trade market.

the auction house couldn't accept their finds, so they went to a trade house next. since y/n didn't have anything to showcase or sell, she simply walked around and observed the different trinkets placed all around. paintings, furniture, jewelry, sculptures.
suddenly, as y/n crouched to look at a certain red vase, a man barged in, stopping the shop keeper. y/n was listening to the conversation, the shop owner was suspicious at that. as the man walked to the counter y/n also stood and sneakily went to killua's side.
she hadn't listened much after that, but when she heard the supposed trove open, she looked to the treasures held inside. gold and jewelry spilled out from the wooden trove once it was opened. the man that helped them was zepile, the one they kept seeing betting on items.
they all sat down for lunch (as gon seemed indebted) and y/n had became full before the rest of them, so she picked at her food. she scooted closer to killua, their legs touching. killua couldn't move over, as gon was right at the end of the seat.
so he decided to just let y/n do whatever. she giggled lightly to herself, as she thought he allowed her more permission. y/n placed her hand atop of killua's, when his eyes met their hands then y/n's eyes, y/n smiled.
she smiled and looked to zepile. killua ignored it, despite his light blush on his cheekbones. they all walked together as zepile explained exposing, welding, and other things that y/n didn't have too much interest into. a ring came from gon's phone, almost stabbing the air with its ringtone.
he quickly pulled out his beetle phone and placed it to his ear. "hello? what? a spider?" gon exclaimed. "killua, y/n, let's go!" the three ran off, leaving everything behind. they trusted zepile to the auction, telling him to get a good price.
leorio had apparently found information on the troupe and two were out in the open then. a man and woman both sat outside, just sitting there. it was sort of menacing. the woman had pink hair and the man had long black hair.
she couldn't get a clear look of their faces but she could tell the woman was pretty from just her hair. "she seems pretty.." y/n muttered to herself. "how do we catch those two?" leorio asked them. "it's impossible, we're not strong enough." killua stated.
y/n could just tell from looking at them once. they were sticks compared to them. "so, why do you think they're here?" y/n asked, looking to killua. he explained that they're acting as bait, to lure their enemies out.
sweat dripped off y/n's face, she hadn't felt this way in a while. the atmosphere changed drastically. "act normal." killua stated. leorio and gon's faces were painted with faces that were raise suspicious rather than bring it down.
killua saw that y/n was perfect at seeming normal. of course, she had been so good at it by practice. it wasn't like it was the first time she had done something like that. "they're moving." y/n said in a sweet voice. "what should we do?" leorio added.
"well, we can't beat them in a fight." killua stated again. "we'll find a way.. somehow.." leorio glanced out the window. "we can't leave empty handed." gon said. "okay.. listen carefully." killua stated and y/n leaned to killua. "gon, y/n, and i will tail them."
"we absolutely cannot be spotted. we'll use zetsu." killua stated and activated his zetsu. killua explained all the minor details, keep your phones on vibrate and if spotted run away, things like that. the three took on the task to follow behind the two members.
y/n moved diligently and quietly. she stayed in contact with killua and gon, updating them on anything and everything. she didn't notice any kind of sign of the two troupe members knowing their existence, so she could calm her anxiety a bit.
"y/n!" a harsh voice called to her, making her head turn. she knew that voice. it was one of the one's she hated the most. the voice that tortured her even if it wasn't physically. the one voice she couldn't afford to hear right now.
