Hello There

•3•

I stopped walking.

"~Hey~" Hisoka said. I kept a calm face, but inside I was panicking slightly.

"Were you following me?" I asked. Hisoka laughed.

"Yes but that's not what's important. Were you following that girl?" Hisoka spoke. I hesitated not sure of what to say.

"That's none of your concern." Is all I said. I could tell Hisoka was getting a kick out of this.

"Hmm? It looks like someone is stalking that girl." Hisoka smiled. I frowned.

"What do you want Hisoka? It's obvious I want to keep this a secret." I stated. Hisoka looked up from his deck of cards.

"What I want? Well I want to fight you, but right now doesn't seem like that right time for that. So instead I'll keep your secret, as long as you promise to fight me one day." Hisoka offered. Could it be that simple? Damn he's more of an idiot than I thought.

"Alright then we have a deal. I'll give my word to fight you, as long as you never speak a word of what you saw here." We both shook on it. Hisoka began to walk away. I just stood there until I heard his voice again.

"Also if you need any help with that girl, just ask." Hisoka said. I was shocked.

"What do you mean help?" I asked.

"Well you know, if you ever want to...take the girl. I can help." My eyes went wide. I took a step back.

"Hisoka, that's not my intentions with this girl. I just happened to see her, and I wanted to make sure she got home safely." I tried to convince Hisoka. No...I was more trying to convince myself.

"Ah yes I see. Well maybe convince yourself of things before trying to convince others. My offer still stands." Before I could say anything else, Hisoka walked away. Disappearing into the shadows.

I blinked a few times. Hm is that really what this whole thing looks like? I mean it wouldn't be that hard to kidnap her. I could do it right now actually.

I stopped my thoughts. I looked back at her house. No stop it. If I were to do that, I would never be the same again. I looked away from her house, and quickly started walking off. This walk was suppose to clear my mind. Instead I'm even more confused.

Thought after thought of that girl wouldn't leave my mind. I almost couldn't stand it. The only thing that kept me from losing it was the nice thoughts of her. Her beautiful eyes and hair, her pretty smile. Everything suited her so well.

I walked back to the base. I took a seat and opened my book. Everything seemed weird in the base. Everyone was on edge. The atmosphere felt odd. I looked up to Hisoka. He just sat there being his normal self. With a deck of cards and a smile.

Suddenly an idea came to mind. What if I go to her house when she's not there? It's fine I won't take anything. I'll just look around then leave. That's all. I smiled at my idea.

Everyone looked up at me forming hearing my slight laugh.

"What's so funny boss?" Nobunaga asked.

"Oh nothing, just something in my book." I lied. Of course I knew this was wrong, but was I really doing anything wrong? I didn't think so. I wonder what her house is like from the inside? It seemed pretty big from the outside I-. I interrupted my own thoughts when something came to mind.

What if she has a boyfriend? That thought had not occurred to me until then. It seems rather odd for a girl to live alone in such a big house. An emotion took over me that I hadn't felt in a long time. Jealousy. It burned up inside of me very quickly. I calmed myself fast before anyone noticed.

It's alright, I'll just go and see for myself tomorrow while she's at work. If she does have a boyfriend, well I'm not sure what I'll do. Let's just hope she doesn't. That would be better for everyone.

I spent the rest of my night pretending to read my book while I thought of her. Nothing felt alright anymore after seeing her, and something told me nothing would ever feel right again.
