Chapter One: Sometime Around Midnight

Growing tired of trying to kill him in secrecy, I walked up behind the white-maned boy. He was buying a robot shaped treat from a vending machine. I let out a small yawn and tapped his shoulder. The boy whipped around, his hand stuffed inside the treat box, a quizzical look on his pale face.

"Can I kill you?" I deadpanned, giving him a serious look. The boy pulled a chocolate covered candy out of the box with two fingers and popped it into his mouth.

"What?" He looked up and down at my black shirt with a white collar and sleeves outlining, my white shorts, and all black sneakers. A smirk crossed his face, and his sapphire orbs looked into my hazel ones. He swallowed his candy. "Ohh, I get it. You're the one who's been trying to kill me all these months."

"You got it," I responded, interlocking both my hands above my head to stretch. Growing bored, I asked again. "Can I kill you or not?"

"I dunno, can you?" He snidely responded, his cat eyes still pouring into mine.

I rolled my eyes, giving a sarcastic laugh. "So, I can't, then? I need an answer like ASAP 'cause I gotta be somewhere," I lifted my right arm up to check my invisible watch, and looked back up at him. "Soon."

The white haired boy let out a laugh, "Where do you have to be that's so important that you leave your target?"

"I have a date with my fridge. It's very important, can't miss it." I yawned, scratching my forearm. I palmed the front of my pocket, to make sure my needles were still there, but they weren't. Furrowing my eyebrows together, I felt my other pockets, and the only thing there was my phone and wallet. I looked up and he was gone. I looked around the mall, and the white-maned boy was nowhere in sight. I eventually looked down and there was a message engraved in the linoleum, my needles in a neat pile next to it.

I'll meet you on the rooftop tonight at 11. Make sure you try harder to kill me. -K

After I read it, the linoleum glowed black and poured into the letters, making the words disappear, and it was gone. I bent over and picked up my needles, slipping them back into my front pocket. I let out a sigh, turning back around and making my way to my apartment.

"This is gonna be harder and more time consuming than I had hoped." I huffed out, wanting nothing more than for my job with him to be over.

XXXX

I opened the door to the mall rooftop, a cold breeze smacking my face. I blinked a couple times, pulling out my needles and placing them between my fingers on my right hand. I turned the corner, seeing the boy leaning over the railing, his legs crossed over each other. I took this as my opportunity to try and assassinate him. I silently jumped on top of the box that surrounded the door and tiptoed over to the edge of it. I crouched down, looking at the boy, who remained unmoving. I looked down to my hand, and adjusted the needles, so the pointy side was sticking out instead of the side with the holes to put the thread through.

"Trying to kill me, are we?" A smooth voice whispered into my ear. I flipped around, throwing my needles out of reflex. The boy caught them with no struggle, smirking in the process. "You're so cute when you're surprised,"

My face flushed pink, so I tried rubbing my cheeks so it would go away. "Gimme back my needles!" I yelled, standing up to try and get them back. He held them above his head and I had to jump to grab them. I was 5'5", but being around him made me feel short. He stood at about 6'2", and when he held things above his head, it was almost 7 feet above the ground.

"You'll have to take them from me if you want them," He said snidely, looking down at me. I let out a breath, crossing my arms.

"Really, Killua? Really?"

"So you do know my name." He responds, his eyes getting narrower as he stares me down. "Nevertheless, you'll have to take these needles from me, Niumi."

"How'd you figure out my name?" I question, bending my right leg slightly, putting all my weight on it.

"You work at a sweets store near your apartment. You work a closing shift two times a week and work a seven to three the other five days." Killua smirked, running his free hand through his pearly white hair. My whole body screamed "STALKER. ABORT MISSION AND RUN AWAY IMMEDIATELY," but I stood still, watching the boy smirk in victory. I cracked my neck and shook out my arms.

If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get. I bent forwards, kicking my legs up into a handstand. I focused all my aura into my hands and launched myself off the ground, ending up behind him. I crouched down and outstretched my right leg, swinging it across the ground to try and 'sweep the leg.' Before I had the chance, Killua grabbed my ankle at lightning fast speed and lifted me off the ground.

"How's it hanging?" Killua joked, swinging me around slightly. I cracked my neck, trying to get over the sensation of all the blood rushing to my head.

"Please, put me down. I can feel my head pulsing." I said, crossing my arms and closing my eyes.

"That wouldn't be any fun, though!" Killua said, giggling like a child. I let out a big breath through my nose as he swung me around more. I hung unmoving, trying to conjure up a plan.

I snapped my eyes open once I came up with a plan. I looked up and stuck my tongue out at Killua as I violently twisted my ankle all the way around, dislocating it. As a look of disbelief struck his face, I slipped out of his grip and onto the ground. I shuddered as I sat right side up and pushed my foot back into the socket. A loud cracking noise echoed in my head as my foot went into its socket. I shakily looked up at Killua, trying to ignore the shooting pain in my right leg.

"That takes a lot of pain tolerance to do. You're tougher than you look," Killua stated, looking up and down at my shaking body. He then threw my needles in front of me, yawning loudly. "This got boring fast, I'm gonna bounce."

"What?" I managed to say, my voice quiet. He turned around and begun walking away, raising his left hand.

"Don't worry, Sunshine, you'll see me real soon, promise." And with that, he opened the door and left. I gritted my teeth, closing my eyes angrily.

"God damn you, Killua Zoldyck!" I screamed through gritted teeth. My shouts soon turned into cries as I clutched my foot, writhing in pain. "This was such a shitty idea."
