"Well, where am I going to stay?" Liz asked as they sat in the office back in Japan.
"That's a good question since you obviously can't stay here at the office," Tatsumi replied.
"She can stay with me," Hisoka said after a moment of silence "We are related so its not inappropriate," He added.
"That's a good idea," Tsuzuki said "Seeing as her staying with any
of the rest of us would be a little awkward,"
"She can stay, but only for a week," Chief Konoe said "She's still living and doesn't belong here," He added.
"A week and then what?" Hisoka asked "Muraki is still going to go after her,"
"Yes, I know. So after that the four of you will go and live with her in the living world," Konoe responded.
"What?" They all cried in unison.
"Tatsumi, you'll need to find a decent place for the five of you to live starting a week from now," Konoe reminded him closing the matter officially. He left the office a moment later.
"Well, I guess we'll have to make this work," Tsuzuki sighed.
"You'll need to take care of each other," Watari said to Liz and Hisoka "You're both facing the same foe,"
"C'mon we'll go get you settled for the week," Hisoka said to Liz.
"Ok," She replied with a nervous smile and then headed to his place for the night.
"This is it," He said leading her into the small house "The bathroom is on your left down the hall and the kitchen is on the right," He instructed. He lead her upstairs "There's only one bedroom and…one bed," He blushed and so did she.
"I don't mind," Liz said after a moment of silence "We are supposedly brother and sister, right?"
"Right," Hisoka sighed in relief.
"I'm…still a virgin anyway," Liz admitted with a faint blush.
"You better get changed. Its late and we should go to bed," Hisoka said as he descended the stairs leaving her alone in the bedroom "I'll knock before I come back in," He called.
Liz hastily changed her clothes. She was still certain that this was a dream of some kind and she would soon wake up. She couldn't possibly have a twin brother, even though they did look very similar, and her parents certainly would've said something if she'd been adopted.
A knock came to the door. "Come in," She said. Hisoka re entered the room also in his pajamas. The sky outside the window had long been dark.
"So, how was your life?" Hisoka asked sitting down on the bed.
"It was ok," Liz replied not wanting to talk about it.
"You were teased in elementary school," Hisoka said softly. Liz looked surprised.
"You were raped at thirteen and died two years ago from a curse," Liz spoke the words without thinking. They stared at each other for a moment.
"Maybe we really are…" Hisoka started.
"Twins," Liz finished his sentence still bewildered.
'Try again," Hisoka said "Who killed me?" He asked testing how much she could feel him.
"Muraki did," Liz replied easily "I sense your overwhelming hate for him," She added. Hisokas eyes widened in disbelief. He'd spent his entire life being the one that could read people and feel their emotions and suddenly this girl, his twin sister, appeared in his life and could read him.
They sat up for a little while longer testing the bonds that were somehow there even though they'd never met before now.
The morning sun found them curled up together on the bed. Liz was the first to awaken. She slid slowly out of Hisokas arms and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. After she'd eaten and changed there was a knock on the door. Hisoka was in the bathroom so she answered it. Tsuzuki stood there I the bright morning sun.
"Good morning," He smiled.
"O uh Tsuzuki, come in," she let him into the house and they took a seat on the sofa.
"So how was your first night here?" he asked casually.
"It was alright," Liz replied "We talked mostly. Perhaps we are…related," she sighed.
A week later…
Tatsumi had found a decent house for them to stay in while in the living world. There were three bedrooms, but it was clean and had two bathrooms, a living room, and a large kitchen.
"Wow, this place is so nice," Liz said when she entered.
"Of course you'll be sharing a room with Hisoka," Tatsumi said. Liz smiled and walked into the kitchen.
"You'll have to be careful not to go out alone," Tsuzuki warned "Muraki is out there still and its better to not be alone. Especially not at night,"
"Of course," Liz nodded "I'll try to always have someone with me when I go out, but for now I'd like to get back to that book I was reading," She went to the living room, found her book and sat down to read beside Hisoka.
A few hours later
"I've finished," Liz stood and stretched. She then went out to the kitchen for a light snack and found Tsuzuki there. She smiled and helped herself to a cookie.
"So, you two really get along," Tsuzuki said after a moment.
"Yeah," Liz said sitting down opposite him, his eyes entranced her, "I'm starting to believe that we are twins," she said softly.
"Yeah well that's what your DNA says at least," Watari joined them in the kitchen, "See?" He showed her the DNA analysis. They were most definitely twins.
"I'm going to take a walk," Liz said getting up "So much has happened this week. I need to sort it all out," She left the kitchen. They stared after her.
Liz left the house and walked down to the park near the house and sat on the grass. The sun was still a few hours from setting and she needed to think.
"I have a twin brother," she reminded herself softly as the wind blew her hair "I'm living with three really hot guys whom I'm not related too and I have a madman after me," she pulled her knees into her chest "Never mind that he's a pretty hot madman," she chuckled "What am I going to do?" She sighed. 'My friends; Sango, Tine-chan, Vikari, Nina, I miss you,' she thought to herself as tears began to slid down her face. She cried into her knees and didn't realize how dark it'd gotten.
"Why are you crying, my dear?" a familiar voice said from behind her causing her heart to nearly stop. She turned to him surprised.
"Muraki," she said under her breath…'Oh shit,' she thought to herself as he picked her up off the ground despite her struggling, "Let me go," she demanded
"O I couldn't do that," Muraki grinned in the moonlight "Not after I've found you, again," she began to feel a little woozy as he took her deeper into the park…'Hisoka' she thought desperately 'please find me'….
