non 'typical' big cats

"Long time no see, Chiya."

Just when Qi Ya assumed a fighting posture and was about to attack first, the strange man in front of him who was full of nails suddenly called out his name in an extremely familiar voice.Under everyone's surprised faces, this ugly man with nails instantly turned into a handsome and ascetic young man with long black hair. Seeing this familiar face, Qi Ya took a step back in horror and cried out weakly.

"...Brother."

This is... Qi Ya's big brother? !Xiaojie, Kurapika, and Leorio all showed expressions of disbelief. After all, no one pointed out that this person was a fake during the nearly one-month exam time. The eldest son, Qi Ya's family members... are indeed not ordinary people.

"Illumi..." I stared blankly at the man standing in the middle of the ring. After nearly 2 years, I never thought that the scene would be like this when we met again. But at this moment, I realized that...even with the passage of time, this man It has long been deeply imprinted in my heart, as if it has never left, it is still so vivid.

"Sister Hiro...do you know Kiya's big brother?" Xiaojie raised his head and asked me, Kurapika and Leorio also looked over.

"Yeah." I answered absently, suddenly feeling a little uneasy for some reason, Qi Ya... seemed to be very afraid of Illumi.

"I heard that you stabbed Mommy and Miji... Mommy is crying." Illumi slightly lowered his head to look at the nervous Qiya.

"Eh?!" After hearing what Illumi said, Leori complained to Kurapika while pointing at Kiya on the stage in a panic.

"Nonsense, it's no wonder you don't cry after being treated like this by your own son!"

"...Mom said she was very happy when you grew up. But I didn't expect that you would take the hunter exam." The unexpected answer brought gasps from all around, and even Kurapika couldn't help it The corner of his mouth twitched, while Xiaojie had a very serious expression from the beginning to the end, and his whole body was tensely staring at the stage.

"I... don't want to be a hunter, but I just have time so I'll give it a try." The eldest brother will take the hunter exam... I can't think of this weird person even if I have 100 brain holes. Follow me all the way?The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, but for a moment, Qi Ya's head was covered with cold sweat.

"Really, then I'm relieved." Illumi tilted his head, his black cat eyes made it hard to see his emotions.

"Qi Ya, you are not suitable to be a hunter at all. You are a dark puppet without humanity... You have no desires, no intentions, darkness is the force you rely on for survival, and the only joy for you is to kill people. When you grow up, you were raised by me and my father in this way."

A trace of pain flashed across Qi Ya's eyes like a shooting star, and it was very painful for him to be reminded of the dark childhood memories. At this time, Xiaojie's warm smile flashed in his mind again, and he raised his head to meet Illumi's sight firmly. , gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.

"...Even if I have something I want too, brother...isn't it the same."

After he finished speaking, Illumi suddenly fell silent. Although the aura on his body was still scary, it was obviously this confusing sentence that successfully interrupted Ilumi's next plan.Seeing that the situation has improved, Qi Ya expresses his thoughts in pursuit of the victory.

"I'm tired of killing people, I want to be with my friends."

"Friend?" It was another word that touched Illumi's nerves. He turned his gaze to the side, and Xiaojie's upright and stubborn eyes came into his eyes... He turned his head and said to Qiya.

"How do you have friends? You only judge whether this person can kill or not... Ah, have you already become friends? Well... what should I do, then kill it, um, that's the decision. In this way, Xiaojie's life and death were decided lightly and privately, which not only made the already extremely nervous Kiya on the verge of collapse, but also made Leorio and Kurapika on the other side like a formidable enemy.

I stared at the big one and the young one on the stage, and listening to the conversation between them, I suddenly felt a sadness in my heart, as if someone was yelling in my head, 'No, that's not the case! ', but every time I want to pursue it carefully, all the clues disappear again.

"Qi Ya!" Seeing Xiaojie's angry face, he probably couldn't bear it any longer, and Illumi on the stage didn't give Qi Ya any chance to breathe this time, he stretched out his right hand to Qi Ya Slowly approaching, an invisible pressure rushed towards Qiya, who subconsciously wanted to avoid but was warned by Illumi in the next second.

"Don't move. One move means the battle begins, and there is only one way for me to stop... You know that, Chiya."

"...Asshole!" I grabbed Jay just before he couldn't help but rush out, shook my head at him and walked forward instead of him.

"Kiya, throw in the towel." I said to him calmly, while giving Illumi a sneaky look.

"Don't fight someone who is stronger than you...you can't beat him." The words flowed out of my mouth without thinking about it, and I rubbed my painful forehead with my hands with a little discomfort.

The scene was dead silent, Qi Ya raised his head and looked at Illumi under invisible pressure, then turned his head to look at me, and finally lowered his head and said three words softly.

"I surrender."

After he finished speaking, he walked directly past the others and walked to the wall in silence, like a puppet that has been beaten to pieces and no one wants to talk to anyone who comes over. Xiaojie wanted to go up and say something, but was stopped by the considerate Kurapika At this time, it may be better for him to calm himself down than to comfort others.

Illumi, who had easily won a victory, walked off the stage, but at this time the eyes of the people looking at him were more or less vigilant or hostile. With his disguise off, he just stood there casually and had an existence that people could not ignore It's hard to imagine that he could hide so naturally among the candidates before.

"Qi Ya, my brother lied to you when he said he wanted to kill him... You wouldn't turn against your brother for a kid, would you?" Although Illumi explained this to Qi Ya after the game, he did not succeed in getting the latter's favor. Forgiving, he shrugged and walked to the side, and managed to get a warning look from Hisoka when he passed by Hisoka.

When Xiaojie and the others put all their attention on Chiya, I sneaked up to Nitro and asked him a few questions before leaving the hall.

"Huh..." I, who had never been soft-hearted before killing anyone, would actually feel my heart beating like a drum just because of the appearance of a man. I stood at the entrance of the corridor and patted my face hard.Take heart, Hiro, you are so worthless!I kept telling myself to be calm, but my heart still missed a whole beat when the voice sounded from behind.

"Long time no see." My body was so stiff that I didn't dare to look back. The past scenes of getting along with each other since the exam started were replayed in my mind like a slow motion. I thought that I not only accepted the gift from the other party stupidly, but also ate the food baked by him with peace of mind. , and even broke into the men's bathroom by mistake...

"Yo... Long time no see, Illumi." I turned around and backed away slowly in an attempt to keep a safe distance from him, but obviously my damn premonition came true again this time, as expected once I got involved with a man... nothing good would happen .

The rapidly approaching body stuck me firmly in the corner of the wall. He lowered his head and looked at me expressionlessly, with some kind of violent emotion in his dark eyes... Just when I couldn't help but look away, a sudden One hand squeezed my chin tightly, and then a black shadow fell down.

"...Hmm! Mmmmm?!" This man, who seemed to be rather restrained, used an unquestionably domineering way to blatantly...kiss a woman in this public place? !I stared at him with wide eyes, and this guy actually bit me lightly.

"Concentrate." He covered my eyes with his right hand while talking, and then locked me in his arms forcefully again.

"Yi...!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he took the opportunity to stick his tongue in. The hot and domineering heat scared me so much that I almost bit down, but at the next moment he insisted on binding my wrists tightly with more force than mine. Pressing firmly on my back, the other hand covering my eyes loosened and turned to fix the back of my head.

He didn't get up until the tip of his tongue, which was constantly being chased and entangled, felt numb, and an ambiguous silver thread was pulled out between the lips that were connected and pressed together a second ago. The lack of oxygen made my eyes dark, and my chest seemed to be pressed. I hit a stone... I grabbed the front of his clothes and panted for a while before I recovered, but this man tilted his head slightly to look at me as if nothing happened.

"You...playing a hooligan, you!"

"... Playing hooligans?" He repeated my words in confusion, and I scolded myself for being a fool. This fool doesn't understand what it means to be a hooligan. Isn't this digging a hole for myself!

"Anyway, you, you... stay away from me." I can't communicate with this kind of person, and unlike the spiders who came here hard, this man plays cards even more unreasonably, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

"Hero, come home with me." Although there are still a few months before the three-year period, if Hero wants to, then he can find another reason to shirk.

"Although you saved me once, I don't seem to be familiar with you." After calming down, I shook my hands and broke free from his control, not turning my head to look at him on purpose.

"...Unfamiliar? You must have misremembered. Have you forgotten that we have a marriage contract?" I twitched the corners of my mouth as I listened to this black-bellied man who had just molested me open his eyes and talk nonsense. I had heard him say that before. I'm his wife or something, how is that possible? !

"You recognized the wrong person." After I finished speaking, I turned around and left. After walking a few steps quickly, I didn't hear the footsteps following me. With extremely complicated emotions, I closed my eyes and left this place cruelly.

The eastern corridor outside the examination room——

"Hmm~ Did I bother you?" A red figure hung from the ceiling in the corridor, which turned out to be Hisoka who was supposed to be in the examination room.

Illumi frowned and glanced at Hisoka beside him, his whole body exuded an extremely displeased breath, obviously annoyed at being interrupted at the critical moment of chasing his wife.

"Well, I just want to remind you...don't do anything to other people's fruits~" Hisoka, who was surprised to see a good show, licked his lips playfully, but there was a solid warning in the upturned phoenix eyes. It seems that he really minds Illumi's previous remarks about killing Xiaojie.

"Well, I've given up on killing him, Hisoka." Illumi held his chin in thought for a while and then looked sideways at Hisoka.

"So you will keep things about Hero a secret, right?" Although his tone remained unchanged, Illumi's face was far less polite than what he said, and the rare experience of being 'threatened' by a friend made Xi Suo felt very novel, and saw his silver eyes instantly turned into dazzling gold because of excitement.

"Of course~" Hisoka readily agreed. At this time, Illumi really thought that Hiro had temporarily escaped the spider's control, and then he only needed to find a way to abduct Hiro back home.
