Piercing Through My Heart

Youkai Of Hearts: Hi kiddos welcome to chapter Nine of Piercing Through My Heart What will happen in this chapter, how will Haruka and Kantarou get to the bottom of this case, can I come up with any ideas!! Find out!!

My Heart Will Always Belong To You

“Kazumi! Kazumi!” the water spirit looked up to see a young man, with short chocolate brown hair, he was a small build with chocolate brown eyes, the spirit didn’t know what draw him to this boy, this staff member of the resort that took most of his home, he remembered meeting him like it was only yesterday, he would always hold this boy, always touch him and kiss him.

“Naoki, did you sneak out again?” Naoki lunged himself at the water spirit, nuzzling his head into his chest as he nodded, giggling sheepishly “I couldn’t wait to see you Kazumi, I just wanted to see you so bad” Kazumi smirked, pressing his lips lightly on to Naoki’s forehead.

“I wanted to see you too” they both kissed each other, their tongues touching each other in a fight for dominance, one that Kazumi easily won in, he loved this human no matter what any other spirit, demon or creature of the night says, he loved this human, loved to kiss him, to love him, he wanted Naoki, he wanted every part of him, his love, his heat, Naoki was his and he was going to protect him.

Well…he wanted to protect him anyways…

“Naoki…” the water spirit looked down on his hand, a ring was there, a blue sapphire ring was tucked on his finger. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you, I’ll give you peace of mind, I swear it”

Is there a limit to the amount of pain you feel for the disappearance to someone you once loved?

I tried to call your name, but you do not come to me…

I tried to find you, but I could not grasp your where bouts…

Why did someone have to take you away from me? Don’t they realise how important you are to me, my life, my light, my world, I loved you with all my heart, yet I could not find you…

With out you, my life doesn’t make sense and my life is nothing but a bad dream…

I’m lost without you

Normal Writing

Haruka ran a tanned hand through Kantarou’s hair, he was cute when he was sleeping and it was the afternoon now. He still couldn’t believe that he almost lost his lover today, he thought his heart was going to stop beating altogether if Kantarou had really died, that scared Haruka.

If Kantarou had died on him, what was Haruka going to do? How was he going to cope with the loss? He knew someday that was actually going to happen, but he didn’t want it to happen, yet what was Haruka going to do? Kantarou was a mortal, it was only in his human nature that he will one day disappear, vanish into total oblivion, the memories that he and Kantarou shared would be erased from Kantarou’s mind when it would cease to function.

The Tengu wrapped his arms around Kantarou and dragged him close, nuzzling his chin on to Kantarou’s silky silver hair, the feeling of his master in his arms, the smoothness of his skin, the smell all of it was right here, he had what he wanted, the one thing that was most precious to him of all. That was Kantarou

His master

His Friend

His Lover

“I can’t let you go…” Haruka whispered and just held Kantarou a little tighter so not to wake him from his peaceful slumber, he wondered if he did lose Kantarou, would he have winded up like that Water Spirit, so full of sadistic lust, if he lost Kantarou,? Would Haruka have lost control? Would he turn back to his original state? Would he cease to be Haruka and revert back to the Demon Eating Tengu? The thought of it was enough to scare Haruka.

“I don’t want my life to have no meaning…” Haruka whispered “I won’t let you get hurt again”

He really meant that, placing a light kiss on Kantarou’s right cheek.

Kantarou’s POV

I opened my eyes lightly and I was shocked to see all these cherry trees, I hate cherry trees, it had to be those type of trees, how’d I even get here in the first place? Last thing I remember was being with Haruka in the bedroom and…well lets not go there, I felt my head getting a bit sore thinking about it…

“Mm…” Wait a minute, I snapped out of that moment of thought anyway, where’s Haruka? Haruka was here with me a moment ago right? Haruka?

“Haruka! Haruka where are you, you here? Haruka!”

“Are you Kantarou?” I jumped, turning my head round and there were these lovely pairs, as lovely as Sugino’s, green eyes looking at me, chocolate brown hair draped over them, he looked like a model and his face was really cute, it reminded me of Suzu only it’s a guy, he was wearing the hotel staff uniform. “Yeah…who are you and why am I here?

The boy placed a hand unto his arm; he seemed a bit shy in speaking to me, until he finally looked at me seriously and replied

“My name is Naoki Tsubasa, a-and I use to work here…I…brought you here for a request, if you’ll hear me out…” he didn’t seem like a bad spirit so I nodded anyways. I needed something on this case or I won’t get paid. There was nothing evil about him…

“I-I want you to help Kazumi…please help Kazumi!” I jumped at the sudden outburst

“Kazumi?”

“He’s a water spirit…he’s my lover…right now he thinks I’m dead…” I looked at Naoki, he looked like he was about to fall apart and cry at any moment and inside my heart, I felt like I was going to break down and cry too, his feelings, these emotions, it feels like their flooding the whole area, the cherry blossoms were turning into a very dark blood red colour, even darker than the usual pink…

“I-If only I listened to him, I-I would’ve been together with him, I’m scared in case I’ll never see him again, please, please help us, please!” I wondered over to him, kneeling down and holding him by the shoulders before hugging him lightly, he needed comfort.

“But…where are you? Are you even alive? If so can you tell me where I can find you and I’ll help…” Naoki just seemed to cry even more, he nuzzled his head in to my chest, his hands clasped on to his, those tears were streaming never ending, it felt like his emotions were spiralling out of control.

“I-I Don’t know! I don’t know where I am!! My soul seems to be trapped here, I-I can’t escape here! He won’t let me go!”

“He? Who’s he? If that guy is in the hotel then I’ll be able to help you!” Naoki’s eyes went wide open and then all I saw was total darkness…

“Kantarou!!”

“Naoki!!” I opened my eyes, my whole head was spinning and it wasn’t long till I fell out of the bed and slammed my whole boy unto the floor, ouch….that hurt, my everything hurts…

Was that a dream? I scratched my head, I felt a little bit sleepy, did I make that whole thing up because I was desperate for answers about the case, or was it my consciousness playing tricks on me, I thought over it for a while until I realised there was something written on the palm of my hand, it was written in such beautiful Kanji, though I was shocked when it spelled out the words

‘Save us, save Kazumi’

“So…it wasn’t a dream huh?” Naoki…could it be that your soul is stuck in some alternate dimension where someone had locked you up in? If so who was it? Why did they do it and who is Kazumi? I don’t know why, but for some reason the name ‘Tsubasa’ sounded very familiar. For some reason, I think I know someone who knows, I’ll ask them when I get the chance…

But to be able to bring me to where they were imprisoned, he must have very strong spiritual powers, this had just told me one thing and one thing only and this I know for a positive fact, Mr. Hitogawa isn’t giving me the full story, I wonder what he’s hiding from us?

I got up and as soon as I got to my feet, got washed and dressed, I had to find out what was going on, so once I finished dressing, I walked out of the room and locked the door behind me, slowly making my way down to the reception area, there’s a couple of things I have to do, find Hitogawa, look for Haruka for help, find out who Kazumi is and save Naoki all in all this is going to be a long days work and this is only my second day, can you believe that? Two days and I’m already getting questions thrown my way…

“Kan-Chan! Kan-Chan!” I see Youko coming my way once I entered into the reception who was followed by Rosalie, they both look like their enjoying themselves, lucky, I envy them for having more fun while I’m working

“Youko, Rosalie, you two enjoying yourselves?” Youko nodded happily, not realising her ears are showing again

“Ahuh! We just got out of the hot springs, their so big and they have lots and lots of cherry trees did you see them Kantarou!!” I smiled lightly, placing my hands unto her ears and pushed them back down into her head, Youko blushed but she was thankful for this. “Thanks”

“Your welcome, yes I have been in the hot springs, I’m not very fond of cherry blossoms but the water was nice” before it attacked me and I almost drowned that is, it was still nice.

“Where’s Lucifer?” Rosalie asked, those big green eyes looked at me I just shrugged my shoulders as I replied “I don’t know, the last time I saw him was when we were in the room…” I trailed off remembering what activities we were doing this morning, I placed my hand unto my forehead, there’s that pain again.

“So what were you two doing in there anyways?” Eeek, oh damn it, Youko’s on to me, what am I going to do?

Have to come up with something, Youko’s giving me that look, you know the look of all looks that knows what you did with out you even saying it. “Well…we…” When Youko’s hand went unto my shoulder I jumped and I saw her cute smile looking my way.

“Don’t worry Kantarou…” she said to me calmly, that smile appearing on my lips as she gave me a tiny hug.

“I know, well maybe I should say I’ve known all along…” sometimes I think Youko’s my twin sister, my older twin sister to be exact.

“I wish you two the best, come on Rosalie we better find your father before he worries about you again”

Hm…I wonder where Hasumi is anyways?

Meanwhile

The Water Spirit covered his ears as he kept hearing the shrieks and riots of Ryokan Hasumi, he swore he was going to kill the man if he continued his never ending rants much longer, he maybe a water spirit but even he had his limits. So with the thought of peace and quiet in mind, the Water spirit formed an ice ball in his hands, his cold eyes locked on the target.

He practiced tossing it before he let it go and with such precision, it smacked Hasumi off the head, making Hasumi fall face first unto the ground.

Finally, the Water Spirit has done what we could never do

Hit Hasumi…

(Youkai Of Hearts: I love you Water Spirit-chan Water Spirit: Leave me alone!)

To Be Continued

Youkai Of Hearts: Chapter nine is done!! I wish it was longer though, but there were so many things I had to think about, so I decided to name the little staff member after a character I had on my deviantart page

Anyways, now I have a page under the same name, it’s a bit like Fan Fiction but this time you can write your own stories (like characters, plots, that kind of thing) So I posted my first chapter of Midnight Claws It’s a Yaoi/Shonen-Ai Fic, check it out if you like, the link to my FictionPress page is on my profile…under the deviantart address…

Although I don’t know whether to continue it or drop it…

Oh and one more thing, I might not be able to up date between the 26th and two weeks on wards because I’ll be off on Holidays to Tenerife, so until next time kiddos

Youkai Of Hearts Out!!
