Through The Mind, story of the Spider's Beloved Butterfly (ChrolloXReader)

Taken and Reunited

Chrollo had you wear a cloak that hid your face so that you were not able to be recognized and sat near Chrollo with your legs crossed and your head down in one of your books. The reason for hiding your face was so that no one would go over board when they suddenly saw you and Chrollo would only have to explain it once. You agreed reluctantly so that you wouldn't forcefully throw the others into an mental roller coaster like you were thrown into. This way Chrollo could try and soften the blow somehow before you showed yourself fully. The real issue was that he had told you some of them would be running late and of them was Feitan.

You were very anxious as to how he would react to you. He was your only blood related family left and he was very protective of you. Your quarrels with him were actually some of your fondest memories. When you were beaten by some shopkeeper and finally came back or were found by the others he would always call you an idiot and start an argument with you. However you knew about the 'accidents' that the shopkeepers or others that beat you got the next day. It was actually a few days before you were taken when you got into a huge fight with him and wouldn't even look in his direction let alone speak. The day you were taken you over heard him talking to some of the others about the fight, he spoke so warmly. He rarely spoke unless he was scolding you so hearing his quite voice speak about you like that had you tearing up.

That was also the day you realized why he always scolded you, he had explained about how to him you were too bright for that city. How he didn't want your light to go out because of it. To him your existence was just like the sun and he needed to toughen you up enough so that no one could dose your flame. You had no idea at the time how much you meant to him, how much he truly cared for you. You wanted to make it up to him so you went out to find a gift. You weren't quite sure what you would get him so you just roamed around until you found an undamaged sun parasol. When you were on your way back was when you were taken. You never did find out if he got it or not.

You snap out of your thoughts as a presence from the entrance of the building makes its way to the room. Two men strolled in. One was in a green and white track suit while the other was in purple and both were blonde. You didn't know these men, they were not the ones you were looking for. you find yourself scooting closer to Chrollo and changing your position to hide more of your body. Your body now pressed into the side of the broken pillar Chrollo sat on and you had your right leg still in its crossed position while the left was up so that your knee was close to your chest with the cloak draping over it. This made your cloak act even more as a barrier between you and the open area to your left. One wouldn't be able to tell anything about you so long as they didn't go around to behind Chrollo.

The men seemed shocked to see someone else close to Chrollo and starred at you for a good second before the one in the track suit spoke.

"Hey boss, who is that?"

"Did we get a new member? I don't remember hearing about anyone being replaced though." The one in purple questioned. You didn't move and just kept your head down, but Chrollo probably sensed your curiosity about the two and asked you a question instead of answering theirs.

"Would you like me to introduce them to you?" You nodded and moved to take a pen and notebook from your bag nearby on your right. "The one on the left in the green track suit is Phinks. He is number five and is an enhancer. The one in purple and smiling is Shalnark. He is number 6 and is a manipulator." You wrote down everything quickly and waited for him to tell you more, however he stayed silent. Instead Shalnark spoke again.

"Boss?" It was only one word, but it was obvious he was simply restating his previous question. You turned slightly to set your things down and give your full attention to the people in the room with you.

"She is something that was once stolen from me." you tensed slightly at the wording he used before a blush formed on your face. 

"Someone managed to steal from the boss?!" Shalnark was in disbelief.
