Repulsive Beauty || Hisoka

5.On Making Enemies

I decided to spend the day relaxing for once. I started at the gym which, unsurprisingly, was full of macho men just trying to show off. I just wanted to run for a while.
One guy came up in front of my treadmill and tried to get my attention.
"Yes?" I asked, pulling my earbuds out.
"Just wanted to say you can choke me like you choked Hisoka, anytime." he spewed, leaning on my machine.
First of all, it'd kill you.
"Mean it?" I asked with a fake smile
"Sure sweetheart, I won't pass out like a bitch either." he said, wiggling his eyebrow.
"No you sure wouldn't pass out. It'd snap your neck before you could." I stated, letting my smile fall and replacing it with a sympathetic pout.
"What?" his face looked more serious, standing straight up again.
"I can show you if you'd like?" I asked, putting on a creepy smile and conjuring one whip with a slow twirl of my wrist.
"Jeez, lady you're fucking psycho." he pouted as he finally walked away.
What kind of pick up line is that anyway? And I'M the psycho? Unbelievable.
My machine beeped as I hit mile 20, and I hopped onto the sides and shut it off. I caught my breath some before heading to the shower.

After that I thought I'd lay by the pool. It was finally Summer in York New City. Wearing a plain black two piece bathing suit, a hat, and sunglasses, I found a chair in the sunny pool yard. I found myself thinking about Hisoka. How could I not.? My mind wandered from Hisoka, to Gon, to the hunter exam. I wasn't pondering anything deep, just letting my mind ramble.
The sun felt good on my skin, and there was a perfect breeze to keep it from being too hot. The pool was packed with people, it being the first nice day in months. Fighters above the 50th floor and all staff had access to the pool area, which also had hot tubs and shower rooms. I had used a hot tub here once before after I went too far at the gym, but it resurfaced memories I'd like to avoid.
From across the pool I heard a woman's voice say my name.
I listened in more intentionally now, just curious. I think most people underestimate how attune us fighter's senses were, especially hunters.
"It's really no wonder she made it out nearly unscathed. I heard she slept with him before the fight, and in trade he let her win." one woman said.
People can't possibly believe that, can they? Also they must recognize me, my tattoos are pretty identifiable even from afar.
"God. What a slut. I almost don't blame her though, I'd trade my body to Hisoka for a corn chip."
They both laugh.
I guess I should have known people would spread a rumor like that. It doesn't concern me much, since there isn't anything I can do. People will always find a way to discredit someone they're envious of. They continued talking but I don't care to listen to anything more than that.
Out of nowhere they scream bloody murder. I sit up quickly and look to see what happened. God I hope they got stung by a bee or something, that'd be some righteous karma.
They're glancing around the area frantically, and holding one woman's arm.
"It really is quite unkind to spread rumors ladies. And please, no need for the hysterics, I barely grazed you.~"
He must have been passing by and heard their conversation like I did. He was leaning against the fence by one of the entrances. Jesus christ he threw a card at them? Even I wasn't that angry.
"No deal, by the way. I've never been one for catty women, and I don't have any corn chips to spare.~" Hisoka said as he strode towards them.
As hilarious as that was, I didn't want to stick around to see the whole drama unfold, lord knows Hisoka would love to talk to me about that rumor.
I grabbed my shoes as quickly as I could and ran into the hotel and back to my room.

Ugh. I really wished he hadn't done that, I felt so embarrassed. I wonder if he knew I was there? I'd imagine so, I wasn't hiding myself. He seriously must be following me. Between this, the bar, and the elevator, it's seriously uncanny.
Well, so much for my restful day. And it's only 11am. I could use a coffee, then maybe I'll just watch some fights to pass the time.
There's a cafe downstairs with sandwiches and coffee, which sounds right up my alley right about now, it's the same one I was in before my fight with Hisoka. Nothing makes me happier than the smell of coffee beans.
