The 7th. Task

(Part Nine)

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki said as he had seen Hisoka was now on the floor. He went to help Hisoka up when he saw Jacob on the floor as well. But the thing was that Jacob was not in his human form and it made Tsuzuki jump "AHH! JACOB!" Tsuzuki had yelled out.

"Nice to see you again to." Jacob said as he was glad that he used his vectors to secure Saya on his back so she wouldn't fall off. "Well, it seems we accomplished our task." Jacob said as he stood up and Tsuzuki helped Hisoka up.

"No not until we get out of here." Hisoka said. "What happen to Muraki?" He asked.

"Is Saya alright?" Tsuzuki asked as it was then that he saw her on Jacob's back…

"She is okay." Jacob said. 'I hope.' Jacob added in thought.

"Come on let's just get out of here." Hisoka said and they all started running. "Jacob do you know any short cuts?" Hisoka asked.

"I don't know." Jacob said. "I mean it feels like I had been down here before but I don't see how." Jacob said as he tried to think. They continued to run when Jacob stopped and that in turn made Hisoka and Tsuzuki stop.

"What is it?" Tsuzuki asked. However, Jacob didn't answer he just turned and faced a door where light shown through the bottom, top, and around both ends of the door.

"Jacob?" Hisoka said but Jacob pushed open the door and the light that was in the room shined on them and what they saw inside they would not forget. There were skulls, red candles, old dusty jars filled with god knows what. And on the ground were five candles in a circle that stretched five feet round.

"This place." Jacob said as he slowly and attentively walked into the room. Old dusty books covered almost every part of the room from the floor to the ceiling. Jacob's vectors had retreated back inside him and Saya almost was dropped to the ground. But Hisoka caught her.

Tsuzuki walked to the inside of the circle of the five candles while Jacob walked to the other end of the room and his eyes scanned the pages of an open book. Tsuzuki knelt down and moved the dust that had caked on the floor. What he saw was some strange markings. "What's this?" Tsuzuki asked as be begun to move more of the dust.

The moment Jacob touched the book flashes of images that he had never seen before came flooding into his mind. Then everything went black. "Tsuzuki! Jacob!" Hisoka pointed and Tsuzuki got up, took two big steps, and his arms reached out and caught Jacob before he could hit the ground.

"Jacob?" Tsuzuki asked as he laid Jacob on the ground and lightly shook him. Hisoka carried Saya over to where Jacob had been standing moments before and sat her gently on the ground. He then stood up and his eyes went to the book that Jacob had been looking at.

What he read told everything or at least how Jacob was made. "Tsuzuki look at this." Hisoka said. Tsuzuki went over and read what Hisoka had read.

"What is this?" Tsuzuki asked.

"I think that this is how Jacob came to be." Hisoka replied.

"It is." Jacob said as he sat up from the ground. Tsuzuki and Hisoka went over and helped Jacob to his feet.

"What happened?" They both asked.

"I remember everything." Jacob said as his voice was a tiny bit shaky. "My …. Grandparents did not abandon me." Jacob said.

"They didn't?" Tsuzuki said. "Well, that is good then right?" He asked as a gentle smile came to his face.

"They were killed." Jacob said. That made the smile on Tsuzuki's face drop faster then a heart rate. "I killed …. Them." Jacob said.

"What?" Hisoka and Tsuzuki said at the same time. They both were taken aback by this bit.

"The form I am in now requires that I feed on blood." Jacob said. "And if I don't feed after a couple of days on some kind of blood then I go crazy and Muraki knew it. He knew it would happen and knew the blood packs wouldn't tie me over for a week and he allowed it to happen." Jacob said as he hugged himself.

"Are you okay Jacob?" Tsuzuki asked as he and Hisoka could see Jacob trembling all over.

"I think … I am going to be sick." Jacob said as he actually looked like he was.

"Oh don't do that." Muraki said as he had appeared behind them. "You will dirty up the floor. More so then what it already is." He added. Hisoka and Tsuzuki both glared at Muraki. It was as if their glares were trying to drill Muraki's eyes out.

"Why?" Jacob asked. "Why did you let me do it?!" Jacob yelled.

"You knew what would happen when left alone without enough blood didn't you?" Hisoka asked. His Sandy Blond hair lightly covering his Emerald green eyes. But not even his hair could hide the heat of hatred towards Muraki.

"Of course I did. His family was in the way from the time I brought him back to life. I would have cared for him myself but I didn't need a real doll to bother me." Muraki said. "But you do owe me. I mean I delivered you from your dead mother's womb, put life into your small and yet perfect lifeless body, then I took you all the way to the hospital which is pretty far when you have to walk." Muraki added in his calm casual voice. "But now I am regretting doing that."

"You and me both." Jacob said. His crimson red eyes full of rage, sadness, fear, and the fact that he still is thinking about throwing up.

"Oh but don't worry I will fix that problem. Right now." Muraki said and as on cue all five candles lit themselves and the dust swirled away showing a demonic five star pentacle that was hidden under the dust. "Tsuzuki it is only you that I want. So look at me so I can watch you shatter when those close to you are killed!" Muraki said. Out of the demonic symbol a three heads white dragon with blood red eyes came flying out.

"Crap." Jacob said as he had his hands up to block when the dust had flown around at them and in all directions. The Dragon's middle head brought back its head and unleashed his fire which burned with orange and red flames right towards Hisoka and Jacob. Suddenly Tsuzuki appeared in front of them. However, just when the flames was going to hit Tsuzuki Hisoka jumped in the way and took the hit instead. "Hisoka!" Jacob said.

Hisoka fell into Tsuzuki's arms. Tsuzuki held Hisoka close to him. "No." Tsuzuki said.

"HISOKA!"
