Gem opened the door and stared up at Tate and Jay, his expression indifferent as usual. "You're here to see Futa, right?" he asked, his gaze drifting to Jay. "Well...you'll have to wait. He's being all secretive and annoying, and wont let me in the kitchen."
He reluctantly stepped back to let them inside, a little relieved that their other friend wasn't with them. He guessed she had a 'the-dead-should-stay-dead' attitude. "FUTA! There's someone here to see you!" he shouted without warning. Then, he turned back to Tate and Jay, an awkward silence filling the air for a moment.
He leaned against the wall, choosing not to invite them further into the house. That was Futa's job. "So...What's your story?" he asked them, not particularly caring whether it was something they were comfortable talking about.
At that moment, Futa saved them from having to respond, by hurrying out of the kitchen, quickly closing the door behind him, and wiping something that looked suspiciously like blood from his hands. "Hey," he greeted Tate and Jay, trying to look cheerful. Although, he really looked as though he was about to throw up. "I hope you don't mind me calling you out here so early...I just thought it might be easier if they're all together the first time." He frowned, looking from Gem, to their guests. "He wasn't being rude to you, was he?"

[Para]

Mia nodded and smiled shyly. She tucked her hands in between her knees and shrugged, unsure of where to start.
"There are no hidden cameras Hisoka. It's real." she said and looked at him. "I was contacted by this, devil, or at least that was what he said he was. I don't know what to believe anymore though."
Gabriel walked over and sat down next to her, putting a reassuring hand on her back. He probably wanted to hear what she had to say as well, since he hadn't gotten an explanation yet.
"He told me how to bring him back," Mia glanced over at her brother. "But I didn't believe him at first. It was just...I was so sure that it wasn't going to work, and I missed him so much, so I decided to try. I couldn't help it."
A single tear fell down her cheek. "Gabe why don't you go get ready?" she said, and her brother did so. "But, there's one thing." Mia turned back to her best friend and looked down. "They have to feed. There are others out there as well, and we're going over to a guy called Futa's house. They have to eat humans." Unable to speak anymore, she stood up and walked into the bedroom, but turned in the door. "I know you're probably disgusted by me, and I'm sorry, but what's done is done." then she proceeded into the bedroom and changed clothes. When both her brother and herself came back out, Mia grabbed the car keys and looked at Hisoka. "Would you like to come along?"

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Hisoka sat in silence while Mia and Gabriel went to get dressed, trying to take in everything Mia had just said. A...devil? Just what had she got herself into? And why hadn't he been there to help her with her decision? Well...Somehow...Gabriel was alive now. And he wasn't going to do anything to hurt him, or Mia. But still. This was wrong.
When they returned, he stood up, his expression unreadable, and approached Mia. He threw his arm out, between her and the doorway to stop her. But then, with his other hand, he gently wiped away the tears that were still on her face. "Don't do that," he told her firmly. "I can't say I agree with what you've done...But, I have people I'd love to see again too. So I know how you feel...I missed Gabriel as well...Taking that chance wasn't wrong. But that devil guy...I want to speak with him myself. I don't want him tricking you into something." He forced a smile, and turned her face towards him. "About the feeding thing," he whispered. "Let me help you. You haven't been ruined by this world yet. And I don't want to see that happen."
He pulled her into a brief, comforting hug, his gaze meeting Gabriel's momentarily. There was a horrible, ominous feeling about this whole thing, and he found it difficult to look at Gabriel right now. But he hoped it would pass. Taking a deep breath, and letting it out slowly, he released Mia, still smiling.
"Sure, I'll go...It might even be fun," he replied cheerfully, allowing them to lead the way out to the car.

[Para]

Gabriel stood behind Mia as she spoke to Hisoka, listening to their conversation. A small smile crept across his face when he said he'd missed Gabe as well. He was relieved that Hisoka took it the way he did, but had somehow expected it. Hisoka was always there for Mia.
"I... I don't even know what to say." Mia said and returned the hug her best friend gave her. "You're incredible," she shook her head and smiled. "Did I tell you that I love you?"
Mia knew they weren't exactly comfortable with this situation, but neither was she. And what would you expect? A dead man had been brought back.
She giggled and then proceeded out the door, feeling as though a boulder had been lifted off her chest. It felt so good to finally be rid of the secret she'd been so afraid to tell Hisoka.
A frown appeared again when Mia caught herself being actually excited about seeing Futa and the others again. "Alright. Let's go." she said as she turned on the car.
Then they drove off towards the adress Futa had given her. When they pulled up, Mia got out and waited for the others. "So.. I guess this is the place?" she said askingly.

[Cracka Stole My Yoshi]

Tate jumped a bit as Gem suddenly called out to Futa. Jay squeezed his hand lightly. They both were relieved that they didn't have to talk about what had happened to Jay. "Hello." Tate responded nicely. "Oh, no, it's fine. I don't normally sleep so late, anyway."
"And I didn't sleep at all!" Jay said cheerily.
Tate chuckled once and shook his head at Jay. "Right. Anyway, he wasn't being rude. Just.. curious." He explained. He looked over at Jay. His eyes were getting blacker. Tate shifted a bit, clearly uncomfortable.
"I'm hungry.." Jay murmured, his dark eyes flickering over all the bodies in the room hungrily.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

If I was incredible, I'd have realized something was wrong sooner, and stopped all this, Hisoka thought sadly, Mia's relieved words still floating around his head as they made their way to Futa's house. His outward smile remained throughout the whole journey, though. He stayed silent, but couldn't stop his gaze drifting occasionally to Gabriel.
When the car pulled up outside the house, Hisoka got out, closing the door behind him. "This is the first time you've been here?" he asked, trying to sound merely curious, and not worried.

Gem pointedly looked away from Futa, apparently irritated that he had interrupted before Tate and Jay could respond. Like Jay, his eyes were slowly turning darker as well. Despite the ice cream he had had less than half an hour ago, he was starving. And he had a disturbing urge to bite someone.
Futa smiled with relief, then raised his eyebrows at Jay. "You too?" he asked. "Gem didn't sleep, either...Maybe it's normal to not sleep the first night, then." He realized he had used the word 'normal' in a sentence involving reviving the dead. He rolled his eyes. "He hasn't changed a bit," he muttered, looking at Gem, who was now completely ignoring the three of them, looking out of the spyhole in the door.
Futa shrugged, and let out a small sigh. "I'm so glad you trusted me enough to come here, anyway," he continued, giving Jay a wary look when he announced he was hungry. He had wanted to wait for Mia and Gabriel...
As though on que, Gem suddenly opened the door again, before the people on the other side even had a chance to knock. "Futa, there's more of them," he grumbled, looking from Mia, to Gabriel, and then to the other person. Another outsider.
"You came too," Futa commented happily, inviting them inside. He looked at the kitchen door, the nauseous expression retuning to his face. Unfortunately, all three of the zombies looked hungry, so there was no putting it off. He gave the third person a wary look, remembering Tate and Jay had been accompanied by another as well. "Is she with you?" he asked Mia quietly, gesturing towards Hisoka. He kind of hoped so. The pink haired stranger was beautiful.
Hisoka raised an eyebrow, but just continued to smile.
Gem rolled his eyes, and grabbed both Gabriel and Jay by the arm, beginning to march them down the corridor. "You might be more interesting than-"
"Wait!" Futa protested, scared by their darkening eyes. "Don't you want to eat first?"
"We're bored," Gem decided for the other two. "And you're not feeding us...You're too busy yabbering at them."

[Para]

Mia shrugged and frowned, walking towards the house. There was another car there as well, probably the three others. The two boys and the girl. "I know how this seems Hisoka." Mia gazed over at Gabriel and then back. "But it's my best bet." Then she walked towards the door and knocked, bracing herself for what was eventually going to happen here. She wouldn't be able to stomach it, if she had to watch her brother eat another human being. That was simply too much.
"I'm hungry Mia." Gabriel said and sighed.
"I know, that's why we're here." Mia put her hand on his cheek and smiled, before the door was opened behind them. She could hear several voices from inside, but hadn't seen their faces yet. If she could just find Futa, she'd feel a little safer.

[Para]

[Okay ignore that one, it makes noooooooo sense at all. I'll have another one up shortly.]

[Para]

She tried to cover her laugh, but failed. Mia looked down and bit her lip, taking just a moment to greet Futa. Hisoka on the other hand seemed unaffected by the fact that he had just called him a girl, and just continued to smile. "That's Hisoka. He's my best friend, I hope it's okay I brought him along." she said softly and raised an eyebrow at Futa. Then Gem grabbed Gabriel and all three of them headed for the kitchen door. Mia gave Futa an asking look, but required no answer. She stepped inside and stood a little closer to him, tugging her keys into her pockets. She could see the two boys, but not the girl that had been with them. She seemed nice, so Mia wondered where she was. Maybe something had happened between all of them. She didn't seem to think it was a good idea to bring someone back from the dead.
Gabriel just smiled and walked along with Gem and Jay, happy that he'd mentioned food.
"How are you?" Mia said and looked at both Futa and Tate, trying to be friendly although she felt a little weird.

[Cracka Stole My Yoshi]

Jay smirked a little as Gem began to pull him away. "No, Jay. Come back over here." Tate demanded, feeling a little jealous. He didn't want other people to even touch Jay. Jay's eyes widened a bit, then he nodded.
"Okay." He squirmed out of Gem's grasp and stood by Tate's side, holding onto his arm. After the other group walked in, Jay eyed Hisoka curiously, then smirked once again. "Cute." He murmured.
Tate shot a glare down at Jay, who then folded his lips inward and stared down at the ground. "Sorry.." He said quietly.
"We're fine.. for the most part." Tate murmured, his gaze drifting back to Mia. "You?"

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem smirked when he heard Mia's reply to Futa. But the smirk vanished when Jay suddenly decided to be obedient, and went back to Tate. He held onto Gabriel's arm tighter, as though worried he was going to leave, as well.
"Oh...I...I'm sorry..." Futa stammered, looking extremely embarrassed. He scowled at the amused look Gem gave him, then turned back towards the kitchen door, resting his hand on the handle. Part of him didn't want to open it, and he wished someone else would first. He was still a little too embarrassed to look back at Mia as she spoke to him. "We're fine, too," he muttered. "This whole thing is still sort of...unreal, though. Isn't it?"
Hisoka smiled at Jay, and at the look on Futa's face. He was straight, but he was used to the male attention he usually got. It was kind of fun, sometimes. "I think I like these people," he whispered to Mia.
At that moment, there was a sound from inside the kitchen. One of the boys had woken up.
"Oi! You idiots! Wake the hell up!...I think he's going to kill us!"
Hisoka looked at Futa, who was now frozen to the spot, his hand still clutching the door handle. "Sounds like dinner is escaping," he commented, raising his eyebrows when he heard a cupboard open, and a knife sliding out of it. "So...You didn't kill them, or tie them up?"
"I didn't think they'd-"
"Futa, what's going on?" Gem demanded, loosening his grip on Gabriel's arm to give Futa a suspicious look.
But, his question was answered when one of the boys suddenly came stumbling through the door, knocking Futa off his feet in the process. He brandished a large, butchers knife at them, a crazy look in his eyes. He was still bleeding from the gash on the back of his head, but he appeared to be too scared right now to feel any pain. "Back! All of you!" he screamed, pointing the knife right in Mia's face.
Hisoka put a hand to his forehead and pulled out a pocket knife of his own. "You should put that down," he warned. "You're injured, and outnumbered...And we aren't going to hold back." As he had expected, the boy turned to him, and, out of pure desperation, drove the knife forward. Hisoka was faster, and managed to cut across his throat, spraying the corridor with blood. As the boy fell, he looked over at Futa, who was getting to his feet. "Maybe I don't know a lot about this whole thing," he started, wiping the blood from his face with the back of his hand. "Honestly...It still kind of creeps me out. But you did it knowing the full details of what you have to do in order to make it work, right?...If you have to kill to feed them, you should do the job properly. Not wait around for them to feed on live humans. You don't eat live chicken, do you? Letting them be the killers is just shifting the responsibility...And, you put Mia in danger. I wont forgive you for that." Forcing a smile, he kicked the corpse towards Gabriel, then turned away, not particularly wanting to see him feed. Then he threw the knife to Futa. "I don't really feel like killing anyone else today."
Futa looked down, feeling a little ashamed. If he'd just forced himself to actually kill the three, none of that would have happened. They all probably thought he was too irresponsible to do this, now. Ignoring the look on Gem's face, he entered the kitchen, the hand holding the knife trembling.
Gem was too confused, and angry to say anything. He just stood in the doorway, flinching at the sound of the knife entering flesh. How could Futa do this to him?

[Para]

She smiled at the Jay and Tate. "I'm fine thanks." Mia stood next to Futa and shrugged. "Yeah, it's pretty weird."
Gem had already dragged Gabriel off, clutching him tighter when Jay wriggled out of his grip. The fact that Futa had mistaken Hisoka for a girl still amused her, and Futa was sweet when he couldn't meet her eyes with his own.
Mia put her hand on Hisoka's back and felt a little more calm, smiling brightly at all of them. The thought that her brother was there to eat another human being had left her mind momentarily. She was quickly reminded though when one of the boys came rushing out and waved a knife in her face. Before she could even think or speak, Hisoka had killed him by cutting his throat. Mia leaned against the wall for a minute and tried to focus.
After a few deep breaths, she came back to the present situation.
"Hisoka, are you okay?" she said, ignoring his comment towards Futa. He could be a little overprotective sometimes. Then Futa was given the knife and he walked towards the kitchen, whereafter the sound of a knife entering flesh was heard. Her stomach turned and she took a deep breath yet again. "Gabriel, can you take him into the kitchen?" Mia said and smiled weakly at her brother, but he did as she said. He knew what was about to happen, but would also forget it when he was done. Her eyes gazed towards Jay and Tate, giving Tate a reassuring smile.
She looked towards the kitchen, frowning and feeling sorry for Futa. "Don't be so harsh on him, he has to get used to all this as well you know?" Mia said to Hisoka and put a hand on his cheek.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Hisoka let out a calming breath. He didn't want anyone to see him lose his temper. He smiled at Mia when she asked if he was ok. "It will take weeks to get these blood stains out," he sighed light heartedly, as though it was merely red paint. He avoided watching as Gabriel dragged the body into the kitchen.
He smiled again when she put her hand on his cheek. "He might learn this stuff faster with a few harsh words," he pointed out sweetly. "But, if you insist...I wont bully him too much." He stopped to smile innocently over at Tate. "Or him..." His voice trailed off and his smile saddened as he looked at Mia.
As Futa passed Gabriel on his way out, he turned his head away from him slightly. The sooner this part was over, the better. He made his way back to where the others were standing, and looked straight at Gem. "C-come on...In the kitchen," he muttered.
Gem continued to glare at him, but he had no choice but to follow. He almost looked tearful as he saw the two other bodies on the floor. "Futa...Please don't!" he begged. "Please!"
"Eat," Futa whispered, closing his eyes, and trying to shut out the sound of his brothers' protests. A moment later, they were replaced by a sound that made his stomach turn, and he opened his eyes slightly to see Gem sitting beside one of the bodies, tearing flesh from its bones with his teeth. At least, once it was over, Gem would forget this horrifying scene. But Futa would never be able to erase it from his memory. He turned back to the others. "You might as well get it over with," he suggested, trying to smile, and failing.

[Para]

She smiled and shook her head, removing her hand again and leaning against the wall. Mia shrugged when Hisoka spoke again. "I guess your right. Just.. Yeah I'd appreciate it if you didn't bully them." she glanced over at Tate and shook her head. Voices came from the kitchen area, but she couldn't make out what was being said. One voice sounded begging though. She knew what was going to happen and the knot in her stomach seemed to make her feel sick. Mia stepped forward and nodded at Futa as he came out, gently putting a hand on his shoulder and smiling, trying to calm him.
"Gabriel." she said and walked up to him. She looked him in the eyes for a second, wondering whether it was just simply wrong what they had done. Part of her regretted it, but another part was stronger. The part that had her brother back now. She couldn't lose him again. "Eat."
Gabriel just turned and walked into the kitchen, as if he had no will of his own. Mia blocked out the sounds and walked away, back to where they had stood before. She looked at Futa again, and tried to keep a straight face. Whether she succeeded was unclear. Mia stood and hugged herself as her brother was eating another human being. But that was the last thing she wanted to think about.

[Cracka Stole My Yoshi]

Tate swallowed down the vomit that he felt traveling up his throat as he witnessed Hisoka slitting the boys throat. Jay held onto Tate tight, especially after realizing how bad he was shaking. The sound of tearing flesh brought the nausea back to him quickly.
The two hesitantly walked into the kitchen, Tate clutching his stomach as he saw Gem and Gabriel both begin eating another human being. He swallowed hard once more and looked down at Jay, who was looking up at Tate with a confused look on his face.
"Go eat." Tate commanded, choking on his words a bit. Jay hesitated for a moment, then stood up straight and nodded his head once, walking over to one of the dead boys. He looked down at the body for a moment, then quickly dropped to his knees and began eating the boy quickly.
Tate put his hand over his eyes and shook his head. "I.." Was all he could muster, then he ran outside to a bush and doubled over. This was all too much for him to handle.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

{X3 Hontoni gomenasai. >..<}

Hisoka watched the reactions of the others as they forced the zombies to eat, an unreadable expression on his face. Maybe they needed a little bullying. This was their own choice, after all...They should have considered how hard this part would be. He knew it was none of his business, and he was the only one free to just walk out and refuse to be involved in any way...But, if they couldn't handle it, he had a horrible feeling that it would become a huge problem. If there wasn't something forcing them to kill strangers to feed the zombies, they wouldn't do it, after all. And, what if there were others?...Others who might decide to come after them for food. It was probably easier to kill someone who was already supposed to be dead. That meant, if news of this got out to others like them, Gabriel could be in danger. And Mia.
His eyes followed Tate as he rushed out, but he said nothing.
Futa, on the other hand, flinched. He felt like running out to vomit as well. He gave Mia a weak smile, letting out a sigh of relief when the sound of eating finally stopped. "I...I'll clean up the kitchen," he muttered. "It's my house, so I wont expect you to do that...The bathroom is down the hall, next to my bedroom. Their clothes are probably...covered too...so they can use mine for now. Gem has his own." He turned to Hisoka, and hesitated. "You can borrow some of my clothes as well."
Gem walked out of the kitchen, looking thoroughly confused. "Why...?" he started. But Futa interrupted him.
"Gem. Take everyone to get cleaned up and changed. And get yourself cleaned up too...Don't ask any questions."
For a moment, Gem gave him a suspicious look. But then he nodded, before looking out the front door. "What about the one puking in the garden?"
"I'll tell him to follow when he's ready."
Gem nodded again, then smiled up at the others, gesturing for them to follow him.
Futa leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath to stop himself throwing up. Then, he forced himself back into the kitchen to clean up the mess that had been left there.

[Para]

[Hi Nat! I've been without internet as well. Which is hell basically...]

She almost ran after Tate as he bolted outside to throw up. A few more minutes passed and the disgusting noises ended. Mia looked up again and wrinkled her nose. Then Futa spoke up, and flashed a weak smile that didn't reach his eyes at Mia.
"I'll help you." she said to him and braced herself for te sight she was about to endure. And the smell. Mia squeezed Hisoka's arm gently and winked, trying to comfort herself more than him. She knew he would be okay. "Go see if he's okay, will you?" she asked her best friend adn pointed towards the door. Jay wasn't there to take care of Tate at the moment, and he'd probably need something to regain his strength right now. Mia turned and followed Futa who had entered the kitchen. She had noticed him leaning against the wall down the hall, possibly to avoid falling over. Mia waved at Gabriel and smiled slightly as he was dragged off by Gem. All her brother did was smile back and follow, blood dripping down his chin. He was still in a trance like state. "Are you okay?" she said as she stepped towards Futa and tilted her head. He looked like he was going to throw up himself at any moment, which was understandably. The smell that filled their nostrils would make anyone light headed.

[Fujoshi Otaku]

{X3}

Hisoka raised his eyebrows at Mia for a second. But, he nodded and turned to go outside. "If this stains, you're paying for it," he teased. Then he turned his attention to Tate. "You get it all out?" he asked, refraining from making any biting remarks. He guessed, by now they all realized just how hard this was going to be. And, since he wasn't exactly going through what they were going through, he doubted they wanted to hear it from him.
Futa tried to force another smile, and failed, shielding his nose from the smell. "You don't have to..." he insisted. But, he silently appreciated Mia's help. He didn't want to clean it all up on his own. "...Thank you," he muttered, managing a smile this time. He shrugged when she asked if he was ok. "Honestly...I don't know," he admitted. "I never imagined I'd ever see my brother...eating another human being...Or, that I'd ever have to kill someone...At the same time, I haven't taken it in yet. I wonder if we'll ever get used to it..." He trailed off. "Sorry...Are you ok?"

Gem led the way to the bathroom, half pushing Gabriel in before him. He made his way over to the mirror, frowning at his appearance. There was blood around his mouth, and splattered all down the front of his T shirt. It had also managed to get into his long blond hair, dying it red and making it cling to him. "You still look worse than me," he grumbled, throwing his T shirt to the floor, and beginning to wipe the blood from his face. "But, I'm younger, so I get to clean up first...At least, I think I'm younger." He looked back at Gabriel curiously. "How old would you be now?" he asked, as though the subject didn't bother him at all. "I'd be 19, like Futa...How did you die, anyway?"

[Para]

Gabriel rasied his eyebrows at Gem and then shoved him playfully as he stood in front of the mirror, cleaning his face from all the blood. He himself had smeared it all across his shirt. The feeding part was gone from his mind, completely. All he knew was that now he was here with Gem, about to get cleaned up and nothing in him urged him to ask his sister what had happened.
"I look way better. Ass!" Gabriel smirked and chuckled. "And would be around eighteen or nineteen I think. Now where are the clothes I can borrow?" he threw his shirt on the floor and stood with his arms at his side, tilting his head. "I was shot. I think."

Mia wrinkled her nose at the smell, trying not to look at the bodies. Or at least trying not to let the images brand themselves into her brain. That Futa was there and spoke to her, calmed her a bit and it offered a certain comfort. She wasn't trembling now. "I know I don't." Mia said and glanced sideways at him. "But I want to, it's not fair if you have to do it all alone." she smiled reassuringly. She paused for a moment and looked at her hands. The worst part was, the scent of blood was near impossible to get off even if you washed your hands a hundred times. It still clung to her nostrils for a while after. They had to get used to this. What Futa then said made her swallow and concentrate on not throwing up. "I know. This all still feels surreal." she gave a shrug and her facial expression relaxed. Mia then stopped and looked at the boy next to her, her hair falling down as she tilted her head. "I'm fine. I think."

[Fujoshi Otaku]

Gem scowled at Gabriel, but wordlessly knelt beside the bath, running his hair under the tap, and absent-mindedly watching the water turn red. "In your dreams," he muttered. Then he turned his head to the side so he could see Gabriel. "So...You might be younger than me?" he asked, sounding a little disappointed. "In that case...You have to show me respect," he continued, deciding he would try bossing Gabriel around.
He grabbed a towel and stood up, drying his hair as well as he could as he made his way back to the door. "You only look a little smaller than Futa...so it wont be that hard to find you something," he replied, leading the way out of the bathroom, to Futa's room. "But don't touch anything...He probably has all kinds of dirty magazines he wont want anyone else to see." He smirked. "Actually...feel free to move anything you want. Embarrassing him in front of a whole house full of people sounds fun."
His smile faded as he searched through Futa's drawers. "So, you remember?" he whispered. "...Lucky...Well, I wonder if it's lucky to remember something like that...But, one minute I was going to sleep. And then I don't know what happened...It's irritating...Although, I was dreaming that I couldn't breathe." A troubled expression crossed his face momentarily, before he forced a smile and turned to throw the clean T. Shirt at Gabriel.
Then, instead of going to find something clean for himself, he collapsed onto the bed, holding his arms outstretched towards the ceiling. "What does it feel like? Being shot?" He let his arms drop, and rolled onto his side, not particularly caring that his half dried hair was making Futa's duvet wet. "Why would someone shoot you?...Were you in some kind of gang? I bet it was the police! Or maybe you got into a huge fight with some criminals! Just like on TV...Right?"

Futa cleaned up half of the mess in silence. Mia was right...This was something they would all have to get used to. Still, he felt a little guilty that she had to help. "Thank you," he finally managed to mutter once most of the blood had been wiped from the floor, and two bin liners sat in the middle of the room, containing the...leftovers. "I don't think I would have been able to do that alone."
He hesitated before putting a hand on her shoulder, grimacing apologetically as he remembered how much blood was on his hands. "We'll get used to this," he insisted. "I care far too much about Gem to let anything bad happen to him, and I know you feel the exact same way about your brother. So...All this will be worth it. For them."
He jumped at the sound of slow, sarcastic applause. "Wonderful," Hisoka's voice interrupted from the doorway. He was smiling cheerfully, but his tone was cold. "That's why you ordered the little guy not to ask questions, right?...I wonder just how honourable your actions were." When Futa opened his mouth to speak, Hisoka cut across him quickly. "I trust Mia. I know how genuine she is about this...When I look at you, though, all I see is guilt. Guilt for yourself. Cut the sob stories, honey, because I can see in your eyes that you only did this for you."
Futa slowly withdrew his hand from Mia's shoulder, and stared ashamedly at the floor.
But, the next moment, Hisoka seemed to have forgotten his lecture. He smiled again, genuinely. "The one outside doesn't seem quite ready to come back in yet, and he looked like he needed to be alone." His eyes drifted to the two bags. They needed to be disposed of quickly, but that wasn't his job. So, he silently made his way across the room, and wrapped his arms around Mia. "Hm...Seems like we both need to get cleaned up before we leave," he commented, the smell of blood managing to affect even him now.
"Y-you can borrow any of my clothes," Futa muttered, still staring at the floor. "Just as long as you return them."
