All of the applicants of the Hunter Exam had just arrived at the hotel for them to stay in three days before they could arrive in the Zevil Island for the Fourth Phase. All of them were waiting for some examiners because probably they're going to have some challenges but actually they found out that there were no examiners but two managers of the hotel so maybe they're not going to have some challenges for today.
"I don't feel so good...umph!" Leorio covered his mouth to prevent himself from vomiting.
"If you're gonna puke, don't do it here." Killua said.
"I think it's better for us to relax for a while, most of the days we've spent were pretty intense." Kurapika said.
"I think I should have a refreshing shower." Leorio said.
Some of the applicants started walking already for them to head inside and choose their rooms, but the two managers of the hotel stopped them before they're about to go already.
"Please wait,"
"In order for you to stay at the hotel, you should pay first."
"Eh? Then how much is it?" Hanzo asked.
"Ten million jenny," They answered.
They all hesitated with their faces looking very shocked. For them, it's not possible that they'll have that kind of money, others were already complaining about it.
"Ho- Honki da yo?" Leorio said. "There's no way we're going to have that kind of money, do we look like rich people to you?"
"Yeah, and it's way too expensive! With that kind of money I could stay in an expensive hotel for six months!" Tonpa added.
"Well, in that case, we won't allow you to stay."
"That's fine by me, I could just find someplace else to sleep!" Leorio said.
"We've got three days," Kurapika said.
Kurapika explained to Leorio about the situations if he'll stay here alone outside. There's going to be a lot of problems if they cannot stay in a hotel and some might not able to survive because of the dehydration they'll get.
"Well, what am I supposed to do?! I never had that kind of money in my wildest dreams."
"For your situations, you could find a way to pay for that cost."
"All you have to do is trade."
Both of the people in charge of the hotel explained it to them. They all ran and searched for some items to be found on the wrecked ships. All of them were mostly sure that every shipwreck had valuable treasures; others just swam down on the ocean because there might also be treasures below.
Others had already found some treasures and they already had their rooms and some are still searching because it's quite hard to find some treasures that are mostly hidden on the place that cannot be found, only the past people that hid it.
"Mitte, mitte! I found one!" Gon said.
"Nice one, Gon." Killua said.
"Kuso, I still haven't found even a single treasure..." Leorio said while searching from the boxes.
Kurapika was still finding some treasures all alone and he went into every ships but he still never found anything that's valuable. While he was still exploring, he found another shipwreck then went inside. He saw some dead people and he found that a corpse was holding something that looks familiar to him. He took it and went back because now that he found a treasure, he's going to trade it and get the key for his room.
They first tried checking the pendant then Kurapika asked them about the ship because he knew that it belonged to the Kuruta clan. But actually, he never received some information but anyway he got his key for his room and he also got his pendant back.
"You've found some treasures already? Sugoi ne, Leorio." Gon said.
"With these treasures, I'm going to become a doctor in no time. I don't even have to become a hunter anymore."
"Honki?"
"I'm very serious! I could spend my life rolling money-" Leorio fell down after he opened the box.
"What are those?" Gon looked at Killua and asked.
"They look like cannon balls to me," Killua answered.
"So, Leorio, are you going to spend your life rolling in money?"
After that, Killua and Gon showed the treasures that they've got. The hotel manager quite complained because of some gems that had scratch on it, so they got a second class cabin.
Killua complained because they worked so hard for it just to find those treasures and collect them.
"Even if they aren't perfect, Mito-san might love having some of this." Gon said.
"Gon, I'll be going somewhere, wanna come?" Killua asked.
"Nah, I'll stay here for a while, you go ahead." Gon said.
Killua went on alone leaving Gon and explored somewhere. He didn't really know where he's going but it'll be fun if Gon's with him. He was walking inside the hotel because he's planning to go to his room but he heard someone arguing.
"Why do I have to share a room with Kurapika? You know that I found a more valuable treasure." Hanzo said.
"Yeah, but..."
Hanzo saw Killua then he ran to him. He planned on switching a room with him but Killua doesn't actually know if he'll agree or not.
"Killua, please switch your room with me!" Hanzo pleaded.
"Well, if I'll switch with you, then Gon will be your roommate." Killua said.
"I don't care! What's important is that your room had a great quality." Hanzo took the key on Killua's pocket and ran over to his new room. "Ah, finally, a great room!"
Gon entered the room then he was surprised when he saw Hanzo right there.
"Hanzo-san?" Gon said.
"What's up, my new roommate?" Hanzo smiled, showing his teeth.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, I switched the room with Killua."
Killua had entered his new room then he saw that Kurapika was about to put on his shirt but then he blushed and look away.
"Ah! Hazukashi yo..." Killua said while looking back and blushing.
"What are you doing here? You should've knocked the door." Kurapika said with his shirt already putted on.
"Gomen, I didn't knew you were changing your outfit. Hanzo actually switched his key to me, he was supposed to be your roommate." Killua explained seriously.
"That's alright, I'm going out." Kurapika said heading to the door.
Killua didn't ask, he left the room together with Kurapika but they walked in different ways.
Gon walked outside of his room to find Killua. While he was approaching somewhere he saw Tonpa complaining to the lady to switch his room. When Tonpa saw Gon, he ran to him and asked him to switch rooms.
"Gon! Do you want to switch a room with me?" Tonpa asked.
"Eh? A- Ano..." Gon was looking down. He didn't know what to answer.
"I'm begging you! I can't really take that guy, so please switch rooms with me, onegai!" Tonpa pleaded at Gon, kneeling down and crying.
Gon had no choice anyway, just looking a Tonpa's face he really wanted to switch a room with him because probably he disliked his roommate.
"Ah, sure..." Gon nodded and gave the key to him.
"Arigatou!" Tonpa said happily. 'Heh, you probably won't be able to sleep well with him as your roommate.'
Gon entered his new room to check his new roommate, then he freaked out seeing Hisoka. He saw him making a card tower, he was really nervous that he couldn't move every part of his body.
Killua and Gon were outside, watching the ocean and grilling some fishes that they caught earlier for them to eat. Killua thought of exploring some more but Gon wanted to take a break for a while.
"So, how are you with your roommate?" Killua asked.
"I don't really know, I don't think I could return in that room for now." Gon said.
"Eh? Who are you with?"
"N-Never mind about that, who are you with?"
"Kurapika..." Killua answered.
"Souka..." Gon smiled. "Ah, I think the fish is ready, Killua hai..." Gon gave the fish to Killua.
"Sankyu," After he spoke, he bit the fish and swallowed it.
Gon intended to stay inside Killua's room for a while because like what he said, he cannot return in his room yet, he's afraid of Hisoka because he's really creepy so at Killua's room, since Kurapika's not here yet and he's outside, they wanted to kill some time in this room and talk about something.
"Ah, it's no use, I don't want to go back!" Gon exclaimed.
"C'mon, Hisoka's not that bad." Killua smiled, trying to calm him down.
"Then, why don't you switch with me? You deal with Hisoka and I'll stay here with Kurapika!" Gon didn't really mean it, he's just joking and it's not like he really wanted to switch with him.
"Dame desu, I'll sleep here with Kurapika." Killua said calmly.
"Ehh? Why don't you want to switch? I don't want to be with Hisoka!"
"You're such a coward; you can take himhe's just a stupid clown." Killua pointed his finger on Gon's forehead.
"Naru hodo, you like Kurapika don't you?" Gon chuckled.
"Chigau! I don't like him or anything..." Killua blushed and muttered.
"Nanda? You mean…you hate Kurapika?"
"It's not like that I like him of course..."
"I knew it! You do like him,"
"Oh c'mon, shut up you idiot!"
Both of them argued about it, Killua was reacting and his face was red which was obvious because he had a pale skin so the redness of his face could be noticed and Gon was messing with him because he kept on denying. Gon was just joking but Killua was making the situation serious and now it's really obvious that he probably had something he felt for Kurapika.
"I told you, just stop it!" Killua had hit Gon with his pillow.
"Wakatta, wakatta yo, geez Killua I was just kidding..." Gon said.
"Wakateru, but I don't like the way you mess with me." Killua turned away and crossed his arms.
As the two of them were still arguing, Kurapika entered the room then he saw Killua and Gon together, then both of them stopped talking.
"Hi, Kurapika!" Gon smiled.
"Gon...?" Kurapika was quite confused.
Killua punched Gon's arm and acted like he didn't do it.
"I heard noises a while ago..." Kurapika said.
"That was nothing, really!" Killua covered Gon's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense. "We were just talking about something that made us talk loud."
"Mm, mm..." Gon nodded then he removed Killua's hand. "I really have to go now before Killua could kill me."
Gon quickly walked away then returned to his room. He closed the door then sighed in relief. He actually forgot about Hisoka but he saw no one in this room so Hisoka probably walked outside but he heard water running from the bathroom and after that it stopped. That really didn't take a while, Hisoka got out of the bathroom wiping his red hair with towel then his gold eyes gazed at Gon.
Gon felt like he's not afraid anymore, he admits that Hisoka's not really creepy when he looked like that, he looks attractive and it made Gon blush.
"Kawaii..." Gon whispered.
Kurapika was sitting down on his bed reading a book, while Killua was in the bathtub relaxing and his face was looking a bit worried but he doesn't know why he was. He didn't want to take a bath for long, so he went out with his clothes changed already. This night's not actually late so maybe Killua will still have time to go outside, after brushing his hair he walked to the door and spoke to Kurapika.
"Ne Kurapika, I'm going outside."
"Hontou?" Kurapika placed his book on his chest.
"Yeah, if you want, you could come." Killua smiled nervously.
Kurapika didn't want to be alone in here, he didn't finished reading his book yet, but still he decided to go with Killua.
"Can I?" Kurapika asked.
"Mochiron, I'm not really forcing you to go with me anyway."
"No it's okay, I want to go with you."
Killua nodded then both of them walked outside together. Killua was planning to take Gon with him so he went to Gon's room and knocked the door.
"Oi, Gon!" Killua slammed the door. "Open this door you idiots!" He noticed that no one had opened the door, he wondered what's going on inside, probably Gon was too scared to make actions because Hisoka was right there inside. "Well, I guess it'll be just both of us." Killua felt his heart beating so fast that it really hurts. He held his chest and panted and with that kind of gesture, it made Kurapika worry.
"Ki...Killua, daijoubou?" Kurapika asked.
"A- Ah, daijoubou..." Killua smiled.
Both of them were together outside, watching the sky that had least of stars because it got covered by the clouds and the moon was shining brightly, the two of them were staring at it. Killua's not used doing this with Kurapika, for him it's somehow awkward that it's impossible for him to speak right now because if he's with Gon, both of them are starting to talk something right now; it's been silent since they were here.
"Killua, I've been thinking..." Kurapika bowed down his head as he spoke.
"Mm?" Killua turned to Kurapika.
"Have you liked someone?" Kurapika looked away from him because he was blushing and didn't want Killua to know about it.
That question was difficult to answer. Killua couldn't answer it because he doesn't really know what or how to answer Kurapika's question. He knew that what Kurapika asked wasn't just like as a friend, it's actually as someone he really likes. His heart's telling him that Kurapika was the person he really liked, but how could he even answer that?
"I...I did..." Killua looked down. 'What am I saying?' He thought. "I know it's weird but, I've been liking a guy, I really like him a lot he's...I don't know if I could explain it clearly but I really like him." Killua smiled as he explained it to Kurapika.
Kurapika was wondering who that person could be. For him it's not weird to like guy, because he also liked one. He was there on his side, he didn't know what kind of things he liked about him but really, he like him so much. He's been thinking, Killua had described about the person he likes but Kurapika's not sure who was it, probably it was Gon, so he decided to tell it to him already.
"I liked someone too. He's not really at my age and I don't know how I liked him...he's right here beside me all the time even though we do not really get close with each other," Kurapika was staring away from Killua, he's too embarrassed to look at him because what he described is about Killua. He's definitely right, Killua doesn't usually talk a lot or get close with him but he's been right there by his side, close enough.
Killua's eyes widened from what he heard. Kurapika was referring to him, he's sure of it because he noticed it too. So, they've liked each other the whole time.
"Kurapika, I like you." Killua blushed.
Kuapika moved his hands then dragged Killua closer to him and hugged him. Killua hugged him back with a smile on his face then Kurapika whispered something to him.
"Daisuki yo...Killua..."
Killua released Kurapika then kissed his lips. Kurapika was shocked from a sudden kiss by Killua but he closed his eyes and kissed him back. Killua wrapped his arms around Kurapika, dragging him closer and tightening his arms around him. Both of them broke it after a while with their face blushing quite now, they're supposed to real ease each other but Killua didn't want Kurapika to separate on his side.
"Kurapika, don't go..." Killua bowed down with his face blushing so red.
"I won't..." Kurapika said with a smile.
They've been outside for a while now, it's getting late but not like it's almost midnight, it's just the time for them to sleep. Kurapika noticed that Killua was snoring cutely and sleeping on his side. Kurapika chuckled quietly then carried him on his back for them to go back to their room and sleep already.
He noticed that some were still awake because of the lights switched on but he continued walking until he reached their room. He slowly putted Killua on the bed and he looked so cute when he sleeps. Kurapika went to his bed and stared at Killua for a while then he lied down and he slept. Their beds are separated yet close with each other with just 1 centimeter gap. Kurapika wanted to be with Killua yet he's not comfortable without someone on his side for now. He transferred on Killua's bed silently then hugged him and started to sleep.
Killua realized that Kurapika was hugging him so he moved his arm and also hugged Kurapika tightly because he didn't want to release him, he wanted it to stay like this.
Okay, finished! I feel happy because I managed to finish this story. It is based on the Hunter x Hunter 1999 but while I was writing this, I'm imagining that the quality is 2011 version. It's been months since I never wrote a story, oh well I found a way to write a story by using my tablet. My computer was broken so...I don't know...
