Chapter 7: A Change in Guardians

◇ ═ Start of Chapter 7 ═ ◇

Taisiya's POV

I felt the wind blow onto my face and the sound of water dripping onto the pavement. The air was cold and moist yet, I couldn't feel a single drop of water hit me. The air had a rich scent of medicine. 

I felt a slight pain in my hands that I couldn't explain. I tried opening my eyes but it felt as if my head was wrapped in bandages. I was about to pull on the bandage when my hand was enveloped by another hand that was cold and rough.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," the familiar voice of a certain jester rung through the air. My body tensed as I felt the hand let go of my own, leaving a trail of shudders down my skin.

"... Hisoka?" I asked in a whisper, making sure even though I know it couldn't be anyone else.

"Hmm?~" A tint of seduction was placed in his voice making my body shudder in complete fear. This guy was a psycho.

"What... happened?"

"Oh, that~ you got blown up." I wasn't sure how to react to that information. I was about to talk when he continued. "You can't see now."

My breath hitched as soon as I heard those words left his mouth, my body in total shock. 

"Да ладно¹!" I exclaimed in disbelief before quieting down. "What are you talking about?"

"You can't see... at least without these." I grew confused about what he was talking about. "I'll give them to you if you do something for me."

"Do what?"

"Do we have a deal?" Hisoka ignored me with a smile. 

I wasn't sure what to do because even if Hisoka was lying, he was still there and he was still stronger than me. He could kill me at any time. 'To be honest, I'm also curious about him now that I know he's real...' After a few minutes, I answered.

"Okay."

Out of nowhere, I felt the bandages around my head slip off, making me blind from the sudden light. When a few minutes passed and the light had not reduced, I could confirm the fact that Hisoka was telling the truth.

"How can I see again?" I turned to Hisoka's voice. 

Suddenly, I felt a handhold my chin and lift my head up. My right eye was spread open and as soon as I felt something being placed inside my right eye, I could see Hisoka's face right in front of me from my right eye, staring at me like a predator to its prey. I could feel his breath onto my face as I stared at him, eyes wide at how close he was.

"Ooh? That look on your face looks extremely tempting."

"Okay, I'm out of here."

A shiver ran down my back as I jerked back to get away from him, but the hand pulling on my chin pulled me right back towards him. Smiling at my actions, Hisoka moved back, his hand still holding my chin but his other hand picking up something from beside us.

Not wanting to see his face, I looked away from him and saw that we were surrounded by machines and white furniture. Finally, I realized we were in a Hospital room of some sort. I was laying on the hospital bed while Hisoka stood beside.

'How did Hisoka even get me here? Don't you need to sign your name to get into Hospitals? Or do you not? Now that I think about it, I've never been to a hospital here before.'

Looking back at Hisoka, he had been spreading my left eye, the same way he had spread my right eye and placed in what looked like a contact lens. When it was finally placed into my left eye, I was able to see clearly from both eyes. Hisoka looked at me with a satisfied look as I finally succeed in jerking away from his touch.
