Last Exam: Part 2

"Second Match: Kurapica versus Hisoka!"

The said individuals walked to the middle of the room, anxious to fight, well, Kurapica was anyway. Hisoka looked bored. "BEGIN!!"

Kurapica whipped out his weapons. He wasn't going to underestimate his opponent. Hisoka whipped out a card from thin air, just like a magician. "Hmmm," he smirked. "Don't get me too excited now. I might actually kill you."

Kurapica didn't answer, simply tightened his hold on his weapons. Then, they fought. Kurapica was holding up surprisingly well, considering it was the homicidal maniac, Hisoka. The match ended in a second. They just suddenly stopped fighting, and Hisoka whispered into Kurapica's ear. No one else heard, but whatever he said caused the blonde boy's eyes to flash to red. Then Hisoka admitted defeat. Everyone stared in awe. Hisoka...lost. On purpose, yes, but he lost. This was unheard of.

"Asparagus-nii!!" Stasy chimed as she leeched onto the magician's back. "What did you say to Kurapica?"

"That's a secret," Hisoka smiled back at her.

"No seriously, Hisoka, what the hell did you say?" She spoke sweetly, but her words were unmatching.

"I'm not telling you!" He stuck his tongue out at her while winking.

"Hisoka-niiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Come on!!" She pouted, but he was as stubborn as Gon.

"Third match!" The referee called out. "Hanzo versus Pokkuru!"

The two met each other in the middle of the room.

"Sorry," Hanzo spoke to his opponent. "But with you, I won't hold back."

Pokkuru swallowed a huge lump in his throat.

"Well, Hanzo wins, so I'm going to take a nap," Stasy spoke loudly.

"HEY!" Pokkuru yelled at her. "You don't know that yet!"

"BEGIN!"

Pokkuru was instantly smacked onto the ground, just like Gon was. Pokkuru lay paralyzed on the floor. Hanzo sat on his back and grabbed the poor guy's arm, ready to pull it off.

"I GIVE! I GIVE!!" He shouted desperately. This shinobi guy was ready for anything.

Hanzo released the boy and walked to the side.

"See, what'd I tell ya?" Stasy laughed at Pokkuru. "I wish these matches would last longer. I didn't even get to take my nap."

"Fourth match: Hisoka versus Ecstasy!"

"WHAT?!" Stasy shot up suddenly. "I have to fight Asparagus-nii?!"

"This shouldn't come as a surprise," Leorio said to her. "We saw the match-ups before we even fought. They're still there."

"I know, but I expected Kurapica to lose-no offense," Stasy shouted.

"None taken," Kurapica sighed. He seemed to be doing that a lot recently.

"Are you going to fight or not?" the juror asked impatiently.

"Yeah, sure," Stasy replied as she walked to the middle of the room.

"Again," the man in black spoke. "Fourth match: Hisoka versus Ecstasy. BEGIN!"

Stasy spread her legs apart in a fighting stance, waiting for Hisoka to make the first move.

"Since this is our first match," Hisoka smiled mischeviously, "I'll perform a magic trick for you." He whipped out two cards from what seemed like thin air. The Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Spades. He flicked them and they disappeared. "Now they have magically disappeared!"

Stasy looked about her, confused, until the pain in her back finally reached her brain. Hisoka slowly walked towards her and pulled out the two Queens from her shoulder blades. "Ah, but alas, they were behind you the whole time."

Stasy's mouth was still smiling, but her face was pale. 'I-I'm...scared...I didn't sense him move at all. This guy...is amazing. I feel like no match at all. But I...' She recovered and smirked from the heart this time, confidently holding up her fists. ' haven't even begun to fight.'

"I'll show you a magic trick!" She scoffed. "I can make solid rock ripple like water!" She gritted her teeth and concentrated all of her energy into her fist. Then, she flung her knuckles into the ground, causing a shockwave to ripple the tiles that everyone stood on. Hisoka merely leapt in the air for a moment and landed back down on the still ground. "Next time," Stasy warned him. "I'll hit you. Let's see if you ripple."

'I've heard of this technique,' Hisoka noted in his mind as he warily watched the little girl. 'The Girl With Nine Live's infamous Ripple Punch, said to cause a wave through whatever she punches. A direct blow from that could cause my organs to become unaligned. I need to avoid it as much as possible. Of course, she amateurly wastes her energy when she punches so roughly like that. She'll wear herself out.'

"You're such a barbarian," Hisoka shook his head.

"Hey! You take that back!!" She shouted and charged forward, fist in the air.

Hisoka didn't move but grabbed Stasy by the wrist and then lathargically flung her to the side. A loud bang! resonated through the cold air as she collided with the concrete wall. She fell to the floor in a cloud of dust, coughing, and looked up to prepare to attack Hisoka, but he was already standing idly right next to her.

"Fighting you doesn't excite me in the least bit," he yawned just before kicking her in the stomach. "You can't beat me with that personality. Bring out Malevolence!" He kicked her again.

"Ne-aheck-ver," Stasy coughed weakly, her blood splattering on the already stained floor. She punched Hisoka in the face, or at least attempted to. The magician had already moved to the other side of the room.

Stasy wiped her face and stood up straight. She took a deep breath and resumed her fighting stance. Now that her stomach had stopped queasing, she could fight normally. This time she would take the initiative. She charged head first, but this time, she leapt into the air just before getting into his range, and appeared behind him, back-to-back. She grabbed his head and flung him over hers and smashing him into the ground, face first. The thriteen year old girl stepped back a bit to look at her destruction.

A gasp of breath escaped her as she saw Hisoka stand back up. Not many people survived her mighty Body Slam. The green-haired magician wiped the blood from his broken nose and chuckled maniacally to himself. "I think that might've given me a little hard-on! Nice job! However," His hand shot forth and clasped around her neck, "you're nothing compared to what she could be. Bring out Malevolence!"

"You'll have to kill me first," Stasy smirked despite her lack of air.

"Actually, I think I know another way of making you submit," he licked his lips slyly. He had a devious plan. He forcefully brought her ear close to his lips and whispered, "If you bring out Malevolence, I will show you to your brother." He released the shocked girl and her body fell in slump on the floor.

'He knows where Brother is?'

That's preposterous! How could he know? Brother must be dead from that massacre some years ago!

But Hisoka knew about Malevolence and the others. He might now about this.

Even if he knew about it, he might be dead after we brought out Malevolence. We simply cannot do that! We could hurt the others also.

She's right. For no reason can we allow her to escape.

"Fine," Stasy sighed. Hisoka smiled victoriously, however his grin fell when he heard her say, "I admit defeat."

Hisoka glared unhappily at her. The juror announced Hisoka's victory and they walked to the wall. "Please don't mistake me for a retard, Asparagus-nii," she told him just before walking over to Leorio and Kurapica.

They inquired as to her reason for defeat, but she would not talk.

"NEXT UP!!" The referee announced. "Killua versus Gitarakuru!"

The pinned freak faced the little silver-haired Killua, who looked bored. However, his boredom vanished when Gitarakuru said, "It's been a long time, Killua."

The strange man began to pull thin pins out of his face which morphed and deformed as Stasy saw during the fourth exam. The beautiful, long, coal black hair flowed down his back and the cold assassin's eyes stared down at the mortified Killua.

"Irumi!! My...brother!!"
