   Illumi swiftly swooped y/n into his arms, and jumped out the window he busted, leaving chrollo behind

after all, he didn't know chrollo.

y/n was still out cold as illumi landed on the ground with her. He bolted for the forest surrounding the house. Illumi knew exactly where to go. fortunately, he planned everything beforehand.

elegantly running through the woods, illumi dodged bullets consistently fired by Azrain's bodyguards, who chased him down. some rode on electric motorcycles, others ran on foot. Illumi wasn't concerned about killing them considering his job was done. His only concern was getting y/n to safety

two motorcycles pulled in front of illumi, he instantly jumped into a tree and began to parkour instead. this slowed him down a bit considering he was holding a human body in his arms. To make it more durable, illumi threw y/n over his shoulder, now only holding them with one arm

shots fired up the trees. some of the bodyguards carried shotguns, causing tree branches to bust as they shot for illumi

illumi took the lead once again, leaping back onto the ground to run. He nudged y/n off his shoulder, and back into his arms.

"they're getting away!" "kill them!" men screamed as illumi continued to run, and dive bullets

The wind was against him blowing directly in his eyes, causing him to squint slightly. Even so, he never lost sight of his objective

The chase went on for another minute, illumi didn't grow tired. Perhaps it was just the adrenaline or the motivation from the task at hand

Suddenly, the bodyguards dropped like flies one by one behind illumi. But, he didn't look back for a second.

the destruction of motorcycles echoed along the wind, with screams of struggle and despair ringing against his ears. Then there was silence. No voices, no motors, only silence. The only sound was branches and leaves shuffling beneath illumis feet as he kept running

He looked down at y/n for a moment to make sure she wasn't hurt. re-focusing his attention on the tracks ahead, he noticed someone blocking his path, forcing him to make a short stop.

It was night, so it was difficult to see. the only source of light was the bright moon and stars displayed above.

However, illumi was still able to find it more than obvious, that it was a male figure blocking him. He was also well aware that they were responsible for killing those guards chasing him

"Who the hell are you." the man harshly questioned holding a book open

illumi recognized the man, and realized it was the person who helped retrieve y/n.

"chrollo..?" illumi recalled you saying a few moments ago when you had woken up in the man's arms

he wasn't sure how chrollo managed to fight off several guards on his own. Illumi left him for dead. He assumed that chrollo had to have been pretty powerful.
