Hi mina! I'm back with another chapter of Demonic Love, strange, right? But since summer vacation is almost over, I want to make as many chapters as possible. I don't care if it's this one or my other stories. As long it's either Stolen Emeralds, Maya Rocks, or my other stories that are recent. So just sit back, relax and enjoy this chapter.

Grace's POV

It's quite amazing actually. I never imagine that I could make it this far. Maybe fate is telling me to continue with them. We're on the boat to Zevil Island and every one of the applicants are standing here to know what the next phase is. Everything is going smoothly. He said that 26 people passed… that's one more than I knew of… but it's probably my imagination and the 25 is going to be… 25?! 25!

WHAT?!

"Oh yeah," Lippo continued. Maybe he'll answer why this is so messed up right now… please… "I know that you all are very confused there's only 25 hunters instead of 26. Well, there are going to be 26 hunties. So there is one… who badge is now worth… 6 points!" I have a feeling. I have this gut feeling that the 6 point is going to be… "The badge that is going to be worth 6 points is #405! Sennosuke!" I knew it… "So if you lose any of your points, you can simply go to hunt him down, but just a simple warning. He is stronger than you think, so be very careful around him. And Sennosuke."

"Y-yes?" I stuttered.

"Your mission is to survive the following days. You will obviously fail if someone takes, but if you do make it without anyone taking your badge, or you get it back by the time when this phase ended, that doesn't mean that you are going to the next phase just yet."

Huh… I don't get it. If I do survive, what will happen to me? "Lippo… what will happen if I do make it without anyone stealing my badge?"

He laughed… that isn't a good sign. "You will have a personal stage with Chairman Netero. Depending on how you will do, you will either become a Hunter automatically or go onto the next stage of the exam. Do I make myself clear? We expect great things from you… Sennosuke."

Oh God… oh god… I wish that I never existed. Ever… Or go back home and cry to my mom…. Ok. I need to calm my nerves. I'm a lot stronger than Hisoka, so there's no need to worry. Right… but what if Kurapika and Leorio want to hunt me too? What should I do? And there are bound to hunt me to the ends of the earth to get my badge! No, no, no, no, NO! They want to rid of me because of Fiona's Nen caused them to- AH HA! I now know a way to escape their grasp and everyone else's! Since that Kurapika and Leorio doesn't know that I'm Grace, which is my real name, I can simply roam in my vampire self. And since everyone is targeting me, I have to move fast. Now that-

"I don't have the slightest clue." What the? That was Kurapika's voice over there. What are they talking about? "Sennosuke is so fast that I can't even catch up to the guy. He is way beyond the strength of Hisoka. Like Killua said. One punch, and Hisoka will probably die from it."

I peeked to see Leorio and Kurapika sitting down Talking. Leorio looked at him. "But what should we do? We need him to fail, and this is our chance! If we don't, then Fiona's effort to stop him will be in vain! We have to do something."

Kurapika then looked down. I don't get it. Why did he had that mental breakdown from before? What is going through his mind? He's as cool as they can be here, so what is his reason to- no… I don't need to know anything about him. It's his business, so I shouldn't get involve with it. But how will I know what's wrong? I'm not sure of myself anymore.

"Kurapika! Are you listening?!"

"I am!" he paused. "I have no idea what, but for some reason, I have this feeling that something isn't right."

"What do you mean?"

"What I am trying to say is that you remember what happened when she smiled at Sennosuke and he said that he rather not give up on anyone." Leorio nodded. "How come he mentioned that? "Then how come we're supposed to hate him, and why is that this feeling is telling me that we shouldn't hate him at all?"

D-did he… did I hear him right? No, my mind is probably playing tricks on me. It's not like loneliness is my weakness. My gut is telling me that there's more I need to hear.

"Fiona was smiling for some reason and don't you remember what she said?"

What she said to me? What did she tell… of yeah… now I remember.

"I wonder what she meant by get his friends back. Maybe one of them did something to another."

"Will you stop your thinking?!" I mean, Fiona got in prison because of Sennosuke. It's not hard to know that he's our enemy."

… I shouldn't listen anymore…

Kurapika's POV

Leorio's right. Because of him, he put Fiona into prison. But this unrelenting feeling is saying that something is wrong. I can't hat him at all. Maybe he's… he's… no… we're wrong about him. Gon and Killua likes him. The three act like best friends… no third wheel, so arguments that mean any harm. I probably overthinking this, but somewhere in my heart tells me I have no reason to hate him… My emotions are getting in the way of what's right and wrong, so I shouldn't listen to them.

~I know of our future, but then you still control the past~

Huh? Fiona…? Sennosuke… I thought-

~Only you know if we shall last~

That voice… didn't it belong to Fiona? No… I remember… Sennosuke sang a song just like this one when we were waiting, but why did I only remember it now? You're on your own… You've lost your mind to the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim you crown. Wasn't it he that sang it as well? The song when we were heading to the cedar tree? Then…

No one's POV

Everyone finally made it to Zevil Island. In the order that the applicants were in, that's when they leave to get ready instead of Grace. She entered first since she's worth six point to everyone on the boat. She decided to change into her dress and hid her presence so no one would see, sense, smell, or even hear her. She left her badge in a purse so even if anyone found 'his' stuff, they will be empty handed. Nothing will be in it other than her clothing and hat.

She soon found an upside-down Gon 'sitting' on a tree branch. She snuck up behind his tree and 'sat' in front of him. "Hey Gon!" Shouted the vampire.

"Grace!" He shouted, smiling. "Why are you doing back in that dress? I thought you hated it."

She gave a smirk to show her brilliant plan that took action. She explained that not everyone knows that she is a she, so she got in the blouse and skirt she was in when they were traveling through the Numere Swamps, without the heel, mind you, and made sure no one is watching her. "So how do you like those apples?"

In short, Gon was really impressed by the idea. She also told him that she would like to get Killua with them as well. It would be a good idea, but then something got their senses rattled them up.

They looked at the patch of grass to see that there was a guy with a big nose with a sword in hand and another one with a bow and a bandaged hat. They looked carefully at the two of them, observing their every movements. "Pokkle…" She thought. She looked pitifully at him, knowing his future. It seems like the one with the bow is hunting the one with the sword. The one with the sword was getting very anxious and turned around to see no one.

Unable to see Pokkle, he sighed and went back to walking. On the other side, the archer hid his presence and prepared his bow. The two were looking at them with sweat on their faces. Though the vampire knows what's going to happen, it felt like an eternity to her. When the archer was sure about hitting his target, he let his presence known and let go of the string, letting the bow go. The guy sensed him, and dodged fully out of the way, only letting the arrow graze his shoulders.

"Hey," the one with the sword said in a cocky voice. It kind of annoyed the girl since he's the one who has his back at the corner, "that was close." Unknown to Gon and the other guy, Pokkle was actually smirking. "Sorry but it won't be that easy…" That's when he began to wobble, until he couldn't feel his arms and legs. "Wh-what?" and that's when Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall. "B-bastard."

"The arrow was coated with a fast acting tranquilizer. You won't be able to walk for the next week." He explained to the fallen man. He bent down and said to him… to reassure him? "Don't worry. There's water nearby. You won't die." He soon got grasp of his target's badge and spun it around like a basketball. "I'll be taking this. See ya."

"Interesting. What type of depressants did you used?" A new voice asked the archer. His brown eyes widen to find a girl in front of him. It shocked Gon too. He looked to his right and she's gone! Pokkle was about to ready his bow, but she got really close to him. "Hold it there mister!" She stopped him. He fell back and began to tremble, unable to know what type of threat is in front of him. "Listen Archer man… what's your name?"

"P-Pokkle." He stuttered. "What do you want?"

She gave an annoyed face and pouted. Though she did alarmed him, he has to admit that the vampire was really beautiful and cute. He couldn't help but blush at the sight of her. "I just want to know what type of depressants just use."

He looked at the girl, blushing like an idiot until he snapped out of it. "O-oh! It doesn't have a name, I just mixed some herbs together and used that to coat the arrow, see…" He gave the fair skin girl the arrow and allowed her to observe it.

She exam it carefully and prick her finger with it. "Oh! Now I see! If someone unlike an assassin would be wounded by this, you are sure to be down for at least a week! I never knew you were so good at these types of things by using herbs!"

Instead of blushing this time, he and the boy on the tree was surprised that she wasn't affected by the poisons. So he asked, "H-how come the tranquilizer didn't affected you? Is it possible you're an assassin too?" She shook her head. She whispered in his ears and his eyes widen. "R-really!? But how can a vampire like you can be unaffected by the sunlight?!"

She shrugged and laughed. "Sorry, don't know."

He sighed, but smiled. He doesn't know why, but she doesn't exactly have a hunting vibe around her… it's actually more like a friendly, calm, and lovely aura that just wants to make you be around. It's both addicting and intoxicating. She waved goodbye and vanished.

The next thing that Gon knew, she was next to him. "Yo." She whispered into his ears. He was taken back and then grinned like an idiot. "Missed me, want to kiss me?"

He laughed at that too and explained, "No. You were in front of me, but I would enjoy a kiss." He then kissed her cheek. He doesn't love her like a girlfriend love, but it was like a brother and sister relationship. She sometimes act like a big brother and a big sister to him, but that's what makes her special.

She giggled at the boy's antics and kiss his cheeks. "I'm going to find Killua now. See ya Gon."

"Bye Grace." With that, she's gone like a flash.
