colours of the world
when it come to art, its important not to hide the madness...
chapter 10
She and the others had safely completed the fourth phase of the exam, and were currently on the airship to the finally phase. She had a bad feeling about it, the feeling settling in her gut like deadweight she was forced to carry. Sinea listened as the other talked about their challenges. It seems killua had it the easiest of them all, he told them how easy and bored he'd been all week. She also discovered that killua was an assassin – his last name zoldyck. The dots where joining together.
Kurapika and Leorio seemed have paired up helping each other out till Gon had joined them in hunting for Leorio target. She listened intently as the boy told her about the snakes he thought to can an antidote. She smiled, nodding as he told her tale. "Nee Nee~ sinea" Gon spoke finishing his story.
"Yes?" she asked, looking up from her drawing of a cartoon Gon carrying everyone out of a dark creepy cave.
"What were you doing Hisoka?"
Everyone stopped turning towards the blue haired friend, she froze. She opened her mouth only to have Leorio interrupt, "what you talking about Gon?"
"Well, my target was Hisoka….erm when I was trailing him, I found them together. Hisoka on the log watching sinea who was on the floor" Gon stated with a confused look.
"What? I told you to stay away from that creep!" Leorio rounded on her.
Sinea jumped slightly taking a step back and putting her hands up, "he joined me…nothing happened I promise," she stated weakly, looking at her friends.
She hadn't even noticed Gon presence at the time, he had potential to go far. No wonder Hisoka was interested in the young boy. "You looked like a cute couple" Gon grinned with mischievousness.
Sinea froze, stared wide eye at the boy. The group watched as slowly her face turned red. "Candidate #65, please come to the reception room"
Sinea took no time in turning, hurrying to get out of the limelight. Her checks still burning, this wasn't good. Not good. This was more than her usual attachment. Taking a steading breath she stepped into the room.
"Ah sinea, please take a seat" the chairmen sat in front of the table. She moved forward sitting down on the pillows. "I just want to ask some questions and you can be on your way"
She nodded, "why, above all, do you want to become a hunter?"
Sinea cocked her head, hair parting allowing the chairman to see her red eye, "Erm, there's no particular reason for wanting to become a hunter. I when for a wander"
"Ah right, among the other candidates, which retains most of your attention?"
"Gon, killua, Leorio, kurapika, Hisoka and Gittarackur. They have an aura that draws me to them as an artist"
The chairman nodded, "last question, among the other participants who do you want to fight against the least?"
Sinea cocked her head in thinking, before looking down and tracing a finger on the table making Nen swirls, "I do not wish to fight any of them"
"And if you in a force into a situation to where to be force to fight them what would you do?"
Sinea looked the man dead in the eye, "I would forfeit" she spoke evenly.
"If I remember correctly, during the second phase you fought against other participant who was unhappy about the situation, how is that any different?" the chairman counter, leading forward in his sit.
"That was a different situation, a different time. No two paintings are the same, I was giving the man lessons on opponent appreciation and to expect the unexpected. I would not have called that a fight." Her tone was flat and calm.
"So no matter what, against the other participants you would purposefully lose? Even to those who you have don't mentioned"
"Yes"
The chairman signed, before placing a file on the table. Sinea looked at her curiously as he opened it, she scanning over the content inside, having already memorised what was written a long time ago. "Does this decision have anything to do with this?"
Her eyes dropped to the ground, "yes"
"Very well, you may go" the chairman nodded, a glint in his eyes as he watched the retreating back of sinea. The door close and he looked towards the table, the swirls could be seen clear as day making a repetitive pattern. He chuckled looking back towards her medical file – more precisely her psychosocial diagnosis, "what am I going to do with you? You ruined my plans…or maybe you didn't, what an interesting child we have"
-Time skip-
"The last trail will be in the form of duels 1v1" the chairman spoke to everyone in the room.
She frowned listening to the as the chairman spoke about the point system and such. It seems that only one person would lose… so much for being a hunter, "hey! Theirs a number missing!" Leorio yelled drawing her out of her thoughts.
"Ah, yes, candidate #65, will do be partaking in the duels" the chairmen nodded a grin across his face. She blinked confused by the man's actions.
"Now, anymore questions?"
An young archer started to speak, "bu-"
"No? Good we shall begin then" the chairman cut him off, commencing the start of the final exam
They moved back, the archer glaring at her. Sinea cocked a head at the chairman who just winked before a man in a black suit stepped forward, "first match! Hanzo versus gon!"
Gon and the ninja stepped forward. After a few words the match began.
Less than an hour passed, Gon was practically helpless against the stronger teen. The ninja just casually beating him up to force him to surrender, but Gon wasn't giving up yet. Her eyes were wide, arms hugging herself as she watched unable to take her eyes away.
She couldn't draw – not this – not her friends be beaten. Her breathing became ragged, as she tried to control her emotions. She could feel it, starting to consume her. Here third ability wanting to active.
An hour passed, her situation was getting worse. Her breathing hectic. Eyes unfocused – her red colouring starting to drain into the grey one. She couldn't take it any longer, if she didn't draw, didn't do something; anything she was going to lose it. Then they would all die. A hand started to scratch. To scratch her other wrist, in attempt to take her mind away from Gon getting beaten. Her Nen going dark. As her insanity started to eat away at her control – begging to be let out.
"Hisoka…" she whispered quietly without realising and unknowingly getting the red head attention.
Hisoka glanced towards the female, smile spreading across his face at the sight out her. Shoulders shaking, breathing ragged, her nen turning dangerously dark. He stepped closer, spotting the red staining her grey eye, their wear still spots of grey. He remembered her words, 'if my eyes go red, run and take everyone you value with you', honestly he wanted to told what happens when it completed goes red, but now wasn't the time.
He felt eyes on him, he glanced towards the chairman. Netero pointed to the door and nodded. Hisoka shrugged, before grabbing her wrist and pulling her back – dragging her out of the room. Sinea didn't register any of this – mind set of not losing it around everyone.
"Sinea~" Hisoka purred, pulled her into the next room. "Sinea~" he repeated, trying to get her attention.
He frowned, but watched as her eye returned to grey, it seems that seeing her friend in prevail caused the red to move. A defence mechanism then?
Such an interesting toy. "Hisoka?" she mumbled, eyes locking onto the male.
Her breathing still ragged, body shaking but no longer as violent as they once were, "yes, little princess?"
"Get out"
He blinked, shocked by her tone. The snarl was not something he expected from the female. He didn't have time to respond as two hands pushed him out of the room; the door slamming shut in his face. He blinked again, but chose to re-join the others, a smirk across his face.
Sinea paused for just a moment. To steady her hands, before her work started – she needed to let it out, every image that threaten to consume her control. She went straight to her supplies, taking out her materials. Pages apon pages of blank paper to be used, leaving her pencil she when straight to black ink.
As she put her insanely to the page, she began to draw.
