The Magician and The Dragon (Hisoka x Reader)

XVIII

We stayed up till 3 watching crime shows and eating junk food. The peak of us living together, all that's missing is Killua. I hope he's doing okay. I should probably tell him to bring Gon and the others to the ceremonies. I'd love to have them there. 

Eventually, Illumi and I fall asleep on the couch and get up with the sun blinding us through the window. Illumi was already gone when I woke up, so it's only been me in the house all morning. Maybe I'll go for a stroll in the town. Been a while since I did that. 

One shower later, I throw on a black cross-back halter neck bodycon dress with a side slit. It's one of the dresses Ash bought. It does stick to my figure rather nicely, hey. I got my mom's body so I'm grateful. She was a beautiful hourglass figure. Thankfully I inherited that. My hair actually went back to its natural loose curl look so I leave it open, adding some simple black sandals and a pair of silver hoops to match I head out leaving Mizuki and Mike to bond. They're rather fond of each other so why separate them.

First stop, some ice cream. The best ice cream in town is these frozen droplets of sorbet or any ice cream you like. They melt in your mouth leaving a sweet aftertaste. It's my favorite. The owner of the store is actually an acquaintance of mines. His father owned the store but passed a while back. So he took over. He's successful with about 4 other stores, one in York New City managed by his sister.

"Looks like someone was too lazy to put pants on today." He chirps at me as I walk in through the sliding doors. The store is pretty big, a large grey counter with a display case and register, tables all around, even outside seating. It's pretty simple and chic. 

"Pretty much so. The usual please." I get the blue raspberry shots every time. It's like a cocktail in crunchy sorbet form.  The store is pretty quiet so Alex makes himself one and sits with me. The serving size is big. The cup is bigger than the palm of my hand and probably 3 inches in depth. We end up mindlessly chatting for a while, random topics just arising. 

A little girl around the age of 7 comes through the doors and up to me.  She's from the village nearby. They're recognizable by the simple clothing they wear. The little girl with beautiful chocolate skin, bright blue eyes, and curly raven hair stands next to me, almost too shy to speak.

"Ex-excuse me miss, are you Y/n Kazumi?" She asks kindly. Her eyes go back and forth from me to the ground. Her little body is shaking.

"I am little one. What can I do for you?" The little girl brings her hands from behind her back and puts a piggy bank on the table.

"There's a man in my family, He hits me and does really bad things to me, my mother as well. She makes do awful things to her in order to earn my meals. They leave me outside in the cold at night with nothing but the clothes on my back. I know it's not a lot but could you please get rid of them?" She's full-on crying rivers of tears. This sweet innocent angel is put through all that. It's disgusting and unforgivable. Why would you use your own daughter for your sexual pleasures?

"Look at me little one." I get out of my seat and kneel to the girl's height. "Get rid of these tears." I take my hands and wipe away her tears. "You can keep your money. I'll take care of them, and give you a much better place to live. How does that sound?"  The little girl nods her head and smiles. "What's your name little one?" I put her on the chair next to me and send Alex to get her an ice cream

"I don't have a name." She admits twiddling with her thumbs. What kind of sick parents doesn't even name their child?

"Okay, how about Lilah?" I really just came up with it on the spot. "A pretty name for a pretty girl." She smiles wholeheartedly. I take Lilah shopping around town for some new clothes and some toys then head back to my house letting her explore around, with the company of a butler nearby. She played with Mike and Mizuki, even Illumi humored me by giving her a piggyback ride. Lying in my bed, all tuckered out, her little eyes close after an exciting day. Poor kid. This is probably the first night she's slept in a bed. With her asleep, I can keep my promise to her.
