A/N: Although I have recently rewatched the '99 I really can't remember what happens after the cooking phase… I believe it's Trick Tower but meh I think I will just make it up as I go along. Btw I am writing this under a time limit; meaning so long as I am in this *bleeps out words* class I will be writing.

Enjoy ^^


"Mary!" Gon called happily as he saw the blonde walking around the corner. She smiled and sped up to join the two of them at the window.

"Hey guys." Mary said happily as Killua blushed and looked out the window. Mary did the same. "Wow! It's so epic up here!"

"I know right!" Gon agreed. Killua shrugged.

"Haven't you two seen a night view? I mean, I get to see this all the time."

"Holy crud, really?" Mary was super jealous. Why couldn't she see a view like this all the time?

"Where's your house Killua?" Gon asked with curiosity (A/N: No duh brain -_-).

"My family lives on Kururoo Mountain, so it's like twice the height."

"Awesome!" Both Gon and Mary exclaimed.

"So what does your family do that you're so rich?" Mary asked as she leaned her arms on the window ledge. She rested her chin on her crossed arms and let out a sigh. She loved this view.

Gon nodded his head, also curious about Killua's family.

"My parents are assassins." Killua said with a straight face, looking out the window with his chin resting on the palm of his hand.

"Epically cool." Mary sighed.

"Really? Both of them?" Gon asked and Mary decided to tune out of the conversation. It would be so cool to be an assassin. So much money for so little work. Yeah, killing people was wrong but… Mary turned her eyes to Killua. He's an assassin right? Since his parents are, Killua's probably one and it doesn't seem to affect him much.

Shrugging her shoulders Mary closed her eyes. That pin head from the cooking phase popped into her brain. Was he an assassin too? He seemed really good with those pins… Yeah, he probably was. Or at least something like an assassin.

"Oi, Mary." Killua called and got a slow response. Mary's blue eyes fluttered open to lock with Killua's purple ones and he lost his train of thought briefly. She looked… really… pretty (A/N: Of course she's pretty, I'm not going to pair you up with a balding old man you know).

"Yeah?" Her voice was thicker now, she had nearly fallen asleep.

Killua swallowed.

"What do y-your parents d-do?"

"Not much… They're pretty ordinary. I wish they did something cool like assassination but…" Her voice trailed off and she shrugged. Killua thought it was weird that she thought killing people was cool. Though, he guessed it was natural for people to be fascinated by abnormal things.


Mary locked her fingers behind her neck and walked around. Gon and Killua had gone off to explore, but Mary hadn't felt like running around. She was happy just to walk around. In fact, maybe she could find a shower. It had been days since she had last been able to take a hot shower.

Mary was a girl, and girls liked baths. Especially pretty girls like Mary, who deserved showers.

Passing by a door, Mary stopped when she heard humming and saw a thin stream of steam pooling out from underneath. Oh? Was she lucky enough to have found a shower?

Turning the knob, she peeked her head inside and the humming was louder. There was also the sound of running water.

Suddenly the door was yanked open, and Mary stumbled forward. Luckily she caught herself before she went sprawling to the floor and looked up behind her to see a tall man with red hair and a painted face.

"Uh, hi?" Mary spoke uncertainly as the man looked her up and down. He smiled.

"Hi. Can I help you little honeysuckle?" He asked, closing the door firmly and Mary saw the bizarre costume he was wearing. Was he some kind of clown?

"I uh, was walking by."

"And~?"

"And I wanted a shower?" Mary tapped her foot against the floor, feeling herself fill with nervous energy.

"Oh~ And why should I allow the little flower to have a shower?" The sound of the shower was cut off and the man pouted as he looked up and over Mary. Craning her head around, Mary spotted a man with long black hair walking out of the bathroom with a loose pair of pants around his hips. (A/N: Man I wish I was Mary and could see that sight… *drool*)

"How was your shower Illu-chan?"

"…" The man didn't respond as his black eyes locked with Mary's blue ones. Those eyes… Mary's mouth hung open and she pointed at 'Illu-chan'.

"Pin-head guy!"

As soon as the words left Mary's mouth she slapped her hands over it and watched as the black eyes narrowed while the red head behind her let out a loud bout of laughter.

"I see Illu-chan as already met the little honey-suckle…" He managed to get out in between still laughing.

"Hisoka." Illu said in a threatening voice, raising a handful of roundhead pins. Mary ducked her way out of the line of fire, fumbling for the doorknob and nearly escaping before a hand grabed her wrist and dragged her back into the room.

"Where are you going little flower? I thought you wanted a shower? Hmm~?"

Mary gulped.

"Sure?"

He smiled again.

"Then by all means… the shower is currently free." Hisoka waved his hand toward the bathroom door and pushed Mary in the direction. Stumbling, the blonde made her way to the steamy room and closed the door, expelling the breath she didn't know she had started to hold.


A/N: And scene… how I thought of this I will never know. Meh, class is nearly over and I need to pay attention in the next one so… *waves* Hope you enjoyed the mental image of Illu shirtless ^^
