Within an hour You entered the stadium blinded by the lights. You chuckled to yourself, only two weeks away and you felt like a foreigner here. Or maybe it's the atmosphere that makes you feel displaced. No, you aren't referencing the audience, they're bloodthirsty as ever. Your eyes flit over the stands but you couldn't see the one you searched for. The hand of the referee stopped your absent-minded stride, on the other end Hisoka smiled at you. You couldn't help the small quirk of your lips. It's been centuries since you have felt the urge to kill without remorse, of course, a hypersexual murder clown had to be the one to rekindle that flame. Of f*cking course.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A MATCH WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. HISOKA THE UNDEFEATED VS. THE RISING QUEEN PHOENIX!" the announcer's voice echoed, "THIS MAY BE THE MATCH UP OF THE CENTURY!"

"At least they got her title right", Bian snorted.

The referee between them began to sweat the tension between the two becoming palpable, crushing even. As he explained the rules You unhooked your knuckle dusters, your eyes never leaving Hisoka who performed a series of tricks. His cards multiplied then disappeared.

"What is this?" Killua began to sweat a bit while Gon looked on enthused.

The clash of bloodlust grew as the referee came to the end of his explanation. "That's all", he stepped back quickly, "fight!"

You leapt back, your thoughts stopped at the sound of shattered concrete. Before you could plot a line crazed yellow eyes were a mere inch from your face. You tensed your abdomen for the knee that slammed into your stomach, further lifting you off the ground. "Huek?" you hadn't fully grasped the situation when his opposite leg slammed into your left cheek, rocking your skull. Reflexes took over, a nen boosted aerial flip landed with your nails digging into the concrete tile. Your mental settings recalibrating as you blinked in rapid succession. Even with you Ken you still felt like you got hit by a two-ton truck.

You fell on a knee. "Clean hit!" the referee announced, "one point to Hisoka!"

The announcer and crowd roared with tensions high. "She got hit?" Gon reflected the surprise of the group.

"Why are you holding back?" Hisoka posed with his hands on his hips as he gave you time to recover. "Don't hide that delicious power. Didn't you say I was dead man?" He watched you tremble a bit, fingers straining against the concrete. "Then again", his smile grew perverse and his yellow eyes glowed with enthusiasm, "I don't mind seeing you like this either."

Bam! Bam! Bam! You slapped your palm against the concrete silencing him and the stadium. You struggled with yourself. "Give me the reigns", Phoenix argued.

"Be quiet", You hissed back. The black in your sclera receding and your irises losing their glow.

"Can you continue?" the referee came over.

"I can", you growled as you rose to your feet swaying slightly. "Sucks to be you right now", You chuckled, "overseeing this match."
