» You are a notorious writer and proud owner of a library, one day your first customer, Chrollo, tells you to meet him on September 1st, leaving the location blank, challenging you to a game of catch.
My back hurt from sleeping on the couch of Chiaroscuro, I tried my best to stretch it and diminish the ache as I walked back home. It was half past ten and I could only hope not to have more unusual encounters. Meeting Hisoka had triggered my danger alarms, I had to find Chrollo soon. With those thoughts in mind, I decided that, once I arrived home, I would pull some strings and look for the infamous thief group led by him.
I held a wince back when my neighbours didn't return the complimentary wave as usual. Was something wrong? Had I insulted them somehow? I unlocked the door and threw my keys to the little table under a mirror, the cold air inside made me shiver. It was time to push some strings and look for Chrollo, I rushed to the kitchen to pick something to eat as I struggled to find my phone. Laughter echoed through the walls, freezing me in place, eyes widen and heart beating unevenly.
Taking a deep breath, I spun on my feet eyes being caught by the bright fuchsia hair, Hisoka's bright fuchsia hair. I gaped, unable to get any word out and just when I thought my eyes couldn't open more another man shows up, his thin right eyebrow arched, black eyes pinned in the clown, long black hair accompanying his movement. "Now now, how fun to find you here, Illumi."
The long-haired man tilted his head as the aura around him darkened beyond words and distended touching everything I could see. My s/c palm landed on my mouth, holding the panic in, at least the screams begging to be released. "Hisoka, you... Why are you even here?"
"I'm interested in the amazing Y/N." That was so clearly a lie that I couldn't help but sigh in confusion when the man, Illumi, took it. Hisoka's golden eyes narrowed, turning into half-moons, apparently him being interested in someone was enough for forced entry. "How about you, Illu~~? Are we fighting for this one?"
"Hmm... No. Y/N L/N." His void like eyes focused on me for the first time, "Called the police on me and saw me leaving the house." A gasp left my lips, I took a step back, away from the dangerous men, away from my life that was seemingly crumbling over my neighbour's damned death.
"Oooh~ Y/N, you are such a surprising person!" A sensual smirk played on Hisoka's lips, before he turned to face Illumi, annoyed. "So? What are you planning to do here?"
"I was going to silently watch her get arrested for the death of her neighbour. You ruined the silent part." Wait... WHAT? They couldn't arrest me for killing Hiro could they? I obviously didn't do it, this man did. Where would they find evidence...? A knock on the front door made me jump, I scurried past those men and my hand touched the door handle.
"Hmmm~. Want to run away with me Y/N? We could have a looot of fun." Looking over my shoulder I saw the two dangers in my house, I heard the faint voice of a policeman requesting for the door to be opened.
"I didn't do it. How could they arrest me?"
I twisted the handle, hearing the smooth clicks of the lock. Before I opened it, I heard a faint whisper on my hear. "You'd be surprised with the Zoldyck's influence. ~"
I turned to face the clown, but he had disappeared, DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR, along with his long-haired friend. A sigh left my lips as a million questions formed in my head, but first I had to deal with the police. Readying a smile for the officers, I pushed the door open, it vanished from my lips in an instant when their hands landed on me roughly, pushed me out violently and they started reciting the long script of an arrest.
"Excuse me, why am I under arrest for my neighbour's death? I did not do it." I was forced into the police car in front of all my neighbours. What a blow for publicity. Y/N being arrested. I rolled my eyes as I thought of what to do. Ask for a lawyer? How bad was my situation even? What had Illumi done?
Surely there would be a trial, could I trust that justice would be done? You'd be surprised with the Zoldyck's influence.~ How powerful was the Zoldyck's influence? Would it go as far as forcing the judge to condemn me to prison? No. There was no way.
"I'd like to know what evidence points me as a culprit." They drove in silence, ignoring all my questions. Did I have enough power over the city justice system to counter this framing? "When's the trial? When can I call my lawyer?"
They snickered before parking the car and pushing me out, taking me to the station and locking me up in a cell. Yeah, this was going to take a while to get out off... Rolling my eyes I searched in my pockets for my phone to no avail, had I left it in Chiaroscuro? How could I? Was I so worried about Hisoka that I didn't think about playing with my phone on the way back home? I had to contact people, I had to leave this place. There was no way I'd get framed for something I didn't do.
How could this happen? That man killed my neighbour and framed me for it? BECAUSE I CALLED THE POLICE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON? I had to clear my name or else my library, my books, everything... Ruined...
