Akari gulped as all eyes fell onto her, a bead of sweat trickling down her face. "-Hey-?"  

Machi rolled her eyes from the corner. Franklin, Feitan and Shalnark were staring at her oddly. Shizuku cocked her head in question. Pakunoda rose from sitting position, walking over to the confused girl. "Are you ok?" She asked Akari holding her hands in her own. Akari looked up at her questioningly. "I told u I was fine-" She said quietly thanking Paku for her concern but telling her it wasn't necessary. 

Pakunoda nodded, but still stared at her while the others continued their original tasks. Akari gasped as Paku pulled her away from everyone. "Wha-." "Boss was about to go look for you, if not for his assignment." Akari's eyes widened but she held her tongue as Paku continued. "He didn't tell us why, but he said he needed you back here before he came back." Akari gulped, hands twitching at her sides. Swallowing dryly she let out a hoarse laugh. "And ah, he didn't tell you why he wanted to see me-?" Paku shook her head, and Akari chuckled nervously. 

"I hope I'm not in trouble with danchou." 'what if i am?! no there's nothing that i've done wrong. chrollo's just being weird about things.'

"He did want me to give you this." She handed Akari a small piece of paper, still sealed shut. 'what-'  Akari quickly thanked her- "Thank you Paku." -then headed to a corner of the room away so she could read it. Biting her cheek nervously she broke the seal and lowered her gaze to the paper.

My dear Akari,

I profusely apologize for my actions.

I wasn't thinking.

'no shit'

I hope you can forgive my actions towards you. 

It won't happen again.

Akari shrugged folding the paper back up and slipping it into her hoodie pocket. 'i mean he did apologize. but it's not in his character to apologize, especially to an employee. it's weird but i'm not going to make a big deal about it.'  Yawning, Akari wished she could be back in her comfortable bed in Heavens Arena. 'it's better than my other place, but i can't always stay there.' 

Walking back over to Paku she smiled wearily up at her. She chuckled looking down at the tired girl. "I'm not going to ask what happened when you were gone." Akari laughed and nodded her head. "Yeah you don't even wanna know." "Mmm." "I am tired though, so just tell me when he gets back here?" "He-? Hisoka?" Akari shook her head, "No Chrollo." "Oh, sure." She smiled and walked away from him, heading up to her room.

"Hello darling~" 

Akari swiftly swiveled around to face Hisoka.

"Oh you're back faster than I expected." Hisoka hummed in affirmation, taking a step toward her. "Yes~" Her eyebrows furrowed as her gaze raked over him. "So Gon-? And Killua were able to pass then?" He nodded flipping out his cards, they gold ones they had bought together. "I see you're wearing what I got for you~" Akari squinted her eyes up at him. "I got them not you." "Ah yes but who payed for it-?~" Akari huffed and moved past him. "Chrollo isn't here." "I know~ What's that~" He pointed to the letter sticking out of her pocket and Akari rolled her eyes. "It's out of character for him, but he wrote me a letter." Hisoka peered down at her. "-Letter~?" She nodded heading to sit down on her bed, Hisoka followed, even with the disapproving look from her. "About~?" "He apologize for hurting me." "Ah~" Hisoka leaned against her wall as she groaned, lying down in her bed. "You're in pain, dear~?" Akari glared up at him from the corner of her eye. "Yes." She hissed, she raised her hand,  flipping him off. "Your fault." Hisoka chuckled, taking another step towards her.                                                                                                                              "Bruh, go away." She closed her eyes, focusing on not rolling onto her side. "Why are you in pain darling~" She snarled at him, eyes still closed. "I have fucking bruises all over my body. I'm in pain." Hisoka grinned and settled on the edge of her bed and Akari scowled as she felt the dip in the bed. "Go away. People already think we were together." "But we were~" "Not the point. They know you're here?" "No~" "Oh." "Exactly~"
