Hello everyone!
Now then. I finally have all the main characters introduced, for the most part and now it's about time that I finally upload the chapter about what's been going on with Hisoka. Sorry for the delay. This was a really hard chapter for me to write. Well, I hope it was worth the wait! And sorry but Tsuzuki's training will be in the next chapter! I think! Soon then! Moving on…
Disclaimer: I still don't own them…
-Chapter 13-
This takes place right after Hisoka was taken by Muraki and Kuri.
-Hisoka's point of view-
Damn! Damn! Damn!
How the hell did this happen!
I'm currently in a dark, damp, room. It resembles a dungeon, with its stone walls and yes torches. Torches! Is this guy stuck in the past or what?
Creek!
Great… That bastard is probably back, with Kuri. Honestly what's going on?
"I see that you're awake." Muraki says, walking over and standing right in front of me.
Have I mentioned that I'm chained to a wall and that this guy, Kiyoshi, is defiantly stuck in the past? I think I may have mentioned that... but when you're in a place like this, it's easy to forget.
"Pay attention to me when I'm speaking to you boy." Muraki hisses as he grabs my chin, turning me so I'm looking into his mismatched eyes.
"I didn't realize that you were speaking to me." I reply coldly.
He chuckles and lets go of me, walking over to where Kuri is currently standing.
"You know… We could always change you as well. It seemed to work so well on this girl here, but then again it's not my decision to make." Muraki said.
"And why is that?" I ask. Wait. Why did I ask that again?
Muraki smiled. "That's up to Kiyoshi boy." Muraki then turned and began to leave. He came to the door and stopped. He looked back at me and said. "I'll tell Kiyoshi you're awake." before leaving.
Damn.
I let out a breath that I didn't realize that I was holding as the door closes, but I'm still not alone. I turn my attention back to Kuri.
"What the hell are you doing?" I ask her.
She takes a few steps towards me, stopping a good distance away. She looks at me, and now I can see it. She's changed. I know she's a vampire, but I mean I can see the changes. Her eyes are darker, and have lost the light that they once possessed. She's thinner, more muscular. She has this aura about her that is dark, not exactly evil, but dark.
"I'm helping my master." was her reply.
"Kiyoshi isn't your master. You don't work for him, or you didn't use to. You're a guardian of death like me. This isn't who you really are Kuri."
She laughs. I am confused by this.
"You're so naïve, it's rather cute."she says as she continues to laugh.
"What?" I ask.
"You honestly think you knew me, that you know who I am. Kiyoshi didn't' turn me evil, he just brought out the darker side of me."
"Is that what he told you? If it is, how could you believe him?"
"He did tell me but I already knew. I could feel it, the darkness inside of me. Kiyoshi merely brought it out. I knew it would come out one day."
"I can't believe that." I reply.
"Well, if Kiyoshi decides to change you, you'll know for yourself." she says.
"You can't be serious. Kuri you need to wake up. Don't you see what you're doing? How you're hurting everyone?"
"Do you honestly think I care." she says, laughing.
"I thought you use to." I say. I would say more, but the door opens again. It's hard for me to see who it is, but I can feel this person. This is Kiyoshi.
He enters the room, slowly approaching me. He's larger than Tsuzuki, and yet similarly built. He has long back hair and a sculpted face. He moves as if he's floating, which his black robe makes easier, since it comes down to the ground. The robe has gold embroidered on it in an intricate design. There's this aura around him that is simply power, a dark and sinister power. So much so that it's almost overwhelming for me, the darkness inside his man. As he comes to a stop in front of me, I look up, straight into his eyes. I gasp, they're black. No white is present in his eyes, and he's looking at me. He slowly smiles, a wicked smile that makes my skin crawl. He purposely bares his teeth; letting his two canines show as the light catches them.
Holy Crap!
"Well Hello there." he says in a voice that is laced with darkness.
I don't respond. Hell no! I'm not stupid.
"Are you going to respond or not boy?" he says, grabbing hold of my face, bringing it up so that I face him. His long fingernails close around my chin, digging into it so I bleed. He leans down and licks it off slowly. I try to move my head but his grip is too strong. Then he's gone. When did he move?
"Have him brought to my room" Kiyoshi says, turning and leaving.
I'm stunned and feel numb as hands being to grab me. The chains are undone and I fall forward. Unfortunately, Muraki catches me. I look up at him and realize that I still can't move. Muraki smiles at me as I realize that I'm completely paralyzed.
"I see you're beging to realize who you're dealing with." Muraki says.
I find my vision fading, as the darkness encompasses me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wake in the darkness of my mind. There's nothing, not even the normal nightmares I have. There's just nothing…
I see a figure. For a moment I think it's the man of shadows I've become use to seeing, but this person is different, I just know it.
The person slowly comes into view, and it's…. it's...Tsuzuki!
"Hisoka?" he asks confused.
I run over and embrace him, he returns the embrace.
"Are you alright Hisoka? What's going on? Where are you?" he asks.
I can't reply, I'm just so glad to see him. I didn't realize it but I'm crying, he just tightens his embrace, holding me protectively.
"Well isn't this touching?" I hear. I know that voice and I don't want to see him. NO. Not now. Not when Tsuzuki is right here.
"Who are you?" Tsuzuki asks, pulling me against him tighter.
"I'm Kiyoshi" he says.
"It's you then." Tsuzuki says darkly.
"Yes. And I'm afraid you aren't supposed to be here. I'm here for the boy." Kiyoshi says, looking at me. I'm not even looking at the man, but I can feel his eyes on my back.
Tsuzuki moves me so I'm behind him.
"That's not going to do anything. See?" Kiyoshi says.
I'm not sure what happened but I'm standing next to Kiyoshi. I try to move but find myself unable to move once again. Damn it all!
"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki yells, as the darkness begins to latch onto me. The darkness is moving, as if it's thousands of arms reaching up. The very hands of hell, trying to drag me down with them. I try to call out, but can't speak as the world goes black.
-End of Hisoka's point of view-
"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki yells.
Kiyoshi laughs.
"What have you done? Where is he?" Tsuzuki cries out.
"I'm rather impressed that you're here. Either you two have an incredible bond or you're one of us... maybe both. So which is it?" Kiyoshi asks, not even acknowledging Tsuzuki's questions.
Tsuzuki doesn't answer. He only glares at Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi only smiles. "Well then, I must be going. I have business to attend to." Kiyoshi says as the darkness begins to envelope him.
"Get back here!" Tsuzuki yells.
"And tell my sister I'll be waiting." Kiyoshi says before he too is gone.
"Damn!" Tsuzuki curses as he feels himself waking up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Hisoka's point of view-
I awoke from the darkness to notice that I'm lying down. I try to get up but can't. I look and notice my arms and legs are bound to a bed. Great...
I look around and try to figure out where exactly I am and who's here. It seems that I'm in a plain stone room. There's a metal table on the other side of the room, but besides that the room is empty. No one's even here, thankfully.
The door opens.
Just my luck...
Kiyoshi enters, alone... this can't be good...
"You awake boy?" he asks, coming over and sitting down on the bed.
I don't answer, like hell I would.
"Interesting talent you have there. I wasn't expecting you to have such connections with my sister. It interests me..." he trails off, running a hand across my chest. I want to move away from that hand but can't.
He watches his hand with great fascination. I didn't even notice it but he removed my shirt. All of a sudden he digs his nails into my skin, dragging his hand across my chest. I cry out. The pain is almost as bad as his emotions. They're so dark that it makes my head spin.
He removes his hand and leans down as licks my blood, that seeping up through the torn skin.
"My, the stories are true about an empath's blood... Well, that's a pleasant surprise." he says, leaning down and licking away more blood as the cuts begin to heal.
"What are you going to do to me?" I ask.
He sits up and smiles a toothy smile at me, blood running down his face, my blood.
"My dear boy, I'm going to drain every last ounce of blood from your body and then replace it my own, turning you into a perfect vampire slave." he says bluntly.
I freeze, my entire body tenses. What he just said... no... NO! That can't happen! NO!
"NO!" I yell, but he only laughs.
He leans down and whispers in my ear "You don't have a choice." before latching onto my neck.
It hurts! I've never felt a pain like this before, not even from Muraki. This is an endless darkness, only that that can be created out of hundreds of years of hatred. The draining hurts as well. My body fights it, this is nothing like when Nariko took some of my blood, and he's not even trying to mask the pain. I continue to fight the losing battle. There's nothing I can do.
He keeps draining and I can feel his mind invading my own more and more.
I think about my life in the department, of Watari and Tatsumi, of Konoe, of Damian and Nariko, and I think of Tsuzuki...
Tsuzuki!
Would I ever see him again? What's going to happen now? What's going to happen? I don't know, but I'm starting to fade my mind is going blank as the last of my blood is being removed. My breathing becomes harsher, and my heart struggles to keep beating, but it's to no avail. For a moment I think it's over but then there's fire.
His wrist is in my mouth, his blood dripping down my throat. "Suck" he orders, and I obey.
I drink and the flames seem to die, slowly but surely. I keep sucking until he pulls his wrist away and I fall into unconsciousness.
-End Chapter 13-
