I didn't want to hear it any more. I wanted to be deaf. Why were they doing this to me? Was I important or something? Okay I should probably tell you what is going on before you get too lost. Okay, okay, I need to calm myself down. You would too if you had gone through what I had. Here it goes.

I was dragged down into the shadows, it seemed to me that I had been pulled through some kind of trap door and lowered down in to some kind of catacombs. I would have ran soon as my feet touched the corroding stone floor but I was too week to. I have been struggling soon as they took me and the strange cobweb like substance around my mouth was making me dizzy, I think it had some kind of spores or order… well something to cause me to fall down when I had stood up.

My knees buckled as my head spun and throbbed. This sucked. Then I heard it, the voices of small children. It wasn't like your usual child, it sounded like the kids were far away whispering for you to come and play with them. The spider like demon grabbed me and hulled me off towards those whispers. Foot by foot, inch by inch I was being dragged closer and closer to that sound. The whispers where then taken back and melded with a melody of a music box. It sounded like a gentle lullaby. My mind screamed, yelled, clawed and went into spasms for it to stop. The melody continued with the children singing.

//Come and play.// They sung.

Something grabbed my ankle and tore at my clothes. Oh god, gods no, have it let go of me! Another hand joined the previous one as others joined those. They ripped and tore at the thin cloth material that was the only thing protecting my delicate flesh. I coiled into a ball trying to keep the hungry hands away. Much good that did.

Tsuzuki looked at Cid with amazement. The elf was healing just as fast as a shinigami. In a minute the guy would be just fine. Tsuzuki held the Irish elf close as the elf clung to him trying to choke out something.

"Shhh, you shouldn't be talking right now. Wait until you heal fully," the shinigami tried to sooth.

"Ne-ne-needle… M-m-m-my…"

"You're needle? What about it?"

"N-n-near… b-by…"

"Is that why you are healing so fast?"

Cid nodded. Tsuzuki didn't need to wonder why the blond was stammering with his speech, healing from something like that was very painful.

"Hold on, I might know where it is," Tsuzuki lay the full-grown elf down.

Soon as he started to run off, Cid grabbed his foot causing him to fall down flat on his face. "Hey!" the shinigami pulled his face off of the carpet. "What was that for?!"

"M-my needle," Cid said as he pulled something out of Tsuzuki's sole.

"Eh?" purple eyes looked over. "You mean it was on the bottom of my shoe? I must have stepped on it while going outside."

Cid was quick to thread the needle with one of his long golden hairs. He pulled it up so that it was in the middle of the golden mass and secured it.

Tsuzuki… Why are they doing this? I don't like this. I don't like this. My eyes were glazed over as I sat on my legs, reverently knelt. I was dressed in some kind of old attire it looked like old priest's clothes, they were white and heavy on my body. My hands were folded respectfully over my lap as they danced around me. There was about twelve of them, small and green with thin knobby limbs. Their eyes were not red but an eerie yellow orange that glowed in the dark. I could hear them as they danced about in a circle around me but even their song didn't drown out the sound of my heartbeat and the strange laughter of demonic sounding adults, children, and clowns. Then there was the persistent sound of someone walking around above me.

//Ka~~go~~me, Kagome//

The strange creatures sung joining hands.

//kago no naka no tori wa~//

Their green hands let go, breaking their link.

//itsu itsu deyaru//

They flipped up onto their hands and popped into the air. Pulling their heads and limbs into their strange shells.

//yoa ke no banni//

Now the masks that smiled, frowned, screamed and sang circled around me.

//tsuru to kame ga//

Click, clock, pitter patter when the sounds of the entinty above me.

//su betta//

Make them stop… I'm scared…

"Daddy," my mind went into my deep past. "Daddy, why do they whisper such things?"

"Why does whom whisper such things? Son, what are you talking about."

When I was five, my father had taken me to the graveyard to visit my sister or so he said. But I could hear them, people that hated our family. I didn't know why. I didn't understand why they would say such things then laugh strange giggles and silence their tongues after wards. I had taken hold of his leg as one of the voice scared me say strange things. That was the one time I felt my father actually care for me. That is my precious moment.

He had knelt down and placed his large hands on my shoulders. "Hisoka," he had said to me. "What did they say?"

"They… They said," I was so scared that I was about to cry. "They said that they needed me… and that they would take me away."

"Why do they need you, son?"

I wiped my eyes listening to the taunts. Then I moved in to grab onto my father's neck, I was too scared to tell him. I was too frightened to say, "Because I'm the only one that can deliver their leader." Back then I didn't know what deliver meant, I didn't know much of anything. I only knew that my father did care for me when he picked me up and shouted in a demanding voice, "You shall never have my boy!!" He then calmly walked out of the graveyard and we had never returned.

Now I know what they meant by 'deliver' they needed my energy in order to raise something. My energy was slowly being taken away and I could do anything about it as if my will was drained. I had stopped screaming long ago. Seeing the horror movies where the people scream and scream and no one hears them even though they are only in the next room… I thought that was really ridiculous… But now I know, I know that demons have the ability to silence screams so that only people in the room can hear you scream. So in short, I was their sacrifice.

Tsuzuki was practically vibrating, he had no idea where Hisoka was. Right then he wished that he had his lover's powers that way he could find out where the hell he was!! Cid was no real help only starring into the drying pool of blood. "Cid! We need to find him!" Tsuzuki was frantic.

"I know Tsuzuki-san. I know very well what they have planned for Kurosaki-san. But I must figure out where they had taken him," Cid said in an almost too calm voice.

"Planned?!" the shinigami grabbed the elf by the shoulders, "What do they have planned for him?"

Cid's calicle eyes glistened with knowledge, "Kurosaki-san is a very important person. Empaths are hard to come by, especially ones that have as much power as him."

"So they took him because of his abilities?"

"Not just that but his blood line as well. His family has inherited gifts but curses as well. The curse upon his family blood line is what makes him susceptible to them. This way they can take him, drain him of his energy, and resurrect their leader."

"W-what?"

"Tsuzuki-san… Kurosaki-san… is their sacrifice to raise the dark lord Saggutamus."

Tsuzuki gasped, that guy was a pain in the first place. There was no need to resurrect him.

"Well lets hurry up and find him before anything can happen to him!!"

"I've almost located him, I just need more time."

"How much time?"

"Less than a minute."

Purple eyes glowered, "Remember every second counts."

"I know, please move. I've tracked him half way so far, just let me finish."

Cid pushed Tsuzuki to the side and gazed down at the puddle again. That's when the shinigami understood. The elf was using the liquid as a looking glass, or crystal ball if you will.

Tsuzuki thought to himself.

It wouldn't stop, and I was getting tired. So tired, I wanted to sleep. It was cold down there at first but now it was getting warm. Why was it warm, father? I'm still scared. Is that wrong of me? Tsuzuki, I don't want to be here any more. I cupped my hands over my face and sobbed for the first time in years. "I'm scared," I sobbed so that only I could hear the words. "Tsuzuki."

Tsuzuki's eyes pulled at the sound, "I'm scared, Tsuzuki." He could hear him crying, and it was coming from below them.

"Tsuzuki-san what is it?" Cid asked standing up.

"I can hear him… I can hear Hisoka."

To be continued….

Tsuzuki: Hisoka! Hisoka!

Cid: Come one open your eyes kid!

Hisoka: Gomen ne… I couldn't be with you longer… Tsu… zu…..
