Please, all of you might think I'm weird of whatever happens but I'm trying my best. I just started watching Hunter X Hunter and it's pretty great but something's been bugging me about Phantom Troupe's Feitan that made me write this story. I also made a few changes to the real Hunter X Hunter so I hope you'll understand. Please enjoy it and like it as well.

I was just another maid or servant who served the Nostrade family. A genuine and innocent worker who knew nothing about suspense or danger. Everyone thought of me as a loyal companion to Neon Nostrade but what others didn't knew was that I was a Hunter and secretly the closest bodyguard of Neon Nostrade would guarantee. Well, I am also an assassin (secretly).

It was about when I was a child. No one really raised me. My parents abandoned me even though I knew exactly where they are. My uncle..was a bastard who raised me. He doesn't care about me. When I was seven, I usually swam around a beach far away from the city since I was always comfortable in being in the water. One day, I drowned in the ocean with my uncle not even caring. I knew he saw me and he did nothing.

Jellyfishes and among other creatures were there lingering around me. A hord of jellyfishes mindlessly struck tenctacles at my body, torturing me slowly as I felt an never-ending pain. In addition, frightening beasts such as sharks and other creatures were there striving to attack me, and I killed ALL of them. It took about fourty nights for I to get used to every pain I experience and including learning how to breathing in water.

During those fourty nights, I spent those days learning an incredible power called Nen. Strange, huh? I learned it by myself but I knew I still lacked experience. Luckily, my uncle was a darn Nen master or teacher when he decided (forced) to raise me. He taught me everything and it was delightful.

However, he never fed me anything nice, only poison. Whenever I couldn't sleep at night, he usually tortures or shots me with poisonous darts to make me feel tired. It was a relief that I was still alive after those horrible days.

And when I was deftly deeming about taking my revenge, I snuck back to my uncle's house and slaughtered him like he was nothing b ut a vicious beast who needed a hunter to slay him himself. Before I killed him, I interrogated him of my parents' current location. It appears that they haven't changed their places so I went out to kill them, I suceeded. Once I heard of the Hunter Exam, I gladly entered and passed.

Sticking back to the present, I walked up to Neon Nostrade who kept her eyes on her book, "Ojou-san, what would you like for dinner?" I asked in a respectful manner, prompting Neon to turn to you with her face bloated.

"Etherell, didn't I told you to never call me that?" Neon huffed, crossing her arms after shutting the book. "You're ny bestfriend, you have no right to call me that!"

"Yes, but I am your maid and your..bodyguard." I lightly said. No one knows whether if someone's there watching me.

"And so are the others but you're different!" She's always so stubborn. It's what makes me happy most but her tantrum might overdo.

I sat on the side of her bed as I said, followed by a chuckle, "Alright. Alright. Neon, what would you like for dinner?" I smiled.

Neon smiled as well, "There we go! And, no, I don't want anything! I'm so pumped up for the auction that I could forget how to breathe!" And there she goes again. She's been like that ever since she heard about the auction. Her father didn't really wanted her to go but anything's permitted for his own daughter.

I had a bad feeling about this auction thing. My instincts say it involves something dangerous but what? "Neon, I think you shouldn't go." She stopped exhiliarating and turned to me.

"What?"

I held her hands gently, "I'm saying that you shouldn't go, as your friend. I feel like..something bad's going to happen so please don't!"

Neon tilted her head and asked, "Why not? And how you do you know something bad's going to happen? Is it one of your Nen or Ren or whatever it is?"

"No, it's just a hunch." After watching her release a tantrum as hours passed by and she finally calmed down. I sighed as I crashed my rump on the floor and looked over to Neon who was now peacefully asleep, "Man, she looks so peaceful when she's asleep. But when she's awake? Oh god's hell, I feel like the world's about to end."

Kurapika lend out a list of unknown people to me. I accepted it and suspiciously examined them all, "What's this?" Once I looked up, my eyes glistered in fear as I felt my legs faltering, ready to fall. The young man's eyes were scarlet. It nearly caused me to flinch but I kept my grounds, "K-Kurapika?"

"Phantom Troupe. Those are the Phantom Troupe's members." He snarled with his fearsome melody of rage beating, "Those are the people who killed all of the people in today's auction."

"Killed? People? Auction?" I shivered and sheered over to Neon. If she hadn't caused that tantrum, she would've been killed by those Troupe members. I swear, if I ever see one.. I clenched my fists as my eyes were an On's eyes. Your eyes change the same with Kurapika but mine only activates with my rage or badass side. "I.. I..don't understand."

Kurapika ignored my eyes and remained calm with his eyes reverting back, "Yes, that's why us bodyguards are trying to protect Neon from them. Please inform Mr. Nostrade about this incident, he needs to know how things have been going."

"Wait. Can I come with you?"

My eyes were back to normal as Kurapika lifted a brow, "No. You're just a servant and the boss' friend. If you died, Neon would never forgive us or her father ever again." He walked away with the other bodyguards. I crushed the paper as I gnashed my teeth, You'll see that I'm not just a servant, Kurapika. I looked down at the crumpled paper and examined every member.

What caught my eye the most was Feitan, Phantom Troupe's interrogator, I believe. I have the eyes like the people who master or use On. Anyways, I knew his name because below his image was an imprinted name of his. I blinked, why did I seem so interested of this guy? Practially, he has killed many people before.

After Neon waking up from her long sleep, she stormed out of the room then to the hotel's pool, followed by me. She wore her bathing suit while I originally wore my temporary clothes, a long and puffy gown that hid most of my knees. My long platnium blonde hair with golden locks reaching my lower back. I was barefooted this time because I was at the pool as I watched Neon dig herself in.

"Ojou--Neon, are you sure you want to swim at this type of hour? It could be dangerous."

"Relax, nothing will go wrong!" Her hair was tied up into a pony tail as she smiled, "Etherell, why don't you join me? It's fun!" She exclaimed, flailing her arms around as she splashed you with water. Luckily, I only got splattered a bit but some droplets were repulsed by force. The droplets of water floated above my hand. "How nostalgic! How are you doing that?!"

"Hmm, this?" I blushed in embarrassment as I lost control of the flowing droplets, letting them fall like they were supposed to. "Oh, that's just my power. As a Pro Hunter, I consist a great power of manipulation, a manipulator. I only control water, even the water in the air. But sometimes, I can create water so sudden that I didn't knew how."

"Cool! Can you demonstrate me?!"

I obediently nodded. If I didn't permit, she might've started her tantrum all over again. I guess I also have to do it for another reason, to make her forget that auction's postponing. I ran my fingers down on the pool's water and raised it up with my fingertips' droplets turning sharp, making them look like I have transparent claws like Killua, let's just say I know him very well.

"Whoa!"

"Pretty cool, right?"

"Wait, here! I'm going to get my phone!" She went out of the water and rushed to the lobby where she left her phone. I could've been the one to get it myself but she'd be stubborn and say that she'll get it. That's Neon Nostrade for you alright.

I smiled and glanced down at my hand, my claws reverted back to normal as I leaned closer to the water and saw my reflection. I were very beautiful yourself. Though, you don't believe in outer beauty, you often believe in inner beauty and I'm not something beautiful, I'm something terrifying. You'll see once I show her. Something then caught my eye, it was a silhoutte. A person standing erect on one of the buildings' edges.

I gasped as I turned. That person lunged to me and dragged me down to the pool. Drowning me most 'till I run out of breath. This person's strangling was very strong. Even though I could breathe in water, I still can't handle being strangled in the neck. I wanted to know who that person was but I couldn't because my eyes were blurry. Then black out.

(Note: I'll just use first person because I literally don't feel comfortable enough to use third person)

Feitan, the one who pushed me down so rapidly to the pool and strangling me so I couldn't move, dragged me up to the surface by embracing me in his arms. He placed me down on the sides of the pool and leaned his ear to my chest, hearing my hearbeat normally pumping. "Great. She's still alive." He mumbled as a few of his Troupe members appeared in great speed.

"Feitan, how many times do I have to tell you to listen to me when I say don't? Were you even--" Nobunaga got interrupted.

"Zero. And, no." Feitan instantly curted.

"Well, that was fast." Phinks noted.

"I said don't strangle her so quick! We need to make sure if--"

"I don't take orders from you or anyone." He kept interrupted Nobunaga's words everytime.

"If it was Boss, would you listen?"

Feitan turned his head away, his eyes narrowing. "Maybe."

"Then if I was the boss, would you--" And he did. Again.

"No. Never. Not even if the world's ending."

Nobunaga sulked shamefully, with his face all bluish purple. "Wow. Ain't that heartless."

Shalnark eyed on me carefully. "Hey. Isn't she.." He dredged out his phone and began typing something.

"..Nostrade's maid?" Machi leaned in to see the photo of Etherell in Shal's phone. She sighed, "That's isn't Nostrade's daughter. It's her maid. You've got the wrong one, Feitan."

"They seem pretty close in the picture," Pakunoda implied. "Also, I assume they're always together no matter where they go."

"Greeat. Instead of catching Nostrade's daughter, you ended up catching her maid." Nobunaga rolled his eyes as he nagged. "Great job, Feitan."

Feitan sighed, "Tch, you darn simpleton, stop babbling. She's good enough for the Troupe," he carried me on his back and my face brushed his wet hair. "There are two options to use her. First option, we can use her as a hostage in exchange for the merchandise for the next auction from Nostrade. I assume Nostrade's daughter will do anything to get her maid back." He began to pace up away from the wet edges of the pool as he placed my hands on the bandana that covered his mouth and chest. "Second option, we can interrogate her to gain information of Nostrade's daughter's schedule. It'll be easy enough to know where that Nostrade brat is."

He obviously had a long time to think those exact words through. Feitan has never spoken this long. Never.

"Fair enough," Shizuku noted, putting her vaccuum down up to her feet again. What did she need to suck with that? "Uhmm.. So, what you meant by interrogation is actually tortute, right?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course it is." Feitan snapped.

"Who's going to torture her then?"

"I will," Nobunaga raised his hand, prompting Feitan to scrunch his brows.

"I'll do it. Back off, she's mine." Feitan snapped, "I found her first so I have to be the one who gets to torture her."

"But you have Owl to torture--" A death glare from Feitan was sent to Shalnark, causing him to pout. "Well, aren't you mean!" He whined, much to Feitan's eyeroll.

"Wait, why can't I scan her memories instead?"

"That won't be acceptable, Paku." Shizuku implied, making Pakunoda back off quitely. "Once Feitan-dono makes a decision, he never gives up." Paku sighed and closed her eyes shut as she relaxed.

"Let's head back to base." Feitan hurdled away as he carried me. He had a high-jump in the air as he easily carried me as if I was just water.

°•○°•●°•○°•●°•○°

Feitan rested himself on a boulder in a supine position (lying on the back with the face up) as he tried to compress a long thin sword that was sliced in half. He sighed, "I'm not even gonna feel sorry." He clinked the broken blades to one another constantly 'till a voice chimed in.

"Ne, Feitan, aren't you supposed to torture the hostage by now?" He looked over to see Machi, meddling with her threads.

Looking back to the sliced sword while flattening his brows, he sighed and retorted. "The girl's still not awake. I've barely seen her move or breathe."

"Are you sure you didn't kill her?"

Thus, Feitan gave her a death glare that engulfed himself with an intensive aura. "I don't care..about what you think, bastard. But when I'm hunting, I am always sure if I left that person dead or alive." That aura and glare dispersed after looking back to the sword, "That girl is still alive. Either way, if she's dead, we'll use her as a threat on those cocky Shadow Beasts or Ten Dons."

"How about Owl? Did he gave up?" Another voice chimed in. It was Phinks.

"Just started the interrogation and he already gave up." Feitan tossed a tiny sack to Phinks from a far away distance. Luckily, Phinks caught it.

"Already?" Phinks furrowed his brows, "How? What did you do?"

"Nothing. At first, he thought I was just bluffing about breaking his arm but when I started threatening him about riping his arm off and digging my hand into his bones so I can pull them out, he got traumatized and eventually gave up. Hmph, what a coward."

"So what happened to him now?"

"I gave him an intense smack on the head and it caused a major bleed so practically, he's hardly breathing."

"What'cha got there, Feitan?" Shalnark breezed in, draping his hands on the back of his head.

"Nothing. It's just Nobunaga's sword," He replied callously, setting his eyes on the blade only. "I broke it right after that guy pissed me off."

"Maaan, you'll be dead. Nobunaga's gonna be mad if he finds out." Shalnark stated.

"That won't be necessary.. I don't care about his anger."

"Geez, you're so fixed." Shalnark looked over to Machi who kept meddling with her threads. "Ne, Machi-san, can you fix the sword with your threads?"

"I can handle the human body or flesh but certainly not items such as swords," Machi turned and added, "Find someone who can fix a broken sword. It's kinda stupid if you find an Enhancer to fix that. What'll they do?"

"Precisely. Eh, I'll just wait for him to yell at me and have him figure the whole thing out." Feitan remarked as he got off the boulder, setting down the broken swords on the rock and stuffed his hands on his pockets like he always does. He went away from the area, "Well, I'm going to interrogate that girl. At a time like this, she's probably awake."

After a while, I opened my eyes to see the man before me. My wilted eyes examined your environment suspiciously, "Where am I? Why did you bring me here?"

"Good. You're awake." Feitan's voice recalled the incident back then of how he kidnapped me. He steeked his book shut and sat up, stuffing his hands on his pockets. "I can't say where you are now but I'm going to answer that second question. I brought you here for an interrogation. I'll make you talk by doing something."

I blushed and wanted to cover my body but I was tied up, "S-Something?"

"Torture. Don't be stupid, I'm not a pervert."

I sighed in relief, "Good." But only if that could last longer, I promptly freaked out, "Wait, that's also a bad thing!" My eyes shot open out of realization of the man I was dealing with, "Hold up! You're one of those Phantom guys, Feitan, wasn't it?"

"Hmm, surprised you still remember my name after that deep sleep. I thought you had a coma or something. If you did, I would've thrown you in the ocean." He saunteted up to me, saying, "Hai, hai. I'll start torturing." He haunched down to me and held my finger, "I'll ask the questions here. Each question you refuse, I'll bend each finger of yours backwards."

"And if I tell you, what would you do to me? Won't you still kill me?"

Feitan pondered about it, "Hmm, I can't say. It depends whether if I'm not interested in keeping you alive. Now, answer my question.. Do you know any Chain-User out there?"

I thought about it and genuinely answered, "Hmm, not that I heard of."

Feitan was examining my eyes suspiciously, clearly that he was checking whether if I was lying or not but he was WAY staring at you too long. The awkward draft in the cold room had shrouded around the both of us as I cleared my throat, "Sooo.." I rolled my eyes in a playful way as my tone, expression and smile were gawky but blissful. "Got any other questions left?"

I snapped him out of his train of thought. He monotously then answered, "Yeah. Were you part of an association of bodyguards in the Nostrade Family?" That question strucked me. It rather hooked me. Did he sense my aura? Does he know that I'm a Pro Hunter? Does he know that I know Nen more than anyone in the Nostrade household?

I gulped and retorted, "Nope." Clearly, I lied. It was certainly obvious. Well, goodbye, fingers! Feitan scrunched his brows in irritation.

"Tch, we could've done this in a simple way." He bent my thumb backwards as it didn't make me flinch. Somehow, I don't feel pain. Even though he did broke my bones, I didn't feel anything. Is it because of that torture my uncle gave me back then when I was at the sea? "Again, are you a bodyguard of the Nostrade family?" His voice represented irritation, though, I can tell that he's not literally a bad guy.

"Hmm, if I told you, would you let me go?" I decided to tease him right after pondering about it.

He emitted those sounds of irritation or disapproval such as 'Tch' He naturally sighed and answered the question, "Didn't I say that it depends if I'm interested in keeping you alive? However, I'll answer your question. Sure, but not until all my questions are answered."

"Oh, is that so?" I toyed with him in a playful way. I didn't want to ooze out my bloodlust, assuming that I have great hatred for people like him. "How are you interested in keep someone alive then?" He grown an irk mark in irritation as I laughed mentally. Got him. "Do you like..have to like that person to keep them alive or--" He smothered my mouth with his bare hands.

I met up with his cold eyes. He was really pissed off. "I swear, talk some nonsense with that worthless mouth of yours once more and I'll kill you." My brows furrowed with hatred. My face expressed your hidden trait of being cold natured.

Feitan's eyes widen up a bit when my expression twisted into a dark, menacing, insensitive and feral one. "Sure. Kill me. It's not like I have anything to do in life since I was born from Meteor City." Feitan backed up.

"You're from Meteor City..?"

"Hm? You know?" I smiled as if I was an innocent kid. "Sugoi~! People rarely heard of Meteor City. Others think it's a dump anyway so they don't usually go there." I tilted my heard as I explained, "It's kinda nice to have people around like you. I'm not bothering to tell you the whole story, BUT..I'll just stick to the summary." I explained him everything. Everytime I told him about pain, he just flinched. I began shaking with I being aware of that. I was shaking out of revenge and hatred. My eyes flashed like the people who possessed On. That represents a somewhat dangerous side of me. My watery claws launched out of my fingertips as I twistedly smiled.

I tilted my head as I stared at Feitan in a deranged way. I managed to break the chains that restrained my limbs and held my hands out. Soon, after finishing the summary, watery tentacles rised behind your back, as you spooked Feitan. "How about you, Feitan? Care to tell me your story?" I said in a spooky voice.

Feitan sighed and placed my loosen hands on my lap, "Man, you're so creepy. Shut up and tie yourself in chains." He gave them to me as I looked down on them. My tencacles dissolved.

"Huh? Won't you be wondering if I could restrain or hang you down instead?"

"Try that and you'll pay the price."

I giggled at his threat and binded myself in a new pair of chains, "Hai." I nodded obediently. Feitan sighed and putted his hands behind his head, leaving the room. "Huh? You're leaving? Why?" Somehow my tone sounded in a sad one.

He sighed and looked over to me in a straight face, "I'll come back once you retrieve in your normal state. Dealing with your insane condition right now seems to make me unable to torture you. If you don't return back to the way you were before, then Phinks will handle you."

Once he left, I perked my head down as my insane look changed into a menacing one as if I was from a gloomy world filled with death, pain, sorrow and sacrifice. You then mumbled beneath your breath, "Hmm.. Took him long enough to leave." I sighed as I said, "Keeping that insane look on my face again really hurts my cheeks. I'm turning into that beast again."

I stared on the filthy ground as I had my aura expanding intensively with it turning crimson red, shrouded with black aura as well. "Toying with someone sure is fun. I wonder if that Phinks guy would be entertaining as well?"

A few moments later, I stared down deeply at Phinks who was in front of me and badly beaten up as my tentacles were behind me once more. "Hm, you're not very entertaining. If you want to interrogate me or at least torture me, then do it properly." I huffed as if I was the boss, "Hmph! I prefer Feitan more!"

"Damned brat!" Phinks cradled his fingers on the bleeding wound on his cheek.

"Who are you calling brat?" I tilted my head back at my menacing trait, "Aren't we..on the same level here? I'm not a kid. I'm officially a teenager. You seem older than me but I bet I'm more skilled than you."

Phinks stormed out of the room as I sighed shamefully, "Hmm, he gets ticked off pretty easily. What a pity." I stared down on the floor, "Well, if Feitan doesn't shows up, I'll escape out of this junkyard."

Loud, heavy and angry footsteps marched up to Feitan who was busy sitting on the boulder, reading a book. "Feitan!" It was Phinks. He yelled across the base as others turned to them in curiousity, even the Boss.

Feitan looked over in an insensitive way, "What did I do to you? You sound like Nobunaga yelling awhile ago."

"That's because you broke my sword!" Nobunaga chimed in in his usual audible voice.

"Shut up." Feitan harshly snapped and turned back to Phinks, witnessing his beaten-up or swollen face. "Huh? What happened to you? You look more like you're the one being tortured than her."

"That cocky girl is nothing but a devil! She punched me, with her tentacles!"

"Don't be a baby. Everyone gets punched in the face." Feitan blunted, "Aren't you the one punching your opponents yourself?"

"Tentacles?" Chrollo shutted his book as his eyes sparked in interest, "How can a humble servant have tentacles?"

"We got tricked good. She's not just a servant, but rather a bodyguard. A Hunter. And also an Assassin, it's kind of hard to understand which is her real job." Feitan said, "She said she was from Meteor City as well but..I've seen something deep inside her that was realy scary."

"Yeah! She has two sides--"

"Actually, more like three." Feitan interrupted Phinks' statement, raising his fingers that resembled a three. "She is originally a Transmuter but her three traits changes all of that. One, she has an innocent, caring and mild-mannered yet stubborn and childish trait that covers up both of her remaining sides. A Manipulator. While the second represents her as an insane and sadistic strategist. An Enhancer. And the last one was the scariest one, she shows up her third trait only when she is angered or bored. That trait is very deadly, menacing, bloodthirsty, dark and merciless. A Conjurer. I believe her first trait is her often used when she's around others. But she's extremely powerful."

"If you ask me, that girl is just a monster!" Phinks complained, now with an ice pack surprisingly laid against his head.

"Hm, extremely powerful, you say?" Chrollo pondered, keeping your image in his mind. He can already picture you mentally. "She..can be a suitable member for the Troupe. Bring her in."

"Danchou!"

"I've considered her worthy and powerful enough to be a member of the Troupe. Why? Does it matter to you?"

"Of course it matters!" Phinks shouted but lowered it a bit because he doesn't want to make his boss mad of course. "I-I can't walk around the Base all day seeing a large sum of dark menacing aura and I mostly don't wanna see those scary-looking eyes filled with insanity and bloodthirst!"

"Phinks.. Are you perhaps intimidated of this girl you and Feitan were supposed to torture?"

Phinks blinked and scoffed sheepishly, "Nah! Of course not!" He's sweating.. Every member of the Troupe thought simultaneously as they pierced their gaze on Phinks who stood stiff.

"Hmm, we're gonna let her join, huh?" Shalnark placed a finger on his chin as he stared up to the ceiling, "Doesn't joining the Troupe have to require someone to kill a member? She has to kill one of us first for a replacement."

"Wasn't Phinks being punched in the face enough?" Machi blunted, insulting Phinks.

"Hey!"

"How about..the Chain-User?" This query from Shizuku caught everyone's attention. "I mean, he used Uvo as a ransom hostage, right? Shall we escort him here?"

"It's not clear yet whether if Uvo is still alive." Feitan remarked. "Speaking of the devil, aren't we going to rescue him? The leeches stored in his body might kill him."

"Right after that girl joins, that's our cue to rescue Uvo. We just have to form up a plan." Shal said.

"Feitan, bring the girl here." Chrollo implied with his stoic eyes gazing down at a dull Feitan.

Feitan nodded in response and sauntered back to where I was now. My head perked up once I heard rusty footsteps coming over, obviously, the floor was so filthy and rusty that the acoustics of this place were easily heard. "Huh? Feitan-san, have you come back to play with me?" My dark expression lightened up into my insane one. The Enhancer.

Feitan sighed and broke my chains by just plucking them, "Just so you know, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Danchou." He pulled his hand out to me.

I gladly accepted it with a warm smile as I went back to your usual expression, "Hm, never thought a Spider could be such a gentleman!" You creased a grin as he led you out of the room. "So, where are you taking me?"

Feitan avoided eye-contact which left me into a sad state. I was upset that he's not looking on my way like he does to everyone else. Oh well, I only want to play with him anyways. It's not like I really like him, right? This was part of my second trait. It was showing. I don't really love or like people.

I was just interested in them. I have no such absurd or personal feelings for anyone. Not ever. Not even my uncle or parents who were just bastards who left or treated me like nothing.

"Just to the boss. He wants you to be a member of the Troupe."

I frowned a bit and lost a bit interest in him, "What?" I laughed a bit as if it was just a joke, "Hold up. No one said anything about joining a troupe." I paused my tracks as Feitan did the same and stared at me in a dull way.

"The boss said that you're worthy enough to be a Troupe member--"

I snuck behind him in surprise, clamping my hands on his shoulders and whispered on his ear, "Listen.. I'm not interested in joining some Troupe so I'll be off then!" Before I left, I tugged his mask down, abruptly revealing his entire face. I pecked my lips on his cheek for no reason at all because I just felt like doing it.

I waved goodbye before creating a portal beneath me sweetly, "'Till we meet again, Feitan-san!" I knew he was going to be in trouble for lowering his guard so easily that I left so unthoughtfully but I didn't really care.

Feitan blushed a bit by my actions and sank his face into his mask deeper to cover up the blush, "Why does..my head strangely feels lighter?"
