BLOODS AND KISSESChapter 1- A what kind of hunter?
It was a hot summer day in a city called Aurigae and a certain silver haired boy mumbled curses as sweat trickled down his pale face. "Damn it, Gon! Couldn't we just had stayed in the hotel where there's an aircon!" he shouted at his dark haired friend, who was a little ahead of him.
"We need to find a job since a certain someone almost consumed our money buying chocolates in the last city we stayed in." Gon gave Killua an 'it-was-your-fault-so-stop-complaining' look.
"Whatever…" Killua sulked. It has been almost a year since their Greed Island experience. Killua also retook the hunter exams and passed. Now, they were only focusing on finding the whereabouts of Gon's father.
Gon suddenly halted. "Hey, Killua, I've found a job just perfect for us!" Gon beamed, pointing to a building with a 'WANTED: HUNTERS (apply inside)' sign hanging on the door. "Come on!" he excitedly said, dragging the still heat stricken Killua.
Now inside, Killua could feel the temperature rise up, as the building was jam packed with applicants plus the mixed smells of bodily odors made him gag. He tapped on Gon's shoulder. "I'm gonna die…"
"Well, die later, were almost up… it's already 54 so another 73 to go and it's our turn!" Gon's optimism was starting to get on Killua's nerves but he was just too tired to do anything about it.
"If you weren't my friend, I would have murdered you by now…" Killua threatened but his lack of energy made it lose its venom.
Gon hummed a tune, drowning into the sea of people talking, shouting and other sounds that drilled into Killua's skull, giving him a major migraine. He sunk deeper into oblivion as the mixture of heat; smells, sound and boredom were slowly killing him.
"A what kind of hunter?" Gon's surprised voice knocked him out to consciousness. "What do you mean? Are you saying they're real?" laughter was heard as the other applicants found Gon's question funny.
"Eh, Gon, what's happening?" Killua asked, fully awake now.
"Killua, vampires aren't real, right?" Gon asked, hoping that Killua would be on his side. "They said they're in need of 'vampire' hunters." Gon air quoted the word vampire.
Killua blinked a little, trying to make Gon's words sink in. "Huh?… Vampires?…" Gon nodded. "I don't know…" Gon frowned, giving Killua a disapproving look. "What? I really don't know…" he tried to explain.
An applicant, a rather muscular man laughed. "Kids, let me explain this to you slowly so that even your age could understand. Here in Aurigae, there's this vampire family whose been drinking off from the people in the city and it's up to us to kill them!"
Killua obviously didn't like the 'kid' comment but the word 'kill' was enough to make him forget that. "So all we have to do is kill them and we get paid?" Killua questioned and the others just nodded. "Then we'll do it!"
"Killua?" Gon didn't like it when Killua let his assassin side control him but the vampire business opened his curiosity. He wanted to know if they're real.
The man behind the desk, their would-be employer, laughed. "You kids have guts, I'll give you that!" then he laughed again together with the others.
"Kids?" Killua hated to be called a kid. He slammed his Hunter Card on the desk. "We're not kids!" he said, in a tone that was to be considered murderous. Everyone became silent.
"Ki… Killua? Come on, don't kill them…" Gon tried to calm Killua when he saw the assassin's claws growing. "… Who's gonna pay us, if you do?"
The man behind the desk stared into Killua's eyes and saw his death slowly formulating. "You… you're hired…" he quivered.
