Kyriak looked at the hooded prisoner. The hooded prisoner looked back pointing at her for her place on illumi shoulders. "you" kyriak tilted her head pointing at herself. "Me?" she questioned.
"You to the centre" the hooded prisoner pointed to the area before them.
She paused from a moment, before jumping off the elders' shoulders. She was unsure of the challenge ahead – but was confident in her abilities. Very confident she could take the hooded figures out. They didn't have the same presence as Gittarackur nor the same feeling she got from her father or Hisoka (that was a good sign for her). But she couldn't really see the man's features who know he could be hiding his true colours.
"you're going first. We are here to kill one of you to prevent too from getting to the bottom the tower which is just behind that doorway. Unless you forfeit before the killing blow" the hooded figure pointed to the doorway hidden in shadows.
"soooo..." kyriak looked from the doorway to the hooded figure pointing at him. "I just have to win against you?"
"Then your partner can go"
"Then why don't way play a little game!" kyriak grinned cheekily, sliver hues glittering with glee.
"This isn't something you can work yourself out of"
"Hmm, but we could play tag! If catch me in the time limit you win and we can't proceed. And if I win, you..." she paused putting a finger to her check in thought she concluded with a nod. "You lose something!"
"y-you want to play tag?" the hooded man stuttered out in surprise.
It seemed to be an easy win for the prisoners. A game of tag against a child? Adult vs child? Who would say no?
"You got yourself a deal!" a loud voice growled out from behind the first hooded figure. The large male pushed himself forward. "Little girl, you better surrender! I'm wanted in over ten countries for murder, chasing down my victims one by one you won't be beaten by me. You!" he pointed towards a disguised illumi "Time it, five minutes that all I need"
Gittarackur looked between the smiling kyriak and the serial killer before nodding slowly, he could always intervene if needed – the prisoners never said otherwise.
"It begins now!" the larger man yelled jumping towards the girl. Kyriak let out a wicked grin, before jumping landed on the shoulder lunging shoulder before flipping over. "You gonna be faster than that old man!" she giggled pointing towards the growling figure. "You really don't want to lost our little game of life and death!" she sent him a closed eye smile.
"Your life's on the line mister! Didn't you realise?"
"What? Only you shall die!" the criminal yelled running arms out in an attempt to catch her.
"Oh yeah!" she muttered, "I didn't tell you what you what you will be losing, did I?" she question innocently tilted her head as once again she jumped out of the way.
"Huh!?" the man floundered for a moment. What would he lose? Surely the child couldn't make him lose anything officially, she was just a child?
"it's was your head of course!" she giggled saying it as if it was the most simplest thing in the world, lifting her foot up slamming it down on the man's hand – making him drop to the door from the momentum.
The five-minute timer just went off.
His eyes widen in horror as he realised his predicament. Only to watch at the life flickering before his eyes ending with the angel like child with the grin of the devil. Kyriak not knowing what was going through the man's head reached into her large flowing selves. Activating her Nen in the process.
Her abilities were a bit special. She could store her own hand made weapons anywhere on her person in a form of a tattoo that where appear and disappear at will. As long as there was space on her body form the indivisible tattoo, she could hold the item. Currently she had little over a quarter of her body covered in these Nen tattoos. The more she made and the stronger she got meant more weapons and items she could store and use.
By dipping her hand into her long kimono sleeves she hid the Nen tattoos for a little longer. It wasn't that she didn't trust her current partner, it was than she wanted to keep that fact under wraps for a little longer.
She putting a hand on her left forearm a tattoo appeared the black ink coming to life as she drew away. For the other it appeared as if she pulled the object from her sleeve that continued to grow. The large black and red tinted battle-axe seemly springing to life on her grip.
The man before her shook as she shifted,
"Like the red queen said! Off with your head!" she grinned before swinging the axe with both hand knocking the man's head clean off.
Ignoring the blood slatter she grinned turning to her partner, holding out a peace sign in one hold while the other rest the battle axe on her shoulder. "See sorted! You didn't need to get involved!" gittarackur hummed, shifted his stance hiding the golden needles he had prepped.
"Anyone else wanna play a game?" she questioned to the remaining hooded prisoners. Obviously to the blood slatter that dripped on her check, adding to the crazy demon look considering she was wielding the battle-axe that looked giant compare to her smaller form.
They all said no without hesitation.
Kyriak hugged the large two time her size battle-axe in the corner growing mushroom, upset that no one else wanted to play as gittarackur/illumi completed his turn which ended in with just a moment of flying pins.
The disguised illumi stood over the sulking child. His tilted in slight confusion as he took in the site of the child and the mushroom that had suddenly appeared. How he didn't know. He was both glad and annoyed that one of those close to killua was strong – it just might make his job of bringing him home all the harder.
He would have to find out more, maybe with a bit of manipulations she could be a benefit it the family. If not, she could be taken care of.
He presented her with one of his Nen needles, holding it out before face distracting her out of her sour thoughts. She blinked staring at the needles, standing (though it didn't make much of a difference) she took the needle swirling it round in her hand. Examining it with a critically eye she had developed over the years of training and making different things.
It was a beautiful piece, expertly made with... yes with Nen infused into it. For what she couldn't be certain of.
With a bit of Nen and a shifting of fabric the battle-axe touched her bare skin and vanished back into the tattoo with stood out on her skin for a moment before slowly fading away. Gittarackur taking that as a sign picked up the child placing her on his shoulders, heading towards the doorway towards the end point of the exam.
Every now and then he should check on the usually silent child – the girl completely enthralled with his pin. Going over all and every possible on the tiny thing often going onto a completely wild waffle of other useless and useful things.
Golden hues blink it curious surprise at the sight that was blessed his eyes.
A smiling kyriak riding on the shoulders of a stoic disguised illumi. It was a sight to see and the image who be forever burned into his mind as a smirk appeared on his face. An interesting sight indeed.
"Fancy a game?" the joker asked the pair seeing as the three of them were the only ones in the room. The group ignoring the spokesman tell them their times.
Kyriak blinked zoning back in to the world at large. "a game?"
"Yup," the golden deadly trickster nodded the smirk changing into a smile though his eyes spoke danger.
Kyriak eyed the cards in the man's hand, hair swinging as she tilted her head. She never played with cards before, maybe it will be fun? She'd seen other played with cards often betting but she was never allowed to play.
Gittarackur grunted moving beside the other redhead – lifting the girl who rag dolled at the sudden movement. The male placed the child on the floor before sitting opposite magician, kyriak glancing between them.
"i never play before" she admitted looking at the cards in her hand.
"All the more fun" chuckled Hisoka, finding the vermillion-coloured red head amusing.
"What happens if we lose?"
There was a grunt of a gittarackur, "nothing?" kyriak frowned, "and if we win?"
"Nothing at the moment, though maybe if you learn we can make it more interest~" purred Hisoka a malicious smile growing on his face, that twitch growing bigger for a moment catching the looking illumi had sent him.
