Crimson Reaper ( Hunter X Hunter Fanfiction)

As sensei continued to run, Akiri started to cry a bit while holding tightly onto Sensei's top. Her feelings of worry and fear returning to her once again. "Sensei, what's going on? Where are my parents?" she asked through her tears.

"Shhh, there there, calm down, don't cry, Akiri. Everything is going to be alright. Try to relax, and I'll explain what I know to you in a bit when we have a chance," Sensei said gently, rubbing her back trying to soothe her. He slowed down his pace as they approached the main room, which was her parents' room.

Akiri tried to control her breathing to calm down. Once she saw that they were close to her parents' room, she felt a mix of happiness and nervousness because she didn't know what was going to happen. Sensei whispered quietly, "Don't make any noise. We don't know if the bad guys are in there."

Once they reached the room Sensei put Akiri down and peeked inside as he held his breath, scanning for any signs of danger. The room was dimly lit, and he could see shadows moving. He turned to Akiri, his expression serious but gentle. "Stay close to me and be very quiet," he whispered, carefully pushing the door open a bit more.

Akiri nodded, gripping his clothes tighter, her heart racing with anticipation and fear. She could hear muffled voices and the sound of things being moved around. "What if they find my parents?" she thought, her eyes wide with worry and fear. Sensei took a deep breath, ready to protect her at all costs.

"Akiri, listen to me," he murmured, glancing back at her. "We need to be very careful. I promise we're going to find your parents, but you have to stay close."

"We need to make a plan," he murmured, glancing back at her. "Just trust me, okay Akiri? We're going to get through this together.

"Okay, Sensei," Akiri whispered back, her voice trembling but full of determination. "I trust you."

"With that, he stepped into the room, moving stealthily, ready to confront whatever awaited them. Akiri followed closely, her trust in Sensei giving her the courage she needed.

Once Sensei and Akiri entered the dark room, he told her to stay very close. But Akiri was worried and wanted to find her parents immediately. She wanted to help sensei by searching the other side of the room.

Sensei was searching one side of the room near the closets, Akiri determined to help, quietly tried to go to the other side of the room without her sensei noticing.

"Akiri, stay close," Sensei reminded her not turning his head as he continued searching, his voice firm yet gentle. "Aww Darn it, But Sensei, I want to help you find my parents," Akiri insisted, her voice filled with urgency.

Sensei sighed but nodded, understanding her desperation. "Alright Akiri you can help, but be careful and stay close, okay?."

"Okay Sensei!" Replied Akiri as she started to roam around the other side her parents room. As she looked around she felt a pull of curiosity coming from the bathroom. This caught her interest and she wandered over to the bathroom slowly and quietly.

An uneasy feeling washed over her as she reached the bathroom. She felt nervous but yet she couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity telling her to go inside. Trembling slightly she took a deep breath and hesitantly reached for the doorknob and turned it nervously.

When she opened the door, horror struck her face. She was so shocked that she yelled in fear. Sensei quickly turned around, alarmed by the yell and panicked when he noticed that Akiri wasn't anywhere close to him like he had asked. "Akiri, what's wrong? Where are you?? Why did you yell?" he called out, his voice filled with concern as he looked worriedly for her.
