【ａｐａｔｈｙ】{A HxH x [Gojo] OC story}

Chapter 10

WARNING: Cussing

"Was Uvo really killed?" The black-haired man asked.

"Probably." The lady responded.

"Uvo was more than just a dumb brute."

"I know that."

"Even if he was fighting a difficult opponent, he had the wits and experience to prevail." Nobunaga argued.

"Except when 0.5 came along. Remember her?" Machi asked.

"Of course, how could I not? She made each of us swear that we'd never tell another soul." Nobunaga sighed.

"On physical strength, Uvo was definitely stronger, but using her wits and her abilities, 0.5 could beat up any of us...maybe even boss. Back to Uvo, he hasn't returned. Has he ever been late without informing us?"

"But do you remember what he said? He isn't coming back until he settles things with the chain user."

"That's why I said he was probably dead. I never said he was definitely dead."

Chapter 10: [ Call x Me x Red My Ass ]

"Now, I understand what happened. It was wise to switch rooms. The Phantom Troupe is definitely using the Hunter website. If you'd move any later, Neon might've been still in danger. Thank you. Moving forward, the first step is to get my daughter home. Is that ok, Neon?" Nostrade Light turned to his sulking daughter.

"Well, I don't really have a choice..." She said.

'Darn you're right.' Sora mentally agreed.

"The auction was canceled so I don't have a reason to stay...Man, I really wanted to go." She rocked back and forth in her chair.

"They'll hold another auction next year. Cheer up, and I'll recover those items stolen by the bandits." Light promised.

'You mean we'll mother fucker.'

"Really?" Neon asked.

"Yes, I promise." Light nodded. "Have I ever broken a promise?"

"Have you ever kept one?" Neon questioned.

'She got you there.'

"I believe your names are Melody and Basho?" Light asked after he cheered his sulking daughter up.

They both nodded.

"I want you to escort Neon to her house immediately. Just to be safe, use simple disguises." Light turned to Neon, "go to your room and pack your things, Neon."

"Ok!!"

After Neon left Light took out a cigarette from the box he was fiddling with and lit it. "All right, let's get down to the real business. The auction will resume tonight."

Everyone's eyes widened at the news while Sora fixed her blindfold to rest more comfortably above her eyes.

"The time and location hasn't changed..." Light gave the rest of the rundown to the group. "The Shadow Beasts seemed to have been killed. Nine bodies have been recovered so far. The final member, Owl was the one carrying the merchandise. He was probably captured by the Troupe. It's believed that the merchandise has fallen into the Troupe's hands. So, as I said, with the Shadow Beasts dead, the Ten Dons are hiring pros."
