Chapter 11
In the afterlife, there is an institution that judges the sins of the dead. That institution is called the Ministry of Hades. Within the judgment bureau of the ministry is the summons department, whose charge is to retrieve any lost souls still wandering the mortal world. Special retrieval agents of the summons department are also known as Shinigami or Guardians of Death!
Kyoto Arc: Part 1
Konoe looked at the new files presented to him. This usually didn't happen but this was a favor for a friend. After carefully reading the manuscripts he glanced at the two other occupants. He then sighed. He folded his hands and rested his head on them.
"Welcome to JuOhCho, Shokan division," Konoe said.
Before other things could be said the door opened revealing two girls. One had shoulder length hair, and the other had long hair draped over her shoulders in pigtails.
"Ah, Saya, Yuma, just in time. You can show are two new recruits around."
The two girls, Saya and Yuma, squealed in delight before dragging their guests out the door.
Saya, the girl with the hair draped down over her shoulders, quickly gave them a warm welcome.
"My name is Tori Saya! And this is my partner Fukiya Yuma! We're in charge of the ninth area Hokkaido. It's nice to meet you. Call us Saya and Yuma," Saya said shaking the brown haired man's hand.
"Hi Saya, Yuma, my name is Tsuzuki Asato and this is my partner Wong Maria, we just transferred from China. I'm sure we'll be great friends," the brown haired man now we all know as Tsuzuki! Maria just greeted the two.
"Great! Before we show you around we need to see someone first. You don't mind?" Yuma asked ecstatically. She'd been waiting to get back from Hokkaido to greet another new guest that wasn't so new.
"No, not at all, we would like to meet the others," Maria said before they followed the two girls. But Maria surely regretted it when she saw whom they were 'excitingly' going to meet.
"Sensei!" Yuma called out to the man in white. The man in white turned around as he was called. He let out a small evil smile.
"Saya, Yuma, I see you made it back from Hokkaido," Muraki said amused as he realized the two were following Saya and Yuma over to them. He noticed Maria's discomfort and Tsuzuki's grinning face.
"How are you doing Sensei?" Saya asked.
"I'm just fine Saya. So what brings you over?"
"We heard you had a new partner and cute as ever!" Yuma stated excitedly. "We want to see him."
"He should be here any minute now." The door to the office opened. "Ah speak of the devil. Here he is."
Hisoka, the unfortunate victim, just walked in to a group he would surely hate to be in. He finally realized who was there and two people he hasn't seen before. He just groaned in disappointment as he laid eyes on Tsuzuki. He turned around and began to walk back out. Before he could a pair of overzealous excited girls held him back.
"Waiiiiii! He's so cute! Just like the rumors said! His skin is so soft like a baby's and nice face!" Saya stated running her fingers along his arm.
"Oh, his hair is so soft like a cat's fur! He's so cute!" Yuma said running her hands through his hair wondering what kind of shampoo and conditioner he used. "Hey Saya, we should dress him up in a pink house while he's sleeping."
"Yeah great idea Yuma! We could…"
Much to Hisoka's obvious discomfort, he felt amusement coming from the other three occupants. He growled softly in annoyance as he heard the two girls, who haven't introduced themselves yet mention some things he would die again instead of trying them out. After a few more minutes, he sighed in relief as the girls let him go.
"Oops, sorry! We forgot to introduce ourselves! I'm Yuma, and this is Saya, we're from the ninth area Hokkaido! We came to visit you!" Yuma said.
'And that would be good why?' Hisoka thought sarcastically.
"You're Hisoka-kun! Watari-san was right! You're the cutest!" He was then glomped a second time by the two girls. He struggled in their grip.
"Oi, let go!" He said with fruitless attempts.
As the day went on, there seemed to be less bickering between the two rivals coughMurakicoughTsuzukicough. Maria and Hisoka appreciated the cooperativeness since Saya and Yuma were there dragging them across shopping stores. This was one thing Hisoka didn't enjoy as they always tried to put him in a dress! He declined after time until he was pushed by Muraki and Tsuzuki to even try one on. He did it just to get them off his case and satisfy Saya and Yuma's curiosity on how he'd look. But thanks to Muraki's blasted camera, he'd never hear the end of this.
Things were entertaining that day until the faithful hour Saya and Yuma had to depart for Hokkaido…
Muraki and Tsuzuki were in another one of their 'I-have-feelings-for-you-but-you're-not-getting-a-confession-out-of-me' stares. But of course that is how Maria and Hisoka picture it.
"I see the transfer went through, Tsuzuki-san. Did you enjoy my company so much that you had to stay in Japan?" Muraki taunted with the usual suave voice of his, along with a smirk, we can't forget that.
"Actually, Sensei, Xaiolin-kaicho, kept complaining that we spend way too much time out of China, and since he didn't want Maria without a strong partner he had us transferred. But I'm guessing it'll ease your loneliness since you missed me so much," Tsuzuki baited. Muraki just let out a chuckle.
"You seem to have it backwards Tsuzuki-san, I assure you that the feelings aren't mutual."
Before both of them could start another fight, Maria interrupted.
"Hey, fight somewhere else where they can't see you. I heard that the secretary hates damages done to the department. And we'll respect his wishes. And if you two even think of speaking to each other by insults, I assure you I'd look you both in a confined space until you both settle this sexual frustration between you both. Are we clear?" Maria stated sternly.
They both nodded since they didn't want to anger the woman any longer.
"Good. C'mon Tsuzuki-san it's time for us to get back. We have to work early tomorrow and meet the secretary, Tatsumi-san I believe had announced a meeting. We should retire for the night," she said before looking around to say goodbye to Hisoka. He was nowhere to be found. "Have you guys seen Hisoka?" she asked.
"Watari-san called him over for something. He said it was important," Muraki answered. Though it probably only was to try out for some sex changing potion or something Watari wanted to test out.
"Okay, tell him we said bye!" she quickly grabbed Tsuzuki and teleported to Chijou in their apartment they rented.
Muraki waited a while before going to down to Chijou himself. He had to meet an old friend of his.

Hisoka was not a happy shinigami. He was dragged around two all day by two girls who wanted to play dress-up with him. And now this scientist/doctor had the nerve to ask him something as ridiculous as this? He sighed and stared at the concoction uneasily. Watari told him that it would dampen his empathy a little. He looked directly in the blond's eyes and glared.
"I'm not drinking that," Hisoka spat out. Watari sighed in disappointment but smiled at Bon's obvious dislike for this. But this wasn't why he called Bon over from the group. He would usually call over Muraki also but didn't want to involve the doctor. "What do you want to tell me?" Hisoka asked annoyed. He didn't need underhand setups to lure him here, Muraki does enough for a lifetime. Watari smiled.
"You caught me Bon." Watari said before pulling something out from his lab coat. He pulled out a small plastic filled with samples of hair. Hisoka rolled his eyes.
"That's what you needed to show me?"
"Yes, don't you notice something odd about it?"
Hisoka peered closer and noticed the color. It was silvery white. There was only one person he knew that would have that hair color. It wasn't that common. Muraki was up to something again. That was no surprise.
"Muraki's up to something again. What's different about that?" he said. Watari pulled out a newspaper article printed yesterday and handed it over for Hisoka to read. The forever-looking teen read the article.
'…a woman was found dead today with a her hair cut. She was clutching a lock of silvery white hair in her hand. Police believe that it could be the murderer's…'
Hisoka gasped in surprise. Muraki was on what you would call probation. He couldn't do this but evidence supposedly points to him. He was sure Watari already DNA tested the lock of hair. It was Muraki's. This is another underhand setup of his that is use to trap Tsuzuki again! Why did Watari have to drag him into this? He wanted to stay out of the two's disputes. But he knew he'd be dragged into it again. He sighed. It didn't matter.
"Bon, I know this is not surprising to you since he did…murder you," Watari whispered the last two words before continuing. "I want you to be careful. He still could be dangerous, maybe more."
Hisoka glared angrily.
"Don't you think I know that! After all, everyone knew what he did to me and still placed me as his partner! How do you think I feel, knowing that he could kill me again!"
"Bon, I didn't mean anything by it, I just…wanted to warn you…"
"A little late for that don't you think?"
Hisoka glared one last time before he walked out. Watari was lost in thought for a moment before he rushed out to chase Hisoka down and tell him about tomorrow's meeting.

A man sat outside examining the sky. He took a drag of his pipe as the cold air blew his long brown hair to the side. It was a chilly night in Kyoto. But he didn't mind and just watched the night sky and the leaves fall to the ground.
With his sharp senses, he heard his door slide open and close. He sighed. He thought he told everyone that he didn't want to be disturbed. He growled softly in annoyance and turned around to yell at the unfortunate person but he fell mute as he gazed at the intruder. His pipe dropped, forgotten on the ground. The intruder smiled softly.
"Hello, Oriya, long time no see."
