H x H- Chapter 11: Confusion and Confession

~A/N: Thank you so much for reading this far! I truly never thought anyone would read my fanfic...considering my oc's are well...half human basically and it involves both Illumi and hisoka falling in love so...I haven't seen too many inhuman or half human oc's or x Readers in fanfics; thus I decided to make this, to try and make a difference. To show that even inhuman creatures and half human beings can be put into an interesting fic. Thank you all very much for supporting me and I have IllumiZoldyckFangirl to thank for the continuation of encouraging me as well as a guest who had reviewed me. Never thought someone would actually give me any reviews XD. Again thank you all so much- and no..this is not the last chapter lmao, Hope you enjoy this chapter! :D ~

Rui bolted through the halls swiftly in flight, with Illumi not that far behind. He felt that he had to stop her from leaving; Rui was unaware of Illumi tailing her, thus she paused in mid air and darted her head all over, to see where she was at. She was lost, she stopped flying and landed on her feet, whilst tears fell and hit the floor. Illumi had caught up but hid himself around the corner, hoping to stay hidden so he'd be able to hear her, if she were to talk to herself.

Her bug eyes were slightly narrowed from mourn, as her mouth barely hung open. "I'm a monster...a freak...an ugly insect...no one likes bugs so, why would anyone like me...?" Her voice wavered to show sobs in its tone, her legs gave out and made her fall on her knees, then her back bent forward with her head down. Her brown hair covered the sides of her face and hid the droplets, that fell from her ogles. "Hic- I-...I'm a...disgusting creature...Who in the right mind would...-" She were cut off by a disembodied voice.

"I have yet to be displeased by you...Rui..." Illumi's voice surrounded the hall, making Rui jerk her head up a bit, with a shocked expression. Trembling from crying so hard, she hesitated to peer behind herself. Illumi stepped out from around the corner, then walked over to her so he'd kneel by her side. His expression didn't hold any emotion but, Rui could see it in his aura that he was concerned about her.

Illumi's eye lids lowered over half of his black orbs, then tilted his head over to get in front of her face; They were only centimeters from each others nose, which made Rui's face turn red like a red rose. "I-I...Illumi...Y-You're too clos-" Right before she got to finish the last word, Illumi had softly kissed her lips. Rui froze, she couldn't move, couldn't think and resisted the urge to faint. That was her first kiss... She didn't understand, why would he like her?

Watching Illumi close his eyes while still in that position, she almost passed out. Before she even could, he backed up slowly and gazed at her with his blank face, even though his orbs were half lidded. "Will you...Be..." Illumi hesitated despite his emotionless demeanor, the suspense picked up in their atmosphere and made Rui widen her eyes a bit more. Though she had never been asked out before, she had seen it in action. The guy or girl would ask one another in the same way, Illumi's about to do."Mine...?" He finally asked, with a sudden jolt that even surprised Illumi, Rui had tackled him on to his back. She cried hard into his chest then rose her head, after feeling his hand rest softly on top.

Illumi stared into her mysterious yet beautiful pink eyes, that would gloss a lovely rainbow every time light were to hit them. His face flushed a tiny bit, from how she were on top of him, next thing he knew- she kissed him back after saying "Haaai~" with such a relieved and soft voice, while tears still threatened to fall. Illumi had wrapped his arms around her fit figure and kissed back with his eyes closed, that is until...a voice had cleared to break the moment.

"EH-HHHeeeemmmm!~..." Ruby cleared her throat purposefully, to gain their attention. Her hand to her mouth, while her eyes were shut; She opened her golden orbs and glared at Illumi and her twin. "I'm glad and all...That you fell for my sister and confessed..." She mentioned before muttering to herself vocally, after closing her hawk eyes "Finally..." then continued what she was going to say. "But must you do this...in the middle of the hall way...? I mean really..." She huffed then turned her head to look away in annoyance, whilst crossing her arms against her chest and leaning her back on the wall behind her.

Rui jumped up in embarrassment with a quick "Eeeep!". Her forearms against her torso and her face far redder than it was a minute ago. Illumi sat up and stood beside Rui, then moved his attention over at Ruby.

"Rui...?" Illumi asked to get her attention. Rui looked up at him in wonder, while Ruby did the same only with a stoic look. "Would you care to go to a bar with me...? I have to meet up with someone but, I also wish for you to be there...So we can- as others put it...Spend-some-time together..." Illumi didn't understand why he felt so anticipated but his guess was, it had something to do with having her tag along.

Rui felt over joyed at his question and let it show on her face. Excite and glee pouring off her features, as she jumped up and down like a jumping bean, whilst giggling up a storm. "Yes- Yes I would love to! But...can Ruby come with me...? I-I mean ….I'm not saying I don't wanna ...go..on a...d-d-...date...but, onee-san would probably worry over me!" She pleaded, not used to saying the word-date- in a sentence before, especially if she was referring to her and another person.

Illumi nodded, accepting her request to make her more comfortable. He was supposed to meet up with Hisoka, so he didn't mind. He knew Hisoka had strong feelings for Ruby; After all- Hisoka did ask Illumi once, if he'd help get Ruby to fall for him. Of course it took payment but, he agreed to do it none the less.

~~~Later that day~~~

"Oneeeee-saaaaan!" Rui yelled out in search for her twin but then heard her sister reply back from the distance.

"Haaaai, Rui?!" Ruby came out of a room, with a wash cloth rubbing the side of her face and eyes shut. She were tackled back into the room she came out of- with a loud thud; With the side of the door in view, to make it look like they both disappeared passed the door frame.

"What the hell Rui?!" Ruby shouted with comical white eyes and being flat on her back, trying to pry her off her torso.

"C'mon Nee-san! I wanna hurry, or else Illumi will leave without us!" Rui pleaded and whined, before making silly tears pour down her cheeks with her lids closed. She felt herself being lifted, surprisingly not by her sister though...but from...Illumi. He had flopped her over his shoulder, right out of the blue. Rui blinked her wide pink peers cutely; The scene turned everyone chibi. Illumi's eye lids were half way over his black orbs and Rui's gaze was big from curiosity.

"Illumi-Kun?" Rui asked whilst turning her head a bit, to look at him over her own shoulder. Her upper half hung down passed his back, while her lower half was over his front side.

"I see you are ready, Rui...Let us take our leave then." He spoke in his usual voice, as he walked down the halls with Ruby trailing behind.

Rui blinked her pink bug orbs cutely again, then nodded. After a few minutes of walking through the halls of his mansion, they had finally reached the drive way that were in front of their doors. Illumi had placed her in the passenger side of the car where Ruby were in the back seat. Ruby didn't mind sitting back there since she had more wing space.

It took nearly twenty minutes or more to drive down to Ilumi's favorite bar. Once they met their destination, Illumi got out and opened the passenger side's door to let Rui out, like a gentlemen and did the same for Ruby. They all made their way into the bar, many people gawked at the two new guests but didn't budge after seeing Illumi.

The twins followed behind Illumi as he made his way over to his 'friend' with red hair; sitting at the bar table with a shot of alcohol in a small glass cub, Hisoka rose his head at feeling Illumi's presence but were surprised at seeing his first love and her sister tailing him. The red-head smirked, wondering how Illumi managed to drag his sweet birdie here. She's not easily convinced unless it involved her sister or something she really liked personally.

"Hello, Illumi~" Hisoka greeted before shifting his golden orbs behind Illumi to see his arch-angel. She still hadn't noticed him..let alone heard him. She must be heavily distracted by something. He peered over in the direction where a group of men at a table who were...dead drunk, seeing as how they were looking at her with hungry eyes. He noticed they weren't ordinary men since he could sense their nen rising. Hisoka's smirk dropped and a grip tightened around the glass cup, almost breaking it. Illumi looked in his direction and seen those men then exposed a large amount of Ren to try and scare off the other nen users, which worked. The men all scurried their way out of the bar with haste, in fear of their own lives whilst Hisoka had almost slipped a card into one of the men's heads but didn't since he had purposefully missed and made his card hit the entrance's door frame.

"H-Hisoka!...H-..hi..." Ruby were surprised at seeing Hisoka, her face slightly flushed at the site of him, then turned her gaze away to try and hide her barely flushed face; which made Hisoka smirk in victory.

"You weren't teasing those men, with your angelic beauty- now were you?~" He jokingly asked with a wink and his mocking grin. He were punted on top of his head by Ruby hysterically, leaving Rui chuckling to her self with her hand over her mouth. "Kawaii-neeeh" Rui said in her mind.

"Baka! You of all people, should know I don't do that crap!" Ruby replied after bonking him on the head. Her eyes white and wings sprawled out in comical anger.

"Shall we discuss some matters, Hisoka...?" Illumi asked after sitting down beside him on a bar stool.

"Yes, hey dear twinies- do make yourselves comfortable while we're here. We'll be talking about business so, would you mind going else where until we're done? Do enjoy yourselves...I'll keep a close eye on you, ruby gem~" Hisoka asked but said the last sentence darkly, almost as if obsession rolled over his tongue. At that- one of Ruby's eyes twitched before turning around to sit at a table in the distance, with Rui in tow of course.

After they had passed the hearing range of him and Illumi, Hisoka turned his attention to Illumi. "You know...Ruby's the first one to ever feel irritated instead of getting scared by my presence, well when I try to spook her at least- it doesn't work.." He muscly told illumi then looked down at his now 'broken cup.

"Perhaps it's her natural strong will, that prevents fear from Ren and Zetsu... I too have tried scaring her with my Ren, but it appeared to me that she were unfazed and had not noticed me trying to force fear in her..." Illumi replied until the bar tender came up and asked what he wanted to drink.

In the middle of discussing important information, the twins were ….dancing? Rui were twirling around and making beautiful dance movements to a song that played on the speakers while Ruby were being forced to dance with her twin. Ruby had an annoyed look about her and Rui were as care-free as could be.

Time had passed and after the two guys were done conversing with one another, they got up and walked over to the twins. Hisoka smiling in amusement while Illumi had his head tilted to the side in puzzlement. The twins were acting silly, Rui kept trying to pounce on her but also kept failing since Ruby would jump out of the way in irritation.

"Stop it! Rui we're in publi-" She got cut off when Rui finally managed to tackle her to the ground.

"Yaaaay, I got you!" Rui cheered happily, then got off after noticing Hisoka and Illumi watching their little wrestling moment.

"I see you two were...playing~" Hisoka teasingly said with a wink. Illumi walked passed him to Rui and rose her head using two of his fingers under her chin. With that move, it made Rui grow a deep red. Not only by his action but also the rarity on his face! He were softly smiling with narrowed eyes, down at her whilst a very small and faint flush on his cheeks.

"I-I-I L-Lumi!" Rui flustered at the same time, turning her head from his gaze and out of his finger hold. She felt Ruby push on her back, motioning her to go ahead and get close to him. Ruby knew she actually loved him, thus she didn't want to get in between him and her. Walking over to Hisoka and standing beside him, she was smiling softly at the scene of Illumi's arms, being wrapped around her twin. Ruby crossed her arms against her bust and had a gentle look in her eyes, more from relief.

Hisoka looked at her gaze, he thought she looked even more pretty with that softened feature on her face. He smirked, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against him on his side. "Must you be so distant with me...? Why won't you give me another chance...?" As if on que, Ruby's face lit up; Her eyes widened, smile faded and her body were stiff. She surely wasn't used to that kind of affection but what snapped her out of her frozen state was...when Hisoka kissed her cheek. She jumped at his action and dramatically zoomed down to the other end of the bar shakily.

"I can't believe I actually felt comfortable there for a second, while standing beside him! What the hell's gotten in to me?!" Her mind spoke in worry, she heard chuckling from him and seen how his head were tilted her way, giving a mocking look. A victory smirk, narrowed golden eyes and...a longing emotion? She could feel that from across the room, which in turn- made one of her eyes twitch. Her eyes grew white in anger and her teeth gritted into view.

"What the hell was that for, you jerk?!" Ruby roared out as the outside view of the bar zoomed out comically.

Later it shown Hisoka sitting at the bar again, with an ice pack over a large lump on his head, whilst still having that look of success on his face.
