The 7th. Task

(Part Six)

"You know you could have given me a warning ahead of time." Hisoka said.

"A warning for what?" Jacob asked.

"For this." Hisoka said as he looked around as they were flying through the night sky. Hisoka couldn't help but to think that for someone his size his wings are quiet when they are flapping. There was a small breeze and it was blowing gently in the same direction that they were heading. So that seemed to make their flight easier. "Amazing." Hisoka said with his voice just above a whisper as he looked down and saw that with the trees' leaves moving in the wind it actually made it look like they were alive and trying their best to reach him and Jacob in the sky.

As they flew on the bundles of trees slowly became fewer and farther apart as they were now flying over a valley of tall grass. Below hidden in the grass a few rabbits look up in a mixture of wonder and confusion. As they flew on they were pretty quiet for at least three or four minutes.

"Say Jacob?" Hisoka said as his green eyes gazed at him.

"Nani?" Jacob said.

"How do you know that he will be where you say he will be?" Hisoka asked.

Jacob gave a small sigh. Hisoka could sense mixed emotions fighting each other inside Jacob. Fighting to see which one would be strong enough to make itself known. "Because … I grew up there with him." Jacob said. "So it would make sense that if he has Saya and Tsuzuki that he would want us to find him. So it would be someplace familiar." Jacob said.

"Well, I hope he doesn't see us coming." Hisoka said.

"Don't worry, when I was a child I always snuck out even when he wouldn't allow me to in fear that someone might spot me." Jacob said.

'Somehow I don't think that he cared if you got caught or seen. He just didn't want anyone to find out what he was up to at the time.' Hisoka thought to himself.

"I would always come back from this direction and he never found out!" Jacob added in a slightly more excited voice as he was trying to keep Hisoka from noticing what his true feelings wanted to say. However, Hisoka being an empath could feel the worry emitting out of every part of Jacob's being. 'I don't blame you for being worried.' Hisoka thought to himself. They both were worried about what Muraki might do to Saya and Tsuzuki.

"Say Jacob?" Hisoka said.

"Nani?" Jacob replied.

"Since there is never enough night do you think that we could speed up the pace?" Hisoka asked. Jacob smirked and then gave a nod. He held tight to Hisoka and with just one mighty flap of his massive wings their speed did quicken a few notches.

Whether they knew it or not they were being watched by a figure to far off for them to spot. 'Well, it seems that you two have finally come.' Muraki thought to himself as he held the Binoculars as he was looking out the window of the living room just three floors above where Tsuzuki was being held at. 'I am amazed that you two who were meant to be enemies have managed to put aside your differences to work together. However, I can not allow you to succeed.' Muraki thought to himself. He lowered the Binoculars and an evil twisted grin spread across that pale milky white face of his. "My precious dolls." He said as he gave a low half muffled laugh.

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

"We are making good time." Jacob said.

"Hai, with any luck we can -- What's wrong?" Hisoka asked as Jacob had came to a sudden stop in mid-air. Still flapping his wings to stay air born Jacob pointed towards the ground. "Huh?" Hisoka said as he followed his partner's finger. His eyes grew wide with shock as he saw the ghost white form of Muraki.

"Muraki …" They both said.

"Jacob lets land." Hisoka said. Jacob didn't say a word he just spread out his wings to as far as they would go and glided gently down to the ground. The landing was soft since it was tall grass they landed in. Not one of them spoke. The three of them just stood there. The wind looked as if it was circling them, making a ring for them should a fight break out.

Finally someone spoke. "Well, it seems that you had replaced me my son." Muraki said.

"Vail demon … I AM NOT YOUR SON!" Jacob yelled at the top of his voice. The yell seemed to make every living creature miles around to grow deafly silent. "I want to know … I want …" Jacob looked at his hands, he gritted his fangs tightly Hisoka looked at him with a slightly worried look in his green eyes. "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME! AND WHAT HAPPEN TO MY REAL PARENTS!" Jacob yelled again.

Hisoka didn't know what to say. He was just completely surprised even though he figured that Muraki had done something to Jacob. 'So I was right. Muraki did do this to Jacob.' Hisoka thought to himself. The memories of what Muraki had done to him came rushing back into his mind at full blast. He remembered ever ounce of pain that was forced on him. He could still feel those cold hands on his skin. Those hands were like death hands.

Speaking of death Hisoka could still remember the pain and outrageous temperatures that was endless. He remembered the nights he had been unable to sleep from the pain and no amount of pain killers could ease the pain or take the edge off. He could still see the looks of sadness and worry in the many doctors and nurses who were brought from around the world to try and figure out the strange illness that was hurting him so. However, no matter how many times they tried to lie and say that they were getting closer to finding out what caused his sudden illness and that they are getting closer to a cure it was only lies.

Hisoka knew that they were lies because of his power to read other's emotions. What he read from them wasn't assurance or happiness. What it was that flooded into him was fear, sadness, pity, emotional pain, and even frustration. The first four emotions were for how much they saw him suffering. But the frustration was for themselves because they were no closer to a cure then anyone else. They felt that they were failing the young teen. There had been many times that he wanted to say that it wasn't their fault that a cure wasn't found. But Hisoka was hurting so much that anytime he opened his mouth to speak all that came out was more yells that were brought on by the pain.

The day that he died his body felt relieved and yet so tired. That he figured was because while he was alive his body could not rest for those three years so now that it was finally able to rest it felt weird. But Hisoka didn't rest after death. He had this strange feeling that something was amiss. Like how strange it was that a youth such as himself was so healthy almost all his life would suddenly and with out any signs before hand become ill just like that. So he decided that he would need to find out the truth for himself and that was why he became a Shinigami. Plus that was how he met Tsuzuki was by becoming a Shinigami.

"So you figured it out did you?" Muraki said. "I always knew you were a clever boy." He added. "But now I am afraid that I must stop you two here." Muraki said. He brought up his right hand; stretching his hand high above his head he placed the tips of his thumb and middle finger together. "I hope that you don't mind, but I don't do my own dirty work." He said and upon snapping his fingers a strange noise could be heard. It started off at a distance but grew louder and came closer at a seemingly fast pace. Hisoka and Jacob both look up at the sky and gasped as these strange half decaying look of demon birds came rushing at them. There had to be at least twenty if not forty of these birds coming from every direction.
