°•°GLIMPSE OF US°•°

Chapter 25

•Y/ns POV•

"Join the Phantom Troup."

"... no way he just asked that" I feel my body start to heat up from rage at the fact he had the audacity to ask me that.

"You take my ability, kill me after, and think I would say yes to your offer?" I say offended. My mind was sending me red flags all over the place telling me to say no and that its a trick but, the way Chrollo said it was the only thing throwing me off. Sure I wanted to say no with all the past tension we used to have, but it was hard to not believe him. He ask with such sincere eyes, I couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

Chrollo stands up from his crouching position and walks towards the door, ignoring the confused face I was giving him along with a small glare still.

"I'll give you time to think about it," he turns and smiles one last time. He could be lying... but yet again- 'This is my opportunity to get better and stronger. To be better when I see Illumi.' 

"I accept." I look away in embarrassment from actually agreeing to my killer. This is for my one and only Illumi, sorry Y/n.

I could tell Chrollos whole mood changed from my answer from the way his posture straightened up and eyes shined from my answer.

"That's great! I'll arrange when we can practice your skills and when you can even go against one of the Phantom Troup members," he says with a big grin on his face that suits him very well.

I nod and look down at myself," Can I be untied..?"

"Oh yeah of course."

'I have to do this. To get stronger before seeing Illumi.' I think to myself.

After chrollo untied me, I sigh with relief and stretch my arms. Beside me, Chrollos laughter could be heard trying to be covered up by his hand. And damn! His laugh was so adorable. I turn to him with an angry expression.

"What?" I spat at him, feeling my head get all red.

"Nothing nothing. Do you wanna meet the rest of the troup?" He says wiping a tear. I give a small nod and he leads me to a big room with the Troup members.

Once I enter, the Members stare intensely at me. I felt like I could die with their stare. They looked like they came straight out of a comics book. 'Cool...' As I started to sweat of embarrassment from the stares, Chrollo placed a hand on my shoulder.

"She will be training with some of you guys. I want you to treat her with respect as if she were a member. Everyone got that?"

"Yes boss."

Chrollo then leaves me to sit on one of the rock chairs in the corner to read.

'Noo come back I don't wanna be left alone,' I think, hoping he can read my mind. He turns to look at me and I think it worked but he just gave me a smile and slightly moved his head to the Troup. I know that meant he wanted me to talk to them. But before I could I heard,"Hey. What's your name?" I turn and see a girl with Pink hair ask. She was wearing a tank top and tight Jeans.

"Oh my, she's bad as hell" I stare at her for 3 seconds till she quirks an eyebrow up making me come back to reality.

"Oh! I'm Y/n! Nice to meet you," I say smiling, feeling a tad awkward. Machi smirks and looks away.

"Yeah you'll be fun. I'm Machi," she sticks her hand out and I shake it. "Behind me is Pakunoda," she points her thumb behind her. There's a tall lady with short, blond hair with a side part.

"She's so pretty whattttt" I look at her with wide eyes.

"You're so pretty Y/n. I hope we can be friends. I'm pukunoda but call me Paku," she smiles, sticking her hand out for me to shake.

"I hope we can be friends too," I smile shyly, shaking her hand. As I do so, she gave me a weird look, but I ignored it.

"And what's your ability?" I hear a high voice ask. I turn and see a boy with blond hair and big eyes ask. "Oh I'm Shalnark by the way!"

"Oh nice to meet you," I half smile.

"So what IS your ability," Another blond guy asks. Now most the of the Phantom Troup members surround me, sitting down and the rock seats in front of me.

I tell them about my ability but say how I haven't tried it in so long so it might be rusty. I also told them about how they killed me back then and when I told them, their reaction was so funny I was bawling laughing. They were actually a funny group since they add side jokes to things that I say. Especially the blond guy who I learned that was Phinks. I think I'm gonna enjoy being here. Until I see Illumi ofcourse..

•Illumis POV•

I sigh against my tea cup as I have to sit in silence with yet again another girl I've been arranged to meet. It's been, 2 months. It's already passed Y/ns birthday. Was she not coming back? Hey birthday month is already passing slowly too.

"So what so you like to do?" The girl finially asked. She had (h/c) hair that was (opposite of your hair type). Her hair was (opposite length). Her eyes were small and had little emotion in them, but there was a little light in them.

"Well, I do enjoy killing," I tell her. That was a lie, I hate killing, but it's what ive been telling all the girls I've met so far. I hear her hum in response. She's the only one who doesn't speak too much or doesn't speak at all.

"Interesting. Being the daughter of a mafia member doesn't really bring excitement or entertainment in killing anymore. Even if I don't feel the gut wrench feeling when I see blood anymore, it's just boring," she says, placing her head in her palm. We were outside my house on a little table for two. The sun was still bright and the sun reflected off her hair. It looked very much like Y/ns. I stare at her for a few more moments before she looks back at me. I look away and stand up.

"Well, I think you have a very good opinion but the time is now 3," I say collecting the tea cups. She gets up and turns to check her back. That's when I notice her outfit. It was a nicely fitted shirt and flared jeans.

"Oh" it was such a casual outfit, especially out of all the girls I've met, yet this is the only one that made me feel something.

"I didn't know it was gonna be hot out here. God I'm sweating so hard right now," she pulls out a fan to fan herself.

"I'll excuse myself. Feel free to lead yourself out," I say waking away to my room. That girl reminds me too much of Y/n its kinda crazy.

•••

I was in the training room until I heard the door open. I see my mom come through and smiles widely.

"Hello Illumi! How was the girl today?? You never told me," she looks at me as I set the equipment down.

"She was fine," I mumble without thinking. Then my mom let out a big gasp.

"That's the first time you've said something about a girl. Maybe she's the one!" She pinches my cheek. I sweat drop at how I recklessly answered her question. Of course she's gonna take it the wrong way. "I'll set you guys up a date again! Goobyeeee," and she walks quickly away before I can say anything.

'What have I got myself into.'
