"Someone has to die in order for the rest of us to value life more." -V.W

~~~~~~~

Eclair shot up in immense pain, her arm clutched tightly around her stomach as she took in small sips of air. "Are you alright?~" Hisoka chuckled amusedly as he turned his head slightly to face her, his tone ringing annoyingly in her ears. 

"That's not... Funny.. Hisoka."

She saw that the man was still up, doing whatever it was that he did in the late night hours.

"Who said I was trying to be? I'm genuinely concerned for the state that my toy- I mean.. Comrades are in~"

She frowned at him and slowly lied her head back down, careful not to put too much pressure on her source of pain. Hisoka watched this go on, before his hand shot straight for her silk t-shirt and raised it to reveal the discolored bruise.

"Don't!" She hissed as she smacked his hand away, "Just... Don't."

"I'm just trying to help.. Hmm.. I know someone who can help, and if you want we could get you fixed straight by tomorrow?~"

She narrowed her eyes and sighed, "Ok.. I can wait for that long.. I guess."

"Good~" he scooched his body nearer to her's and bent his head down to give her a kiss on the cheek, but-not realizing what he was trying to do, she turned her head to glare at him at the wrong time. 

Their lips met briefly before Eclair turned her head away back in the direction it was previously facing. "Go to sleep Hisoka..."

8:51 am

The magician and the woman stood outside of a shady looking Antique's store, Eclair's eyes eying the shop warily. "Are you certain this is the right place? Hisoka.."

"Positive, I used to come here often ya'know~"

He saw her worried expression and took her hand in his, "Don't fret princess~ I'll make sure that your feeling better in no time~"

'All these damn nicknames...'

Eclair sighed, before her and Hisoka entered the small shop. The door opened with a 'ding' and she looked up to see the small bell that preoccupied the corner of the door. The first thing she noticed was the lack of customers.

'Well.. That's not too surprising.'

The place was shady afterall. The second thing she noticed, was the small old man sitting behind a dusty countertop. He was short and barely visible until the two reached nearer to the counter, as he stood atop a small stool. His eyes were squinted, and he had scanty round glasses, and a white beard to accompany all of this.

"Ojii-san, It's me, Hisoka~"

The old man seemed to ponder this for a few moments, his hand reaching up to scratch his stiff beard, "Hisoka?.. Sounds familiar.." His voice was hoarse, and reticent, almost how Eclair expected it to be.

She bit her lip as she held back a groan of pain, her stomach couldn't take much more of this.

"Is Ginger here? I'm sure she'd remember~"

The old man nodded slowly as he hopped down from the stool, seemingly disregarding his previous questioning of who the two adults were.

'He really is short..'

He led the two adults to the back of the store, where Eclair noticed a brown, dusty door sat idle and unbothered a small back corner. It was almost unnoticeable. The old man reached into a pocket on the apron he was wearing, and removed an odd-shaped key before putting it into the key-hole of the door.

He twisted the key and it unlocked with a satisfactory 'click' before he removed the key and turned the handle, opening it.

Upon entering the door, light flooded down onto the three adults, and to Eclair's surprise it seemed like they were in a whole new store.

Although it was more of a warehouse that had a large amount of items stocked.

Everywhere you could see, everything looked to be brand new, and brightly polished, the floors, the walls, even the rows of shelves seemed freshly bought.

Eclair hadn't even noticed Hisoka was still holding her hand until he dropped it at her side. She pushed back the remorse she felt when he did so, but shrugged it off quickly focused on their surroundings once more... That is, until she heard a gasp and a large squeal coming from Hisoka's direction.

"HISOOOKKAA!!♡"

A tall woman came rushing from behind him, and jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

Eclair's eyes widened slightly, 'Who the hell is this?'

"Ginger~ It's been a while, no?~"

"I missed you Hiso-kun!"

The woman nuzzled her face into Hisoka's neck, and Eclair fought back a growl.

The woman finally hopped of Hisoka, and Eclair was able to take in her whole form.

She was tall, as Eclair already assumed, almost reaching Hisoka's own height, and she happened to be one of the most beautiful women she'd ever seen.

Her hair was long and curly, and the color of a ripe citrus orange, along with sea-green eyes to match. She had flawless tan skin, and her body was gorgeous, with all of her curves being in the right places.

Eclair was especially jealous of her larger chest.

"Why haven't you visited in so looong! I missed our fun times!!"

Eclair didn't notice the woman wink at the magician as he chuckled, "I didn't need your services for the time being~ You should know that when I come here it's only for business~"

The woman pouted and crossed her arms, "Do you have business for me then? Hiso-kun?"

Eclair hated the way she said his name, so shrilly and high-pitched. It was hurting her damn ears.

"I do as a matter of fact~"

He put his hand on the small of Eclair's back, and ushered her directly next to him.

The woman seemed to only notice her when Hisoka brought her next to himself, and that pissed Eclair off even more.

Her eyes lit up in delight, and she reached her hand out to shake Eclair's, "I'm Ginger! It's such a pleasure to meet you!"

Eclair looked at Ginger's hand held up for her to shake, but did nothing as she responded, "Eclair."

Ginger chuckled awkwardly for a second, as she slowly lowered her hand, "Well then, You have something for me right? Hiso-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Hisoka had appeared beside her, and was whispering things in her ear. Eclair watched the engagement go on, her anger burning up inside of her, causing her pain to increase.

Once the two were done whispering to eachother, Ginger smiled in ecstasy as Hisoka walked away from her.

A light 'smack' sound was heard  and Eclair glared as she saw Ginger's hand on the back of Hisoka's ass.

'That. Is. Mine.'

Although she would never admit it aloud, she loved Hisoka's ass. It was one of her favorite body part's on him.

She would claim it one day, but until then, she didn't need that stupid "Ginger" touching it, looking at it, thinking about it, you get where she was going.

"So!" Ginger piped up after removing her hand from Hisoka's ass, "You need to get rid of something inside your body, correct?" She ushered her hand out to Eclair.

"Well.. I'm not exactly sure.." She reached for the hem of her shirt, and lifted it slightly, her own eyes widening after seeing how much worse it had gotten.

"Wow.." Ginger mumbled, as she walked over to the woman and crouched down to get a better view.

There was no longer any hint of color besides black, and it had begun spreading to the top half of her body.

"What the?!" Eclair frantically removed her shirt to get a full look at what was happening to her body.

The black mass had spread above her waist, and was now reaching the lower half of her breasts.

"I-It wasn't like this yesterday! What-"

"It's a good thing you brought her to me when you did Hisoka," Ginger interrupted, her voice void of any enthusiasm it once had, "A few more hours with this.. And she'd be dead."
