I'm happily hopping along a corridor, I've just signed up for a match, it's this afternoon and I honestly can't wait. Tour a corner and I see Gon and Killua, "Hey! Gon! Killua!" I shout at them waving.

They turn to look at me and when they notice me they smile, "Kumiko!" they shout in unison, I smile and stop in front of them. "I heard that you learned Nen!" I say cheerfully, "Yeah, a guy is teaching us" Kill replies, "good<3!" I'm very happy.

"Oh! By the way, I have a match this afternoon, would you like to come and see me?" sparkles appear in Gon's eyes. "Yes!" I chuckle, "perfect" with that I hand them a couple of tickets, "who is your opponent?" the guy in green asks me.

"I have no idea." Their eyes widen and their jaws drop, "how do you have no idea? Shouldn't you be devising a strategy?" Kill asks me. I smile, "but it's more fun this way!" I reply as my smile widens.

"But it's dangerous" says Gon, I look at him and my expression softens. He's really worried, "Oh Gon don't worry, I won't die no one in this building can kill me", true maybe only Hiso or Illu if they tried. He regains his smile, "can we invite a friend then?" he asks, "of course!".

He jumps for joy, as we walk towards the exit they tell me what they have done since we left each other, their story fascinates me and I end up staying with them for the whole lunch.

When I finally get back to my room, I find Illumi putting away his things. "Hey Illu welcome back!" I say sitting on the sofa, he looks at me, "I heard you have a match today, I came to see", he replies with his usual monotone.

"I knew you were coming so I already got you a ticket!" I say handing it to him, he takes it. I smile. I got him a good, but isolated place, so that no one bothers him. I know how much people in general bother him, or rather the noise they make.

He looks at me then looks at the ticket again, "are you spying on me by any chance?" I choke on my own spit, "what? How do you come up with that?" I ask coughing.

"How did you know I would come to see you? And also how did you know that this seat in the stands is my favorite?" he asks. He's looking at me with a slightly raised eyebrow, which shows he's confused.

"Number 1 Hiso told me, he sent you a message about the match right? And he told me you were coming. Number 2, I've known you Illu, for a long time to be precise, I just assumed based on my knowledge what would make you more comfortable", I explain knowing that a simple or vague answer would not satisfy him.

He looks at me and his expression changes, his eyebrow lowers and the corners of his mouth lift slightly, "I'm happy" he says as if it were a scientific observation.

I blink and tilt my head, "how can you say that?" I provoke him, remaining serious, even if inside I'm laughing and screaming with joy like a high school girl.

"My heart feels warm, my mouth is twitching in a strange way and I can't make it stop, also I have a strange desire to crush you", I can't hold back a small laugh. "Hug you Illu, Hug you," I tell him, he blinks, "no, I'm pretty sure it's called crush you".

I chuckle, "whatever you say, Illu, whatever you say." Then I get up from the sofa and give him a hug which he stiffly returns, but I'm not offended, it's just his way of being and I enjoy it a lot.

Then someone knocks on the door and enters, it's Hisoka. "Oh I'm sorry for the interruption, but I came to wish you good luck darling∼" he says. I move away from Illumi who is serious again, I smile, "I don't need it clown! See you later!" and with this I disappear, heading towards my match. 

Five minutes later I'm in the ring and I'm fighting a big guy, he's wearing gray gloves and pants. They called him the crusher, because when he gets you it's over, none of his opponents survived.

Despite his body weight he is not slow at all, but when the match starts I have no difficulty dodging him. I can say with certainty that I am stronger than him, but why let the fun end so soon?

I continue to dodge him, until we stop in front of each other again, "you're fast" he grunts. I smile, "you too" I reply, "I'll crush you" he continues, "do as you want".

He growls at me, "I hate people like you, I tear people like you to pieces", he continues, "you beast, I think your neurons have some problems like your ears, I already said do as you want". I spread my arms and legs. "Tear me into pieces" I tell him invitingly.

He lunges forward and grabs me and begins to squeeze, I hear my bones creaking, I ignore the crowd and the referee. "You are strong! A normal person would already be dead! Compliments!"

Then I smile mischievously, I release my aura and his hands begin to freeze, muscles, tendons, skin, bones. "Too bad you lost as soon as you touched me," I continue to smile as I watch him slowly freeze.

The awareness of an inevitable death reflected in his eyes and I savor it. He tries to escape, but fails and begins to scream, but soon ice covers his entire body. With a quick movement I disintegrate his now frozen arms, and land gracefully, this is just one of the many applications of my technique.

But it remains one of my favorites. I take out a Kanzashi, and tap it on the ice, the latter crumbles, becoming dust that flies upwards, falling like snow on all the spectators.

"THE WINNER IS THE HEARTLESS ICE QUEEN!!" the commentator shouts. With a final bow to the public I leave the arena, ah I really needed it!
