BIRTHDAY WISHES

♥

     There was a moment of silence shared between the two. All Hisoka could do, however, was laugh. The blank stare on Emiko's face was priceless. Though she snapped out of her trance and landed her head back on the seat.

     "Happy Birthday then. You know, this is the least thing I expected." She congratulates.

     "Think again.~ ♦" From what started as a mischievous smile turned into an innocent one, with eyes closed included. It's a rare grin she doesn't get to see everyday but it made her wonder even more. Is there something I'm missing?

     At the airport curb, there was a dark limousine with the driver waiting, hands behind his back. He greeted Hisoka, specifically referring to him as the 'Great Magician.' The driver introduced himself as Hisoka walked into the back seats. Inside the limousine, it was dimmed purple lights and an empty bar at the end. The empty seats all across the inside made her wonder about the amount of people that can fit. Eleven... maybe twelve people. Though he seems to be very respected. Questions, questions.

    As she was in deep thought, all he could do is stare her up and down. Not only did he decide to sit across the limousine but was building a house of cards.

     "Do you know why I do this so often?~ ♣" He sparks up a conversation.

     "No but now I'm curious." Emiko replies, leaning on her crossed leg.

     "Everytime I'm remotely anxious, I pull out my deck of cards.~ ♣" He explains, taking a final card and placing it at the top of the rows. "That or I'm just bored. But never with you my darling.~ ♥"

     "Do I just never bore? How nice of you..." She holds a threatening gaze despite her flirtatious body language. The label 'surprise' can easily camouflage a trap he set up, or a job she hasn't consented to participate in. Trust issues can drive one nuts especially with a psychopath that dresses nicely. He's smart, there's no doubt about that, but I can't predict his intentions. Ever.

     "That's correct. What'd you expect? You sound disappointed.~ ♠" He squints his eyes out the window. We're nearing the final destination.

     "I expect nothing more, nothing less." She leaves him with enough mystery as he has for the last two days. He knows what's expected coming from someone like Emiko. Although, he's been quite the entertainment as usual.

     "Oh, how could I forget? You'll be having your own set of clothes for the next few days.~ ♥" Hisoka tilts his head and cracks an adorable smile. When did he get so wholesome? Impossible. Just a few weeks ago I had to supervise the monster called 'Bloodlust' that he can't even control. Then again, I'm not much to talk.

     "How would you know if I like the wardrobe you picked out?" She asks.

     "I've seen enough clothes on and off you to know.~ ♦" That smug smile never left his face.

     Motion on the limousine seem to have come to a halt and she was left eager to jump out the door. At stepping off, Hisoka helps her find a steady balance off the car and the presence of 'over-populated city' slapped her in the face. Polluted air, loud construction work, busy roads, and drowned out noises of large crowds. It's of a familiar city but not of one she personally recognizes. The sudden rush of many flavorful aura surrounded her. It wasn't threatening, no, it was more playful. At turning around, Emiko faces a building she'd never seen before. Maybe not a building but a structure. Is this...
