HunterXHunter has reappeared in my life and these ideas have been begging for me to write them and so I shall. I started off with my favorite character first; Hisoka Morow. I know that a lot of people call him a pedophile and whatnot but there's more to him than that. It's not a sexual desire; it's a power desire. I had to create a character for him that fit what he wanted, what he longed for, and so Lorelei was created.
This is just Part one for Hisoka in this One Shot series. When I write HunterXHunter completely, which will be the next anime I begin, I hope the fans of this will come to read it.
I own none of these Characters. Only Kiyoma, Kyra, and Lorelei are mine!
Hisoka has been excited for his upcoming match against a woman named Lorelei. It's his first match on the 200th Floor of Heavens Arena and he's heard nothing but praise in this woman's power. With her winning streak of seven-to-zero, this man on the hunt for powerful opponents think he's found what he's been searching for. It's too bad she doesn't feel the same.
A Promise
A Hisoka Morrow One-Shot
"For the last time, no. I'm not telling you anything about her battle tactics. She's my friend."
"And I'm your brother. You don't want to see me hurt, do you?"
The woman gave him a deadpan look. "You and I both know that you'd get off on it."
The man gave a sadistic grin. "That I cannot deny."
Hisoka Morow felt himself getting more and more excited as he and his sister moved down the hall. They were currently currently on the 200th floor of Heaven's Arena, both arriving 30 days ago. His sister had already won two of her ten matches but Hisoka had yet to sing up for his first match, until tonight, that is. Hisoka's opponent was going to be a young woman named Lorelei Kudan and she was friends with his sister.
Hisoka Morow, 27, had spiked, baby blue hair and sharp, golden eyes. Dressed in his usual, strange, white attire with the card symbols a light violet, a deck of cards currently tucked into his pocket.
His sister, Kiyoma, 24, had left her hair their natural shade of a fiery fuchsia that hung low on his back and eyes that matched her brothers.
Having been awoke by her brother not even thirty minutes ago, the woman hadn't even bothered changing from her black and white pajamas, merely throwing on a bra and dragging a comb through her hair to join Hisoka for an early lunch.
When they first arrived at Heaven's Arena, Kiyoma became fast friends with two other woman, Lorelei and another named Kyra Irena. Hisoka didn't really pay attention to his sister's friends until he had witnessed one of Lorelei's battles first hand a week ago. The woman had killed her opponent in less than a minute with nothing more than a blow to the chest. Hisoka couldn't lie; he had become interested in her. He wanted to test her strength so he had watched her, waiting until she signed up for another fight. He was surprised that she had done so as fast as she did; she was clearly confident in herself. All week Hisoka had been excited for his match against her and his sister had been trying to keep him calm. She knew how her brother was and knew how to handle him, too.
Kiyoma shot her brother a look as the two took a seat in one of the small restaurants for lunch. "You never change, Hisoka."
"Would you really want me to?" He replied with his smile. His sister seemed not to hear him as she opened her menu. He continued to smile as he did the same.
Out of everyone, only his sister was going to be able to understand him completely. The only one he trusted completely. Their bond was stronger than any other siblings that they had encountered over the years.
Things stayed silent between the two until their food arrived and Kiyoma spoke up.
"Are you still planning on taking the Hunter Exam next month?"
"But of course," Hisoka replied with a smile. "You're still coming, aren't you?"
"I can't let you go alone. God only knows what will happen if I let you out of my sight."
Hisoka's smile stayed glued to his face. He had seen the hidden message behind her words. His sister was just as bad as he was. Together they were able to keep eachother calm and under control; in public, anyway. One would think they were twins and not three years apart.
"After this is over with, what do you want to do?" Kiyoma found herself asking. "We came here to bide our time until the Hunter Exam but after that's over, where will we go next?"
Hisoka poked at his food for a moment before answering. "Why not come back here?" He offered. "We could become Floor Masters and fight all we want; until it gets boring, anyway. When it comes to that, well, we'll do what we always do."
Kiyoma accepted that answer with a nod and changed the subject back to the fight that was to take place later that night. "Try not to go too far tonight, brother. It's not often that I find both a friend and a toy in one package."
He chuckled. "That's how it is, is it? And here I thought you had gone soft on me. You just want her all to yourself."
Both sets of golden eyes rose to lock with eachother.
"So what if I do?"
Hisoka's smiled deepened. "Then this just might turn into our first, serious case of sibling rivalry. Maybe we should settle it in the Arena."
The golden eyes glared at the others across the table, neither moving or blinking. Both could feel the other suppressing their blood lust and Hisoka had to admit that he was surprised. Kiyoma normally backed down when Hisoka expressed interest in another fighter; she apparently had other plans concerning this one.
"Both of you are in too far over your heads."
The voice that broke the silence belonged to a young man that was sitting at a table next to them. Well built with bright green eyes and white hair, he was dressed in a white and red robe as a black cloak hung over his chair.
"Lorelei isn't going to fall into your traps or dance to your tune. Neither of you will stand a chance against her."
"How do you know it's Lorelei we're talking about?" Kiyoma asked.
"Everyone knows who's going to be fighting Lorelei tonight. She's one of the most watched fighters in the arena. She's never lost a match and has three fights left before she can challenge a Floor Master. Well," He gave Hisoka a glance over. "After tonight she'll only need two more wins."
Hisoka blinked. "You talk as if you're sure she'll win."
"I am," The man replied, sipping from his tea. "Lorelei will be too powerful for you, mark my words."
Hisoka stared at him. "Tell me your name."
"Why?"
"So when I win tonight, I can challenge you to a match and beat you just like I will her."
The man placed money on the table and stood, gathering his cloak. "Well then, seeming as how that won't be happening, there's no reason to tell you my name now, is there?"
Both siblings watched the man walk away, just to be brought back when a third form took a seat at their table.
"I swear, the two of you just cause trouble everywhere, don't you?"
It was a woman with green hair cut into an asymmetrical style, the hair longer on the left. Her ears each held three piercings and she constantly wore a grin like the Cheshire Cat. In a pair of jean shorts and a white tank top, her eyes were a bright blue that held an entertained look to it.
"Kyra?" Kiyoma blinked, not expecting to see her friend here.
"'Sup, guys?" Kyra Irena grinned at the duo. "Having a friendly fight with other contenders already, huh?"
"Do you know him? Hisoka asked.
"That, my lovable, blue-haired psycho, was Kastro and he's one of the better fighters here in the Arena...in some opinions."
Kiyoma raised a brow. "Meaning what, exactly?"
"Meaning that he's got a lot of fans; girls, mostly, so I'd be wary of being seen around him," Kyra smiled. "I'm not saying they could take you, but I doubt that you want to get in trouble for killing people."
"And that's why we need Hunter Licenses," Hisoka grinned at his sister.
Kyra looked at the duo in bewilderment. "And just what kind of Hunters will you be? Body Hunters? Blood lust Hunters? Oh, even better, the 'Schwing' Hunters!"
Kiyoma's face went red as her brother just smiled. Only Kyra knew that the duo got turned on by powerful opponents, the only difference being that Kiyoma didn't have a problem hiding it while her brother couldn't exactly hide his erections.
Hisoka grinned at Kyra. "If you keep talking like that then I'm afraid I won't be able to contain myself."
"Keep it in your pants, buddy. You're cute but just not my type." The green-haired woman replied. She reached over to Kiyoma's glass and took a drink. Kiyoma wrinkled her nose at her before giving a shrug and letting it go; Kyra did it to Lorelei, too. She should be used to it by now.
"Oh?" Hisoka raised a brow. "And just what is your type?"
"I'll tell you, but only if you land a hit on Lorelei tonight."
"Back to this again, are we?" Kiyoma sighed.
"Hey, you know Lori; she's tough. I like you, Hisoka, but I'm still rooting for her."
Kiyoma watched her brother's smirk twitch. "Apparently this woman has earned quite a lot of respect. Perhaps I should keep a closer eye on her from now on."
"I don't know how much she'd like that, my blue-haired psycho, but be my guest to try. She is quite interesting, after all," Kyra's words led both the Morow siblings to believe that she knew something more about Lorelei Kudan but neither of them pressed the issue, settling in to finish their meal, talking quietly with their new companion.
As the time for the match got closer and closer Hisoka felt his excitement grow and grow. He had already taken several cold showers to try and keep calm but it didn't help. It wasn't only until his sister threatened to cut it off did he seem to gain control of himself. Of this Lorelei, he had only seen one fight so why should he be this excited? It had to do with everyone telling him that he was going to lose; that and the way that Kiyoma was acting. His sister was more picky than he was when it came to picking their...toys, and for her to stand against him as firmly as she had early and claim Lorelei for her own...that had to be the true reason. His sister only showed interest in the best; the very, very best.
~I'm sorry, sister,~ The Magician grinned to himself as he heard the announcer begin the introductions. ~But I'm afraid that I might not be able to restrain myself in this one.~
"Hello! I'm your announcer, Cocco! Today in Heavens Arena, we have Hisoka versus Lorelei, a match that has been on everyone's waiting list! Just look at the crowd! The arena has been packed for the last two hours, the excitement just radiating off the crowd! Lorelei has a complete winning streak of seven-to-zero and has been a crowd favorite since she arrived here two years ago and worked her way to the top. We've tried countless times to get an interview with Miss Lorelei but she keeps slipping through our grasps; it's apparent that she doesn't like cameras. The only word we have ever gotten from Lorelei is her longing to challenge a Floor Master and obtain her own title. Having been on the 200th Floor for almost two years now, Lorelei is known to use all 90 of her days between her matches before coming back and dominating the ring. One has to ask just what kind of training this woman puts herself through.
"As for her opponent, Hisoka is a newcomer to Heavens Arena and the older brother to Kiyoma who we witnessed a spectacular knockout win against her opponent just a few nights ago. Though this is his first battle on the 200th floor, we have high hopes for him if he's anything like his sister."
Hisoka licked his lips as he could hear the crowd getting louder and louder and took a calming breath. He stood in the darkness of the waiting room, peering out of the window. Across the ring he knew that the other waiting room was there and he could just picture his sister's friend standing there. Was she as excited as he was? He had to know that he was Kiyoma's brother so just what was going through her head at this moment? Kiyoma never told him much, despite how much he asked her. Kyra had kept her lips sealed as well while they ate and it had annoyed the older man but at the same time made him even more excited. He found himself hoping that Kastro was watching as well; he wanted him to watch him win this match.
He squeezed his left arm with his right hand, trying his hardest not to dig his nails into his skin. It was harder than he thought that it would be.
"The first to arrive is Lorelei! With Seven battles and a total of Seven wins, can today be her eighth victory?"
A roar of cheers erupted through the arena making Hisoka blink and drop his arms. Peering out the blind he glanced at the once empty ring now held a figure. He had been expecting the woman to wait until after he moved first. It's what he would have done if he had as many wins as she did. Apparently this woman wanted to get this fight done and over with.
~So be it,~ Hisoka swore that his face was going to be sore later tonight from all the smiling he was doing today.
"And next, with a confident stride, comes Hisoka! Can he be the first to break this woman's amazing winning streak?"
Hisoka walked into the stone ring with that smile still on his face and faced the woman that stood there, waiting for him. He had seen Lorelei on several occasions, albeit only on a screen, so he took this chance to take her in face to face.
She appeared to be in her early twenties with long blonde hair and a pair of sea green eyes that instantly told Hisoka that this woman didn't let emotions show often on her face. The clothes that she wore were simple street clothes, a pair of black jeans and a long-sleeved, amethyst shirt with the design of a silver eye on her chest, which never would have told anyone that she was here for a battle. A pair of white and purple sneakers were on her feet and there was a black choker around her neck. Her nails were painted purple as well as black leather bracelets were placed on her wrists.
Hisoka restrained himself from licking his lips again. This was the woman that had caught his sister's attention so fiercely. Just what secrets did she hold? How strong was she really? In the matches that he had watched, this woman barely used her Nen to defeat her opponents, knocking them out merely moments into the match. Whatever training she underwent was clearly harsh and intense. After this battle he was going to have to ask her for her answer.
"KICK HIS ASS, LORI!"
Hisoka felt his lip twitch. He recognized Kyra's voice from behind him in the crowd. He fixed the smirk back to his face. "It's quite disheartening when your friends cheer for the other person, don't you agree?" The woman stared at him for a moment with a blank face.
He closed his eyes. "I'm afraid that my sister's quite upset with me right now. She wanted to fight you first but I got the luck of the draw." He opened his eyes again. "Allow me the joy of making her jealous by actually giving me a good fight, will you?"
The referee moved forward as Lorelei just stared at the taller man, her face blank and unreadable. "Winner by points or KO!" He called. "No time limit. One round!" Hisoka backed up from Lorelei and the referee but the woman just stood there. She wasn't even staring at him anymore, just fixing her gaze on the ground to her left. "Begin!"
"This is it, folks! Who will make the first move?"
Hisoka didn't move, waiting to see what his opponent would do first. The answer he received was not the one that he had been expecting; nor wanted.
Lorelei lifted her gaze to the referee. "I'm leaving."
Everything went silent and for the first time in a long time Hisoka's eyes opened wide in shock and disbelief.
The Referee looked stunned as well. "M-Miss Kudan, you understand that if you leave then you're forfeiting the match and Hisoka will be the winner."
"I don't care," She turned her back to the ring and began moving away.
"I...I don't believe it! Lorelei is forfeiting the match and just walking right out of the ring, making Hisoka the winner and giving her the first lost and breaking her winning streak! What is going on? Has Hisoka frightened her off?!"
Roars of anger and disapproval from the crowd shook the arena as Hisoka stood there in shock, watching as the woman left the ring and disappeared from sight. All this excitement he felt had disappeared at her forfeit and he found anger rising up in him instead. He had been waiting to fight this woman for nearly a week and this was what he gets?
Without another word, Hisoka took off after the blonde woman, ignoring everything else. He wasn't going to accept this. He was going to drag her back to that ring if it was the last thing he did. He wasn't going to let her get away.
The woman was fast, Hisoka would give her that, but he found her soon in a conversation with a familiar face in an empty hall.
"-you're doing?"
The voice came from the man that they had met in the small restaurant that afternoon. Kastro had confronted Lorelei in the hallway and was asking her what she had been thinking, apparently.
"You could have taken him; what's the point of forfeiting? You're losing your winning streak."
"I only need three more wins. I'll get them without a problem."
"That's not the point, Lorelei," Kastro growled. HE shook his head. "What are you doing?"
"Something important has come up tonight and I can't change them. Fighting a pointless match would be a waste of time."
"A pointless match?" Hisoka's voice was dark as he glared at the woman before him. Lorelei turned to face him, her face as blank as it had been in the ring. "What makes you think that?"
"You would bore me."
Her words, plain and simple just like her face, would forever be carved into Hisoka's mind. Never before had someone said that to him, let alone complete with confidence. They stung him, they angered him; they made his mouth water. For someone to have the self-assurance to say that directly to his face proved they truly believed it. Hisoka didn't know whether to be mad, offended, or in love.
"This is a foolish idea, Kudan," Kastro told the woman. "You could still have a chance to go back out there and fight. You-"
"I'm leaving."
For the second time that night, Lorelei moved away from a battle and headed towards the elevator without another word.
Hisoka went to move after her but Kastro tossed an arm out, blocking him. He glared at him but at the look of anger on Kastro's own face as he watched after the same woman made him halt. "I don't accept this," The Magician called after her.
"You would bore me."
The four words that Lorelei Kudan said to him, her first four words, her only words to him, would forever haunt him.
As he watched her form leave the hall, her hair swaying back and forth, she turned in the elevator and stared out at him, locking eyes with him. As the door shut, Hisoka watched as she just stared at him, her face blank as ever until the doors blocked her from view. He felt his excitement rise up again. This woman...
"What are you doing, Kudan?" A sigh came from his left.
"You..." His eyes slid over to the man that still stood in the hall with him. "I want to fight you."
"Me?" Kastro raised his brows.
"Yes. You said you would fight me if I won against her. I won by default but a win is still a win. I've been wanting a fight all night; let's sign up for it tomorrow. I want one; I need one."
Kastro frowned at the elevator again. "I suppose...if I were to beat you..."
~If I show that woman that I won't be a 'bore', as she so happily put it, then she'll want to actually fight me this time!~
Hisoka couldn't explain why being rejected by this woman angered him so much but he did know that he wasn't going to stop until he got an actual, real match from Lorelei Kudan. No one could mock him like that; no one!
"The fight most likely won't be tomorrow but it'll happen in the next few days. Until then..."
Kastro left the hall too, leaving Hisoka to himself. Now alone, Hisoka released his aura, anger finally embracing him completely. Whoever was left in the hall and felt it was smart to leave and get away from the danger. He felt publicly humiliated. It was all he could do not to rush after that woman and kill her. He felt his body shake. She hadn't even stood in the ring with him even a minute before leaving; did she really think him that weak? Did Kiyoma or Kyra have something to do with this?
Hisoka didn't have an answer, another first for him, but he did know that he wasn't going to let this woman get away with it. No, Lorelei was not going to get away with doing this to him; he wouldn't allow it. She may be his sister's friend but there was no way he was going to let this go. Lorelei may not want to fight him yet be he would do all that he could to find a way to get her to do just that; and that was a promise.
