Can you imagine, Ive come up with the next chapter. Oh well, dont blame me, I think there are little to the none ficks that present a rather complex relationship between Ukyou and Muraki, so I decided to accent some of their antics here. Hope you like it, che continuation of the nailbiting episode :D

Yours as frequently,

Morality.

-"Any bright ideas?"

-"We'll fight."

-"Not bright, but That's what we're left with."

A group of some six or seven men encircled them, lust and some animal desires literally leaking from them. Tsuzukis spirits fell, and so did Ukyous. They approached them, smirking nastily.

-"On the other hand, I hope you have some spare condoms with you, I don't think they've thought about contraception." Tsuzuki looked at her perplexed.

-"Spare what?"

-"Doesn't matter."Ukyou inhaled deep and started screaming. "HELP! ANYONE SOMEONE, HEEEELP!" That didn't seem to work. "Guys, sorry for getting you into this mess." Tsuzuki shrugged and was about to call out his shikiami, well, he was about to get violated, but clicking of the walking stick and the familiar voice stopped him.

-"It's not proper to pester fine ladies." A lonely figure in travel cloak said, standing at the entrance into the alley, his face was obscured by a hat, so that only pale lips were visible. Tsuzuki glanced at Ukyou, who was grinning manically. The group leader spoke.

-"Non of your damn business, they're ours go find some yourself." The figure disappeared to appear in front of the gang leader, throwing him on the ground and planting a foot in the middle of his chest, pointing a blade, previously disguised inside the walking stick, at his throat.

-"I said leave them." Tsuzuki and Ukyou gasped as one of the bastards approached their savior from behind and stabbed him in the back. Tsuzukis heart sank, seeing the end of the blade sticking out of the rib case. The only reaction they saw was the stranger leaning forward a bit and then straightening himself, turning to the one who stabbed him and piercing him through with the blade nonchalantly.

-"An eye for an eye, any one else of you punks want to try your luck?" He said, ignoring the blood leaking out of his mouth and trickling down his chin, leaving blotches of burgundy on the collar of his shirt. He looked too lively for a stabbed man, the scoundrels scrambled and ran, leaving their dead buddy behind. Minutes of silence lingered Ukyou was to brake the silence.

-"Nice to see you, where did you leave your shiny armor and white horse?" Tsuzuki fell over.

-"Stop mocking me and help me get that dagger out of my spine."

-"You should have become an actor, dramatic roles suit you." He only smirks.

-"And that is all I get for saving your skin." Ukyou just smirked at him.

-"Oh, but of course, my hero." She hugged him.

Tsuzuki observed all this scene and got quite perplexed

-"Umm, you know each other?" They only glanced at each other, both smirking. Ukyou started.

-"I don't know him, but he sure as hell knows me. Oh, I forgot to introduce you."

-"It's alright, we already know each other." Muraki smiled at Tsuzuki amiably, who blushed in return and started examining his sneakers. Ukyou smiled as well, seeing how embarrassed the girl looked.

-"She's a sweetheart, isn't she?"

-"She definitely is. So what's with bouya, he doesn't look too well." Only now they noticed Hisoka was unconsciously lying on the ground. Tsuzuki blushed again for being so careless, and decided to teleport to the mansion with him, leaving Muraki to go with Ukyou.

-"After you." Muraki smirked.

-"Yeah, see you in staff dormitory, I want to check on the kid."

-"But of course." The woman disappeared in a dusky pink cloud. Muraki only shook his head and followed her, fading into thin air.

Hisokas lying still, and Ukyou pops up out of thin air. Tsuzukis startled, pointing a finger at her.

-"How did you do that?" Muraki appears beside her.

-"Tsuzuki san, it's not polite to point." The shinigami blushed.

-"I, I thought you were a human." Ukyou smirked at him.

-"Yes, I thought that you were human too." Meanwhile Muraki checked on Hisoka. His breath smelt like bitter almonds –"Cyanide poisoning. You should take him back to Meifu, he survived, being a shinigami, but he needs help, cyanide is a strong poison, it might affect him."

-"But, um."

-"Just go, sweetheart, we will be waiting for you." Ukyou smiled at him amiably. Tsuzuki left, holding Hisoka. "Were those your ex-enemies?"

-"Sort of, to be precise, they never were my enemies, just bothersome hindrances."

-"Sure, mere hindrances that gutted you." Ukyou remarked sarcastically.

-"Mind you I was killed by a falling pillar." Muraki crossed his hands over his chest pouting, he could even do that, in fact, Ukyou and Oriya were the only ones who dared to speak with him this way.

-"Yeah, sure, and there were some UFOs as well."

-"Dammit, Ukyou I'm dead serious."

-"Yeah, dead you are." Muraki clenched his fists. Ukyou shrunk, she'd gotten too far. He offered her only a glimpse of his venomous glare, but then softened on her, she was, in fact dear to him.

-"Saki's back." All color fled Ukyous face. She grabbed the back of the chair for support. He helped her take a seat. "I met him earlier today."

-"Wha, what did he want from you?" Muraki sighed deeply shaking his head. "No, don't you dare hiding this from me, Muraki Kazutaka, me and Ori, we both care for you dearly."

-"Ukyou, you have a son to raise, my son, I will not get you involved, do you want to endanger Artemis?"

-"You know what? We were in danger from the very moment you turned homicidal, me, Ori and Arty as well, so stop acting all caring like."

-"You hurt me, Ukyou."

-"Dammit, do you know how often you have done that to me?" The woman started sobbing a little.

-"Yes, I realize the extent, therefore I'm not willing to repeat it, are you satisfied?" The ex-doctor stayed adamant in what he meant.

-"Ori sniff said to tell you he says hi sniff, among other things." Muraki chuckled, he could only imagine what those other things were.

-"Shh, feeling better?" She nodded silently, removing a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe away some tears. "Please understand I don't want to bring any of you more sufferings than I already have." This was an appropriate moment to persuade her, since she was vulnerable."Therefore I will leave you out of . ."

-"Oh no you don't, those mind tricks might work on any other woman you have met, Kazutaka, but I know you for too long and no you will not get away this time."

-"But . ."

-"Hey I don't mind you fancying that girl, if that's the reason you want me gone." She didn't mention all the side lovers she had had.

-"No its not the .. "

-"And I'm letting Ori know about how you're doing."

-"Will you let me finish woman?" Lifting her chin and composing herself for the oncoming confrontation, Ukyou crossed her arms on the chest and looked at him.

-"Talk away."

-"I'm not letting you into this, Because even knowing what you are, you still can die, I can't. If you die Arty will be left with Oriya. After all, we had decided we'll keep him innocent as long as possible, I doubt that will be an option at his place. Does that answer your resolve?" Ukyou only shook her hands in surrender.

-"Ok, all right, do it your way." Muraki smiled, seeing her antics.

-"Kiss and make up?" Ukyou blew a raspberry.

-"Yeah, you wish."

-"It's been a long time, you know."

-"Hands off! The kids will be returning soon, besides they will want answers."

-"I doubt we'll have any problems with that. However you have perfected your charms over time."

-"Well, you're not the only one hooking people up, besides it's what I do to survive, however you only do that to amplify that overblown ego of yours." Ouch, she had a sharp tongue when she wanted to.

-"Hmm, true, but not like it's unprovoked." He announced proudly.

-"You'll never die from modesty." Ukyou scoffed, visibly frustrated by the lack of influence her words held.

-"You're telling me that?"

-"We're getting nowhere like this."

-"Agreed. So what did Saki want from you?"

-"Before I tell you I need you to promise you will not get involved." Ukyou raised a hand for her promise. "And the other part of you as well." She groaned and did as she was asked.

-"You don't trust me, Kazu?" She mocked in a hurt tone.

-"I have known you for a while as well."He smirked back.

-"Ok, will you cut the long story short?"

-"He wanted to get the body I had found for him."

-"What would he do with it? I suppose you didn't negotiate with a floating head." Muraki shook his head.

-"He looked quite alive, the problem is the body he wants belongs to the maid you fancy so much." Ukyou fell in fits of laughter.

-"Oh hell, you've got some morbid sense of humor, Man. You wanted to resurrect Saki with the body of a girl??"

-"No, she is normally a man, by circumstances unknown to me, he'd turned into a young lady."

-"Maybe he's a transvestite?" Muraki shook his head

-"I don't think so, it's unlikely of him to crosdress."

-"Have you looked up his skirt or something?"

-"I don't think it's necessary with such uniform."

The next chappie will be something more of how hisoka gets treated and well finally get to know what Ukyou really IS, sorry,lemon is coming, some time, there certainly will beone, I just dont knowwhere, but somewhere ahead.
