Ashi: I should be doing other things, but I've got nothing to do!
Aschlyn: And yet you're writing this.
Ashi: I need to finish my collabs…..Izanami?
Izanami: Disclaimer's in the first chapter don't make me say it again.
Ashi: Oh crap, I forgot to mention, this fan-fiction parings are one-sided Muraki/Amaya, future Tatsumi/Amaya, possible (?) Tsuzuki/Hisoka, and (Mystery OC)/Izanami.
Chapter 4: Finding Amaya (Where could she be?)
(Izanami's POV)
Hisoka had walked with me to find Tsuzuki, who he said was apparently in a park nearby. Once we got into the park, Hisoka stopped suddenly.
"There he is, Tsuzuki!" Hisoka called over. I looked over to where the blond shinigami was looking and saw a man in a black trenchcoat stand. Heh, in America he would have looked suspicious.
He turned his head and there he was, Asato Tsuzuki. He then walked over to us when we appeared in his line of sight. "Tsuzuki, this is Izanami. Izanami, this is Tsuzuki." I could've guessed that for myself, there's not many shinigami or angels in trenchcoats around from what I know.
"Nice to meet you, what's going on?" Tsuzuki asked.
"Well, I agreed to help her look for her friend, Amaya, and I kind of included you and Tatsumi."
"Okay…well, Tatsumi is actually here. He's over there trying to talk to that girl." Tsuzuki said and pointed near a nearby bench and we say Tatsumi get slapped. Ha ha ha…..how funny.
"Ooo….." We all pretty much ended up saying. "Burn!"
"That had to hurt." Hisoka said. Tatsumi stood up from where he fell and made his way towards us. "So, why is he talking to a girl?"
"He finally found out that he needs to start dating." Tsuzuki said. Eh….I didn't really think so; he seemed to be a loner- like that Oriya guy!
Hisoka and I looked at him with pure doubt in our eyes; there was no way in hell he could have agreed that easily.
"…Okay! I suggested it and he agreed after an hour of convincing! And…I also told him that girls at night are better for him." Wait, WHAT THE SHIT?
Tatsumi stopped in front of the group and noticed me. "Oh, hello. You look very beautiful…" Automatically, I punched him square in the face. He fell to the ground rather quickly.
Amaya was absolutely in love with Tatsumi; I remember when I let her borrow one of my Yami no Matsuei fan-fiction with Tatsumi on the cover and her nose bled all over the clothes. Her mom had to bring her new clothes back from home.
"…Wow," Tsuzuki said. "…That's a mighty punch."
"Damn straight, I got used to it. I mean, I am pretty good looking." I said with a small smirk on my face. "That, and Amaya always seems to attract perverts."
"I know what you mean." Hisoka said, folding his arms.
Tsuzuki simply folded his arms and scoffed.
"I know how Amaya feels. Damn Muraki." Tsuzuki said with a pout on his face. "So, you need help finding her?"
"Yeah, she's in Kyoto City Hospital; Amaya is very sensitive and extremely shy. Trust me, when I first met her she was bleeding everywhere."
"Alright, we'll help. We can start tomorrow morning, I'm tired." Tsuzuki said and began to walk away.
"Wait, Tsuzuki." Hisoka said, stopping him in his wake. "What about Tatsumi?"
Everyone looked down at Tatsumi, who lay on the ground still knocked out from my punch.
"I'll get his arms." Tsuzuki said in a lazy whine.
(Amaya's POV)
Warmth surrounded me and I caught myself smiling. I was so sleep, and the warmth wanted to give me what I wanted. I shifted me body a little, squirming until I was comfortable. I could tell it was not yet morning, which gave me the sign that I could sleep some more.
I embraced the warmth once again, and it embraced me back. Odd…the pressure was actually holding me.
"Oh, my sweet night rain, pour down your sweet drops of warm blood." Suddenly, lips caressed my cheek. I knew Muraki was the voice. I began to shake horribly.
"Oh Black, you are trembling, my perfect little doll." I was about to stand, but he pulled me over his bare, hard chest. I could feel blood spilling out of my nose once again.
Muraki touched the blood with the tip of his index figure. Then he raised it to his lips and licked at it pleasurably.
"You taste divine, my love." Muraki said with a suave smirk.
"Please, let me go." I plead.
"Why? I am enjoying myself." I began to cry, but I guess he admired that, because he purred my last name.
"Oriya?!"
"Oh, my sweet woman, Oriya is at the grocery store. I told him it would be better for you to have food when you're ready." Muraki said as he sat him, letting the blood carelessly trail down his torso.
I got out of bed quickly and ran out the room and towards Oriya's room. The man was right, he was gone. "Black." Muraki purred.
I ran into Oriya's closet and hid there.
"Black, are you in there?" I can hear his footfall het louder and louder. "Oh little doll, you hide from me? You are so naïve, almost like my lover." He then opened the door and revealed me.
"I found you." Muraki chuckled.
"Leave me alone, Muraki!" Muraki knelt by my side and he nuzzled my arm.
"…I have not been in such contact for so long. Maybe you are my saving grace, Black. You will save me from my desires of passion and lust." I pushed away his face and tried to get away. "Black, where are you going?"
"Getting away from you, you pervert!" I yelled, jabbing my finger at him. He only smiled at me.
"You are so naïve." I getting tired of that word!
"Ama-chan?" I looked to the door and saw Oriya standing there.
"Oriya!" I ran to him and hid behind him. Muraki simply stood up. "He was trying to get me, Oriya!" I yelled.
"Muraki, please, not with her. Please spare her." Oriya said. This made me confused.
"That cannot be granted." Muraki said. "She is now the other half of my heart, right next to Tsuzuki.
Okay, I know I heard that name before! But from where?
"Two lovers, Kazutaka? Isn't one enough?" Oriya asked.
"Yes, but it's much better to have the same love in two different types." I cocked my head at this, not understanding at all.
"You are like me other lover, Tsuzuki- but you are a woman. This is much better. If I am not in the mood for one, I crave the other. And I crave you now, Black." Muraki said.
"You can't have me!" I protested and ran to my room.
(Izanami's POV)
Kyoto City Hospital…We arrived there early in the morning so that we could sneak Amaya out if we have to. Tsuzuki growled with irritation.
"This hospital is way too big. It'll take us forever to find Amaya!" Tsuzuki said, more like whined.
"We could just take a floor that would be much easier." Tatsumi responded. I rolled my eyes.
"Men these days." I said. "You give them the task and they have to do it the hard way." I walked through the doors and went up to the front desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The woman at the desk asked.
"Yes, I'm here to see Amaya Black. She's a patient here." I said and the woman looked through the computer.
"Or we could have done that." Hisoka said.
"No, Amaya Black was released yesterday." The woman informed.
"Do you know where she might be?" I asked with irritation now in my voice.
"I can't release that information. Sorry." I turned away from the desk and began to walk out of the hospital doors with the guys not far behind. I sighed, wondering where she could be.
"Izanami-san, is there any other places you think she might be?" Tatsumi asked.
"Well, where should I start?" I said to myself outloud. "She loves almost everything, and is just about capable of anything. She loves to be in non-crowded areas or else she would bleed from her nose. But this place has to be calm and tranquil and very popular- like a plaza or a park. She loves every pastry in the whole work, ice cream and jello. She also loves cats."
"Alright, we'll start…"
"No, no, no." I said. "Amaya would never wander off on her own in an unknown area, especially when she knows every man wants her. So, she might be someplace really quiet with no one around." Damn it Gothy, where the hell are you?!
"Maybe we can find the doctor that treated Amaya." Tsuzuki suggested.
"Yeah." I agreed. "Then if he doesn't tell us, we'll force it out of him!" I said, punching my palm and laughing evilly.
We snuck back inside the hospital and secretly roamed the halls, looking for doctors that would look sad. Amaya has that effect on good people. I simply found it easy to shadow walk, that and its like 6:31 in the fucking morning.
I emerged from the shadow as if I was a ghost. I felt freaking awesome when I did that. "Ha ha, take that Cris Angel, you douchebag!" I said with a large smirk on my face. Tatsumi stared at me questioningly. "What, it's awesome."
"Okay, but maybe we should act normally for now, someone might see us." Tatsumi said.
"Fine." I sighed. We walked down the hall while looking around. A doctor with black hair, green eyes, and an angular face structure stopped us.
"May I help you?" He asked.
"Oh yes, we're looking for Amaya Black." I said. When I said her name, he had blushed and I narrowed my eyes.
"I'm . I-uh- treated Miss Black. Why do you ask for her?" Dr. Ito asked.
Well…I'm her sister. I couldn't find her and I saw her on the news. I would have gotten here sooner, but transportation is very hard for me and…"I looked at Tatsumi and back at Dr. Ito. "…my boyfriend. Is she here?"
"No. She has been adopted." Dr. Ito said, as if he was disappointed.
"Adopted?! She's seventeen and a half years old! She'll be eighteen in March! Why is adoption necessary?!"
"Calm down miss. I don't like it any more than you do." Dr. Ito said.
"Who adopted her?" I asked more calmly.
"Oriya Mibu." Dr. Ito said. I froze and immediately thought Muraki. She better be safe, and that bastard had better not touch her!
I turned and walked down the hall, too in shock to say thank you to the kind doctor that cared for Amaya. I walked all the way down the stairs and out in silence. I stopped walked when I got across the street to the other sidewalk. Tsuzuki and Hisoka then appeared at my sides.
"What did you find out?" Hisoka asked.
"…Amaya was adopted by…Oriya." I forced out. Everyone except me and Tatsumi gasped.
"But that's Muraki's friend!" Tsuzuki said.
"I know." I looked down at the sidewalk and sighed. "You know what we must do guys. Let's pay Oriya a visit." I said darkly and punched my palm. I might have let my anger take control of that action, because I punched too hard and my palm stung. "…Ouch." I whimpered lightly.
Tsuzuki laughed at me and I got annoyed, punching his arm. "Ow! Izan-kun!" Tsuzuki yelped.
Kun? Wait, I'm no Mr. or Ms., but Izan-kun? Huh, I could get used to that. Besides that, I guess I'll get to the end of my point of view with that combat phase again.
"Well like I said before, let's pay Oriya a little visit." I said.
"Hey, can we at least get some food? I'm starving!" Tsuzuki said in the midst of my monologue and I agreed with a nod.
Let's pay Oriya a little visit…after we get breakfast." I rephrased.
(Amaya's POV)
"Ama-chan, come out of the bathroom, please." Oriya begged. I locked myself in the bathroom, not coming out until Muraki left. "Amaya."
"Is he still here?" I asked.
"…Yes, but he won't hurt you, I promise." Oriya said.
"No! That's not good enough!" I heard Oriya sigh from outside the bathroom door. "I'm sorry."
"No, it's alright." I didn't want to disobey my guardian, but I was afraid. I am naïve. Oh, I hate it when Izanami's right! She always said: 'Don't worry Gothy. Your naïve mind is too innocent to understand.' I sighed.
"If he is near, can you tell him to come to the door?" I asked.
Oriya didn't answer; instead, Muraki's voice came from the other side.
"I'm here, love."
"…Don't come near me when I come out."
"No." He simply answered.
"But, I'm hungry!" I whined. I heard Muraki say 'naïve' to Oriya. "Stop calling me that!" I sighed, feeling my stomach growl.
"I don't wanna eat in here, it's so unsanitary, but I don't wanna lose blood! Please, Muraki, I need food."
"…Fine. But under one condition. You must sign the peace treaty of our relationship." I rather sign this than starve in a bathroom.
"I'm sliding it under the door." A black inked pen rolled under the door and the bottom half of the sheet peaked out. I signed it and rolled the pen back under the door.
I unlocked the door and then opened it slowly. Muraki smiled at me while rolling the paper up. "Excellent." He said.
"Where's Oriya?" I asked.
"Oh, he's in the kitchen, making breakfast of course." Muraki replied. I watched him for a few moments and then hurried to the kitchen.
I ate the last of my chocolate chip pancakes and finished off the cold milk.
"Mmm, that was good, Oriya. But you shouldn't have lightened up on the chocolate chips."
Oriya laughed slightly and almost stopped immediately. This had slightly concerned me. "Well Oriya, are we going shopping today?"
"Oh-uh, no. You and Kazutaka are." Oriya said and I was confused. "And…you will be living with him for now on."
"What, why?!" I asked, standing.
"I am no longer your guardian, Amaya. Kazutaka is." He said as if everything was alright. This situation was not good at all. "You must get ready, Take a shower and put on the clothes hanging up. Muraki will drive you."
"…No…no! I'm not going with him!" I yelled. Oriya turned to me, not surprised with my reaction. "…I'm not going, Oriya."
"Amaya, you have to. You signed the adoption papers." A familiar voice said. I turned to see Muraki. "So you have to go!"
"No!" I ran past him and into my room. I slammed the side door and looked at it. I hid myself under the covers and wished that Izanami was with me.
…..I felt dirty typing this up. Damn it, I HATE writing Muraki so MUCH. Anyway, who knows what will happen in the next chapter of this? Will Izanami get there in time? You'll have to wait to find out!
