­Well, I guess I didn't need to be nervous even though it is my first YnM story. Well, guess I should just get on with it.

1st. Task

(Part two)

"Oh man …" Tsuzuki said.

"What are you oh manning about?" Hisoka asked. The two were walking down one of the side streets in ­Hiroshima. "I thought you were the one that said you wouldn't want anyone else to die.

"I did I mean I do but finding two kids just by a picture will not be easy." Tsuzuki said. Just then two kids ran past them.

"Oh sorry." The second kid said as he ran into Tsuzuki by accident.

"Come on Awai!" The other boy said. "We're going to be late for school!" The boy said.

"Hai Suki!" Awai said and he ran onward. Tsuzuki and Hisoka looked at each other and then followed them. It appeared that the brothers went to a school called ­Hakushima Elementary School. However, the brothers were not in the same class. So they were not together in school except for when it came to lunch and Gym. They both had the same lunch and Gym times.

Awai was in Basic English, Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Art classes while his brother Suki was in the advanced versions of the classes. This would be a small problem because the brothers were not in the same classes except for Gym.

"This can be a problem." Tsuzuki said.

"Not really." Hisoka said. "We'll just have to split up is all." Hisoka added. "You can follow Awai and I'll follow Suki." He said and before Tsuzuki could protest or say a word Hisoka already started heading down the hall.

"Umm … okay …" Tsuzuki said.

It wasn't before long that upon watching the brothers that Hisoka and Tsuzuki noticed that while they looked a like their personalities were completely different. Awai spent as much time talking and just a little less time in his work. Suki He didn't talk until he had completely finished his work.

After school Hisoka and Tsuzuki were walking just half a block behind the two brothers. "Man I was amazed that Awai even got his work done being as he talked through half of each class." Tsuzuki said. "But at least they will be going straight home." Tsuzuki said.

However they didn't go straight home. The two brothers went to an old empty sand lot and started playing some kickball with other kids. After that the brothers went to the comic store and made an attempt to read one of the comics before getting caught by the store manager, and after that the boys went to the park and played some basketball at least until the sun was setting.

It was only when the lights had gone out in the house that Tsuzuki and Hisoka were able to find a house that was close by. "Guess we are lucky to find a house for rent across the street from their house right Hisoka?" Tsuzuki asked. Hisoka was looking out the window. He really wasn't looking at anything in particular just looking out the window, his mind lost in thought.

"I know what you are thinking." Tsuzuki said as he walked over to Hisoka. "We don't know if it is Muraki yet." Tsuzuki said. "So we can't exactly say if he is apart of this or not." He added.

"Hai … " Was all that Hisoka said.

"Well, come on let's go eat and then go to bed. Tsuzuki said.

The darkness was never ending, it made the one that was making the footsteps feel as if they were trapped. The person's heart beat faster and faster. The person tried to call out but no sound came forth.

"Hisoka! Wake up!" Tsuzuki said as he was shaking Hisoka on the shoulder.

Hisoka bolted up right in his bed. It took him a few minutes to know that the pink peeling wallpaper and the old worn bed was what would now be his bedroom until this task was over. "Hey! What is it?" Hisoka asked.

"Just come look quickly." Tsuzuki said. "Something strange went on at those two kids' house." He added. This actually got Hisoka out of bed a lot quicker. They went to the downstairs' living room window and looked out.

All seemed normal there. "Everything looks fine." Hisoka said. "What did you see happen?" Hisoka asked as he looked away from the window to look at Tsuzuki.

"That …" Tsuzuki pointed out the window. Hisoka looked and to his surprise all the lights in that house came on at the same time, flickered, and then they were out again. But what really got them moving to go inspect was during the time the light's flickered a strange shadow went over the house, stopped right when it was on top of the house, and vanished.

Hisoka and Tsuzuki were searching around the foundation of the house. They were trying to keep quiet so not to wake the neighbors. That was hard being as the back yard had so much junk in it.

"May I help you?" A young female's voice said. Hisoka and Tsuzuki both jumped although Hisoka hid the fact that he was surprised a lot better then Tsuzuki did. Tsuzuki had leapt halfway across the yard because he was caught by surprise.

The woman invited them inside for tea. "Oh so you two are new to the neighborhood then?" She asked. The woman had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a night dress that was made of pink silk and had on pink slippers.

"Yes we are." Tsuzuki said. "And we were only searching in your backyard because …" Tsuzuki had to think up something quick.

"We lost our cat and thought we saw him go into your yard." Hisoka said in a calm voice as he sipped some tea.

"I see …" That is so sad really and do you think it is safe for you to add that much sugar Mr. …?" The woman asked as she saw Tsuzuki was still adding spoons full of sugar to his tea.

"It's Tsuzuki and yes, I have a very sweet tooth so I tend to like a lot of sugar." Tsuzuki said.

"I see." The woman said. "And who is the young man with you?" She asked.

"Hisoka." Hisoka said.

"Yes he is … my son. Hisoka is my son." Tsuzuki said and this made Hisoka choke on some of his tea. "Are you okay there son?" Tsuzuki asked as he looked at Hisoka who was still coughing.

"I'm fine … father." Hisoka said.

"Oh your son." The woman said. But you look so young." She added.

"Hey momma …" Came a child's voice. One of the twins came walking into the kitchen.

What is it Awai?" The woman asked as her son crawled into her lap. "You still don't feel well?" She asked. Awai shook his head. "Okay come on. I'll get you back to bed and then call the doctor." She said as she stood up and was cradling her son in her arms. She looked at Hisoka and Tsuzuki. "Would you mind showing yourselves out please? I would but being a single mother comes first." She said.

Hisoka and Tsuzuki let themselves out. "We need to report what we saw. I'll go and do it. You just keep an eye on them." Hisoka said and he vanished leaving Tsuzuki to walk across the street by himself. However someone from the upstairs window was watching him and only closed the curtain when Tsuzuki was inside.
