As usual, the circus was a great attraction for the young and old, though none of that mattered to 'The Great Magician Hisoka', now that greater and far more important things spun in his mind. Like that foolish white hair, child had practically declared war with his words and most likely threat.

Hisoka knew that it was quite simple on what he needed to do, though. He needed to think of ways to get back at the white hair child, while at the same time making sure that his own child doesn't suspect of anything.

He leaned back against the wooden crate and flicked another card at the board that was already filled with forgotten cards. He didn't exactly have any ideas for the time being, but he knew that down the road some sick little idea will pop into his mind.

His ears perked up when his tent's flap was moved aside and a pair of feet walked into through. He glanced at the intruder with a bored expression. He was surprised to see Nobunaga standing there with his arms crossed.

"Danchou wants to see you" He stated. This was actually the first time that he had actually been inside the magician's tent. It looked quite bright and dark at the same time.

"I see...Can I at least know a small portion of what he wishes to speak to me about?~" He knew that the other wouldn't answer in a good manner, but it was always fun to mess with these fools.

A non-visible vein popped in Nobunaga head."You know damn well what he wants, Hisoka!"

He shrugged."I wouldn't be asking if I knew~ " He smirked.

The long hair male growled, but tried so hard to keep his anger on a low."Just report to his tent"He turned on his heels and stomped out the tent.

'I guess I should go check this out'.He thought, standing up from the crate. He ran his hand through his hair and took one look in the mirror before walking out his tent and heading to Kuroro's.

"You called, right?~ " He strolled in like he wasn't in any hurry.

Kuroro as always was looking over papers. He glanced up from the current paper that he held."Sit" He quickly ordered.

"My, aren't we in a hurry today~" He took a seat in front of the desk and patiently waited."So do tell what is it that you needed from me?~ "He folded his hands in his lap and raised his head to Kuroro.

Kuroro angrily snatched up a newspaper from his desk and threw it right in Hisoka's face."That's what I needed you for!"He shouted.

Hisoka didn't need to look down at the newspaper to know what he was aiming at."I don't see the problem, Kuroro~" He put his hands out, palms up."I'm merely keeping myself busy~ "

The ring master shook his head."By doing this!? I already warned you once, Hisoka!" He walked out from behind his desk and stood in front of the smiling magician."You know damn well what happen last time...and you know what almost happened too. You of all people know that I care deeply for this circus"

"And what exactly does that have to do with me, Hmm?~"

He took a seat on his desk and crossed his arms."That I'm not about to let you jeopardize all of our hard work. Do you remember how hard it was for all of us because of your stupid choices!?"

Hisoka leaned back in his seat."And you never let me forget it~" He stood up from his seat, seeing as if he continued here then this conversation could turn for the worse."Now I can't promise you anything, but I've been thinking, maybe it's time that I depart from your little family charade. I never really cared for this and I only used this circus as a way to find what I've been looking for~ " He smiled to him and walked towards the exit of the tent.

"And what would that be?"Kuroro glanced at his back.

He turned to look over his shoulder."You of all people should know. Oh! I almost forgot" He turned around fully."I let you do that once to me, but next time I won't be so kind-hearted to let it go~ " He stated in a deadly tone.

Kuroro knew that he meant the moment that he had thrown the newspaper in his face.

"Farewell~" He opened the flap and walked out.
