Hisoka didn't know what came over him to lean right over to Irumi and kiss the assassin so gently. He had never seen the assassin smile so beautifully and sincerely. He had decided that he wanted more of it.

And so he was rewarded with a smile and much more. Time went by in a blur as by the time he recovered his senses, he had his arms wrapped tightly around Irumi's form. They were both still fully clothed. Irumi once again had his jacket draped over his shoulders. The assassin was leaning onto him with his eyes closed, breathing evenly.

Hisoka surprised himself by being content with holding the boy in his arms. He inhaled the assassin's scent. It intoxicated him. It wasn't the typical scent he got from everybody. It was unique, different.

"Hmm…"

It seemed like he wasn't the only one musing. Irumi's hand entwined itself to his. He pulled the assassin closer, loving the feel of the warm body so close to him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"What do you mean, Hisoka?"

"You have this dreamy tone in your voice. Makes one wonder what goes on in your head."

"Many things."

"Oh? Care to share?"

Irumi shook his head. "No. Not yet anyway. I want to be sure."

"Be sure of what?"

Irumi yawned, his eyes falling shut. He murmured, "Just to be sure…"

"Irumi?" Hisoka asked. When he didn't get a response, he looked closely at Irumi and discovered that the assassin had already fallen asleep. He chuckled. The young assassin looked frail and vulnerable in his arms. Even though he really looked that way, Hisoka was sure that the boy would take offense at being described at such.

The magician gathered Irumi into his arms and carried him back to the hotel. And mentally reminded himself to stop by the front desk and tell them to get the picnic basket on the beach after tucking Irumi in.

~*~

Kurapika was looking out on the balcony of his and Leorio's room. Leorio watching random channels on the television. Kurapika sighed. His heart beating fast against his chest. He had kissed Leorio! And Leorio was okay with it!

Just then, he felt arms wrapping around him. He blushed furiously. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed Leorio come up to him.

"You seem a little bit jumpy tonight," Leorio whispered into his ear.

Kurapika sighed and smiled. "I still can't believe it that's all."

"Is it really that unbelievable?" Leorio frowned when Kurapika nodded. "Baka." He tilted the young Kuruta's face up and brushed his lips against his.

Kurapika turned even redder but then he sighed, contentedly. Life couldn't get any better than this. He thought too soon.

"So how about sleeping with me tonight?"

Kurapika's eyes turned red. Even though he knew Leorio was only joking but he couldn't help it. POW!!! CRACK!!! CRASH!!! KABOOM!!!

Oh well. Old habits die hard.

~*~

When Irumi woke up the next morning, feeling better than he had since this all started, he noticed that Hisoka was nowhere to be found. He looked at his clothes and frowned. He was still wearing the dress. He had fallen asleep on Hisoka last night. He grimaced. It was uncharacteristic of him to leave himself so unguarded.

He glanced at the closet. Hisoka had left it open. The magician had taken the liberty to get him another dress as well as a few matching accessories. At least it wasn't as revealing as the first one even though the bodice was a bit low cut and the skirt would approximately reach his knees.

That's what he thought until he saw that the dress was backless. Irumi sighed. It was black with purple ribbons on the loose, long sleeves and by the seams of the skirt. The ends of the sleeves and the skirt was blessed with ruffles that made it look long flowing. The bodice was lined with laces.

Irumi seriously doubted that it would actually look good on him. He wondered what Hisoka was actually thinking to buy him something like this.

An hour later, Irumi found himself looking at his reflection as he did the night before. He had tied his hair with a purple ribbon. He was in the midst of applying lipstick when he sensed Hisoka's presence getting off the elevator.

He stepped out of the bathroom and opened the door before Hisoka could turn the knob. He blushed when he saw the magician's unreadable gaze.

He moved to get out of the way before he felt Hisoka's hand cupping his chin and leaning over, pressing his lips to his.

~*~

Hisoka didn't know what to say or how to react when he saw how provocatively sexy Irumi looked in that dress. It just kept getting better every time. It was better than he had imagined.

The assassin's lips were soft and inviting. Perfect.

That was of course before the cleaning lady at the end of the hall, slammed the door shut. Irumi's eyes flew open and pushed him away, blushing furiously, his lipstick smudged.

"You, you, you, you… HENTAI!" Irumi said, flustered.

"Tsk, tsk. Irumi, I'm wasn't the only one working there was I? Do you want me to prove it?" Hisoka said suggestively and grinned at the flustered assassin.

Irumi's hand flew to his mouth. "I, I, I, I, I have to fix my makeup!" Then he quickly retreated into the bathroom.

Hisoka chuckled at Irumi's reaction. The assassin was becoming more and more open with his emotions. It was a start. Maybe one of these days, he'd have the chance to finally say what he'd known all along, whispering it softly into the young man's ear…

~*~

Killua sighed. It was a good idea to get out of the hotel and explore the town. It was also a way to get away from an unwanted sight, particularly Hisoka getting his hands on his brother, Irumi.

Had it have been any other situation, Killua would've taken advantage of the situation of seeing his brother in a dress. Hmmm… Actually, it wasn't a bad idea.

"Gon, let's buy a camera."

~*~

Gon smiled. They were going to explore the town today. No Hisoka. No creepy clowns. Killua was in deep thought. Gon sighed. Killua was probably worrying about his brother again. He was frowning. But then this creepy smile made its way to his lips.

Gon had a feeling Killua was up to something. He just didn't know what. But he had the feeling that he was going to find out soon.

"Gon, let's buy a camera."

Uh oh.

~*~

Leorio was whistling. He felt really energized. Well, it was because he was going to spend the day with Kurapika in town. The town was reputed to have good bargains in every store.

He nearly jumped when he felt something warm in his hand. He looked down, smiled and chuckled to himself. Kurapika was looking down as they walked but his hand was clasped with Leorio's. There was light blush on his cheeks.

Leorio looked ahead feeling even more energetic. Not bad for their first date.

~*~

Kurapika sighed. Leorio was, is and will always be the same. He had forgotten to bring his clothes into the bathroom again. Leorio pretty much ended the same way as he did every morning. Kurapika felt the blood rising to his face. Alright, he was blushing again. He couldn't help it.

Oh well. Kurapika racked his brains for a solution, to make up for beating Leorio this morning as well as last night. He spotted a couple a few feet away from them. Then he got an idea.

He quietly slipped his hand into Leorio's and tried to pretend like nothing unusual happened but unfortunately the blush on his face was a dead giveaway. Maybe it was a bad idea…

Leorio looked at him and smiled. Kurapika smiled to himself. Then again, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Author's notes:

Another new chapter! Gosh, you guys must be bored with me already. Nothing much seems to happen in my chapters these days. Heaven forbid that my muse lose its quirk. I can't have writer's block! *starts a fire and throws all her assignments in* BWAHAHAHA!!! BURN!!! BURN!!! DIE STUPID INTRODB ASSIGNMENT, DIE!!! BURN, MACCOMS!!!

Irumi *still wearing the black dress, whispers to Hisoka* she wished…

Hisoka *nods in agreement then grins and throws Irumi over his shoulder and runs to the nearest bedroom*

Irumi *eyes glinting with needles in hand* Hentai.

Later on, everyone hears Hisoka screaming like a little girl. We still hear the author ranting on and on about destroying homework and how it should be illegal.

Announcer that looks like Kuroro *actually it IS Kuroro* What'll happen between Hisoka and Irumi? Will Hisoka finally get lucky? *author whispers, "Definitely not." Hisoka wails in the background.* … Ahem… Will Killua do what we all think he's going to do? Will Leorio get the "POW!!! CRACK!!! CRASH!!! KABOOM!!!" again?! Will this story finally get anywhere? *Author waves fist at Kuroro* Stay tuned for the next chapter of "Assassin for a Lover!"

The sounds of "POW!!! CRACK!!! CRASH!!! KABOOM!!!", "Gon o korosu," ANIKI!", "Killua…," "Dancho!" and "Hisoka!" are heard backstage. But the loudest of all is the spine-tingling, "Hehehehehehe…"

See you next chapter!
