(((OOC: Hehehe! Now my avie looks like Watari... trying to get someone to try "the cookies"... mwahahahaha!)))

"Harmless?"
Well THAT was a strange idea.
"How can an angel be harmless, Micheal-san?" Watari asked with a raised eyebrow. "Their holy powers far exceed anything a shinigami can conjure. A harmless angel is as good as a dead angel, because otherwise something... somewhere... will get the upper hand and use their power for evil. Which leads me to believe..." his amber gaze turned cold. "That Otori-san was being used as an experiment... or at the very least a test subject of some kind."
If there was one thing the scientist understood... it was the need for knowledge.
Scholars weren't far from men of science, after all. Their capacity for curiosity and a need to learn more matched... and what better way to learn than to test your theories or notions on something... or someone?
After all, Watari had tested various concoctions on Tsuzuki from time to time... most harmless... a couple with some rather inconvenient side effects, but not anything too dangerous.

"That's why he had guardians. Granted they weren't usually around but they were good enough to knock me down. It's not so much that he doesn't have the powers, it's more he wouldn't use them to save his own life." Micheal shrugged. "I wonder where they are now. . they should have been there when I couldn't." The demon shook his head. "I should have been there. It makes sense that they'd abandon him when he needed them most."

(((OOC: It's all thanks to your owl donation! I told you I had an awesome Watari avie plan... just needed a 003.)))
~ ~ ~
"Explain more about these guardians." Watari continued, pushing his glasses further onto the bridge of his nose. "What kinds of beings are they? Are they also tenshi, or something else? I mean, if they weren't there to protect Otori-san when he needed it... then is it too far a stretch to suggest that after Saki drained Otori-san's energy, he destroyed the guardians?"

"They were tenshi. I wasn't here when Otori was harmed, I was. . . banished I suppose would be the right term. If this Saki took all three of them on, then he wouldn't be just a mortal with a few connections. He'd have to be a demon more powerful than me." His eyes narrowed at the thought. "If this is the case and Saki is a demon pretending to be a human spirit, we are all in very very deep trouble. Deeply enough that if your friend would allow it, I would kill this Muraki now before the possessing spirit has time to take over again."

"We're not killing Muraki." Watari replied, looking quickly at Tsuzuki in hopes of not angering the emotionally unstable shinigami. "Besides, if Tsuzuki's right, then Muraki's innocent. But if Saki is a demon... drawing him out may be harder than it looks. Hell, we really don't even know what he wants."
Well, Tsuzuki knew... but that had been a rather guarded secret of the amethyst-eyed shinigami.

Terrible. Terrible terrible terrible terrible.
Tsuzuki cringed when he saw the red curse marks flaring all over the angel's body. It reminded him so very much of Hisoka. Poor Hisoka. He would do anything for Hisoka.
Almost anything. He had to think of Muraki first now, after all. It pained the shinigami to see the tenshi in such extreme pain, but he knew, all too well, that there was nothing he could do to help. Finally, the poor creature blacked out, as Tsuzuki knew that he would. It was just like how Hisoka always had.
He averted his eyes, looking down at Muraki. Silently he squeezed the doctor's hand, wishing he were awake, looking in his eyes, talking to him, kissing him. He had stopped paying attention, drifting off into his own thoughts, when he heard the demon mention killing Muraki.
"The hell you will." Tsuzuki spoke flatly, not yelling or even raising his voice. "Anyone who harms him in any way will die by the flames of Touda. And if he dies, I'll burn myself along with you and kill you again when I see you in hell."
Tsuzuki was glad that Watari was on his side, though. At least someone was going to stand up for him. For once.
He heard what Watari said, however, and figured it was about time to answer that question.
"Mu..iie...Saki wants me. My body, that is. He wants a vessel of his own, one that won't die and is all but impossible to destroy, to be precise. I fit the description."

"I fit the same description though." Watari replied, sitting down on the armrest of the sofa and thinking. "Except... you regenerate. In life, I mean." the scientist's amber eyes sparkled as thought after thought went through his mind. "When you died, Tsuzuki... it was because your spirit was so exhausted, so terribly for want of death, that you were finally able to die. Every time before that, you regenerated. Thus... Saki doesn't want a shinigami, at least not just ANY shinigami. He wants one that can regenerate faster than normal."
Standing quickly, Watari moved around the sofa to Muraki's side.
"Have you um... looked at Muraki completely?" he asked, basically meaning if the other had seen the man naked. "And did he have any marks? Any scars? Anything at all that was odd?"
It took the scientist a while before snapping his fingers. "The eye! Of course! I bet that's where it started! Saki's eating away at Muraki's body, damn it! That explains his eye... who knows what will be next but the sheer energy of Saki MUST be destroying Muraki's human body. If the demon got a hold of a regenerative shinigami... the body would be able to indefinitely sustain itself... energy or not... and..." Watari paled, looking to Tsuzuki. "If Saki had your body... he could keep growing more and more powerful... because the vessel that carried him could withstand the decomposing effects of such a strong power..."

Watari seemed pleased with his discovery, but to Tsuzuki, hearing his hypothesis was like being stabbed with a thousand swords. Saki was...killing...Muraki.
The look on Tsuzuki's face was one unlike any other that Watari would have ever seen. Anguish, fear, anger, trepidation...they all came together on his features, making him look as though he had aged two decades.
"What if...we removed the false eye? Or is it something deeper seated than that? Please, Watari, tell me there is something we can do. We have to save him. He has a heart of gold, he doesn't deserve to suffer and waste away. He doesn't deserve to die, not like this!"

Micheal made a face and a lewd gesture at Tsuzuki when the shinigami threatened to burn him. He knew at the moment, the man didn't have the power. The demon grinned. "If the eye is the problem, give me a second and I'll have it out. He's already out cold so it isn't like he'd notice until he woke up."
He was just trying to bait the both of them to distract himself from his worry over Otori. "Just think of how roguish he'd look with an eye patch. I could even heal it up before he woke up, if you are nit picking about pain. I did learn some tricks from my tenshi anyway."

Tsuzuki turned his amethyst eyes back to Micheal.
One thing Micheal didn't seem to understand...Tsuzuki was no ordinary shinigami. He had powers beyond any other shini in Meifu. He was by far the strongest shinigami to ever come into existence, he simply was also the clumsiest, laziest, and, sometimes, dumbest....unless he was angry.
"Please." he asked softly, "Be merciful. This is...unwarranted."

It was true that Micheal didn't realize how powerful Tsuzuki was but at the moment, he was trying to think of a way to get through this mess without allowing Otori to be hurt anymore. The demon took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh, rubbing the arm that still bothered him. "What would you have me do? You don't want him to die even though he harbors something as powerful as a lordling demon. I don't want that . . . thing, near Otori. I am what I am. I can't change that anymore than a cat can change its stripes."
That was as close as he'd come to saying he was completely at a loss about what to do. He rubbed at the phantom pain but made no other move. "If you don't like my solutions you better think of something else before all hell breaks loose."

Watari shook his head, "Removing the eye won't solve the problem. It will simply redirect the problem elsewhere. Maybe a hand, a foot, something... more valuable?" the scientist sighed slightly. "Until Saki leaves Muraki's body, there's nothing that can be done about the physical problem. If we could exorcise Saki, then things would be much easier... but there's no guarantee that Saki won't jump into the nearest host body in an effort to save himself... which just puts up back at square one."
The blond was sitting again on the armrest, 003 softly hooting on his shoulder and picking at the curly golden strands of hair that her beak could catch. "Saki wants to be in Tsuzuki's body, but obviously we can't allow that to happen because all the Meifu would, more than likely, be destroyed shortly thereafter. Thus we need another host... a weaker host... like me."
In other words, Watari Yutaka, was completely mad... or brilliant. In the blond shinigami's eyes, his powers were weak, his abilities limited, and if it weren't for his hacking, alchemical, and technological prowess, then he would even be worth keeping around the office.
Besides, he didn't have anyone that counted on him... that needed him... Tsuzuki had Bon, and if that wasn't enough, apparently now Muraki.
What did Watari have?
Enma Daiou-sama was pissed at him, and he was already on probation for his hacking stunt when in Tatsumi's company...
And he obviously didn't have Tatsumi... though he would've probably given anything if the secretary would at least look his way.
Watari Yutaka's existence was rather worthless...
At least that's how he saw it.

"Iie! Never! Not in a billion years, Watari Yutaka!" Tsuzuki exclaimed, appalled at the very idea of the scientist using himself as a 'holding cell' for the demon.
Standing up, even letting go of Muraki's hand, Tsuzuki stomped over to where the blond sat, glowering down at him.
"We can try anything you suggest, but not that. Never that. Never anything that would endanger you or anyone else. Do you have any idea what would happen to...to everyone...if you were hurt or, worse, killed? It...it would destroy me...as much...as much as if something happened to Muraki, or Hisoka, or Tatsumi. I can't live without you."
