The Fog and The Red Rain [A HunterxHunter fan fic]

Crushed spines and porcupines

Lian's lips thin as I groan and look away from him. Revenge is freaking stupid.

"Hiding? Listen, man, back the fuck up before I sit you down on that little blade of y-"

I hear a swish, and sudden dead silence except for a few gasps and I open my eyes. His blade is curved around my throat.

He chuckles, the scars lining his lips looking grotesque and I can't help but smirk slightly.

"-ours. You've improved."

"Improved you say? I've spent my entire life for this moment. A lot of people are after you right now Miss Haze, and I'm not very sure you know why."

"Let her go!" Gon yells and Killua is already up in an instant, but I hold a hand up to stop them.

"Maybe Lian can tell me once this is over, correct?" I chuckle, and her head snaps over to me. "I did feel like I knew her before."

His yellow teeth gleam from under his red hat and the long white coat covering everything except his gnarled hands. "As sharp as ever."

"Punny. Speaking of which, isn't it rude to point the blade of my family at me? This falls under our return policy. I'll be taken this now."

The blade digs into the back of my neck, and he looks upset. "And how will you manage t-"

"Well, its not tha-"

"BITE YOUE TONGUE. I'M SPEAKING."

I lift an eyebrow. How disruptive. I shrug. "Alright. But be careful what you ask for." I stick my tongue out, then angle it so that it barely scrapes by my tooth and starts to bleed.

"E-eh? Wait! Stop!"

I wink, and the blob of blood darts out like a cactus needle and suddenly expands as it reaches his eye, and it continues. It pumps into his brain, and suddenly black shards snap our in different forms from his scalp. His grip on the blade goes slack as I remove the blood string from my mouth and allow it to retreat into my wrist.

I pick up the scythe and turn to Lian, twirling it around my arms.

"So, care to explain yourself?"

And she does.

I don't remember what exactly happens when I was bit by that fox. She and I were best friends, bonding over stars and art in the hospital. She had been sent there after being attacked by some brutal classmates because she had an eating disorder.

After we both got out I helped her get back on her feet and loose the weight. We trained together to help me practice what I had learned once in a while, but we had to cut ties since my parents had attracted unwelcome guests that were effecting her life. Six years later she hears my name roll around, she looks for me to warn me that everyone in the underground fame game is out for my head.

Finding my locating was not hard at all since she herself was taking the exam. She swore only to approach me when absolutely necessary. She wanted to help Gon and Killua to thank them for sticking around me, since many of the exam takers were waiting for the next phase to kill me.

"Ha! They can try. I'll feed their scrotums and entrails to the birds." I grumble, glaring at the examinees with precaution.

I'm still very tired.

"That's...um.."

"Sienna..." Gon murmurs, a small blush forming on both their faces and I roll my eyes.

"Painful." Lian finishes and I huff.

"Well. Guess I'll have to take responsibility for leaving you alone for six years and be together that long, eh?" I ask her, and her eyes widen.

"Y-you're just gonna believe me? Like that? What if I was actually an assassin who wanted to kill you too?!?"

"You wouldn't do it." Killua stated, staring at her with honest eyes.

"What-"

"Killua... Is a trained assassin. He's a Zoldyck. Gon here, he's the Gon Freecs. They know a lot of dangerous people, because they can be dangerous people. And besides," I whisper, pulling her close.

"You betraying me would just make taking your life just that much easier."

She gulps and I can't help but smile even a little, because fear has always been amusing to me, no matter what side I'm on.

Its just so rare.
