For my entertainment

Chapter 10

They felt the room and stopped before them a slide. She eyed it before jumping on waiting for Hisoka to join her. "Come on!" she called excitedly, an excited grin spread over her face.

He paused before sliding in behind her, placing his legs on either side and holding her waist. She was going to be the death of him, he thought sourly. She didn't question the contact only raise her hands as they flew down towards the bottom of the tower.

"Third round, first to arrive #44 Hisoka, #101 Mari, time of 6 hr 17 minutes" the voice overhead called.

"We're the first ones here!" she yelled in delight before wandering around the room, "I hope Gon and that lot are okay..."

The room was large and empty, it was well lit and had a high ceiling, "how long do we have left?" she asked Hisoka over her shoulder, who was looking at her with an amused look.

"About 66 hours left"

"Darn........" she groaned

"Care for a game, little thief?" he gestured to his cards.

"Sure it's a time waster" she shrugged sitting across from him as his dealt the cards.

They both knew each other was cheating, but it was that – that made the game of old maid more entertaining. They had played at least ten games before the doors opened again, there was a clicking noise as pin-man walked into the circular room.

"Ah, would you like to play to?" Hisoka asked unfazed by the man's strange appearance. Mari on the other hand, stared at him eyes narrowed... something about the man reminded her of something.

Pin-man came over and sat down next to them, Hisoka re-shuttled the cards having won the last game, she stared at him more, what did he reminded her of... suddenly something clicked in her mind.

The pin!

The pin from the guy's neck was the same as pins in pin-man! She reached into her pocket and took out the pin, "I think you lost this in someone's neck" she said innocently, though her eyes said something different as she passed the pin to the stranger, "I found it, after he went sleeping with the fishes."

She smiled, as he took the pin form her. Oblivious to Hisoka golden hues narrowing at the sight, cards dealt. "Pray tell what happen?" he asked in a dark tone, his eyes down-cased towards his cards.

Her eyes flickered between the pair, picking up her cards she continued to talk. "I was getting fish from this pool and this guy came threating me, he was an idiot. Guard completely full of hole and seeing that I was already in the water, I dragged him down and drowned him. Finding that pin in his spinal cord. Strange place really" she put down her pairs onto the pile, "he shouldn't have been able to move with the pin there" She said absentmindedly with a slight frown.

"Interesting~" Hisoka smiled, she notice the smiled didn't reach his eyes like it usually does. He didn't sound please either. What was wrong? But before she could ask there was a ringing sound from her bag. She looked at it and frowned. Why now?

You see, she had this condition.... She actually didn't know what is was but she had to take these pills to help with the whatever the problem was, all she knew was that she tended to be forced to sleep after taking them and would sleep like the dead. Maybe she will find out what they were actually for at some point.

She put her hand into one of the bags many pocket and took out a tub with the alarm attracted to the side, turning off the noisy alarm she opened the tub placing two tablets into the palm of her hand, she paused. "No lust, Hisoka" she warned. "I have to take my medication, I will wake in a bit"
