chapter 18
Sinea opened her eyes, sight blurry as she began to come round. She felt an arm pull her closer to something hard. Wait, arm? Her face turned beetroot red as she realised that the arm had pulled her closer to the toned chest of the red headed magician with the golden eyes that took over her thoughts….
Why was he still here?
She was blushing furiously as Hisoka blinked, noticing the awoken sinea by his side, "morning princess~" the man purred, his voice still groggy from just waking up.
Sinea didn't say anything as her face became more scarlet by the second, Hisoka watched with amusement as the clogs turned in her head. "Have I left the princess speechless?" he added huskily, moving his face closer to her own.
"Hisoka…" the blue haired women started, "what are you doing?"
"Well, I was sleeping m'dear"
"You know what I mean Hisoka" she stated, sitting up on the bed, slightly glaring at the male.
This wasn't good what so ever, her face burned her she watched the golden eyed man, she knew she was obsession with the male, his golden eyes that showed so much to his pink rubber nen that made him so irresistible. But never before had her obsession choose to come closer, place himself inside her bubble. It felt like the male was going to suffocate her.
However, she did not hate it.
"And I'm going to let you pounder my little princess" the red head stood, tapping her lightly on the nose with a slender finger.
"Your advoiding the question"
"I know." Stated the male a sly smile across his face as he disappeared out of the room. Leaving the confused girl to her thoughts.
Time when by and sinea didn't hear a wisp of the confusing male. She didn't see, hear or sense him, it was like he had dropped off the face of the earth. She paused in her paintwork, it was another painting of the red haired male, she had started to do the eyes, no but matter what she couldn't get his eyes right…
There was always something off, wrong about them. Something that she couldn't quite put her finger on. It irritated her to no end, normally she would have no trouble with the eyes. But this male, this confusing and constantly changing male was something else. Something she want to kept all to herself.
Letting out a frustrated sign, she but the brush down.
Just in time to hear a knock at her door, turning on her heels she moved to it. Leaning on the doorframe was Hisoka, a smirk plastered across his face as he held out a ticket to her, "I brought a present~" purred the man.
She looked towards his face, the red haired man giving her a close eye smile, avoiding eye contact. Sinea frowned slightly but didn't say anything, "are these for your next match?" she asked, curiosity lining her voice as she took the ticket.
"Yes, against a man name kastro an old opponent I once faced. I'm sure he would have gotten stronger since last time"
An image flashed in her eyes, it was the image of Hisoka and his cards. A score board of H VS K and the words death by magic tricks, his opponent was someone who name began with 'K'. She nodded absentmindedly as Hisoka watched with interest, he saw the widening of her eyes as he mentioned kastro name. Did she know something? Did they knew each other? For some reason her knowing the male and having some sort of connect annoyed him to no end.
"Is kastro a magician?" asked the petite girl.
Hisoka golden eyes narrowed slightly, "no, now why does the little princess ask that question?"
"No reason" responded the blue haired girl before closing the door behind her. "I have something to do, so I will see you at the match"
Hisoka watched with suspicion as the girl walked away from him, not giving the male a seconded glance. He frowned, first she reacted to kastro name, now she's disappearing off without a word… hiding his presence he followed the dreamy girl.
Sinea slowly made her way to the betting office, sometimes she used the outcomes of her predictions to her advantage, and it was a good way of earning money when she really needed it. "Hello, I would like to make a bet"
"Which match sweetheart?" asked the bookie from behind a set of bars.
"I bet that Hisoka win during his match with kastro, and that during said match he does a magic trick" she stated simply.
The bookie raised an eyebrow, "a magic trick eh? You got good odds on that"
Sinea nodded, giving the male the amount she was going to bet, the male in returned gave her the amount she would earn if it came to pass, the number were good. She smiled, "pleasure doing business with you"
"Pleasure all mine sweetheart" the man nodded, she turned walking towards the stands for the match.
No noticing the red head hovering the wall, a smirk on his face. "Interesting… A magic trick? I must put on a show then"
X~ time skip ~X
"Just you killua?" the blue haired women asked, taking a sit beside the sliver haired boy.
"Yeah, wing-san wouldn't let Gon come" the boy pouted, head facing towards the ring.
"You been meditating I see" she stated taking her sketchbook and pencil out before turning to the ring.
"Nothing else to do till Gon allowed to train, anything interesting happening with you?" killua asked linking his hands around the back of his head as kastro stepped onto the ring.
"Same old same old," she responded, quickly sketching in her book as Hisoka stepped into the ring. The red head smirked as the crowd went wild. He spotted the blue haired women, "I will give you a show~" the male purred under his breath.
"What was that Hisoka?" asked kastro who had a confident smile on his face.
"Nothing~"
The match soon began, sinea paused in her sketching as Hisoka was punched in the face, she hummed quietly as she watched, as again the male dodged but still getting hit. A frowned creeping onto her face as her hand ghosted over the page.
"Clean hit 8 down!" the referee yelled.
"If you keep leaking you won't solve the mystery, I won't wait any longer. Next time I'll take an arm from you" kastro spoke changing his stance.
She looked down at the open page in her hand, "I see, it's a clone..." she muttered.
On the page was kastro, next to him almost like a shadow was a mirror image, a clone of the male. It explained a lot. She looked towards the match as Hisoka smirked raising his left arm, "here, I'm giving It to you~"
"Whatever I take it!" kastro shouted, running forward before disappearing, "the right one that is..."
Sinea froze, body tensing as she watched the arm fly into the air. She sucked in a breath, emotions spinning out of control as did the arm. Killua tensed besides her watching his female friend closely. Her body frozen, pencil tip inches away from the page. Her wide eyes watching the red head caught the arm speaking to the overconfident man.
Killua glance towards the match, then back to the female. Little bits and piece adding up.
Sinea liked the red headed male, liked as she did to himself and the group? Or was it something more? She didn't react like this when Gon got injured. Maybe because she didn't directly see it? It was like she was ready to let the madness lose…
He kept one eye on the colouring hue in her eye just in case.
Sinea watched wide eye at the males limp detached arm, her breathing became hollow. She could fell it the madness. Like a storm brewing ready to break out of the entrapment of her mind. The insanity started to seep into her thought. She took a deep shuddering breath, in an attempt to control the madness.
Pencil touched paper.
She started to draw absentmindedly, not really paying attention to the gruesome images as she watched the match taking everything in.
Killua glances towards the book. Eye widening as he took in the gore, body parts littered over the page, more precisely Hisoka body parts, bloodied cards and spilt guts. He swallowed the vie threatening to spill.
He turned back to the match just as kastro began explaining his abilities.
On the stage, Hisoka barely paid any action on his opponent. He was disappointed, kastro had been so confident, such a good opponent last time in his defeat that the man had forgotten the basic of nen. It was a shame the male had so much potential going to waste might the red head might as well end it.
He quickly glanced towards his blue haired companion, what he saw surprised him. She sat their frozen to her spot, body tense as wide eyes stared at him. He could see from the stage the tint of red starting to bleed into her grey eye. He smirked slightly, the little princess was worried about him.
He might as well put on a show.
He bounced the serval arm, throwing it up and catching it again, as he spoke. The crowd watched at the red head took a bite of his own arm, chewing on a bit of his flesh. Before taking out a cloth, "shall I show my skills of seer?" he asked, hiding the detached arm from sight.
With a dramatic flair he threw the cloth into the air, instead of the arm dropping to the floor, playing cards dropped to the ground. The audience watched mesmerised, as sinea breathing started to calm down, magic trick, that was a magic trick, she told herself. Hisoka should win, not need to worry about him... he will be fine…
She could in a deep breath before blowing out though her nose.
"Choose a figure on a card and memorise it~" the man purred, "what its okay add 4 to it. Then mulity it by 2" the man instructor a finger moving as he spoke. "And you subtract 6, after you have divided this sum in half subtract the initial figure. What do you get?"
The crowd mumble confused by where this puzzle was going. "I already know the answer~" Hisoka purred, before his hand plugged into the severed forearm, "the answer is... "He spoke his voice not even flitching as the blood dripped.
He pulled taking out a blood soaked card.
"1 isn't it?"
The crowd roared, as he called the correct card for them all. Hisoka threw the card to kastro who pushing it aside not noticing the blood splattering onto his once clean robe. Kastro frowned, before running forward to take the magician only arm, who held it in font, "I told you I'm giving it to you"
Sinea eyes followed as the double disappeared, she looked on it surprised, his left arm now detached but it wasn't that, that had shocked her. It was that Hisoka right arm was now reconnected and looking like it had never been ripped off in the first place.
She thought back, trying to understand the events, completely zoning out from the rest of the match which was child's play to the red head magician.
It clicked, nen, he most likely used his nen to move the arm to somewhere else during the magic trick, then used his bungee gum to stick it back on, though that doesn't explain how he manged to make it look normal…
Maybe he was still hiding his abilities or at else some of them.
She returned to watching the match just as the magician's card impaled themselves into the now dead kastro. Hisoka spoke the male, not that anyone in the crowd could hear it over the roaring noise.
"Come on lets go" killua spoke bored at the easy outcome.
"Sure" sinea nodded, standing before making their way to the exit. The pair was silent as they made it to Gon's room.
It wasn't until the pair walked thought the threshold that the sliver haired male decided to speak.
"Sinea" he started earning the blue haired girls attention.
"Yes killua?"
"Do you like Hisoka?"
"Why do you ask?" she reposed looking at the kid, Gon heads whipped back and fore with a confused look.
"You said, that the madness can come out with those you like are in danger, when Hisoka looked like he was losing and lost his arm. It started to come out didn't it?" killua explained, watched his female friend. "So does that mean you like him?"
Sinea thought for a moment, "It's hard to explain. Remember during the hunter exam, the first phase Hisoka asked whether I was attractive to him? I responded that as an artist I find his aura enthralling correct?" the boys nodded. "Well there are some occasions when I become a bit too much attach to my subjects, and I can become protective, which brings out the madness so to speak. It's pretty much what happened with you lot however you moved from subjects to friends" she nodded with a small smile.
"So Hisoka is a friend?" killua asked slowly, trying to confirm.
"Hm, he's not really a friend… it feels different to how a friend is" sinea spoke slowly, while killua sweat dropped. This was going to get complicated in the future.
"So that means you lo-"Gon was cut-off by killua who quickly covered the boy's mouth with a hand.
"Hahaha, you placed a bet on the match didn't you?" questioned killua, quickly changing subject, while Gon glared at him.
Sinea looked between both boys with a suspicious expression before nodding "I better get my winnings, with see you both later boys"
The artist left, killua let out a breath before jumping as Gon licked his hand. "What was that for idiot?" yelled the sliver haired boy.
"Why'd you cover my mouth?" pouted Gon, "I was only going to ask her if she loved Hisoka"
"I think it's kind of obvious Gon, but it's better if she didn't find out this way"
"What do you mean?" question Gon.
Killua gave the innocent boy a look, "Gon, its Hisoka. If he finds out he may hurt her!"
"Yeah, but haven't you notice how Hisoka acts around her? I wouldn't be surprised if he liked her too!"
Killua signed, no point arguing with the stubborn boy.
"Plus they're a cute couple!" grinned Gon, while killua sweat dropped.
