2:47 am

Hisoka ran his fingers slowly through Eclair's wet hair, trying to remove any tangles he may have left while washing it. She had passed out before he'd even gotten to the bathroom, so he proceeded to bathe her himself.

He sat idly on his small purple stool, watching the top half of her small breasts submerge, then emerge from the soapy suds of the bathtub.

'Hmm~'

Her breathing seemed to hitch for a moment, before her grey eyes shot open.

She sat up in one rushed motion, which sent a wave of water spilling over the tub, and landing with a loud splash.

Her eyes were wide, and her hands were gripping the side of the tub so hard, her knuckles began to lose color.

"W-what happened! Where's Reah?!"

"Reah? I think your confused princess~"

"No. I-I was there! She..." Eclair trailed off, seeming to remember where she was.

Her eyes trailed down Hisoka's body as he sat down next to the bathtub, his crimson T-shirt, now soaked from the splash she'd created moments ago.

"Why am I in the bathtub? Naked."

He chuckled softly, "You had blood everywhere, and I couldn't just lie you down in bed like that~"

"So, you bathed me!?"

"Ah, calm down~" he raised his hands up in defense, "You would have done the same for me, yes?~"

"No!"

"Well-"

"I-It doesn't matter." She interrupted him, "I have to tell you what happened.. I remember."

He scooted his seat closer to the tub, "Do tell~"

"Well," she began, "For starters, Reah's gotten in contact with someone who's able to.. summon."

"Summon?"

"Let's just say that, it's in fact not a good thing."

"I see~" He nodded his head, urging for her to continue.

"Secondly, she knows that i've hired you.. She knew all along. I don't know how she found out either.."

Hisoka rubbed the side of his cheek thoughtfully, "What do you think her purpose of meeting with me was then? If she'd known the whole time, killing me should have been a priority, no?~

Eclair nodded her head, "But, sometimes she's completely unpredictable, so we might not ever know."

"I see.. What else?~"

Eclair slid one hand down into the now semi-cold water, her other gripping the tub even tighter than before, and Hisoka noticed her eyes laced with an anger he'd never seen in them before.

"She threatened me."

He waited for a few moments before asking, "That's it? Anything specific mayb-"

"She threatened to kill everyone I love, including yo-" She shoot her hand up hastily out of the water and clamped down on her mouth tightly, preventing her from letting out anymore of that last sentence.

"Hmm? Am I missing something here?~"

"N-n-nothing anymore! N-now get out.. I need to dry off."

Hisoka shrugged slightly before standing up to leave, but something stopped him.

"Hey Eclair~"

"Hmm."

"Did you always have a tattoo on your as-"

"GET OUT PERVERT!"

He laughed maniacally as he rushed out of the bathroom, dodging the bar of soap that was promptly was thrown his way.

8:41 am

Eclair sighed softly as she laid down on the bed she and the magician shared.

She brought a hand up to brush her bangs out of her face and over her head.

"Illumi wants to meet up again to talk about what you saw~"

Eclair didn't show any movement, or respond in any way.

"He says," Hisoka continued anyways, "That it would be helpful to know what you experienced, and what your surroundings were like~"

He sat down on the opposite side of where the young woman had lied down and stared at her, searching for any type of reaction at the mention of Illumi's name.

"Ah.. W-we should do that.."

Her eyes had a blank look, and they almost seemed to be analyzing
something, but Hisoka shrugged it off.

"But, first!~" he raised up a pair of odd-looking tickets, "You have to come watch me fight~"

Eclair sat up slowly, and Hisoka almost saw a spark in her eyes, "Really? Another one?"

She took one of the tickets that Hisoka handed to her and examined it in her grasp.

He watched her, mildly amused at such a response, then he saw her eyes widen slightly, "Kastro? You guys are going to fight?"

"Yup~"

"Cool.. I'll go."

"The fight's in a few hours, so we should probably get going~"

She looked at her current attire, and shrugged. Light-blue high waisted jeans, and a pink long-sleeved crop top, along with her usual pair of black converse.

"Ok, whenever your ready."

11:17 am

The two stood in line inside of the Heaven's Arena, Eclair internally groaning at the mass of people the were there.

'That's why he wanted to leave so early..'

"Hisookkaa," she groaned aloud this time, "Why do you have to sign in anyways?.. That's so stupid! They should have ways allow all fighters to enter as they please, or something.."  She crossed her arms and pouted.

Hisoka chuckled at her response, "You're so cute, you know~"

Her heart rate increased tenfold at his response, and her mother's words briefly came back into her mind, as she felt her face heating up.

'Oh, and how can I forget your dear old lover.. What was his name again? Hisoka?'

'Nononono! W-we aren't lovers! Why do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself..'

She groaned again, before two tall men came and stood behind them.

She tried not to focus on them too much, but then she heard them whispering things about her.

"Damn.. Look at that ass-"

"I know!.. Hopefully she doesn't have a butter-face."

She almost rolled her eyes to the back of her sockets, and drug a hand through her hair once again, trying to ignore the men, but they were persistent.

"Excuse me miss," one of the men tapped her shoulder, "My friend here thinks your really cute, and he was wondering-"

The other man put his hand over his friend's mouth, "I-I'm so sorry! He never thinks about what he's going to say before he says it!"

He released his friend's mouth and put his hands together, bowing for forgiveness.

"Ah, i-it's fine. Really.." She waved the two men off, before her ears perked up. The multiple tv's in the large room were playing something.

"Hello! I'm your announcer Cocco! Today in the Heaven's Arena, we have Kastro versus Hisoka, the match you've all been waiting for!"

Eclair's ears heard the familiar sound of a roaring crowd, and grimaced slightly.

'Well.. If it's for Hisoka I don't mind..'

"Just look at this crowd! The match doesn't start for another hour, but the arena's already packed!"

"Hisoka, will there be enough seats? It lookes filled up.."

Hisoka flashed a small grin at her, "Don't worry~ I'll make sure that you have proper seating arrangements, princess~"

"D-don't-

"Shhh~" he put a finger to her lips, before turning to sign them both in.
