It's You (Hisoka X Reader)

Chapter Three

It's been a week since you and your friend Hisoka have been reunited. Your memories of five years ago were still hazy, clouded over it seemed, but you didn't mind. All that matters is that you regained part of your memories- the important memories. The memory of such a kind man helping you get over the pain when Chrollo went too far.

You were walking with the said man in the streets of Yorknew City, where everyone would glance at you and your companion. You both atttacted too much attention, his fashion choice and the news about you being the center of it all.

"Hm, we've attracted pests." Hisoka mutters.

"Hisoka, don't call them that!" You send a glare towards Hisoka, whose eyes softened and chuckles at you as he shook his head.

"No, no. Not the people around us, but the ones hiding by the trees." He says simply, ruffling your hair. He continues walking, acting as if what he said was completely normal.

You were restless.

"Hush, now." Hisoka says, turning around and facing you. He smirks. "No need to fret. My purpose is to protect you, isn't it?"

You tilt your head sideways, confused. Why was he willing to go so far for you? You hurt him, you made him suffer. Chrollo must've done unspeakable things when you left. Your train of thoughts remained undisturbed as the magician stares at you with longing eyes.

You barely notice it, though.

"You still seem bothered," he sighs. "What's wrong? Am I doing this 'bodyguard' thing wrong?"

"What?" You jump, surprised. You were taken aback by what he had said. "No! Of course not! You-You shouldn't even call yourself a bodyguard! I don't need one, Hisoka."

"Yes, but I want to kill." He says abruptly, stopping you from saying anything more. "And with your current situation, I can easily pick off the individuals standing in your way."

"Hiso-" you were about to call out to him, when a piercing voice resonates in your head.

"I own you. I own you, (y/n)! You are mine and only mine! I own you.. I own you.. I will kill anyone who dares to steal you away. I love you, (y/n). I was wrong. I desperately love the way you screamed that night and begged for mercy, for that trash's life. I love your tear-stained face, (y/n). (y/n).. (y/n).. (y/n).. Remember who you belong to."

"(y/n)..? (y/n)! What's wrong?" You heard Hisoka ask. You didn't look at him, your eyes closed shut and your hands covering your ears.

"Make him stop.. MAKE HIM STOP!" You cried out, tears spilling out from your squeezed shut eyes. Without you knowing, Hisoka's expression grows grim.

"Hush, my little princess, the dragon's 'bout to wake," Hisoka sang, his arms squeezing you gently. The voice had started to waver, your attention now to the soothing voice of the magician. "Let me sing a song that'll give your heart a break. It's not as fancy as you think, as I am not as great, as you, the princess, oh so dear, you are mine to take."

The song that he sang managed to dispel his voice in your head, and you couldn't help but smile. It was a familiar song, yet you think you've never heard it before. You were filled with (determination. just kidding hahahaha) so many mixed emotions, that you couldn't pinpoint any of them out.

After your ragged breaths have calmed down, you open your eyes to see his slightly worried ones. You smile up at him, and remove your hands from your ears. He lets go of you, and sits down.

"Where did you learn that song, Hisoka?"

Hisoka hummed, eyes closed. He stops after a while, and says, "I've no clue."

He was lying. You knew. But, you didn't press on.

Looking around you, you sigh in relief. There were no people around the area where you are, so it meant that there would be no rumours running about.

"Say," you hear Hisoka pipe up. "What happened to you?"

You blink a few times, confused, before getting that he was referring to earlier's ordeal. You sigh heavily, a weight suddenly dropping on your shoulders. You think once, twice about how you were to tell him.

"I heard his voice," you started, eyes cast down. "Chrollo."

Hisoka's breath hitches, his expression grim. He urges you to continue. "He was saying how I was his, how he loved seeing me cry, hearing me beg for mercy, for your life.. It.. It scared me, Hisoka." You tremble, drawing your knees closer towards your chest. "I-I'm scared of him.."

You felt warmth around you, and realized that Hisoka had once again enveloped you in an embrace. He sighs contently.

"I'm here now, don't worry." He chuckles.. Almost darkly.

"No one will stand in our way."

You woke up the next day in your hotel room, the magician nowhere to be seen. You weren't fazed by it, just confused. Usually, he would be around, pestering you. Today, it seemed like he wasn't.

You hear two raps on your door before it opened. You spoke too soon. There, by the doorway, stood Hisoka with a bag in hand. He smiles at you, closing the door behind him.

"Good morning, had a good rest?" He asked, out of character. You raise an eyebrow, nodding. He chuckled. "Good, good. I've bought you food. I figured you wanted these- peach-mango pie and pop-to eat. I bought these a few miles away from here."

"You went somewhere far away for pie? Why? I could've just ordered room service!" You exclaimed, shocked. He grins.

"Well, you like these, right?" You nod hesitantly, taking the food away from him.

"Thanks.." You mutter. "Geez, you know me too we-wait, how did you know I like peach-mango pie?"

Hisoka sat silently, before laughing. "Ah, I see you still don't remember. Well, it's not that important, but we used to eat these together when we were back in the Troupe, seven years ago."

"Huh, really?" You ask with your mouth full of pie. "I still need to work on my memories.."

"How did you lose them, anyways?"

"Hmm, I lost them after I escaped from Chrollo. I guess I was so traumatized back then." You answer. Hisoka nods, eating the apple in his hand.

"But, really, I don't remember telling anyone I like pie.." You mutter, feeling Hisoka's movements stop. "Hisoka?"

"Ah!" He perks up, laughing. "Sorry, I was deep in thought."

"Hm? Okay, then." You continue eating, and quickly become engrossed in it that you couldn't hear Hisoka's words..

"..you must not know.. Not yet.."
