CHAPTER 2: THE CRUEL SPIDER AND THE JOKER

"Why do you always throw everything away?" Machi spoke from above making Hisoka stop with a smile

" you mean?" Hisoka replied, avoiding the obvious sense of that question

" you know what I mean" Machi said getting off the tree with a soft "thud"

"You build your way among others, your castle of cards..." She began as Hisoka turned " just to destroy it when finished?! I don't understand you" Machi finished confused

" a lot of people don't understand me...I guess I'm unpredictable..." Hisoka smiled appearing in front of Machi from nowhere with a card at her throat making her gasp "that's what makes me a transmuter and besides.." He moved his card slightly to make her stay still

"if what you said was true I would have already killed you…all of you." He said slowly removing the card "but I didn't~" Hisoka finished playfully as Machi stood up

" but then, why don't you keep up what you built? Isn't it easier to live on what you created than just starting everytime from anew?" Machi asked again

"That's just who I am..." Hisoka finished As Machi softened

"You know...even Kuroro changed, Pakunoda and all of us...the chain user made us understand a lot of things back then..." She said

"Why are you telling me this? " Hisoka asked

"Because...people have changed now...so if you want to come back on your steps...I guess you can" she finished

"So you want me to come back in the spider?! Is that it? " Hisoka joked

" indeed it's not Baka...what I mean is, today you can keep up your castles because no one will crush them" Machi finished as Hisoka turned serious again

"..."

"Well then, I gotta move...unlike you, I have orders to follow" Machi said as Hisoka smiled again

"Okay, catch me~ if you can~" he said in a playful manner as he resumed walking.

"We'll do that! but hey...why did you lie to those kids?" Machi asked

"Because of Kuroro...and don't forget I want to fight him now that he has his Nen back " Hisoka said as Machi fumed

" I'd like to see you try..." She said as Hisoka walked

" first I have to get rid of another matter..." Hisoka said again

"The one you fought? Is he so strong?" Machi asked

" yeah, he is...I was really fighting someone.. ." Hisoka said as Machi was curious

" who is it?" She asked again as Hisoka played with his cards

" I told them before didn't I? Se -cr -et " Hisoka finished leaving Machi alone in the forest

"Secret uh?! Whatever then, I'll come back to the base...see ya around Hisoka" she said to herself before leaving.

"Ja-ne~" said back Hisoka making her smile slightly while Nobunaga and Phinx looked around to find the pedo-clown, so they called him...
