It was late, past midnight when they left the house again. Liz shivered slightly in her flimsy jacket. The sky was littered with millions of stars accompanied by a large full red moon. Being out in the chill air oddly heightened Lizs' senses. She was ready for anything. Calmly she took a deep breath and concentrated on one vein of energy in the air, Hisoka, she had to find him.
"This way," Liz said opening her eyes and leading them down the street towards the edge of the city.
Meanwhile…
Hisoka knew that nothing good was going to happen when he awakened bound tightly to a strange object, but standing upright, in a place that he'd never seen before. He assumed that it was an old aircraft hangar. Many of them dotted the edge of the city. Now he wondered how he'd gotten here. He remembered the vicious fight they had with Hano, but he'd passed out in the middle of it. Had the werewolf had the guts to kidnap him? He doubted it. The man-wolf had seemed hypnotized when they fought. He was being controlled by someone else and he had a sneaking suspicion who.
"Awake yet?" Murakis' voice hit Hisokas' ears jarring the boy out of his thoughts. He looked up at his murderer startled and still a little dazed.
"What do you want with me?" Hisoka asked.
"Well, that sister of yours is so fine. Pity I didn't get her name," Muraki grinned "I'd like to play with her again,"
"Leave her alone!" Hisoka yelled defiantly.
"Of course if I somehow manage to acquire Tsuzuki out of this, all the better," Muraki added knowing just how to push the kids buttons. Hisoka fumed. God, how he hated this man, "You'll just have to do for now," He grinned and kissed him. Hisoka moaned as Murakis' tongue explored his mouth. He tried to resist, but found his attempts to do so in vain.
"What are you doing?" Hisoka asked fearfully as Muraki untied him just enough to remove him from the object that he was tied to.
"You'll see," Muraki replied with a grin as he laid Hisoka on the floor and stripped him. Hisoka felt his curse marks spring to life as Muraki touched his most private places. He screamed in pain.
Back to the others…
"We're almost there," Liz said as they came to the edge of the city. The aircraft hangars became apparent and they could hear screaming. They all started running towards the sound as soon as they heard the screams. Tsuzuki got there first and found Muraki on top of Hisoka in mid rape.
"Well, well, Mr. Tsuzuki come to join us?" Muraki asked standing with a particularly evil grin on his face. Liz ran in a minute later.
"O my," She gasped seeing Murakis' naked form again "Hisoka!" she went over to him and began to untie him.
"Now what?" Muraki asked teasingly "Is it just the three of you?"
"Of course not," Tatsumi stepped out from behind Tsuzuki "Who would've guessed we'd meet again. I suggest you clothe yourself, doctor,"
Liz and a now redressed Hisoka joined them by the door. They started to leave.
"Do you really think that I'll let you leave?" Muraki said sourly. The doors slammed shut with a flick of his wrist. He was dressed again before they turned around.
"What do you want?" Tsuzuki asked secretly fearing the answer.
"You know what I want, Mr. Tsuzuki," Muraki responded. Suddenly a shrill beeping noise erupted from somewhere on Muraki. He instaneously looked his wristwatch and frowned "Looks like we'll have to save the fun for another time I have an appointment I twenty minutes and I'm not known to be late," He informed them and the doors flung open again "Don't think this is the end. I'll have you both one way or another," He walked off into the city.
"Well, that was a crazy night," Tsuzuki sighed.
"Are you guys alright?" Watari said as they left the hangar.
"Yeah we're fine," Liz said "I guess being a doctor gets in the way of his other endeavors thank goodness," she laughed a little "Hisoka, are you okay?" she asked turning to him.
"Yeah, I'm ok," Hisoka replied. Liz hugged him.
'I know you're not,' Liz thought to him 'But I'm here. Don't worry, I won't leave you, ever,' she assured him.
'Thank you,' He hugged her back. The sky was beginning to lighten as they returned home. They were safe for now, but for how long? The werewolf, Hano was still out there and so was Muraki. This case was becoming very complicated.
"There've been two more murders," Watari said from his computer. They were all hanging out rather sleepily in the kitchen. It was mid-afternoon and none of them had gone to bed yet.
"Where and when?" Liz yawned.
"Early this morning while we were dealing with Muraki. They took place and were found in the city," Watari replied.
"Are they the same as the others?" Hisoka asked.
"Yes," Watari nodded "But that would mean that Hano acted on his own," He added.
"Which counteracts our suspicions that Muraki is controlling him," Tatsumi said matter-of-factly.
"Who were the victims?" Tsuzuki asked curiously.
"A boy and a girl, their names haven't been disclosed yet," Watari replied with a yawn.
"This is so strange," Liz pondered.
"We should go to bed," Hisoka said standing "We can't do anything if we're half asleep," Liz stood as well.
"See you in the morning," Liz said as they all made their way to bed "Then maybe we'll be able to figure this out," she added. They were all asleep within minutes of crawling into bed.
