Chapter 1- Hurtful Past
Killua Zaoldyeck was currently filling up some paperwork about the pickpocket case he encounters just now.
Killua worked as a police officer who sometimes helps in citizen's problem or in some kind of big case. Either way, he is truly active and passionate about his job.
Moments later, his cellphone began to ring. He looks at the caller id and smiled when he sees that his girlfriend, Gon Freecs is calling him.
He presses the call button and said "Hello?"
"Hey Killua" Gon said enthusiastically on the other line, seems truly happy.
"It's unusual for you to call me this early so, what happen?" Killua ask, a bit curious.
"Another of my novel is truly a success! Even the editor wants me to write the sequel!" Gon exclaims, truly excited.
Killua smiled "Really? That's great, Gon!"
"Yup! Putting you as a character in my novel is definitely quite an idea!" Gon said.
Gon Freecs is a novelist who is not so successful back then. However after meeting KIllua and making him as the character in some story from his idea combined with hers and his case for her novel, the novel has truly become successful that made Gon quite famous now.
"Heeh, that's really good. I might buy another one of your novel and ask for your signature" Killua chuckle but he truly means it.
"Sure, why not! Although there might be a chance that I would reveal you as my main inspiration in an interview" Gon giggles a bit when she answers.
Killua glanced at the clock for a moment. "Ops, look at the time. It is almost the time for lunch break"
"Oh. Are you free right now?" Gon asked.
"Yeah for lunch only, after that I need to go back on this paperwork about the pickpocket case I encounter earlier" Killua said and sigh a bit.
"Lemme guess, you are the one who caught the pickpocket right?" Gon said while smiling.
Killua laughs a bit before answer "Yeah true. Anyway, want to meet up for lunch?"
"Sure, how about our usual café?" Gon asked.
"Sounds good to me, meet you there, alright?" Killua said.
"Alright! See you there!" Gon said before hanging up.
Killua put his phone to his pocket and leave to changehis uniform back for he didn't want to eat with Gon while still wearing his work uniform. After changing, he meets some of the acquaintances who are going for lunch.
"Oi Killua? Are you going somewhere for lunch?" One of the police officer asked.
"Yeah, lunch date with my girlfriend." Killua smirks causing some single guys groan at his girlfriend bragging.
"Oh yeah, you are meeting with your girlfriend right? Can you ask her to sign here?" Other police officer ask and at the same time, giving Gon's novel as a place to sign.
"Fine. See you guys after lunch break" Killua leaves with the novel with his hand.
The café is not really far away, when KIllua arrives. He smiled when he sees Gon is there already and giving out some signatures.
"Hey, got a room for another one?" Killua said and hands out the novel causing Gon to chuckle.
"Of course!" Gon smiled and sign the novel while Killua goes to sit across Gon.
"Alright, here you go" Gon handed out the novel, earning grateful look from Killua.
"Thanks, I'll give this to him later" Killua said.
"Him? A police officer who is a friend of yours?" Gon asked.
"Something like that, you are getting more famous now." Killua said and smile.
"Thanks" Gon beamed, truly happy.
The two of them order their food and while waiting for their food to arrive, Gon began to ask Killua bunch of questions about the pickpocket case he mention earlier. Killua tells her and Gon began to write the information for the new ideas for her new novel.
"You know Killua" Gon sigh before continuing "the sequel novel that I have to write might be very difficult"
Killua raise his eyebrow "Huh? What do you mean with that?"
Gon sigh again. "It's just that…. The fans and my editor wants my novel sequel is a very big case that is truly sensational. Something likes that"
Killua nodded in understanding "I see, it's no wonder since the novel you wrote before is quite a case and they wanted the sequel is much more"
Gon looked down. "Yeah, true. You know a case like that?" Gon looked at Killua, hoping a yes.
Killua sighs "Unfortunately, no".
That short answer made Gon give another sigh.
"Well, what do you expect? Some of the cases that are truly big like you mention is not even allowed to be leaked to public. Obliviously even someone who wrote novel about it is not allowed." Killua said, although deep down a bit sorry that he couldn't help her girlfriend.
Finally their food has arrived, the two eat their food in silence, not knowing what to say. After finishing the food, Killua pays for it (even though Gon keep saying that she could pay her own food but Killua hear none of it) then both of them walked out of the café.
"Ne Killua, is your lunch break over already?" Gon asked, a bit sudden.
Killua look at his watch "Nope, there's still more time"
Gon look at the park that is quite nearby.
"How about we take a walk at the park for a while?" Gon suggested.
"Sure" Killua said and hold Gon's hand while the other with the novel then they go to the park together.
At the park, the atmosphere sure is really nice. Birds are chirping and there are some trees in bloom. Not many people are there but right now the two of them are strolling at leisurely pace, enjoying the view.
"It truly is not bad relaxing once in a while" Gon said making Killua agree about it.
"Yeah" Killua answered, looking at the sky and thought `it is a nice day out`.
Gon stopped suddenly causing Killua to stop as well and look at his girlfriend who is having a bitter smile right now.
"Gon?" Killua called out her name and squeeze her hand, wanting to know why she is suddenly look so sad.
"You know, Killua" Gon looked at Killua's eye before tore her gaze downwards. "When they want to know about a big case, the only thing that I can remember is when we first met.
Killua eyes had widened before hugging Gon who is crying right now. He knows that she is still hurt from that incident.
-Flashback-
It was raining at night. At the alley, a young woman was surrounded by 4 thugs who cornered her into a dead end.
"Please! Let me go!" The woman who was Gon, cries and begging at those two thugs who is holding her and the other two rummages her bag, looking for money.
"What! She only have this much!?" The leader said, completely dissatisfied and thrust a knife near Gon's neck. "Where is the rest!"
"Gon sniffles before answering "Th-That's all I have. I don't have a lot of money!"
"Tch, useless but then again, we could have fun with you in exchange" The leader smirks followed by the rest of the thugs making Gon's eyes went wide in horror.
"N-NO! W- What do you want from me!?" Gon tries to struggle but the grip from the thugs is too strong, to the point both of her arms were bruised already.
"Hehe, what do we want? This!" The leader use the knife to cut her clothes and skirt even her bra and underwear , revealing her naked figure.
"PLEASE! STOP!" Gon shouted, hoping that someone would hear her and help her.
"Oi, not bad." The leader smirks including the rest. Immediately while still holding her, the thugs grab her breast harshly causing Gon to scream for help.
"HELP! PLEASE!" Gon is crying right now, all she can do was shout for help.
"SHUT UP! No one can hear you and no one will help you. Be still or I will kill you!" The leader threatens with the knife causing Gon to tremble in fear.
"P-please, stop this" Gon cries again while the others watch in amusement.
"Oi, let her go. I will handle her" The thugs let go and before Gon could escape, the leader pinned her on the wall. No matter how much she struggle, she can't break free.
"Boss, let us have a turn with her as well" Hearing that makes Gon tremble more from the cold of the rain and her fear.
"Yeah but first it is my turn. After I finish, I'll let you guys do whatever you want with her" Gon tries to break free again but failed. All of a sudden she felt something at her entrance, her eyes widen `it can't be` she thought horridly.
"AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!" Gon scream when she was penetrated suddenly and her virginity was taken. She felt the pain is too much and she has gone numb now from the cold because of the rain but tried to stand, despite the pain and the numb situation.
"Oh, you sure are really tight, nice!" The leader licks his lips while the other watch in amusement.
`It's all over` Gon cries silently and biting her lip. She thought that she will be killed later by them. She had lost her virginity, she felt like she had lost everything.
"HEY! WHO'S THERE!" a voice called out suddenly.
The leader and the thugs look at Killua who is in his uniform and carrying a flashlight. One look at the scene, Killua figures everything that has happened.
"Damn, a police? But at least he is alone. Oi you guys, take care of him!" The leader said, still inside of Gon.
"Roger!" The thugs said in chorus.
The three of them charges with a knife, Killua drop his flashlight and fight. He dodged a blow and goes to counterattack. Before the others could land a blow, Killua hit them and kick them until the thugs become unconscious. He glares at the leader who is bringing out his knife.
"He- Hey! One wrong move and I will cut her neck" The leader threatens with a squeaky voice, obviously scared.
Before the leader could point the knife at Gon's neck, Killua takes his gun faster and shoot right on the knife causing the knife to thrown back and the leader got scared.
"P- Please… don't shoot me! I don't want to die!" The leader cries immediately at the sight of Killua getting closer with a gun.
"Pull out of her, now and slowly!" Killua said in a low and threatening voice causing the leader immediately do so making Gon whimper in pain but still manages to try to stand up wobbly.
"Th-There! I did it already! Spare my life!" The leader's eyes widen when Killua point his gun and shoot 1 inch away from his face's right side causing the leader got shocked and unconscious.
Killua tuck his gun back to his gun holster then approaching Gon who is looking really and truly scared right now. He takes off his coat and uses it to cover Gon.
"Hey, I'll take you to the patrol car right now. C'mon" Killua grab Gon's hand gently and lead her inside the patrol car before taking the flashlight and some of Gon's possession back such as her torn clothes and her bag with the others. Once they are inside, Killua takes out a blanket and give it to Gon who accepts it immediately.
"So umm, where is your place? I'll take you home and I call the rest of the other police to-"
"NO!"
Killua jumped a bit, looking at Gon who is crying again and trembling.
"Well, if you want me not to tell anyone about this, it's alright. I won't tell. What do you want?" Killua asked.
"I- I want to go home" Gon mumbled in a small voice but Killua can still hear it.
Killua nodded. "Alright, lead the direction of where it is."
After few minutes of driving, Killua finally arrives at Gon's place. He takes out the umbrella and guides her inside.
"All right, you should be careful now" KIllua said and leave but he couldn't because Gon is hugging him from behind.
"P-Please… d- don't leave me… I'm scared." Gon cries again causing KIllua to didn't have a heart on leaving her.
Killua goes to face Gon "D-Don't you have anyone who can accompany you?"
Gon shake her head, she is still gripping his shirt tightly, not wanting him to leave.
Killua thinks for a moment "Alright but let me tell the others that I'm leaving early so they won't get suspicious" Killua goes leave again and Gon is still gripping on his shirt.
"He-hey. I'm only going to use the communication radio inside the car. I promise I won't leave" Killua tried to persuade Gon but Gon is still stubbornly clinging with Killua causing Killua to take her while making the call and finish the call then goes back inside of her place.
"There. You should be taking a warm bath right now or you might catch a cold later" Killua looks at Gon who is still trembling.
"You will still be here, right?" Gon looks hopefully at Killua.
Killua sigh and pats Gon's head. "I promise I will still be here. I won't leave, just quickly takes a bath now and get dressed"
Gon nodded. "Alright" Looking at Killua before leaving for a bath.
A while later after finishing the bath and fully dressed, she breathe a sigh of relief when Killua is still there, sitting and reading her rejected mystery novel that she type.
"Ahh that's-!" She rushed over and snatches it causing Killua to be surprised.
"Wha- why? What's wrong?" Killua is confused as he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Gon look at her rejected novel sadly before looking back at Killua. "It's the novel that I made but got rejected"
"Oh? You made it? It is good but I have to admit, the impact wasn't too strong" Killua said.
"Really? It seems the editor says that too. You know about mystery novel?" Gon asked.
"Well, I am a police" Killua said causing Gon's mouth formed `o`.
"That's true. Do you know some things that I should change?" Gon asked.
"Well… for what I have read, it is quite weak. The protagonist personality and there is too much detail that is not needed" Killua started to explains.
"Hmm-hmm" Gon started to nod and writing it on a notepad out of thin air , completely agree about it.
A while later, Gon completely understand what she needs to research more and what she needs to change.
"Uwahh! I felt like I can make a good novel this time, thanks Mr Police" Gon exclaims happily.
Killua's eyebrow's twitched then he coughed a bit "I have a name you know, names Killua Zaoldyeck"
Gon blushed. "Opps, well we haven't introduced ourselves. Sorry and my name is Gon Freecs"
Killua smiled "I'll remember that, if your novel is published, I'll buy it and ask for your signature"
Gon smiled as well "Thanks, Killua!"
-End Flashbacks-
Right now, Gon had stopped crying. Thanks to Killua who managed to calm her and cheer her up. Then Killua look at the watch and gone pale.
"Eh? Wha-What's wrong Killua?" Gon asked, still sobbing.
"Oh Shit! The lunch break has finished a long time ago!" Killua cursed and Gon's eyes widened slightly.
"I- I'm sorry Killua" Gon immediately apologized to her boyfriend for being the cause of him to be late.
"N-no Gon. It's not your fault. Anyway, I'll take you so you could rest. You must be tired." Killua said.
"U-um" Gon nodded.
The reason why Killua accompanied Gon most of the time is because of that incident is still lingering in her mind to the point she is scared on going alone to the place that is quite far away so Killua usually escort her when she wants to go somewhere that is quite far. Anyway, when Killua finally back and changed into his uniform-
"Oi, KIllua! How could you be late? Lunch break has ended an hour ago!" the inspector yelled.
"Sorry" Killua mumbled.
"Wow, that's a karma for being a braggart about your girlfriend" One of the officer said.
"I won't give this signature novel back to you!" Killua threaten the novel owner causing him to yelp a bit.
"Sorry" the officer said.
"Anyway KIllua, your punishment will be working until late night since there is a lot to do, alright!?" the inspector said.
"Yes, sir" Killua said.
Killua had texted Gon that he would be back at his place, really late at night and keep typing that it is better she is not thinking too much about her novel and take a break. Then, he goes back to work immediately.
"Hey! Make sure you print all of these files!"
"Roger!"
"Oi, where is the file on the case that the inspector is still working on?"
"Here!"
"Where's the rest of the paperwork!?"
"In the cabinet, I'll get it in a moment!"
Killua runs back and forth answering all the calls. True to the inspector words, there really is a lot to do causing Killua to get exhausted and thankful that it is finally over.
"Ahh, maybe next time I shouldn't have arrived late. Well, no use crying over spilt milk. I'll better text Gon back to make sure that she is asleep by now."
Killua has finally arrived at his house. However, he was surprised to see a figure of a young woman collapsed in front of his house.
"What the- "
Immediately Killua runs faster to the collapsed young woman figure and check the pulse.
"Fyuh, good, she is still alive. OI! Are you alright?"
The moment Killua take a closer look at the young woman, his eyes suddenly widen his shock and his breathing become quicken. He sweats a bit.
"Wait… No way. GON!?"
