Hisoka's Kiss

Mikoto P.O.V

I threw another card at the tree in frustration.

I was tracking Gon-kun and Killua-kun with my fortune cards but they were as useless as seagull poop. The both of them were dear friends of mine during the Hunter Exam. Not to mention Leo-kun and Kura-kun but I already knew what they were up to and they are being terribly boring. I was tracking their movements then suddenly their signal went out. I had a feeling that they had went to GreedIsland or something. Or was it WhalesIsland? I can't remember. I heard they were after the game, thanks to Ging. He told me a few days before. I groan in frustration and fell back on the grass. Ging was my teacher so I probably can't blame him for leaving out "clues" for his adorable son. I smile at the thought. I always favoured Gon and Killua more than the others.

Yawning, I rested my hands under my head and watch the clouds float by.

I wonder what is Hisoka doing... I thought to myself, grinning. After tagging along with him for some time after the Hunter exam, I was quite fond of the sadistic magician. He pretends not to notice me most of the time, but he looks out for me. I almost got caught in a trap once and he saved me within minutes. I managed to stick with him for awhile before setting off to find Gon and Killua.

But, oh well. Can't do anything about it now. I sniffed the air. There was something bloodthirsty within the shadows of the tree. I ignored it, probably some animal thinking I was some sort of easy food. I smiled maliciously, well, if it came to that, I'll just have to kill it.

"Aren't you suppose to be doing something entertaining, Mikoto? I thought somebody said she desired entertainment." I heard a voice ask in a tree nearby. I sighed, realizing where the bloodlust came from.

Not even bothering to look away from the sky, I answer casually, "Says the sadistic magician to the annoyed assassin...How about you? I thought you had leads where Gon-kun is...Shouldn't you be stalking your little Apple-chan?" Shuddering at the Apple-chan, I glance sideways at the shadow and lowered my eyelids teasingly,

"Hisoka."

I watch him leap off the tree and stride towards me. I observed his outfit and sniffed.

"You change your clothes...And you will attract mosquitoes if you wear black." I commented and he just ignored me. In a single graceful motion, he sat next to me, cross-legged, and took out a stack of cards and started to shuffle them. I huffed and sat up, placing my hands behind my head and watch him.

I grin boyishly at his calm expression. "Well? Are you ignoring me now, Hisoka-san?" I watch his predator-like eyes slide to me and the side of his mouth lifted a little. "Maybe."

I roll my eyes and huffed. Lying back down, I waited for him to talk first.

"I was looking for him, but apparently, I find you more delicious right now..."I heard him said softly. I smirked.

Seriously, that guy.

I sat up again and beckoned at the cards sticking out of the bark of the poor tree. They wriggle free and landed on my hand in a neat stack. I smiled at them and flick my wrist and they disappeared into a puff of smoke. I saw him smile in fascination in the corner of my eye.

"You should be a magician you know…" He started and I glared at him. He smiled innocently (imagine the disaster.), and continued, "Well, I heard all your shouting and screeching and groaning, I just had to come by….Mikoto-chan~" I shivered at his comment and he chuckled.

I stared at him disdainfully and got up. He watch me silently as I stood there with my hands in my pockets. I waited for him to continue, but apparently he was staying silent for the same reason. I scratch my ear and retorted, "Geez, don't talk my ear off…I plan on going to the Heaven's Arena again…" I gave him a sideways glance but he was busy shuffling his cards and building a card tower. I sighed and sat opposite of him. I already learn his habits so I guess I have to just wait for him.

I watched him placed the cards carefully, observing his every move. I saw him shiver a bit and raised an eyebrow at him but he ignored me. I watch his movements and wondered. His movements have a cat-like elegance and his fingernails remind me of claws. If he was an animal, I'd say he would be a Siamese Cat. I mentally giggled as I thought of him as a cat.

I look into his eyes and was mesmerized. His gold eyes seemed bored but behind those unamused eyes lie determination and desire. I cocked my head and watch his eyes, emotions flowing back and forth like ocean waves. "Why," He started and those golden eyes moved slowly to mine, "Are you staring at me like that?"

I smirked, "What's wrong? Embarrassed that a little girl is as bloodthirsty as you are? Puh~lease, Hisoka~ You know me too well~" I cooed at him and he smirked.

"Oh~ You want to play it like that, hmm?" I grin and got up. "I get a five minute head start, okay?"

Then I disappeared.

Hisoka P.O.V

I smiled to myself. I have certainly grew too soft on that girl. But still, she make a good play partner. I licked my lips. Five minutes was over. "Ready or not, here I come~" I muttered in a singsongy way. I ran up to a tree to search for my little girl.

I step onto a high branch of a tree and scoured the forest. A high-pitched cry went out. My head snapped to the direction of the shriek. I squinted at the sunlight. The scream came again, more fearful this time.

I felt my eyes open in horror. Realizing what was happening, I shot towards the sound, feeling terrified and worried for the first time.
