Between Two Hearts

Chapter 1: A Shinigami-in-training???

~~~~~

"Hisoka…" a voice said.

"Who are you?…" he asked.

"Hisoka…" the soft voice whimpered.

"I said, who are you?!" about to be pissed off.

"HISOKA!?! TASUKETE!?!" the voice cried. "AHHHH!?!?!"

The boy suddenly woke up from the bed. He held his chest as he gasped heavily.

"What the…?" he said as he bowed down his head.

He stared at the window, noticing the darkness that engulfed the whole city.

"It's not yet morning…"

He pulled his blanket and went back to his sleep.

~~~~~

It was the year 2002 and the season of autumn in Japan. It was already morning and Hisoka was called for a meeting at the office. He was with that purple-eyed brunette. While walking towards it, he yawned and his eyes were still seemed shut.

Tsuzuki asked, "Are you alright? Didn't get a good night sleep?"

Hisoka shook, "No, I'm fine. Don't worry…"

They entered the office and saw Konoe with someone they're not familiar with.

Konoe began, "Hisoka, I have an assignment for you."

"Huh? Me???" he said.

He introduced the girl with short ebony hair and ruby-red eyes. She was wearing a school uniform and was carrying her backpack. She looked serious and snobbish.

"This is Kageyami Saino. She's just 14 years old. She's the new Shinigami this year but she's still in training."

"In training???" he asked.

"Yes. And I give you the responsibility to take care of her," Konoe said.

"What?!?"

"So his job was to baby sit with some kid," Tsuzuki said.

The girl coldly said, "I'm not a kid anymore! Why are people so darn annoying?!…"

She turned to her side.

"Gomen," Tsuzuki said with a forced smile. "What an attitude…"

"What a brat…" Hisoka thought.

The girl abruptly stared at the boy, coldly glaring at him. Noticing her, he just turned back to Konoe and ignored her.

He sighed, "Alright. I'll do it…"

Konoe said. "Ok. That concludes the meeting. You're already dismissed."

The three went out of the room. When Hisoka shut the door, he stared at Saino defiantly.

"I'll be leaving you for a while. I'll just go somewhere," Tsuzuki told Hisoka.

He went off to the opposite direction. When Tsuzuki vanished, everyone was as if turned frank.

"Don't ever bet that we would get along together!?" he bluntly told her.

"Of course I won't, Kurosaki Hisoka," she smirked.

"Why you?!" he thought. He clenched his fist, trying to hold back his anger. "Didn't you know that I didn't slept well last night?! That's why I don't feel well today and yet your giving me a bad morning!?!"

She suddenly said, "Well, that's not my problem…"

"Could she actually read my mind like I do?" he thought.

"HISOKA!?! TASUKETE!?!" he remembered his dream.

She sighed and said, "This sucks… I'm going to go somewhere else. I'm dead bored hanging around with you."

She suddenly ran away from him and vanished.

"Hey! Wait!" he followed her. "She's really one brat…"

The girl was running nimbly around the busy street while Hisoka was catching up with her.

"Hey! I said wait!" he yelled.

The girl still kept running. It was like they were playing tag until Hisoka lost her at the narrow alley.

"Where did she go?" he asked himself.

While walking continuously forward, he suddenly stepped unto something. He moved his feet back and looked at it. It was round and shiny.

"A silver bracelet???"

It was a silver bracelet, with a small sapphire stone at the center.

When he picked it up, he saw something written at the back of it.

"Yumeki… Sakura…" he read. "Must be the owner's name…"

Suddenly, he heard voices in his mind.

"… I'll treasure this forever…"

"… especially that it looks like my eyes…"

"… because the sapphire stone symbolizes myself…"

"… even if they don't see me as the sapphire itself…"

He thought, "What could she mean?…"

"I better give it back to her… This must be very valuable to her…"

He put it in his pocket and remembered Saino.

"I forgot. I'm after that brat!" he ran again and searched for her.

~~~~~

It was already sunset but still she can't find her.

"Ugh! She's really giving me a hard time…" he was already tired.

When he passed by the dock, he saw her leaning at the fence and watching the sun as it sets. He smiled and went to her.

He said, "Oi!"

She turned to him.

He told her, "Didn't you know that I was been looking all over for you?!"

She smirked, "Of course I do! But what I don't know is why you followed me here…"

"Of course to look for you!?!"

"And why are you looking for me?"

"Because I would be responsible if anything happens to you…"

He noticed a huge cut at her right wrist.

"What happened on your wrist?" he asked.

She looked at it and hid it on her back.

She retorted, "Nothing!… It's just a scratch… "

"If it's just a scratch, why are you hiding it from me?"

He gave his hand and was asking for her arm. The girl went a step away from him.

"What do you care?! I said it's nothing!"

"Ok! fine! If you say so…" he said.

The two of them turned to their side and a wind passed by. It was a bit quiet actually.

Still looking at his side, Hisoka softly said, "Let's go now. You have nowhere to go. You don't have any place to spend the night and it's going to get dark soon."

The girl just listened.

"Tsuzuki and I rented an apartment but only has two rooms. But…" he said. "… You could use my room for the meantime. While I stay with Tsuzuki at the other…"

The girl suddenly turned to him.

She sighed, "Alright. I guess I have no choice but to follow you. And also…"

Hisoka also turned to her.

She continued, "… I don't want anyone to think that I'm such a troublemaker."

She went toward him and said, "But still, mind your own business."

He sighed and walked together.

While they were walking, he asked.

"Sorry for asking but… what's the cause of your death?" the lime-eyed boy asked.

The girl stayed silent for a while.

She retorted, " I had fatal cuts. Somewhat like this…"

She showed the cut on her right wrist, which slowly regenerated.

She softly said, "If only I could go back to the living world, I might know the answer why it happened that way…"

The boy suddenly said, "Didn't you just say that you don't want to show it? How come you're doing so right now?"

She put it down and said, "It's because I came to think that it's no use hiding it from you… especially that you asked about my death…" She also asked, "What about you?"

"Well, with some incurable disease…" he said. "… which one person cursed on me…"

She suddenly asked, "Who is this person? Is it someone you don't get along with before?"

"No… Just nobody… I know you don't know him…" he softly said.

Abruptly, he heard voices again inside his mind.

"Ahhhh!?!" she cried.

She whimpered, "How come?… How come it's killing me like this?… I know this haven't happened before…"

The girl snapped him out of his trance, "Oi! Kurosaki-kun! Are you daydreaming in the middle of the street?!"

He stammered, "I-ie! Gomen…"

She sighed, "You're weird…"

He thought, "I forgot that… she doesn't know what my true ability is…"

He stopped and said, "Well, here we are."

To be continued…

*****

I know that Tsuzuki and Hisoka book only in hotels but… the story would be changed and the flow won't go so well. So I thought of an apartment on where at least they could stay, not that permanent though… But at least where the fun part of the story would start… from my opinion… -_-;;;

So what do you think? Should I continue it or just remove it? Please Review. –Reia
