Finding My Way To Him (Shalnark x Reader)

3: Happiness

What's going on? There is no way you are in hunter x huter. That would be impossible. But somehow, it made sense. The natural pink coloured hair that you didn't seem to question until this moment, the undeniably strange name 'Sanbica Norton', the strange haircut that somehow defied all logic, and the reversed names of cities.

You let out a deep sigh. You were probably dreaming. The second you wake up, it'll all go away, and you'll be awaking next to the funeral parlour. Although you dreaded the thought of it, you were still relieved you wouldn't leave your brother.

After some thinking, you decided it would be a good idea to talk to Sanbica. Although she was just a figmant of your imagination, she was the only person you had to confide in.

You clumsily shuffled out of bed and stumbled out of the silent room. The halls looked just like any ordinary hospital, with evenly distanced doors and walls painted in an off-white hue and lined with a long metal bar. The floors were a shade of blue and had a slightly bouncy, rubbery, and grippy property to them.

As you continued down the hallway, the sounds of talking and rolling of wheels amplified. When you finally arrived at the main area, you saw various patients sitting on the designated seats and various nurses attending to those with injuries and disabilities.

And once again, you were met with people of unnatural hair colours and phisiques and sizes that were impossible to possess.

'What are you doing here? You should be resting.'

It was Sanbica.

'I just wanted to talk with you.'

'Come back another time. I've got some serious matters to deal with.'

'No, none of this is real anyway. I just wanted to have a quick talk.'

'Oh? All of this is very real.'

And with that, she scurried away. You tried to follow her, but her small stature allowed her to blend in with the crowd of patients. Next second, she was gone.

All of this was real? She is trippin'. You had to find her quickly. Otherwise, you might wake up from the dream before having a proper conversation with her. You wandered around the vacinity all day. You saw no sign of the pink girl.

Realising the fruitlessness of your efforts, you returned to your room. To your surprise, you had opened the door to the said girl pacing around the room.

'Come sit down. We clearly have a lot to discuss.'

You were too shocked to complain. You decided to just comply with her, quickly sitting on the edge of the bed whilst she stood opposite of it.

'All of this is very real. I believe you are from a different world and got transported here somehow.'

'That's not possible.'

'But it is. This isn't the first time someone from another universe had appeared here out of thin air.'

'It's-'

'It's not a dream. And the sooner you accept it, the easier this will be for both of us.'

The room was dead silent.

'The second I found you lying by the side of the lake, I had already suspected the possibility of you originating from another universe. Your aura, it was different.'

Aura. The sole form of life energy in hunter x hunter. Although you did not fully comprehend your situation, you were beginning to understand the reality you were in. This wasn't a dream.

'I need to find a way back home.'

'Okay.'

'That's it?'
