Killua X Reader [An Endless Bond]

[33] Mystery

Finally, your back touched the wall, narrowing down your options for escape. You took a deep breath, gaining back your composure as you re-solidified your Ten.

"Look, I don't know who you are or what you want... but please stay away from Killua and Alluka!" you exclaimed, balling your hands into fists.

He tilted his head, growing more and more amused. "Stay away~?" He chuckles, looking straight at you. "(Y/N)-chan, you could say the same for yourself ♢."

'H-Huh...?' 

"N-No, what are you talking about?!" You glared at him. "There's no way I'm doing that!"

Finally, he sighs, though his amused smile never left his lips. It was almost as if he was expecting your response. "Ah~ too bad then~ ♤" he chuckled. "Sad to see another toy get destroyed even before I get to play with them~"

An uneasy feeling settled into the pit of your stomach as he said that. 'What the hell is this guy's deal?!' You thought, feeling your blood start to simmer and boil.

Your balled fists started shaking with anger as a deep frown overtook your features. "Stop saying that..." you mumbled, with a red-hot glare to match.

"Oh?" He stared directly at you, watching your gaze intently with a smile you couldn't really describe. "I like that look on your eyes, (Y/N)-chan~ ♡" he muses once more with that honeyed tone of his.

Feeling a chill run down your spine, you gritted your teeth, facing him with an even darker glare. "Just... stop saying that already!"  You exclaimed, raising a fist and focusing most of your aura onto it. 

He only stared at you with an amused smile as he watched your Ko concentrate around your fist. Licking his lips, he watched you in anticipation as you focused on your aura.

Every part of your body was telling you this was a bad idea. Every part of your body was telling you that this was dangerous. However, as you remembered his warning about Killua and Alluka, you couldn't help but have the urge to fight.

With your nen-concentrated fist, you swung at him as forcefully as you can. In no time at all, it was merely inches away from making contact with his smug face. 

Suddenly, you felt something hold you back, stopping you from going any farther.

'What?!' 

It caught you off-guard, as the aura around your fist quickly dispersed. With a panic-stricken look, you whipped your head around, only to see a familiar set of blue eyes. Only this time, they seemed like a cold, bottomless pit, devoid of the warmth and shine you were so familiar with.

"K-Killua?!" You widened your eyes, noticing his hand around your arm. 'He... stopped me,' 

"(Y/N)..." Killua made a slight frown, before turning to Hisoka, who was still wearing that same smile. 

You saw his frown grow deeper as he began to release hostile aura. Seeing him this way, you tensed up immediately, gulping nervously. 

'I haven't seen him this way since we saw Illumi... is this clown related to Illumi somehow?'  You thought to yourself, gazing at Hisoka through the corner of your eye.

Killua only kept his icy glare fixated on Hisoka. "What the hell did you do to her?" His deep voice was laced with silent fury. Putting a protective arm around your shoulders, he pulled you towards his chest. 

'H-Huh?!' 

Hisoka merely chuckled, looking Killua up and down. "Ahh~ Killua. You've improved. I assume you've been training hard?"
