Wings and Webs: Journey

Hisoka -Higiroshi- 16

     From a single drop of blood, the most exquisite scythe I've ever seen materializes before my eyes.
     *However that is not a form of conjuring I have seen before♤~.*
      It has a soild, smooth, scaled black handle with curved blades protruding from both sides of the top. One slender and sliver, appearing more decorative but the other blade is a different story.
     It is long and curved, onix black with a glint of ruby red. There is a black substance dripping from the hooked tip, blood is my guess. I could feel the killing intent emitting from it.
      "I see ♧~", whispering to myself.
     The sheer ominous feeling engulfing me sends a shutter down my spine. That blade is alive, it is its' own entity.
     *Higiroshi,very interesting♡~.*
      A chain hangs from the top, trailing down the handle. The jagged links crying out, swaying to and fro, as if looking for a target. It stands as tall as her rounding off just over 5 feet. She stokes it lovingly, affectionately. I can see a wave wash over my flower as she is gazing upon it. Completely enthralled with it.
      "Isn't it he handsome!! My Higiroshi." Yukinaru speaks with a chilly expression new to me.
      Without a moment of hesitation, I feel pressure rapidly building, and the sound of giggles filling the empty arena.
      "He likes you Hisoka, he so wishes to taste your blood." She licks the blade while staring at me, I can feel the desire.
    *Is it her's or the blade's? ◇~ Who ever it is, yearns for a fight.*
      "It has been so long since he has tasted the sweet liquid of living things."  
      Her eyes are rapidly changing to a violent storm surge. A sinister smile erupting on her face. I take a step back. Our bloodlust mixing as my excitement grows ♤~.
      "Remember dear flower ◇~ you said if we were to spar we would ma-."
       "Oh your /flower/ isn't here right now. You were warned. I am Yukinaru Zarin, a born killer and a natural assian. Drawing my blade sheds the mask of just a young girl you are too familiar with."
       She takes a step forward pulling her blade in. "You wanted to fight, then let us begin." She cries out as she lunges toward me.
      Swinging the scythe flawless and seemless toward my neck. Quickly jumping, I nimbly avoid it but not the draw back. She quickly flicks the scythe around and catches my arm with the silver blade.
      "Oooo how lovely. ◇~" I lick my own blood watching her. "Is this the true Yukinaru then ♡~? The small glimpses you blesses me with? The random sadistic presence that's always lumming over you ♧~?"
       "I always wear a mask Hisoka. The random glimpses you see, is just a change of the mask. Brief exposures." She coos at me, licking my blood from her blade, "Hmmm next time I'll get you deeper."
       "Mhmmm ♡~ Regardless, you are still my flower, revealing secrets. ♤~" I ready myself, not knowing whats gonna happen is the height of excitement.
      "No, no Hisoka. Not a serect." She darts forward and side steps to my right slashing at my side once more.
       Another failed dodge, as blood starts to ooze from a new slice. "Keep cutting me Yuki and I'll start to return the kindness ♤~."
     *My beautiful flower, slice me, cut me make me bleed ♡~ Oh how I love this feeling! Such ecstasy!*
      My bloodlust thickening with each passing moment. I feel hers increasing rapidly as she takes me in her sights. I should take this alittle more seriously I suppose.
      "Come flower, let's dance more ♡~." I motion for her to come at me, placing my bungee gum accordingly.
      A ripple runs through her and I see fangs pointing from her mouth, I brace myself knowing she is about to lunge once more.
      "Hisoka." She moans my name as she darts sideways. "My pet jester, who is all full of jokes and giggles" she is trying to fiddle my brain with such sweet words.
      "You wanted to see me fight, ready yourself then." She coos softly at me.
       "Taunt me more ♡~." This impending dread is refreshing but still not strong enough.
       She stares off to my side momentarily pausing. A growl slips from her as I watch her scythe tremble. With a fresh burst of speed, she is in front of me, Higiroshi planted around my body and her fangs digging in to my chest. Just as sudden she retracts, jumping back a good 10 feet. I look to see Illumi standing between us.
     "That is enough Hisoka. You've had your fun. Don't push your luck." Illumi states coldly.
      "Why interfere ♤~?" I question him coldly.
       He looks to my neck, "She was about to kill you Hisoka. Even without nen she is deadly." Illumi points to my neck, "Did you even feel that?" making me reach up.
       I pull my hand and see blood, "Well my my, when did she do that? ♧~"
      A sinister burst of bloodlust erupts, taking our attention towards the source, "Oh Illumi, don't you know better then to interfere when things were just getting good? I wasn't gonna kill him." Such sweet wickedness lacing her tone.
       Illumi bows his head, addressing her warily formal, "Had I not stepped in you were gonna lose control Lady Yuki."
     *Hmm Illumi is on edge, it must be so then.*
      I truly focus on my flower, seeing her killing intent firm and her aura bubbling. She is different then what I have come to know of her.
      "Fine. Whatever maybe I might have," she licks her lips. "It's not my fault he is too willing to die all the time." She comes to my side instantly.
      She leans down and begins to slowly lick my blood as it drips down my neck, "He wants to die by my hand anyway, isn't that right my pet?" She leans in even closer and bites me once more.
      "Drinking from me again little flower?♡~" I coo at her.
      "Hisoka, I can taste your desire building, am I exciting you?" She nips at me ear before returning my exposed nape.
      Illumi walks over and goes to move her from me. As his hand reaches to touch the feeding flower, I feel an uptake in killing intent. Just before he could touch her, I turn us away swiftly and spoke.
      "No dear Yuki, I don't want such a simple death ♡~." Waving off the sour mood and tossing a glance at Illumi.
       She may become too much for him to even handle right now if she is pushed to much more. Illumi would no doubt do more harm then good.
      "I suppose your combat skills will suffice through the first fight lined up even without Gyo." I sigh, snaking out of her arms.
      "Fine but Illumi if you interrupt another one of my play dates, it'll be your blood I taste next." a final threat as she slowly takes on her normal facade and Higiroshi fades.
      "It's time to call it day, I'm hungry." She is so demanding♡~.
      "Very well then. But torrow-" Illumi goes to speak but is interrupted.
      "Tomorrow is tomorrow." She speaks sharply I cast a glance at Illumi still lurking close, understanding.
      *Till later then ♡~*.
      It doesn't take us long to get back to the tower and we enter the elevator heading for my private floor. They didn't have much of a choice in giving me one again, I am hard to argue with when I truly want something.
      "We are alone now my flower ♡~. This whole floor belongs to me, there are no others. Took me along time to get back into this place. I was banned for awhile after a mishap." I escort Yuki off the elevator and down a long hall with a faint blue hue.
      "I'm so tired, are we almost there yet? I don't care about your silly mishaps." She groans trudging along behind me, "Jester I have a question, how do your wounds disappear so quickly?" She inspects my neck, seeing no trace she ever sliced me.
       I watch from the corner of my eye as she raises her hand and shift fingers to razor edge talons. "They seem to be functioning."
      "You should very well know appearances can be deceiving◇~." I look down at her finally, "Here we are, this is where we will be staying while you fight in the arena."
      "Tell me. How." She demands as she walks over and takes a seat on the couch.
      "If you answer my questions I will answer yours, fair enough?♧~" I coos back at her.
      "Alright then. I'll answer as best as I can though. No promises." Yuki sighs deeply as she settles comfortably.
      "Fair enough." I take a step forward, she watches intently as I move a chair towards her, "May I start then?"
      Her eyes tell me she knows what I am up too. A glare daring me to be so bold. I smile broadly waiting for her response.
      "I am curious as to how you want to start this, so proceed. This is no different then getting to know clients right.." Yuki nearly falters but I feel her sudden change in attitude I never truly noticed before.
      I always just focus on her power. I never really paid much heed to anything else. "Well then I have my first question, why do you hide so much?"
      *It's so fresh now, might as well get it out the way ♤~.*
      "Well that is very direct of you. The same thing could be said about you. We all have parts of ourselves that is ours alone. Not even my own clan really know me either. Does this answer suffice?" She rolls her eyes at me with expectancy.
      "That is just rewording my question dear." I move to the couch pulling her onto my lap, "Maybe this will help change to a more relaxed state yes ◇~?"
She stays silent but does lean back, resting her head on my chest with her eyes on the ceiling.
     "Perhaps. Let's try again then. I suppose you could say it is because that is all I really know, it is always expected of me, that and ya know basic things."   She closes her eyes and takes a breath, "My turn now." She sits up and faces me now, her aura starting to swell.
      "Go on" I urge.
      "How are you uninjured? I know my blood would have effects but such speedy regeneration has never been seen in the others." She leans in close to my neck, trailing her fingers along where the slice is.
      "Oh, I feel it! It is there, yes??" She looks up, curiosity bright in her eyes.
      "This is one use of my ability, texture surprise. It is usually flawless." I slowly remove the skin paper nen from my neck, showing her the damage. "I use my bungee gum to attach it to where I need."
      She stands up immediately and glares down at me, "You are still injured? Strip all that stuff off you right now."
      "So crass once more are we ♡~?" I do comply though and begin removing bits here and there.
      "Rid yourself of those thoughts and let me tend to the injuries. It is my responsibility as you are my pet." A harsh tone but kind words ♡~. She puts her hand on my shoulder and pushes me on the floor.
       "My uncle gave me our healing paste. It'll work wonders, uncle even said it grew parts of his body back. It may sting a bit.."
      "It's my turn, answer while you tend. Our fight, was that your true personality?" I must know this answer.
       Regardless she will still be my flower, but the sudden breathe tells me I am on the right track.
      "I'll answer in a way you will understand. When I am in a fight with Higiroshi, he has a way of blending ourselves together when he comes out." I sit silently, feeling her fingers trail over even faded scars.
        "Basically even when I am myself, I'm still not myself. Everything is.. blurry." Yuki huff's up and I can feel a wave coming down, "You ask why I hide and it's because I don't even know myself!....Please don't speak. That was more then I ment to say." She puts her hand to my mouth, "I tire of this game already. I wish to sleep, I'm not even hungry anymore."
       "Yuki, you know I'm still naked and covered in this /sludge/..." My words trail off as she wraps her arms up and around my neck.
      "I know but you can still walk. Carry me to bed." She pokes my nose teasingly.
       "Hmm no. Not this time, I do have other matters to tend to." I unwrap her from me and dress hastily.
      "When shall you return? Tomorrow is training, correct?" She questions, nearly demandingly.
       "No. Your combat skills are sufficient enough. And until you learn to control your inner desires, unlocking your full nen would be pointless." I shrug my shoulders and turn to leave.  
      "Hmm? Did you say something?" I turn questioningly, I could've sworn she said something.
      "Nope. Have a good evening." She waves me and slumps on the couch as I close the door.
      I leave my flower alone once more. It is for the best, must not to get too attached to treasure. It'll lose its shine all the faster ♤~. I make my way to the grand hall, Illumi is supposed to meet me here. I scan the crowd looking for a gloomy tension.
      "Ah there he is. Disgused as an old friend." I appoarch him quickly, "Haven't seen this face since the hunter exams. What is the occasion?" I coo to him.
      "I have received a high priority contract back in Yorknew city. As everything is set here for Lady Yuki's match. We will be going there to retire a Mafia Don. We leave immediately." He stands, walking us to the exit.
       "Lead the way then." I follow behind Illumi, cursing my luck.
