This is the sequel to "No Return To Innocence"
Prelude:
Two Years Later:
Tsuzuki looks to the sky from his small apartment window. Having not bought curtains for the tiny window, he covered it with a sheet so as to keep his room dark and shadowy.
Tusuzki hated mornings. Actually he despised them, as he would much rather have stayed in bed for just a few more hours. He knew Tatsumi would have his head if he were not at work on time.
"This time only five mintues late," he muses as he looks at his watch. He sits down on a hard brown desk chair before a computer. But something was different. There was no paperwork covering his desk. He looked across from him toward a similar work area.
"Where was Hisoka?" he wondered.
In fact, he didn't see anyone when he arrived this morning. The puzzled brunette walked out to the hallway, the silence making his thoughts louder then normal. The stretch of the hall seemed to go on forever with the white walls surrounding him, reminding him of a maze.
"Where is everyone?" Suddenly, he hears laughter coming from the lounge.
The employee lounge was filled with the aroma of fresh brewed coffee and donuts.
The TV was blasting the morning news. Tsuzuki could see Tatsumi sitting on the couch reading the paper, blowing on his hot coffee before taking a sip. The other two shinigamis, Watari and Hisoka, were sitting by a laptop laughing. Tsuzuki walked in sitting next to Tatsumi looking up at the news.
"Tsuzuki-san, you never watch the news."
Tatsumi looks up from his paper fixing his glasses up further the bridge of his nose, cocking one eyebrow at the brunette. Tsuzuki just stares at the television as Tatsumi becames annoyed.
"Tsuzuki!"
The Shinigami turns his head over toward Tatsumi.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Tatsumi. I was in a daze, I guess. Were you saying something?"
news reporter

Reporter One: No, Mr.Huika. The only thing that was found was a single rose petal lying within the wound.

Tsuzuki looks up to the television. His face that of a disbelief.
"It can't be..."
