Author's Note: Yattaa~! Another update. *waits for applause* xD

Okay so before you guys butcher me for any OOC I warn you. I had to box up all my HxH manga since I'm moving and all so I couldn't refresh my memory of any of the canon characters and I was too lazy to search up all the episodes that had Hisoka. Also I've changed up my writing style a tad, so watch out for the point of view changes as you read along. I really hope you guys like this chapter. Please review when you're done and feel free to stab me if Hisoka was OOC.

Oh oh and one more thing, because I lack noticing my own grammar mistakes until after publish chapters I was wondering if anyone would like to be my beta reader? Or just private message me if you're interested in giving me a small hand when you have time. Other than that please enjoy!


Kowai, kowai

In love with an akuma

Oi oi

He's playing with your heart

What was going on? Bodyguard? Hisoka? Since when? The last time he'd checked, Scarlett and Hisoka were on thin ice. Since when had Scarlett become so close to Hisoka? Kurapika would've tried to convince himself it was just a mere joke, but he couldn't-not with the wick magician's arm placed so casually around his friend's shoulder. It made his heart race.

It wasn't so much as he was worried that Hisoka was about to try something, but because his unexpected appearance was…to unexpected. Weren't they supposed to meet September 1st to discuss the Phantom Troupe?

"Get off me. Since when did I allow you to get all friendly with me?" Scarlett huffed and shoved his arm off her shoulder. An action which made Hisoka's grin almost playful, "I thought that piece of gum you offered me some few weeks ago was a token of our friendship."

"Your breath just smelled bad. Ugh, you're almost as annoying as Alexis," She turned her attention back to the blonde, who watched them with cautious eyes.

"Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention him last night. As you can see he's something I rather not think about."

Kurapika's eyes narrowed slightly at his friend's words. Not because he was angry with her, but because he knew Scarlett well. Well enough to tell that she was acting way to carefree with the magician. Her comments and mingling with Hisoka were actually disturbing to him. It worried him.

"Oh? With him last night? Perhaps I shouldn't have skipped out on playing bodyguard." Scarlett ignored him, "He'll go away if you don't give him any attention."

Before the conversation could go any further a short chubby woman Scarlett had been introduced to the day before came out from the room. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything..." Melody remarked with a look of concern. Obviously, Kurapika knew that his friend had heard the entire conversation, and came out when his heart beat had changed.

"Not at all," Hisoka answered for all three of them, his hands now on his hips. His slanted grey eyes caught Kurapika's angry ones. Taunting him silently, his eyes teasingly asking Kurapika 'You want to know about the Spiders and why I'm here~'

"We were just leaving," Scarlett pushed Hisoka to follow her, "Sorry for disrupting you guys." Her eyes caught Kurapika's and exchanged an apologetic glance, "Don't worry I'll be fine. "

The Kurta boy watched his friend walk along side with death.


"Texting a friend?" Hisoka asked from where he sat on the couch in her room. One leg was folded over the other, his chin perched on his hand as he gazed over the young woman who was laying over the sheets of her bed and her iPhone held in both her hands.

"None of your business." Her reply was blunt. Her gaze didn't even shift away for a split second from the screen.

Hisoka snickered. She'd thrown herself so carelessly on the bed in disregard to his presence. In fact he'd noticed a huge difference in her posture and actions around him recently. Had she forgotten that they were rivals? It was as if she had become used to him- so much that her guard was entirely down.

He pointed his finger at her phone and yanked it right out of her hands with his bungee gum before she had time to conjure up a knife to cut his nen.

"Hey!" Scarlett shot up from the bed and threw him a glare as Hisoka 'innocently' looked through her messages.

"I ran into Kurapika, he's with me now. I'll keep you guys updated about what's going on until we meet September 1st~" Hisoka read her message out loud. He gave an amused smirk, "you're rather close to those two boys."

"Not really. Me and Gon get along fine. I wouldn't say I'm too close to Killua."

"Didn't you help get him back?"

"Yeah, he's part of the group and he's important to Gon."

"You're so cute~"

Just then her phone vibrated in his hand, "a message from your young lover?"

"Hey! Stop that!"

"Thank you onee-san, we'll keep you updated as well. See you soon. And then there's an emotion face."

"Give me back my phone Hisoka," Scarlett found herself going over to him and trying to snatch the phone away from the magician. Of course he wouldn't make it an easy feat. In the midst of his eluding and her struggle she soon found herself on the couch with their bodies tangled in her attempt to grab the phone he held just out of reach with his arm.
"Give it back!" Finally leaning over his lap, snatched her cell phone and fell over on him, "Baka!"

"You're pretty bold."

"Am I?" She answered back while looking up from where she laid. She was wasn't she? How was she supposed to act around him? He had placed himself right into her life and it was hard not getting used to his presence.

Of course he was a creep, but living with him made her realize he was more of a pest than anything else; just an annoying man with nothing to do but to amuse himself with a girl.

"I see you've gotten to comfortable with me around." He smirked, his nen already taking on a different form.

" What gave you that idea?" She sat up and slipped off his lap to the empty spot beside him. her heart beat quickened in reaction to is nen hence activating her own.

He snickered, "Oh? Suddenly cautious? Afraid I might play something on you?"

"Aren't you?" she raised a brow but found it hard to look him straight in the eyes. Why? Those occasional flashes of their bodies touching and clashing, their lips and tongue caught up in one another came back to the young girl. Her insides knotted up when she didn't exactly mind that happening. How many times had he stolen a kiss from her now? How many times was he there when no one else was around to comfort her?

In his own strange way, Hisoka had never let her down-even from before they had any normal interactions with each other. He had been something dazzling to her. someone radiating with deadly power. Rather than scare her, it intrigued Scarlett. It made her burn with excitement.

He was so…alluring to her.

"What do you suppose I'll do to you? Hm~?" he leaned over closer to her; his long slender fingers twirled a lock of her curly black hair before pulling it slightly and letting go.

A shiver ran down her spine. Why wasn't she pushing him away as always? Sure she was attracted to him-dangerous as it was. There was that chance of blood lust returning if they got tangled up in each other….

Scarlett's cheeks tinted a deep red. What the hell was she thinking?! How could she be alright with just caving in to his seduction just because he was there! Or was more to the simple attraction than she allowed herself to believe?

There was no way her heart was racing because she had feelings for the twisted magician. No way in hell.

And yet she shifted her gaze to his, almost obediently giving in her fantasies of both of them. For a moment just wondering how it really would be like to pretend to love the psychopath. Would it really be that bad?

Without thinking-or even answering Hisoka's question she leaned in and impulsively pressed her lips against his in a way that seemed a little too naïve. It lasted no more than a few seconds; clearly not enough time for Hisoka to react to her unexpected action. Their eyes made contact, Hisoka's rather skeptical but humored and Scarlett's…well…rather blank.

….

In an instant Scarlett's face fumed. Literally. She could feel her cheeks on fire. All those feelings of admiration, excitement, and fantasy becoming reality all formed into a momentary hatred for the man who hypnotized her into making the first move. How else could she have so idiotically leaned in by will and planted a kiss on him?!

"Aksjvnadfvadv," she randomly shoved a pillow in his face to hide that accursed smirk of his, "Don't give me that smile!"

He pulled the couch pillow away to reveal his all too amused grin, "I see I'm not the only one whose thoughts drift in that direction."

She stood up abruptly. Hisoka's grey eyes followed her movement, "Baka! I just- wasn't thinking!"

Something tugged at her forcing her to slowly cave back on the couch. Her eyes widened, that freaking bastard. Turning her gyo she found the bungee gum on multiple areas of her body, namingly her joints.

A stifled snicker escaped him as he forced her knees to dig into the cushions of the couch he sat on, her hips straddling his lap. His eyes gleamed with laughter, taunting her as he one upped her, "It's almost baffling to me how much you trust a liar." His grip tight around her hands disarmed her from creating any form of weapons.

There it was again. The pounding of Scarlett's heart deafened her for a moment. Despite the shitty situation she'd just placed herself in, that regretful feeling of excitement came rushing back in her veins. The danger and thrill that Hisoka emitted was what strangely drew the girl in. The way he looked at her like she was his prey, his tongue running over his lips like she was something appealing to him.

She hesitated, when he leaned in, her attempt of resistance was even half hearted; only turning her head away before his firm lips found her softer more feminine ones. His hands not quite around her rested on the sides of her waist, his nen almost unbearable if it weren't for her own to counter his.

In a matter of seconds their kiss had turned into a series of short heated kisses. Hisoka's tongue twisted against hers between their lips. Pushing into her mouth when he wanted to bite her lower lip and leave a trail of kisses down her neck.

The way she quickly lost her breath fueled Hisoka's lust for her. The sounds of her faint panting made endless shivers run down his spine. She sounded so helpless, so desirable and arousing. He could kill her right there and now if he wanted too. The bulge in his pants became more apparent-more refined under her. How long had it been since he'd had sex? Usually his sexual desires were quenched with blood lust and murder.

This was a little different. He could feel the warmth of her member press against his.

"Ahh...stop," her words that came out in a moan while he bit her neck didn't quite help her. It only made it increasingly harder for Hisoka to stop.

"Stooop," she said it again and this time yanked at his grip. Again her plead went unacknowledged.

And then it happened.

Scarlett slammed her forehead so hard against his head that Hisoka's grip on her hands loosened enough for her to conjure up a blade to cut herself free of his bungee gum and roll off to the side, "I meant it Hisoka!" she snapped while holding her head, a bruise actually beginning to appear right in the center of her forehead.

Her brown eyes fell on Hisoka, who kept his head laid back over the top of the couch cushion. There was without a doubt a throbbing where their heads had collided, but that did nothing to the lust he was now struggling to hold back.

His insides twitched. His skin was hot to the touch. And his erection was painfully obvious even with his pants holding it down. Oh she really shouldn't have done that. How could he possibly hold back now? He might even break her in the process. It'd become clear to Hisoka that she was inexperienced. Her kisses were too innocent; it was like biting into a fruit so sweet yet unripe at the same time.

He could really kill her with all this lust.

And that really wasn't something he wanted to happen just yet.

Without a word the redheaded man arouse from his seat. His upper figure was hunched so his arms hung by his sides. Just barely controlling himself. He kept his gaze forward, not daring to give her a glance. He'd find someone to kill-to satisfy his twisted lust.

The magician left.

Her chest heaved heavily and a sigh escaped her lips that bled from his bites. She didn't even have to look in the mirror to know he'd left marks on her olive colored skin.

Scarlett fell back onto the floor and gazed up at the ceiling. Her hand was still pressed against the bruise on her forehead. What had just happened? Why'd she make him stop? Wasn't that what she wanted?

But there was one question she couldn't ignore any longer. This very question that was the answer to all the others; why was she falling for a man that could love no one?

She let out a strangled sob at the realization of what could possibly be her demise.

And again she felt more alone than ever.
