Child of Chaos - OLD VERSION - REWRITE is up

by Curiosity44

My OLD version of this story. Check out the REWRITE The Chaotic Traveler.

9. Second World Part 4

Chapter 7: Hunter x Hunter part 4

For the next month, only a few notable things really happened. About seven all told.

One, I trained.

Two, Shadow decided she wanted to explore, and I let her out. Thanks to our bond over my magic, I can always know if she is in danger. She came back 32 hours later like nothing happened, but I heard some interesting rumors of a black cat causing chaos throughout the tower.

It had nothing to do with the angry mob screaming in the hallways, nothing at all.

Three, my match with Sasori apparently got a lot of attention and I was getting a lot of fans.

Four, Gon and Killua had their matches against Sadaso's two friends and won both.

Five, Gon and Killua bumped into me and I said hi.

Six was a conversation I had with Hisoka.

And the last was the fact that I am currently holding close to 13 billion Jenny in my warehouse…. And I didn't put it there….

Sil needed to give me some answers soon.

Hell, outside of Gol, I don't even know where the other two are.

Sil is apparently apart of some massive liquor company, and Bron has gone AWOL.

I know both are fine over our bond, but him being too far away to even reached me through house elf teleportation worries me slightly.

Anyway, for my two conversations.

With G&K:

I had just went to go for a walk when I passed by the two kids in the hallway.

"Oh hey! Jin!" (Gon)

I raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Hey Gon, I didn't think you two remembered me."

Gon rubbed the back of his head.

"Hehe sorry, I kind of forgot."

Killua was shameless and blunt.

"I did forget."

I just laughed and waved it off.

"Don't worry about it, how you two been since the hunter exam?"

We talked a bit just speaking casually and hung out together for the day.

I'm not really into hanging around people my age since I'm mentally an adult, but these two are quite mature overall.

Gon is innocent and hard headed, but he's smart and easily picks things up.

Killua is drenched in darkness but he has a pure soul and an incredibly intelligent mind, like scary smart but thankfully still young.

We talked about Nen for a while and I mentioned there were more advanced techniques after the four basics, making them both groan in annoyance.

Killua had asked how I learned about it, and I had no shame in saying Menchi kidnapped me after the exam and beat me up for months in a monster infested forest.

Surprisingly, he just nodded sympathetically and started talking about how his dad would throw him here or there for random periods of time until he completes the test or dies.

I felt bad for the kid, but he was happy with how things turned out.

I warned him about the fact that his brother was a manipulator and that sent him into his thoughts.

I wanted to tell him about the fact that Illumi had planted a needle in Killua's head during the hunter exam, but I knew it was a big moment for him to figure it out on his own and deal with it.

As for Gon, I could have told about how his father wasn't on Greed Island and that if he chose to accompany instead of magnetic force he wouldn't meet Ging, but I refrained as both are important things for the kid to figure out.

What I did tell them, was that there was a storm coming in the near future, and that they should put more effort into training.

They asked about what I meant of course, but I just said I was born with sharp intuition.

The kids train hard, harder than most adults, and have talents that can match my own for Nen, but if they train harder now, they might be less in risk of dying in the future.

What happens though is up to them.

We became easy friends but more of acquaintance friends.

I wished them luck in their matches, they did the same, and we separated.

Not much else to say.

As for my conversation with Hisoka.

I was running on a treadmill in the gym while talking to him as he saw on an adjacent treadmill.

Until I kicked his ass, he was making a point of not showing that he still trains.

But I could tell my words had gotten to him, and he works out on his own time.

"After our match, you should come to Yorknew city at the end of august, there is going to be some fun chaos over there."

"Hm.. you mean with your spider group?"

"Mhm, the boss ha…."

Hisoka turned to look at me with sharp eyes and I laughed.

"What? You really think I wouldn't catch sight of that tattoo on your back? We have been hanging out for over a month man."

Hisoka just stared at me before shrugging and letting it go.

"Eh I don't really care, it's not real anyway. I just snuck in to fight it's members."

"Haha you really are a combat junkie."

"Yeah, yeah, you coming or what?"

"I got your back man; I won't reject a chance to cause some chaos.

Besides, I actually want to check out that auction."

"Hm.. I advise skipping the underground one, I believe the boss wishes to focus his attention there."

I nodded at that and finished my running.

"Duly noted, want to grab some food?"

"Oh, I found a nice place recently."

I hit myself with a cleaning charm.

"Lead the way."

"Have I said that I envy your ability."

"Yes, yes you have, but mostly for the chaos potential."

"Can't deny that."

That was really all that my month of vacation and training had.

Oh, well, if you don't count the extreme ptsd I've developed to the word youth or certain pink toads coming back from the dead.

Speaking of the green beast, he still attempts to shout greetings at me, and I keep shooting him with stunner shots and leaving him passed out as I leave.

The damn beast wakes up withing two minutes of a normal stun. The guy has an envious tenacity.

Come the end of the first week of July, I was ready to restart my matches.

I only needed three more to challenge a floor boss.

I set up the first two to be back to back, and I promised to leave the last for Hisoka.

Hisoka would be having his long awaited fight against Gon in a few days, but after that we would have out real match.

Gon would never win against Hisoka right now, but Hisoka just wants to keep pushing his toy forward to grow more.

Anyway, my eight match up was against some rip off of that kid from My Hero Academy, the one from the B class with the copy quirk.

You know, that kid with the extremely punch-able face and the piece of shit personality?

Yeah, this guy was like that.

He used five different Nen abilities he apparently copied from others and would attack me while he monologued about how unfair life was.

About how some people like me get all the talent and others like him have to suffer and shit.

He was basically just being a whiny little bitch, and I pistol whipped him in the face hard enough to knock out some teeth while telling the bitch to grow up.

The guy aggravated me with every word he spoke.

My ninth match was in all honesty, kind of funny.

At this point, I was expecting either a good fight or some terror that this horrible, horrible, tower would throw at me.

And I have honestly started to believe my challenge here was less physical and more about surviving mental attacks.

But my ninth opponent….had…no Nen…

Yeah, this guy showed up in a hero's cape, a big open shirt showing strong muscles with hairy chest, and pretty much an afro on his head.

For twenty minutes, I listened as this guy gave a passionate speech.

I was honestly waiting for the punch line, wondering if a guy with no Nen could be legit up here.

His name seemed to be Mr. Satan, and he proclaimed himself the strongest man in the world.

He had my attention.

And I had popcorn in my inventory, so I pulled out a chair and listened along with the crowd.

The match had no time limit after all.

After twenty minutes though, he turned back to me.

"…AND THAT is why you should just give up young man. Your future is bright, and you have so much to live for. Just let go and enjoy your youth."

In the face of his long, passionate, and warm worded speech, I smiled, opened my mouth to say something as he smiled in victory, and shot him with a stunner. Without Nen.

And then I left.

Nine matches down, and I fought one good fight with two decent ones, and six mentally traumatizing ones.

Heavens arena is a fearsome place.

Time moved on after that.

On July 10th, Gon and Hisoka had their famous match, and even I had to say that Hisoka got a little too into the match.

I could swear the guy orgasmed while getting punched in the face.

It seemed Gon's unlimited potential just overwhelmed Hisoka's control for a while, but he regained it at the end with a force of sheer will and ended the match.

Gon achieved his goal though, so it ended well all around for both sides.

Gon and Killua decided to stay until after my match with Hisoka on the 14th, before they would both head to Gon's home on whale island.

As for my match, I was looking forward to it.

Hisoka and I both have a 9-0 win streak.

Your allowed 4 loses before getting kicked out, so whoever lost wouldn't really have an issue.

The 14th rolled around, and the arena was sold out with every single seat filled.

This was apparently one of the highlight matches of the season as the Battle Olympia, where the 21 floor master would fight, only happens every few years.

I even saw my old trainer, Menchi, in the crowd cheering me on.

When she saw me, I pointed to my gun and her, and the flipped her off, but she only laughed and cheered harder.

I would have my revenge on that woman.

As I entered the arena, I saw Hisoka was already waiting for me and stretching out.

"Good afternoon Jin, did you sleep well?"

"Good afternoon to you as well Hisoka, and I did, thank you for asking."

"It is my pleasure, what did you have for breakfast?"

"Hm.. well today…"

To the bewilderment of the referee, we just had a casual conversation with cheerful attitudes as we stretched out.

The match still had a few minutes before it began.

But when the time came, we both fell silent and moved to both ends of the arena.

Like two longtime rivals, our aura's manifested around us.

Around myself was a massive glowing white tiger bearing its fangs and growling.

Around Hisoka was a purple skull that oozed blood lust and maliciousness.

I had once asked about that and he said it was a result from his upbringing.

Both our aura's grew, and the crowd grew silent as the tension rose.

"Point and KO system.

10 points or a knockout will count as victory.

No time limit.

BEGIN!"

*BOOM* *BOOM*

As soon as his words fell, we both activated Ren at the same time, and our manifestations of a tiger and purple skull grew larger and clashed in the center of the arena.

The tiles shook and the wind picked up as unseen to anyone who didn't have Nen, the sheer force of our aura's fought for supremacy.

Neither of us moved from where we stared each other off, before at some unseen signal, we acted.

Both my hands snapped up with pistols faster than even a blur to the naked eye and I started opening fire.

*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*

My aim was spot on, but Hisoka had two things that countered me.

He had a perception and battle experience that surpassed my own, allowing him to dodge most of my bullets.

And he had a very versatile and annoying Hatsu ability.

My bullets hit a pink glob and got sucked in before they bounced off and launched back at me.

My magic might not hurt me, but my Nen would hurt me by impact.

Hisoka had a few Nen abilities, but the main one was Bungee Gum.

He can shape his aura into a texture that mimics the properties of gum or rubber.

It sounds so simple, but its oh so deadly in his hands.

For a few minutes we just exchanged shots as I kept trying to find a weak spot and he kept trying to close the distance.

Every time he got to close, I would shoot around me to cause various effects and build the distance against.

Smokescreens, ice, fire, softened ground, there were various ways I could not only shoot my target but anything around me.

But Hisoka was an expert at analyzing and trying to figure a way through a battlefield to his target.

He performed deadly and difficult maneuvers, dodging bullets midair or doing a back handspring to pass over a bullet.

He got close twice and managed to land glancing blows while I managed to hit him with a lightning charm doing all the damage of a single stun gun, and the explosive part of an explosion charm.

I hit the ground where he was moving to and the explosion caught him off guard, knocking him down.

So far the score was 4 – 2 in my favor.

"Hoho~ your making my blood boil Jin~."

"Point that thing away from me will you, your giving off the wrong message here."

"Oops~."

We talked and joked even as we tried to kill each other.

It was a fun dance of death and I could feel myself growing stronger with the fight.

Outside of Sasori and to a minor extent, two others, I really hadn't gotten what I came here for.

A good Nen fight.

To challenge myself and push me farther.

Menchi was great but fighting only one person was limiting myself.

Hisoka was basically bred for combat, his every move refined and not having a single wasted movement.

But where Hisoka towered over me in combat experience and martial ability, I towered over him in Nen and versatility.

The guy really handicapped himself.

He only learned so much about Nen before cutting himself off from growing so he could keep enjoying the fun of playing with toys.

At the core, I found a friend in this guy, and I wanted to help him break those chains.

"Come Hisoka! I'll show you the well you trapped yourself inside!"

"Haha! This is fun Jin!"

Nen is not inexhaustible.

We had limits based on how much aura we had, and even though I took my training much more seriously than Hisoka did, we were pretty even aura wise.

Increased talent or not, I only had a little over five months of training in.

An hour into the fight, a full hour of traded attacks and constantly moving and dodging, left us both sweating and drained.

My magic was still there but my aura was draining out and I was growing tired.

My magic was enough to sustain me for multiple hours of rampaging back in Trick Tower, but this wasn't a rampage, it was a real fight where any opening will allow my opponent to try and kill me.

There was no friendly blows, these were attacks meant to kill or cripple.

Whenever Hisoka got to close, I would use an actual spell instead of a bullet, channeling it from my hand wearing a dragonhide glove, but that only weakens the effect of the magic.

It was either that or take off the glove and mangle my hand.

Not great options.

Still, the crowd was roaring in approval, and the referee had been changed three times.

The rules say anything can be a weapon, and Hisoka seemed to take the idea of throwing the ref at me as a good solution.

They were still alive, just banged up a bit.

The score was now 9 – 6 in my favor.

Hisoka had gotten a clean blow on my shoulder at one point, and I felt the bone crack.

That's why I was down to using one arm and one gun, but he wasn't looking to hot either with various burn marks from fire, lightning, and explosions.

When you can't tell what kind of bullet it is, it becomes hard to defend.

The fact he lasted a full hour is insane, but his Nen ability helped a lot.

Thankfully, I kept a few spells to myself.

As we both faced off for the final round, I did something that surprised him, I charged forward.

Without caring for the likely trap, Hisoka met my charge.

In the center of the arena, we both jumped forward like predators going for the kill, with one arm pulled back ready to strike.

It was here I used a common spell.

Protego.

A shimmering wall of transparent light popped into existence between us, and even as Hisoka's eyes widened, he still didn't back down.

*Glass breaking sound*

As his fist smashed through the wall, shattering it, I used the opening to position my gun at his gut.

Our eyes met and he fucking pouted at me.

"That was unfair."

"Life's a bitch."

*Bang*

A full powered stunner was launched into his gut at point blank range, tossing the guy back from the force and he hit the ground.

There was silence as the dust settled but then the crowd went wild.

"THERE WE HAVE IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

OUR WINNER IS NONE OTHER THEN JIN! THE SMILING SHOOTER!

I can't believe my eyes! What a match! What a fight! Do we even know what the hell happened! Stay tuned folks as we review the match in the coming days.

But for now, we have a new champion!

Jin now has 10 wins, and he has the right to challenge one of the 21 floor masters!

Who will he challenge?! We will have to wait and see."

As the announcer went wild, the ref proclaimed my win with 12 points since the last one was a full 3.

I walked over to Hisoka and saw he was already awake; a full powered stunner was shrugged off after a few seconds.

"I lost."

"You did."

"Was I truly living in a well?"

"You were."

"I want to get stronger."

"Then do it."

"Hehe, don't die Jin, the world isn't as fun without you in it."

"No worries man, there is always more fun and chaos to cause."

And that was how my time at Heavens Arena mostly came to a close.

Menchi had congratulated me and explained herself that she wanted to make sure I didn't get a big head and grow overconfident in my abilities before admitting that it really was a scary ability I had.

She even cooked me a meal…not…

She made me cook and told me it was a test, but I swear she was just lazy.

I invited Hisoka, Gon and Killua, who brought a plus one in Zushi, to the impromptu party, and we all had some fun together.

The green beast showed up along with the batman rip off uninvited.

The beast just fucking came through the window screaming about youth, making me hit the window with a Repairing charm only for there to be a loud bang as the batman rip off slammed into the now fixed window.

He didn't realize the glass wasn't broken and fell for a while before managing to use some tools and get back up.

He came through the door the second time.

It was a weird group, but good food brings together all kinds of people, and we had a blast.

Menchi basically threatened me at knife point to bring out the booze, and well, Sil never stopped stocking the storage room full of different bottles so I didn't mind.

What I did mind, was that some fucking how, a bottle of Firewhiskey got mixed in there, and both me and Killua, who had high grades of poison immunity, both got drunk.

The beast took one sip before trying to fight a lamp like it was his mortal enemy.

The batman rip off went down for the count muttering about justice.

Gon thankfully didn't like the taste and didn't drink it.

But that left me, Killua, and Menchi, to be fucked up and decide we wanted shawarma, and left for the city.

Hisoka, who I have no fucking idea if he was even drunk or sober, followed along with a manic laughter.

There were legends spoken of that night for many years to come.

The following morning, I woke up tied to a bed by all four limbs with Menchi passed out beside me nude as the day she was born.

It took me a minute of browsing through my memories to see how the fuck I ended up this way, and it turned out I used a glamor charm on myself to look older to get into some bars without being bothered, and by the time we got back, Menchi and I were on each other like animals.

Thankfully, or unthankfully, depending on who you ask, we did not have sex.

All I remember is getting some head, and thank you for early puberty as a tiger, but that's when Menchi showed she was a little too much like Anko for my tastes, and I had to stun her.

So no, I didn't get that ass, but I got some action, and got to ingrain that beautiful piece of art into my memory, both the feel and look.

And before anyone says anything, I'm a fucking adult mentally, fuck you if I want to get some ass while drunk.

Moving on, I covered her up and moved to the living room to see one hell of a sight.

The rip off batman was tied up and hanging from the ceiling…while tied to a chicken… and he was rambling a life story to the chicken while it bobbed its head.

The green beast was at some point wrapped in chains, with one in his mouth to stop any more shouting of youth, and attached to the wall by a series of knives, I believe that was Menchi's work.

As for the kids, Gon was actually just meditating normally on the couch, while Killua was… buried under a literal mountain of empty candy boxes.

'Holy hell, how did the kid eat that much sugar in one night.'

He had a blissful smile on his face, so I ignored him.

As for the last member of the party…

No sooner did I think of him as a door to the second bedroom opened and my eyes widened as I caught sight of a freshly showered Hisoka stepping out while five naked women were passed out on the bed.

Hisoka froze as he saw me.

We just stared in silence before he nodded to my room.

I nodded at his.

We both nodded together.

""We won't speak of this again.""

With that out of the way, we went to relax on the balcony for a moment to get some fresh air when Hisoka said something shocking.

"You know, I think I found a new hobby."

I took a second to process that.

"I really want to punch you and fist bump you at the same time right now."

"What does that mean?"

"It means were bro's."

"Ah, I see."

That was all we said as we enjoyed the morning air, but that silence came to an end as Gon stepped outside looking like he just got off the phone.

"Hey Jin, Hisoka, have either of you seen Zushi? His master says he never got home last night, and he isn't in the room."

Hisoka shrugged in ignorance and I just face palmed, hard.

'We are so not fucking doing a hangover scene right now.'

*Line Break*

Zushi was found simply enough thanks to my eagle vision. I had his aura signature recorded so it wasn't hard to find him passed out in ?

After that event, with Menchi giving me a saucy wink and a kiss with a promise of having an actual good time together in a couple years, and me assuring her I would make sure she couldn't walk the next week, she left, and I knew it would be the last time I saw her for a long time.

My time in this world ended on September 10th.

Gon, Killua, and Zushi said their goodbyes and left, the first two were leaving the city and I had no reason to hang out with Zushi after this.

Hisoka stuck around another week before he left to go on a training trip, saying I inspired his desire to grow again, but I saw a new interest in him as well, the interest for female ass.

I had a feeling I unleashed a monstrous beast not only on the world of combat, but in the bedroom as well.

Anyway, I had a month to kill before the auction, so I set my challenge to fight a floor master.

Might as well become a floor master while I was here.

Fighting one wasn't as simple as other matches, and I had to wait almost three weeks for the match.

But I got the match.

I had honestly chosen randomly by levitating 21 folded sheets of paper and shooting one.

Turned out I got the 250th floor guy on my pick.

The 21 highest ranked competitors are called Floor Masters because they're given their own floor between the 230th and 250th floors.

The 251st floor of Heavens Arena holds a biennial tournament called the Battle Olympia, and the victor is allowed to live on the 251st floor in an exclusive penthouse.

As for those between 230 and 250, there is no real order for who goes where.

Any challenger that gets ten wins can challenge any of them, and the floor master has up to 6 months to respond to the challenge.

If you win the match, you replace them and take their floor as they fall back to the 200th.

Thankfully, the guy I challenged accepted within 3 weeks.

The guy's name was Kanjiru.

Kanjiru is a huge, bald man with large arm muscles and a fat belly. His head is rather egg-shaped. A long, thin, dark mustache frames his mouth, reaching past his collarbone, just like his goatee.

The guy basically looks like a sumo wrestler mixed with a normal heavyweight wrestler.

And the fight was…disappointing.

Sure, the guy was strong Nen wise, and he wasn't a fresh user by any means, but it felt like he had already capped out his potential.

Hisoka would see him as a broken toy.

The guy had a very annoying and very traumatizing ability to spit out conjured tentacles from his mouth in mass.

Along with that, he used an enhancer ability to enforce his body like a tank.

But for both of those things, I just kept running, dodging, and shooting with each bullet hitting a single spot on his body.

Like a nail being hammered in, I broke through his Ren and slammed his body hard.

Still, unlike a real life and death match where his tentacles wouldn't be that big of a deal, this was heavens arena where any hit counts as a point.

So I actually lost more points to this guy than I did to Hisoka.

The sheer amount of tentacles in enclosed space like an arena had put me at a disadvantage and also reminded me that for all my new abilities, I lacked three things the most.

One, a physical method of attacking up close. I needed some kind of close range weapon.

Two, power. My attacks just don't have the sheer power I need sometimes, and I have to compensate with using a multitude of strategies with my variety of charms.

And three, area of effect attacks. My charms were all single target based. Mix that with lack of overall power and it makes some issues.

I was glad the tower showed me where I needed to grow, and despite the horrible mental trauma, I still got some decent experience from a few fights.

The match ended with 10-8 in my favor, and I became the youngest floor master in the current lineup.

There have been plenty of monstrous kids over history, so I wasn't breaking any records.

Floor 250 became mine, a real penthouse over one thousand meters up without a single other building over 100 meters in all directions.

The battle Olympia wouldn't be for another year or two, so I ignored trying to challenge the top dog.

I met a few of the other floor masters, weird as hell people, and spared with a few of them who were interested.

The month of august was really all focused on that. I even had two challengers who picked me as I seemed like the weaker one of the bunch, being younger and all.

I killed them both.

Not because I wanted to make a point but because their aura's were twisted as fuck.

Not chaotic like Hisoka, but a sickening evil type that most likely screamed of all the souls that suffered under them.

I even double checked through the hunter information network to see they were both partner serial murderers and rapists in another country.

Aura sight was interesting like that.

I couldn't see a person's true colors until they looked at me, and even then, I had to wait until they expressed specific emotions toward me to see what was underneath.

I learned more about my aura sight the longer I used it, and unless you were my friend, you would never even know my eyes were different.

I usually kept up a glamor charm to avoid attention.

From those like Hisoka and Menchi, I got loads of compliments on the eyes.

I never even have to turn it off these days unless I spend too much mana.

My mana and aura levels have never stopped increasing as I trained, so by now, without being in any big fights, I could keep my eyes on as long as I wanted.

If I don't zoom in on something or use aura sight, I just have increased clarity of vision, but I have no pause in activating the zoom or aura sight function now.

I'm basically all Hawk-Eye's now.

My tattoo has also been slightly pulsing lately, I think my magical Animagus form is getting closer to being unlocked.

I felt it stirring whenever I went into the special space for both my forms.

It's my hypothesis that it's more of a connection to my soul than my mind like occlumency is.

Anyway, come the last week of august, it was time for me to say goodbye to my tower experience.

While overlooking the city from the balcony of my penthouse on floor 250 with Shadow on my shoulder and nursing a glass of wine in my hand, I spoke out.

"Gol."

*Pop*

"Yes master?"

"Have you enjoyed your vacation?"

"Very much master, I feel fifty years younger."

I eyed his appearance, finally back in the butler uniform after he ditched the shorts, flip flops, Hawaii t shirt and sunglasses.

His skin was very shiny and refreshed.

"Haha I'm glad, I think we're going to be having a very wild future the next few years."

"I shall endeavor to be ready for it."

"Good attitude. How's our wayward duo?"

Gol sighed here.

"*Sigh* Sil isn't that bad, it would seem he has become the head of a multi-billion Jenny corporation unwittingly."

"Unwittingly? How did that happen?"

"To my knowledge, he found a book on alcoholic drink recipes in some ruins, invaded the workshop of a small companies alcohol fermentation farm, and started creating various drinks.

When the owner discovered him, he was about to wipe the man's memories, but the man apparently cared more about alcohol then whatever species Sil was.

From there, he begged Sil to join him in creating the highest quality alcohol they could.

They attracted the attention of a successful investor, and well, things just kept going up."

I rubbed my forehead with my free hand.

"So I spend a few months fighting some of the top rated fighters in the world and make a few hundred million Jenny, and Sil just makes alcohol and in eight months becomes a multi billionaire?

I don't know whether to be proud of insulted."

"Despite what he does, we are still house elves and eternally loyal to you master."

I waved him off.

"I know, you guys are free to pursue whatever you want in your free time, and I did give you the time off, it's just funny."

"Indeed it is master, as for Bron… well… I can't reach him."

I raised an eyebrow at that.

House elves should be able to find each other without any problem.

"The bond is still strong, and I sense no issue with his health, where the hell did he end up?"

Gol shrugged.

"I am unsure… he is… well… far is the best way I can put it. Something is interfering in the connection."

Here Gol snapped his fingers and a vial of something landed in his hands.

"He contacted me the other week and the connection was weak, but he sent me this and said he would be back before the deadline and not to worry."

I took the vial Gol handed me and looked at in in confusion.

It had a rainbow like color to it and was constantly swirling.

I just shrugged and handed it back to Gol.

"I don't know what it is, give it to Sil, maybe he can make something interesting with it."

"Right away master, are you preparing to leave?"

I nodded.

"We only have a little over two weeks left in this world, and I want to go check out the auction. I didn't plan to buy anything at first but thanks to Sil… I can actually afford things now haha."

Gol nodded at that.

"I'm sure Sil will be happy to hear he was useful. I shall take this to him then."

I sent him off with a smile.

I really should have used aura sight on that vial before handing it off, but considering it was from Bron, I never even thought about it.

I would come to be surprised at the result.

*Line Break*

August 28th, Yorknew city, a sprawling metropolis of the United States of Saherta, on the Yorbian Continent.

The city annually holds various auctions from the 1st to the 10th of September, including the world's largest auction: the Southernpiece Auction, in which the world's rarest and most valuable artifacts are accumulated in one place.

Aside from thousands of lawful auction houses, the city is also famous for its black market auctions which mostly deal with illegal goods. The Mafia Community's Underground Auction takes place here every year, in the Cemetery Building.

During the ten days of the auctions, tens of trillions of Jenny are exchanged in the official auctions alone. Yorknew's auctions are where one's dreams can come true. An item bought for ten thousand can be sold for 100 million the next day.

The city's election and authority are mostly bribed and controlled by the Mafia Community.

As a result, all enforcement forces in the city ranging from police to SWAT are literally dirty cops and Mafia henchmen in which the Mafia can order them to do anything.

Its literally a city that shines in the day but shows its disease infested corruption by night.

It's not like a certain Gotham themed city as this one is actually clean and full of active business, both legal and illegal.

You don't have gang wars or uncontrolled drug trading.

Everything, both legal and illegal, is controlled and operated well.

It's just the mafia that controls it all instead of smiling fake politicians who pretend to care for people other than themselves.

I arrived in the morning, booked a room at a high class hotel, and got myself a penthouse room, overpriced but who cares, Jenny is only useful in this world.

I saw some mafia goons checking me out but as soon as I flashed my hunter ID to the concierge, they backed off.

Age, race, appearance, none of it matters if someone is a hunter.

Normal people just know not to fuck with them under any circumstance.

With a new penthouse, that honestly looked like something you would see in Las Vegas, and a new city, I stared out at the view with a smile.

'So much potential for chaos. A mafia controlled city, a world famous auction, the world's most notorious thieves planning a heist, ohoho~ so much potential.'

*Knock* *Knock*

I was broken from my thoughts by a tapping on the window and I looked over in surprise to see Athena.

Opening the window, she flew in and landed on my shoulder, pecking at my hair affectionately.

"Hey girl, did you enjoy your time with Menchi?"

"Hoo."

"I see."

I didn't.

I took the letter from her leg and read it.

{Hey Jin,

Athena was a fun girl to have around, but I'm going to be busy for the next week and you told me to return her to you by Sep 1st.

I got hired to collect some ingredients for the upcoming Southernpiece auction, fun right?

So yeah, I'm in the city now and I'll be stuck here for a couple weeks, best of luck on whatever you're doing.

With love Menchi.

P.S. I miss my tiger cuddle buddy.}

'Oi, what the fuck.'

*Knock* *knock*

"Oh what now!"

This time it was the front door.

I opened it and had to dodge a punch to the face while I returned fire at whoever it was with a bullet.

"Jin~."

"*Sigh* hey Hisoka."

*Line Break*

In a secret location only known to the higher ups in the mafia, the 10 dons, also called the Ten Mafia Dons or simply Dons, who were the 10 leaders of the Mafia, each of whom controlled a territory in one of the six continents, were all meeting in one location for the annual meeting.

They met to discuss territory or business issues and send down orders.

They also mainly talked about the underground auction that happens every year on September 1st.

The dons got tipped off about a possible heist of the auction by a fortune telling Nen user and decided to call in their strongest members, the nine shadow guards.

Nen beasts that served each of the dons.

Along with them, they started increasing the security in and around the city.

From their preparations, one would assume a war was coming.

*Line Break*

In a certain corner of the city, a newly arrived Gon and Killua had arrived to meet with their friends Leorio and Kurapika.

Along with that, they were trying to find a way to make money to buy an item for sale at the Southernpiece auction.

They had no idea they would get sucked into the coming storm.

*Line Break*

In a certain abandoned warehouse in the city, the head of the most infamous thieve group in the world, the Phantom Troupe, was sitting quietly and reading from a bible.

He smiled as he thought of the play he was about to put on by stealing everything from the auction.

His spiders were all coming in and it was almost time.

*Line Break*

On a landing strip on the outskirts of the city, a certain spoiled rich young woman who wanted to participate in the auction arrived with her body guards, unaware of what one of them would do, and how all the rest would die in various ways in the coming days.

*Line Break*

Coming off a train into the city, a certain pink haired string user of the Phantom Troupe walked on without caring for those around her who would stare in lust or envy.

'I wonder is Hisoka will show up.'

*Line Break*

At the top of a mountain in a nearby country, the world's most famous assassins had begun to move.

The famous Zoldyck's were taking a large paying mission from multiple parties.

This time, the grandfather, the father, and Illumi were all setting out to complete the different steps of the job.

They were assassins, and they did what they do best, all for the money.

*Line Break*

Aware of the coming future thanks to canon, I made plans while hanging out with Hisoka on how to cause chaos.

Unaware of the future, Hisoka only wanted to cause more chaos and fight strong people.

We were two pea's in a pod, and yet we could come up with a single good idea.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Chaos?"

"Yes, yes, but how?"

"Hm… we could kill a bunch of people?"

"Did you get kicked in head recently? I need more context then that."

"To be fair, I did get hit in the head. Apparently not all women like the same things said to them, I have had to expand my analysis."

"Gee, who would have thought."

"Let's see…. How about…"

We spent a few hours with some notepads and drinks while Shadow and Athena played around the den.

Starting an inner circle mafia war.

Setting off a marijuana smoke bomb in the center of the city.

Dropping random surprise gift boxes from the sky.

Dressing up as Santa and driving a sleigh at night while making snow fall. And yes, I can make it snow.

We made all kinds of ideas, and we were stupid enough to write them down.

Hisoka found them funny so he folded up the paper and kept it in his pocket.

"Well, want to go hit up a bar?"

"*sigh* how many women have you already gone through in the last month?"

"Hm… was I supposed to keep count? That seems rude to them."

I just looked at him like he was a stranger.

Even Shadow and Athena stopped to look at him.

"What?"

"I.. you know what… just… wear protection man."

"Oh? Didn't you know that Ten protects against such things?"

I raised my head at that in surprise.

"Really?"

"Mhm, I read a book from a virus hunter who did such a study."

"Huh, there really are a lot of benefits to having Nen."

"Yup~ So? Bar?"

"Yeah sure, I think I really made a monster with you."

"Hm? They only really call me a monster half way through, but they never tell me to stop. I wonder why?"

"Just shut up before I shoot you."

"That doesn't sound fun…"

*Bang*

"Feisty~."

*Line Break*

The night started normally.

We went to a bar, got a few drinks, talked to some girls (with me under a glamor charm to avoid annoying questions), and hung around for an hour or two before I started feeling tired.

'I just got into the city this morning, add in the time difference and I'm pretty tired.'

"Hey Hisoka, I think I'm gonna head back for the night."

Hisoka turned to me from where he was flirting with a girl and making the poor girl look like a blushing mess.

"Oh? Ok, hold on for a second, one more drink and we can go."

Seeing as how I'm immune to poison, meaning normal booze can't get me drunk unless under large amounts, I didn't mind.

The thing is though, when Hisoka came back with two drinks, oddly in bottles instead of cups, I was too tired to question it and just downed my drink while Hisoka sipped his own.

I was about to speak up when I turned and saw more than one Hisoka.

"H-Hisok-ka, w-what the he-el-l was i-n t-that dr-ink?"

"I, I d-don't know. I found a s-shady look-ing g-guy in t-the back and asked for h-his st-strongest s-stuff."

"H-hisoka."

"H-hm?"

"I h-hate y-you."

"L-love you t-to, n-now let's g-go! T-the n-night's still y-young."

{Start song ~Melanie Martinez - Mad Hatter~ }

We hit three bars after that, with us managing to start two bar fights that would make the pirates of the Caribbean proud.

In the third one, Hisoka managed to turn it into a nightclub orgy. I have no fucking idea how he pulled that one off.

After the third bar, I don't remember how and I'm too lazy to look back and find out, but Hisoka and I started fighting, we somehow made a game of punching each other through the glass windows of stores and whoever ended up in a better store won.

I got hit into a jewelry store and walked out with a nice Rolex.

Hisoka got hit into a lingerie store and walked out in his normal clothes.

We went back and forth.

But that ended when Hisoka hit me into a…. pet store.

I knocked right into the section selling catnip and well, I got a mouthful of various brands of catnip and I think my mind shut off at that point.

"RAAWWRR!"

I turned into tiger form, tore into all the catnip boxes, and rolled around through it all before Hisoka got tired of waiting and attacked me again.

The result was that I tried to fight him only to see 18 Hisoka's and I chased after the one who had a chewy looking left arm.

"RAWR!"

"W-wai..t J-jin~ That's t-the w-wrong way! HAHAHA WHO CARES!"

I took off running through the city, causing chaos as a tiger was on the loose attacking random things, and Hisoka was chasing after me laughing manically.

Hisoka managed to reach my side and shoulder checked me into a….Feminist Association office… and of course they never stop working, even at night.

"Ahhh!"

"A man and a tiger have invaded!"

"Battle stations women!"

"Wait! What's the gender of that tiger?!"

"I see a penis! It's a man!"

"KILL IT!"

"Wait! What's if it's a trans!?"

"KILL IT TWICE, ONLY REAL WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST."

"FEMALE POWER!"

"ALL STRAIGHT SEX IS RAPE!"

"RAWR?!"

Like a trained army of sorority girls on cocaine, we got attacked by a storm of arrows that blotted out the sun.

Ok, it was just randomly thrown items that would be lethal to any normal man if it hit them in the head.

But three of them did bust out machine guns, they didn't fuck around.

"Rawr?"

"Hahahahaha!" (Hisoka)

"Rawr!"

"Hahaha, what d-do you w-want me to d-do?!"

"Rawr, rawr!"

"Oh! A c-challenge! I a-accept! H-hold m-my f-face."

What proceeded to happen was a sight I would never forget.

The swarm of 'arrow's' slowly stopped as Hisoka traveled one by one to every girl…. And charmed them..

We entered that building as the greatest terrorists to walk the earth and left with a fan club for Hisoka and his sidekick tiger.

To be honest, I got mad at the sidekick part and tried to claw Hisoka's face a bit, but the bastard just smashed both hands together with a large bag of catnip between them and covered my head in a cloud of catnip.

My LSD + Cocaine trip of terror and conquest continued.

Random officers tried to stop us, but I unconsciously used stunners on em all or Hisoka knocked em out.

It was at that point that Hisoka found a piece of paper in his pocket with all the crazy idea's we had written down earlier on.

"J-Jin! No… t-tiger J-jin!"

"Rawr?"

"I k-know w-what we can d-do!"

"RAWR!"

"YEAH!"

Item #1.

Plant a marijuana smoke bomb in the city center.

Step one.

Crash a drug house.

Easy when you're a drunk and drugged out superpowered insane duo.

I also used glamor charms to make us look like members of another mafia group for Item #2.

We took all the weed and burned the rest of the drugs. But not before Hisoka decided to make a cocaine cloud inside the warehouse, and things got even worse.

Dropping a weed bomb was easy when you're a charging tiger and insanely laughing man dressed like joker.

There was a mix of coughs, curses, and cheers as a few thousand people got high at the same time.

The poor small time shawarma stands, and restaurants would be overrun with customers that night, but hey, they made more in that one night then they do in months.

In the chaos of the smoke cloud, we apparently ran right past three of the phantom troupe members, who all blinked in shock.

Hisoka was always insane, but not like this.

One of the members, a certain pink haired string user chased after the rampaging duo.

"Hisoka! What the hell are you doing!"

"Hm?"

Hisoka turned at his name being called, and his eyes lit up.

With speed only achievable thanks to his month training trip, he moved in like a phantom and shoved a bottle into the young woman's mouth.

It was the bottle that started this whole mess. Hisoka apparently bought more than 2.

The young woman, named Machi, not to be confused with Menchi, was so surprised from the action she couldn't help but take a few gulps before she smacked it aside.

"*Cough* *Cough* What the h-hell wats h-happening."

Hisoka just smiled like a maniac.

"W-welcome to the c-chaos."

{ Another song if you want some more ~Rock Star~ by N.E.R.D (Blue Crush Soundtrack)}

It was a show of the fact that these two actually got along quite well when inhibitions were tossed out the window, because they went from a tsundere and her target, to two best friends joining in the chase of the rampaging tiger.

We crashed two more bars after that, and the sight of a tiger drinking booze apparently made headlines the next day.

But it was when we were running from a group of cops that a new member joined our group.

"CUDDLE BUDDY!"

Like a charging green rocket mixed with a dire-wolf on the hunt, I got slammed into a glass window and had to reorient myself to see what the hell the plate number of the truck that hit me was.

But it wasn't a truck.

It was a green haired drunk as hell Menchi who seemingly saw the thing she craved most, her cuddly buddy.

I looked up in tiger form amidst the broken glass, spotty lighting, and all the adult toys of the store we landed in and saw her smiling down at me as she attached herself like a snake.

"C-cuddles! I m-missed t-this ff-eelliinngg."

I couldn't breathe, no, really, I was being suffocated under the power of her drunken cuddle.

This woman was a lot stronger than she looked.

I looked over her shoulder and saw my best friend coming in with his girl riding his shoulders and telling him to go faster.

Hisoka looked at the scene with my pleading eyes and smiled like the devil.

A fourth bottle of the questionable substances was brought out, but Hisoka used words this time.

"Y-you w-want yoouurr cuddles~?"

Menchi nodded fiercely.

"H-he m-mine!"

Hisoka held out the drink and I swear I saw a devils tail swishing behind him.

"T-then drink!"

Machi on his shoulders cheered.

"Y-yeah! DriNk!"

If she was sober, she might have stopped to question things, but Menchi wasn't the smartest drunk.

"FUCK YEAH!"

She downed the whole thing and I sighed.

That sigh didn't last long because another fucking catnip cloud hit my face.

"RAAWRR!"

Somewhere in the back of my mind, a certain thought was going off.

'HOW MANY FUCKING BAGS OF CATNIP DOES HE HAVE?! AND WHERE IS HE CARRYING ALL THIS SHIT!'

The night was still young, and now there was a rampaging spell shooting tiger, who thankfully didn't use Nen or lethal spells, or people would have died.

A green haired single star hunter who chased after the tiger and occasionally rode it like a stead like a true gourmet hunter.

A crazy joker clown looking to expand the chaos as much as possible.

And a surprisingly affectionate and super aggressive Machi for Hisoka, and that had nothing to do with the drinks. The drinks only removed inhibitions.

Every cop and every mafia member in the city was dirty and corrupt, so as they tried to stop us, I just kept changing our looks to different mafia groups uniforms and we went to town.

It only took an hour before fights were starting in other sections of the city as different mafia's accused different groups of attacking them.

Using mine and Menchi's enhanced noses, we actually managed to find three more drug houses, took all the weed, and burned the rest.

A few more weed bombs, this time in smaller form dropped from the sky like presents from a flying sleigh being pulled by a flying tiger, and chaos was rampant.

It was glorious, and the best part was the only people outside at this time of the night were all the scum! The innocent and good natured people new this was a mafia controlled city and never went out at night.

We got thousands high, started a mafia war, imitated a flying Santa, started bar fights, started night club orgies, turned feminists into fan girls, made it snow in august with 70 degree(F) weather outside, took down endless groups of mafia thugs, stole the mafia groups cars and proceeded to raise like it was a fast and furious movie.

In that last one, I rode a side care in tiger form as Menchi drove the bike.

Hisoka and Machi were trying to eat each other's face while he drove a sports car some punk looking mafia member had.

Safe to say, we cleared half the city and even started up minor car races as people felt inspired by our street racing.

It's amazing how fast those people operate to set up street races.

But of course, Menchi was still drunk as hell and before she crashed, I grabbed her by the back of her shirt with my teeth and jumped out of the bike as she cheered and maneuvered to get on my back.

Hisoka just straight up crashed into the ocean at one end of the city.

He came up laughing with Machi and told me in all seriousness.

"Jiiin~! W-we f-found A-Atlantis!"

Even in tiger form, I was about to call bullshit on that but behind Hisoka, dozens of shadows appeared in the water.

Was came out was some kind of chutlu looking davy jones pirate crew style fishmen.

And they were angry for apparently crashing a car into the chiefs coral reef and killing the chief.

Menchi actually had a moment of clarity to mention that these were a violent species set to kill on sight whenever found for their love of human flesh.

The dozens of horror movie looking fish men charging forward were met with four pairs of predatorial eyes.

And don't think I fear water as a tiger, I have water proofing charms.

Like a valiant beast of war, I charged forward with Menchi on my back holding sharp looking knives.

On the other side, Hisoka launched Machi up into the air and she started raining down sharp strings that cut into the horde.

We fought a movie worthy battle, invaded toward their kingdom (using bubblehead charms for everyone), and planted our makeshift flag in the ruins of the monsters encampment.

The flag was made of coral and two pairs of bra's.

But our victory and impromptu make out session was short lived as the blood of the slain monsters attracted a new one.

"*SCCRREEE!*"

Before our underwater eyes, a massive kraken appeared.

It was large, scary, intimidating, and worthy of being a true beast of the sea's.

But all it took was one sentence from Menchi.

"Ohh? A B-bluefin Kr-kraken! T-those be r-rare! F-first class d-delicacy f-fishy."

As her eyes lit up and her stomach growled, the idea of eating high class quality octopus made the rest our drunken and high stomachs rumble.

The kraken came in as a force of nature, but the four hungry pairs of eyes looking at it like a piece of juicy steak made it back up a few steps in uncertainty.

We wouldn't let it run.

A glorious underwater battle took place between a gourmet hunter riding an underwater magic spell shooting tiger, a world renowned deadly thief, a manically laughing insane joker, and a country disaster grade monster.

Over on a random beach, a spring break college party was going on.

There were drinks, drugs, loud music, firepits, and all the usual.

By a firepit closest to water, a certain shaggy looking fellow and his trusty dog best friend were entertaining a group of people while a couple joints were being passed around.

"It was one groovy as hell fight. Fred and Velma were running for their lives and Scoob and I knew we couldn't let our friends get hurt.

So we valiantly turned around, faced the beast, and said the one thing so vile, a monster would always die whenever it was said."

A random girl spoke up in excited curiosity.

"What did you say?"

The shaggy man and his dog looked at each other and nodded their heads.

They turned to the girl and spoke in deadly seriousness.

"$%* &^%* *&^&."

*BOOM!*

Everyone jumped as a massive Kraken burst from the ocean.

There were a few instant screams of terror but before anyone could really take any action, the Kraken crash landed on the beach and didn't move again.

Everyone looked in wonder at the massive, towering beast, and then they all turned to the shaggy man and his dog.

While hiding his inner freak out, he played it cool on the outside and inhaled from his joint before speaking as smoke left his mouth.

"And that's only 1% of my power."

As a few women and men fell to their knees in worship of the shaggy man, laughing sounds were heard as a few more things popped out of the ocean.

Under everyone's incredulous eyes, a trio of weirdly dressed people and a tiger of all things walked out of the water, without so much as looking even a little wet aside from their hair, and proceeded to laugh and walk toward the beast talking about making Takoyaki and Calamari.

Then the tiger seemed to notice the people and nudged the only male in the group.

The Joker looking guy with looks that made many of the women in the crowd envious and attracted, he spoke up with a slight slur.

"Ah, are w-we i-intrushing?"

The shaggy man warily walked up with his dog.

"Are you going to share that octopus?"

The joker man tilted his head and looked at the two women and tiger who all shrugged as if they didn't care.

"Sure, s-sounds fun."

The now excited shaggy man and his dog nodded, needing to hear no more words as some grade A grub was in front of his eyes.

"OI! Fred! Restart the music! We're having a BBQ!"

"YEAH!"

Cheers came from all the inebriated college students and the party kept going.

Back with our group, Menchi looked challengingly at the tiger.

"Hey c-cuddles, l-let's see who c-can skin this b-beasty best."

"RAWR!"

"Haha you s-still want a p-piece of this a-ass?"

She smacked a hand on her beautiful bubble butt for emphasis and attracted quite a few gazes.

"RRAAAAWWRR!"

"Hahahaha! Y-yus g-gotta w-work f-fors it. I s-swear, y-your l-like an a-adult man u-under all t-that fluff."

"Rawr."

Menchi blinked at the surprisingly easily understood growl that she translated as 'I am'.

But before she could question it, the tiger took off and started tearing apart the kraken with its claws.

"Oi's! T-thash cheating!"

She got dragged back into the flow and forgot the conversation for now.

Meanwhile Hisoka and Machi were both making out furiously and even managed to drag in a couple more in their animalistic play flirting.

Men and women both were left in a daze after those two passed through.

Turns out they were both Bi, who knew.

The party was kicked off with the music and the showing of a hot ass women and a badass looking tiger stripping the kraken of meat like artists before they somehow managed to form a perfect double team to begin prepping and cooking it with tools and ingredients people couldn't remember ever originally being there.

On the other side of the kraken, unseen by anyone else, a certain house elf dressed like a butler was dutifully cutting off legs and transferring them to the cold storage in the warehouse.

'*sigh* I am used to seeing a master drunk but what kind of order is: "Gollll, c-come and s-store the f-fishy m-meat." Well, who cares, I do enjoy serving such an entertaining and kind master. And I can laugh at the headache he will have in the morning. Perhaps I should misplace the hangover potions?'

While a dutiful and surprisingly slightly sadistic house elf did his work, the party was underway and continued well into the morning sunrise.

But by 10AM, the beach was covered in passed out bodies, sizzling ember fire pits, massive indentations in the sand, a half left over kraken corpse, and not just any kraken but a XXXX grade danger beast Bluefin Kraken.

There was also a strange but empty spot of sand that was felt like walking on soft pillows and another area with a trail of half nude men and women in a long line like the fell one after another before at the very end, the central location was empty.

Many would be to hungover to recall who the hell caused things to happen, but a certain shaggy man and his dog who woke up in a pile of bodies remembered, and he wondered just where those three and the tiger disappeared to before he got pulled back in by a woman who wanted more and forgot all about it.

*Line Break*

'Oh, my fucking head.'

As I came back to consciousness, the first thing that hit me was a massive head ache.

The second thing that hit me was that I was still in tiger form and my head was buried in something incredibly soft that smelled good.

In my half asleep muddled state, I couldn't help but start licking it.

Sue me, I'm still in tiger form and that felt natural.

"Hehe~ em slepin~, down boy."

'Huh?'

My mind slowly came to from the sleepy sounding voice as I opened my eyes to see a pair of lovely breasts in my face.

Looking up, I saw a familiar waterfall of turquoise colored hair.

'*Sigh* Menchi? What the hell happened last night.'

I stopped licking her breasts and used a paw to push on her stomach lightly to detach her from me so I could get up and stretch.

*pop* *pop*

'Ah~ That's the spot.'

Stretching as a cat was always more satisfying then in human form.

I took a look around as I smacked my lips and was surprised to see my location.

'Huh? How did I get into my room in the warehouse?'

And then I realized I had a guest and looked down to see a fully nude Menchi sprawled out with a stupid happy smile on her face.

It was far from the first time I had seen her nude as she had very few inhibitions during our training as well as the last time I saw her at the tower.

While my male side of the brain was ingraining the image of her into memory, the logical side was realizing that she was in my warehouse.

I may have shown her my wizard tent before, but this was different.

'Wait…if she is here…oh fuck.'

I took one more look before covering her with the blanket and taking off in a rush to the hallway and entering the other bedrooms.

And just like I feared, one of them was occupied by a newly awoken Hisoka and a nude Machi passed out on top of him like a lioness who claimed her prey.

Hisoka turned to me and smirked despite the pain of his own obvious hangover.

"Morning~."

I just stared at him before slapping a paw to my face.

At his look I just turned back into human form and pointed at Machi.

"That's your problem, if she freaks out your subduing her."

He just chuckled while Machi cuddle deeper into his chest.

"I'll handle it~. Where are we anyway?"

Deciding to stall for now, I just waved my hand.

"You're at my private house, come down for breakfast when you're ready and we have some things to talk about. I wasn't supposed to bring you here but someone kept shoving catnip bombs in my face so I couldn't think logically."

At my pointed stare he just lifted his hands in surrender with a not sorry smile.

"Oop~."

I flipped him as I walked out.

"Yeah, oops."

As I left the room, it hit me that I felt breezy and looked down to see that I was naked.

…

'You know what, I really don't care anymore. Fuck shame.'

"Gol."

*Pop*

"Yes master?"

"Can you grab me a hangover potion?"

"Right away sir, I will have to go ask Sil where he placed them so it might take a bit."

"It's fine."

I waved him off and decided to ignore the world for at least the next hour as I walked into my bathroom and turned on the shower while going over the memories of the night.

I recalled all the chaos and honestly the only consistent thing about it I was glad about was that I was in tiger form the whole time.

Very few should be able to make the connection to me on that one.

As for the other three, they would likely have bounties if I didn't keep changing their faces with glamor charms whenever we fought with the mafia or corrupt cops.

Hell, I doubt the mafia war we started had even ended yet as no one could figure out who was doing what.

By the time I reached the end of my memories for the night, I blushed a bit at what me and Menchi did, and no we didn't have sex, but it was still quite wild as I realized why I was naked in human form now.

Before I could think more on it though, I felt a pair of arms slowly wrap around me and a voice whisper in my ear as I felt a soft pair of breasts press into the back of my head.

"Morning tiger~."

I sighed and leaned back into her for a moment.

"Morning Menchi, I'm surprised to see you up already."

"Ha, I would have kept sleeping if my warm and fluffy body pillow didn't disappear on me. Come here, I'll wash your hair."

My shower had sitting area's if you wanted to relax so we sat down with my back to her.

It wasn't the first time I washed with her as it was only us in a jungle for 4 months.

"Where are we anyway Jin?"

As she worked soap into my hair I answered honestly.

"You're in my personal home, Hisoka and Machi are in another room."

"Your personal home? Weren't we in the city."

"*Sigh* it's annoying to explain it more than once so wait till breakfast."

"Hmm… does this have something to do with why I can't see you as a kid?"

My eyes widened slightly at that and I turned to see her looking at me speculatively.

"What?"

"Don't think I'm stupid Jin, we spent plenty of time alone with each other for me to realize you're not just mature for your age.

I don't get so intimate with anyone, especially never a kid, but I felt attracted to you for a good while now, and if you were really a kid, I would start having to ask myself some annoying questions.

I consider myself a top tier gourmet hunter and am renown as a genius for reaching my level at 21 years old, so tell me, are you actually a kid or am I going to have to sign up for therapy?"

At her piercing eyes, I went over the pro's and con's and decided to fuck it.

While yes, I have secrets, there isn't really a negative to telling her and I do trust her after all this time.

As for Hisoka, I would honestly say I trust him, but because of Machi, I want them both to sign contracts before I say anything to them.

'Besides, when I really think about it, there isn't exactly any rule or reason I can't tell people. I was never given a rule I had to follow; I just decide them for myself.

"Mentally, I'm around 25 I think."

Menchi raised an eyebrow at that making me roll my eyes and tell her to turn around so I could wash her hair.

She happily hummed as I worked the soap into her hair.

"I want you to know that if you don't think you can handle what I'm about to tell you, I can wipe your memories of it, and you won't have to be bothered by this again. I plan on making the others sign contracts to enforce secrecy."

I winced when I felt one of her hands grip on my own a bit strongly and she looked over her shoulder with an innocent smile.

"Mess with my memories and I will remove what makes you a man Jin~."

I nodded.

"Duly noted."

She let go and kissed my hand with a wink making us both laugh before I went back to work.

"Whatever, I don't care anymore. I died once due to some special circumstances, and due to how it happened, I ended up becoming something of a dimensional traveler without much control.

As for where you are, your currently in my personal pocket dimension and the reason I'm unsure of my age is due to fragmented memories of my first life.

All I know is that in my first life, I was around 23, and about two years have passed all told since I started my journey. In fact, it will be two years in 2 days."

Surprisingly, it was the last thing that she commented on first.

"So it's your birthday in 2 days?"

"Doing the math, yes, it will be two years since I first woke up in my new life."

"Hm.. perhaps we should do something special for it?"

It was my turn to raise an eyebrow at her.

"That's what you focus on first?"

She giggled lightly and leaned back against my chest.

"I always knew you were unique Jin; I could tell that from the first day and the longer we spent together the more that became telling.

Just because I ignored it and went with the flow didn't mean I didn't notice.

Sure I'm curious about the other points, but I'm more focused on you for who you are right now. So don't blame me for being excited for your birthday first."

I took a moment to look at the young woman laying nude against me, and I mean really look at her, and I honestly felt touched by those words. It warmed my heart a bit.

So I just chuckled and responded lightly.

"*Cough* please no more parties. My head still hurts, and I couldn't find my hangover potion, I need to speak to Gol about that."

Menchi's ears perked up at that.

"Hangover potion?"

I didn't think much about it and answered.

"Yeah, it's a potion that cures hangovers, kinda gross tasting though."

Before I could say anything else, Menchi spun around and kissed me hard enough to take my breath away.

Her body pressed into mine and we were melded together like snakes wrapping around each other.

When she pulled back to breathe I only really had one intellectual thought.

"Wha..?"

That came out of nowhere.

She looked at me excitingly.

"You just get better and better!

Traveling dimensions? Think of all the ingredients out there!

A funny, aggressive, but kind and caring personality? Jackpot.

The yummy scars adoring your body? Perfect.

Knowing you're not actually as young as you look? Fucking awesome, you're going to be my dream man physically with a few more years on you.

Being the greatest cuddle buddy in the world? I could kill for it.

And now hangover potions?

Jin, I might seriously marry you right now to stake my claim."

After getting over the surprise kiss, I just chuckled and sat her back down to rinse her hair.

"Thank you Menchi, but maybe you should here the rest of the situation."

She nodded happily.

We spent another half hour in the shower with me answering some questions and dealing with the suddenly horny Menchi, and well, I'm only a man damn it.

Knowing I wasn't actually a kid and that there were plenty of ways to physically age up in other worlds, had apparently done a lot to settle Menchi's worries, and she no longer cared about being attracted to me.

We both did agree that we would only cross the final line when I was physically older.

You can get around a lot with years of experience with all the craziness and insanity that Nen brings into one's life but having full out sex with a kid was crossing a line we both didn't want to touch.

Anything but straight up sex though was fair game.

Honestly, the main questions she wanted to answers to were things I didn't know how to answer.

Could she join me? I didn't know right now, but I do know that Zelretch said I could return to worlds once I gain control of the magic attached to my soul.

What happens to this dimension after I leave it? I had no idea.

I sent Zelretch a text on the messaging app but all he responded with was:

{We can talk when you're in between worlds.}

After that she asked about my abilities and I admitted it wasn't Nen based with a smug smile.

I felt pride knowing I pulled one over all the veteran Nen users, but the pride was short lived as Menchi was within grabbing distance of my boys.

Be careful WHERE you reveal a long standing prank guys, the shower ain't the place for it.

Thankfully, we ended on a positive note and a somewhat shiny looking Menchi and a somewhat exhausted looking me left the bathroom clean and refreshed.

*Pop*

"Ah!"

"Here you are Master."

Gol handed me two potion vials and ignored Menchi jumping in surprise.

"Ah, thanks Gol."

"Your welcome master. Breakfast is ready for you and your guests in the kitchen."

"Right, thanks as always, I can always count on you."

"Always a pleasure master."

Gol nodded with a smile to Menchi and popped away.

"Who was that?"

I turned to Menchi and realized I never explained my house elves.

"Ah, that was Gol. Him and two others are my house elves. They are sort of a symbiotic species from my last world that live off the mana of the master while they serve them."

Menchi frowned at that.

"Isn't that like slavery?"

I shook my head.

"In a way perhaps, but you have to look at the full picture.

One, house elves were a created race genetically made by wizards to guard and tend to their needs.

Two, house elves actually take joy and pride in having more work.

Three, a free house elf would starve and die.

And four, and this is the most important to me, is their opinions.

My three house elves actively enjoy serving me and ask me often for more work to do. I do my best to accommodate them and your welcome to ask them if they feel forced to do anything."

Menchi processed that before nodding.

"I can see that I guess. As long as they are happy and it's their choice."

I explained a bit more on house elves as we got dressed and headed downstairs.

We blatantly ignored the screaming and fighting sounds coming from Hisoka's room.

Neither of us had any interest in stepping into that scene where Machi wakes up and remembers everything she did. She was a real Tsundere type. Or perhaps a Kuudere? Eh, who knows.

Menchi was a bit bloodthirsty when she heard how others treated house elves, but she understood that humans are all the same.

Even in this world, many countries legalize slavery.

It's not something everyone loves, but you can't change the fact that it had been a part of humanity for tens of thousands of years.

When two counties fought in war, the loser could easily become slave members of the winner's society.

Humans are just beings of chaos in every era.

Those who lie to themselves and think the whole world only works around their own thoughts are children lashing out at what they don't like.

Life is unfair, life is kind, and life is cruel.

If you don't like it, do something about it.

Menchi told me about a few missions in pro slave countries where she snapped and killed hundreds of slave traders when she crossed them.

But there is only so much you can do before the Hunter Association is forced to blacklist you and put out a bounty. A country has the real power to have the higher standing over any single hunter, not that other countries would follow their bounty.

Well, pro slave countries might.

Anyway, the topic got dark for a bit but Menchi and I bonded a bit more over shared views.

You can be the hero and suffer your whole life, or you can live your life for yourself and those you love while doing what you think is best.

If we saw someone getting raped in front of us, we would kill the rapist and care for the victim, fuck the law and all their bullshit.

But we wouldn't go patrolling for such things, we have our own lives to live.

Was that selfish?

It was, but that doesn't make it wrong.

Anyway, I enjoyed showing Menchi around the kitchen as we waited for our wayward friends to come down.

She was like a kid in a candy store seeing everything I had.

Since me and Sil love cooking, we designed the kitchen to be a large space expanded room with multiple counters, sinks, stoves, and all kinds of appliances.

You could run a full course restaurant with a staff of thirty out of this kitchen.

It was kind of cute seeing Menchi so happy running around like an excited puppy and looking at stuff.

By the time she was satisfied, the other two had finally come down in fresh clothes and looking like they took a LONG shower.

Machi didn't seem so angry anymore but they were both looking around in curiosity.

"Hey guys."

"Hey."

"Huh? Who are you?"

Hisoka and I chuckled at that and I turned back into a tiger for a second.

"Your that tiger!? No wonder you acted so Intelligent. Wait, why were you rampaging so much in the first place?"

I sent a deadpan look at Hisoka as he turned to the side whistling innocently.

"Not only was I also given a questionable substance drink like you, but someone kept throwing catnip bombs in my face every time I started coming back to myself."

Machi sent a deadpan look at Hisoka as well but he just stuck his tongue out.

"Meanies. It was fun. I regret nothing."

Surprisingly, Machi just chuckled.

"That is actually funny, and I got you back for the drink already in an equal amount of fluid, so I don't mind."

"*cough* you sure you're not a succubus?"

"Yeah, ok, pot meet kettle. You sure you aren't an Incubus?"

Menchi and I sniggered at them as they bickered, they were like a married couple.

As we all sat down for breakfast, I got the usual questions of 'where are we' but this time I slipped over two pieces of paper.

"Hisoka, I trust you man, and no offense Machi but while I think your cool, I don't know you nearly well enough to trust you with my secrets.

You can think of these as Nen contracts. They protect anything I tell you from being spoken of to others at the risk of you, and anyone you tell, losing the memories of anything about me.

There is also a clause that protects your memories from mind reading Nen abilities, if they try to forcibly take it from you, the memories will be temporarily forgotten until the attack is over."

Hisoka didn't take longer than needed to read it over and confirm my words before signing. It was a surprising show of faith from him in how much he trusted me.

As for Machi, she hesitated.

Not only did she belong to a group that she has known since her childhood that she was loyal to, but there was also a close friend in that group that did indeed have a memory reading Nen ability.

Unknown to me, Machi was actually having another debate in her mind.

3rd person POV:

She was tired.

She saw how greed had corrupted her childhood friends from trying to help rebuild their city and take over the corruption so they could heal their hometown, into a need for more destruction and bloodshed.

It was honestly the last straw a few years back when her boss had ordered them to slaughter an innocent village of peacefully living tribesmen just so they could sell off their prized eyeballs that glowed crimson.

It was a body part collector's items amongst the rich and powerful and sold for a few hundred million Jenny a pair.

A few of her friends were never the same after that mission, falling deeper into wanting to hurt others.

When Hisoka joined up, she thought he was just another lunatic, but she couldn't help but be attracted to him.

There was always something different about him from her old friends.

He felt like a matching pair to her, his darkness called to her own, and she admired his single minded drive to grow stronger and the sheer monstrous talent and skill that he had.

But then all this shit happened.

The Hisoka she thought she knew was cracked, and an entire night of crazy shit and hours of wild sex filled in those cracks with something she never realized she was missing.

A bond was formed between two people that would always be attracted to each other, but never cross the line and wouldn't shed a single tear if one died. But now it was different, she was confused and scared, but if there was anything life taught her, it was to keep moving forward and not let her fear control her.

So after triple checking the contract with Gyo and her threads, she signed it.

MC POV:

I had given Machi a few minutes to think it over while we ate, and I was happy to see she decided to sign it.

"If this is a trap, just know that I will use strings to inflict pain on you in ways you never knew you could feel pain. And it won't be a slow death."

I looked at Hisoka with a smirk.

"I see why you two get along."

He smiled cheerily.

"Isn't she wonderful~."

Machi blushed and elbowed Hisoka for that but with the contracts out of the way, I could explain a bit to them.

After that I explained a few things to them.

They were very curious about my identity as a world traveler and asked a bunch of questions.

Some I could answer, some I didn't know how to.

Hisoka laughed hard when he heard that I was basically being trolled by an immortal dimension traveling ancient vampire with a mastery in high grade magic.

I may or may not have handed him a special contract that was once signed by Fred and George Weasley, and he gladly signed his name on it.

Zelretch's time will come!

Anyway, Machi wanted some more proof and Hisoka and Menchi wanted to see more stuff so I gave them a tour after breakfast.

They met Gol and surprisingly both Machi and Hisoka asked the same question on the slavery topic.

Assassins and monsters they might be, they actually also felt disgusted by slavery and it made me happy to be friends with them.

They fell in love with my gym/training area.

It was an enormous space with everything you could hope for after all.

Gym equipment, a boxing area with progressively heavier bags and self-training dummies, a dueling area/marksmen shooting range, my DODGE room, obstacle courses, and a few other amenities.

They each found something they loved and begged to come back so I just laughed and said they could come back later.

We moved on and I showed them the large garden.

I had three, one for flowers, one for medicinal plants, both magic and not, and the last for food, both magic and not.

Machi found an interest in the flower field and I chuckled when I saw Hisoka keeping an eye on her as she smiled among the flowers.

'I think my boy discovered some budding love.'

Menchi was of course, more focused on the food crops, excitedly trying ones she never saw before and seeing the sources of some of the ones I showed here until now.

"So this is why you never admitted where you found all those weird ingredients."

"Yeah, I couldn't really say 'Ah those? From another dimension.' I think you might have tried to stab me."

She nodded with no shame.

"I would have."

"Now I feel like I should have done it."

"Oh? I can always 'stab' you now."

I pulled an about face.

"Moving on!"

Menchi's laughter was the only answer I got.

They saw the rooms and kitchen already, so I skipped those.

I had a home spa, and boy was it annoying explaining what a spa was to the wizard designers, but I think I may or may not have started a new focus of the wizarding world.

Wizarding spa's.

If I had stayed in the world, I would have patented that shit.

Anyway, they all appreciated it and I had to take a break in the tour because they all wanted to try it out.

In a wizard style spa, you didn't need employee's.

Enchanted tools would clean, file, and paint nails.

Your hair would be washed, cleaned, and styled.

There was a booth with options for body hair removal.

There were pools for medicinal baths.

There were sauna's and steam rooms.

I had 14 different sauna's from dry wood to wet wood, to charcoal, to clay, to tile, to salt, to rock, to minerals, to infrared, to a few others. With magic you can turn any sauna into any material you want! I did get plenty of weird looks from the wizards but fuck em, they can't understand true relaxation and health benefits.

Jacuzzies, a regular pool, and cold baths.

A sitting area to relax in bath robes.

And there was even a side room with an enchanted pair of wooden hands that followed a set of guidelines to massage the back, shoulders, or legs of anyone who laid down on the cushioned tables.

It took a few hours of all of us enjoying ourselves before we left.

And before anyone ask, after last night, none of us honestly cared about being seen naked by each other.

Hisoka didn't care if anyone saw him naked, I still had some shame for random people but wouldn't care in the end if it happened, Menchi basically wears a bikini 24/7, and Machi just stopped caring around us three.

It's crazy what a single wild night could do to change someone's mind about not giving a fuck.

Besides, after the contracts were signed, and I started proving how magic was indeed different from Nen, she started to relax and drop her guard a bit.

Being around Hisoka seemed to help her even more.

And so as friends, none of us cared to be seen naked.

Touching though was very different.

Machi and Hisoka were a pair, and Menchi and I were another, we didn't crossover there.

At one point I left Machi alone with Menchi and they seemed to enjoy talking for an hour while me and Hisoka chilled with some drinks while going through the rooms.

After everyone was relaxed, I showed them the movie theater with the enchanted glass window and explained how it works.

"So you can use magic to just view any memory you want on this glass window?" (Menchi)

"Yup."

"Magic is so broken." (Machi)

"Mn, its cheating." (Hisoka)

I felt ganged up on.

"Fine, we can just skip out on watching the memories of last night then. To the next room…"

I didn't get to walk out the door before three hands landed on my shoulders and head, respectively.

"Magic is awesome."

"Just like a fairytale."

"Leave this room and I'll stab you."

I'll leave who said what to your imagination.

The next few hours were a blast of laughter and shouts of embarrassment or anger as we watched through the whole night.

I started with my memories, then pulled out Hisoka's, Machi's, and Menchi's in that order.

Watching memories is based on the viewers POV, so by using everyone's, we got to see the full extent of the chaos we caused.

Gol brought in snacks and we all asked him to stay and join us, so we had an extra commentor to the chaos.

The girls deadpanned at how Hisoka and I were thinking of how to kill time in my hotel room.

They laughed when Hisoka took my 'I'm going to head back and rest' for 'Give me the strongest questionable substance you have' from the shady guy in the back of a bar.

I swear there was Nen used in the creation of that drink because holy hell did it hit hard and take long to flush out of my system.

They rolled their eyes, and both said 'Men' at our store crashing game.

They keeled over laughing hysterically at our invasion of the Feminists, with both girls saying good riddance and how they gave women a bad name with their extremism and ignoring logic.

There was actually one feminist who had a poster up that said: "Breast feeding isn't natural! It's only been used for the last decade! Women used FORMULA for thousands of years!"

Yeah, we missed that during the event, but you can catch a lot more details in a memory clip.

Your brain stores a lot more information in your subconscious than what you actually process in your conscious mind.

After that was the explanation of how the city wide chaos started.

Machi slapped her forehead and me and Menchi laughed along with Hisoka as we all realized the chaos began from the note of ideas that Hisoka and I wrote and Hisoka placed in his pocket because he thought it was funny.

Raiding the drug cartel looking like members of a fellow mafia group, stealing the weed, Hisoka's cocaine cloud, and burning the place down before planting a weed smoke bomb in the city.

It was all hilarious to see.

And then Machi entered, and everyone turned to look at Hisoka as he shoved the questionable substance bottle in Machi's mouth.

"I regret nothing."

He sent machi a wink and she actually blushed, smiled, and punched his shoulder for that one.

It was cute.

Menchi's entrance was hilarious, and now that we were sober seeing the devils tail behind Hisoka was clear as day.

Menchi actually palmed her forehead in annoyance to see how easily she caved to the devils deal.

"By the way, why were you drunk at that point?"

I couldn't help but ask and Menchi blushed and looked away.

"Well… I completed the job and my teammates asked me to join them for drinks.

One thing led to another, I outdrank most of them, and then one guy tried to hit on me, and I was going to reject him as I felt turned off with someone else stuck on my brain.

I honestly just wanted my cuddle buddy back in my drunken state considering how used to having you around I became.

But before I rejected the guy, there were sounds of screaming outside and I took a look only to see that very cuddle buddy running like his tail was on fire.

I kicked the guy into the wall and took off running.

The rest is history."

Is it ok if I felt she was adorable when she said that?

I gave her a kiss.

"Thanks babe."

She smiled back.

"But we need to see that memory."

Her smile fell just as fast.

But with the added bonus of Hisoka and Menchi wanting to see it, she gave up and I extracted it.

The look on the guys face as he got kicked away when he thought he was hot shit was fucking hilarious.

Even Menchi was laughing as she didn't realize what she did at the time.

Anyway, we moved on and everything was just as good now as it was at the time.

The mafia war we started, the drug warehouses we raided and burned, the weed bombs we dropped from the sky as Santa imitators, and the fast and furious race across the city that inspired thousands of street races to take to the streets.

It was glorious.

The fight with fish people and the kraken was a true movie quality, and we ate a mountain of popcorn while watching.

Gol was the one commentating on things that cracked us up like:

"And that was the moment that kraken knew, it fucked up."

"You killed a fishman monster chieftain, the strongest of their species, with a car crash, underwater, unintentionally. Respect."

"Planet of the Fish: the End of Times."

We were cracking up at his comments that all came out in a bland tone.

When we got to the beach party, Menchi commented on how we wasted the rest of the kraken, but Gol assured her he collected a decent amount after my drunken order to do it.

She hugged both of us for that.

Machi forcibly had certain memories skipped over and I didn't argue as it was basically Hisoka and Menchi double teaming a line of college students into orgasmic-ly passing out one after the other.

Anyone in their path was pulled in, made to find bliss, and passed out with a smile, all while Hisoka and Machi kept going at it.

As for how things ended.

It seemed all it took was Menchi whispering something in my ear before I grabbed Hisoka and Machi in my paws, threw them into a bedroom in the warehouse, and grabbed Menchi while she laughed at my reaction and dragged her to my own room where I turned back into human form.

It was one WILD night.

Seeing as how it was the 29th and Hisoka and Machi had two days before they had to meet up with the other spiders, they decided to stick around here and relax.

I didn't mind as I was enjoying my time with Menchi and I was being a good wingman for Hisoka.

We chilled, spared, trained, and exchanged tips on Nen and different self-training techniques, and considering Machi had an insane amount of knowledge of human anatomy thanks to her Nen ability, that wasn't a small thing.

We also drank (normal alcohol) from my storage at night.

The girls were both stunned to know that the famous GSB alcohol giant was actually accidently started by my elf in his love of making new drinks.

So it wasn't a surprise my storage had every single product the company made and even many that were never officially sold but only sold to those with status.

After all, a business has to have some exclusive products for investors, partners, and politicians.

By the end of the three days, we had successfully pulled Machi into team chaos.

Using my Pensieve instead of the enchanted glass, since the Pensieve actually allows you to enter the memory directly, Machi took a good, hard look at the life and the little things she missed.

Hisoka, in a surprising show of emotion, followed her into many of them and supported her.

Even showing memories of his own past that he never talked about with anyone, even me.

I felt kind of like a chauffeur, but I was happy to help them both connect.

Besides, Menchi entertained me while they had their moment.

At the end, Machi actually pulled Hisoka by his collar and told him that if he leaves her, she might actually break.

There was a LOT, that Machi ignored and put to the bag of her mind, and now that it was all brought to the surface, Hisoka became the pillar she could lean on to get over it.

She would eventually be fine on her own, but it was touching to see the scene.

I even acted like an asshole and hovered a mistletoe above them while I made it snow.

I got two middle fingers for that, but they still kissed.

I liked Machi, she was fun and insane like us, but more calm and stable to offset Hisoka.

When they left on the 31st, with portkey's I made that could take them both here in case of emergencies within the next week and a half, but when they asked why only that long, I had to let them know I would be leaving on the 10th.

I wasn't avoiding telling them, but I just never got the chance. I told Menchi back in the showers the other day.

Machi was sad but understood I couldn't control it. She wished me luck and told me to come to pick them up for some adventures in the future.

Hisoka was a bit shocked and sad, but he got over it when I told him that I had to find more worlds for us to cause chaos in.

I also may or may not have challenged him to grow stronger so he could face bigger opponents in other worlds.

That got his blood pumping, and we fist bumped with a promise to meet again.

He was a hell of a guy and I already saw him as a brother to me.

I think it was mutual from what I felt from him.

As for Menchi…

"You don't really think I'm leaving your side for the next 10 days do you?"

Yeah, that was to be expected.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

"Good, I want to take pictures as well so when you come back with a more grown up body, I can tease you with your young form."

"Are you asking to be punished?"

"Oh? Do you think you can do it?"

"Woman, I.."

"Meow."

We got cut off from our flirting while we had gradually grown closer until we were pressed together by a voice I hadn't heard these last two days.

"Shadow?"

"Meow."

Shadow was sitting on a table looking at both of us with a face that said: 'Go on hoomans, I'm watching. Entertain me.'

I just chuckled and picked her up.

"If I can handle Shadow, Menchi, I think I can handle even Esdeath."

"Who's Esdeath?"

"Come, let's go back to the theater room as I show you one of the craziest bitches out there."

"Oh~! I'm excited."

"Meow."

Anime, my girl, and my cat in a mansion. That's the way to live.

Chapter end.
