at the end of the road.

Without hesitating, his black shimmering wings started to appear behind his back. He decided that scouting by air was the best way to investigate the mysterious force. He jumped to the sky and flew leisurely. His majestic wings soared beautifully behind him as he flew low underneath the clouds, keeping a safe distance from the particular place.

As he was getting nearer, the force became stronger which forced him to land on the ground. He quickly built up his invincible and defensive shield and hid behind a large tree.

"We have their location, sir," a man voiced out.

"Good. Let's go," another man whom he called as 'sir' replied.

"Finally! We get to kidnap those two. I began wonder how much longer we must wait for this to happen," another man appeared in the scene. Tsuzuki thought he was probably leaning against a tree where he had a blind spot on it. He couldn't see their faces because of the intense darkness.

"Hm, be patience Jin. We would kidnap them sooner but the damned man suddenly appeared in their house. Ken, can you tell me who that man was?"

The first man who was called as Ken was typing something in his laptop. "Asato Tsuzuki, 27 years old. A new teacher in Kouzu High School, teaching History. Originated from Kyushu. He just arrived in Tokyo a week ago. No more details," answered Ken.

Tsuzuki was astonished by their up to date information. 'Wow, even they have details about me. Who are they, actually? And what are they talking about? Kidnapping? Kidnappers?' it suddenly registered to his head who were they.

"Just a fly. He has no connection of any kind to the twins."

Then, he realized. 'Twins? Could they be talking about…the Kurosaki-twins?' He wanted to leave but decided to hear more about their plans. "He just left the compound 10 minutes ago. He must've reached his house by now. Should I check on him, Tooru?" Ken shut off his laptop.

'NO!' Tsuzuki shouted in his head.

"No. No need," Tooru said. Tsuzuki sighed in relief silently. "Let's just get the boys and get our reward. We've been investigating about the Kurosaki twins for far too long. It's time," he continued. Tooru was obviously the leader of the trio. "Dispatch!" he gave out the dreaded order and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared.

"SHIT!" Tsuzuki quickly left the spot and flew into the sky. He was wondering, too why their simple kidnapping intentions gave out strong malicious force. "Meaning, they are ordered to get them dead or alive!"

He accelerated toward the house and saw three figures moved around the mansion in such rapid moves. 'How could they move that fast? Are they actually human?' he landed on the roof.

One of them, who he suspected as Ken opened the electric box outside the house and suddenly the whole house was in pitch black. 'I must get in before they do!' screamed Tsuzuki in his head and saw the chimney. 'In any way there is…' he slid into the square hole and thankfully, it was wide enough to fit a man his size.

……………………….

"Hm? Black out?" Hisoka peered from his door. He already fetched his torch light and was searching for Hijiri along the first floor hallway. "Hiji-chan!" he called out. He stepped out from his room and closed it slowly.

He flashed the torchlight at every direction he could reach. "Hiji-chan!" he called again. This time, he heard a reply in a scream state. "Hiji-chan! Doko ka?" he called again. He heard the sound of the water splashing. 'In the bathroom?' he rushed toward it disregarding whatever there was on the floor.

He opened the door and saw his twin lying on the floor. "Be careful where you flash that thing. Ouch…" Hijiri was moaning in pain. Hisoka went to him. "What happened?"

Hijiri chuckled. "I was taking a shower and then it suddenly went black out. I quickly finished my shower and as I was stepping out, I slipped," he explained and Hisoka helped him to get up. Hisoka's stomach was churning. He remembered the first time he fell in the shower and it was painful.

"You should've been more careful!" he scolded his brother for his clumsiness. "Hey, you were screaming for me. Would you feel better if I continue to sing in my shower rather than trying to get you?" Hijiri shot back.

Hisoka pouted his lips in defeat. "Well, at least I will know you're fine that way," he replied. They slowly walked toward Hijiri's room. Hisoka helped Hijiri with his clothes.

"I…I think I hurt my ribs and ankle," Hijiri admitted. Hisoka felt alarmed and flashed at them. They were blue. "Damn…in all bad situations…"

"I'm sorry…" Hijiri apologized. Hisoka suddenly felt guilty. "No, I don't mean you. This kind of thing happens okay? I'll call the doctor now," he searched the room. "Where's the damned phone?" he flashed at Hijiri's face. "Hey! I'm already bruised up and you want me to go blind, too? Next to the bed, bro! Where else would people put the phone?" he put his hand across his face, avoiding the light.

Hisoka smirked. He dialed Watari's number and put the phone at his ear. It took him a while to notice something. He put down the phone and started to redial again. Hijiri who was watching him started to wonder. "What's wrong, Soka-chan?"

Hisoka put down the phone again and stared at his brother. "The line's dead."

Wuargh! Glad that never happened to me…well, I did but in a different case. You know the portable brick layer game? It played on its own when my house went black out. I was sure there was no mouse! I saw its screen flashed! Just writing down my experience…
