Love me! [illumi X Oc]

Chapter 9

(Arisus pov)

it's been one whole week and Illumi still hasn't shown back up. I- despite my pride- waited for his return. I put the collar he gave me away and tucked it somewhere near me. Maybe this is part of training? Either way, I have to go back home. 

I wasn't allowed to even come here in the first place and my mother already called me to tell me that if I don't go back now one of my siblings would have to pay the consequences. I really wish Illumi taught me a little bit more of how to use that ability so I could protect my siblings more than I can right now. Well, either way, I'm a hunter now and that basically means I can get away with illegal activity legally. 

I smile at myself as I pack my things. Wow, I really am a hunter now, who needs school? Am I right? All I had to do was put my life on the line to become rich. I let out a breath and make my way out of the motel. 

Just as I made my way out I bumped into someone. I look up at the person I had bumped into, embarrassed and in pain due to the fact that my head hit their chest, I'm met with the blue eyes of gin. He's looking down at me, seeming beyond angry. 

"oh, hey dude." I rubbed my face to relieve the pain. I'm still looking at him and I see his face form into a sneer. 

"Hey dude?" His deep voice rang in my ears and the anger he was in kind of frightened me. 

"what? what did I do?" I asked him with more confidence than I had.

"you disappeared with that weirdo with bug eyes." Gin scowled and I had to resist the urge to walk away from him.

"That weirdo with the bug eyes is my... my acquaintance and you," I pointed my finger and him and poked his chest. "Are no one to tell me who I can and can't be around."

"Still, he looks like he has no humanity in him he might be a bad person." He holds his arms and I roll my eyes.

"I'm so sorry but you don't even know him!" I shout. Nothing annoys me more than people judging others based on appearance. I understand sometimes it's good to follow your intuition but mine isn't going off, I feel okay around Illumi.

"I didn't mean it in that way-"

"Yes you did, I know how you are and you know what? I'm getting pretty sick and tired of it. Let me be friends with whoever I want to be friends with, understand?" I glare at him so he knows how much of a hypocrite he's being right now.

I know he has a point but my pride isn't letting me reason with him. Illumi did try killing me already and for some reason, I didn't die, utter dumb luck but I'm still alive. 

I look up at him shaking my head and walk past him. Feeling his eyes on me I continue walking.

Are relationships supposed to be this stale and unpassionate? 

I don't feel him chasing me and I fight back tears, I know how stupid it sounds but I was kind of hoping he would come after me so I could apologize. I feel tears start forming and I quickly wipe my eyes. This is so stupid. 

"Arisu.." I hear a voice call out my name and I stop to look around. The voice sounded less deep than gins but it sounded familiar. 

I don't see anyone and start to contemplate whether I lost my mind. I turn to look back forward but then I see Illumi in front of me. His cold eyes staring down at me and he holds a slight frown. 

I take a step back and slightly widen my eyes. 

"You waited." He says but I can't tell whether he's asking or pointing it out. I nod and he looks behind me. I also look back and see Gin standing back there with his hands in his pockets, watching us. "your boyfriend seems mad." Illumi was now looking at me as if analyzing me. 

"Yeah, he might be," I replied to him while attempting to keep eye contact. He had his head tilted slightly and his eyes were slowly taking in every inch of my body and face. When Illumi finally stopped he stared at me with slight.. something? I can't really pinpoint what it is. He doesn't seem to like me though, that's for sure. He turns around and starts walking. 

"Follow me." 

"I should really be goin-" 

Illumi stopped walking and I felt goosebumps run all over my body. "I said.. follow." 

"Y-yes." I stuttered and followed him close behind.
