Chapter 7:Hit X The X Target

Hisoka p.o.v
I was well doing nothing for the moment since I didn't know who my target was but I didn't care as I was currently sitting down and leaning against a tree 'I wonder what my little angel is doing ~' I thought referring to Tomoe when I suddenly heard screaming coming from somewhere 'Oh? I wonder who could that be?' I thought as my walkie talkie rang and I take it out of my pocket "Yes ~" I ask "Are you torturing someone?" Illumi voice said from the device "Unfortunately it wasn't me this time ~But I do have a idea who might that be ~" I said "It's Tomoe isn't?" Illumi ask "How do you know?" I ask him "Who else around here is strong besides the two of us?" Illumi ask "Oh" I reply "Well I will go find him later. His either feeling stress or need to get something off his mind if he is torturing someone." Illumi said  "What do you mean?" I ask "He normally dislike getting his clothes dirty." Illumi reply "Is that so?" I said "Also if you are under whatever circumstances never ever mention the word god. He despise that word." Illumi said "Unless you want to get mock or kill don't ever mention that word." Illumi added "Well I have to go now so bye." Illumi said "Bye" I reply and place the device back in my pocket 'So he despise the existence of god huh?' I thought 'Why though?' I thought with a frown.

I been like torturing him for some times now, I don't know I always lost track of time when I torture someone. The guy who was still bond by my chains have stop moving so I assumed he was already dead so I let go of his corpse letting it hit the ground with a loud thud 'Well at least I didn't get any blood on me' I thought making sure I didn't have any blood on me 'Guess I should find Hisoka or Illumi' I thought grabbing the tag off the corpse I kill, #89 'what a coincidence' I thought and place it in my sleeves. I sense Hisoka nearby so I head into his direction with a knife in hand that have the guy eyeball stab with it as I twirl the knife in my hand. 'I know they wouldn't be proud of me of what I have became but I'm living to find the correct person to kill me, that is my only desire to live but if I have to be kill eventually then why not observe this world a bit more and see how the story ended? Human are interesting yet boring creatures. 'I thought amusingly as I finally saw the magician sitting down and leaning against a tree. "Yo" Hisoka greeted me once he see me and I just wave at him "Was that you just now?" Hisoka ask probably referring to the scream he heard "Maybe" I reply as I sit down japanese style once I was near him  "Is that your hobby?" Hisoka ask referring to the knife with the eyeball in my left hand "Oh no I was just curious what does a eye look like when it was remove" I said with my usual fake smile "Do you get your target?" Hisoka ask "Coincidentally he was my target." I said "So what are you going to do once you pass the exam?" Hisoka ask "I don't know. Go to Heaven Arena or something." I said "What a coincidence I was planning on going there once the exam ended as well" Hisoka said as I notice someone spying on us at a bush 'Isn't that Gon? I thought he doesn't know what Nen is so how could he used Zetsu? Or does he learn it when he was living in the wood? This kid....is interesting....'I thought amusingly 'Hisoka doesn't seem to notice him....yet. I wonder how long it will take for him to notice.' I thought. I noticed some Hemotropic Butterfly or known as blood-sucking butterfly around Hisoka shoulder. I let one land on my finger and we sat in silence waiting for time to pass.

Your p.o.v
We sat in silence until the sun is almost down illuminating the island in a bright red colour. At some point I have already threw away the eyeball and place my knife where it belongs and right now I was reading since I have nothing to do "You can come out now. I know you're there. " Hisoka suddenly said 'Did he notice the brat? No he noticed someone else.' I thought "If you don't come out, I'll come to you." Hisoka stand up walking where Gon and the other guy is hiding 'Well then ~What do you do?' I thought amusingly and Hisoka stop walking and a guy stand up from the bush. 'Isn't he one of the guy who went and help Gon at the boat?' I thought as the guy swung his spear cutting the bush beside him  "I challenge you to a duel." the guy said clutching his spear "You'll die." Hisoka reply. The worrior looking guy silently walk forward and stop as he get into a fighting stance, he let out a battle cry and charge towards Hisoka with his spear and try to slash Hisoka with it but Hisoka easily dodge his attack 'His movements is a bit sluggish. Well that's to be expected....his about to die.' I thought as the mustache guy continues to swung his spear at Hisoka but misses every time as Hisoka dodge his attack easily. This continues with him swinging his spear at Hisoka while Hisoka dodge and backing up more and more, the guy let out another battle cry and swung his spear again and Hisoka jump away and the mustache guy cut the tree instead as I dodge his attack as well.'Can I just read in peace?' I thought' as the tree fall down with a thud and the mustache guy stand there clutching his spear panting "Hisoka explained yourself! Why aren't you attacking me!?" mustache guy yell at him 'You basically force someone to fight you against their will....'I thought  "I'll continued to avoid your attack, you'll die eventually" Hisoka said to him making him gasp in surprise as Hemotropic Butterfly started surround his back 'Fuck his blood is making me want to eat his flesh... No I can't I spent 17 years without consuming a human... I won't consume one now... I won't consume something as disgusting and dirty as human... Their flesh is just like them...rotten and dirty' I thought to myself "I can tell from the swarm of Hemotropic Butterflies that your wounds are grave." Hisoka said as mustache guy knelt down panting even more "Someone else has already dealt you a fatal blow yes? Though I do understand your desire to die in battle." Hisoka said to him "If you... If you understand so well... Why do you still refuse to fight me?!" he yell  desperately or to me it just look pathetic "I have no interest in the dead." Hisoka stated simply and began walking away "What? I'm not yet..."   "You're already dead. It's in your eyes"  Hisoka cut off what mustache guy is saying as Hisoka turn around at look at him with a face of disinterest and continue to walk away sitting down on the cut off log "Bye-bye" Hisoka said to him as the guy forcefully stand up using his spear and let out a battle cry and charge at Hisoka. He charge but didn't get any further as a pins got jab in his throat and then multiple pins got stab in his face and the mustache guy felt backwards with a thud,dead. "Sorry sorry, I carelessly let him escape." Illumi voice said holding pins in his hand 'Yeah right I believe you' I thought sarcastically and stand up patting off the leaves that gather in my hair when mustache guy cut down the tree "Liar. He probably begged you to grant him one final wish yes?" Hisoka said to him as I walk over to them "Well I felt sorry for that guy" Illumi said walking up as well 'Like you could feel emotion' I thought "Given that he was dead either way. You should cease pitying enemies who serve no purpose." Hisoka said "You've done it before haven't you? You've walked away from opponents before finishing them." Illumi said to him "I have standards. I'm not interested in people who have no purpose. I only spare those whose death would go to waste." Hisoka said "That is going to get you kill one day." I said to him "Are you worried about me? I feel so honoured ~What about you then? How do you dealt with your opponents?" Hisoka said "Kill them. Potential or not it doesn't matter to me." I reply "Or more like you just find those who are out for revenge against us annoying.Do you have six points already? " Illumi said "Yes. But what the point of revenge to begins with? If will not bring back the dead. Just pathetically trap in their own anger that they couldn't dealt with." I said "Aren't you the same? You want to destroy the organisation who murder you family." Hisoka said "Unlike those who do it out of hatred I be enjoying every second of it." I said "Anyway what about his tag?" I said to Illumi even though I already knows the answer "Oh, I already took it. I have six points now so I don't need this one. You can have it." Illumi said and throw the spare tag to Hisoka which he easily caught it and flip the tag around reveling number #80 "Whose tag is this?" Hisoka ask "It belonged to some guy who try to snipe Tomoe when he was busy torturing the poor man. I got annoyed so I killed him." Illumi said "Wait someone was trying to snipe me?" I ask cause I really didn't notice him "Maybe if you pay more attention to your surroundings instead of focusing on torturing him you would have noticed. Are your sense getting rusty? You need more training if you couldn't notice someone if that the case" Illumi said giving me a unimpressed stare with his disguise "That and you still couldn't beat me when we are sparing. And can you take your disguise off? It's disgusting to look at." I said to him with a amuse smile not that they would know I was amuse and Illumi glare at me before removing his pins one by one as his face started morphing  "This is always so fascinating to watch." Hisoka said "This is hard on me" Illumi said as his purple mohawk hair turn to long jet black hair and his eyes turn to large back pupil-less eyes and white porcelain skin.  "I feel much better." Illumi said "Yeah you definitely look much better like this." I said to Illumi "Are you being sarcastic or what?" Illumi ask with a deadpan tone "I'm just saying you look cute like this. Learn to trust people will you?" I said casually rolling my eyes at him. He was silence oddly enough so I glance at his direction and seeing him blushing? "What?" I ask him after a minute of silence "N-nothing" Illumi quickly reply "Why are you even blushing for? Are you perhaps you are embarrassed that I call you cute? Wow I didn't think you are capable of feeling emotion." I said amusingly with a my usual fake smile cause truly this is amusing to me. I never thought Illumi of all people are capable of feeling emotion "Shut up! I'm going to sleep."Illumi said going to a spot kneeling down and started digging the ground "Your no fun" I said to him still amuse as he dug the hole big enough for him and went inside it "I'm going to sleep here until the exam is over." Illumi said and went in close the hole with dirt making him look like his dead  "You two sure are amusing to interact with." Hisoka said "Too bad he suck at social interactions" I said "So the both of you fight from time to time?" Hisoka ask referring to the conversation we have earlier "We spar whenever I head back to Kukuroo Mountains. I could still beat him even without using that." I said. I didn't mention about Nen cause Gon was still here and he definitely didn't know what that is "But he have a point. I should have noticed someone was trying to kill me at that time. Guess I should take on more stealth mission for training and I really should cut this habit of mine. I always waste time when I'm torturing someone." I said "Well what are you going to do now?" Hisoka ask "May as well sleep I suppose. Not like I have anything else to do." I said and the other reason is that I'm exhausted since I haven't slept for how know longs. I sit down and lean against a tree and close my eyes as I let sleep take over but I still keep my En up just in case.

Hisoka p.o.v
I watch as Tomoe close his eyes and I assume he was asleep but I still managed to sense he was using En as well as he was sleeping. 'Now that I think about it why did he approach me in the first place? What his Nen type is? He use paper and fan earlier......a Manipulater? Or a Transmuter? It's hard to tell what he was thinking and yet he is able to read other so easily.... He doesn't seem like the type to be with other people and he look like he prefer to be alone.... A Specialist then? What is even going on in his head? What is he even thinking?'I thought before deciding to give up on thinking about those and stood up and began walking away to find prey to hunts.
