His Toy (Hisoka x Reader)

Chapter 15

It felt like the world had stopped.

All you could do was stare as Killua and Illumi began to talk, their conversation fading into the background, the sound of your thoughts taking over.

He was right in front of me the entire time, watching from the shadows.

Your eyes stared unseeing in front of you, why am I always so powerless in his presence?

Your gaze finally focused on Killua, and what you saw triggered a realization.

A look of absolute terror had settled on Killua's face, his eyes were wide, unblinking, and sweat dripped down his skin.

What have I done? You stared at the scene in front of you in horror, I was so scared of losing my family, that I abandoned them, the fear in his eyes, it's all my fault. You stumbled backward, It's happening again, I thought I was protecting them by leaving, but I was putting them in even more danger.

You stood there, eyes still glued to the scene, unable to move. No, your fists clenched, Kiri's bright smile flashing through your mind. I won't fail them again!

Before you knew it, you had dashed through the air and landed in front of Killua, standing protectively in front of him as you faced Illumi.

He tilted his head slightly, "this is a surprise, I didn't expect you would be able to act."

Your eyes narrowed, "what do you mean?"

"What do you feel right now (Y/N)?"

You were taken aback by his question, "what do I feel! Like I've been used! Like-"

Emptiness, the anger that had only just begun to build, was replaced yet again by emptiness.

"Wha- what is this?" You stared ahead of you, panic and confusion written over your face.

"I-" You stared at Illumi again, thinking about what he's done to you, It's all his fault, I see now, all he's done is hurt me and the people I love! But the more you tried to feel your anger, the more empty you felt, the pounding in your head intensifying, growing more painful by the second.

"What did you do to me!" You cried out helplessly, your legs beginning to shake.

Illumi stared at you passively, "maybe you're incapable of hating me because a part of you still loves me."

Your eyes widened, could that be it, is some twisted part of me still in love with him?

"I'd be willing to take you back (Y/N)," he gave you a small smile, "we can spend the rest of our lives together."

You snapped out of your shock, "no, I don't love you anymore!" Your eyes softened and you smiled slightly, lowering your eyes to the floor. "I love Hisoka now," you said quietly.

Illumi's expression didn't change, and he turned to Hisoka, who had been watching closely from the sidelines. His face was impossible to read.

"Hisoka, why don't you tell (Y/N) what you think of her confession."

You raised your eyes from the ground to meet Hisoka's, he stared at you for what seemed like an eternity, his face giving away none of his emotions.

Finally, he smirked and turned to Illumi, "it seems as if there's been a change of plans.~"

Illumi's eyes darkened, "what?"

Hisoka walked over and positioned himself slightly in front of you, giving Illumi a menacing look. "I won't let you have her.~"

Illumi's aura darkened and flared around him, his black eyes seeming to portray death itself.

"Then I will have to remove you."

A barrage of pins flew towards you and Hisoka, and he quickly dodged to the side, taking you with him.

It's happening again, you thought in horror, as you watched Hisoka and Illumi exchange blows, all the people I love just get hurt.

Your eyes focused on Illumi, and he's at the center of it all.

Something within you seemed to snap.

You ignored the impending emptiness as you stared at Illumi, rage coursing through you like the blood in your veins. You slowly walked towards him, your head pounding, louder, and louder.

You grabbed one of your whips and flung it towards him, lightning-fast, he whipped around, grabbing the tendril with his hand.

Hisoka stood on the other side of him, eyeing Illumi carefully, they had been exchanging blows relatively equally, but he could feel himself being worn down, Illumi would win if you didn't interfere.

"Come back to me willingly (Y/N) and I'll spare Hisoka," he stuck out his other hand, his eyes boring into your soul. "You wouldn't want his death to be on your hands now would you?"

You froze and your eyes met Hisoka's, his face was indifferent as his gaze flicked from you to Illumi.

Then, a spark of realization crossed his eyes and he turned his gaze back to you.

A reassuring smile came across his face, and he gave you a small nod, before flinging a playing card, directly at your head.
