"I do not wish this curse onto anyone," he spoke, "the Loneliest is a battle no one can win, I could not let anyone suffer my fate due to that book"
"it was not meant for mortal hands." Z stated with a sigh, "Loneliest with never affect me, for I walk with the dead every day. If you like you could walk by my side as well your stories will forever be told" she offered her hand towards the man.
"I think I would like that" he smiled, placing the book into her hand.
###
Z glanced towards her lover a frowned growing on her lips "What did you say?"
"Hisoka it still alive."
"Impossible," she stated her face completely blank before adding "Are you sure?"
"Machi watched it happen," Kuroro stated watching her reaction.
"Bastard doesn't know when to stay dead" she muttered darkly. "I'll eat his soul when I see him next. Do you know how he was able to come back? The bead definilay broke..."
"I was hoping you could shed some light onto that particular problem?" Z glanced at her lover who sat next to her, eyes narrowed. Well, no surpised she was the only one to be known to bring back the dead.
"I swear on my nen, I did not help the fucking twat come back to life." She stated before using her nen to make a skull in the palm of her hand. "and i can only guess it was something to do with his own Nen that allowed it to happen."
"could you track him?"
"No, not since his bead broke." she shook her head slightly black locks shifting with the movement as she continued to speak her thoughts. "He's no longer connected to me. If I had brought him back there would have been a connect of sorts between us but since is wasn't me that brought me back - there isn't."
Kuroro frowned, "how bothersome, I shall get Shal to spread the message, luckily he hasn't targeted anyone of the troupe yet, he appeared to vanished off the face of the planet"
"Hopefully he buried somewhere in the dessert" she muttered darkly, her mind drifting back, to after hisoka had died.
she was being truthful she hadn't brought the male back from the death.
But she never stated that she already knew that a dead man walks.
"I think you when a bit fucking overboard" she muttered grimly while lifting up the cracked pink marble that slowly drifted into dust before them, though the weight of the beads on her wrist hadn't changed – kuroro having gained a fair few in the battle.
She wondered when Hisoka soul had been added to her collection.
She gave one more glanced at the scene before taking kuroro's hands and vanishing into shadows. Black hues trained on the body of Hisoka a choice still weighting on her mind...
She glanced at the hovered soul of hisoka by kuroro shoulder, the menacing smile growing wider at the sight of her black's hues locking onto him. He wasn't completely passed over – No she had her Nen encasing the dead man's souls preventing him from fully passing over onto the road yet at the same time he wasn't living his body not having a sense of life in it any longer.
And how she had a choice to make.
She could let the man's soul go, but at the loss of the location of the last book she needed.
She could bring the magician back to life, and get the book, though if he was lying, she could always kill him, consume his soul and torture him for eternality.
She could bring him back, get the book but get the wrath of her lover – or have the magician have something to loom over her.
For now, she would wait and hold onto his soul... she concluded while stepping out of the darkness with kuroro. Hisoka soul following like a dog following his owner.
Z frowned at the sight before her, she stood in the shadows of her road watching as the three troupe members entered the room staring at the dead body of hisoka.
"So this is your true form~" hisoka murmured from her shoulder, the spirit of the magician resting his head of her shoulder being mindful of her wings. He could feel the power radiating off her – feel the coldness slowly seep into his ghostly form.
"I'm sure you see it before hisoka"
"True but never this close~ who though have though that our Z truly is Azrael archangel of death. I thought you had strange parents and grew up in a religious cult" the man smirked at the archangel.
She stayed silent, neither confirming the fact nor defining hisoka statement. Instead to opted to listen to the troupe members before her.
"I kind of expected him to have taken more damaged than this" Kopi muttered looking at the corpse.
"Before the explosive puppets could get close to him. He was swarmed by 200 other puppets that had received the command to break." Shal started to explain, "it seems they ended up serving to cushion him from the explosion somewhat." kopi and machi exchanged glanced at the blonde continued, "the wall of flash piled on top of him along with the explosion caused the oxygen deprivation which resulted in his death."
Z frowned, "You died of suffocation" she stated before muttering, "that's easy to fix"
Shal and kopi started to leave after confirming the magician's death while machi stayed to fix the man up, as he had paid her advance.
"Now before you send me off to the next life or back, I would like to try something~" the man beside her stated.
Her frown deepened, "try something?"
"Don't worry I shall give your location if it works~ Its already been prepared it just needs a little pick..." the magician grinned before pointing at a kneeling machi- a needle in hand looking at the body in astonishment as the man's aura suddenly exploded from his body.
"What the fuck?!" she growled turning towards a grinning hisoka as he slowly vanished into wisps of smoke, as his soul left the realm of the dead.
Machis eyes widened in surprise of realisation as the corpse began to move, hands twitching as it began to squeeze the heart it had been holding. The corpse was being itself back to life.
Z eyes widen in surprised; he had made a condition with his Nen. When he knew he was going to die while falling into the pit of mindless puppets.
She could hear the words floating in the realm of the dead around her, "O, my rubber Nen. After I'm dead come back to life! Along with my heart and lungs! Crable them, caress them. Then expand and contract!"
Hisoka eyes shot open! His corpse jumping unsteady on his foot.
He turned towards machi, blood dripping from his destroyed nose and ripped neck, "Yo machi!" hisoka stated, completely causal to the ragged state of his body. "Was I really truly dead just now?"
"Dead as disco, thoroughly and utterly dead"
The man starts chuckling to himself as his golden eyes locked onto the shadowed from of Z on her spirit road. He couldn't see her but his touched with death made him more sensitive to those that belong there.
He dismissed machi attach to fix him up, opting to use his Nen, rubber and texture surprised to fix up his grotesque appearance standing completely find before the women as machi ranted at the magician for his stupidity and hoping that he learns from his mistakes from fighting kuroro and it an arena like that.
"Machi you got it backwards~ This time I've decided to make sure it's my opponents who can't decide who it is or where they'll have to fight"
"I see. Whatever make you happy"
Z watched at hisoka grinned appearing behind the retreating women. "I'm talking about the spiders~" he purred, trapping her arms and legs with his Nen holding her in place the smile never leaving his painted face.
"Would you pass this along to all the spiders for me? That as of now, no matter where they go or whoever they're with... I won't stop until I've kill them all"
Z could feel the rage from machi as growl and shouted at the retreating man. It seems the magician was beginning a new game. A game, she didn't approve of. Once the man was out of sight a hand appeared from the shadows dragging him onto the road of the death.
"You own me a location"
she stated simply as the grey tone world around them shifted and changed.
"Of course, my archangel~" the man grinned, "there's an ancient book store in this city. The owner never seems to change - appears to be immortal, frozen in time~ You been there before on a lovely night out I think it's time for another visit. Don't you think? shame I will be missing both trips."
Z frowned, her mind thinking back... before it clicked.
"I see"
"Care to place me back? I have some hunting to do" The manic grin on the man's face would make even the strong-willed quiver at the sight of.
"One more thing" she stated, her bone starting to glow under her skin - the sight in the grey tone world of the death making a horrifying image that promise never-ending pain, "if I see you near what's mine. I rip your soul out and send you to damnation myself"
With a small push the man fell out of the realm of the death.
"I look forward to it~" hisoka purred taking in the sight of a never-ending dessert she had dropped him in.
If it was a new game, like hell was she letting him get a head start.
Hopefully he will die out there before making it back and attacking her lover's precious spider. It also gave them more time to prepared for the red headed magician. She frowned; she wouldn't be able to track his movements anymore due to his bead breaking- sighing she let herself drop back onto the bed.
Moreover, if he played his cards right and didn't commit murder, he could probably be able to hide from her sights even more...
This was completely bullshit.
And now she had to deal with the situation because she was the lover of the head – but if she saw him, caught wind of him near her, she thought her Nen growing cold, she would rip his soul out of his body not matter the cost.
Hell, on earth be damned.
