A Crimson Road [Takashi/Hisoka]

[Kago]

Takashi was sitting in the living room, waiting for more then one thing. When he saw Hisoka come into the room. He didn't like how that smile he had, faded as soon as he was soon as he was seen. He frowned at that action himself. What did the boy have to be unhappy about.

The question he asked, it answered everything. There was no need to ask a thing. The boy was disappointed to see him. His assumptions there had been right. The boy had wanted him gone. That was his assumption. Probably to escape. He wouldn't doubt that being a possibility.

"I have the day off," He spoke this standing up, folding his arms, a faint frown obviously set upon his features. "I'm sorry to have ruined any escape plans you had." The way he sounded, that could be the only reason for his disappointment.

"Hisoka," He spoke the boys name, moving to approach him. "I noticed, something isn't here." He had taken the time to look around. "What did you do with it?" He referred to the missing vase he did not see. Surely, the boy did something with it, in order to spite him. But, he had no idea what that item meant to him. There would be dire consequences if he didn't find it unharmed.

It shouldn't be too long, before Manawa arrived. Then he expected the people to fix the window, and the wall to come in shortly. During that time, he would have to make sure Hisoka was on his best behavior. The same went for him. Couldn't have people knowing his private business.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka was about to ask him if he wanted to go out for breakfast with him when Takashi began to ask him if he ruined any escape plans... Escape....? What was he talking about....? He wasn't going to try to escape..... He shook his head at him and began to try and explain himself... Then Takashi asked what he did with it.... Did with what?

"Takashi.... I wasn't going to run.... I though last night explained that.... And what did I do with what? What's missing Takashi...?" He Was extremely confused as to what on earth he was actually talking about.... Looking around he couldn't figure out what he was talking about! He shook his head at him and rubbed his temples....

"I thought things were different.... But I guess not... I'm just going to go do the dishes... Oh, and if anythings missing.... I told you someone was in the house.... I told you someone got in... Why do you think i was outside in a towel....?" He walked over into the kitchen and ran the faucet. There was some dishes to do... But not a lot... He didn't want the house a mess if there were people coming over to fix things... What was he going to do once they came over. H might just go out in the backyard and poke around... If he wasn't mistaken there was a rather exotic garden out back...

He shook his head to himself as he began to clean the dishes. Angry he dropped all the plates stacked together into the water making it splash a little and clank, but nothing broke....

"I thought he was different... I thought he changed his thinking.... But... I guess he's never going to change.... Fine then... If he won't, I won't!" He left the dishes where they were and headed towards the backdoor... Damn.... Copper... Was every door handle copper...? Not the bedroom's though... But that didn't mean Takashi had any intention on replacing it... He shook his head and walked back into the kitchen and sighed at the sink....

"Damn it.... I can't even enjoy the garden...." He was frustrated...

[Kago]

Takashi wasn't sure what to make of what the boy said. He didn't seem to know what was missing. Was he playing stupid? Just like with, how he said he wasn't running away. Then again, he supposed he had jump to conclusion. He was good with making out facts. But Hisoka always seemed to throw that to the wind. Everything involving him...it just got him so frustrated. He couldn't quite think straight.

The fact he noted now, frowning, as he saw Hisoka leave, mentioning something about cleaning the dishes. If all the was the truth, he would need to give an apology. Considering last night, he noted when Hisoka left his room. He had gotten up in time to see the boy hadn't gotten far. He was still in a towel. It wouldn't have been very sane to run off like that. But then, a desperate person wouldn't mind running naked. That was how he saw it.

All he could say, he was sure of. Was that Hisoka had yet to go far from his home. Perhaps, he could believe him there. Or perhaps he just hadn't been quick enough to leave. He couldn't be sure.

With that missing item now. The vase. He grimaced at that. Where was it? Who would take it? The boy hadn't. He could tell, now that he thought about it. The fact that he saw him the way he was. Too weak to do anything. He saw no sign of the vase. Unless, it was broken in the front yard. Could it be? He would have to look. Then, there was a high chance, the boy had done it. And lied. He didn't want to assume that. He would wait, and see for himself.

Takashi was thinking over all of this, at the same time, he heard noise from the sink.Hisoka. What was he doing. Was he done with the dishes. It didn't sound that way. He would check. Moving to the kitchen, he noted the boy wasn't there from afar. Where did he go now. Surely, not outside. he had been by the window, the boy hadn't come that way.

Entering the kitchen, he found himself frowning. The dishes were still in the sink. So much for cleaning. Well, he didn't expect the boy to clean. He went ahead and placed them into the dishwasher. He wasn't going to bother and wash them by hand. It just took a minute or so to actually start the wash, then he moved off. He intended to search for the boy, but a knock on the door stopped him.

Was it- No. It wasn't. He could tell without looking. Seemed it was time to get that window and wall fixed. It was a thought he had, when he moved towards the front door. Opening it and letting in two men, who had come to fix the window. He could see they had the replacement in hand. There was actually a third guy as well. One to fix that wall. Even though he was sure he could fix it himself. This just made things easier.

"It's right this way," Takashi went ahead and lead the guys to the window, before moving towards the back, to his room, where he would have the wall fixed.

[lacrymosa]

Standing there at the sink he heard The front door open... Hisoka poked his head in through the doorway from the kitchen to the living room. There were three men there... Two to fix the window and one to fix the hole in the wall in Takashi's room... He hoped that he wasn't also replacing the door handle on the bedroom door... That would cause a problem for him indefinately.

He turned his head and went back to the dishes as Takashi led the other down to the bedroom. He seemed to be in conversation with him as the others began working on the window... He soon finished the dishes and walked out into the living room... The door was open... Good.... Fresh air... He walked over and stood in front of the door. and basked in the cool wind that came in....

The air stopped.... Why? He opened his eyes and looked up. A man who was about the size of Takashi and looked near about the same stood in front of him.... This must be who his assistant was..... Manawa? He figured that was his name... He stepped as if he been burned.... He was also about to step out onto the porch to enjoy it all over... But Manawa stepped in and shut the door tightly... Hisoka sighed....

"Takashi... Another guest is here for you! I think it's your assistant. Come quick." It sounded like an order but it was really just a statement. Hisoka turned so he could go back into the kitchen to sweep. He figured it was something that could occupy his time. Did Manawa know that he wasn't allowed outside...? Did he know everything? He hoped not...

[Kago]

Takashi was in his bedroom, when he heard Hisoka call for him. So far, the man in his bedroom, was making quick work of the wall. It didn't seem like it was going to take too long before the man here was done. He figured he could leave him alone, and expect to see him back in the front. For now, that was here he had to be.

Manawa, he was standing there, staring at the boy. His eyes a dark silver color. That looked for Takashi, while at the same time, staying on Hisoka. He knew the boy's name. He did not know him personally, but he had heard everything from Takashi. The boy really was cute, but was he worth keeping. He sounded like far too much trouble. But then, if he thought differently, really thought differently, he would have convinced Takashi to let the boy go, and not help him.

The Vampyre was out from the back within minutes, he had come to spot a familiar face, one that had him smiling. "Manawa." He spoke the mans name, actually coming up to him, putting his arms about him, for a quick embrace. One that seemed to linger for a few seconds. All the while that happened, Manawa held a faint smirk upon his lips, while his gaze, for some reason, went to Hisoka.

Seconds after the embrace was over, Manawa had his gaze on Takashi. "Takashi, my friend." He smiled, just a bit, as he spoke. "I see it looked as if your...pet here, was trying to get outside." Now note, he didn't say he was trying to get away, merely that he was going out where it seemed he shouldn't be.

"Was he now," This was Takashi speaking. Frowning as he looked back at Hisoka. "Well, I thank you for informing me." He imagined, Manawa, had something to do with him being inside again. "That remind me, I need to...punish him." That last word, it was spoken in a low tone. So only he, Manawa, and Hisoka heard.

"Oh, for just not or...last night." Yes, Manawa had heard what happened. "It doesn't matter." He suddenly held up a hand and spoke. Using that same hand, to run through his snow white hair. "I insist I help you though, it sounds like hes very...disobedient." From what he had heard so far, it seemed the boy needed to be taught to behave.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka stood there and smiled at the embrace. The two men really cared about each other... Who was he to go and say rude things... He seemed and felt like he was nice.... But the way he looked at him.... Made him feel like.... Like prey.... Those two should be together shouldn't they? They look like they compliment each other rather well. He was smiling at the embrace between them both.... Then it ended... He was smiling at them both. Then Manawa told Takashi something that wasn't quite right.... He wasn't trying to get outside! He was smelling the fresh air...

"I wasn't going outside... I was standing here getting some fresh air which I have long missed... And I am no one's Pet...." It was low and he tried to make himself sound as if he wasn't one to be messed with, also emphasizing on the P in pet..... Hisoka wasn't at all scary or intimidating and that saddened him... And he froze.... Takashi was still going on about punishment...? For what!? He didn't need any punishment! He needed to be left alone!

Hisoka began to step back from the two as they conversed... He didn't like this.... Didn't like the feel they were giving off... It felt... Suffocating.... Then it hit him... Manawa insisted he help! No! Th.... That would mean... Hisoka stopped at that moment just staring at the two.... He wasn't going to was he? Where would they go!? The room is occupied... The front is as well... Then there was that garden miasma in the back full of who knows what.... Probably carnivorous plants...

"No... No...." Hisoka kept his voice low so the others couldn't hear him but Takashi and Manawa. "No I say.... No punishment... I didn't do anything..." Truth is Manawa scared him just a little... And the fact that he offered to help was over the top bad... He could feel himself shake a little... God this man was the living incarnate of intimidating... He just wanted to go and hide... But he couldn't.... That would be a childish thing to do...

[Kago]

Takashi had his lavender hues, set on Hisoka. Hearing what the boy said. He was always denying something. Was he getting fresh air? That was what Hisoka claimed. But what he he was lying. He found it amusing, how Manawa had called the boy his pet. He had never referred to him like that before. He wasn't thinking to change that.

"Please Manawa, I consider him my lover." He didn't love a pet. But a very stubborn, childish, no longer living, boy. Although, he was alive enough for him. If he was a zombie, then there wouldn't have been the possibility of a relationship.

Manawa didn't seem very pleased by Takashi's statement. Which only showed with him frowned, just a bit. Takashi hadn't seen though, he was still looking at the boy. Perhaps, he didn't like the idea of those two being lovers. "Alright...lover, if that's how close you two are." He held a passive tone. Leaving his emotions unreadable through his words.

The boy, he didn't seem to keen on being punished. Something, Manawa noted. And he was enjoying that. "Hisoka," He spoke his name, at the same time he slipped an arm around his partners waist. On wouldn't quite think they were simple close friends. "Takashi, have you told him yet?" Manawa looked towards Takashi now, who was in a close hold, from the side, not the front. They were still standing side by side, both looking at Hisoka.

Takashi, he didn't see to have any problem with his current position. For good reasons to. Not something he was going to verbally mention though. "Told him..." It seemed the Vampyre, wasn't quite sure until he saw Manawa, point towards Hisoka's abdomen. "I have not, but I find it unlikely." Takashi began, but then Manawa went on to speak next.

"I think you should now, just in case." Manawa seemed to insist. And Takashi looked thoughtful, he was really considering it.

"Hisoka," Takashi spoke this time, consider the next time we make love, you are able to bear my children, and at some point you will." That was the end of that explanation, at least, Takashi didn't feel the need to say more. "Now about that punishment," He began to say, and then, as if timed, the man from the bedroom came out. Manawa was the one to let go of the hold he had on Takashi, and move towards the man.

"I'll sign it," Before the man who fixed the wall could speak, Manawa spoke first. Seeing he held a clip board, with a pen. He took it from the man, signing at the place appointed, and gave it back to him. "Thank you for your service," That was all Manawa said, before the man took his leave, walking out and closing the door behind him. The men at the window were still at work.

"It seems, the bedroom is free." Takashi said this, suddenly coming forward and grabbing the boys hand. "Come Hisoka," He pulled the boy along with him, heading straight to the back, passing Manawa, who followed from behind. A visible smirk set upon his lips.

As soon as Takashi walked into the bedroom, he could see, the spot on the wall was indeed fixed. "Sit," He spoke to Hisoka, pointing to the bed, before turning to look back at Manawa, who closed the bedroom door behind him.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka had crossed his arms as if to protect himself from Manawa's gaze... The man was intimidating and rather scary... And... He knew too much about him... Which he didn't like... Hisoka seemed to soften as Takashi called them lovers.... True... to an extent he did love him... But...Was that simply put just another illusion caused by Takashi? He sort of felt like how Manawa sounded... If that's how close we really were... Indeed...

Manawa seemed to be enjoying himself... Hisoka looked at him when he spoke his name... He raised an eyebrow to the man... The way he put his arm around Takashi was the embrace of a lover's indefinitely... It didn't seem to bother him at all.... Wait... Told him yet...? Told him what? That they were lovers as well? Well... It wouldn't be a surprize... The just in case sounded that way...

Hisoka thought that what Takashi was going to say was... 'Consider next time Manawa will be joining in the pleasure.' But he was very wrong... His heart seemed to fall and break... P..Pregnant? How was that so! He was a man! Hisoka put his arms around his abdomen in shock... He wanted to go die... Hah... Like he could...

"How....How is that possible... I'm a man! Women are supposed to be bearers... Not men! How is that possible... Takashi.....Manawa...." He spoke their names softly as if asking for help... But there was none to offer... Then Takashi mentioned punishment again... Oh No.... Well they would have to wai-.... The man from the room walked out.... Oh no... It's free... He saw Manawa take the clip board and sign something... Takashi grabbed Hisoka by the hand and towed him towards the bedroom...

They entered the room and Takashi simply told him to sit.... He felt like a dog... And now... He felt even more like a prisoner... Invisible chains held him there... He didn't like it... He sat down and saw Manawa shut the door... Oh God... He really is going to join in... What were they going to do...? That thought scared him deeply.... He was trapped... Like a dog and two dog catchers.... There wasn't anything more he could do....

[Kago]

Standing in his bedroom now, Takashi looked back to Manawa. Who stood by his side. Looking down at Hisoka. His little lover, his...mate. Yes, he would call him that. It was a word he only heard amongst animals. Referring to when two were intimate. But it was also a word his father used. Referring to his bearer. His mother. The male who gave birth to him. He wondered how they were doing. He would have to give them a call. He really was horrible with a phone. It was much easier to speak in person with others.

"You should feel honored that Takashi would have you bear his children," Manawa spoke, having heard the boys earlier comment. He wasn't happy with it. "Even as we speak, what if you are with child?" He seemed curious to know. Even he knew Takashi had been intimate with the boy. "If not now, I have no doubt you will be soon." From how Takashi described the things that went on between them, he was thinking things would work out that way.

Takashi, looking towards Hisoka for a moment, was curious, as to what the boy thought of that. He looked so cute before, when he mentioned the news. He imagined he would make a...decent mother. Seeing he would be the one to give birth. Just not in the way a woman would.

"I think that's something to discuss, after the punishment." He wasn't going to forget about that. Even if he wanted to talk more about it. He did at least expect Hisoka to answer to what Manawa said.

"I want to let you know, why your being punished." He wasn't such an unfair person. He did everything for a reason. "It's not for the mess you made, or the fact you really seem to know just how to...tick me off." It was true, the boy did things without meaning to. Or so he assumed.Hearing how the boy had good intentions.

"Its because you insulted Manawa." He did not forgive the boy for that. "And how you showed clear disrespect for me." He did not appreciate how the boy closed the door on him last night. He was very tempted to break it down. The door to the bathroom. Instead, he had simply damaged the wall. Not for that, but earlier. He really had no desire to damage his own home.

"Takashi," Manawa spoke, looking to the Vampyre. "Allow me to think of a suitable punishment." And Manawa had many things in mind. But he was aware, he could only do so much to the boy. He had heard of his healing abilities, that was good. It meant he didn't have to hold back as much as he would if the boy was human. "You should take him, perhaps conceive tonight." If the boy wasn't with child. That wasn't the punishment though. He had other things in mind. It was just one of the things to do tonight.

Well, Manawa wanted to see the conception of Takashi's child. It was the perfect chance to. Was that strange? He didn't care for the boy. He did however, care for Takashi, and he always ensured that Takashi got what he wanted. Personally, this was just him doing that. Although, he had some dislike towards the boy for that very reason. He would have hoped the boy met some...unfortunate end. But he hadn't, and once he had Takashi's child within in, even he had to a bit.

When it really came down to it though. Manawa was a tad jealous. Alright, maybe more then that. The fact he cared deeply for his child hood friend, would be obvious to anyone who watched the two closely, or noted their past.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka sat there as he stared down at the floor... He snapped his head up as Manawa began to speak to him... Feel honored...? How could he feel honored to bear someone's child who is keeping him against his wishes... And how was that possible...? A man to bear someone's child... It just couldn't happen! But then he was human... He came from a world where women were the only ones to bear.... He stared up at him shocked... He could be...?

"That's impossible! I'm a guy... I'm unable to do that... Aren't I? Why are you talking like that! My anatomy doesn't allow it!" he was cut off when Takashi began to talk about the punishment again.... Well... At least he had a valid reason... He did insult Manawa and he was wrong for it..... But disrespect...? How could respect someone.... Who didn't respect him enough to let him be!

"I'm... I'm sorry for that... I really am... But I was angry... I was angry and hurt..." Then Manawa spoke... HE would think of something... Hisoka's eyes widened in obvious fear... He knew Manawa was much more intense than Takashi... And that scared him... Then Manawa's words made that fear coil in his stomach... He was going to watch.... No! He... He shouldn't watch! That's....

"That's Private! If that were to occur you shouldn't be here!" truth is... He'd feel as if he were completely exposed... Because truthfully he would be fully exposed... Hisoka had slowly moved away from the edge to curl up to himself on the middle of the bed... Why was everyone out for him...? and now he was trapped between these men and a rather hard place... He didn't like feeling trapped... And it seemed that Manawa knew everything.... Wait... By everything... Everything...?

"Takashi.... How much did you tell Manawa...? You've seemed to have told him everything... Even... About me...? My.... Past...?" He seemed to be lost for words at the last part of it... What if Manawa did know about him...? The curse.... The.... Oh god... Hisoka stared down at his hands that shook... He seemed to be trapped in a loop of bad karma... Even in death... He seemed to stare up at Takashi as if pleading,... Then back to Manawa like a frightened little animal...

[Kago]

Takashi thought to straighten a few things out here. Hearing how Hisoka, clearly knew nothing about how babies were born. At least from males. He was aware, it wasn't something that happened amongst humans. It seemed only fair to give an explanation.Though, he would prefer the boy just accept things without explanation.

"Hisoka, where my father is from, its quite normal for males to have children," That felt like explanation enough, but then he thought to add more. "Since I had sex with you, it has made you able to bear my children." He didn't feel the need to go into anatomy and all that. "Just accept that you will be with child." He really didn't feel like explaining it, or speaking anymore on the subject. Even he could see, Hisoka wasn't thinking positively on the matter.

Manawa frowned a bit at Hisoka, hearing Takashi haven spoken. "Do you think that's really a proper excuse?" Manawa asked this, looking from Takashi to Hisoka. He was speaking to the boy. "That does not mean you will be so easily forgiven." The boy must have thought things were easily solved. Although, the apology was cute.

"Private." Manawa repeated the word, his expression suddenly passive as he looked off to the side. "There's very little that is private between us." He went ahead and admitted that. Clearly, he boy didn't know how close they were. They weren't lovers, not at the moment. Perhaps not anytime in the near future, not with that boy around. And it shouldn't be surprising, how close they were. It was bound to happen eventually. It was yet another reason, why Manawa had to see green. To dislike the boy.

Takashi had his gaze set on Manawa when he heard the boy speak. He heard his name. The question. "I didn't tell him every little detail." He just told the important things. About what happened to Hisoka. How he had been hurt. By this other doctor. Just someone to look out for. Manawa hadn't seemed interested. He didn't seem to take a liking to the boy. He couldn't understand why.

"Remove your clothes boy," This was Manawa. "Before I do so for you, and I promise you I will not be gentle." It seemed he had no commentary, towards what Takashi had previously been talking about. He didn't think to do anything referring to the boys past. Not at this very moment.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka sat there still. As if trying to protect himself... He had said he was sorry... But knew that probably wasn't enough for those two. Though he had hoped... Then he saw Takashi sigh... What for? Men could not bear children... He stayed as far away from Manawa as he could as he stared at the men.. Then Takashi spoke...

Where he came from men could bear children.... Because he had been taken he could now bear children...? What kind of world was he dragged into... And then he was told to just accept it... It was a little hard to just accept something that has been a certain way since he was about.... 4...

"I.... I...." Hisoka turned his eyes back down to the sheets... " I'll try...." Then Manawa spoke up again... He shouldn't be here... Why did he have to be kept here like a caged animal! A proper excuse.... He had said he was sorry.... Things should be easily solved.... But with these two! Nothing was easy....

He kept his stare on Manawa as he spoke about private... If they were so close why weren't they together!? They obviously liked each other to that extent... So why was he here? Why weren't they together... Hardly anything private between them... Which meant.... Yes.... Takashi must have told him about his past... And that's when he burst out still feeling as if he did tell him....

Takashi soon put his mind at ease letting him know there wasn't every detail.... What if he bore Muraki's child? The man must've known what Takashi was basically forcing him to accept... Those were horrible memories.... One's he hadn't wished to revisit.... Then he turned back to Manawa who spoke rather impatiently...

"Remove my clothes...? In front of you....? No... I... I can't..... Not in front of you.... Never in front of you... Why don't you strip for Takashi? You both seemed perfectly matched for each other... It's bound to happen right...?" Hisoka's empathy allowed him to practically know what was going through Manawa's head... He wasn't able to use it on Takashi and this was a slight moment where he was able to break through Manawa's inner defenses... But soon after he was blocked out... Damn... At least he got that much out... If he was going down.... He wasn't going without a fight....

With that in mind and with Manawa slightly taken aback from speaking his own thoughts, Hisoka jumped up and pushed pasthim to get to the door to get out. He wanted out so he could let Manawa in... It was true... Those two were perfect for each other...

[Kago]

Manawa cast a frown down at Hisoka. Hearing what Hisoka said. Towards being denied what he had asked. How dare the boy think he coul- Wait. Where did the boy get that from. Asking why he shouldn't strip. Of course he was shocked to hear, what sounded like his own thoughts, his feelings, voiced. How dare the boy say such. He could only imagine, it was due to him being an empath. Takashi had told him about that. But still...

While Manawa gave a pause, Takashi was still free to ask. Glaring at Hisoka, having heard clearly what the boy said. "Hisoka," He spoke the boys name in a low tone, coldly, as he quickly moved and grabbed the boy by the arm. "You won't be going anywhere." That said, he threw the boy back onto the bed.

"You will apologize to Manawa," As soon as the boy was on the bed, he moved to place a hand around his throat. Making sure to have a fairly tight, but loose hold. He merely wanted to momentarily block his pathway to breathe. The boy needed to learn his place.

Manawa found himself glaring, as soon as he got himself back together. He was more then a little upset here. But he felt a bit better, seeing what Takashi did. He decided not to say anything though. He wasn't exactly sure how to comment on the boy's words. Was it not obvious that Takashi held more interest in him. He was basically rubbing it in his face when he mentioned them being together. Not that they hadn't been already. He just didn't care to talk about it.

Right now, Manawa very much wanted to strangle the boy. Or throttle. Just to silence him. But he knew Takashi would not like that. He had a thing for the boy. Even saying he wanted him to bear his children. Did the boy think he enjoyed hearing that? He didn't. And he grew more furious just thinking.

One thing he could say for sure though, was that, he would much rather do away with the boy, then just let him go. He would not have anyone having Takashi's affection. He just couldn't help it now. He wanted Takashi to have what he wanted. And if that was Hisoka then so be it. He would be sure to think of a punishment that would make the boy suffer.

As Manawa considered that, he noted something on the floor. The cursed Witches Hair. He wasted no time, moving to pick it up. Looking it over briefly, before simply keeping it in his arms, and looking over at Hisoka.

[lacrymosa]

Hisoka had almost reached the door handle when he heard Takashi growl behind him. Cold... Low tone.... Oh no... He knew he shouldn't have said that! He shouldn't have let that thought pass his lips. He turned to face Takashi as he grabbed him roughly and threw back against the bed... He was used to it by now... But what he hadn't anticipated was Takashi nearly choking him. He grabbed onto his hand and tried to pry him off of him. God!

His heart raced as he struggled for every breath... He listened to Takashi order him to apologize... He knew... He was lower than these two... Knew he was... For lack of better words, just the little woman... He hated to admit that but that's how he felt... Being ordered to accept that he was able to get pregnant... That he was taken once or twice every night so far... Then he snapped back from thinking...

He looked over at Manawa who glared at him.... Tears pooled at the edge of his eyes as he stared at him... He looked rather pathetic right then... Was there... A Spark? A spark of something towrds both Takashi and Manawa at that moment.... Strange... He began heaving and hyperventilating as Takashi held his hold on him...

"I.... I'm.... S...sorry... Mana.....Wa.... I... Didn't... Me....Mean to....De....Delve.... I....I'm.... Sorry....." He was sorry for delving into someone like that....But it wasn't like it was something he could control... He just hoped Takashi would ease up and let go soon.... He found himself squirming to try and get himself free from his grip... He wanted to breath right again...

[Kago]

Takashi let go, only after Hisoka gave his full apology. He stood over him then, staring down at the boy on the bed. Obviously looking displeased. He said nothing for awhile, simply appearing to glare down at Hisoka. His thoughts and feeling were unknown, other then the fact he didn't appear to be happy.

Manawa was the first one to speak first. "Apology...not accepted." He continued to glare down at Hisoka, before suddenly frowning and letting his expression turn passive. "Hisoka," He spoke the boys name, frowning just a bit. "Do you want to see me and Takashi together?" To boy really touched onto a sensitive subject with him. Mentioning how he felt for the other male in the room.

It wasn't exactly something new. Takashi knew Manawa cared for him deeply. But anything more on the details between them were private. They were very close friends. Occasionally lovers. But, it was clearly not mean to be. Right? The fact they were all together like this, should have said otherwise. And he simply had no wish to discuss it.

"This probabaly means, you don't care for Takashi at all." Clearly the boy didn't deserve the other males affection. And yet, he got it anyways. "I don't see wh-" He started to speak, but then there was a knock on the door.

Takashi was the one who walked to the bedroom door, only opening it wide enough to slip out. Not bothering to say a word as he walked out into the hall. Moving out to the living room with one of the guys who were changing the glass in the window. It should have been obvious it was them. And not only were they done, they wanted someone, the owner of the house to take a look at it. Which Takashi was doing now. He hadn't bothered to consider any consequences to leaving the two alone. He knew Manawa wouldn't do anything too bad.

Manawa watched as Takashi slipped out. Listening to his retreating foot steps, before he looked back to Hisoka. They were alone. He kept his passive expression, with his faint frown, and said nothing right away. He did however, hold the Cursed Witches Hair up, for the boy to see. Perhaps he planned to use it.
