She gave the birds a few minutes to get used to her, to 'know' her. Unlike Orion, they took to her immediately, preening when she pet their feathers. They were clean, and she marvelled at their softness. Unconsciously, she felt her cheeks start to hurt, the muscles she normally didn't use straining to hold up the smile. She dropped the smile immediately, of course. Even if the birds didn't fear her smile, it was tiring.

So focused on the ravens she was that she didn't notice time slip by. It took the clock's chime to jolt her back to reality. Luna's eyes shot to the clock, and widened. One hour before dawn. She started running.

It was only when she got halfway back to Kaido's estates that she realized she was now a blacklist hunter. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't mind. It was much more interesting than all other forms of hunting, and with her occupation, she came across criminals more often than she came across, say, treasure. Luna highly doubted that the 'treasure' the Ryoudan plundered would count, since those had already been discovered.

But she did not live in normal circumstances. She was Chrollo's pet assassin, as much as she disliked the term 'pet' when referring to herself, which meant she spent a lot of her time with a group of the most wanted criminals in the world. Being a blacklist hunter was not ideal for such a situation. Chrollo probably wouldn't mind, Luna thought, but the rest of the Ryoudan would. Then she proceeded to think a little more. Actually, those she met probably wouldn't mind, considering that they had learned to trust her. Not as much as they trusted the rest of the Ryoudan, obviously, but since they usually didn't trust anybody, having even a smidgen of their trust said a lot. The only problem was the ones she had not met yet.

She almost walked into a wall. Luna stopped and looked up, a little surprised. Her feet had brought her to Kaido's estates, her body naturally following Hisoka's presence. It probably wasn't a good thing that she had a homing instinct towards Hisoka. Actually, since when did she have a homing instinct?

"Caw!"

The ravens sitting on her shoulders fluttered their wings, the glossy feathers hitting her on the side of the head. They were agitated, and becoming increasingly so. Huginn and Muninn would have taken off long ago—if they hadn't gotten the sense that the girl's shoulders were the safest places to be.

"Hisoka," Luna said.

Even she felt the urge to run now. Hisoka stalked over like a colourful predator, shoulders hunched and golden eyes trained on her form. The focus he had on her was terrifying, to say the least. Luna knew she was a top predator. But she wasn't an apex predator yet.

"Chibi-chan," Hisoka murmured, halting in front of her with a hand propped on his waist.

Luna gulped, but she didn't move. She stood with all her muscles clenched tightly, because she knew that if she loosened a single one, she would bolt. And if she tried to escape, Hisoka's urges would take over, and he would hunt her.

Hisoka smiled through clenched teeth, eyes blazing with wrath. A hand fell too heavily onto Luna's head in a mock pat, but she didn't react. She supposed she deserved that. Better than him tearing out her throat, she thought.

"You got yourself kidnapped," Hisoka said.

She nodded.

"And you let yourself get kidnapped," Hisoka continued.

She hesitated, but nodded again.

"Because of two birds," Hisoka hissed.

She nodded a third time, peering up at him through her lashes. Luna felt like some child scolded by their parents for staying out late. Honestly, it had never happened to her, because her family was anything but normal. Still, she had seen such scenes, but never had she thought it would happen to her. Even if Hisoka was the furthest thing from her parent.

Hisoka with children. She shuddered at the thought.

"Chibi, do you want to be punished?" Hisoka asked, voice low and hostile.

She shook her head frantically. Hisoka's bloodlust faded slightly, and the tension drained from his body. She almost relaxed. Almost. There was still a dangerous light in his eyes that made her wary.

"You belong to me, Chibi-chan," Hisoka purred. "You're not allowed to let someone else kidnap you. Do I need to carve my name on you?"

She thought quickly. "I'll bite you."

"Hmm…"

"I'll bite you if you don't," Luna corrected.

Hisoka sighed dramatically before he pouted. "You drive a hard bargain."

"Well?" Luna asked with a tad of impatience.

"Deal," Hisoka said, a smile curling his lips. Then after a moment of silence, Hisoka raised an eyebrow. "Well?"

Luna cocked her head, confused for a moment, before she realized what he was asking about. "I'm not going to bite you here!"

"In the room then?"

"In the room," Luna agreed quickly.

She barely had time to finish that last word before Hisoka's hand clamped down over her wrist and he dragged her inside, forcing her into an awkward half jog to keep up with his longer strides. If he was a normal person, she would be staring at him in disbelief. But he was Hisoka. He liked receiving pain as much as he liked inflicting it. Hisoka shoved her into the room, and with a bunt kick to Orion's rear, sent the yowling cat bolting out the door. The ravens, of course, had the brains to follow.

And they were alone. Hisoka stared expectantly at her, and her eyes roamed his body. Where in the world was she supposed to bite him? Not his hands, that was for sure. She had no idea where they had been and what they had been in, and that would be highly unhygienic. Luna wasn't fond of getting a mouth full of cloth either.

As if reading her mind, Hisoka stripped off his shirt. Luna's eyes widened just a little, and her heart skipped a beat. She mentally shook her head to get rid of those thoughts, and focused on finding a place to bite. Finally she settled on the shoulder. Her mouth would fit over the muscle, and she could bite down without causing too much damage. Hisoka wouldn't particularly care either way, but she did.

Hesitantly, she took a small step closer, and seeing that Hisoka did not intend to move, she moved close enough to feel his body heat. Luna didn't look, but she knew Hisoka was grinning, and a little further down, something was probably hardening at the prospect of pain.

Her tongue flicked out over warm flesh, marking the place she would bite. Hisoka's breath caught and a visible shudder ran through him. His hands twitched towards her, but he changed his mind and gripped the edge of the bed instead, as if reluctant to scare her away with a touch.

She bit.

Luna had no idea whatsoever what she was supposed to do now. Her teeth were clamped tightly enough that a single twitch would draw blood, and she could hear Hisoka panting next to her ear. Her eyes rolled downwards, scanning the bed and Hisoka's bare back. Was she supposed to move away now? But Hisoka's hands had snaked around her back and waist, holding her there. Luna shifted her leg back a little so the bulge was no longer touching her thigh, but the rest of her body couldn't move. Thus, with nothing to do, Luna's tongue reached out to tickle the flesh between her teeth, and Hisoka's nails dug into her back.

Finally her jaw started to ache, so she lifted her head and examined the teeth mark on the magician's pale shoulder. Blood spots appeared under the red and angry skin, which shone from her saliva. She could see the skin begin to smoke, the poison from her mouth burning the top layer. Even though her teeth were no longer connected to the man, he refused to let go. In fact, he seemed to be holding even tighter, his nails now uncomfortably close to piercing skin.

"Hisoka," Luna squirmed, trying to alleviate the discomfort. She was, for sure, not a masochist.

Hisoka's fingers relaxed, but his head tilted, and his lips found her neck. She stiffened. Was he going to bite…? But he wasn't as rough as she had been, and his teeth only nipped at flesh, the pain stinging but not unbearable. One hand moved lower while the other ran up her side, travelling to her chest to find the clasp of the cloak. With a small click, it slid off her frame to pool at her feet.

The magician pulled back to smirk at her, and that was the only warning she got before she was bodily thrown into the bed. Her eyes widened for a moment, before she realized what Hisoka wanted. She almost sighed. She really should have expected it. After fighting and sating his bloodlust, he had another lust he needed to deal with. Fighting excited him, after all.

Luna quickly stripped off her clothes. She didn't have many spares, and she did not need Hisoka shredding what she had. Hisoka watched her expose her skin, tongue travelling across his lower lip in satisfaction. With a flick of his fingers, he removed his pants and crawled on top of her, hovering for a moment. And without warning or preparation he thrust in, revelling in the sharp gasp of pain from the girl below him.

He took what he wanted.

He could find out how to make her scream in pleasure later.
