If a cat hisses at and scratches you it could mean many things. The cat could simply not like you. It could be angry or be scared. Often a cat or kitten who is feeling threatened will hiss and scratch in an attempt to defend itself. A kitten could also be over stimulated and warning you that it can't take anymore play.

I would advise leaving the kitten alone until it calms down and then approach it gently and calmly before petting it.

2 year old cat hisses at new kitten but also cleans the kitten why such weird behaviour?

Is your cat(the older one) a male? If so he is doing this because of jealousy and/or spite. Male cats do not usually attack kittens. Just like people the kitten(child) may have done something to upset the cat making it hiss. Then later the cat forges the kitten for whatever it is the kitten may have done, hence the nicer show of behaviours.
