+ Hisoka +
The red–haired man, about 21 years of age, firmly gripped the girl's dainty neck. He could clearly see the pain that was marred on the girl's pale face when he suddenly caught her neck and clutched it tightly.
He actually knew that the girl was in the lake a while ago. He was about to go towards her but he was stopped by the sudden attack of the brown–haired man.
The man was a hunter. He claimed that he wanted to avenge the death of his brother whom he killed several years ago.
Honestly, he couldn't even remember who that brother he was talking about. So he just killed the man just to finish his sentiments.
Then, something fortunate happened.
The girl at the lake went near his location as he could clearly sense that the girl hid at the back of the bushes not far from him.
Based on the scattered aura the girl had, she doesn't know Nen, and yet, not so ordinary one.
'She couldn't even dodge this attack'. The red–haired young man, Hisoka, thought to himself as he flashed an evil grin.
He even emitted more hostile aura to scare the girl before he could kill her.
He loved to scare people to death. That even in their death, his victims were still frightened by him.
He saw the girl flinched because of his treacherous energy. He could see the small beads of sweat on her forehead and the pain that was clearly tainted on the girl's pale appearance.
However, he couldn't sense that she was afraid of him.
His narrow eyes became narrower when he thought of that.
'Hmph! This little bear was not afraid of me.' Hisoka muttered to himself. 'There's no reason that you'll never be afraid of me, unless, you can fight at least.'
Then all of a sudden, as if on cue, the girl tightly gripped Hisoka's arm with both of her hands.
Even though her hands were small, her nails became sharp and it pierced through Hisoka's white skin.
Hisoka could feel the nerves and nails of the small hands that were clutching his arm so determinedly.
He paid no heed to the sharp pain in his arm as he just raised an eyebrow while amusement passed on his evil expression. He made his wicked grin even wider as if seeing a delightful meal in front of him.
"So, you can fight, huh?" Hisoka uttered in a playful but devilish tone.
He even tightened the grip around the girl's dainty neck as fresh blood started to drip from the purple–black headed girl. Hisoka licked his lips with the mere sight of blood from the girl's nape.
"I'd love to see you covered with your own blood, hime–chan." He excitedly uttered.
Right then and there, he abruptly threw the girl towards the huge tree at his right that sent her prey flying.
Her body curled in agony as she reached her neck that was already bloodied, shrieking in pain when she hit the nearby tree.
Hisoka kept the evil grin on his face while he watched the girl regained her composure as she stood up.
Her short, hime–cut hair was already messed up with mixed dust and sweat. Her awfully pale skin was already covered with bruises and blood, especially her face and neck.
He's so sure that he already showed her that he was indeed dangerous, so she should be afraid and already trembling in fear at this point.
But still, Hisoka couldn't feel that the girl was afraid of him.
He was still amused with the girl when an interesting thought crossed his twisted mind.
He was about to approach the girl when all of a sudden, he sensed something that was fast approaching towards him.
He leaned backwards to avoid that something.
As a result, a rifle bullet was pinned down on a tree near him. Someone was trying to kill him again from afar.
Hisoka's grin was wiped out because of another interruption he had as of the moment.
"How dare you interrupted my playtime?" He uttered irately. He glanced at the girl for a while then turned at the source of the bullet. "Let me kill you first so I can continue playing."
Hisoka suddenly appeared at the back of a young man who's holding a rifle.
The man covered himself at a great distance at the back of a huge tree to avoid detection. Obviously, he was trying to kill Hisoka.
But no matter how far he was, Hisoka could easily sense where his exact location was.
"I don't care if you want revenge or whatever reason you have. I just want to kill you because you interrupted my playtime." Hisoka uttered in a dangerous tone as he waved his hand swiftly towards the man's neck.
The young man couldn't even react when all of a sudden, his head was already decapitated from his body.
Both his head and body fell on the ground at the same time from the huge tree.
"Hmph! Such a nuisance." He uttered as he turned back to look for his new 'toy.'
But to his amusement, the little girl whom he's playing a while ago was actually following him.
He could clearly sense her 15 meters away from his location even though she tried to hide her presence from him.
Hisoka's excitement flared up once again when he remembered his twisted idea a while ago.
He regained his wicked grin on his pale face as he walked towards the little girl's direction.
'This time, I will make sure that I will really enjoy playing you, hime–chan.' He excitedly thought as he licked his lips in anticipation.
In a fraction of second, he disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the girl's slightly shocked face, hiding at the back of a huge tree not far from him.
"Boo!"
Michiyo stepped back in fright when all of a sudden, the red–haired man appeared in front of her face.
He moved so fast that she couldn't even tell where he'll be going every time he disappears.
Actually, she already had the chance to escape a while ago.
When the freaky man was interrupted by another assassin, she should have used that chance to escape and save her life.
But she did not do it. Part of her mind was cursing her on what she just did.
'Aniki will surely punish me if he'll know about this. He was always reminding me to run away if I'm not sure that I can match my opponent.' Michiyo shook her thought away.
Her curiosity won that's why she was now caught once again by the deadly man in front of her.
'I was just curious about this man. I felt that he's so strong when he grasped my neck a while ago. Though I managed to pierce him with my sharp nails, he seemed not hurt. What kind of creature is this man? Is he human?' Back of her mind defended.
So now, she was faced with a great danger once again because of her curiosity.
The man emitted his malicious aura once again.
Even though the man did not touch her, she could clearly feel that she was seemed to be pushed by some powerful force.
Michiyo stepped backward to search for support. Her hand reached the branches from a tree nearby as she clasped the limbs hoping that it would support her body.
She did not know what happen next.
All of a sudden, she could feel that her whole energy was instantly drained from her body. She couldn't support her own weight and her knees were trembling.
Moreover to Michiyo's surprise, she's starting to feel an indescribable heat feeling from inside her body. It seemed that there's a steam-like feeling inside of her that's gonna explode any moment.
'What's happening to me? I couldn't move and I couldn't hold my own weight! What did he do to me?' Michiyo muttered in shock as she held a branch of tree while her right hand held her knees to support her body to stand still.
She caught a glimpse of somewhat faint steam–like clouds from her hand. She traced it and found out that she was covered by this steam–like haze. It looked like a vaporized steam from a kettle.
'Am I gonna die soon? What's happening to me?' Michiyo shook her head in her thoughts. 'No! It can't be!' She muttered while she gradually lost her balance.
Her energy was already drained as she felt the heat inside her body augmented.
She clutched her chest while she slowly fell on the ground. She curled up in pain while breathing heavily. It seems like all of the air in her lungs were drained out as well.
Michiyo couldn't decipher what's happening to her body but she still couldn't accept her fate. She wanted to fight this scorching feeling that's slowly consuming her energy but to no avail.
'What did he do to me? Is it a spell or a magic? Impossible!' She asked to herself as she gazed at the weird man in front of her.
He was sitting on a huge rock as he intently watched her predicament with a hellish grin on his face.
