Chapter 6: San and The-Girl-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named

As Hisoka was following the traces of Nen in the shadows, he contacted one person to help him since he needs to protect Hisashi. He's now walking in a dark alleyway while using Zetsu. He knows that the person he contacted to help him was behind him.

When is he going to get out of the shadows? He thought, taking out a card and playing with it. He couldn't take Hisashi back when they're still lurking in the shadows so he has to wait for the person who took Hisashi to go out.

As he almost reached the end of the alleyway, he stopped. There was a lamp post at the end, and he's guessing that the culprit would go out by now. The culprit also stopped as if he was waiting for someone. The companion that Hisoka called stood beside him, silently observing and waiting.

After a good five minutes, a car pulled over and a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a tall man who wore a mask and has black hair. He was carrying Hisashi who was asleep. He went closer to the car as the door opened, another person coming out.

Hisoka's eyes squinted seeing who it was. It was their latest client. So her motive was to abduct Hisashi, huh?

He didn't waste any time. He immediately wrapped Bungee Gum around Hisashi's shoulders, walking forward as silent as he could as the culprit talked to the lady. He was about to put Hisashi inside when he pulled her, throwing her up in the air and making the two gasp and widen their eyes in shock.

Illumi went out of the shadows and threw needles towards their directions. They hid behind the car doors to avoid getting hit while Hisoka managed to catch Hisashi. He immediately jumped up as Illumi threw another batch of needles, jumping after him. They both landed atop of a three-storey building, Hisoka carrying the still unconscious Hisashi while Illumi held his needles between his fingers.

"They're coming." Illumi informed Hisoka who only nodded. As if on cue, two figures landed behind the both of them. It was the client and that man who owns the necklace. Their faces both had coverings but they had one thing in similar. Blazing red eyes.

"Give her back and you'll leave unscathed." The girl ordered, her voice distorted. The man's eyes were sharp as he looked at them, clearly telling them to just give Hisashi and leave in peace.

"Hisoka?" Illumi asked as he stood in front, looking at Hisoka sideways. Hisoka scoffed, offended by how Illumi failed to read him.

"I wouldn't go through all the trouble wasting my energy to follow you for me just to give her back. You want her? Then come and get her." He answered, holding Hisashi tightly and careful not to drop her.

"Seriously? What a pain." The man murmured as he huffed angrily. "Just give that girl to us and you'll be fine."

They're confident. Hisoka thought, eyeing the two in front of him. The two didn't display their own Nen, their presences were also not intimidating and was rather unshowy. Basically, you could belong them to the normal people on the streets. However, both Hisoka and Illumi knew that they weren't just some weak abductors. They both managed to act fast to avoid Illumi's needles. That man managed to take Hisashi without Hisoka noticing. The girl was rather confident as she stood in front of the man, like she was protecting him or something.

"Give Hisa-chan to you and we'll be fine? What a joke." Hisoka commented, chuckling at the two people's words. These two seriously thinks that they could beat both him and Illumi? It would be like a child's daydream.

"Hisa-chan?" Both asked at the same time, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Who are the both of you?" The girl asked, authority in her voice.

"Illumi Zoldyck, one of Hisashi and Hisoka's companions." Illumi answered, raising his needles as the two exchanged looks.

"A Zoldyck, huh? Silva seriously has great children." The man murmured as he crossed his arms.

"Hisoka, just someone." Hisoka answered with playfulness in his voice. "How about the two of you? Shouldn't you tell us your names, too?" Hisoka raised his eyebrows.

"Just call me San." The man answered and ruffled his jet black hair.

"Oh? San, huh? I believe you owned this." A necklace dropped from Hisoka's hand, San's eyes widening as he recognized it. The necklace dropped on the floor creating a loud clanking sound as it hit the pavement. It immediately disappeared in the shadow and appeared right in front of San. He bent down, picked it up, and put it inside his pocket.

Hisoka grinned, amused. He used his ability and I didn't sense even an inch of Nen used. He's good in concealing his Nen.

"How about you?" He turned to the girl.

"My identity shall remain unknown." The girl answered, making him frown.

"You are no fun."

"That's because I am not here to have fun." She snapped. "I will ask you one question. The answer will decide what we would do."

"Why? What will you do?" Illumi asked, making she-who-shall-not-be-named's head turn to him abruptly.

"I told you it depends on your answer!"

"Understood. You need to chill." This girl's impatient. The girl sighed, closing her eyes and calming herself. She, then, opened it once again and it was fiercer that it was earlier.

"Hisoka and Illumi, what business do you have with that girl?" Hisoka looked at Hisashi who was sleeping in his arms. What business do I have with her? Hmmm, she's my enemy.

"Hisashi and I both benefit from each other especially when it comes to assassinations. She is a colleague, that's all." Illumi answered. Hisoka raised his eyebrow. He never thought that Illumi and Hisashi knew each other.

"How about you?" They all turned to him while waiting for his answer. He smiled, staying silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth to speak.

"She's mine." San and the girl gasped while Illumi looked at him as if he was crazy. He giggled, obviously enthralled by how they reacted. "What's wrong? Why are you so shocked? Is what I said that hard to believe?" San's hands balled into fists, glaring at Hisoka and almost attacked him if it was not because of the-girl-who-can-not-be-named's warning gaze, telling him to restrain himself.

Hisoka chuckled at the scene before him. "Well, who are you to her?" He asked, giving emphasis to 'you.' That's when the two went rigid,  undoubtedly in loss for words to answer him. His smile widened, sensing something was strange with these two.

"We're no one." Answered the girl. He felt Nen coming from her and when his eyes darted towards her hand, webs were forming in it.

"I will ask you one last time." The girl said, pointing her hand with webs to them. "Give that girl to us and leave unscathed. If you won't, your safety will not be guaranteed including that girl's."

Illumi threw his needles to them, making them roll on the floor in opposite directions. San immediately stood up, scanning his eyes on the rooftop and cursing when he saw no one from the two men earlier.

"San." The girl called him. He turned his head to her and saw her looking at someone. He followed her gaze, eyes widening when he saw Hisashi lying on the cold ground.

"They left her?" He asked, taking wide strides towards her.

"Yes." Answered the girl, crouching down beside Hisashi. She scoffed. "And here I thought that we will be into some action. Turns out they're just a bunch of cowards."

She reached out to Hisashi's arm. Her body went rigid when she felt her skin.

How will things turn out now?
