USEFUL ? Illumi x Reader

Illumi knocked on my door on august 7th, after I re-read my book and had some notes for changes down. He was in his disguise, a purple mohawk, horrifying red eyes, a mechanic smile and needles, gold needles everywhere on his face, on his body... I squinted my eyes mostly to see less of the freak he was. "What's the attire for?"

"We're going to the Hunter chairman election." If there was a way to narrow more my eyes, I would've found it right there. 

"What's this random proposal, Illumi? You do not care for the Hunters... What will you be doing in the premises?" His head tilted in phases, like a clock ticking time, making me cringe even more, how much would that hurt? Needles stuck everywhere in your body... When did the pain become bearable for him? What did he think before being broken and melted to fit the Zoldyck mould?

"I do not care for the election; I have things to do." He repeated in his own words, I rolled my eyes and looked around hoping to find an excuse to stay. There was none. I sighed, wondering why he would want me out of the manor so strongly as to take me with him to attend his 'things'.

"Now?" I whined walking to my closet.

"Now." He closed the door behind him and leaned against it. I stopped, hands on the elaborate closet handles, an eyebrow arched and eyes pinning him down.

"I'm not sure if you understood that it was your key to leave and let me change."

"There isn't something I haven't seen already, why would I leave?"

"Human decency. But you don't have that, my bad." I rummaged the clothes in the closet, they were slowly fitting my tastes better and better. A pleased huff of air left my lips as I picked a nice outfit, comfortable enough to fight but good looking enough to feel like a decent normal being. Not that it'd matter if the freak of a disguise, Illumi had found would stand nearby. Normality... Ah one could only wish for it.

I changed quickly, not because Illumi was staring, but certainly for the coolness his presence had risen in the hair. I skipped to the bathroom, for the basics, deodorant a glance in the mirror, a slight tug at the clothes so they looked better.

When I returned to the room, Illumi's red eyes met mine and with a probably painful head tilt, that I assumed meant something along the lines of 'are you ready?' to which I nodded in agreement. He opened the door smoothly, allowing me to go first, like a gentleman would. Or like someone who doesn't want to get stabbed in the back would... there were many ways of looking at one's gesture. 

The trip was silent, as they usually were, Illumi seemed immersed in his thoughts. Odd. I stared at him shamelessly, as my own thinking started off. He wanted me out of the house, but he doesn't want me to know what we'll be doing in the election... 

"What happened to the last chairman?" My voice was soft, a calm whisper as my eyes were still on the sharp figure that was Illumi in disguise. 

"He died fighting the Chimera Ants." I hummed, thinking that maybe the chairman was Zeno's acquaintance. Made sense for the hunter association to be led by a strong man with important connections. 

"What will you be doing?" No answer came from Illlumi, my eyes narrowed, nerves flowing through my skin. "What will I be doing?"

"Sightseeing, maybe, do whatever you want on town and then I'll schedule when we meet." My eyebrow rose, this man had the incredible ability of ticking me off. Somehow... But maybe I could use this free reign to my advantage. "Oh right, Y/N." He said finally meeting my eyes. "You can't take your needle off until we meet again, that goes for asking people to take it off for you as well." His voice was serious, the absent-minded tone gone. I rolled my eyes, well that would be off my plans... It was like he could read my mind. When we arrived he simply stated. "Go off somewhere, meet me in this airport on August 10th." 

I smiled politely, shining in pretends of enjoying my liberty. Ran off to the commercial part of town, only to pretend I was going on a shopping spree, surely Illumi wouldn't think weird of it. 

Two hours later, I was back on the airport, getting on a zeppelin back to the Zoldyck state. He didn't say I couldn't go back, and I sure wanted to know what the heck was going on. Hehehe.

I arrived late, late as in 3 a.m. late, but that didn't matter I swung the testing gates open, and whispered "Mystery, mystery, where are you hiding...?"

I walked into the manor to find Kikyo in distress, in one of the many corridors. "Oh my... what is going on, sweet mother-in-law?"

"Killua returned home, for Alluka." Well, that was a new name, in her daze she didn't even seem to acknowledge the free information she had given out, but I pieced it together. So there was a fifth child between Killua and Kalluto to make the name game complete. I-llu-mi, mi-llu-ki, ki-llu-a, a-llu-ka, ka-llu-to... Now why was she hidden?

When Kikyo finally settled down, I saw the red dot turn my direction, and her lips tighten. She didn't mean to tell me that, but it was already done. I smiled, finally feeling a win in this house. "What are you doing here, Y/N?"

"Illumi left me alone, I was so lonely. Decided to return earlier and maybe ask for some relationship advice from you." 

With her lips still shut tight together, a high pitched "Hmm" was muffled but heard. 

"I think that it's a bit too late to conceal the secret, Kikyo." Her visor shook and her hand clawed my arm, nails digging into my skin as she dragged me through the corridors.

We arrived into a dark room, there were many screens and computers gathered, there stood Silva easily recognized in the darkness for his long curly white hair, next to him sat Milluki in front of a large screen, the only lit screen, that displayed a video of Killua and another child playing.
