(Guard ^ minus the sword-)

"You.. You bitch! You killed my boss!" She yelled, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sure they didn't pay that well." I respond. All I have to do is buy time, Illumi should be here soon, probably.

"I loved them! How could you!" She shouted.

"Talk about unprofessional..." I mumble underneath my breath.

"Why.. why did you do it.." Is she speed running grief? "Tell me.. please... I spent so long trying to get them to notice me.. so why.."

"I'm an assassin, it's what I do." I respond. Saying 'I'm an assassin' is weird, eh, I'll get used to it.

"You.. You just come in, and don't even care that they love you!?" Still on anger apparently.

"Cool, can I go now?" I ask.

"No! I'll kill you! I'll avenge my boss, then kill myself to be with them!" The guard shouts, now charging at me. Not good. There's three windows in the main room, one in the bath room, and one door. That's five exits, escaping should be my main priority. I quickly jump towards the windows.

"Don't even try! I won't let you escape, you have to pay!" She shouts, blocking the windows. Fuck, she's fast and smart.

"Y'know, I came in here to stop the boss, at the time I thought the worst possible thing I could see was you already doing it, even seeing them killing you would've been better! Now I know, that this is the worst thing that could ever happen!" She shouts, punching me in the gut.

"So them.. killing me would've... been better?" I choke out, another punch like that and I'll be knocked the fuck out.

"Of course! Even if they were a murderer I'd still love them! They were the only one who was kind to me!" The guard shouts. So, time to listen to her sob story while I wait for Illumi.

"Kind to you?" I question. Gotta keep her talking.

"Everyone else hurt me, they stood up for me, protected me. I guess I'm selfish because after all that, I wanted more, I wanted them to love me."

"But Enough about me. I'll kill you!" Fuck. Escape, escape, escape!

In a split second she was in front of me, punch aimed at my face. I quickly sidestepped, allowing her fist to fly past my head.

I barely evaded a kick to the legs before she was attacking again.

She lunged at me, attacking again, and again, and again, barely giving me time to dodge.

She grabbed my wrist, aiming another a punch at my face. I ducked, hurting my wrist in the process, before kicking her in the face, freeing myself.

I continue to fend off her attacks, getting more damaged by the minute.

Fucking hell Illumi, it'd be a great time to show up! Fuck! I sidestep, barely dodging another punch.

"Stay still!" She yells, giving me time to jump back, putting some distance between us. How to escape.. Cmon! Stop attacking me for one second!

I duck, avoiding another attack, my full attention on the guard. I slice her leg with my claws, hopefully slowing her down.

"When did you get a knife!?" The guard yells, jumping back from the sudden pain.

I don't respond, instead using the momentary confusion to look for a way to escape. Shit, all the exits are blocked! Well, I'm fucked.

"I'll kill you!" She shouts, charging at me once again, this time a bit slower. I have an easier time dodging her attacks, though I still needed my full attention on her.

"You're getting slow." I taunt, the angrier she is, the easier it is to calculate her next attack.

I sidestep, dodging another punch, before backtracking to avoid a kick. "Awww, this is getting boring." I add.

I evade another attack, this time stabbing her arm, causing her to jump back again.

"You'll die from blood loss before you land a hit on me." I state, staring at her.

"Try.. to.. huff.. dodge... this.." She says, powering up a Nen attack. Welp, I'm dead.

The guard suddenly fell down, three pins in the back of her head. Well it's about time he got here.

"Hey." Illumi says, awkwardly waving.

"Hey." I respond.

"I didn't realize a guard was still with him, sorry." Illumi adds.

"It's fine, I've had worse." I replied.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"So, what's your favorite color?" I ask, now laying down on the floor.

"...Black." Illumi replies.

"Cool."

"..."

"..."

"What's your favorite color?"  Illumi asks, sitting beside me.

"F/c" I reply.

"Cool."

"..."

"..."

"What do you do for fun?" I'm terrible at this.

"I don't have fun." Illumi answers.

"..."

"..."

"What do you do for fun?" Illumi parrots. God, we're both terrible at this.

"I text grown men." That came out wrong, but oh well.

"..."

"..."

"We're both fucked up, aren't we?" I question,

"Yes." Illumi replied.

"..."

"..."

"See any good shows recently?" I ask.

"I saw a child fall, does that count?" Illumi replies.

"Sure." I respond.

"..."

"..."

"See any good shows recently?"

"I saw a child drop their ice cream cone, does that count?"

"What's an ice cream cone?" What!?

"You don't know what an ice cream cone is!?"  I question.

"No?"

"Tomorrow we're going to get you an ice cream cone." I state, waiting for Illumi to refuse.

"We should probably see a good show while we're at it then." Illumi adds. Wait what?

"You have humor!?" I practically yell.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Illumi replied.

"You sly son of a bitch."

"I am free tomorrow, seeing how this mission got done early." Illumi says.

"Perfect! It's a date then!" I say, sitting up.

"..."

"..."

"No- wait! I didn't mean it like that!" I shout.

"We'll have lots of fun on our date" Illumi mocks.

"I hate you." I reply, turning away from him.

"You wouldn't go on a date with someone you hate, now would you."

"Fuck off."

"Aww, but what about are date?" I liked you better without humor.

"Our date is tomorrow, so fuck off." I reply.

"So you admit it's a date?"

"...You want to date me that bad?"

"...Sure, I'm closer to your age then Killua." (I'll be aging down the love interests, and Illumi is a guaranteed love interest, because I'm a ✨Simp✨)

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...You play video games?" I ask.

"Never had time." Illumi responds.

"..."

"Do you?" He asks.

"(Yes/no)."

"..."

"..."

"Do you have a favorite way to murder people?" Illumi asks.

"...Slicing their neck I guess, it's effective. You?" I reply.

"Pins, also effective." Illumi replies.

"..."

"What's your favorite season?" I ask.

"Don't have one. You?"

"F/s."

"..."

"..."

"We should go before they find us." Illumi said, standing up.

"Alright." I reply, following his lead. "Where are we headed?" I ask.

"I booked a hotel." Illumi responds, getting into the car. I follow Illumi into the car, and the butler starts to drive.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Read any good books lately?" I ask. I hate the awkward silence.

"Yeah, (random book name)"

"Cool."

"You?" Illumi asks.

"Yeah, (favorite book)"

"Cool."

"..."

"..."

One awkward car ride later

"I'll be in room 202, you'll be in room 203." Illumi states, handing me the key.

"Alright." I reply, following Illumi down the hallway.

"You should also bandage yourself up." Illumi adds before going into his room. Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. I enter my room and look for bandages.

After finding them I bandage myself up, covering up a couple bruises. Perfect, now time for sleep! I flop onto the bed, instantly falling asleep.

Fun Facts:

• If the guard was in the right mindset Y/n would be dead. The guard being angry is what allowed Y/n to calculate her moves, thus allowing Y/n to win.

• It's possible that Y/n would've won without Illumi's help! Depends if they ended up dodging that last attack or not!

• Illumi is just a socially awkward introvert, nothing you say can convince me otherwise. Also he will joke around people he's completely comfortable with, in other words Y/n.

Extra Fun Fact!

• The fighting was shit =D I don't really care though, Wattpad readers will take anything they can get. Wait- Wattpad is like the Metor City of fanfiction- they'll take anything and everything they can get their hands on-
