chapter 3

Hisoka, watched the blue haired girl from the corner of his eye. Sinea was not something he was expecting to fine at the hunter exam, he licked his lips thinking back. He had noticed a change in the girl Nen and wanted to investigate.

To his upmost surprise, he noticed that she must be a Nen user. He thought back to the moment.

The stranger announce himself to the crowd, but Hisoka wasn't paying attention. Instead he shifted noticing a change in one of his precious toys Nen.

He moved beside her, the girl in question not noticing what was happening around her, just stared blankly forward hand scribbling in her sketchbook.

He leaned forward, his face level with her own examine the drawing.

He could see the pencil Drawing of the imposer examiner beginning fall with cards sticking out of him. Hisoka raised an eyebrow recognising the cards as his own, he was sure he hadn't played with them yet. His graze moved to her face, eyes widening at what he saw.

Instead of the one eye being a pale grey, both were now grey- as if the colour had drained into the other giving her a blind lifeless look.

~back to the present.

Who knew that his toy already knew Nen.

Who would have guessed that she could predict the future as that is what she had done.

Who would suspected that her eyes would change colour.

He was going to have a lot of fun with this individual. He wondered what else she could do. He wondered what happened when her eyes went the other way.

Sinea in question was daydream, being distracted by how the blood and fog merged to make patterns in the swamp around her, she suck by Leorio and kurapika as they ran. Trying to follow the main pack… unsuccessfully.

She watched as Leorio got picked up by some strange creature, "do you want any help Leorio?" she asked over the roaring.

"No, I'm fine just keep an eye on yourself sinea!" he yelled back, struggling to get out of creatures grip.

"If you need anything just say" sinea responded back, keeping an eye on the males, just in case.

Somehow Leorio managed to get free from the hold and the three of them spend past the beast in a vague direction. She noticed the presence and lust before the other two, of the man that acquired her thoughts. She felt his lust and didn't want to stop. Someone might end up losing their life.

"Stop….over there" Leorio said pointing to the direction of Hisoka. She glanced at him nervously.

"We should not stop" she commented, glancing at kurapika hoping he would take her side in this.

"We can follow him to the main pack" Leorio argued.

"But..."

"There's no point in arguing with him, sinea, he won't change his mind" kurapika cut across her, signing at his friends.

She frowned slightly turning towards the scene, sketch book out in hand, ready.

"I saw you last year, knew you weren't hunter material" the ring leader of the group spoke at the red head in spike.

"We'll spare you if you swear not to take the hunter exam again" another man commented. Hisoka was surrounded by at least 10 men, all wearing the same style clothing and holding various weapons.

"Sure~" Hisoka purred, his smile unchanging. "I'm passing the exam this year, so I won't need to retake it"

"Passing? Idiot!" one of the group yelled with frustration, "look at this fog!" it's impossible to determine which direction the main pack went!"

"Meaning we've all failed!" a man to his right shouted.

Hisoka chuckled, sinea eyes narrowed as his Nen moved, "So that's why. Having already failed, you wish to play examiner. Hunters require prey. So why don't I play the examiner and judge whether you are hunter material?"

His Nen flared as a card appeared in his hand, the group instinctively tensed preparing to attack. As one they ran towards him, swiping at him with the weapons in his hands. As one they fell to the ground, dead. Hisoka licked the blood off the signal card he used to slit the groups throat.

Sinea gasped slightly, Hisoka movement was as graceful as a dance, she wish that he wasn't out for blood as she wasn't able to draw the fluid movement.

She blinked as he took the card out of the ring leader, who had been stuttering for help. Hisoka's golden eyes darted towards them, "now care to participate, in my little game of examiner?" he purred.

Sinea movement slowly on to the balls of her feet preparing to either flee or attack, "Leorio, Sinea" she glance with glazed eyes towards the blonde, "on my signal we run in opposite directions"

She gave him a curt nod, readying herself. It was a sound plan, she would rather not fight her moving artwork. And she wasn't sure who would win. Leorio on the other plan wasn't so sure on the idea of running. "What?"

"He is vastly more experienced in real combat. We won't stand a chance against him" kurapika explained, as the magician stepped closer. Sinea keep her eyes locked with his in an unblinking stare as if daring him to attack. She wanted to see more of this graceful movements, even if someone were to die "we cannot afford to squander time in a pointless fight!" he concluded.

Hisoka was nearly a foot away before his Nen flared slightly and a card appeared, it was then she broke eye contact as kurapika shouted "now!"

She darted off, instantly going into zestu. As soon as she got a reasonably distance away she doubled back, creeping along to were Hisoka was. He wasn't hiding his presence and she could practically feel his satisfaction from where she croched.

She didn't see but feel Leorio walk back towards Hisoka. She frowned before jumping up into a tree that had a clear view of the clearing. She flicked her sketch book open, using her nen to automatically open to the page she desired.

To a page with a detailed coloured watercolour of a female sniper on the back of a truck holding a large sniper rifle, in her hands. Sinea, dipped a hand into the page, before dragging the sniper rifle into reality.

Her second nen ability metamorphosis art, the ability to make her art into reality and vice versa. Though there were limitations to the ability, all she needed was a drawing - so her sketch book that never left her side was a good idea. She couldn't bring the living things she drew to life and those living things she placed into her book stayed only for a limited time. Plants however were a grey zone, sometimes there alive sometimes not.

Leorio walked back into the clearing, stick in hand as he mumbled "this may not be my fight..."

She chose to ignore the man's rant and move closer, resting the butt of the gun on her shoulder she looked down the scope, waiting for the right moment. Hisoka moved to grab the man with his sharpened nails from behind Leorio who had just tried to hit him. She was about to pull the trigger when out of nowhere a red ball wacked Hisoka's temple, whipping his head round.

She waited using the scope to watch the scene, gon stood at the edge of the clearly, fishing rod in hand, "not bad little boy~" Hisoka purred.

Sinea blood ran cold, as Hisoka started to stalk towards the young boy, Leorio jumped up behind the red head yelling "your fight is with me!" but she knew it was futile.

Hisoka turned punching Leorio in the face, knocking him out cold. She wanted to stop them, as gon sprung in an attempted to save his friend.

She couldn't pull the trigger, Hisoka was moving too fast, so she waited. Waited till Hisoka had his hand around Gon's neck, "how wonderful~" the golden eye man purred, his eyes narrowing, as his hand tighten around the young boy's throat.

She knew people like him, people who liked to play, that waited until the opponents became strong enough for them to kill without mercy, she just needed Hisoka to realise what he was doing to break him out of this trance. She had grown up in a city full of people like him. Thought it wasn't classed as a city, but a trash heap.

She pulled the trigger, as Gon started to go limp.

Hisoka blinked, before dropping Gon to the ground, "Do not fear, I will not kill your friend. He passed" Hisoka smiled at the coughing form of gon.

Hisoka eyes moved up into the braches towards her perk, eyes glittering as he spotted her. Stood tall, the sniper rifle in both hands a slight frown across her face - both eyes visible and narrowed.

Sinea turned away, jumping out of sight as she put the gun away and ran towards Gon. Arriving the same time as kurapika.

"Gon are you okay?" she asked, quickly scanning over gon.

"Yeah, I'm fine let's go!" he grinned at them before running off.

"You know where they going?" kurapika questioned following the small boy.

"Leorio has a specific cologne, I can smell it from anywhere" gon explained, as he sniffed the air.

Sinea and kurapika exchanged looks before following gon, all the way to the second stage.
