Hunting for a way home - Shalnark x Reader

Chapter 31 - Thing is, I got good days on my mind.

Shalnark couldn't believe what he was hearing on the other end of the phone. "You said she's where and plans on doing what?!"

The irritated sigh Machi gave him before confirming what she just said before wishing him luck and promptly hanging up had his jaw tightening.

Spinning around in the desk chair to face the house he'd broken into's computer he began tapping away on the keys to bring him to the page he desired. He believed Machi but he had to see for himself.

Irritation surged as he hacked into the Heavens Arena  database and confirmed she was most definitely there.

It didn't appear that she had any fights set yet on the 200th floor. Machi explained the conversation she'd overheard in the elevator. Was Y/N really planning on fighting Hisoka. Like for real?

What happened to the version of her that needed to drug the man just to rob him a few short weeks ago? Now it seemed she actually wanted to fight she tried so desperately to previously avoid.

He knew she was strong but he doubted she could realistically take himself in a fight let alone Hisoka. She had always been daring and most of the time he had always admired that about her.

Well he had grown to admire that about her in time but at the moment it irritated him.
Uvogin strolled into the room. "What's got you in such a shit mood Shal." The bigger man joked.

Right... he wasn't even in the same country as Y/N anymore. When Uvo called asking for help getting a lead on something he thought the boss might in the future be interested in he jumped at the chance to have something to do.

As much as he enjoyed the thought of seeing her or speaking to her again. He wasn't sure when that was going to happen and he didn't plan to sit around waiting for the day she decided to reach out to him.

He had been trying to wait for her to text or call but at this rate she'd get herself killed before that ever happened. Shalnark decided right then and there he was going to heavens arena and he was going to stop her.

Looking over to Uvo he as calmly as possible explained the situation. Uvo's face having grown all the more tense until the man crossed his arms.

There wasn't a smile on his face and the nexts words he spoke came out dead serious.

"I don't need you here anymore. Leave and go get your girl."

Shalnark was about to correct him and say that you weren't his girl. The man seemingly knew what was about to come out his mouth because he turned away to walk out the door.

"Save it Shal. I'm not in the mood to hear it."

Your hand was outstretched ready to knock on wings apartment door when it opened. The man looked pleasant if unkempt as he opened the door.

"Ahh, I wasn't actually sure if you'd come but I'm glad you did all the same." Looking past Wing you spotted Zushi watching you from a small table you smiled to try and relax him.

"Well I'm here now." Wing opened the door wider moving aside for you to come in. Stepping over the threshold you twisted the ends of your jacket in your hands.

"Soooo teach. Where are we gonna begin?" The words came out nervously. Walking further into the apartment you followed.

"I would first like to see your ren first." Wing looked expectant and Zushi seemed curious. You realized he probably didn't spend to much time around a lot of other nen users regardless of being at heavens arena.

"How long would you like me to hold it for?" He blinked at your question before considering.

"Mhm, go for your usual time. I think that'll be satisfactory."
