"Not yet, you don't but wonders can be made with one's imagination~", with the most disgustingly perverted look on his face the clown eyed my body, making me instinctively shiver.

"It's of no use to reason with an idiot." I sighed, tiredness was getting to me and I was not in a safe place, not with this fighting-to-the-death-makes-me-horny clown nearby. My eyes loomed over to Gon chatting with Razor. "God, why am I here with you... will you really meet with them?"

"Who knows~? Stick close to me and we'll find out!"

"Gah! What was that sticking isn't something I do, unlike you my nen doesn't revolve around BUNGEE GUM – THAT HAS THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH RUBBER AND GUM!" Soon after people approached us, probably because I said the last part with the most mocking salesperson voice. "What now?" I question the white-haired kid, as I attempted to get on my feet. The pain hit me harsher than I thought it would, damn muscle man Razor. It was to be expected, I sighed.

"Oh~ would you look at that it seems someone needs help." My eyebrow raised at Hisoka yet had no time to spout a probably not so witty comeback when Killua pushed me up and tried to support a bit of my weight, so my leg didn't ache so badly.

"Ah, Killuaaaa you're so nice!" I hugged him tightly careful not to squeeze hard, he was also injured after all. "I wish your brother was as nice as you!! Are your hands ok? Let me see!" He let go of me for a while to show his white bandages, and I blessed him for helping me getting up and switched all my weight to the good leg, there were some blotches of blood here and there tainting the tissue, just thinking about such a young kid hurt like this made me go back to hug him cautiously and pet his head. "I know you're probably used to the pain but I'm so sad to see you like this... You kids should be more careful when picking battles alright?"

"You too, Y/N!" Killlua playfully added as he pointed to my leg.

"Excuse my attempt to help you guys, where's my thanks? I didn't shine as brightly as you and now I'm treated like I did nothing!" I cry in an overly dramatic voice, a smile on my face as I pinch Killua's cheek.

"Oh dear! If you want a rewar-" I punched Hisoka who had gotten closer without me noticing it, I was indeed very tired. "We can play that way too~" If my eyes could roll eternally, they would after being so done with the clown.

After that the NPC took us to a window and started blabbering about the game story. Hisoka helped me get up the stairs to get there, a bit of kindness I would later have to repay I could bet. They got a card called Plot of the Beach and were talking about cloning it when Hisoka grabbed me bridal-style starting to carry me out.

"Wait aren't we saying goodbye?" My voice left my throat strained, my leg needed some fine rest and my body was too exhausted and sore for any of this.

"Hisoka, Y/N, do you really want nothing?" Gon's voice caught up to us.

"No, it was fun." The pale man smirked, Killua walked toward us as well.

"Why don't you join us?" Hmm, the boy wanted some information on the troupe as well? Smart. Keep your enemies where you can see them. When I noticed I was smiling at Killua, proud, maybe I should hint a bit.

"I'm not interested in collecting cards." Was Hisoka's reply, and I only added, "We have stuff to do... People to meet, like a doctor that would be nice..." Golden eyes fell on me, lack of trust, a bit of annoyance, that's what they let through. "If anything comes up, use Contact and I'll use Accompany or Magnetic Force and show up."

"That's a generous offer, sir Clown." I winked to Killua as I waved goodbye to the boys.

We were in a hotel after visiting the doctor and using some healing aids from the game, Hisoka looked bored. But soon after Phinx used Contact and showed up. He took us to the hiding place of the other spiders, these cards in the game were quite useful.

Feitan, Shizuku, Shalnark, Franklin and Bonolenov were waiting. "Feeiiiiiiiiiiiiii-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaan~~~~~" I shrieked as I used my crutches to get closer to him. "Aah how I missed you!" In a second he was no longer in my line of sight. "Hey! That's not playing fair I'm hurt, didn't even have time to rest!!!!" I cried out.

"What happened to you Y/N?" Kind Shalnark asked, ah there was someone with some manners, at least that.

"A muscular dude broke my leg in a game of dodgeball." The 6 visible phantom troupe members looked at me with a bit of a surprised look, and I could see Shalnark wondering if his politeness could top his curiosity. "He was really strong, Hisoka almost came, or maybe did... ew don't want to think about it! Glad I've met you guys, do you know where our lord and saviour Chrollo is?"

"I thought you were with him." Shizuku said now unbothered by everything, or maybe she just forgot what I just talked about.

"Ha, no. Now don't mind me~ Do your business..."

"Y/N is being rather boring when hurt I'll leave her to you~. Where is our friend?"

"Machi and Nobunaga are tailing him." My attention then turned to Shalnark's finger, a thin nen string was tightly tied around it. "He's just up ahead."

"Were willing to let you negotiate with the exorcist, and pay any price, just make sure he agrees to do it." Oh, so they are dealing with the whole no more nen for Chrollo situation, cute.

"I understand, I wouldn't be able to fight him otherwise." And, of course, that is his reason. We then moved to the place where Machi and Nobunobu were. And they discussed something with Hisoka. I could feel a familiar presence around.

"You in the shadows," Hisoka's voice got louder, "was it through your power?"

After Nobu called the clown freak, deserved, he explained he was sensitive from his battle. Real freak. And Kalluto came out of the shadows.

"Was my Zetsu not good enough?"

"No, it was perfect." Machi reassured.

"Hello, Y/N-san."

"Oh, it's amazing. A while ago I saw Killua, now I see you. Life is never complete without a Zoldyck~ Heheh. How have you been? Your mother was quite lonely without you..."
