" We need to get this man caught. I'll sacrfice anything i need to solve this case." said Hisoka looked very determined.

Watari raised his hands, "Don't get me wrong, I'll be perfectly ready to play when the time comes... which makes me wonder... when exactly is that?"
~ ~ ~
"Insane." Muraki replied, perhaps even a bit angrily. "She treated me like a toy... like a porcelain doll for her own amusement."
The teen sighed, rubbing his eyes.
"There is a large room in my house, full of dolls. She had bought them for me... and I certainly love them... but..." he shook his head. "Sometimes, even just seeing them, is a little overwhelming."
~ ~ ~
The doctor nodded, "Certainly bad... but getting new hands isn't as easy as it seems. I fear he may need a violinist's hands..."

"It's a bit drafty in here, don't you think, Tsuzuki?"
Standing directly behind the amethyst eyed shinigami, was the Count.
Who appeared to be in quite the cheery mood.
"Now... I hear you wanted a favor, hmm?" the being moved to Tsuzuki's side, obviously looking him up and down. "And how do you intend to pay for this newest favor, ne?"

It kind of stuns Oriya for a moment, and he takes a sip of his tea. ".. That's not right. You're not a plaything. No one should have treated you as such."
----
"Another violinist?" Wondering if that's really the reason the hands are being rejected.

Tsuzuki jumps a little, straightening and turning his head to look at him, trying not to seem as wary as he feels. "Hakushaku-sama..." He bows his head a little, out of politeness. "It's really not that large of a favor..." The count's look making him very nervous.

" Tsuzuki talking to Tatsumi about that as we speak." said Hisoka sighing leaning on his hand. " Though by the feel of Tsuzuki's emotions, it didn't go to well."

This made Watari frowned, "But... Tatsumi knows nothing about recreation... let alone music. How would he have been any help?"
~ ~ ~
"Come now, Tsuzuki..." the being rested one hand lightly against the shinigami's cheek. "You owe me for so many favors now... certainly I deserve SOME payment for this newest one... no matter the side of the favor..."
Hakushaku leaned forward, his face mere centimeter's from Tsuzuki's.
~ ~ ~
Muraki laughed softly, "Yes well, now I'm Saki's plaything... aren't I?" he asked, finishing his tea. "Gomen... Guess I'm still a little angry..."
~ ~ ~
"Music isn't just about talent." Muraki replied with a smile. "Many violinist's share similar physical features... their hands being one of them. If Inoue-san's hand's aren't taking, even though they are of the same blood type... then trying another's hands... a violinist's hands... is the next logical step."

Tsuzuki averts his eyes, swallowing. "Nn.." Not precisely agreeing with him, but he's really run out of excuses, considering that his tab is rather ridiculously long. "I need to arrange for a concert... 'Soka and Watari and a human violinist, Inoue-san..." Maybe, he thinks, the request will be strange enough that the count will do it for sheer novelty.
---
"Angry's not a bad thing, Muraki-san." He nods a little. "But for the record, you aren't. He's just an a*****e." He sighs. "... Ready to go?"
----
"I see." He sighs a little, hating the topic. "So how are you planning on going about this?"

" Well... i don't know. I just thought he'd be better at pulling strings then i or Tsuzuki. We even called Hijiri and he couldn't do anything." he said sighing.

"Hmmm... but Hijiri knows this other violinist, right?" Watari asked, quite interested with the mystery.
~ ~ ~
It the Count could raise an eyebrow, he would have. "A concert, hmm?" he rubbed an invisible chin with one hand. "Could be interesting... but I'd much rather have real payment..."
Hakushaku put an arm around Tsuzuki's shoulder, pulling the shinigami close.
"However... since you asked so nicely..."
~ ~ ~
"Hai." the teen replied, standing and smiling.
It was a forced smile.
Even though he knew Oriya was right.
"So, where exactly are we going?"
~ ~ ~
Sighing, Muraki pulled a small black book from his yukata, flipping through a few pages. "There are many violinists in Japan, Oriya-kun. One... Minase Hijiri..." the doctor smirked. "I'll have to set up an appointment for Minase-san and Inoue-san to meet, it seems..."

Tsuzuki inhales a little, looking up at the count, startled. All he wants to do is squirm away, really. "Th..thank you."
He stammers a little, a hint to how truly flustered he is. The count reminds him far too much of some things he'd rather leave in the past.
---
He grins, shrugging and ruffling his hair. "I'd like to say it's a surprise... but I figured we'd just walk around and see things."
----
The name means nothing to Oriya, so he nods a little. "Soon, I assumme."

"Are you ever going to come visit me when you DON'T need anything?" Hakushaku asked before sighing. "But I suppose it can't be helped. Nevertheless, I'll schedule you a concert for the end of the week. Today's Monday, isn't it?" the Count appeared to be thinking. "Friday night... I think that should do nicely."
~ ~ ~
Muraki smiled, his hair now in disarray. "Sight seeing... I think I'd like that, really..."
~ ~ ~
"As soon as possible... tomorrow if it can be arranged." the doctor replied, pulling a cell phone from another pocket.

"Thank you very much, Hakushaku-sama," he whispered, making sure he's very polite. "I.. I should go and tell 'Soka and Watari, so they can prepare.."
----
"I'd prefer if the meeting did not take place here, sensei." Knowing Muraki will already know that, but re-iterating it.

"Of course." the Count replied, releasing Tsuzuki. "I only ask that you return to visit me some time... without a need for my help."
~ ~ ~
Muraki raised en eyebrow. "Very well then. Besides, I will need to take Inoue-san to Tokyo for the meeting. I'd rather not have to arrange transportation for Minase-san to Kyoto."

He nods a little, taking a step back and bowing. "Of course, Hakushaku-sama. If you'll excuse me..." He bows once more and turns to go, heading out and back home.
---
"Of course. So you will be leaving in the morning?" He hates it when Muraki leaves, though given the circumstances he doesn't want him there... it still hurts some.
