Rolls around on the floor laughing. Poor Jacob. Well, that is what he gets right? Anyways I hope some of you got what Hisoka had just thought of. For those that didn't must have the punishment of eating Ramen Noodles through his/her nose.

Lol, on with the next chapter.

The 7th. Task

(Part Four)

They started their walk to wherever Hisoka was taking them. Jacob had a little more difficulty walking and needed Hisoka to help him walk. "I think my ankles are swelling." Jacob said as each step made him wince for both feet. Jacob sounded like he was talking through his nose. Jacob's nose was so bad that each time he spoke his nose would gush out more blood over the already dry blood on his face. Not to mention his swollen cheeks made him look like he was a human Chipmunk.

"Yes well, you were the one that kept going in there you Chipmunk." Hisoka said. "But guess I should say thank you for your stupidity." Hisoka added. "After all, if you wouldn't have been so stubborn I would have never seen that poster for the Samurai competition." Hisoka added.

"You're welcome … I think." Jacob said. The two continued on in silence for a bit more and Jacob was holding one of the cold press packs on his left shoulder with his left hand. Finally after a minute or two passed Jacob spoke. "Hey? I was wondering something. How did you become a Shinigami?" Jacob asked.

Hisoka knew that this question was going to surface again and he was ready. "To find out who murdered me." Hisoka said. He said this so bluntly that when Jacob gasped his nose started to bleed again only this time some of the blood went down the back of his throat and caused him to cough some.

"Did … you … find out … who did it?" Jacob asked between coughs as he wiped his bloody nose on the front of his already blood soaked shirt. Hisoka gave a nod. "May I ask who?" Jacob asked.

"It was Muraki." Hisoka said. This surprised Jacob even more. "I should say your father killed me." Hisoka said.

Jacob looked down as they walked. Suddenly Jacob stopped and Hisoka was forced to stop as well since he had Jacob's right arm around his shoulder and had been helping him walk. "That man … Is not my real father." Jacob said. "In fact I have this strange sense that he is the one that made me who I am. Or who I turn into at sunset." Jacob said as he looked at Hisoka.

"How?" Hisoka started to ask but stopped as he didn't need to ask since it was Muraki that they were talking about.

"Before I came back here he followed him to this other small village. But he trapped me in a weird trap. A trap that hurt like hell when I tried to use my vectors." Jacob said. "When he said … You honestly thought that I didn't know how to trap a Chishio? I started to have this feeling that he was apart of this somehow." Jacob said.

Hisoka didn't say anything but hearing this angered him more. 'First me and now you did something to Jacob's life? Muraki … How many more must suffer because of you?' Hisoka thought to himself. "Come on, Kou Kaku Rou is just around this block and up about a mile away." Hisoka said. The two continued on with their walk.

When they reached this building that said Kou Kaku Rou the two stopped and looked around. Kou Kaku Rou was an elegant traditional restaurant that is secretly a brothel for the rich and powerful. When they reached the door the sign on it said closed on weekends. "It's closed." Jacob said. Hisoka started knocking and kept knocking until the door was answered.

The door was answered by a lovely young girl with light brown hair that was done up in a bun. She was wearing an elegant blue flowery Kimono that matched her blue eyes to a T. "Sorry boys but we are closed for the night." She said in a very sweet voice. "Come back tomorrow night and we will make it worth wild." She said as she winked at them and started to close the door.

"Foot …" Hisoka said and Jacob put one of his sore feet in the door so the girl could not close it. She tried a couple of times and Jacob winced and held in the grunts of pain. However, he did not move his foot.

"Boys I said we are closed now move your foot." The girl said as she kept trying to close the door.

"We are not here for pleasure." Hisoka said. This made the girl stop and with a questionable look on her face.

"Yeah why are we here anyways?" Jacob asked as Hisoka never really told him.

"We need to speak with Mibu Oriya." Hisoka said.

"Why do you need to speak with him?" The girl asked.

"Who is it that is here?" Came a somewhat calm and smooth voice. A man wearing a very distinctive and ornate Kimono and holding a Japanese Kiseru pipe in his hand appeared by the young girl's side.

"These boys wish to speak to you Oriya." The girl said as she was starting to blush. Oriya looked and already recognized one of them as he had an encounter with him before. But the other was completely new to him.

"Your friend looks pretty bad there boy." Oriya said as he saw how badly Jacob was beaten. "Don't tell me you took up another style and needed a punching bag to practice on boy." Oriya joked.

"A punching bag … I feel like one that is for sure." Jacob said. "Between getting a beat down by a crabby Café worker and having my foot slammed on by a door I am surprised I lived this long." Jacob said. "Oh and lets not forget who threw me right into a wall while I was asleep." Jacob said as he looked at Hisoka.

"It isn't my fault that no one likes you and that you are to stubborn to know when to quit." Hisoka said as he then let go of Jacob's arm and Jacob actually fell backwards and again hit his head. Hisoka ignored the fact that his partner was having a hard time getting up due to new pains. Instead he was looking right at Oriya. "We need to talk." Was the only thing Hisoka had said.

"I guess my dear friend did something more." Oriya said innocently. "I assure you I don't know where he is. However, we can still talk and get your punching bag taken care of." Oriya added as he raised an eyebrow at Jacob who had got to his feet. However, because of his injured feet he fell back down to the ground face first. "Mitsukai Please get someone to help you tend to that boy's injuries while me and this boy go out back to talk." Oriya said to the girls that had not left even when he came to the door.

"Yes sir." She said and she went back inside.

"This way." Oriya said as he took the long way to get around back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Loud thumbing and crashes can be heard inside.

Sitting out back, all is quiet with the exception of the wind blowing in the trees, the birds that tweeted about, and the occasional sounds coming from inside because Jacob is refusing to hold still while some of the girls are trying to pulls his clothes off.

"I am not that kind of guy!" Jacob protested.

"Hold still so we can get those wounds looked at." One of the girls said. Oriya slid the door shut. Doing that muffled the sound but didn't quiet it. Hisoka was keeping his distance leaning against one of the wood Pillars that were holding the roof up. Oriya sat just four feet from him smoking his pipe.

"The sun …." Hisoka said as he saw it in the sky. He gazed at it for a moment and appeared to be lost in his thoughts.

"What has my old friend been up to that has got you coming here?" Oriya asked in a very calm voice.

The door slid open and there was Jacob breathing hard and in his white Boxers. "Those …. Girls … AH!" Jacob said as two of the girls pulled him back in.

"Sorry." a small petite girl with light brown hairs said as she gave a small bow.

"He is being difficult?" Hisoka asked. The girl gave a very small nod. Hisoka closed his eyes and sighed. "Tell him I said that the sun will be going down soon and if he wants to find his love and his father then he better hurry up!" Hisoka yelled.

"That man is not my father!" Jacob yelled back. The girl gave another bow and closed the door as she went back inside.

"Father?" Oriya asked as he was slightly confused. 'Muraki what have you been doing?' Oriya thought to himself. Oriya looked up at the sun. Indeed it was getting close to setting but what was important about the sun going down?

"Muraki took two of our guys." Hisoka said. Oriya took his sights off the sun and looked at Hisoka.

"Two huh?" Oriya said. "I know what he would want with your partner but who else did he …" Just then it clicked in Oriya's head. "Your friend's love?" Oriya said. Hisoka gave a nod. Oriya looked away from Hisoka and puffed on his Pipe again. "Why does he want the boy that is inside there?" Oriya asked.

"Because …" Hisoka gave a small sigh. "Jacob is his creation." Hisoka said.

"Creation?" Oriya repeated. "But how?" He asked.

"You will find out when the sun goes down." Hisoka said. "But enough of that." He added. "Where is he holding them at?" Hisoka asked.

Oriya gave a sigh and stood up. The wind blew at his Kimono making it look like it is alive and dancing in no particular patron or motion. "I already told you, I don't know what he is planning now and I don't know where he is." Oriya said.

"You're lying!" Hisoka yelled as he had in one movement pushed himself off the pillar and ran out and grabbed Oriya by the front of his Kimono. "Now where are they!" Hisoka yelled. Oriya smirked as he looked at the young Shinigami.
