Looking down at the metal stuck in his chest Leon collapsed to his knees blood rising from his lips, " Whoops my fingers slipped, but tell me how does it feel to be killed by your own weapon. " Curling up on his side Leon's face became blue as coughed speckling the arena with bright red droplets. Walking over Hisoka knelt next to Leon putting his finger under Leon's chin, looking the assassin in the eyes Hisoka smiled, " I love that look of defiance in your eyes I can't wait to see it slowly fade as you die. "
With a surge of strength, Leon grabbed Hisoka's forearm, " I..have..to say you almost had me. " With a sickening crunch, Leon shattered Hisoka's arm turning the flesh purple and blue with his strength. Reeling from the pain Hisoka was prepared for the two follow-up strikes both to his ribs, vomiting a mouthful of blood Hisoka collapsed not attempting to get back up.
" You're one tricky bastard if I had reacted a split second later my heart would have been pierced. " Lifting up his shirt Leon revealed that the skin around the kunai was pulled inward keeping the blade entrapped and not letting any blood out. Grunting as he pulled out his projectile Leon stored it back in its rightful place, " Thank's for giving me a challenge the other guys were chum, well see you around. "
After landing a total of four critical hits Leon won the match by TKO, " Well there you have it folks the Conductor steals his seventh win making him the fastest rising fighter in Heaven Arena history. And it looks like the Clown Prince will be spending a few days in the hospital after taking his first loss. "
Hisoka didn't move as he was wheeled out on a stretcher, ' Leon Zoldyck, you got the best of me I guess this means I need to step up. I need to start training again so the next time we meet I'll see that look in your eyes again. "
Back in his room Leon bandaged his wound stitching together the skin before wrapping his chest with gauze. Sighing Leon put on a new shirt throwing the ruined one away, ' Only three more matches before I can challenge a floor master, after that, I'm going back to Meteor City I don't need to work contracts anymore. ' Yawning Leon jumped into bed swearing that he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow.
Waking up Leon winced as the wound on his chest throbbed, ' Damnit it better not be infected, I hate the taste of medicine. ' Scowling Leon showered before leaving his room pulling up his hood Leon left Heavens Arena entering the city, entering a familiar cafe Leon found himself a table and it wasn't long before someone walked over to take his order.
Placing his order Leon laughed inwardly at the fact that he was eating at the place Hisoka had introduced him to, ' How he was able to stab me with my own weapon is a mystery, what happened before that he opened his arms. He could have used In to hide his Nen but that wouldn't have hidden the dagger, is that his other ability making other objects invisible. '
Shaking his head Leon looked down at the tea and pastries that the waiter had dropped off, grinning Leon picked up one filled with raspberry jam before eating the tart in one bite. The sugar and buttery bread calmed his mind a little but the fight still had its effect on Leon, ' When's the last time I had someone gain the upper hand on me in a fight, Hisoka will defiantly try and fight me again so I better be prepared. '
Reaching into his pocket Leon pulled out the family communicator waiting for a second before his call was answered, " Is there something you need brother. " Leon took another pastry shoving it in his mouth, " Yeah...that Hisoka guy what's the deal with him, if you tell me everything you know I'll forgive you trying to interrogate me. "
There was a pause on the other side before Illumi started to talk, " I met Hisoka in Glam Gas Land where I was hired to kill a serial killer called John Doe who happened to be Hisoka's ringleader Moritonio. Hisoka ended up killing him before I could, nullifying my contract. He ended up following me and we have become acquaintances. "
Sighing Leon rubbed his forehead, " I don't want to know about your relationship I want to know about his capabilities, have you ever fought him the bastard was closer to killing me than anyone before. "
Illumi was almost silent for a full minute before he resumed, " I know he mainly uses playing cards as his main weapon along with his nen ability Bungee Gum, other than that I don't have a clue. "
Thinking it over Leon ate another pastry, " Well thanks anyway, I'll see you soon. " Hanging up Leon finished his snack before paying and leaving, " I should have watched more of his fights, I won't be taken by surprise again. "
