Tsuzuki: Same here!
Hisoka: Yep! I have the long awaited second chapter to 'Your Destiny, My Fate' in my hands.
Tsuzuki: She would have gotten it done a while back, but she had to make sure that everything was good enough before she posted it.
Hisoka: Hai! And without any further ado, can you please do the disclaimer, Tsuzuki-sama?
Tsuzuki: Okay! (clears throat) Hi-chan and Miko-chan both don't own the Yami no Matsuei characters for any reason, but Hi-chan does own her made up character Kisara and the poem that she wrote in this chapter.
Hisoka: Yay! (gives Tsuzuki a cookie) For your hard work as my muse.
Tsuzuki: (eats the cookie)
Hisoka: Now, for readers' reviews!
Sayoko's fire - You didn't know that it had one chapter up? Shame on you! (giggles) Just kidding, and welcome to our story! And yes, I do hate having to wait for updates; but even great minds have to think of new ideas.
laustic - Thank you so much for your comment. Miko-chan did the first chapter and I am just now bringing the second chapter up; due to my brain frying out because this story just wouldn't leave me alone! Ha ha! Hope that you enjoy the second chapter.
Off-Topic Rambling # 1: Sadly, I must announce that I have lost the charger to my phone during my fall break at my campus. It was in my possession when I went from the computer lab to my team dinner, and then somehow I can't find it. I am trying to get a new one to replace it, but I doubt that I'll be successful.
Off-Topic Rambling # 2: My final project is to take me to Minnesoda, so if anyone lives there; I want to meet you in person! I hope!
Off-Topic Rambling # 3: 'Aoyagi Miroku' is a false name that Miko-chan made up for Hisoka. We all know that Hisoka is his real name. (hugs Hisoka tightly)
Tsuzuki: Now, onto the fic!
() Tsuzuki and my side notes
A Fated Meeting
'We danced in the mists of the Heavens;
Twisting and turning as the winds.
Soaring on the wings of love,
Yet held back by the burden on shame.' -
'Forbidden Love' by my best friend Ashley. (Her poems can be found on Myspace at AngelicDarkness or Facebook)
As soon as he was far away from the infirmary and in the safety of his classroom, Hisoka managed to catch his breath and calm down his racing heart. 'What in the world did that doctor try to do?' thought Hisoka as some of his classmates were walking into the classroom.
"Are you okay, Hisoka-san? (1) You look like someone's after you for something." asked a young female angelic voice as Hisoka turned around to see that Kakyoin Kisara (2) was looking at the young empath as her soft dark blue eyes were full of concern as well. Hisoka knew that Kisara and her sister Tsubaki were very popular among the school; and even some people had started rumors that Kisara had a huge crush on Hisoka. (Tsuzuki: I thought that this was a Hisoka x Tsuzuki fic. Hisoka: Well, you have to put a triangle in stories, and I am not going to put those two together)
"Hai, Kakyoin-chan. I was just making sure that I wasn't late for class." replied Hisoka as Kisara turned her head aside as if the young girl was trying to understand Hisoka's words. Before she could say anymore, the school bell for the next period rang; which caused for Hisoka and Kisara to look at each other.
After last period was finished, Hisoka was putting some of his stuff into his bag when the young teenager picked up emotions of fear, pain, sorrow, and deep depression. Hisoka just shrugged it off since he was not too concerned until he heard a familiar scream that caused for Hisoka to run out of the classroom.
"Let go of me!" screamed Kisara as she was being pinned against her will by the wall while Tsubaki was being held by her arms, and some of the boys were making rude comments about the two sisters. "Why are you doing this to us? We haven't done anything wrong to you!" cried Kisara while the leader of the gane whose name was Saki had been smiling at the young Kakyoin's actions. (Hisoka: I want to make it clear that Saki is not the same one who is Muraki's stepbrother. The name just came to me while I was writing this)
Hisoka reached the spot where he heard the scream; only to see that Kisara and Tsubaki were in danger. "Hisoka-san! Help us, please!" screamed Kisara as Hisoka clenched his hands into fists.
"Well, well. If it isn't the quiet and perfect Kurosaki Hisoka. Are you going to save your little girlfriend from us?" taunted Saki as one of the boys who had pinned Kisara against the wall had roughly teased one of Kisara's breasts with his hands, and the action enraged Hisoka even more.
"Leave Kakyoin-chan and her nee-chan (3) alone, Saki-san. This doesn't have to end with pain or bloodshed." said Hisoka as Saki could only laugh before he landed on the ground with a deep red bruise appearing on the older boy's left cheek. (Tsuzuki: That's my Soka! Hisoka: OO)
"You. . .You jerk!" shouted Saki as he rose to his feet and lunged forward to punch Hisoka back; while both of the sisters watched the fight unfold before them. Kisara was very concerned for Hisoka's safety.
"You could hardly hit the side of a barn; let alone me. Give up already, Saki-san." commented Hisoka as he dodged the fist with ease as the young teenager saw that Kisara had broke free of her captives and Tsubaki had fought back by hitting one of the other boys with her purse. Hisoka was too busy looking at Kisara to even hear Tsubaki yelling out his name before everything went dark.
"Hisoka-san, are you okay? Can you answer us?" Hisoka slowly opened up his emerald eyes to see that Kisara and Tsubaki were standing of either side of the infirmary bed; both girls had concerned looks on their faces as the young boy placed a hand on his forehead. 'I only wish that they would just block their emotions because it gives me a killer headache.' thought Hisoka as he felt one of Kisara's hands lightly touch his left arm, and Tsubaki thought that it was best for her to leave the two alone.
Kisara was playing with the edge of her skirt nervously as the young girl tried to advert her gaze away while Hisoka tried to focus on blocking out Kisara's overbearing emotions. Neither one of them dared to break the silence that loomed over them; for fear that they might say something that they couldn't take back. (Hisoka: Isn't that so cute? Tsuzuki: I like it better if it was me with Soka-chan)
"Um. . . Arigato (4) for saving me and Tsu-hime (5) from those perverts, Hisoka-san." replied Kisara as she lowered her gaze so that Hisoka could not see the deep blush that was forming on the young Kakyoin's face, and Hisoka had to sigh deeply.
After school was over for the day and the two sisters had said their goodbyes to him, Hisoka started to walk home from the building. As the young boy walked past the cherry blossoms trees, Hisoka managed to catch a petal in his hand as the young empath remembered some myth that Kisara told him involving the cherry blossoms when the two of them were in elementary school.
Flashback; Kamakura Elementary School (6)
Hisoka and Kisara were playing outside on the playground near some cherry blossoms, and the young Kakyoin sister was trying to catch some of the falling petals that gently flew down from its home on the tree. Hisoka looked at Kisara with a bit of confusion on his face.
"What are you doing, Kisara-chan?" asked Hisoka as the young girl finally caught a blossom in her hands, and Kisara turned around to look at the young Kurosaki with a bright smile on her face.
"It is a myth that if you catch a falling cherry blossom, then you will find true love in the future. (7) I hope that it will come true for me." replied Kisara as she closed her dark blue eyes while Hisoka could only shrug his shoulders.
End Flashback; Present Time
'Find true love in the future. . . Yea right.' thought Hisoka as he opened up his hand to allow the wind to blow the blossom away. It wasn't that he didn't believe the myth at all; but Hisoka just couldn't believe that anyone would ever love him.
Dinnertime at the Kurosaki house was very hard for Hisoka; especially since he was afraid of his parents. Ever since they found out about his empathy, Hisoka was beaten and abused every time by them. And now he was sure that he was going to get beaten if his parents found out that Hisoka got into a fight at school.
While Hisoka was eating some of his rice (8), his father and mother were talking about their day as the young empath sighed with some sort of relief that Hisoka didn't even know he was holding until now, and the young teenager soon found out that he regretted it.
"And why are you so relieved? I got a call from your school, and they told me that you got into a fight today." replied Nagure as he glared at Hisoka with a sharp look in his eyes as his wife Rui kept on eating her dinner. The young teenager felt fear rising up in his body as Hisoka tried to regain his courage.
"I was protecting friends of mine, father. They were-" Hisoka was cut off as Nagure slapped the young empath across the face so hard that it caused for Hisoka to fall out of his chair onto the floor as he looked at his mother for support. "Mother, please help me. . ." pleaded Hisoka as Rui looked at the young boy with a look of disgust on her face.
"Why should I help a demon like you? You are not my child! (9)" shouted Rui as Hisoka stared at his mother before the young empath was pulled up to his feet roughly as Nagure glared at Hisoka before the elder Kurosaki dragged Hisoka away.
The young teenager was lying down on his bed as Hisoka fought against the tears that tried to fall from his closed eyes, but the young empath soon lost the battle as Hisoka's back was covered with deep red gashes that was very deep in the young teenager's skin. Nagure had whipped Hisoka badly until his back was bleeding, and then he was left alone in his bedroom to suffer. (Hisoka: I am TOTALLY against any kind of abuse, and what Hisoka's parents did to him make me feel sorry for Hisoka. Tsuzuki: That's why Hi-chan doesn't write out any abuse scene; because it makes her puke and brings back painful memories of her own life)
"It hurts. . . So much pain. . ." hissed Hisoka as he slowly got up from the bed to reach for his laptop and waited as the object booted up; and the young teenager typed on the keyboard as he tried to ignore the pain in his body. By the time that the last time was finished, Hisoka pressed the 'Send' button before the young empath passed out from the pain and fell asleep.
A certain dark brown haired person with lovely amethyst eyes was scanning the forum for any new topics or any replies to the questions before his eyes saw a poem by the name of 'LonelyEmeraldEyes (10)' that was submitted not too long ago.
"Hmm. . . Guess that I should look at it." said the person as he clicked on the poem and begun to read it.
'A mask of false happiness breaks apart
As everyone is full of sincere and pure feelings.
Among this crowd of people remains
Someone whose heart has been shattered.
His false smile so full of sorrow and sadness
Matched with a pair of lonely eyes.
This young boy so bruised and beaten
Is awaiting for someone kind to show up.
"Why pretend?" asked his faithless mind
As his cold heart slowly cease to beat.
He doesn't have a truthful answer at all
But just sit and keep waiting for a sign.
I've been lied and betrayed all of my life
And yet I continue to show pure kindness.
Even to people who taunt, tease, and beat me
Because my eyes are clouded by broken tears.'
-LonelyEmeraldEyes
The person was wiping away some of the tears that had fallen from his eyes as he finished reading the poem as the figure clicked on the 'Reply' button and started to write a comment. 'I only hope that this person might be my friend that I have looked for.' thought the figure as he finished the comment and pressed the 'Send' button as he turned off the computer and went to sleep.
1) Since Hisoka is older than Kisara in age wise, she used the 'san' as a honor to him.
2) Miko-chan and I thought that it would be fun if Tsubaki and Kisara were sisters in this fic.
3) 'Nee-chan' is Japanese for sister.
4) 'Arigato' is Japanese for Thank You
5) Kisara calls Tsubaki 'Tsu-hime' because of the same way as she calls Hisoka 'Hisoka-san'
6) I'm not sure if that is the name of the school, but I didn't have any other ideas.
7) This myth is one that I just made up. Don't flame me!!!
8) I have read fics where Hisoka's parents starved Hisoka when he was young; but I didn't want to follow that path. Poor Hisoka-san! (hugs him)
9) This quote came from the third episode and the first volume of the manga.
10) Miko-chan and I made this screen name for Hisoka because it fits his personality. Tsuzuki's screen name will show up soon!
(The poem in this chapter is my own creation)
Hisoka: There you go. The long-awaited second chapter to 'Your Destiny, My Fate'. I hope that you enjoy it, and please read and review!
Tsuzuki: Yes, because it will help Miko-chan with writing the third chapter!
Hisoka: Hai, hai! Bye everyone!
