Joker X Love X Queen
Chapter 22
After Scarlet fix Kurapika wound and scratches, they finally went out their way to Killua and the others. Kurapika who's inspecting his body, checking his broken bones and fracture, look up to Scarlet, impress and he can't help but to voice out his positive opinion
"You're really good at using your nen to heal wounds" Kurapika said sincerely impress by Scarlet's talent, he can heal himself using Holy chain but he never thought of using it for others, plus he can only use holy chain when activate his red eyes and that always took a toll out of his body
"Wha- ahh~ yes, my nen was naturally awaken during my time as a doctor, call it prodigy or what…but my healing abilities came and awaken without me knowing…" Scarlet chuckle "Until my grandma pointed it out, that is" Scarlet grumble and snap her head to Hisoka
"will you stop that, Hisoka, you're creeping me out" Kurapika slightly sweat drop at that, it is true that Hisoka was glaring at him and staring intensely at Scarlet since they got of the forest
When they arrived on their destination where Bisky and the others should be waiting for them. All they saw is a trace of white feather and the glowing white Heaven's tree
"ooh~…shit" Kurapika look over to Scarlet who's now pale and in displeasure. "What's wrong" he ask
Scarlet pinch the bridge of her nose "They were taken"
"Gon?" Panic swelling into Kurapika's chest
"No…We haven't seen Gon, it was Bisky and the two Zoldyck"
Kurapika look at her disbelief "They couldn't be capture, they're-"
"Yes they're strong, they probably came with them without a fight"
"You're not making sense Scarlet-san" Scarlet gave shook her head "Doesn't matter, we have to figure out how to get up there" Pointing at the sky
"Up there?" Kurapika ask, Scarlet simply nodded and started looking around "Yes up there, we were planning to go up there in the beginning, we're suspecting Gon is there….but I guess Bisky and the others took the liberty to get a free ride" Kurapika got more confuse from Scarlet's reply
"Maybe I could do something to help" a voice said, Hisoka blink when they found Illumi walk out of the forest with a little bruise and scratches
Scarlet let out a snicker before laughing out at Zoldyck's "pffhh ahahaha They drop you out didn't they"
Illumi didn't reply and just keep his emotionless façade but Hisoka knows better to see a small scowl, the clown chuckle at his old friend
"You should have expected that….you don't have a hint of kindness in you Zoldyck" Scarlet said still grinning at Illumi standing tall in front him
"Kil shouldn't be up there" Illumi simply said
"Killua is kind enough to be taken, even if he's an assassin, he's different from you…you should know that since you did bother manipulating him for a long time since he is 'different" Scarlet taunted
Illumi ignore Scarlet and put a two finger in his mouth and let out a whistle, the ground shaken. Kurapika hold out himself before a large beast came out, a three headed beast
"You got to be fucking kidding me" Kurapika can't help but to agree to Scarlet's words, staring at 30 feet tall beast
Hisoka raise an eyebrow while Scarlet scowl at Illumi "What's with you Zoldyck, adopting beast from Zombie Island, I heard from Bisky your great great great grandfather took out a large dog and name it Mikey"
Illumi gave a rare cold smile and shrug his shoulder, Kurapika step back from the growling beast
"W-wait a minute, so that big dog Mikey guarding in your gate Illumi san is from here….If I remember correctly, Mikey isn't really obedient from others" Kurapika said warily
"Except from a strong master" Illumi pull out his pin "Or a master of manipulation"
Scarlet smirk approving Illumi's tactic "such a smart guy, let's go then"
"I still don't get it, what's up there that got Killua and possibly Gon" Kurapika ask while climbing up to the 3 headed beast Cerberus, Scarlet held out her hand and help him up "and who took them?"
Scarlet smile "Angels"
Kurapika pause as he sat on the back of the beast "I beg your pardon"
Scarlet giggle "You heard me right Kurapika, a pack of goodie goodie old two shoes with wings, or in other words angels" she look down onto Hisoka and Illumi who petted the beast for a while before jumping elegantly in the back with them
"You better hold on tight Kurapika" Scarlet warn, Illumi signal the beast to jump. The gravity fight over them, the wind of pressure blew through their faces, Kurapika hold on tight to the beast fur and realize that movement were just an anticipation to prepare for the jump….SWOOOOSHSHHHHH
The Cerberus let out strong roar and leap out through the air, leaving an impact of destruction to the forest, the air pressure was too strong and Kurapika was left clutching on the fur of the beast as his dear life until-
They arrived in the dark sky way pass the cloud, someone grab the back of his collar and tug him out of the beast and landed in a soft cotton floor. "Uarrrghhhhhhh" The Ceberus fall through the clouds, rejecting the dark beast from underworld but it had finish it task reaching the top of an artificial heavens and leaving the humans in the clouds
"Didn't think he was able to reach it, good fluffy" Scarlet commented as she stood up to the misty soft clouds
"Don't give him that nickname, I'm planning to grab him back to our mansion later" Illumi said as if that was his errand
"Like the name Mikey is any different" Scarlet murmur and help Kurapika up which he took with a polite smile.
"Gosh you have no idea how glad I am that you're here, I'll be miserable if I'm stuck with those two" Scarlet said smiling at Kurapika "I call for a buddy system, Hisoka and Illumi should look over there and we'll look over here" Pointing at the right "you won't be able to sense angels, they don't have nen since…they are already dead…but they do have a power called Holy Spirit, try not to get killed" Scarlet lead and was about to turn and leave the two when
Scarlet groan "I don't think we needed to split up, Scarlet…"Kurapika said warily looking around as they found themselves surrounded "they already found us"
"I hate it when they do that"
"oomph" "Ugh" They arrived on the center of the endless cloud, Scarlet had doubted if it was really the center or not because they all look the same to her, but when a golden gate open out of nowhere, the scenario change.
The place was now a peaceful green field, full of wonders of spring and angels dress like a roman empire. Scarlet didn't had a chance to ogle at the paradise when their chains were tug like a prisoner and lead them in a bridge where there is a white gazebo, a perfect place for a cup of tea and not for an execution of vile human who dare trespass the artificial gate of Eden
"…Then me, Kurapika and Leorio went running to Killua's mansion to rescue him from his- ah!" Scarlet smile when she saw a familiar chocolate brown eyes "Kurapika!...Scarlet, H-Hisoka? And Killua Niisan" Gon wave at where he is sitting
He's with Killua and Bisky having a cup of tea with a woman who has a long magenta hair, her back is facing them so they didn't saw her face until she turn her head to their direction.
Scarlet who's still chain and hold by the angel soldiers pause in disbelief, different emotion ran through her mind until she finally settle to one…. She gave a small bright smile-
"What did you know?~ …. you're here after all…." The magenta hair woman hold on to her mouth in surprise, tears swell up in her eyes when she saw Scarlet, Scarlet smile and finish her sentence which she haven't spoke for years "Onee- sama"
"ONeee-sama!?" Killua and Gon exclaim in surprise, standing up from their sit
"B-but, s-she's…she's my…she's my mother" Gon said eyes shining with happiness
"Yes she is…can't you see the likeness?" Scarlet said as Gon's mother simply walk beside Scarlet, Scarlet pull down her glasses and smile with Gon's mother
And true it is, Scarlet older sister Magenta smile in the same time and the likeness became obvious to everyone. The fiery colored hair, Magenta has pinkish while Scarlet has dark red , they have the same skin color which are pale white, same piercing red eyes, only Magenta's is lighter. The only uniqueness the sister have are their posture and body. Obviously Scarlet is more bless with womanly feature but Magenta had the elegance.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Gon ask, Killua snickered from behind "She just figure it out few hours ago" Killua answer it for her. Scarlet gave a guilty expression
Magenta open her arms and face her sister "Baby Sister I'm so happy to see y-" she pause, her red eyes drifted down to the chain clasp in her sister's wrist "Why is there a chain on my baby sister's wrist?"
Everyone pause aside from Scarlet (who's fully aware of her Sister's temper, it does run in the family after all), chills ran down to their spine when Magenta's soft sweet voice turn cold as ice in a mere second
"My Lady…We're sorry we didn't know that she's your sister- we saw her with the dark hair and the magician….they both have demonic aura so we immediately capture the threat before-"
"DAMN IT!" The sweet gentle mother Gon saw just few minutes ago erupted in range and disappear, everyone took a step back surprise on the sudden change of persona "AM I ASKING FOR AN EXPLANATION! RELEASE MY SISTER OR I SWEAR…. YOU GOD FOR SAKEN BIRDS, I'LL FU-"
Scarlet cover her big sister's mouth before she could even tainted her large angelic wings from her harmless cursing, laughing sheepishly at the stun.
"ohhh~ kay, Onee-sama calm down…I'm fine" Scarlet gave force laugh and hurriedly gesture the stun arch angel to release her, this snap out the soldiers and immediately obliged
"W-were so sorry Magenta-sama" The soldiers bow their head in shame and fear, Magenta finally calm down and realize what she done
"oohh~ my…I'm so sorry" everyone animatedly sweat drop, Magenta seems to turn back to normal and is now sweet and gentle as she is. As if they are two her
"U-uh what's going on?" Killua deliberately ask Scarlet who's sighing in the background as they watch Magenta repeatedly apologies to her guard with an innocent tears shedding in her eyes
"uhh~ well….it runs in the family actually…"Scarlet honestly admitted with a blush "Our family is known in the hospital for our temper, comes from my mom actually. As you can see my temper is always present while my big sis is just there, waiting to be release" Scarlet chuckle on Gon's dumbfounded face
"It doesn't suite her actually….She's always been sweet and gentle, but believe it or not, the very first time Gin receive the wrath of my sister's ranging personality and punch him in the face….was the very first time your dad fell in love" Scarlet snickered "and it was punch"
Gon grin "I'll love to hear more and I can't believe you're my Aunt, I really have knock of having the coolest aunt ever, first it Mito-san and you Scarlet-san"
"Awww~ Its nice to know that you're my nephew too Gon" Scarlet exclaim and give the teenager a bear hug
"And I'll be your Uncle Gon, can I have a hug" chill shiver into their spine on Hisoka's words from behind, Scarlet immediately shove him out
"You're not part of the family get lost"
"My~My~"
