Its now time for my fourth chapter, who ever has read this far must like my story (or is very curious or is one of those kinds of people who don't stop doing something until its done, like reading my story). On to the story.

"Okay, explain again, what you did, slooowwwly," Tatsumi said to Watari, having tried to keep up with Watari's rushed explanation about what had happened.

Watari sighed and was about to start over again, when he heard a pounding on the door. He was glad he had locked the door, and had the only key.

"Watari, open this damn door!" Hisoka yelled through the supply closet door, pounding on it. No answer.

"I know you're in there. I know Tatsumi's in there too, so open the door!"

'Oh, yeah, he's an empath,' Watari should have thought of that.

Tatsumi sighed, "Just open the door, Watari, besides, I have work to take care of."

Silence

"Watari?"

"I lost the key."

"WHAT?" Hisoka yelled, how was he going to help Tsuzuki now, when the only person he knew who could figure out a way to reverse the effects on the Inu-man, was locked in a closet.

"I think I threw it somewhere behind me after I locked the door." The supply closet was big and filled with lots of junk, it hadn't been cleaned out in ages. For all he knew, it had fallen between the cracks in the floor.

The day was definitely not going well for Watari, first, the potion didn't work like it was supposed too, he made Tsuzuki sad, Hisoka mad, and now was locked in a closet with a shadow master, the teenage empath outside the door, and lost the key.

Watari sighed, no use worrying about the little things. His experiment was a failure, which was the main point.

Hisoka thought about breaking down the door, but he couldn't be sure what would happen to the two inside. He couldn't care less about the scientist, but he would get in major trouble if the secretary were hurt. He slumped up against the door.

"Then what are we going to do?" Hisoka asked, he was worried about the look he had seen on Tsuzuki's face.

"I'll try to think of something to get Tsuzuki back to normal, but it would be best not to leave him alone, I don't know what might happen to him." Watari answered, already searching for the key, feeling Tatsumi's icy glare on him.

Tsuzuki had stopped crying, but every now and then, a few tears managed to escape. He heard footsteps approach him, and he tried curling up into a tighter ball.

"Tsuzuki."

It was Hisoka, Tsuzuki whimpered. He couldn't face Hisoka anymore, if the boy hated him.

He felt Hisoka sit down beside him. Neither said a word for a long time. All was quiet except for Tsuzuki's quiet sniffling.

Tsuzuki couldn't stand it any more.

"I'm sorry!" He cried out looking at Hisoka's stunned face.

"Why?" Hisoka asked in confusion, why was Tsuzuki apologizing for something that made the Inu-man sad?

"Because I look like a monster and you hate me now!" Was the reply as Tsuzuki curled himself back into a ball. Hisoka was even more confused.

"Why would I hate you?" Hisoka asked, he didn't think Tsuzuki looked like a monster.

"But-but-," was all Tsuzuki managed to get out before he started crying again.

"Tsuzuki, I don't hate you. I don't know what makes you think that I do." Hisoka said softly, looking at the Sakura petals floating to the ground

"Besides, the inu ears and tail, isn't really all that bad." Hisoka said even softer, Tsuzuki almost didn't catch it.

"You-you really like it?" Tsuzuki asked, eyes wide. His hope rising that Hisoka didn't hate him.

Hisoka responded by turning his face away, but Tsuzuki caught the blush forming on his younger partners' face.

"'Soka!" Tsuzuki threw his arms around Hisoka's neck.

"GET OFF!" Hisoka yelled, his blush deepening, which Tsuzuki saw as well. He only hugged tighter. Hisoka knew Tsuzuki wasn't going to let go, and stopped struggling when he felt immense happiness radiating off of the other, he didn't have to be an empath to feel it.

After a while, Hisoka pushed Tsuzuki off and stood up. Tsuzuki looked disappointed.

"Come on, its getting dark, and I'm tired." Hisoka told him.

"Alright, alright," Tsuzuki pouted.

"Besides, I need to talk to Watari, if he and Tatsumi are out of the closet yet."

A look of surprise crossed Tsuzuki's face, he didn't know that the two were like that.

"It's not that." Hisoka said, "I'll explain later."

"Tsuzuki! Tsuzuki!" Saya and Yuma were calling out, their play-toy had escaped earlier and was no where to be found.

"I know, let's go find Hisoka, he could find Tsuzuki for us, with his empathy!" Saya said to Yuma.

"That's a great idea!" Yuma agreed. The two girls ran off to find the young empath, laughing happily.

"That was so mean, Terazuma-chan!" Wakaba said to Terazuma again as they searched for Tsuzuki.

"I know, I know, I'm very sorry," Terazuma said yet again, though he didn't mean it. Just because he had chucked a little bit, Wakaba had him searching for amethyst-eyed man, which was the last thing he wanted to do that day. He had other things to do, like work for instance, but Wakaba wasn't going to let him until they had found Tsuzuki.

As they were searching the cafeteria, Terazuma looked out the window, and saw Hisoka walking past, with a happy Tsuzuki behind him, who's tail was swishing back in forth. Wakaba came up beside Terazuma to see what he was looking at, and saw the two walking past the building.

"Well, then, that's that, I suppose," she said, a bright smile on her face, looking up at her partner.

So, did you like my fourth chapter. It took me a little longer to write this chapter that it did others. The length had nothing to do with it. I couldn't think of anything, but I like how it ended up. Well now, I'll be writing chapter 5 XD. Please R and R.
