chapter 4
They made it just in time. She signed in relief spotting Leorio placed against a tree. Gon soon spotted his friend – no thanks to Hisoka. He dragged the pair over as Leorio started to come round, not remembering what had happened. Killua soon joining them, asking where gon had disappeared off to, "are you a dog or what?!" killua mutter in surprised after explaining what had happened.
Sinea looked about, more relaxed after spotting Leorio alive and well. As her eyes scanned the crowd, she opened her book, using her Nen to clear away the drawing of some of the participants who didn't make it the second stage, there was a lot who didn't, but less that she expected.
Instantly as she cleared the pages, her pencil was out and they began to fill with quickly sketches of what she'd seen, more specifically, Hisoka and his golden eyes – Of his fluid and graceful movements, his killing skill. He was a deadly artwork to her. He was more than likely going to kill her if she wasn't careful. But an artwork creation; she was starting to want.
"Well done everyone" the examiner interrupted any conversions, "phase two of the exam will occur here, in the Biska forest park. So, I shall take my leave. Best of luck to all of you" he called out before strolling back into the forest.
There was the grounding of gears as the doors to a large building opened up behind them, she cocked her head in interest, glazed eyes scanning for anything that would do them harm. Nothing.
"Will all applicant who passed the first phase please enter?" a female voice call from within.
She glance at the group, before walking through the gates into what seemed to be a yard with…..cooking stations. Sinea frowned slightly. She wasn't the greatness cook.
It seemed though that the cooking station were left unnoticed by most, as murmurers of theory test and fighting spread. When everyone had entered the yard, the women spoke, "I'm Menchi the second phase examiner"
The women had light blue hair that was stuck up into five pony tails, she wore a see though fish netting tank top and short shorts; behind her was a larger man, that seem to resemble a giant with a yellow shirt that looked too small for him. "And I'm Buhara, the other examiner" the giant man commented.
She began to sketch out the scene, of Menchi sat on the sofa in front of the sitting giant. She blinked pausing and look up at a strange sound..….she could have sworn it was the sound of a stomach rumbling.
"You must be hungry" the women Mechi stated looking up at the larger man, confirming her thoughts.
"I'm starving…" said man complained.
"There you have it, phase two will involve…" she paused for effect, "…COOKING!"
Sinea signed as her shoulders dropped, she couldn't cook. Back at her gallery she normally ordered takeaway having no time to cook normal food. She was always painting, drawing - creating art, normally she didn't even get the chance to eat the takeaway, especially if she was too caught up in her creations.
Spending days without, or eating the right stuff was never a good sign.
She frowned, listening asked Menchi talked over the grumbling participants, "That's because, we are gourmet's hunters, and the first dish is pork!" she waved them always.
And so the second phase began.
Sinea followed the group out into the forest, looking about for anything to use as pork, they wouldn't give them a task without ingredients in the local area, right? "How do you cook pork?" she asked to no one in-particular.
"Get a pig, kill a pig then roast it, simple" Leorio commented matter a factly.
"Roast it?" she questioned. As the group slid down a slope, all following Gon's nose.
"Yeah, I show ya, this phase is gonna be easy!" Leorio grinned moving the glasses up on this nose.
The group froze, spotting the herd of very very large pigs.
Sinea tilted her head, "aren't pig's vegetarian not carnivore?" she asked spotting the bones in the closest pigs mouth.
"Yeah I'm sure they opposed to be..." kurapika mumbled taking in the sight.
"Ugh….their chewing bone…." Leorio gulped.
Her eyes narrowed slightly noticing the movement in the pigs, "oh, looks this they noticed us..." she commented just before the herd stampeded towards them.
As one, the group turned tail and ran gaining the attention of everyone in the local vicinity, killua turned to Leorio, "this doesn't seem simple, you dumbfus!"
After a moment running, the group decision the fight back. Gon went first, discovering the weak spot behind the pigs, large hard snort.
Everyone quickly coping, sinea took out the paintbrush from her hair. Flipping it in her hand so that she was holding the bristles and ferrule. This brush was different compared to normal ones, the handle at the opposite end to where she was holding had been crawled into a sharp knife.
For those times when she didn't have any paint but needed to paint.
She darted pass some fallen pigs, before taking the life of her known – a signal stab to the pig weak spot. The pig dropped dead, as the blood dripped down the blade into the bristles. She couldn't help herself and gave the pig a small art design in its own blood before picking the beast up.
She grunted under the weight, but never the less carried it back to the cooking stations only vaguely listening to Leorio as he explained what you needed to roast a pig.
Sinea was happy when she dropped the pig onto the ground by her cooking station, one it freed her hands and two the damn thing was heavy – she wasn't wonder women.
She mentally when over Leorio's instructions on how to roast a pig before starting.
She sat in front of the pig watching it as it roast, watching the flames as there danced and tickled the pig's belly.
The fire crackle and spat, sending sparks flying floating in the air. "Hello, little kitten~" a voice purred from her ear.
Sinea twitched in shock, and Hisoka joined her on the floor. His legs out-stretched, and leaning back onto his arms- a Cheshire smile spread across his face. It turns out their cooking stations where next to each other, a note sinea had wanted to forget.
"Hisoka" she nodded in return, before turning back towards her pigs. The sketch book closed in her lap.
"My~ my~ being cold after that lovely warning shoot? I'm hurt~" he cooed.
"I was just warning you that now was not the time. You would have been upset with yourself if you had not let go" sinea commented softly, eyes watching the fire dancing.
Hisoka hummed, eyes glittering as he watched her watching the fire. "It was a good shoot, hardly left a mark" he showed her his hand, which had the tiniest marks.
You wouldn't had known it was from a bullet, her eyes flickered from the mark to his face, focusing on the left side, "and your ear?"
"Not a scratch~" he hummed a finger dancing in the air as he spoke, "now I'm wondering why it is that you are taking the hunter exam?" he gave her a small smile.
Sinea cocked her head, giving him a slightly confused look. "I when for a wander"
"Where did you wander from?" Hisoka asked inquired.
"From my gallery, before that from some asylums and before that meteor city" she finished but not before adding, "and yourself?"
"I wanted to finish it this time~ and I do enjoy finding and fighting strong opponents" Hisoka chuckled, he was quite interested in her response, wanted to dig deeper.
"You do seem very strong, and your Nen is quite intriguing, it has a beautiful colour to it" sinea nodded, face forward towards the fire.
"Not as interesting as your, little kitten~ pray tell what is does?"
"No, there are too many preying ears for me to speak my secrets"
"Well played~ well played, but one last thing?" Hisoka chuckled, he liked this girl.
Sinea cocked her head giving him the go ahead. "What is it you wish to achieve? You goal in life?"
She paused, staring at him. She didn't really have a goal so to answer his question. "I may not have a goal in life, but this world is a canvas and I shall paint"
He gave her a smile, a true uncalculated smile. Her heart skip a beat. Hisoka stood and her eyes following his retreating back.
This wasn't good.
She was getting attracted to her artwork
