Joker X Love X Queen
Chapter 10
The males of the group can't help but to feel confuse by Bisky's sudden tears in front of Scarlet who's equally teary in their meeting.
"W-what's going on?" Leorio ask comically, Melody smile and reply
"They both have a close relationship, their heart beat tells me that they been apart for a long time…and if my guess is correct I assume that the beautiful lady is Bisky-san's-"
"Bisky's student" Kurapika murmur finishing Melody's words
Then they turn their head back to the view and watch the master and student's mini reunion unfold
"I-I thought you we're …you were *sniff* …" Bisky crying holding on to Scarlet, Scarlet also hug back with a teary smile
"S-shishou *sniff* I can't understand the word you are saying and …how the hell did you look so young" the lady whine half laughing and crying
"I went to your family's lab…it was destroyed" Bisky exclaim ignoring Scarlet's words while finally pulling back from the hug to have a decent conversation
"It WAS!" Scarlet reply forgetting her two dangerous companion and acted normal in front of her master
"Netero said that it was ambush and no one survived, I went there myself to look at it, where were you?"
"I was THERE"
"AND what the hell happen, I was worried sick and I didn't know you survived?"
"I didn't"
"and where did you went all this ti- wait what?" Bisky pause her question when she realize that her question wasn't supposed to go further because of Scarlet's surprising reply
"What the hell do you mean you didn't survived?" Bisky exclaim shaking her student's shoulder frantically
Scarlet sheepish grin "Gomen…I was killed"
"What?!" this time, Bisky wasn't the only one who's asking, some of the boys and Melody also exclaim in shock
"WHAT!...what are you talking about, are you messing with me Scar, you're alive I can touch you" her sensei Shouted gripping Scarlet's shoulder tighter "I can touch you! You're not death, don't joke around with me like that"
"I'm not I'm not!" Scarlet respond shaking her head to show her sincerity "Ask him" comically pointed at HIsoka, who's standing cross arms with a knowing smile
"She's telling the truth" Hisoka said smoothly
Bisky range "Who the hell kill her!"
"He did" "I did" Both Scarlet and HIsoka reply simultaneously in their own tone
FROZE!- everyone seems to froze white staring at the two pair, not knowing what to say and how to react at that awkwardly odd words
Bisky eyes circling in confusion "B-but how…why? You…"
Scarlet gently put a hand on Bisky "Its okay, Shishou…I'll" she glance on Hisoka warily "I'll explain later" she said before pulling back and look her Shishou's group
"so…um, who are these? Shishou, are you trying to go inside Zombie Island again" Scarlet said in a disapproving tone
Bisky smirk proudly "Of course"
"Geez Shishou I thought I told you to give up that stone"
"Oh~ stop…its not for that reason anymore" Bisky replied in defense and pointed at Gon
"Gon, something to look for inside there" the young but older lady explain to Scarlet
Scarlet squinted her eyes at Gon "Isn't he too young and inexperienced to go to Zombie Is-"
"Don't underestimate us" Killua snap which earn Scarlet's attention, she put a hand on his head, Killua's eyes widen when she felt her hand…he's on full alert so no one would be able to do that to him without him backing away or swatting it before it even reach him, a nervous sweat slowly drip down Killua's forehead
'She's as strong as Bisky…or more' he warily thought but the dangerous feeling immediately surpass when he felt Scarlet's hand slightly ruffling his, he's a little taller than her but because of her heels she's the same size.
"You have sharp tongue, boy" she gave cheeky smile, surprising Killua how out of character it is on the first time they saw her walk in "But don't misinterpret, I'm not under estimating you- it just that" her eyes gave a serious look "you're too young to die"
All their attention snap to Scarlet
"if Shishou haven't mention this, then you ought to know…we all have to die first before we enter Zombie Island…that is after all…the requirement" she simply said and look over to Bisky
Bisky nodded "Yes….that is, the requirement, we're going to die for 24 hours….its about 3 days inside Zombie Island…then…we go back to life"
The gang was shock while Hisoka and Illumi were now busy playing cards in the waiting area uninterested in the conversation
"W-what! You mean literally, no no! wait how…oh boy, what if I don't wake up in 24 hours! I still need to be stinking rich" Leorio exclaim in panic
"don't worry Leorio, I'm sure….we can wake up, I mean Ging- Otou-san and Bisky survive…Then I'm sure we can" Gon said also with a nervous tone, then he remember Bisky words that Ging and Bisky almost died in that land. He got nervous for his friends
Killua notice this and look over to Gon "Gon, ….maybe we shouldn't do this after all"
Gon look over to Killua "B-but" He pause then look over to Melody and the others, he sigh "Yeah maybe shouldn't, I don't want Melody, Leorio and all my friends to experience death- its not worth it if you guys are going to experience something drastic like that…I-I don't want to be selfish" he finish we a sad smile
Hisoka look over to Gon in the corner of his eyes
Scarlet watching this also put a hand on Gon "Yosh!" she cheer making the them look over to her "ne, shishou" she called over Bisky "Are these two perhaps, your student"
Bisky smile proudly "Of course!, their your Kouhai"
Scarlet look over the two teenage boys with a playful analyzing eyes "Eeeh~…I'm Scarlet ….Nice to meet ya"
The two just look to her wide eye and with curiosity "Gon Freecs Osu~" …Killua scowl "Killua"
"and you guys are?" Scarlet ask the others
"I'm Leorio"
"Kurpika, Nice to meet you"
"and I'm Melody"
Scarlet smile brightly with a pleasing aura, relaxing the tense group "Yosh! Then…upon my honor as your senpai or not…Gon…Killua, Leorio, Kurapika and Melody…I won't let you guys permanently die inside" she said with a determine tone, the group look at her in wonder
But Killua squinted his eyes in suspicious, pushing her hands away "Why would you swear like that to a total stranger, kouhai or not" he still argue
But she just gave knowing grin and look over to Bisky who return the knowing look
"Don't worry much about it Killua- if there's anyone you can depend here, it's her" Bisky said in reassurance but Killua still growl beneath his breath and cross his arms
Scarlet laugh at this attitude and call over Illumi whose still playing cards with Hisoka "Oi! Illumi, is this guy somehow related to you"
Illumi simply wave his hands and said "That's my little brother"
"Figures…Zoldyck all have attitude problems" she laugh, both brothers slightly twitch at those comment
"I still don't get why you're helping us but- that's somehow reassuring" Leorio said to Scarlet who gave a smile
"I'm sure, Don't worry I'm a doctor…" she pull out a hand on Leorio who took it, she noted his hand and smile "And you too" she smile brightly "judging on how many books you read and your experience…you're shaping out to be a good one"
"Y-you…how did you"
Scarlet just shrug her shoulder and look over Gon "Rest assure Gon, I have your back"
Gon look at her eyes widen "S-scarlet-san-"
"Senpai" She corrected
Gon eye brighten "Scarlet-senpai" he perk "Arigatou (thank you)
Scarlet grin "No problem!...for some reason, I have a feeling, that you and I- have the same purpose " she whisper only loud enough for Gon to hear
Then before Gon could even ask what she mean-
He found her looking up to the moon, Bisky also look up along with Hisoka and the others, and they all followed their eyes and saw the large circular moon turn blue.
It's their first time seeing this and its amaze them-
"Hisoka! The ticket" Scarlet ordered, Hisoka simply rip two pieces and throw it to Scarlet
She one for her then handed the others to Bisky who distribute it to the others. They all followed Scarlet and Bisky's lead who enter the creepy run down train.
Once they are inside, they waited…and waited…. Until –
KA KRANG! – they heard the train mechanics start, mysteriously the door snap close- and it started moving
"W-what's going on" Melody murmur as she hold on to her ears "There's a sound of screaming death"
Alarmed they look over Melody, conscious by her phrase until the train moves faster, they all trust their feet to balance until Scarlet finally told them to brace themselves
"Hold on…and don't you dare let go" she said calmly looking over the younger boys and Melody
"Why?" Kurapika ask
Scarlet step aside so that they can see her view… open side stepping they saw in front is a cliff and beneath those cliff is a fire!
Leorio eyes widen "OI! You're not seriously thinking that we- " Scarlet just reply with smirk "Like I said…Hold on!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
