After discharged from the hospital and meeting with the Zoldycks, Illumi had offered to rent out a home for the twins; which just so happened to be an apartment and their floor being really high up. It had a balcony with floral decorations that consisted of red roses, white roses, purple-blueish flowers, pink lilies, yellow lilies, and dragon tongue flowers; in the middle of the balcony held a transparent glass table with four seats around it. A vase with lavenders in the middle gave off a wonderful scent that wafted through the air.

The interior held a large living room with a kitchen not too far off on the side, it was close to the entryway of the room. A flat-screen T.V was up on a wall with two couches facing it and a coffee table in between the T.V and Couches. Soft carpeting masked the living room's space whilst beautiful hardwood flooring coated the space of the kitchen. Lavenders were the main decor of the interior, giving it a comfortable feel throughout the dwelling.

Yesterday was unexpected...to be honest. Rui finally got someone who actually accepts her for who she is and here I am, watching over Rui like a... Dare I say it... Hawk... she mentally mumbled to herself with a sweatdrop falling down her head and folded her arms. I don't care too much about relationships though, then again... Hisoka... Maybe... Ruby's voice echoed through her mind as she went into their bedroom and laid on the bed with her eyes closed.

The next day, out of the blue, the cordless phone in her dwelling rang on the wall nearby waking Ruby and her twin up. Her twin was on a separate bed not too far from her, with amazing speed, Rui flashed right over to the ringing nuisance and picked up the call.

"Mushy-mushy?~ I-I mean, Hello?" she asked playfully, murmurs were heard over the phone in response to Rui. "Okay! I'll let her know, Hisoka!" Rui replied eagerly then hung up. She turned to see Ruby, who had a quirked brow as if saying, the hell?

"Hisoka want's to go on a date with you, nee-chan!~" Rui happily jumped up and down, rapidly clapping her hands in excitement. The hawk twin sweatdropped, narrowed eyes then flopped back under her blankets, with a noticeable flush on cheeks.

"Iiee-!" Ruby replied in Romaji Japanese with an irritated voice, still hiding under the blanket.

"Oh, c'mon sis! Why won't you give him another chance?!" As soon as she ended her sentence, it wasn't a second later for Ruby to snap.

"I SAID NO RUI! He pained me... Even though he said he'd never hurt me, I still-" Ruby was cut off by Rui's arms being wrapped around her on the bed. Rui laid beside her, curled up against her back into her feathers, and began to sob silently. "Rui..." Ruby muttered to herself then closed her eyes.

"Please... Do it for me... You're not the only one that's trying to protect here... I don't like seeing you lonely... I want to see you truly happy..." Ruby turned to face her on the bed, saw her twin look up at her with a wet face, and it made her heart clench.

"Rui... I am happy... Cause I have you...my sister," Ruby whispered before curling her feathered wings around both of them.

"Your pain is my pain, your sorrow is my sorrow, your happiness is my happiness, your blood is my blood.....Our DNA is owned by each other... We are twins... Yet nonidentical... Seeing you deny the love you have for Hisoka, despite your past experience...is hurting me because... I can see that it's hurting you..." Rui nuzzled into her twin then closed her eyes. "Please... Learn to accept him, he loves you... That much I know," She whispered, felt Ruby nod in approval and her wings close in more.

"Alright... It may take some time, but... I'll try," Ruby softly began to rub the top of her twin's head reassuringly, as if she were a mother that's trying to comfort her daughter.

~~~Some hours later~~~

Ruby was trailing down the halls of the apartment after having a second call from Hisoka stating the time and place of the date, she appeared rather annoyed by the fact that she had to do this, Rui insisted.

Making her way out of the building, she headed down the sidewalk with a scowl on her features. The Amusement park... Out of all places, why did he have to pick the most crowded of areas...? Does he WANT people to stare at me...? She ranted in her mind before deciding to take to the sky. Flying there would be faster than walking; though with a quick glance, she couldn't help but take notice of a strange man. All within seconds, she took in his features. Pale skin, a white robe that almost looked like a bathrobe, white bandage wrappings that masked his entire upper head including his eyes. His mouth was quite strange... Full pale, pink lips that looked as if they were wet, his upper lip in the shape of a wide W and his lower lip a normal shape. It startled her, just by the sight of him. She couldn't put her finger on it, something about him made her feel woozy.

Why was that creep watching me...? I couldn't read his expression...but I could make out the emotion I felt, that came from him. He was up to something... There was no emotion that held attraction towards me, no interest in any way except... She questioned and trailed off in her mind. In side-view, it showed her stern features twitch from the thought. "I'll have to keep a sharp eye around myself... The way he was looking at me, was as if he was expecting something to happen...." she muttered to herself this time. Her voice sounded rather shaken up, something about him made her feel uneasy. Usually, it takes a lot to scare her, not even Hisoka or Illumi could spook her as that guy did.

~~~At the theme park~~~

Ruby was landing softly whilst rapidly flapping her wings to keep herself balanced. Once she landed, she looked up and to her surprise, there stood Hisoka; as if he knew exactly where she'd drop by. The redhead smirked rather contently with a faint flush on his face but changed into a concerned looked. He saw a bit of fright in Ruby's eyes, he knew she had an iron will with a strong backbone.

Curious, he strode over to stand in front of her while gazing deep into her eyes. Her eyes were wavering, yet she still tried to keep a straight and serious face. "Tell me...Ruby gem~ Who was it that startled my little birdie...?~" He cooed, effortlessly keeping his concerned face hidden. His casual mocking smirk on his lips masked his building anger.

"A man... I saw a man who looked rather inhuman... Pale skin, pale pink lips in the shape of a W, and white bandage wrappings around his head; it even covered his eyes. I saw him watching me from below when I took off flying... Just looking at him, I could tell something was up. He's up to something and it's not anything pleasant, I know, I could feel it in the pit of my stomach... Literally..." Her voice shuddered, mixing in with her deep tone. She covered her mouth with one hand as her hawk eyes shut and held her stomach with the other hand, barely leaning forward.

Hisoka's nen began to rise slightly, keeping his expression in view but deep down he wanted to run off and find the bastard. However, he knew that if he were to take action now, he'd ruin his first date ever, with Ruby. "Don't worry your little head, dear.~ I'll make sure no one..." He trailed off for a second before continuing, pops out a card and his grinning face turned dark with a touch of insanity in it. "Will harm you,~" He mischievously spoke the last part, almost dementedly.

Ruby's eyes widened, not from fear but from shock. Her mouth parted a little after lowering her hands back down. She composed herself then took a deep breath whilst closing her eyes, in the process. "There is no need for violence, Hisoka..." Crossing her arms, she planted her eyes on the protective joker.

"Oh, but there is... You see if anyone tries to damage my toys... They better had already made their Will,~" His voice was dark but had a cheerful look to him. "Anywhoooo!~ What ride would you like to go on?" He began walking with his eyes closed, at some point he had shoved his hands in his pockets. Ruby followed alongside him and kept her arms folded.

"How about..." She trailed off and darted her head in many directions. She and her twin had never been to a theme park before. There were all kinds of things to do, despite the stern expression she was really nervous. She spotted a very tall-looking ride, it had to be ten stories...MAYBE. She pointed to the tall ride with Hisoka following her finger, only to smirk at her first choice.

"How are you going to fit your wings in there, hm?~" He cooed in question and almost chuckled by her blunt choice.

"I- I'll find a way..." she stuttered in reply and nervously averted her attention to the side. Ruby walked down to the roller coaster that reached the clouds, she looked amazed. Not once had she seen something tall like that before, besides the heavens tower that held the arena. It's been a while since I've gone in the heavens arena... I wonder why I didn't go back...? Oh!... That's why... She spoke in her mind; remembering the whole kidnapping and the fight with Mr. Kane. She felt that it was too good to be true, to have gotten rid of SGSF. Something just felt so off to her as if something bigger was coming. She gulped at the thought, suddenly she felt a hand gently resting on her shoulder. Looking up over to Hisoka, a smirk was seen it wasn't his usual mocking mess, it was more of a passive grin.

"My little birdie, we're almost to the roller coaster.~" He paused after his sentence then hinted towards another subject. "If you get scared, you may hold on to me.~" He said in a reassuring way as if he knew she was afraid of something else. His eyes narrowed with his passive smile and pulled her closer into a small embrace, whilst pacing toward the line of people.

Five minutes had passed and they were finally allowed on. Ruby sat in the front row with Hisoka but had her wings tucked in so tight that it almost hurt. Hisoka gestured to open her two wings on his side so she could wrap them around him. Ruby blushed slightly but did it regardless since it'd relieve some of the pain on her wings.

Hisoka's cheeks were flushed lightly as he nuzzled a bit into her side. He felt the silky softness of her feathers brush against his skin. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders made Ruby's face turn into a tomato and caused her to go rigid, but tried so hard to hide that fact by keeping a stoic look. "H-Hisoka... Must you be so close...?" Questioning hesitantly, only to hear him chuckle to himself at her reaction.

"Of course.~ Wouldn't want the wind from the ride catching you by your wings and making you fly out of your seat.~" He nearly cracked by that joke but kept it to himself. He noticed Ruby's face go beyond the color of a tomato and still had her stern face. He knew that he was finally getting somewhere with her, he still wanted to fight her too but he knew, he would have to wait a while before ever doing so.

The ride had finally started and the carts began to pull upward, up the track's hill. As soon as the carts paused on the top, she looked down in amazement which soon, turned into dread, once she saw that familiar guy from before. It was as if time itself had stopped, as well all the sound around them when she saw him. That freak was watching her from the distance, like before; everything was in slow motion as the ride began to fall down the hill. Her hawk eyes followed the man as he stood still when the carts fell, shock written on her face. He was just on the other side of Hisoka, watching from below among the crowd of people.

After the ride had ended and they had gotten off, Ruby was literally shaking from the sight of him. Her pupils smaller and her eyes wider; Hisoka took notice and looked angrily concerned.

"My dear Ruby gem~ Was that ride, scary?~" He asked in a mocking way; he saw her walk closer to his side more in fear which rather surprised him.

"I saw him...before we went down the track's hill... He was watching me... Again," She replied with a shaky breath and was glad she left Soren with Rui before she left. Cause Soren would've probably taken off after that guy at the first sight of him. She gripped the hilt of her sword in fright, as she gazed at the pavement Hisoka and her were walking on.

"Let's go on the Ferris Wheel then,~" He spoke muscly. I must do something before this date's ruined, by whoever keeps spying on my little Gem... he irritably stated in his head. They both made their way to the Ferris wheel and took their seats. Luckily the line wasn't long; they both sat there in silence after the ride started. He looked over at her, she was across from him and her golden eyes facing the floor.

"Hisoka... I.....want to tell you something..." She muttered in mourn, hoping the topic will take her mind off of that weirdo.

"Hoooo~...? My little birdie wants to speak to me?" He teasingly cooed in amusement, leaning forward a bit more to show he was interested.

Ruby nodded after looking out the window. "I've kept this from my sister since the day we tested ourselves, to see which nen type we had; please don't tell her..." Her eyes held deep thought, as she peered through the glass.

"I'm listening, do go on.~" He reassured her, placing his elbows on his knees while still leaned over and resting his chin, in the middle of his intertwined fingers.

"I'm... A specialist... I wanted to stay as close to my sister as possible, doing so... I told her that I was the same as her... Told her that, I too, was a conjurer and an enhancer. I've only mastered conjuration and enhancement, so I could prove to her that I was the same...but... I combined manipulation with conjuration, so I could control light and use it at will. I use the Shakespearean language to make my attacks stronger; may it be in my head or vocally. I use my rapier as a catalyst to make my conjured light stronger as well. In other words... Conjuring light, coating it on my blade so I can manipulate it and use Shakespearean tongue, as the key to make it stronger. When I attack with just my free hand, I conjure light into my palm. When I attack with my sword without it being coated or use my manipulated conjured light, I enhance its sharpness and durability so it can cut through nearly anything, depending on who or what I'm cutting of course..." she explained and held in a breath she didn't know she had.

"If Rui were to find out my secret... We'd be a little less bonded as twins, she would be upset..." She closed her eyes at the last sentence. Hisoka began to groan in interest, he had a feeling she was different. No conjurer, Enhancer can be strong like her, taking Rui for example.

"How rather interesting, what do you plan on training in, then? If the secret got out to Rui on its own?" He didn't plan on revealing her secret but he merely asked, if the worst were to happen.

"Then... I'd train in nearly all the categories of nen. In Emission, I would train to make my aura in the shape of a diamond, to make it a defense mechanism. They say diamonds can cut through anything; wouldn't that mean, that diamonds can't break easily? If so then... I'd turn my aura into a diamond for sheer defense, though I wouldn't be able to move around freely since I'd basically be trapped in a thick layer of minerals, knowing Diamonds aren't hollow." she started and started to ponder on the possibilities she could do. "With Transmutation: I'd use my aura to mimic water and combine it with frost, to make ice... Hm..." She began to think deeply until she was interrupted by Hisoka.

"My-my, you truly do think hard.~ I like that. Turning your aura into water?~ How fascinating.~ How would you combine it with frost, if your aura is water?" He asked with amusement on his face.

"Easy... While my aura is water... I'd combine it with emission, separating my aura from exhaling out into a blow, to make a frosted breath so that way... I could harden my watered aura into ice," She opened her eyes and looked over to Hisoka, though flinched at the unexpected look he had. He looked thrilled, intrigued by her explanation.

"Mmmm....~ You never cease to amaze me... Especially your wits, my dear Ruby gem.~" he cooed, stood up, and walked over to sit next to her. He noticed how dark it was getting and the ride had finally stopped, as soon as he sat down. He wondered why the ride took so long to stop, then planted his hand on Ruby's to make sure she'd look at him.

Ruby looked over as if on cue, Hisoka kissed her passionately on lips; it so quick that she hadn't had the time to even think. Her eyes widened whilst her face turned deep red, her first kiss taken by the one man that she loved long ago. Time froze as they both sat there peering into each other's gaze. Don't know what to think, how to act, what to say... What to do. He slowly closed his eyes then held her closer against him, she didn't refuse him but she also didn't kiss back... She was frozen.
