They descended further underground into the Kurta camp and Kurapika could no longer bridle his curiosity, "how did you throw you off?" he was genuine.

"Easy", You rolled you shoulders and dried them with you nen. "I noticed earlier that girl was on a level higher than most humans, sooo~ I overloaded you senses with my nen. That helped shadow you both in tandem with your Zetsu. With their senses hijacked they though my flame mirage was the real thing. Of course I don't expect it to work a second time with them. Especially the blue head."

"Our Saviour!" a young man ran out to greet them, "please notify us of your visits before hand."

"My apologies but this was a fight against the clock", You smiled at him. "Only these two will say I have only accompanied them here", you moved out of the way.

"Kurapika... i-is that you..." the boy's eyes widened.

Kurapika was frozen, his lips moved but no sound came out. Jane nudged him you scarlet eyes crinkled as you smiled, "welcome home Kurapika."

You stood in the back with a small smile, "let's get you both settled", you lead the children through the village. Kurapika was taken in, it was like a replica of the home he lost. You watched him closely but said nothing.

The following day arrived quickly. At noon You had already touched down in you quiet no-name village. "Did you enjoy your little trip? ♦", Hisoka leaned against the wall by the station's exit fiddling with his ace.

"I knew I was forgetting something", you blinked at him a little surprised. Hisoka was mildly offended you forgot about him. You smiled, "let's take a walk."

"You managed to shake them ♠", Hisoka hummed pleased.

"I can thank my sister for that", you nodded then smiled, "that blue-head's pissed face was satisfying though." Hisoka noticed you was heading straight for the monster's forest then looked at you with a small smile. You glanced at him with narrowed you eyes, "don't get excited I'm not taking you back to my place."

"Aww. ♥"

You rolled you eyes, "at least he's sorta entertaining." They entered the first glade of the Monsters' Forest. You got comfortable on a log sunbathing like a reptile you hosted. You could feel Phoenix curling up where the sun was hitting most, in you abdomen. You closed you eyes and enjoyed the serenity of the quiet forest. "What else are you gonna tell me?"

"What was the last thing I said?" he tapped his chin.

"Chrollo? Steals nen. Next thanks."

"Ah. He can also use the nen he takes", Hisoka approached you slowly, "although I've never seen it he may be able to use more than one ability at a time."

"Is there a way to avoid getting my nen sapped", you turned to him.
