Chapter 11: Advice X Double X Prey
"This is delicious!"
"It really is! I've never eaten something this delicious!"
"Host! I want another serving!"
"Me too, Osu!"
"Hm, the spice truly adds more flavor in the dish"
"Hail for my lover, Kall-chan~ here!"
"As if!" Kallua shouted in anger as he serves Karuze and Zushi another serving of rice. "I don't mind cooking for all of you but why is Fraze here as well!?" Kallua rudely points at Fraze whom leisurely eats his cooking.
The group which consists of Fraze,Karuze, Kallua, Killua and Gon currently are in Wing's residence. After the trio finish their grocery shopping, Kallua volunteer to cook for Wing and Zushi as well which is why they are in Wing's residence where Kallua borrow the kitchen. Kallua keep some food for Fraze whom will deliver it to Hisoka later. Kallua still can't believe that Fraze is joining them to eat.
"Kallua-san really good at cooking, osu" Zushi said excitingly as he eats the food without any leftovers.
"Yes, I am impressed" Wing nod in agreement before he drinks the soup.
Gon holds out her bowl "Another"
Killua does the same "Me too"
In Kallua's mind, he is amazed that they are eating much more than he calculated. He can't even tell the others that he hasn't eat as well for he keeps busily serving them and they are already eating his portions. Oh well, their smiles is enough to give him satisfaction after all.
"Kall-chan~ I'll have some more as well. Add it with your love~" Fraze winks at the end of saying this statement.
Of course… Fraze's smile is not counted! He just quietly giving Fraze's portion with a bonus of his death glare that makes Fraze smiles creepily. Kallua feel so thankful that the others are busily eating, to the point they are ignoring Fraze and Kallua's interaction.
After they finish eating, Zushi and Killua volunteers to help Kallua with cleaning the dishes. Fraze did volunteer as well but Karuze held him down.
"Thanks for helping, though I'm fine with washing them on my own" Kallua said as he washes the plates.
Zushi shook his head "You have given us the best food ever. I think helping with cleaning the dishes is the least I can do" Zushi then helping to dry the plates.
"Yeah, it was really delicious" Killua said as he too, help in drying the plates.
Hearing what Killua just said made Kallua feel extremely happy inside for being complimented by his father though he didn't show it.
When they finish washing the dishes, the group said goodbye to Wing and Zushi, then Fraze excuse himself to give the food to HIsoka while Kallua proceed to drag Killua to the town, leaving Karuze to escort Gon and accompany her.
"Hey Kallua! Is it really fine to leave your brother with Gon!?" Killua feels insecure. Not a surprise for Killua only knows about Karuze for only few days.
Kallua shrugged "No worries" then he continued "Gon is not his type after all"
Killua felt relieved but at the same time felt annoyed for Kallua's brother had no idea about Gon's allure. He let it slide for he didn't want to add any competitor to win over Gon after all.
"So, why did you drag me away?" Killua asked, he can't protest for he did once, drag Kallua away too.
Kallua sheepishly smiled "I want you to accompany me for lunch"
Killua gives a light glare "We just had lunch!" His eyebrows then furrowed "Wait, I think I didn't see you eat back then"
`Papa just noticed it!?' Kallua shouted in his mind, then takes a deep breath then face Killua with a calm look "Yeah and there is something else I want to discuss with you too"
Killua nodded immediately, he seems to sense something in Kallua's calm look. Was he angry because he didn't have lunch? Killua knows that Kallua is not someone to mess with so he only gives a quiet sigh then follows Kallua in a café to eat.
Killua blinked "I thought you are going to eat in restaurant"
"Light lunch is fine for me" Kallua said "My training menu for today is merely meditation so I don't need to eat a lot"
Killua never thought that Kallua thinks for having balanced diet and training. As they are being directed to their seat and Kallua looks at the menu while Killua look out of the window, whispers is now flooding in their ears.
"Psst, isn't that Kallua and Killua?"
"They totally look similar! OMG! But don't you think Kallua look way hotter?"
"Ehh, but didn't you hear that he has a relationship with a girl named `Gon' for he saves her and even takes a revenge for her"
"We can have Killua then, he can be a substitute"
Killua can feel his emotion boiling while Kallua quickly stood up and goes over to the girls whom are whispering about them. Even the girls are surprised at Kallua's sudden arrival.
"My apologies but it's rude to talk about us when we are nearby and please don't spread such gossips. Besides, that commentator was overreacting on what's happening so please don't believe it so quickly without further evidence" Kallua said politely as he gives a small, polite smile and let his gaze wander on the girls.
The girls blushed heavily and nodded while they stuttered.
"Thank you" Kallua said, still with his polite smile then bowed "Hope you girls have a pleasant day"
As Kallua leaves, the girls can only speechless then lean heavily on each other, completely trying not to pass out.
Killua even speechless as well, seeing how Kallua handled that well with a manner that he never thought Kallua would have. He keeps blinking repeatedly even until Kallua has already returned to his seat.
"What?" Kallua asked as he looks at Killua.
"Nothing" Killua said simply "You handled that well with perfect manners"
Kallua gives a small chuckle "I'm used to it. In all my life, I have to dealt with so many rumors after all"
Killua sweatdrops a bit. In his mind, he wants to know what kind of life does Kallua have to the point, he has to deal with all sort of rumors but at the same time, he didn't want to know.
When Kallua finally orders and receive his food, which is when Killua finally remembers something.
"Oh right. You said you have something to discuss with me, right?" Killua said.
Kallua blinked then nodded "Right, it has something to do with Gon"
Killua widen his eyes then slam both of his fists on the table "Something wrong with her!? Is she sick!? Her injuries getting worse!? Or-"
"Calm down!" Kallua immediately stood up and grab both of Killua's shoulder "She's fine and you are making a commotion.
Seeing almost all café guests are looking at them made both of them quickly apologize and calm themselves.
"You are scaring me. So what do you want to say?" Killua said in low tone as he didn't want to disturb the others again.
"Well, Gon's birthday is coming soon" Kallua said quickly, not wanting Killua to be impatient.
Hearing that made Killua eyes widen once more "Her birthday!? You know her birthday!? When!?" Luckily, Killua is not shouting this time.
"May 5th which means two months from now on " Kallua said simply "There's still a lot of time to think about what present you should give towards her"
"You're right" Killua begins to tap his chin with his fingers as he trailed off "What would be a good present for her"
As his thoughts drifted on what present Gon would like, his mind clicked suddenly.
"Wait a minute! How did you know when is her birthday? She never said anything about it to me so why did she tell you!?" Killua said, his tone is slightly hurt.
Kallua fell silent as his mind is now thinking at unbelievable speed, looking for a reason to comfort his father.
"I look it through the Hunter site. She didn't tell me a thing as well so you don't have to be that alarmed. You are far closer towards her than me" Kallua said quickly while putting both of his hands up for defense.
Blinking while holding a blush, Killlua avert his gaze away from Kallua then cross his arms "I- I suppose you have a point"
As Kallua take a bite, he watch Killua's nervous expression which earn puzzled looks
"What is it? You're acting funny" Kallua said quickly, as he is a bit worried.
"Well…" Killua look at Kallua in hesitant look "What about you? What kind of present are you going to give her?"
Kallua casually shrug "I actually haven't buy anything since I didn't have anything in mind yet"
Despite what he said, Kallua actually have something in his mind, he just wants to reassure Killua first. Good thing his poker face and natural acting works perfectly to cover up his lies so well that even an pro assassin such as his father would hardly believe that he is lying.
"I see" Killua felt somehow relieved though he is still a bit nervous "I don't even know what kind of present I should give her"
Kallua slightly lift his eyebrow at that statement. He gives Killua a half of gentle smile and mocking smile which irritate Killua almost immediately.
"I'm sure that any present you choose for her will delight her no matter what. Though, maybe you should confess afterwards you give your present" Kallua said without any hesitant as those words flows naturally out of his mouth.
However, Killua found that is certainly un-natural for now he started to blush madly after hearing it. He started to stutter and gasping for breath which alert Kallua.
"The hell!? Confess to her?!" Killua almost shouted again, luckily he didn't.
"Why not?" Kallua slightly tilt his head "I thought this would be the perfect opportunity"
Killua can't deny that it seems to be the perfect opportunity, though he still can't confess to Gon. He just thought it was a big risk, considering their friendship at stake here.
"She would never hate you. The day she did, she would kill herself" Kallua said before he took a sip of his juice.
That word certainly reassure Killua though he is quite suspicious for Kallua who seems to be very confident that Gon would return his feelings and even telling that she would kill herself if she hates him. There is no way he wants that happened for he also would never be able to hate her.
But Killua decided to let it slide, his best guy friend is supporting him. He should be thankful about it.
"I'll try. Thanks Kallua" Killua said, giving half gentle and half relieved smile.
Kallua slightly widen his eyes at Killua's expression. It has been a long time ever since he saw that smile.
Back when he is seven years old, after that incident.
Despite it has happened a very long time ago, that memory is still fresh in his mind.
"Papa, why did you do that!? You're almost in grave danger!" Kallua shouted as he looks at his father, that is now having a bloodbath of his own blood.
"It was nothing" Killua said, trying to reassure Kallua whom is extremely worried about him. How pathetic, when he is the one that is worried about his son made his son worried about him for even he could see how his son is trying not to cry in front of him.
That is when Killua gives him a half gentle and half relieved smile "But I'm glad, nothing happened to you"
How Kallua wished that he was the one who is injured, not his father whom didn't deserve this.
"Kallua?"
Kallua blinks repeatedly as he looks at Killua, whom looks worried.
"Are you alright? You are spacing out all of a sudden" Killua said in worried tone, not hiding it.
Feeling bad, Kallua gently shook his head "No worries, I'm just… remembering the past, that's all. I have finished my food so I'll be taking care for the bills first, please wait a while, alright" Kallua said then leaves Killua all by himself for a while.
Killua could feel that Kallua is telling the truth though it seems he didn't want to say anything about what he just recalled so he didn't ask. He also had a dark past that he prefers not to tell so he can understand Kallua's feelings.
As they are out of the café, Kallua goes to accompany Killua having a round in a city to know some shops and to find a present for Gon. Though unfortunately, Killua can't find anything he thought was special for Gon.
"We still have some time, you should think about it first" Kallua tries to reassure Killua, whom looking a bit disappointed.
"I guess" Killua said quietly "I want to make it special"
In a perfect moment, Kallua's phone is now ringing.
"You are not taking it?" Killua asked as he sees Kallua ignoring the call.
"It's either Fraze or Hisoka. He's the only one whom knows my number yet he is telling Hisoka and I'm getting sick of Fraze mostly calls despite it is already midnight" Kallua said, not hiding his irritation. He really wish he could put it in silent mode, but scared that he would miss the call from the Zaoldyeck family. He did give his number for them after all and they would call sometime which is why Kallua can't put his phone in silent mode for he had almost missed Illumi calling him yesterday.
"I think you should get it. Most people are staring now to wait for you to take the call" Killua said as he looks around. True enough, many people seem to give silent stare that said `Take that call! It is annoying!'
Without any choice, Kallua takes the call to find out that Fraze had called him.
"What!" Kallua said in irritation as he clenches his fist in the other hand.
"Kall-chan~ Hisoka really love your cooking! Oh and, I finally able to pre-order the tickets for the next month match of Hisoka! I would deliver them later!" Fraze said in chipper tone.
"Great. Is that it?" Kallua said, dying to hang up anytime.
"Not! I LOVE YOU KA-"
Pip!
Kallua hangs up.
Killua felt slightly sorry yet slightly amused at Kallua's interactions with his cousin.
"You two are not getting along well, huh" Killua asked, partially amused.
"I'm pretty sure you are not getting along with your brothers as well" Kallua countered which made Killua silently agree "Though you are getting along very well with your in-law brother" Kallua said, in a hushed whisper that is extremely in soft tone that Killua can't hear despite they are in close distance
"We should get back now as Fraze would come over anytime to deliver the tickets for Hisoka's match" Kallua said as he recall what Fraze just said.
"Oh right. I almost forgot about the tickets" Killua said "We should give Gon the tickets when it is already the day of the match.
"Sure" Kallua answers as both of them are now getting back to the Heavens Arena.
Weeks passed quickly as now, Hisoka's match is held today.
"Would you believe that it is already Hisoka's match day already?" Kallua said as he is walking on the hallway with Killua and Karuze. They are now on their way to take Gon to eat before watching the match.
"Tch, Hisoka is getting the entire spotlight" Karuze said, quite irritated in this fact.
"Why are you so grumpy about that?" Kallua said, almost snapped at his other half.
"You guys, we have arrived already. Don't make a scene" Killua said as he opens the door and widen his eyes.
"Killua! You are supposed to knock first!" Kallua said in a bit of anger, thinking it was rude not to knock before enters the lady room.
"Wo-hoo~ Pardon our intrusion!" Karuze immediately walk towards Killua and stands behind Killua to see the `view' but look disappointed. Seeing Karuze face made Kallua confused on why Karuze made that kind of face. It was when he peered on what Karuze and Killua had see, he finally understands why Killua look surprised, seeing Gon already healed and doing handstand. He did noted that not only his mother has fast healing properties, the same could be said for his father though he seems to be unaware for now.
"Ah, it's you three. I was about to go to Killua's room" Gon said excitingly as she keeps her balance.
The three then enters the room with Kallua the last one, closing the door.
"Are you really healed?" Killua asked in amaze and worried tone.
"Yeah" Gon proves it while moving her whole body easily, definitely looking healthy "See, I'm perfectly fine"
"Okay I get it!" Killua seems didn't care but he thought that Gon is a monster for being able to recover quickly in one month from the injury that is supposed to put her out of actions for four months.
"You are weird" Killua commented which made Gon pouted and puffed her cheeks at that remarks.
"Well, why are the three of you here?" That question made the three of them taking out ticket simultaneously that they got from Fraze, Killua is holding two tickets for the other one is for Gon.
"They are tickets from Hisoka's match. Let's talk about the details as we eats" Killua said as he got nods in agreements from Kallua and Karuze.
As they eat in a restaurant with outside seat, that is when Killua starts explaining.
"Hisoka's match is extremely popular. We are lucky that we can get those tickets from Fraze for the tickets are hot items" Killua said "And they are super expensive too. But at least we could get the tickets for free, thanks to Fraze"
"And what I'm being thankful right now is that Fraze has a match as well in the same time at Hisoka's so he won't be able to bother us" Kallua said as he gives a smirk.
"You are really happy about that huh, Host" Karuze smirks as well at this rare occasion which responded by a nod from Kallua.
"So, I've been collecting some information" Killua continued explaining "It turns out that Hisoka is the real deal. He has an 8-3 record, with 6 KO's. Each KO has led to death"
"But he's lost three matches…" Gon said, noticing the loses Hisoka has.
"His three losses were due to forfeits" Killua immediately said.
"Forfeits?" Gon seems not understanding it.
Putting on cat face, Killua said "He reached the registration deadline, so he signed up for a fight, but didn't show"
Gon's look turn serious "Which means.."
"If Hisoka actually fights, he doesn't lose" Killua said seriously and Gon nodded in response.
"And he's only given up a total of four points" Killua use his fingers to make it easier "Once knockdown, three clean hits. He's as strong as a Floor Master"
Gon groaned "I'm in trouble" as she tries to calm her shaking fists.
Of course the group exclude Gon can only look in blank look as they thought `Geez, you don't look like someone who thinks they're in trouble'
Afterwards, they are now on their way to The Heavens Arena to see the match that will be held soon.
"Fraze told us that Hisoka's opponent would be Kastro. He is the one who managed to earn three points against Hisoka in two years ago" Kallua explained as they walk at the elevator.
"You could say they have a history. Apparently, they both registered for the same day so they could fight each other. We should have the chance to analyze Hisoka's fighting style, if we are lucky, we could get all out" Killua said in exciting tone towards Gon.
As excited as Gon was, she can't help but being hesitant as she remembers her promise with Wing.
"Huh?! Of course it would be alright!" Killua snapped at Gon "You'll just watch the match!"
As Kallua talk with Karuze about something, they didn't realized that both Killua and Gon are now up ahead, shocked with a pose that is similar and mirroring from Wing's sudden presence whom look annoyed, seems to hearing their conversation. Once Karuze takes a glance up, he widens his eyes.
"Hey! Get out of the way!"
With the late warning, Kallua and Karuze crash on Killua and Gon because they are standing right at the front elevator panel and completely blocking the way.
"Damn it! Why did you guys have to block the way!?" Karuze exclaims harshly as he landed next to Killua.
"Shut it! Oi Gon, are you- WHAT THE-!?" Killua have his jaw hanging open now.
Not knowing why his host's father acting that way, Karuze turned to look and finally understands.
Kallua is now landed right on top of Gon while she is on the bottom. The pose certainly somehow looks quite erotic.
"I'm sorry Gon! Are you alright!?" Kallua said towards Gon, in the same position though Kallua slightly lift himself up so that Gon would not be crushed under his weight.
"I-I'm fine. That surprised me" Gon said as she slightly tries to get up.
Killua's face is now flushed with different shade of red as he exclaims in anger "YOU GUYS GET OFF OF EACH OTHER, NOW!"
Hearing that made Kallua quickly gets up and helping Gon to stand back on her feet.
"Geez Killua, you don't have to shout like that" Kallua said, a bit surprised from the yelling Killua just give.
However, Killua only gives an answer in a glare which successfully made Kallua more confused.
Wing gives a slight cough, causing the group to pay attention to him. They are now finally realized that Zushi is together with Wing as well.
"Anyway, Gon. You seems to be healed already" Wing said, starting what he was about to say before the knocking accident earlier.
"Ah yeah, I'm fine now" Gon said as she moves her arm around, earning a thought from Wing that she has unbelievable regenerative power.
"Now that she is healed, she can watch the match. Right?" Killua asked though it is more like suggesting.
"No, I told Gon-kun to wait two months" Wing said in stern face and tone that causing Killua to whine in disappointment.
"Gon-kun, you should spend one more month practicing `Ten' and recovering from your injuries" Wing said with his glinted glasses, hiding his expression.
"Okay, I understand" Gon said obediently, as she intends to keep her promise while Killua still having disappointed look.
As Wing and Zushi leaves, Killua decided to go to see the match with Kallua and Karuze while Gon will have to watch the recording. Neither took notice that Wing is analyzing their aura.
`She kept her promise. She only practiced `Ten' each day. I can tell form the faint aura that surrounds her under normal circumstances' Wing thought as he looks behind to see Killua and Gon `Their auras flows like serene rivers, but'
Wing lets out an aura which Zushi noticed yet didn't say anything. It was then Wing look at Kallua and Karuze.
`Their auras flowing harshly like raging waterfall in normal circumstances. Overflowing yet they seems to control the flow perfectly for they didn't feel any exhaustion with so much amount of that aura surrounding themselves, just who are they!?'
Wing lets out slightly harsher aura which Zushi immediately called out his master in surprise causing Wing to stop his aura immediately. Noticing Zushi's expression, Wing tries to compose himself.
`This won't do… I'm the one who's losing control'
It was then the hallway is crowded for people are watching the television which soon will be featuring the fight between Kastro and Hisoka.
`Oh? I expeted some kind of macho gorilla…' Killua thought as he looks at the television screen while eating some snacks.
"Kastro is not a macho gorilla kind of guy" Karuze immediately said causing Killua to flinch in surprise.
"Sorry about him" Kallua immediately apologized as he whispers towards Karuze "Don't be like that, he will think that you read his mind"
Karuze whisper back "I didn't read his mind Host, being with you whom quite alike with your father causing me be able to guess correct mostly in his and your mind"
Killua look puzzled as he looks at the interaction between Kallua and Karuze `I wonder what were they talking about'
It was then the interview with Kastro that recorded from few days ago goes on live with the television where they noted Kastro sounds confident.
Looking at his father smile made Kallua knows what's going to happen.
"Killua, me and Karuze would be getting more snacks and will be going to our seat first. You want to check on something first, right?" Kallua said while putting his hand on Karuze's shoulder, not noticing that Karuze is pouting right now.
Killua blinks in surpise as he thought that Kallua knows him fairly well but nodded and grins in thanks as he goes away.
"Host, I want to check up on that Kastro guy too as he is alive for now" Karuze said, his pout is still not leaving his face.
Kallua waves his hand dismissively as he walks off "Let's just get more snacks and wait patiently"
Karuze wants to say more but decided not to say anything as his host already made a hand sign which signaling this conversation is over.
Meanwhile, Killua had just gotten off from the elevator at the floor where Kastro is. He peeks out to see one guy as a guard which made him smirk, knowing how easy it is.
Taking one snack that he left over, he flicks it in a high speed which passed the guard and cracking the wall at the end of the hallway. As the guard attention on that, he quickly and stealthily goes inside while the guard is looking confused and horrified.
Now Killua leisurely walks around as he looks around to find Kastro room. He stopped when he sees a door slightly open and showing Kastro sitting on a couch.
As he smiles in triumph, Killua now hiding his presence with Zetsu and walks until he leans on the wall next to the door. When he peeks inside again, he sees Kastro is still sitting there.
"Was there something you needed?"
Hearing a voice behinds him made him widen his eyes, he had no doubt that the one standing behind him is Kastro.
`R-Ridiculous' Killua thought as he rolled his eyes to peek the room again, only to find that Kastro had gone.
`He was just sitting on the couch…when did he move? Did he open the door and slip behind me, without catching my attention? No, that's impossible! I never took my eyes off the door, until after he spoke. He never had the chance. How did he do this?' Killua thought for a long while before spun to face Kastro, knowing he had made him wait.
"W-Well, I was hoping for an autograph" Killua said after thinking of some excuses.
"From me? You honor me, Killua-kun" Kastro said calmly but it made Killua surprised "I keep tabs on all my rivals in the 200s class. You're not with Gon and Kallua?"
"Oh, so you do know everything" Killua said blankly, seems knows there is no use of pretending any longer.
"Are you here to scout an opponent?" Kastro said but Killua quickly denies it.
"I just wanted a closer look" Killua said, half telling the truth.
"And what do you think?" Kastro asked, growing curious.
Killua's look turn serious "You're pretty damn good"
"Thank you" Kastro smiled in gratitude "Your Zetsu was quite impressive"
That statement caught Killua's attention.
"However, you should have concealed your presence before reaching this floor. Whena an aura as strong as yours disappears, that would put most of us on alert" Kastro explained.
"You've been following up on me since I reached this floor?" Killua asked, a bit in alert.
"Pretty much" Kastro said casually.
"Then I want to know.. How did you do that just now?" Killua asked, with a hint of curiosity.
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you. After all, I might have to fight you someday" Kastro said as he look intently at Killua.
Killua raise his hand in easy going way "Don't worry. I'm not interested in fighting here again"
"Really?" Kastro seems to doubt Killua's words "That isn't what your aura says"
At that words, Killua's aura begins to react immediately.
Kastro gives a small laugh "That was a joke. I'll answer your question when we fight"
"I'll be looking forward in that" Killua gives a snide smile at those words.
"Done already? Let's go then"
In that instant, both Killua and Kastro turn around to see Kallua right next to Killua in close distance.
"Geh! Don't sneak up on us!" Killua slightly jump at the sudden close distance.
"That was good. I didn't even notice you are here" Kastro seems slightly surprised as well.
"I'm already here few minutes ago. You are taking a long time which made me worried a bit so I came here" Kallua said as he cross his arms "Guess both of you didn't notice me"
"You are using Zetsu, weren't you?" Killua asked, though it is more like interrogation.
"Nope, just hiding my presence. Sorry, it's kind of a habit" Kallua said simply which make Killua unable to believe it. Kallua is holding back a laugh for he back then, surprised his father without Zetsu even though he didn't mean it before he goes to the past.
Kastro gives a small smile as he walks back to his room "I'll wait for both of you in Battle Olympia" then he proceeds to close the door.
As Kallua look clueless and Killua narrows his eyes, Kastro shows up from the gap of the open door "I'm sure both of you can get there" then Kastro closes the door.
"I told you I'm not interested in fighting!" Killua yelled then huffed as he leaves which made Kallua follows him too.
Not long, the match between Hisoka and Kastro are about to start. Karuze feel slightly angry for he has to stay behind to take care of the seat and snacks which made Kallua apologize and Killua look at the match seriously.
"Yes, it's finally time… The long-awaited rematch between Hisoka and Kastro!" Coco announced with excited tone.
"I'm very grateful, Hisoka. If not for the initiation you gave me back then, I'd never have become this strong" Kastro said, starting a conversation.
Hisoka only chuckle "You mean to imply that you're stronger now?"
"Just so you're aware, I never used my full strength in any of the nine matches after my loss to you" Kastro narrowed his eyes, looking deadly serious "Those matches were nothing more than a warm-up for my defeat of you"
"Begin!" The referee then signaling the start of the match
"Here I come!" Kastro yelled then charging towards Hisoka then attacks while Hisoka dodge in ease but he missed Kastro snide smile as Hisoka suddenly got a hit from Kastro.
"W-What!?" Killua look surprised while Kallua and Karuze having blank look for they are already knows the trick.
"A clean hit!" the referee said as he gives the signal.
The audience erupted into cheers as Kastro has landed the first strike.
`What was that? An illusion?' Killua still utterly confused.
"Wow, watching the real thing was far better than just listening the story" Karuze smirked as he is getting excited, to the point his eyes are glowing but given all of the audience attention are fixed on the arena, no one but Kallua notices it.
"Indeed. Though we already knows the outcome, their fight are still thrilling to watch" Kallua mumbled with his eyes fixed on the arena before then looks at Karuze quietly "Can't you dim the lights of both of your eyes?"
"Impossible" Karuze answered without looking at Kallua "You can't make me against my nature"
Kallua sigh quietly "Just make sure no one finds out"
Karuze smirked "No worries, everyone attention are on this fight. They would feel it was a waste if they even look at other direction for one second. Chill, host."
Kallua goes quiet, knowing he can't stop Karuze now and he should be just watching the fight.
"Give me your best shot, Hisoka" Kastro said, intently on making Hisoka serious in fighting him "I'm not the same person I was two years ago. I won't hold back on my next attack"
Hisoka calmly replying to Kastro "You'll have my best shot when I deem it necessary"
"Very well" Kastro answered too calmly "Then I hope you'll change your mind soon"
In an instant, Kastro prepares another attack which Hisoka focusing on and able to dodge but didn't expect that he would took another damage again.
`Again.. I was sure he dodged that!' Killua thought, completely had no idea.
Kastro start charging and attacking again but this time Hisoka easily dodging it all.
"What's wrong!? Will you just run around, rather than attack?" Kastro said, not stopping his attack.
Kastro starts to kick and block by Hisoka's left hand but then realizing Kastro's presence behinds him, before Hisoka could react, he earn a kick towards his face and now laying on the floor.
"Clean hit and knockdown!" the referee gives another point for Kastro
Once more, the audience cheers at Kastro getting points as the score is now 4-0
"Have you still not changed your mind? Would you prefer to die ignorant?" Kastro coldly said at Hisoka whom are still lying on the floor.
The referee carefully approaching Hisoka "C-Can you fight?"
Hisoka only gives a creepy smile, successfully creeping the referee out.
Without saying anything, Hisoka stands up again, dusting some dust off his ankle.
"If I am not mistaken, you seemed to disappear…" Hisoka said as he assessing Kastro.
"That's true.. He disappeared! That's what I saw" Coco commented in the fight
Karuze chuckled "She had no idea"
Kallua nodded "It is wrong, not even accurate to say that Kastro dissapears"
Hearing that made Killua look at both Kallua and Karuze (luckily his eyes have stopped glowing) realizing that they know something.
"Wait a minute! You guys know what's happening?!" Killua asked in shock.
"Of course we would" Karuze said blankly "Once you know the trick, it becomes boring"
"Trick!?" Killua never thought that has happened.
"With Nen" Kallua let his gaze fixed on Hisoka "Hisoka also has figuring some things out. Seems Kastro will show the trick when Hisoka has known enough"
"You guys could have told me what was it!" Killua said in irritation.
"Well that's-" Kallua had his mouth covered by Karuze
"Just look at the arena, it would be wasteful if we told you. For sure Hisoka would find out and that will make the match look much more interesting, right?" Karuze said with teasing tone.
Knowing Karuze would never say it or letting Kallua to explain, Killua only look back at the arena while Kallua gives a glare for Karuze whom only whistle.
"No, that is not an accurate description" Hisoka put his fingers on his chin "You were readying a kick from the front, when suddenly, you were behind me. I suppose that would be more precise. But that doesn't sound right… something is off. Yes, I feel I'm missing something very basic here..."
"It's futile. If you continue to run in circles, you'll never learn the truth. Because I'm done waiting. I'll take your arm with my next strike" Kastro said in confident tone "If you still won't attack, then so be it."
Kastro lets out some menacing aura surrounding both of his fists, Tiger Bite Fist "It seems you weren't good enough."
Hisoka still stood in his original position, didn't even made an attempt to escape or counter attack.
The audience getting wild at knowing Kastro will use his Tiger Bite Fist for Kastro is getting serious.
`Tiger Bite Fist? That technique can split a tree in two, when used by a master. Meanwhile, Hisoka still hasn't figured out Kastro's ability. Well, I don't really understand it, either' Killua thought before then turns annoyed as he look at Kallua and Karuze `While I had no idea, these two already knows! And they are not even excited or curious for they keep looking at the arena with blank looks!'
Kallua do feel bad for leaving Killua out as he could see how annoyed Killua is when his gaze landed on him and Karuze so he quietly whisper to Killua "if you want to know, I'll tell you"
Killua shook his head after goes silent in 5 seconds "I'll should be able to figure a thing or two once this match is over"
Though Killua had no confidence on that
`Still, I know one thing. At this rate, Hisoka's gonna die!' Killua thought, not leaving his eyes off the arena.
"Here I come!" Kastro starts charging at Hisoka.
What happened next was surprising as Hisoka deliberately thrust out his hand to be taken.
"Not worried huh, or is this meant to be a trap?" Kastro looks doubtful but still didn't stop his attacks as he took Hisoka's other hand.
The audience turns horrified as Hisoka's right arm successfully severed. Shouts and screams could be heard from the audience.
"You shouldn't assume that I'll act the way you want" Kastro said as he stood behind Hisoka.
Hisoka turns towards Kastro with a snide smile "This was just part of the plan"
Anger builds in Kastro, he starts to attack HIsoka once more, causing him to skidding for few meters behind before then caught his right severed arm in ease.
Hisoka chuckles "I understand now, your abilities in fact are… a double"
Kastro calmly look at Hisoka "Impressive, you are correct"
"A double? What does he mean?" Killua still don't understand the whole thing.
"Don't worry. You'll understand soon enough" Kallua said as he points Kastro with his chin, causing Killua to look at Kastro.
It was then Kastro look as if he is being split into two which surprises the audience seeing another Kastro.
"Then it wasn't an illusion! When Kastro attacked, there really were two of him" Killua said, making connections.
"What is going on here? Kastro has split into two? Cloned himself? Instead of disappearing, he's multiplying! Does he actually have a twin?!" even the commentator, Coco is confused
Hisoka calmly asked "Is this your doppelganger?"
"Indeed" Both Kastro answer at the same time
"I listened to your warning, and I watched carefully, rather than run. And it turns out my deduction that you disappeared was correct. So why did I question in that description? That's because I still sensed your presence beside me. In fact, right before you disappeared, I felt a new presence. You duplicate yourself before disappearing" Deduced Hisoka as he assess the fight earlier.
Both of the Kastro smiled "I'm impressed that you managed to figure that out. I was able to successfully create a double with Nen. My double goes on the attack, while I hide in the shadows" Both of the Kastro then becomes one again "As soon as you react, I dismiss my double and attack"
`So those fluttering clothes were meant to help him hide. The most skilled Nen user would still experience difficulty in figuring out this trick, while in combat' Killua thought as he too trying his best to assessing the fight.
"Hey host" Karuze called out suddenly then frowns "Does this mean I am your double!?"
Kallua look and sigh in relief towards Killua whom still focusing on the match. He then looks at Karuze with a weird look "Well it's true that you are my other self but I never thought about you that way" Kallua said in blank tone "I never ask you to substitute nor join me in a fight after all"
"True but in that case, what are we then? Still a host and parasite?" Karuze asked, still questioning their relationship after seeing Kastro with his double.
Kallua goes quiet for a while which made Karuze frown and look at the match but then his ears caught Kallua's soft mumbling.
"You are… my best friend. I guess?"
Karuze can't help but blushing madly at that unexpected statement.
"Naturally my double is no mere illusion. It exists as a second me until I send it away. You know this after suffering an attack from my double. In other words, you must fight both of my selves" Kastro explained then he took tiger bite fist stance as he lets out his aura "This is the true Tiger Bite Fsit, completed through the mastery of Nen. I call it the True Tiger Bite Fist!"
"Incredible! We have an upset in the making! Hisoka, the winner two years ago, is in deep trouble! Will Kastro be able to avenge his previous defeat?"
"Next, I will take your left arm" Kastro threateningly said, with his True Tiger Bite Fist stance "Will you continue to act disinterested?"
"Hmm, let's see" Hisoka then lick his lips "I think I have a little motivation now" Hisoka said as he twirls his severed right arm with his index fingers which earned a confused look from Kastro yet he tries to concentrate on what Hisoka's doing for he is now taking out a white scarf.
The audience are also had no idea on what's going on. In that moment, Kallua and Karuze instantly activate `gyo' for they are sensing Hisoka is using `In' to conceal his aura.
"What's this? Hisoka has covered his right arm with a scarf?" Coco said, unable to expect it.
"Shall I demonstrate my powers of clairvoyance?" Hisoka said with taunting look towards Kastro whom seems getting angry at those words.
Hisoka then throws his severed arm that is covered with the scarf through the air and instantly, the severed arm was replaced with poker cards fluttering down.
"Wow! His right arm has disappeared, and cards rain down! What does he intend to do?!" Coco excitingly comment despite she had no idea.
"Now, then. I have cards here, from one to thirteen. Pick a number from these, and picture it in your head" Hisoka said, seems to be challenging the audience as well "Are you ready? Once you have your number, add four and double the result. After that, subtract six, and divide by two. Finally, subtract your original number and what do you have?"
Kallua narrowed his eyes "Whatever number you pick, the result would always is one!"
"Fast counting skills as always host" Karuze said as he rolls his eyes for he didn't have a chance to subtract, divide or even adding his number.
"I already know your answer" Hisoka said then digging through his arm injuries earning another scream of disgust and horror from the audience. It was then HIsoka digs out a card from his injuries.
"The answer is one" Hisoka said as he flip over the card, showing the ace of spade.
The audience went shock at the action though some also shocked because Hisoka is right for the answer is one.
"This is very strange…Insane! A satanic magic trick! And he's incorporated his own injury into the trick!" Coco commented with fear as her tone shows it.
`Why is he so calm?' Killua asks in his mind as his eyes are wavering.
"The trick is worth no points. That had no effect on the match, but he's performing tricks! Hisoka is being totally bizarre again!" Coco seems a bit shocked as she tries her best to comment.
"You may keep this as a souvenir" Hisoka said as he throws the card towards Kastro whom easily slap it away while his double is still in tiger bite fist pose.
"Scumbag, I will sever your left arm, so you can never mock anyone again" Kastro said with disgust in his tone.
Once more, Hisoka thrust out his arm which made Kastro nervous.
"Did you not hear me the first time? You may have it" Hisoka said, full of confidence as he still thrust his left arm.
"Your wish will be granted!" the other Kastro said as he moves and charging towards Hisoka.
"Whoa! One of the Kastros is charging forward!" Coco said.
Instantly, Hisoka's left arm was being severed as well.
"Hisoka has sacrificed his one remaining arm! What is he thinking?!" Coco commented with passion as well as confusion.
"What?" the other Kastro seems to realize something before then vanish.
"As expected, you attacked with your double. Had you, yourself, attacked, I would have countered" Hisoka said with chuckle as he shows his attached right arm "With this"
Confused groans and moans are coming from the audience whom didn't expect it though make it exception for Kallua and Karuze.
"Huh? His severed right arm has been restored!" Coco said in disbelief.
Hisoka gives another chuckle "This is another magic trick. Can you guess the secret behind it?"
`He's lying… He's obviously employing Nen to accomplish this feat. But what type of Nen is he using?' Kastro thought as he tries to figure Hisoka's Nen.
It was then Hisoka take a step forward "What's wrong? Are you frightened? You're surprised because you don't understand my trick. That's how magic works. Your power to create a double is certainly magnificent. But now I understand your ability" At that words, Kastro reacts for it is true as Hisoka continued "I can also anticipate how you will attack with your double. And I know how to counter that attack. It's quite unfortunate"
Hisoka then starts walking towards Kastro "You have the talent to become a skilled opponent. That was why I spared your life. Here is a prediction… You will die, in a frenzied dance"
Kastro narrowed his eyes, unable to hold himself any longer, he jumps out and use his double "Silence!"
Hisoka then looks towards Kastro at his left which made Kastro much more nervous than he originally is.
`H-how did he pick me out?' Kastro thought in fear.
"Doubles are created in the original's image" Hisoka said as he dodge the double's attack "So they tend to be pristine. But you can't recreate every effect of an ongoing battle"
Hearing that made Kastro look at his slightly bloody clothes, "Did you not realize this?" as Kastro look towards his double, he now realizes how Hisoka able to pick him out.
As his fear accumulate even further, Kastro snaps and charges with his tiger bite fist. It was then out of nowhere, Hisoka's right severed arm suddenly punch Kastro's chin hard.
"What is going on here? This sequence of events is impossible to understand!" Coco said as she stood up "Is this another of Hisoka's tricks?"
"Don't bother. I hit you in the chin, so you'll have difficulty moving for a while" Hisoka said towards Kastro whom are now swaying uncontrollably.
Hisoka smirked "Meaning that you won't be able to evade my next attack"
It was then the cards are now flying towards Kastro, attracted towards him like a magnet.
`What? Where did this attack come from? No, I don't have time for that… I must use a double to block the cards!' Kastro thought as he tries to concentrate.
"You can't create another double" Hisoka said as two cards now struck on Kastro left arm "You need intense focus to create a double with Nen" Another two cards struck on his right arm "The only reason you were able to use doubles freely " Two cards struck on his left leg "was because you had a normal state of mind" Two cards again struck on his right leg "Using Nen to replicate and manipulate "Three cards struck across Kastro's chest "Something as complex as a human being" Two cards struck across on his left shoulder "is extremely difficult" Kastro kneeled down "Just how difficult is it? By the time you've learned to use a double, you've forgotten how to use Nen for anything else. I call that running out of memory. You lost because you wasted memory space"
In finale, Kastro falls down, dead with screams from the audience.
"Kastro can no longer stand! Hisoka wins by knockout!" Coco declares it as Hisoka walks away.
At the same time, Gon flinched from her meditation. She mumbled Hisoka's name as she felt something.
As Hisoka walks and carrying his severed left arm, he sees someone familiar.
"Good work" Hearing that words made Hisoka grins "Now, show me that injury"
The two of them now walk towards Hisoka's room. As they come inside, Hisoka smiles while the other person had it's guard up.
"Yo, Hisoka" Fraze said with a grin that goes wider when he sees the other person "Hello to you too, Machi"
Machi let his eyes roam around Fraze before then looks at Hisoka "Your child?"
"Nope! We are best buds" Fraze said as he made himself comfortable on Hisoka's bed "You got yourself pretty bad, I say and you even got a pretty nurse to fix yourself" Fraze gives a whistle as he said that.
"He must be your child" Machi said blankly for she could see the resemblance as she strode over the room with Hisoka follows closely behind. Fraze can't help but chuckling in which Machi noted, extremely similar with Hisoka.
"The names Fraze" Fraze said, introducing himself with Machi nodded in response "Don't mind me, I won't interfere nor saying anything"
Machi seems to think that Fraze knows a lot but knowing he is close to Hisoka, that fact makes Machi decided to leave Fraze alone.
As Machi took both of Hisoka's severed arms, she felt like shook her head "I was never absolutely certain, but today's match confirmed it. You are an idiot"
Hisoka quietly chuckles "Perhaps" Seems admitting it.
Fraze grins as he sees Hisoka's reaction.
Machi put both of the severed arms on the table "Why do you endanger yourself this way? She proceeds to put both of her hands on her hips "Was that meant as a performance or something?"
"Who knows?" Hisoka said quietly with his eyes closed
"Entertainment is a must for Hisoka. That is what I thought you already know about him" Fraze said in which Machi can't help but agreeing inside.
"Well, I can't complain, since I'm getting paid" Machi opens both of her arms as sign of resign herself.
It was then Machi lets out her Nen and taking one of her needle out, stretching it far with nen strings hooked on the needle "I'll stop your bleeding first"
The nen strings tightly wrapping around both of Hisoka's arms. As Machi tug the string harshly, Hisoka protesting a bit "Hey, hey. Please try to be gentle"
Fraze only grins at Hisoka's remark while Machi remain cold "Yeah, yeah. Just put away your aura.
Hisoka does so, letting Machi to assess his wound "I'll start with the left arm" Machi said as she took the severed left arm then attaching it with her Nen stitches in fast speed which leaves both Hisoka and Fraze smiles at the sight.
"Okay, all done. Blood vessels, bones, nerves, and muscles. Basically, it's one hundred percent connected" Machi then tugs the stitches, letting the severed arm re-attach.
Hisoka moves his re-attach left arm with satisfied smile "An excellent job"
"Next, I'll do your right arm. Hold it yourself this time" Machi said as she throws the right severed arm which caught easily by Hisoka.
Another fast speed of nen stitches made Hisoka moan "I'm always mesmerized by your skill"
Hearing that brought another moan from Fraze as well "Same goes with me"
Machi can't help but feeling double Hisoka as she re-attach the right arm.
"Perhaps I get myself injured so I can watch you work your magic" Hisoka said as he looks at the result.
"Perhaps I would do the same thing" Fraze piped in.
"Yeah, as long as you paid" Machi said as she looks at Fraze before then looks at Hisoka "Right, twenty million for the left arm. Fifty million for the right" Machi thrust out her palm for asking the money "Pay up. Now"
"I'll send the money to your account" Hisoka said with satisfaction.
"All right" Machi then walk past Hisoka "You can treat the rest of your injuries yourself"
"You could provide better service" Hisoka said, sound disappointed.
"So, Machi" Fraze takes out his torn and battered cloak "Think you could fix this?"
"Do it yourself" Machi coldly said towards Fraze
"How cold~ Just like Kall-chan~" Fraze shudder with dreamy sigh which made Machi narrowed her eyes, thinking how old Hisoka is to have a teenager son.
"You should be able to manage with your Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise" Machi said as she packs her belongings.
Hisoka looks at the mark of the re-attach wound "I should probably conceal this. That way, they'll think my arms were healed during the match"
Hisoka takes out a scarf "This is no ordinary scarf, with no special features" Hisoka said as he put his aura on it and use the Bungee Gum to attach it around the wound then use the Texture Surprise to create a layer of skin, completely hid the wound.
`He's so fast… that was fast enough to fool a Nen master into believing the arm had actually healed, before he even knew what was happening' Machi thought, secretly impressed.
"Next, I'll do the left" Hisoka said as he proceeds into using Bungee Gum.
`Bungee Gum...He molds his aura into a substance with the properties of rubber and gum. It can stretch, swiftly contract, adhere to most substances, and be removed at any time' Machi thought as she recalling the abilities of the Bungee Gum.
"By the way, I call this Bungee Gum because when I was a child., that was the name of my favorite chewing gum" Hisoka said, recalling his childhood.
"I didn't need to know that" Machi said, knowing that information is useless.
`Texture Surprise… He combines aura with the power of his imagination, to reproduce the appearance of the skin. Essentially, it's a high-quality copy, so you can tell it's fake if you touch it. However, Hisoka's enjoys the thrill…' Machi thought as she recalls the abilities of the Texture Surprise.
"The name Texture Surprise comes from the stickers that were included with a popular snack a while back" Hisoka said, recalling his childhood once more.
"Like I said, I didn't need to know that" Machi said, getting irritated.
"But weren't you impressed by my application of these two abilities during the fight?" Hisoka said which made Machi confused.
"You saw everything, didn't you?" Hisoka said as he looks at Machi.
"Well, yeah…" Machi said, unable to lie about it.
Fraze smirks, "I saw it too. Since my match is finished quickly, I'm able to see the scene when you used the aura tricks"
"As a distraction, you sent thirteen cards flying into the air, while throwing your arm and a scarf so they'd stick to the roof and floor with Bungee Gum. The aura from each was also tied to your right arm" Machi said, recalling the fight scene.
"Additionally, you connected aura to the thirteen cards on the floor and held the ends with your left hand" Fraze continued in which Machi looks at Fraze quietly.
"Then, when you threw the ace of spades at Kastro, the aura in your left hand was released. And connected. The thirteen aura strands stuck to Kastro" Machi said, as Fraze only grins.
"But Kastro never noticed" Hisoka smirked as he says it.
"You employed one of the basic techniques, Zetsu, to help mask your aura" Fraze said it causing Machi to narrow her eyes at Fraze.
"However, there was a flaw.." Hisoka said, looking amused seeing the interactions between Machi and Fraze.
"yes, someone trained in Ren, another of the basic techniques, could have focused the Nen in their eyes, to see through your plan" Machi said then continued after giving a short glare to Fraze " That's why you used that twisted magic trick to throw him off guard, while you pretended to be reserving your strength. It even worked as a camouflage, convincing him that your lack of aura was a sign of confidence. After meticulously confirming that your plan was working, you extended a thread of aura from your left hand, the same one holding the cards, and connected it to Kastro's chin. Your preparations were now complete. You'd already used Texture Surprise to alter the scarf on the floor to resemble human skin. And so, when Kastro attacked your left arm, you activated the Bungee Gum between your right arm and the scarf on the floor. Your arm was restored, and the scarf concealed the wound, leaving everyone convinced that your right arm was restored. However, this performance actually helped Kastro to calm down"
"it made no sense for a severed arm to reappear in a pristine state.." Hisoka said, stating the obvious "Kastro realized that I was using Nen, not magic"
Another short glance to Fraze, Machi continued "But you didn't miss the subtle change in his psychological state. You exposed the weakness of his doubles"
Hisoka raise both of his arms in mocking stance "But had he stayed composed, he had a fair chance"
Knowing Fraze won't interrupt, Machi leisurely explains"However… Kastro couldn't bear the mental strain… and he lost. You realize that those two abilities are perfect for you"
"As opposed to Kastro's doubles, if my opponent knows of my abilities, I lose nothing because they're so adaptable" Hisoka said leisurely as if didn't had any care if that things do happen.
"Well, I'm off" Machi said as she threw her belongings over her shoulder.
"Already?" Hisoka instantly replies.
"My job is done so I'm not sticking around" Machi said coolly "Since Nen Stitches can only do so much, don't overdo it until your arm's firmly attached"
"Leaving so fast? What a shame" Fraze said with twinkle in his eyes which Machi ignores as she walks towards the door.
"Oh, that's right. I came here for a reason" Machi said which made Hisoka and Fraze paid full attention.
Machi seems to be a bit hesitating for giving the information but her instinct tells her that it doesn't matter. She then decided to say the information "I have new orders. All Troupe members are to be in Yorknew City by noon, August 30th, not just those who find it convenient"
Hearing that made Fraze goes slightly pale while Hisoka narrowed his eyes slightly "Will the boss be coming?"
"Most likely" Machi said, almost immediately "This could be our biggest job yet. If you skip this one, the boss might hunt you down himself" Her gaze then landed on Fraze "If you want to come to throw away your life then come if you want to"
"How very scary" Hisoka said though he actually didn't mind if the boss hunts him down or when Fraze comes to see the Phantom Troupe "Then, care for join me for dinner tonight?"
The reply Hisoka got was the sound of door closing.
"She left" Fraze stated blankly.
"A pity" Hisoka said, sounds a bit disappointed "Well I guess you'll do just fine to join me for dinner since she refused"
Fraze only shrugs with a smile for the reply.
As Gon meditate on the couch, the sound of the door opening made her look at the door to see Killua with Kallua and Karuze.
"Oh, you guys! How was Hisoka's fight?" Gon asked immediately, feeling curious.
"It was boring" Killua stated blankly as he walks
"Same, kinda for me" Karuze continued as he put both of his hands behind the back of his head.
"It's fine" Kallua said as he closes the door.
"Did Hisoka win?" Gon asked as she gets off the couch.
Killua took a glance at Gon then let his gaze wander on the window "I was lying" Gon slightly surprised while both Kallua and Karuze only maintain their calm demeanor "it was an incredible fight. I hate to admit this, but I have no idea how Hisoka won"
Gon seems shocked at that fact "You couldn't tell?"
"Well, we both can" Karuze said easy going as he glances at Kallua whom narrowed his eyes towards Karuze before looking at Killua who seems ignoring it.
"Gon" Killua called out "We need to learn more about Nen"
Hearing that made Gon smiled and nodded "Yeah!"
"We'll be in your care" Killua said as he and Gon bowed "Osu!"
Kallua gives a slight chuckle with Karuze seems smiling at bit.
As Machi had leaves the Heavens Tower, she began to think about Hisoka whom having a shower right now.
`He doesn't talk. He doesn't talk about the past. He has no interest in the past. By tomorrow, I imagine he'll have forgotten Kastro's face. He doesn't associate with others. He's his own man. Because he believes himself to be the strongest' Machi thought before she remembers about Fraze whom introducing himself as Hisoka's best friend before then shook herself out and proceeds to leave.
As Hisoka walks out the shower, he called to Fraze whom still lying on his bed as he swings his sword "You can use the shower now"
"Fine" Fraze said as he took a sitting position and noticing the troupe symbol with number 4 on Hisoka's back.
"Hisoka" Fraze called out "You forgot to remove that fake tattoo.
"Hm? Oh, I forgot to remove this" Hisoka said as he takes off the fake tattoo then looking at it.
"Spider.." Hisoka smirked in which made Fraze smirks as well.
"You seem to be having fun, because you have new toys to play with?" Fraze asked with a grin, knowing he was right.
Hisoka replies with the same grin as he looks at Fraze "True, I do found some new toys to play with" His thought then drifted on Kallua, Killua and Gon when they passing his barrier "I suppose it's time to start the hunt" Hisoka said as he sticks the fake spider tattoo that is now slowly turns into ordinary scarf.
Fraze chuckles as well, knowing soon he would be able to have a hunt he always wanted with Kallua.
He licks his lips at those thought.
Kallua is his and only prey. He would never let anyone or any predator to touch it.
Even if that predator is Hisoka.
There would be no mercy.
