Arena Angel
(Chapter 3)
Hisoka x reader; Chrollo x reader; Illumi x reader (might start off relatively slowburn as I build the story) Y/N used to work as an unofficial healer at the Heaven’s Arena, but was recently demoted and can no longer perform her side gig. Chaos ensues when her fav lil menace returns from an absence. (Adultrio x reader)
6pm came quickly. Everything felt so familiar, down to the smell of the elevator up to the vending machine always being out of the sugar free red bull. Despite the lack of available caffeine, you felt good.
You strolled over to your receptionist desk, preparing to get settled in, curious as to who would be making appearances this fine evening. After about 20 minutes of total isolation, you gave up your optimism, sighed, and pulled your phone out to look at instagram.
Scrolling through reels for a few minutes, an unusual notification popped up.
💧-_-⭐️: a little birdy told me you’d return tonight ~
Huh, you don’t remember having the clown on insta?
💧-_-⭐️: shall I come keep you company?
Hastily, you replied
Y/N: uhhhh that won’t be necessary.
Y/N: unless ur injured??? *winkwink* (I’m poor)
Goddamn clown. He left you on read.
Sighing exasperatedly, you clicked your phone off in favour of looking at the clock. Only 6:17pm. This was gonna be a long night.
“So it’s true then~ You’re little hustle is back in business, hm?”
“FUCK, you scared me..” You were borderline tachycardic; Hisoka has a really bad habit of sneaking up on people.
“Well well, someone’s jumpy tonight~” Hisoka grinned at you, leaning down over your desk to get even closer to you.
“I’ve certainly missed our little exchanges whilst you were away~ You simply can’t buy that sort of fun.”
You looked at him, confused, “But you did pay for them? That’s.. how it works?”
He simply smirked and backed away, seating himself on the floor at the junction of the hallway.
“Care for a game of cards? I’m expecting some.. guests this evening, and wouldn’t want to be bored waiting~”
You snorted at his suggestion. “No way, you always win. Texture surprise is like, literally MADE for cheating at cards.” You leant back in your chair, stretching slightly.
“You got any fun fights scheduled soon, Hisoka?”
He flicked a card at your head, which you swiftly ducked away from, before flicking it back. ‘The king of hearts. huh.’
“Hmm, I suppose that depends~ Are you hoping I injure myself to swindle me out of some cash, my dear?”
You grinned, leaning forward. “Oh, I would never.”
Hisoka’s eyes narrowed, his smile stretching, “in that case, I have a grudge match against that Kastro in the books. A formidable nen user indeed, and yet a foolish man. He won’t be much of an opponent~”
You sighed, disappointed. “Ah, how boring. I shan’t buy tickets then” you teased him lightly.
Suddenly, Hisoka released a flare of aura; or was it bloodlust? His ren always held such animosity, it was hard to tell.
“Ah, but I’m anticipating a rather stimulating battle in the near future; but I must be patient~ he’s not yet ready.” His eyes rolled back slightly, as he trailed off in thought. After a moment, you suggested,
“Would I be correct in assuming he is the guest you’re expecting?”
“Bingo~”
“How exciting. I’ll be sure to get front row seats - unless you want to extend your friends and family benefits to me, of course.”
Hisoka didn’t dignify you with a response, choosing to return his attention to his cards, shuffling and flicking them around playfully.
A few hours passed, largely in comfortable silence. You humoured Hisoka with a couple of games of old maid and a single game of bullshit, the complete and utter loss of which resulted in your storming off back to your desk, grumbling about integrity and honour.
You shivered slightly as you got up from your position seated on the floor. Hisoka’s eyes always had a tendency to follow movement with a predatory gaze, although your skirt being uncomfortably short certainly didn’t help the matter.
You glanced at the clock again. 8:23pm. What a boring shift.
The familiar ding of the elevator snapped you back into customer service mode as you stood up from your desk.
"Welcome to the 200th Floor! Congratulations on your success so far!" You gave a closed eye smile, grimacing slightly as you felt Hisoka's ren flare behind you slightly again.
"Woah, it's Y/N again!"
You opened your eyes, jaw dropping as you took in who stood before you.
"Killua? Gon? it's been like 2 days, how the fuck-? No, I shouldn't be surprised-" You muttered to yourself in confusion and amazement at the sheer audacity of these boys to have gotten here so quickly.
You felt a small tug on your sleeve, and you looked down to see Gon looking up at you. "Hey, Y/N, is it ok if we sign in now? We need to register for a fight, and I'm getting pretty sleepy."
"Huh? Oh, sure thing, kid. Just follow me, the check-in desk is just around the corner-"
Your words are cut off by a icy-cold flare of Hisoka's ren once again, this time filled with malice rather than excitement. You shiver, but continue forward. You may not be a combatant, but you're certainly still skilled at nen. What you fail to notice, however, are the two young boys frozen in fear and unmoving behind you.
"Well, well~ You've certainly grown stronger, the two of you. But listen~ neither of you are ready for this floor. You're desperately lacking in a fundamental you won't continue to grow without. Leave, and return when you're worth fighting."
"Cut the shit, Hisoka! We fought our way up here-"
Another fearsome wave of ren emanated from Hisoka. But, a new challenger approaches?
"Boys! You must turn back. You aren't equipped to deal with that man's ren. You are essentially naked in a blizzard."
"So what, Wing! Will you finally teach us what all this nen shit means?"
"It appears I have no choice. Come with me."
Finally, you find it necessary to pipe up, "Just so you know, if you don't register before midnight, Gon will have to restart from the bottom of Heaven's Arena and Killua will be barred from participating as he has already failed to register for a fight when he left years ago."
"Dang. Wing, can you guarantee we'll be finished before midnight?"
"No. But you don't have any other option. That man's aura is particularly malicious, and forcing your way through defenceless is certain death."
"Fuck. C'mon Gon, let's go - we have no choice."
With that, both boys descended the tower with the man in the untucked shirt, supposedly named Wing.
~
"Wait. Hisoka, don't tell me those boys are the guests you're expecting? You nasty freak, preying on little kids." You tease Hisoka.
"A freak? Certainly, my dear~ But you can sense it too, their potential. It's a shame Illumi would have my head if I touched his brother, so I'll have to settle for just Gon. Once he's fully matured, the battle will be spectacular~" Hisoka's eyes narrow, and he giggles lightly to himself. Utterly creeped out, you leave him to his devices, opting to nap at your desk until the boys inevitably return. Because of course they will return.
