I'd like to thank laustic and the last unicorn for all of there reviews! I'm so glad that you like the story. Here's the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami No Matsuei or Linkin Park no matter how much I wish I did...
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static, and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
So even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back
With You- By Linkin Park
-Chapter 6-
Three days later…
"Achoo!"
"Are you alright Hisoka?"
"I'm fine, it's just a sneeze." CoughCough
"You are not fine."
"Yes I am." Cough
"No you are not."
"Yes I am. Tsuzuki put me down!"
"No, you need to lie down and get some rest. You're sick and I'm going to take care of you." Tsuzuki said happily.
"I can take care of myself." Hisoka said trying to free himself from Tsuzuki's hold.
"Soka'…" Tsuzuki whined. "You're sick and I want to take care of you."
"Baka. I can handle it myself. I have been for years before you showed up." Cough
"But that's why I want to help you… People need to be taken care of when they're sick. I know I like it." Tsuzuki said putting Hisoka down on his "bed". He then leaned over and pressed his hand to Hisoka's forehead, trying to see if the boy had a temperature.
"I don't need to be babied Tsuzuki." Hisoka said, pushing Tsuzuki's hand away.
"It's not babying… I just want to help take care of you until you feel better. That's all."
Hisoka was torn. He had never had anyone actually wanted to care for him. It just didn't feel right, but this was Tsuzuki… Over the past few days Hisoka had experienced many new feelings when it came to Tsuzuki. The man wouldn't give up, no matter how much he would try to push him away. In reality Tsuzuki had somehow managed to become a part of Hisoka's life, although Hisoka would never say that out loud.
"Hisoka…"
Hisoka couldn't believe that someone would actually want to care about him, would be willing to of their own free will.
"Hisoka…"
It just seemed impossible, and that's why he was going to keep Tsuzuki away. He wasn't sure how he would be able to handle it if the angel betrayed him. Not to mention that he's only going to be with him for less than a month now.
"Hisoka!"
Hisoka was brought out of his thoughts. "What were you saying?" he asked.
Tsuzuki sighed. "I was saying that I'm going to go and try to find you some medicine. You have a fever so you need to stay here and keep warm. Alright?"
Hisoka nodded.
"Good, I'll be back soon. Why don't you take a rest until I get back? I bet it'll make you feel better." Tsuzuki said.
"Fine." Cough Hisoka grumbled, still but laid down as he was told.
"I'll be back soon." Tsuzuki said about to leave. Right before he did he leaned down and gave Hisoka a kiss on his forehead before teleporting out.
"Tsu…!" was all Hisoka got out, before he realized that Tsuzuki was no longer there. Hisoka was left blushing. "Baka."
-Tsuzuki at the store-
'I can't believe I did that. Hisoka is going to kill me now. Aww, but I wish I could have seen him blush, it would have been so cute! Now, What would help Hisoka feel better?' Tsuzuki thought as he scanned the store looking for some kind of medicine. To be honest Tsuzuki had no idea what would help the boy. He had never taken care of someone when they were sick before.
"Can I help you?" a voice asked.
"Actually that would be great." Tsuzuki said, turning around to face the person. He stopped when he saw a man in white. His hair was platinum-blonde and he was about the same size as Tsuzuki. He had a silverish eye, but the other one was covered by his hair. There was something about him that Tsuzuki didn't like.
"Am I wrong to assume that you don't work here?" Tsuzuki said.
The man let out a small chuckle. "That is correct. I'm a doctor. I'm here because I was called by a patient of mine. He wanted me to come out here to have a look at him. My name is Kazutaka Muraki." Muraki said.
"I'm Asato Tsuzuki." Tsuzuki said a bit hesitantly.
"And how can I help you Mr. Tsuzuki?" Muraki asked, flashing one of his award winning smiles.
"A friend of mine is ill. He was a fever and is coughing a lot. I wasn't sure what I should give him." Tsuzuki replied.
Muraki looked at the shelf for a moment before he picked up one of the boxes. "Here, this should work. Give him one every four hours and his condition should improve. If that doesn't happen you should take him to see a doctor."
"Thank you." Tsuzuki said, taking the box and starting to walk away.
"You are very welcome. I hope to see you again." Muraki said as Tsuzuki left.
Tsuzuki didn't reply. He didn't want to see that man ever again. It normally takes a lot for Tsuzuki to not like someone but there was something about that doctor that Tsuzuki didn't like. He quickly paid for the medicine and teleported back to Hisoka.
-Hisoka's cellar-
"Hisoka I'm back." Tsuzuki said as he reappeared in the cellar. He caught himself as he saw Hisoka fast asleep. Tsuzuki smiled to himself as he walked over and sat down next to the sleeping boy.
Hisoka stirred in his sleep, as if sensing Tsuzuki's presence.
"Hisoka you need to wake up so that you can take your medicine." Tsuzuki said softly, trying to wake the boy up.
Hisoka tiredly opened one eye and then the other. It took him a moment to register that someone was there. "Tsuzuki…" he managed to get out followed by a cough.
"I'm back. You need to sit up so and take this medicine." Tsuzuki said.
Hisoka tried to push himself up with little success. Tsuzuki hooked one of his arms around Hisoka's shoulders and helped the boy into a sitting position. Hisoka's skin was so warm, but he was shaking uncontrollably. Tsuzuki was becoming very worried.
Tsuzuki brought up the liquid medicine and held it to Hisoka's mouth. The stuff smelled horrible and Hisoka turned his head away.
"Come on Hisoka, you need to take this so that you can feel better."
"It smells." Cough
"I know it does, but you really need to take this. Please Hisoka. Please…"
"Fine. Just be quick." Hisoka said as he turned his head back.
Tsuzuki brought the cup up to Hisoka once again, and this time the boy drank all of the nasty green liquid. Hisoka felt like he was going to puke from the taste, but probably was too tired to do so.
Tsuzuki laid Hisoka back down and covered him up with a blanket, but he wouldn't stop shivering. That's when Tsuzuki got an idea.
Tsuzuki laid himself down next to Hisoka. Hisoka was so tired that he didn't even notice, until he felt arms around him.
"Tsuzuki… what…?"
Tsuzuki smiled and replied "You're shaking and we're out of blankets so I thought that this would help."
"Baka." Hisoka whimpered out. Even though the boy was sick and had a fever, he still managed a small glare.
Tsuzuki could only smile and pulled Hisoka closer to him After a moment he noticed that Hisoka's shaking had subsided a little but he still seemed cold. Tsuzuki thought for a moment about what he could do to help.
After a minute he came to a conclusion. He carefully willed his wings to appear. He carefully lifted Hisoka up so that he could lie on his one wing, while covering them with the other.
Hisoka was so out of it that at first he didn't notice, until he finally felt warm, that's when he opened his eyes. "Tsuzuki?"
"What is it Hisoka?"
"Doesn't it hurt your wing for me to lie on it." Hisoka mumbled, still very out of it.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. You just get some rest, I'll be right here." Tsuzuki said, tightening his hold once again.
Hisoka was too tired to fight and quickly fell asleep.
Tsuzuki gazed down at the young boy in his arms and smiled. He didn't like it that the boy was sick, but he was thrilled that Hisoka let him hold him.
'I lucked out with that one.' he thought. Yes, things had been interesting being with Hisoka. Yet, he constantly thought of the future, still trying to figure out if there's anything that he could do to stop it from happening. He had yet to come up with anything and time was running out.
'I'll think of something. I have to. Hisoka's depending on me, even if he doesn't know it. Yet, I still wonder what would happen if he knew... Of course that's not allowed, but what if it happened to slip out... Better stop that train of thought... Anyway, I still have time.'
His thoughts were interupted as Hisoka snuggled closer to Tsuzuki.
'Yes, I still have time...'
