A Most Intimate Mission (Illumi X Reader) (Hunter X Hunter)

Chapter Four

(A/N: Here's chapter four! Anywhoozles, let's see what's happening with you and our favorite emotionless assassin!)

~~TIME SKIP: A FEW DAYS~~

Illumi arose early as usual and as well- rested as he had been for the past week.

'Such great sleep.' he thought as he left the bed.

Y/N had been sleeping a bit better as well, after refusing to cry herself to sleep anymore. She did so with the thought of her remaining family: a teenaged boy with blue hair and bright hazel eyes, him being the last one in her mind before sleep took over. She was still sleeping and didn't stir when Illumi had left the bed. He was a top assassin after all, he knew how to stealthily move around places. Illumi showered and dressed himself within the darkness of the room since his eyes quickly adjusted to dark places. He made his way over to the drawer by Y/N's side of the bed to retrieve his phones and pins. He gazed upon Y/N for just a moment, her face seeming to show calmness during her sleep. She looked almost at peace. Having what he needed for the day, Illumi quietly escaped out the door and headed toward the forest for a morning run before the sun rose.

Y/N didn't awaken until 6:42 A.M., as that was what the clock told her upon opening her eyes. She memorized the schedule for when Illumi would return there for her, to work toward the mission his family bestowed on him. Therefore, she knew she had until 8 A.M. to prepare for the day and to have her first meal. She had developed her own schedule of how to spend her days, though it didn't consist of much. The first part of it, was to call Illumi to request breakfast, then shower and dress while waiting for Pocana to bring it up for her. After eating, she would wait for the first session of the day, then after Illumi made his leave, she would hum some of her or Vojden's favorite songs to herself, as it helped to pass the time.

She made the call to Illumi to send for breakfast, then made her way to the bathroom, leaving the door open as always, before turningthe shower on. Shortly after finishing getting ready, there was the usual light knock on the door. Y/N verbally granted permission for the purplette to enter, already expecting who it would be. While requesting dinner on her third day there, Y/N remembered to ask Illumi if Pocana could be the butler to bring up all of her meals. Illumi didn't see a problem with it and agreed, so Pocana was always the only butler she saw. Pocana entered the room with a smile, rolling in the cart with Y/N's meal on it.

"Good morning, Miss Y/N. I have your breakfast as requested and I double-checked it myself. I hope it's to your satisfaction." Pocana said politely as she removed the covers atop the plates.

"Good morning. It all looks very good, thank you, Pocana." Y/N responded.

Pocana was about to take her leave, which always disappointed Y/N. She really liked the company but it always so short-lived. Pocana then stopped, her curiosity bubbling to the surface of her mind, causing her to give in to it. She took in a short breath and turned back to face Miss Y/N.

"No guests have remained here this long. If you don't mind my asking, could I know the reason for your stay?" Pocana asked.

Pocana had shown her nothing but kindness throughout her week there and Y/N felt like she could trust her. Maybe venting it out loud would release some tension and lift some weight off her shoulders. Y/N let out a sigh before replying.

"No... I don't mind." she said before informing Pocana about her purpose there.

Pocana kept silent, nodding her understanding every so often, allowing Y/N to talk and express her feelings. Inside, all she felt was dread building up. She decided she could not tell Laeva about it, which seemed like a betrayal as her best friend. However, she figured she would find out eventually so it wasn't necessary for her to find out from Pocana. She wanted to protect her friend's feelings for as long as she could. After all, she was an expert on them and could see how disastrous that could become. Y/N did feel a bit relieved from unwinding all of that from herself for the first time in her days there.
