The Magician's Daughter

Greed Island- the Match

A/N: Fun fact, there are more Bungee Gum references here than in the entire 15 chapters before this. It was just too easy.

The opaque mist swirls delicately around Hisoka, partially covering him as he runs a hand through his wet hair, rinsing the last of the blood out.

A quiet sound indicating someones presence- no, rather a few peoples presences appearing behind him. But the Magician takes no notice, ignoring them until he hears his name being called out. Then, he angles his head around with a smirk that screams danger.

"Well well, what unexpected guests." Hisoka turns around, earning the group of fours attention. "It's been a while." His aura spreads out as does Gon and Killuas, nen spiking out in all different directions to shield themselves from Hisokas terrifying gaze.

"You've grown quite a bit stronger since I've seen you last haven't you?" Hisoka continues speaking, observing the two people alongside Gon and Killua. One seemed to be an average player, and the other; a girl seemingly no older than either child. Seemingly, that is.

"It appears you've found an excellent teacher." Waves of nen leak out of his aura, causing ripples in the once still water. At first, Hisoka turns towards the man but after a moments glance it is clear the male is not their teacher.

With no other option, he looks at the blonde girl who oogles him for a moment and then turns away, embarrassed. Her? His mind is not quite convinced at first, but pushes the thought away soon.

After clothing himself, Hisoka tilts his head. "So," He begins with a smooth but amused voice "What do you want with me- or rather, Chrollo?"

"I have a question first." Gon stares at Hisoka blankly. "Why are you here?"

Lying through his teeth, the jester runs a hand through his still damp hair and smiles eerily. "I'm looking for Chrollo." It's not exactly a lie but it isn't the truth either.

It certainly earns him the reaction he was gunning for, as Gon and Killua inhale sharply, flinching backwards.

"There is actually a way to remove Kurapikas nen from him." A pale white finger points at the sky lazily.

"So you can exorcise it?" Killua puts the rest together in his mind quite easily.

"You knew?" A dark red eyebrow arches. "Then that makes this easier. I'm looking for Chrollo so I can relay this information to him, but I have no leads. That's when I remembered, a few of the Spiders were interested in this game. I thought they would know where Chrollo is, and naturally with this name they would try to contact me."

"I get it then." Killua mutters. "He's just pretending to be a member of the Troupe."

What a bright mind, Hisoka muses. He'd expect no less from a Zoldyck after all.

Gon nods in agreement to Killua.

"Now then, it's my turn for a question." Hisoka puts a hand on his hip "You didn't just come all the way here to tell me that didn't you?"

"Sure I did." Gon responds truthfully.

That's when the girl behind him steps up "Um, actually, we're looking for people who are really strong." A entirely new person seems to be operating her body, as she acts nothing like before. "So, won't you please join us?"

"Hmm?" Hisoka blinks "Sure. But why?"

The group of four argue for a minute, turning their backs to Hisoka before finally agreeing to accept him. From this, Hisoka had at least gathered the girl is a nen user, and that her name seems to be Bisky.
