Bokura: Wow what is up with me and not updating? Seriously? And I totally lost my idea of this , but I still have some clue as to what I am doing…I think… Ugh I apologize dearly… I hope I haven't lost touch with this series.. I've been overly obsessed with reading Akuroku fics at the moment for some reason or another. I am not sure myself as to why that is but ooo I was listening to the radio and I heard this chorus that reminded me of them so much called 'Already There' by Lonestar I think. And the chorus matched so well I think anyway. Go listen to it to see what I mean and ignore the rest of the parts just focus on the chorus. Go do it…now I say!

Anywaysssss…..I do not own this show sad yes, but just think now you can wait forever for any other manga thanks to me not owning it….

Possession

"It says here that each victim has ripped skin on their backs, each place prominently parallel to one another and both marks are found underneath the clavicle…." Hisoka pointed out as he continuously flipped through the pictures of the bloody mess , each one as bad as the other.

"Yes… and though I hate to ask…what else could that remind you of?" Tatsumi asked , his hands folded in front of his face as he cautiously glanced at the empathic boy.

"……..th-that can't be…."

"What is it Hisoka?" Tsuzuki asked ,worry present in his voice. He looked at the now shaking body of his partner.

"Puppet….the placing of each mark is where puppet strings would be….."He dropped the pictures on the table, far from his sight that would permanently remain in his memories.

"I'm sorry for that Hisoka, but…"

"But you think it is a calling for me , right?"

Tatsumi gave a quick nod of the head. "Yes, and since it is Muraki you are more than likely dealing with…. Enma-Daioh sees fit that you both go. Personally, I see it as a sick thing to do and if I could I would entrust this mission upon myself. Nonetheless, he has decided to give me a mission of my own, but I refuse to not help with this. Watari, too , has stated he will be helping you along."

" This isn't right… why is he doing this to us? To Hisoka? Did he even see those pictures? Does he know what he's putting us up against?" Tsuzuki chimed in, knuckles white as his hands remain in a tight fist.

"I know Tsuzuki, I know. I'm not sure what he is trying to do, but rest assured I will find a way to get you away from this unscathed."

"……when do we leave?" Hisoka asked quietly as he put the photos face down back into the folder.

"As soon as you can…"

Hisoka quietly got up and headed for the door. Tsuzuki got up after him and headed to the now empty doorway. "Tatsumi, you better tell Enma-Daioh, should anything happen to Hisoka… he better watch his every move." With that he followed quickly after Hisoka.

A sigh was heard from Tatsumi and Watari made his way over and sat his hand against his shoulder. "It's not your fault you know."

"Somehow, I feel like it is…."

Warm arms wrapped around the tense shoulders of the brunette, and he let his head fall back upon those shoulders that helped ease the guilt.

Tsuzuki softly made his way into Hisoka's bedroom where he found the teen looking through his drawers for things he would need for this trip. He sat down next to the duffel bag that had Hisoka's laptop and a few clothes already packed. Purple eyes looked at the tense figure ahead of them that stopped moving and seemed like it decided to travel to an unseen world.

" 'Soka?" He crept off the bed and towards the figure that just stood there. " You can talk to me you know…." Arms encircled the small waist in front of them.

"T-tsuzuki…I…" Broken words escaped the chapped lips.

"I'm here for you 'Soka…..never forget that. I'll be here, and I'll protect you from Muraki. I won't let him touch you, not while I'm here."

Cold hands grasped at the warm ones that were wrapping him in its shelter. 'But what if you can't Tsuzuki? What if he gets you too? I don't want that to happen.'

A pale , silver haired man all dressed in white followed the trails of darkness throughout the streets of Kyoto. The white caught the moonlight with a mysterious gleam that attracted a young woman towards the magnificent angel. Blonde hair swept throughout the night as screams could be heard in the distance, causing the flock of birds to fly throughout the now red moon. A silver gleam came across the angel's lips as red now covered the delectable lips that formed a smirk. Pure white stepped over the now devastated body of the blonde woman and skin was ripped where angel's wings would appear.

"Don't worry my dear, you played a rather important role in this delightful game of mine." An evil laugh escaped his lips and he glanced at the cherry blossoms that flew around his body. "Soon my puppet, very soon you will be mine, body and soul."
