Author's note: DemonKitty69 is back with the last chapter of Akihabara Case, for anyone who waited for it… If there are people like that then cake to all! I never liked writing endings… Is this okay? Is anyone OOC? I really want to know what you think…
I sent Watari back into the story, so today's last disclaimer will be done by me…
Yami no Matsuei is not mine! It belongs to Matsushita-sensei, and a huge thanks to her for creating it!
Chapter 4
Watari POV
I'm surprised! I am amazed! I'm happy! My potion worked. Although at first I thought might have mistook someone for Hisoka. But ... No! This is the boh! And he is a girl! Yes, I am a genius! A Tatsumi says that I'm blond ...
I found out about Masara Kyoko and decided to find out what's going on here. I realized that there might be the same person as the one behind the murderers in Kyoto. But I did not expect this!
«What will you order?» - Hisoka asked.
«Tea and cake with cream ... Oh, and chocolate cake!»
«Wait a minute. Oh! Yes... You will explain to me, what to do to become normal, right? Won't get away without doing that! And the main question: What are you doing here?»
«All grievances, Bon?»
He went to the kitchen, and I noticed Tsuzuki. Hell yeah! They both have some ears! This is so priceless! I wish that Tatsumi and the chief could see this ...
Tsuzuki was one of the tables and show something like foci. He was folding paper cranes out of fudas and using his powers to make them into real birds. For the customers it was just a trick, and Tsu looked very pleased with what he was doing. His bright amethyst eyes were just sparkling with a mixture of pride and happiness.
Hisoka returned from the kitchen, with an order for the table next to me. He was very unlike himself. Smiling, he put the tray on the table, and gave the couple sitting there their desserts. After that, he looked at his partners back, frowned and when Tsuzuki didn't pay him any attention, turned to walk up to him. They whispered for a moment and Tsu, smiling, straightened his partner's cat ears. Noticing me, he waved. I grinned at him, returning the gesture.
Tsuzuki POV
Masaru-san gave me a cake! She said that I was working perfectly! And Hisoka seemed very amused by that. Well, or maybe he was absorbing all the emotions in the cafe, then, it's bad, he'll get cranky by the end of the shift. He has amazingly strong barriers now! He should be okay. Other people's emotions don't affect him as much as they used to... I hope. He doesn't talk about it much.
«Tsu?»
«What is it?»
«What is Watari-san doing here?»
«And I didn't notice him ...»
«Well, you give! Baka!»
I sat down at one of the free tables and beckoned Hisoka to come over:
«How are you? After yesterday?»
«Normal ... And do you really have to eat now, while you are supposed to be working?»
«Nee... It was Masara ... Kyoko-chan who gave it to ...»
«It's troubling me for some reason ...»
Suddenly, I got a sharp pain in my stomach and I'm galloped to the nearest bathroom. I feel sick for the first time in my life after eating cake ... What a shame. Wait a minute! That is just the thing! I have an iron stomach! Something is definitely wrong here ... But one thing is clear - I was poisoned ... Exactly!
«Hisoka!»
«What is it? Are you out of paper? I'm a waitress, cleaning is not my job!»
«No ... Wait a second? No! It's not that! The cake was poisoned!»
«Are you kidding?»
«I'm afraid not ... I feeeeeell soooo sick...»
Hisoka POV
Tsuzui poisoned himself on something? Or did someone poison him? I had to think about it. I stood in the middle of the isle of tables, with the tip of my thumb nail between my teeth:
«Miss, don't frown so much, or wrinkles will appear,» - a guy my age, probably a little older smiled at me...
«Don't flirt with me, I have a boyfriend!»
«Seriously? But if he's not here ...» – Why am I being molested for the second time this week?
Then I saw that Tsuzuki came back, and walked toward me. The guy grabbed my arm. Damn. I have to do it ...
«Tsu-kun!» - I cried, and broke free from the stranger, running to my partner. I mentally begged him to play along. Tsu nodded in a way that only I would notice and hugged me tightly on return. I have to be honest with myself, I liked it ... No! What is it with me right now ... Tsuzuki is like a brother to me, which I never had. The guy jaw dropped and he finally left me alone. What a relief. Tsu looked at me and said very seriously:
«The poison was in the cake. We can't allow anyone to eat it!
«But Watari can ...»
«Hisoka? What are you talking about?»
«What? I can get my revenge on him can't I? Just a bit... Because of him, I'm a girl!»
«You're scary ... It's better not to make you angry, that's for sure ...» - Tsuzuki was his favorite character: Inu-Tsu.
«Yes, I am!» - Giving him a sly smile, I went to the table where sat our blonde scientist. Setting down his cake, I wished him to enjoy it and left. I thought that it would bring me pleasure to see how he poisoned himself. But suddenly ...
«Hisoka, I haven't seen Masara-san in quite a while ... I'll go look for her.» - With these words, he ran away. He was worried, I felt it. His emotions are hard to read, but I always get certain vibes that I know are from him... Hmm ... I hope it did not happen ...
«AAAAAAAA!»
Abruptly turning around, I ran to the table. I got to the girl, who screamed and put my hand on her shoulder. She was shocked and didn't even respond. I shook her, but she only pointed to her boyfriend, tears running from her petrified eyes. I ran to the other side of the table and tried to find the pulse of the young man that was lying on facedown. He was not ... He was dead!
«What did he eat?»
«Ch… Ch... Chocolate cake ... What happened to him?»
«He died ... I'm so sorry...»
The girl's let out a cry of despair ... I spoke the truth, I was feeling sorry for her. Damn empathy, my emotions are mixed up with her ... God. I got to get away from her. I must find Tsuzuki! But first I need to make sure that nobody else in the café suffered ... What to say? The place is filled mostly with girls... Got it!
«A hentai is wandering in the café. And he is molesting any girl he can get close to!» -Everyone was blown away! Well, almost ... The fat girl, who Tsu and I bumped into on our first visit, stubbornly remained seated at her table, drinking tea ... «Have you not heard? Hentai!»
«I heard ... I'm just dreaming, of that second when he will lift me into his arms»
«Keep reaming! He'll need a crane to lift you from the ground!»
«That was very rude!»
«If you don't move from here now, then I will say something much worse!»
Tsuzuki POV
I was already in the kitchen when I saw the GuShoShin brothers flew through the window. They looked around and got closer towards me.
«Tsuzuki-san. We conducted our own investigation and found out that not only has girls been disappearing, but also that since the beginning of the week, people began landing themselves into the hospitals with poisoning. And nearly all of them - clients of this particular cafe!»
«On what day did it start?»
«Most likely from Tuesday ... But we are not sure, maybe Monday ...»
«That is the time period when Masaru received her letter from Muraki!»
«Muraki's involved in this?»
«Yes, yesterday ... eem ... he pestered Hisoka ... But it's not important! Maybe ... No, never mind ...»
I scanned the kitchen, the girl was nowhere to be seen ... And I ran to the dressing room, where the maids and hosted changed their clothing. There I found Masara. She was trying to hide something into her purse. I grabbed her arm. She was still holding on to a tiny blue bottle.
«Masaru-san! What is this? Was it you who was poisoning all those innocent people people? Why?» - I continued to hold her slim arm, until I noticed that her eyes were clouded over ... Like Maria ... The poor Maria ... Muraki was up to his tricks again! It seemed that he used some sort of charm on her, one that would help him control her actions. Rage boiled inside me! That bastard!
«Finally guessed, haven't you? I am delighted,» - after those words, I was thrown away from Masara and had smashed hard into a wall. That hurt ... I rubbed the back of my head...
«Itai ...» – My face had screwed up in pain.
«Oh, did you hurt yourself? Let me give you an inspection!»
«Keep your filthy hands off of him, Muraki!»
When I opened my eyes, I saw Hisoka, he stood in the doorway, his gun set on the villain. He looked furious… It was actually scary. Even with all the cuteness that Soka hasn't lost his rage and determination to become stronger. I was proud of him!
«Hisoka! Be carefull!»
«Yeah, I know, you baka! Why didn't you call me! How many times do I have to say that shinigami work in pairs?»
«Soka …»
«You can't shoot me,» - Muraki looked at the small prove himself, my partner shot. It seemed that he was aiming at the doctor, but when he slightly missed, I realized he had calculated that. A trickle of blood ran down Muraki's cheek. Hisoka smirked and lowered his Beretta. But ...
Muraki POV
The little brat! How dare he. I snapped my fingers and the girl, it seems her name was Masara, rushed at him. He tried to restrain her, so as not to cause her harm. Silly boy. She slapped and tried to scratch his face.
«Hisoka!»
«Baka! Don't worry about me! This hentai is on you ...» - The girl kicked him in the leg, and the blond, with a shocked scream, fell to the floor, and continued the struggle.«Masara-san! Enough! You are influenced by Muraki ... But you have to be stronger then the spell!»
«Well, that's wonderful! The girls are busy, and now it is possible that we'll have some fun ...»
«Don't you dare!» - The small shinigami, shouted from under the girl.
«Do not bother me, doll.»
Tsuzuki-san sat by the wall, and I went up to him. He was ready to run away from me, but then for some reason froze on the spot. Even if he wants to run, I will not allow it. He's mine. I brought him to Kyoto ... It was a sign that I was the killer. The place where I "died" was the same place where I was "reborn". I brought him here to Akihabara!
«Tsuzuki! Wake up! What's the matter? Tsuzuki!»
Hisoka POV
What happened to him? He was just fine a while ago… Was he also in a trance? I need to know what happened to him! But I can't get rid of Masaru-san. She's behaving like a wild beast, only without growls. Enough! I. .. I can not to use my weapon, I do not want to hurt her. Have to...
«Watari-san !»
The scientist came running. Seeing that I was lying on the floor, and Masara was sitting on me and trying to scratch and beat me, he chuckled, but then became serious, and ran up to me. He grabbed the girl's waist and pulled her of me. This gave me the opportunity to jump from the floor and run to my partner. I couldn't even believe that Muraki was giving me this chance ...
«Tsu? Tsuzuki? Asato? Wake up, please!» - He looked at me. I stopped breathing. In Kyoto, his eyes were the same. What happened? I grabbed his hand and lowered my mental barriers. Pain. Fear. Despair. All of this came from Tsuzuki … I glanced over my shoulder Muraki was coming closer and closer. – «Tsuzuki, please...»
«Hisoka ...»
«Yes! I'm here!» I clenched his hand even harder.
«I can't fight him,» - he clung to me like a child. No he looked more like a beaten dog.
«Naturally ... After what happened to Kyoto?»
«Yes ... I'm angry at him, but I for some reason I just can't fight him ... And you ...»
«I'm still not used to, but I should start using it sooner or later ...»
I stood in front of Tsuzuki, and turned to the doctor.
«What is it boy? Hope to shoot me again? I don't think so!» - Before I could blink an eye, close to Muraki appeared a bright red dragon. This one I haven't seen before ...
«I'm not as simple as I seem! You're not touching Tsuzuki! Ever! You caused him enough pain...» - I must not show Muraki any weakness! Not him! I raised my gun up and shot into the air, my way to call my Shiki – Kirikara-sama!
A strong wind blew around us, ruffling our hair and shattering the windows of the cafe. Two dragons came together in battle. I have to say it was a sight to see ... I have only one shikigami, but it was incredibly hard to control it. I'm his master, but sometimes it's debatable. If I lose control ... then ... I do not even want to think about what might happen to me ...
- Boy, if you lose control, then your body ...
- I know Kirikara-sama ... But Tsuzuki ...
- You are a fool ...
- No! I just won't abandon a friend who needs me the most!
My hands were shaking ... This is bad! Kirikara is still too strong and I called him for too long... I gave Tsuzuki a sideway's glance and saw him rising. He realized what was happening with me. He will fight?
Tsuzuki POV
«Hisoka! Why did you call him? You're not ready!»
He looked at me, and after a moment, dropped to his knees and coughed ... When he removed his hand from his mouth, I saw blood. It's all because of the Shikigami call, too much stress for him! And Kirikara is too strong.
«Hisoka?» - I could not sit idly by anymore. He had no need to fight, and I ... I should care about my partner, and he suffered because he was trying to protect me. I grabbed him and held close. – «Hisoka ... Don't worry.»
«But Tsu…?»
I looked at Muraki:
« Now you will fight with me!»
«Oh finally! You're angry, Tsuzuki-san. You're beautiful, even in anger!»
«Shut up! How many more innocents will suffer from your hands?»
With the help of my faithful Suzaku, I destroyed his dragon, and was ready to attack Muraki himself as I heard the cry of Hisoka:
«No! We can deliver him to Meyfu ...»
«And let them hold a trial there?»
«Yes ...» -My little partner clutched his head, and stared at the floor. He looked in pain. The only thing I wanted now was to run to his side and never leave.
Muraki watched us, and turned away.
«Fools! You can't keep me imprisoned!»
«Muraki ...» - Hisoka tried to rise but fell back to the ground exhausted, now holding his/her hands over her eyes, to block out the light, to calm the headache. I looked at my friends who were next to me. Watari continued to tightly hold Masaru-san. Hisoka, I can't make him fight. GuShoShin? I sighed ... I'm the only one against Dr. Sadistic! Well, I sure am unlucky!
«The situation is perfect! Maybe this time I will finally remove this tiny obstacle that separates you and me, Tsuzuki-san. In this state, he is helpless!»
«Tsuzuki, he has a gun!» - And true! He was holding the Beretta that Hisoka never let go. But after Kirikary, he dropped must have dropped it ...
«Do not you dare!»
Muraki shot at my partner, and disappeared, throwing Hisoka's gun to my feet. He actually wounded the now girl. Her chest was now blossoming bright red from the blood. I ran to him and picked the slim form, holding my precious partner as close as possible. Soka is a shinigami, he'll be alright, but I was terrified at how shallow his breathing was…
«Hisoka!»
Hisoka POV
When I opened my eyes I saw a bright white light ... Am I dead? The light hurt, and caused me to cover my face with my hand. What happened? After the shot, I do not remember anything ... When my eyes became accustomed to the light, and I realized that I was lying in bed. Outside the window were blooming sakura trees ... So I'm in Meifu ... That calmed me a bit...
«Bon, you're awake? Do you have any idea how much you scared us all!»
«Watari-san? I'm alive?»
«Given that you shinigami?»
«Well, you understand what I mean!»
«Yeah ... I don't advise you to raise your voice.»
I nodded my head, when I saw Watari-san pointed at a sleeping next to my bed shape. Tsuzuki? I blushed at the thought that with the light falling on him the way it was… He looked like an angel.
«We couldn't make him go home, while you were sleeping ... He was very worried about you.»
«But what happened?»
«When you're summoned Kirikaru, your body spent too much energy ... Therefore, you were healing very slowly. It sounds strange, but true.»
«The truth can be strange... And as Masara-san? I forgot completely about her...»
«I sent her over to the hospital, she'll be safe there.»
«That's good, but when Muraki is involved, he always throws his toys away when they bore him ... or ...»
«I understand... I'm not blond, you know! Just my hair got bleached when I was alive,» - he turned away from me, looking insulted.
Too loud ... Tsuzuki snorted, and we both abruptly fell silent. I felt that he had not slept for a while and I did not want him to wake up. And anyway, how can he have fallen asleep in a chair?
«And Muraki?»
«Ran after he hurt you.»
«Again ...»
«Don't be so down, boy!»
«I'm not! It's the fact that, he is elusive ... Only it seems, that we caught him, and there he goes, he escapes.»
«Yes ... But not when we all know now that he is alive, and we will work diligently to capture him!»
«Thanks, Watari-san,» - then I saw myself in the mirror, hanging on the opposite wall. I'm still a girl? What the hell? – « Watari-san?»
«I'm working on a potion, it's just… Working! Do not be angry ...» The bespectacled man ran out of the room fearing my fury. And a good thing he did! Why didn't he turn me back right away… Oh he is so dead! Well, even more than usual!
«Hisoka?» - There was the sleepy voice of my partner. I actually did wake him up ... – «How are you feeling?»
«Wonderful!» I slightly smiled to show that I was honest. Lookes like I got used to the whole Smiling deal, while working in the café.
«Yes, Tsuzuki, I examined him, and he can resume working any time,» I heard Watari's voice from behind the door.
«Oh, no! I do not want to!» - The phrase broke out even before I I realized what I said! I was infected with Tsuzuki's idleness... «And anyway, get out of here»
«Soka?» Tsu laughed at my confused and embarrassed face. Glancing at him, I once again realized how glad I was that he was my partner and that he was always by my side.
«Tsu? What am I going to say to Tatsumi-san, when he sees me?»
«Let's think of something together»
Author's note: Okay, here is a little explanation about why I made Hisoka into a girl. Manga, book 1, chapter 2, page 23. There in the author's note Matsushita-sensei wrote that she planned to give Tsuzuki a girl partner, but Hisoka turned into a boy. I think that that's an explanation one of the future arcs*spoiler, so shuts up*. I've been bugged by the idea, like, forever, so I had to write this out… And my best friend(my Tsuzuki) helped me out, to create the story, a huge thanks to her for this!
I left the story hanging, because that way I can write something else if I'm asked =) Love you, my dear readers! Just please, please, please press the REVIEW button to leave at least a couple of words… Give me a chance to write…
