Queen of Hearts Part 1

"Okay guys we're heeeere!" Shouted a little girl with a wide smile.

"Thank goodness. Hey Mar-" Leorio was about to thank Mary until he opened his eyes to the sight of his friend cutting into her own eye by scratching it. "Mary!"

"Leorio! Stop!" Yelled Kurapika. "Who are you!?" He asked in a furious rage as his eyes turned into a deep scarlet color.

"Who am I? What a silly question, I'm Mary." She answered with bright red teary eyes. The air around the smiling girl changes as a wave of Bloody Mary's "watered down" bloodlust flooded the two's senses. "Now a serious question for you two, how long do you wish to live?"

The two got their weapons out as they stood, anxiously facing Bloody Mary. The two were shaking tremendously as they could not even talk, only still being able to stand due to the adrenaline that ran through their body.

Waving her hands in front of her she continued without releasing her bloodlust, "Wow! No need to get so serious guys! Of course it was just a joke!" Her voice changed into a mocking tone, "O-of course I-I'm still the same Mary you two know! O-of course is never harm my friends! P-please believe!"

The scene of a little girl shaking and writhing in what seemed to be joy put the two even more on edge as a sudden "thud" sounded behind them, followed by a warm red liquid staining their backs. A man had crawled to them asking for help only to be cut off by Bloody Mary. She had kicked him back over to Hisoka, who in turn buried to playing cards deep within the man's skull.

Bloody Mary began laughing, "Thats quite the sight for the eyes! Hisoka, what's the fun in ending it so quickly when you could, well I don't know, Cleave off their heads slowly? After all, games should last a while! Especially since the last one I played was two years ago! But I digress." As she said those last words she pulled out the wire that belonged to Mary. "Now this isn't a knife or anything like that, but it'll have to do, you two." She motioned over to Leorio and Kurapika, "I'll eventually come for you two as well, so please don't be too bothered by loneliness as this game right here is mine."

The two were suddenly thrown flying into a tree where their bodies collapsed limply.

"Hmm? What's this sister? Of course I know that I promised not to hurt them! But I just couldn't let them be killed as a result of the fight!"

"Well then, I guess there's not much point in asking, but care to play?" Asked Hisoka.

"Now now, You can't, as a fully grown man ask that question to a little girl, Hisoka. You never know when someone could get the wrong idea!" Bloody Mary said.

The sound of a blade being dug into flesh sounded in the air. Bloody Mary had picked up one of the dead's weapon and flung it at Hisoka from his blind spot. Or so she thought, he jumped into the air as the blade found its way into Mary's neck.

"I see, it was a good attempt, but unfortunately your one trick didn't seem to work out for you." Hisoka said, beginning to walk away from the "dead" little girl.

Taking out the blade with two hands, the corpse pouted, "that's very rude Hisoka! What if I got hurt!?" She asked with crocodile tears streaming down her face as she lodged the blade into her own hand to form a pseudo knife. "Now wouldn't you say it's time we actually get started?"

Mary lunged towards Hisoka while trying to cut open his stomach in a way that would barely let him live. Hisoka, in turn sidestepped her while reaching for her neck. Mary, then realizing that she stood no chance against Hisoka normally began to spread a milky white substance over her entire body. Nen. By using this she was able to adapt to Hisoka's movements somewhat, as the fight truly began.

"Oh? Truth be told I was not expecting another nen user among the applicants other than him..."

"Oh? Truth be told, I was not expecting a clown who doesn't tell jokes during a performance." Smiled Bloody Mary as she twisted her back inhumanly with the wire in her hands in order to kick Hisoka away from her.

"I am beginning to get curious about you, little girl." Said Hisoka with a smile on his face as a bit of blood found it's way into his mouth.

"Eeeek! That's very scary mister! I-I don't think I can really help you with that." Bloody Mary said with a blush, openly mocking Hisoka. "A-all I ask is that you be gentle, after all, I don't know if I can handle it." She said as she released her bloodlust towards Hisoka, who released his in response. The two waves cancelled each other out, because although Bloody Mary had killed far more than Hisoka had, his nen increased the potency of his bloodlust.

The two stopped talking as they continued their match. Mary tried the same thing as before, landing a shallow cut on Hisoka's clothing, only for her face to be met with the ground as Hisoka punched the back of her head, immobilizing her for a few seconds as he followed up with a kick that sent her flying to the same tree she had thrown Kurapika and Leorio into. She tried to stand up as quickly as possible as she grabbed something from Leorio and put it in her mouth. She then attacked Hisoka with a bunch of nen-infused wires that connected themselves to the corpses lying about as she controlled them to attack Hisoka, in order to buy her enough time to get her senses back in order. However, in a moment the wires were all cut by a playing card followed by an imaginary pink stroke of light. "Oh is that all you've got?" Asked Hisoka.

Bloody Mary did not respond as she still used the wires to weave together a sort of net that shot towards Hisoka at a ridiculous speed, ripping through the air with a high pitched sound.

[Pathetic] thought Hisoka as he once again prepared to cut the wires until his senses told him something was off about the wires, very, very off.
