I would like to thank the following readers:

Megumi Mikage – Thanks to reviewing again. I really appreciate it. Err… torture chamber? *shudders* No thanks! Having to go through classes in the university is enough torture. It nearly killed me. Thanks for the offer anyway. I would have loved to see your dungeon. ^o^

By the way, I have 2 fan arts of Irumi in a dress. Yes, a dress. If you want to see it, just e-mail me for it.

Lupercalia – Yup. I really got the Leorio x Kurapika go signal. I had fun writing it. The hardest to write are Gon and Killua. *joins Lupercalia in the conga line* I'm a happy hentai! I'm a happy hentai!~

Hisoka – Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I aim to please. *bows to an imaginary audience*

"I can't wait to see you in that dress tonight…"

Irumi had to shake his head again. Hisoka's seductive whisper hours before kept repeating itself in his head. And to think, he was finally getting the upper hand by consistently catching the magician off-guard. Now he had officially gotten himself into a deeper mess than the one he had begun with. He shouldn't have said yes.

Irumi looked at his reflection on the full-length mirror. He saw a beautiful young lady that could be mistaken for a teenager. She had long, raven hair, and flawless yet pale skin. She wore a black ribbon choker on her neck and matching pearl bracelets, one for each hand. She had light makeup on and she was perfect if one could overlook the fact that she was a little bit flat-chested. Irumi couldn't really find better pads but these would have to do.

Irumi smoothened his dress one more time before reaching for his hairbrush. He was wearing a short, silky, white, spaghetti strapped dress with laces at the hem, only reaching mid-thigh. It exposed enough to tease a man to get all the wrong ideas. Perfect if you were seducing someone. Hisoka really knew how to pick the clothes. Really he did.

He vigorously brushed his hair trying to forget how stupid he was for letting the man talk him into this. Now he knew the feeling of setting a trap and falling into said trap himself. Then he tied his hair in a loose ponytail. Perfect. He looked innocent enough to shock the magician to silence. He wished!

"Irumi? Are you done yet? I really want to see how gorgeous you look in that dress." Only one man could drawl something like that and still make it sound so terribly seductive. So much for not letting his heart run away with him.

Irumi gazed at his reflection again and sighed. He strapped on his white sandals. It was time to face the music… and Hisoka.

~*~

Hisoka paced around the room for five minutes. He was nervous for the first time. He really didn't know if this was going to go well. And besides, Irumi was taking too long! It was enough to grate on his nerves.

Finally he stopped by the door and drawled, "Irumi? Are you done yet? I really want to see how gorgeous you look in that dress."

He heard a sigh and the sound of the brush being placed on the counter. Irumi was finally coming out.

He had been expecting Irumi to look a little bit awkward in a dress with makeup on. He had been expecting even a few messes with the makeup. But what he saw was something totally unexpected. What went in as a gorgeous young man, came out as a fairy goddess.

His jaw dropped at the sight Irumi presented to him. This definitely does not look like a cold-blooded assassin. Hell, this doesn't even look like an air-headed model either. This is Irumi… looking like a sweet innocent little girl. Hisoka could not believe his eyes. No. This can't be Irumi.

Irumi looked at him questioningly. "Is there something wrong?" Irumi said in a perfectly feminine voice.

Hisoka tried to say something but he was so fixated on Irumi that he just numbly shook his head. Irumi blushed under his intent gaze. Silence stretched between them before Hisoka finally regained his voice.

"Err… Let's go!" He flashed Irumi a devilish smile, gallantly opened the door for him and picked up a picnic basket on his way out.

~*~

"Killua, I don't think this is such a good idea," Gon whispered to the white-haired boy as they watched Hisoka and Irumi walk out of from their room.

They both nearly had a heart attack and gave away their position to the two guys. Irumi was dressed up as a girl… That wouldn't have sounded strange except for one minor detail. IRUMI IS A GUY!!!

"What the hell kind of a deal did Hisoka make with Irumi?" Killua muttered.

Gon frowned, thinking that Killua was going to do something rash. But then, the white-haired boy just walked off, frowning.

"Killua?"

"Huh?"

"You're not planning anything are you?"

Killua turned pink. "What?! What makes you think that?"

"You're being awfully quiet. And the feeling I get from your nen is almost like you want to do something rash."

Killua smiled at Gon and shook his head. "Iie. I was just thinking that maybe I should stop bothering my brother. I mean, he can take care of himself. He's a Zoldic after all. Besides, nothing bad has happened since this deal of theirs started."

"That's nice to hear."

"But that doesn't mean I won't keep a close eye on Hisoka so let's go."

Gon nearly fell over at that statement. Killua laughed at him and said, "Hahahah! I was only kidding Gon!"

"Killua…" Gon sighed.

Then Killua leaned over and pulled him into his warm embrace, whispering into his ear, "Don't worry. I won't do anything that you don't really approve. I don't want to make you worry."

With that, Gon smiled and returned his friend's embrace.

Leorio nearly fell off his seat for the second time that day when he saw Hisoka wearing a loose shirt and jeans and a light jacket… with Irumi in a white dress. A DRESS!!!

Well, at least his reaction was better than Kurapika's. Kurapika was choking on his food. Damn. He rushed to the Kuruta's side and gently patted the boy's back.

When Kurapika finished with his couching fit, he turned a light shade of pink. Leorio thought that it wasn't too bad. The pink tinge on Kurapika's cheeks made him even more beautiful to look at.

"Thank you, Leorio-san."

This time, it was Leorio's turn to blush. "Ahh… Your welcome!"

"I really mean it." Just then, Kurapika leaned over and kissed him!

~*~

Kurapika didn't know what came over him that made him kiss Leorio. As soon as he pulled away, he felt the heat rising to his face. Leorio was looking at him with the most unreadable expression.

"Ah… I, I, I'm sorry, Leorio-san. It won't happen again. Just forget…"

What Kurapika hadn't expected was Leorio put his hand over his, looking at him intently and saying, "Kurapika, I, I, I, I mean it's all right. I, I, I, I like, like it." Leorio turned crimson after saying that.

Kurapika didn't know what to say. He smiled genuinely at Leorio and Leorio smiled back. Even though there were no words said between them, they had understood each other perfectly well. Things were going to be just fine.

Another part of Kurapika's mind piped up. They were going to talk about it later.

~*~

Dinner, in a word, was perfect. Hisoka had planned it all out. They were sitting on the beach where they had made out. Where they had almost made love, Irumi's mind piped up.

Irumi sighed before taking another sip of wine Hisoka had brought. He was getting too romantic. This is just business. Says who? His mind interrupted again. Irumi shivered. Even his mind had turned to mush, it was turning against him. Then he felt something warm on his skin. He looked up. Hisoka had draped his jacket on his shoulder. The magician blushed at his own kindness. Irumi actually found it endearing. Endearing? Now, this just confirmed that he had just lost his mind for the duration of the deal. He wasn't thinking logically enough anymore, not that logic is needed where Hisoka's concerned but…

"Why?" Irumi asked out loud.

Hisoka looked at him questioningly before answering, "Because you were shivering. You were getting cold."

Irumi shook his head. "No. That's not what I meant. Why… why did you just ask for this? You could've asked for anything you wanted this morning, at the beach." Then Irumi clamped his hand on his mouth. Shocked by his admission. Then he looked away blushing.

Irumi thought that Hisoka wasn't ever going to answer him but then, he spoke, "I don't know why. I wanted something. I know I wanted you. But there's something else. I just can't seem to put my finger on it. Part of me just said that I shouldn't do anything rash until I figure it out."

Irumi looked at Hisoka. The magician actually looked thoughtful. A small smile made its way onto the assassin's lips. "Thank you."

Author's note:

WAI! Finished another chapter in a half a day! YAY!!! Mask of Innocence just added another chapter! I'm so happy! Anyway, please review!

PS. If you guys like, please help me make the cast for my next fic. That's all I need left before I can actually start the story. It's a Hunter X Hunter crossover with X/1999. The pairings that I'm sure of at the moment is Hisoka x Irumi and Kuroro x Kurapika. (Sorry no Leorio x Kurapika.)

PPS. I'm not abandoning this story.
