You followed the giant crowd of examinees outside to the docks, Hisoka and 'Gittarackur' following right behind you like bodyguards. Considering that there was a boat, you whole-heartedly believed that the next phase was going to be set on an island. Hopefully, they wouldn't drop all of the examinees off and reveal that the Hunter Exam is a scam.

"Pick up the pace, you're so slow~" Hisoka complained, shoving you forward slightly.

You slowed down more to get on his nerves, an audible groan escaping his lips.

"That's it, you little brat~" Hisoka chuckled and heaved you over his shoulder.

You tried to hit him and convince him to let you go, but he wouldn't budge.

"As I said, you're my responsibility~"

"I'm pretty sure your actual words were that I'm your 'toy'" you huffed.

Gittarackur made a strange noise under his breath as he tensed up, something was going on.

"You okay, Gittarackur?"

"I'm perfectly alright, thank you. I just misheard Hisoka, that's all," he smiled, the best he could anyway, with all of his pins stuck in his face.

Hisoka carried you the rest of the way to the boat before setting you down against one of the ship's railings, himself and Gittarackur sitting on either side of you. Hisoka started to strike up small talk, edging closer to you as he did so. 'Gittarackur' didn't fail to notice this, and he moved you to his right side, sitting in between you and Hisoka.

Hisoka glared at him, upset that he had intervened.

"We have to remain professional, as you keep forgetting,"

"Professional isn't my forte, just give her back~"

"Y/N, you should go spend time with your other friends for a few minutes," Gittarackur nodded towards the opposite side of the ship.

You shrugged and turned away from the two, looking for the group of boys you thought of so fondly. You figured they'd have a talk and everything would be solved.

Illumi's POV

"Why did you move her? Why did you send her away?" Hisoka immediately questioned me.

"Y/N isn't one of your 'toys'. You can't play with her then throw her away. She may be interesting, but that's no excuse for you to be your creepy self. She put trust in us when she joined the alliance, she probably thinks we're her friends,"

"Everyone is one of my toys, Illumi~"

"Not me. And definitely not her." I put more force into my voice.

"You may be one of my colleagues, but you don't have control over me. I will play with Y/N however much I choose. Whether you support that or not is your decision~"

Hisoka's POV

How dare he assume she's just an ordinary toy of mine. She is my most prized possession. She will never break, I won't let her. She's mine, and only mine, to play with. Illumi may 'borrow' her if he wishes.

"I'll take her away," he threatened.

"You couldn't. I'd get her back. Or she'd stay with me~" I replied, pushing malice into my voice.

Illumi observed my body language as he hadn't before he started this argument.

"You think she's special, don't you?" He widened his eyes and cocked his head.

Reader's POV

You had finally found your friends, although by now Hisoka and Illumi were probably done arguing. It was kind of frustrating to call him Gittarackur ever since he accidentally revealed himself to you. Illumi was a much more beautiful name. He looked better in his actual form too. You stopped thinking about the two men when you heard Leorio mention your name a few feet away.
