Alyssa's POV.

"Go on, little girl! Don't be shy and take the orders of our customers." Najenda said as she slapped my back.

"B-But...this costume is too much." I blushed as I began fidgeting.

"Look now, do you want to earn a huge amount of money?! If you do, stop being shy and do your job!" she encouraged me with a huge smile.

"Y-Yes, mam!" I scoffed, running to the counter.

She's right. If I want to earn money, I have to work first...I'll do my best! I thought as I grabbed a notepad and pen with me and headed to a table.

Once I reached the lone customer, there I saw a man whose name that I do not know of. He had those pink curly hair, clothes of a performer, and he also had a painting on his face. Also, his skin was extremely fair, I am nowhere in comparison.

He looks like a clown... I thought.

"U-Um...may I take your order, mister?" I asked gently.

He turned his head and faced me, now that I got a better look on his face, he was quite a good looking! His lips curved in a smile...or rather a smirk?

"My, my...what a cute little rabbit. I didn't know this cafe had a child as a staff here, shorthanded, maybe?" he commented.

"Actually...I'll be only working here just for today." I smiled, it would be rude if I didn't replied.

"Oh? Is that right? Well, good luck." he smiled back, but somewhat...his smile was kind of cold.

This person...I sense danger from him. I must not go further involve with him. I thought as I felt a creepy aura from him. I didn't liked it one bit.

"I'll just order a slice of lemon cake and a coffee." he stated.

"Lemon cake...and coffee." I stated while writing down on my notepad.

I closed the notepad afterwards and turned to him, "I got it."

Then I smiled once again, "I hope you enjoyed here in the Rabbit Cafe."

I bent my back down in sign of respect for our customers. "Please excuse me, mister."

I turned around as I lifted my heel to walk towards the counter when I heard him sigh and said something that I didn't expect him to say.

"You stink..."

I flinched as I turned around with bubbly tears running from my eyes, "I-I stink...? Seriously...?"

I don't usually smell...sure, my armpits are wet but they don't smell! I thought, completely embarrassed.

"The scent of the Witch's curse...is dozed all over you, little girl."

My eyes widened after what he said, my whole body seem to froze. I couldn't move, I was too scared that I even halted my breathings.

"Are you perhaps related to her?"

"Who are you referring to, dear customer...?"

"Oh, don't play dumb with me. You know who I'm talking about."

At that moment, my whole body began to tremble in fear, the anxiety that I felt made my knees to tremble. A cold sweat broke from my forehead as my breathing pattern were rasped.

"You're shaking, my dear." he says as his cold finger wipes away the tear from my eye, I didn't even realized that I was practically crying.

I gasped from the sudden contact as I unconsciously moved away from him, my body suddenly reacted.

"Are you really that scared...?" he smirked as he was about to reach his hand towards me when I heard a voice from my back.

"What do you think you're doing to Alyssa, Hisoka?!"

I felt someone grabbed my hand as I turned and saw Killua who was furious all of the sudden.

"My, I never expected that we will cross fates here...Killua." the man said.

"Eh? Do you know him, Killua?" I asked him as he nodded.

"Yeah. We met sometimes back then, but in what I can see is, he can't be trusted. His a dangerous guy." he said.

"What an scary introduction you have there, she'll get the wrong impression of me. Despite this, I actually care about my appearance." the guy called Hisoka said.

"Wait, if you're here...then I should say that Gon is also here?" he said again.

"Let's go." Killua said as he pulled me away from the dangerous guy.

"Have no shame of wearing a embarrassing bunny clothing, Killua?" the man asked as he blushed.

"Shut up!" Killua yelled, still pulling me away from him.

"Don't forget my order, little girl~!" he chirped as Killua continued pulling me.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

"I knew that it was a bad idea to work here." he growled as he threw the bunny ears headband on the table.

"Yes, maybe it is..." I said as I looked down on my shoes.

"I never expected that Hisoka would come here, of all places...why here?!" he growled.

Yeah...why here? And why now? I thought.

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?! Did Hisoka touched you?" Killua began to bombard me with tons of questions.

"N-No, he didn't! Don't worry..." I reassured him with a faint smile.

"Good...so what was his order?" he asked me as I flipped open my notepad.

"A slice of lemon cake and a cup of coffee." I stated.

"I see...you go and take the other customer's orders while I take this order to Hisoka's table, got it?" he said.

"B-But...!" I protested.

"No buts, just listen to me. You may have realized but Hisoka is a pedophile." he interjected.

"W-What?!" I was flabbergasted.

"He is after Gon back then, even now! His tastes are creepy so it'll be the best if you have nothing to do with him." he warned me.

"I got it." I answered.

He patted my head, "Good. It would be bad if you were chased by a weirdo, wouldn't it?"

I laughed. "Yeah."

I can sense danger from that man, I am afraid that my secret may be spoiled because of him.

Killua's POV.

"Here's your order." I placed the plate of lemon cake and a cup of coffee on his table with a thud and a huff escaped my lips.

"Oh? Where's the little rabbit?" he purred, asking me.

"Somewhere out of your reach." I replied casually.

"What's this? It's unexpected of you to act like this towards a female, are you perhaps already attracted to her?" he teased.

"A-Attracted? To that crybaby?! No way!" I stuttered.

"You say that, but we both know you think otherwise." he smirked.

"Shut up and mind your own business, Hisoka!" I yelled, blushing furiously.

He chuckled, "You're blushing...how cute."

Damn this creepy clown. I thought.

"But your love will kill you." he suddenly stated as he cut down the cake and bit one.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I frowned.

"I'll give you a warning..." he says as he turned his head.

I trailed to where he was looking and it was at Alyssa who was taking orders from the perverted man that Nee-chan dealt with earlier.

"Don't you dare look at Alyssa with those perverted eyes of yours!" I warned.

He seem to ignore my warning as he continued looking, a vein popped on my forehead, feeling pissed.

"Hey! Are you even listeni—"

"You need to kill that girl soon as possible, she is your biggest threat."

I grabbed his collar and raised it up as I glared at him in great rage, I was really angry when he told me that.

"Are you insane? She is my friend! There is no way that I'm going to kill her. You idiot!" I growled.

"She is my friend...huh? If that's the case, why couldn't you sense it?" he asked me.

"Sense what?" I asked, still gripping on his collar.

"The Witch's Curse...it's all over her." he muttered.

"The Witch's Curse? What's that...?" I asked as I started calming down.

"See? You don't even know a thing about her, how can you say that she's your friend? Or are you guys just playing friends?" he mocked me.

"Are you saying that she's lying to us?!" I questioned him.

"Not lying, rather hiding something from you guys." he answered.

"What do you know about her?!" I yelled.

"Nothing, heck I don't even know her name. But I know her dirty little secret..." he smirked.

He stood up as he walked passed me, brushing against my shoulders.

"You shouldn't really place too much trust on her, after all she's..." he bent down to my ears and whispered something to my ears.

My eyes widened as he started walking again and out of the cafe, leaving me standing there, stunned.

"Just who is she?" I muttered under my breathe.
