colours of the world
sometimes we fine that our true selves are hidden, but in art they are unleashed apon the world...
chapter 11
Leorio and kurapika seat to each other, both worried.
They, themselves and Gon had passed the hunter exam. Killua having killed an opponent after his talk with Gittarackur, who turned out to be his brother did not. The pair were currently talking about the fairness of killua disqualification and arguing whether illumi had tricked the boy.
That wasn't the only thing, worrying them. Half way through Gon's match sinea had disappeared and hadn't been seen since. The paired wanted to ask were they female friend had gone – but was unable to till after they finished with the talking about the fairness of the task.
Then Gon had brushed in, demanding that illumi tells killua he was sorry. It was safe to say, that they were both proud if not worried about his actions. Afterwards, Gon had asked the long haired male were killua had gone.
"You guys are coming with me right?" Gon asked, the paired.
"Of course! He was our friend too" smiled kurapika.
"Where's sinea?" the boy asked, with a tilt of his head.
Leorio frowned, "we don't actually know, she disappeared during your match. We haven't seen her since."
"She's in resting room 3~" a voice purred from behind them.
All three jumped at the sound of hisoka's voice. "What! How'd you know?"
"Cause I took her there and she hasn't left since~" the red head grinned, pointing them down a corridor.
Leorio and kurapika glance at each other nervously, while gon smiled, "thanks Hisoka!"
The small boy, dragged the worried pair away, down the corridor towards the resting room Hisoka spoke of. All three unaware of the red head following. "Ah chairman!" Gon yelled waving.
Netero stepped through the doors closing them behind him softly, "ah, I see your visiting sinea, I just gave her, her hunter licence"
"Really she passed? How?" asked kurapika.
"It's not what she did, but what she didn't do" the chairman smiled, passing Leorio a file. "Have a read and you will understand"
They watched as the man walked away, before looking back towards file. Leorio opened it taking a peak, before slamming it shut. "Erm, we'll ask her about it instead" he concluded.
"What! Let me see!" wined Gon, but the taller male shook his head.
The three of them stepped into the room, standing still they surveyed the room as the door clicked shut behind them. Every wall, every surface was covering in pages. Pages with black ink scalwed across them, three pair of eyes landed on sinea. She sat on the floor in the middle of the room, staring blankly at the hunter license in her hands.
"Sinea?" kurapika tried.
Her head snapped up, "yes?"
"You okay?"
She nodded, "sorry, I had to step out for a moment"
"A moment? You were gone for more than a day" Leorio knelt beside her.
"A day?" she looked at him. "Oh, I didn't realise how much time flew by"
Leorio sat down, kurapika and Gon joining, "Erm, the chairman gave us this, can you explain?" the wannabe doctor started.
"Yes, it's my psychosocial diagnosis" she looked at them, before signing, "have you read it?"
"I had a look, these two haven't" Leorio spoke, as sinea nodded.
Taking the file, she opened it passing showing them a photo. It was in black and white, on it was sinea looking directly at the camera. She was soaked in blood, behind her laid a number of bodies placed in a particular fashion, all ripped to shreds, the agony clear as day. The sinea in the photo looked to be about 12, young eyes wide and innocent but with a dark edge to them. Kurapika paled slightly, while Gon looked confuse. "I was 11, when this happened. Sometime depending on the asylum will depend on the treatment they provide. This place was very old fashion and turned to cruel methods to 'fixed', so to speak, us." She pointed to one body, the only one not covered in blood, it was different. Killed in a different way, "their methods killed him, broke my friend, and ripped his mind apart. So I lost it. It appears to be an extreme and blood thirsty version of a psychotic break,"
"I take it seeing Gon being beaten, brought it on?" inquired kurapika.
She nodded, "they started calling it the artist madness"
"You know what else brings it on?" Leorio asked, she could hear the doctor in him coming out.
"If myself is in a life-threating situations and when I haven't drawn in over an hour only exception being during sleep."
"Now that you mention it, you're always seem to be drawing" kurapika nodded.
"It helps, sort of like a theory of me" she smiled weakly.
"Nee Nee~ sinea" Gon spoke, speaking up for the first time as he didn't really understand the situation. He moved forward, "look I'm fine! No need to worry, I'm stronger then I look"
She smiled more broadly before nodding, "where killua?" she asked changing the subject from herself.
Leorio and kurapika stood, Gon pulling her to her feet. "We will explain on the way!" Gon grinned.
She nodded following them towards the door, "don't you want to bring any of this?" Leorio gestured towards the paper scattered across the room.
"No its okay" she already got the stuff she needed inside her little book.
As they walked the group explained to her the situation, she nodded. Hisoka watched from behind them, smirking. Sinea looked over her shoulder, the grey eye spotting him. A whistling sound and a thud later, the red head focused card embedded itself in the wall beside him. Sinea turned back towards Gon, the small boy still holding her hand.
Hisoka took the card, eyes wandering over it, 'insane artist' it read with an address for her gallery and her number. Hisoka chuckled, before stepping into the room, the group had just left. Turning in a full circled he moved towards the discarded file on the floor. He read though it chuckled, "she really has caught your eye" illumi spoke up from behind him.
The assassin look about the room, stepping to examine the art work,
"What can I say? She's an interesting subject~" Hisoka stepped besides him.
"Hm, an interesting way of killing someone maybe I try it sometime" illumi commented in his monotone voice. Black eyes looked over the work, page apon page of different ways of killings, some way would make most people sick, "you have weird taste Hisoka"
"Don't stay you're not interested illumi~ you know killua taken a liking to her"
"That is true, but she is more up your street. That much is clear"
"True~ true~" the red head purred. As the pair left, illumi paused, his eyes catching colour. "What is it?" Hisoka questioned, his long haired friend.
"Looks like she isn't the only one with weird taste" illumi monotone voice had a tint of amusement as he pointed.
Hisoka eyes widen, it seemed he may have a fan. He thought smugly golden eyes locked onto some other golden eyes. He chuckled, a plan forming in his head – he was going to make her his, until he got bored. Of course.
-Back to the group-
Sinea sat on the train to where killua lived, beside her Gon was fast asleep. "Sinea?" Leorio called. She looked up from her sketch of the sleeping boy.
"Yes?"
"Is there anything else we really should know about you cornering your mental wellbeing?" he asked looking at her dead in the eye.
She thought, for a moment before responding. "You are in no harm ways unless the artist madness occurs," she moved her hair away from red eye, "a good warning sign is that my grey eye starts to go this red"
Leorio nodded as did kurapika. Both seemed to be thinking on the same subject. But would rather not talk about it, about the demons in her head. She yawned, they had a long way to go, she should sleep. The event of the last few days had taken its toll on her. Closing her eyes sinea drifted to sleep.
"We have such a troublesome group don't we" mutter Leorio, noting the girls sleeping pattern.
"Yes, but it wouldn't be the same without everyone" commented kurapika, looking his friend. "Plus, you're the most troublesome out of them all"
Leorio turned towards him frowning at the smile tugging at the blonde's lips, "oh shut it," grumbled the male.
"It will be fine," kurapika added, "we will just have to get stronger to protect her"
Leorio nodded in agreement, the pair watching their female friend with concern as she slept.
