Ch.21| the past

Once they entered her room, Hisoka immediately plopped down onto her bed. 'don't say anything, don't say anything.' Moving over to bathroom, she flicked on the light, shutting the door and leaving Hisoka on he bed. Pulling out her hairbrush, she ran it through her soft hair as Hisoka started humming from her bed. Akari's eye twitched but she continued to streak her fingers through her hair. "What are you doing in there!" He called out. 'he's gotta be bored. well i'm not keeping him here.' "Brushing my hair, why?" She yelled back at him. "I'm bored~" He whined from the other room. Akari rolled her eyes. "I don't care, you don't have to be here!"

She heard a loud groan from her bedroom as Hisoka walked over to where she was. "Brush my hair~" Akari rolled her eyes. "Fine." Grabbing her brush she carried it out of the bathroom and entered her room. Plopping down on the bed she patted her lap and folded her legs, motioned Hisoka to join her. He smiled as he strutted over to her and laid down with his head in her lap. "Gentle please~" Akari scoffed but stroked her brush through his red hair. Her black hair fell around her shoulders and tickled his nose.

"Mmmm~" Hisoka hummed as she dropped the brush, massaging his head instead. "You're so good with you're fingers~" He praised and closed his eyes. Akari's face flushed pink but she ignored him. "I wonder if the others have found anyone yet~" Hisoka mused as he sighed out. "Yeah, my phone's on so I'll hear if they call." She answered back, pulling her fingers through a small knot in his hair as he groaned. "Hey, gentle darling~" Akari snorted. "Be lucky someones giving you attention." Hisoka let out a small 'humph' but didn't say anything else.

"So how has life been treating you~ In the time you haven't seen me~?" "Shitty." Hisoka opened his eyes, looking up at her focused brown ones. "Why's that~?" "Because." "Because~?" Akari sighed down at him. "You're asking an awful a lot of questions." "Nope~!" He answered popping the 'p'. "I asked you one question, princess~" Akari took one hand out of his hair and flicked his face. "How has life been for you?" She countered back and Hisoka let out an annoyed 'tch'. "My lives been fine~ Met new people, killed people that annoyed me~ The regular." She nodded. 'that's a pretty vauge explanation, but i can't really say anything.'

"What about-" "So! Gon and Killua passed then-?" She asked, desperately trying to distract him from asking about herself. He cocked an eyebrow at her disapprovingly. "-yes they did~." Akari hummed as she continued to soothe his hair. "So they learned nen in only a day-" "Darling~?" She stopped, narrowing her eyes at him. "What." "What happened with you~?" "I don't know what you mean." Hisoka's eye twitched. "I've been absent from your life for what, three years?" "Four." She corrected. "Four. So tell me what happened~"

Akari shook her head, fingers kneading into his hair. "Nothing happened Hiso." His eyes narrowed as she used the old nickname. "Nice try~ But saying 'Hiso' won't make me stop asking." "Why are you so persistent!" She growled, sliding her fingers out of his hair. 

Hisoka let out a small, deflated sigh at the loss. "Nooooo~ I'll stop asking~!" He promised widening his eyes up at her. "Yeah well, I know you. And I know you'll just keep asking one way or another." Hisoka's eyes locked onto hers and he smiled. "Brush my hair~" Akari peered down at him. "Will you stop asking?" "Maybe~ It depends." "Depends-?" "Yes. Now keep playing with my hair~!" He whined, raising his hand and grabbed hers, pulling it back down to him. "God you're difficult today!" Akari mused as she once again stroked Hisoka's hair. "mmmm~" He agreed, his hand rested on hers. 

Slightly tugging on his hair when she played with it caused Hisoka to moan quietly. 'wait what.' "Uh-" He narrowed his eyes up at her when she stopped. "Don't stop." Hisoka hissed softly and Akari widened her eyes but continued. Every so often she got a small reaction from Hisoka who's eyes were once again closed shut, the edges of his mouth curved. Akari moved her hands to the lower part of his head, closer to the back of his neck. "a-ah~" She almost stopped again but swallowed dryly and strung her fingers through his hair. 

"m-mmm~" Hisoka let out a strained groan and Akari stopped, hands still in his hair. "Hiso, what-?" He opened his eyes, smile never leaving his face. "Hmm~?" She looked questioningly down at him, eyebrow raised. "Why do you- you know, keep doing that?" He rolled his eyes still smirking. "Darling you're doing a great job~" Hisoka winked at her, Akari face flushed at his praise. Mustering back down a serious face she narrowed her eyes. "Quit making that noise or I'll stop." She threatened. "What noise~" He purred back. "I'm just merely relaxing~ You're doing an amazing job dear." Akari glided her hands out of his hair again and slid her legs out from under him.

Hisoka crinkled his brow in confusion as she pushed away from him. "What~?" "Go shower." He glared up at her. "I don't smell~" She rolled her eyes. "I know." "Then why~?" He pouted as she leaned back on the bed, closing her eyes. "Go." "Why~?" "No more attention until you do." He squinted up at her but slipped off of the bed. "You're mean~" He growled as he slunk into her bathroom and slammed the door. 

'finally hes gone.'  Akari let out a long sigh as she heard the shower start and she rested her head on pillows. 'that was the lamest excuse to make him leave-'  she growled to herself, rubbing a hand over her face. 'when hes around i have no fucking way to control myself.'  Sighing again she grabbed her phone and just like she expected, no calls or texts from finding the targets yet. 

Stretching her body out on the bed she shut her eyes closed and let her mind drift.

*flashback*

"catch me if you can!"  She called out, her breath coming short as the boy chased her around the estate. "game on!" He called back, hair blowing in the breeze as he swiftly extended his hand out to the smaller girl. Curling his hand into a fist he narrowed his eyes, focusing his attention at the girl in font of him. "down!" He called out and she quickly fell to the ground. "what the heck?! i thought we said no nen!"  The girl cried out and the boy shrugged. "oh well too bad." "You wanna go?!"  "Yeah!" Swiftly the girl hissed under her breath. 'get him, bound him to the ground, hold him there until i say!' The boy was immediately shoved to the grass his eye wide. "Hey!" She smirked down at his confused face. "Your fault!" He huffed as he struggled to move. "It's no use~"  She grinned down at him, holding our her hand for him. "Come on, let's go eat lunch!" He nodded in agreement and she smiled. 'release' Once her hold on him had vanished she and him rose, both grinning widely. He nodded and grabbed her hand, dragging her back to her house. The pair entered, him first. Her black hair swinging loosely around her waist, his chestnut hair filled with leaves, both eyes gleaming with happiness. His mother called them out as they entered the house. 

"Daiki! Akari!" 

*end of flashback*

Akari forced her eyes open. The shower had stopped. 'god how long was i drifting?'  Then she heard the humming in the bathroom and Akari sighed in relief. 'not too long then.'  Akari leaned on her elbows as she looked up, humming a soft tune that her mother once sang to her. A smile gifted her face as she slowly whispered the song |~hush now child, go to sleep~ when you wake up you'll be free~ free to dream and free to sing~ this tune will be harmony~| Then the bathroom door opened and Akari stopped. 

There standing before her was Hisoka.

Naked.
