Y/N'S P.O.V

Before she could shot the others, I immediately stop her using telekinesis, ans then use mind control to make the others sleep.

"Y-Y/N!? What are you doing?" She ask while looking at me with wide eyes.

Before I could answer her, I drop on my knees and propos- jk.

I drop on the ground slightly panting causing Pakunoda to drop her gun and run towards me, "h-hey!! Are you okay!?" She ask worriedly.

'd-damn I didn't think I'll be tired as fuck when I use mind control on many people' I thought while sweat dropping at my stupidity.

"Ah, I'm fine *deep breath* Pakun-san.... I'm sorry but I won't let you die" I said looking at directly into her eyes full of seriousness.

She looks away and said "How do you know I was about to do that? And.... Why do you even care if I die? I'm a thief, just like you said I kill many innocent lives to get what I want. " She said  not making eye contact with me.

PAKUNODA'S P.O.V

'why did she saved me? What's her pla-' I snapped from my thoughts when I felt Someone hold my hand, I look at y/n, she's just looking at me with a soft smile.

"Pakun-san, everyone deserves a second chance. Yes, I know you do bad things but you can also change that. No one's perfect ya'know! That's why Pakunoda. I'll give you last chance. I'll bring you to another place away from the Troupe, I know it will be hard for you but.... Instead of dying why don't you enjoy life? A Normal life without Nen." I was surprise at what she said, I just stared at her tears streaming down my face.

"B-but I don't know where I'll go... I-I don-" she immediately cut me off, " Pakun-san, Go with me. You saw my memories I always go treasure hunting right? I recently buy this house near a beach, that place is a private property, not a crowded place. I'm sure you'll love it there. You can live a normal life. You can have a normal work at the restaurant there." She said.

I just look at her but I don't see any signs of lying, I can't believe she's willing to help me. Give me new life. Give me second chance.

"I-I can't w-why I-I can't w-we're enemies, y-your f-friends will be m-mad. I-I-" She immediately hugs me causing me to completely break down. I sob at her arms and she just pat my back in comfort.

"Mah Pakun-san, I told you right? Everyone deserves a second chance. Bad or good, people will change. Don't worry okay? I'll be here for you." She said while broking the hug. She looks at me and then wipe the tears from my face.

" Now let's go? I'll be taking care of them, I'll use my mind control and replace their memories.. gomen Pakun but I need to make them think you're really dead to assure your safety. " She said I only nodded not able to mutter a word. 'she's really kind... '

Y/N'S P.O.V

After I tell that, I fully focus on replacing the others. The memories I put there is Pakunoda's memories and feelings, that I didn't make it in time and that she also shot me causing my memories of her erase. 'sigh I'll pretend I didn't know her'.

After that I apport Pakunoda's replacement with the help of Kortopi, He's the only one who knows my plan and that Pakun will live. He also promise that he won't tell anyone as long as Pakunoda is safe.

"H-how did you do that? I thought Kortopi is the one who can only do that?" Sh question, I look at her and smiled " Well, Kortopi knows you'll live. Since I need his help I told him about my plan in return. " I said while putting the " dead body" down.

With that I look back at Pakun she's still clearly shock and still processing what just happened by the looks of her face.

I walk towards her and holds her hands, "Pakun-san we'll be going now... I'll teleport us there okay? I need to take you there first before waking them up" With that she looks at the others one last time and then looks at me and nodded.

___________

Arriving at the place, a small cozy beach house is now infront of us,

(We rich yah (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞)

We went inside, she's looking around while admiring the beautiful house.

"Pakun-san, I need you to promise me two things." I said causing her to look at me and then sits infront of me with serious face.

"First don't ever use Nen, okay? If you're having trouble this bracelet will help you. " I said while handing her the bracelet.

" What will this do?",she ask while examining the bracelet. "That? I happened to cross on a store for Hunters you see, and I saw that. I suddenly thought of you that's why I buy one." She smiles at me and nods.

" Now second, enjoy your life here, okay? Of course I'll visit you here. " I said while smiling her eyes become teary and she immediately hugs me. "Arigato y-y/n, I-I don't know how to return t-the favor to you". She said while tightening the hugs.

I just smiled at her and then said "Just be happy Pakun-san, that's enough for me. I need to go now, my friends will be worried and I still need to handle the other Troupes. " I said while standing up. She looks away guilty written on her face.

"Hey! Don't give me that face! It's fine I promise!!" I said while giggling and with that I teleported back to the hideout.
________

I stumble slightly when I made contact with the ground. "Ow fuckk! Yup I need a good night sleep after this, using teleportation and Mind Control is not a fucking good idea".

And with that I quickly start my acting. 👁️👄👁️

SHALNARK'S P. O. V

Before Pakunoda could shot us Y/N suddenly appear out of nowhere and with that everything went black.
_

Slowly opening my eyes, I saw the others are also waking up.

"Ughh, what the duckling just happened?" looking forward I saw y/n slowly getting up, she saw Pakunoda's body laying beside her. H-huh? W-who's this? " She suddenly ask.

'oh yeah.... Pakunoda is dead, she sacrifice her life for us. She also erase y/n's memories of her.... '

_____

After some talks and explaining. I saw y/n about to leave. I quickly call her.

"Y-Y/n!! Wait!"I yell at her making her stop. " Oh? Shal-kun? Yes? You need something???" She ask while looking at me.

'atleast I get to tell her about my feelings even if I know I don't have a chance. ' I thought while taking a deep breath.

Y/N'S P.O.V

I look at Shalnark he kinda looks serious.... What the hell? Does he realize it was fake!?

I-I need to tell you something" he said not looking at me. " Y-yeah? Sure what is it? " I ask, he was silent for a while until he said something making my eyes widen.

"I-I like you....." He said while looking directly into my eyes.

S-shit this can't be happening, I may say they're hot but.... I-I love someone else..'

I was about to say something but he continued, "I know we just met but I just can't help it..... And I know you don't feel the same way... I- it's just I still wanted to tell you how I feel about you... I know you love that white haired boy... But can we atleast be... Friends?" He ask I smile sadly and then hug him.

" Gomen Shal-kun. And of course we can be friends!" I said as he hugs me tighter. " Arigato, Y/N."

With that we broke from the hug and I look at him one last time and then teleport back at Killua and the others.
_____

"If he ever hurt you, just know that I'm always here for you." Shalnark said looking at the starry nights, tears threatening to fall.

With one last look, he smiled sadly and then walk back towards their hideout.
