I know I've posted (too) many fanfics lately but I really want to make such story which doesn't filled with fluff only this time. Eeh..I have to deal with my English nevertheless tehe
There was alluka here but for I haven't read the manga when she appeared (I don't like spoiler) so thinking further I can't use the story with this character. Kalluto's too beautiful to be referred as a boy therefore I mistook him and write him as a "girl" in my sleepiness
Sorry for the late correction
Chapter 1 : Separation
Another tough day passed by and it was late at night that time. Laying on his bed beside Gon, Killua stared to the ceiling above them, his mind wandered. Maybe it'd be their last day in Greed Island game, since they had collected almost all of the card slots. They just needed the last card, the #0, 'Ruler's blessing' to complete their binder and went back to the real world.
Killua sighed. It was hard yet they could make it together. However, he couldn't feel at ease right now. He took a slight look at Gon's hand and it made him felt desperate. That hand was once awfully severed because of his fight with the bomber boss. Though it had been healed by the miraculous card , Breath of Archangel (could heal every pain and disease), it still left a concern in Killua's mind. He really considered himself weak to not be able to protect Gon, though he knew he had just finished fighting by that time. He blamed all to himself, saying it was his fault and made him stressed. Then he came to a conclusion.
'I don't deserve to be Gon's friend after all, if this keep happening then I'll be a burden to himself, so..
I better stay away from him'
He knew that decision was unreasonable and he himself couldn't accept it. Yet he thought it was the best choice after all. He was contemplating and finally he made his decision.
"Gon" he spoke in a very low voice.
"What is it Killua?" The black haired boy beside him turned to face him.
"If I go..to somewhere faraway.. what'll you do?" Killua looked down, couldn't meet Gon's eyes.
'Eh? What have I asked? It's not my business after all, it's his own life matter' he murmured in the mind.
"Why Killua?" Gon looked so startled as he asked in serious tone "Are you going to go somewhere far for a certain something? Then I'll go with you!"
Killua stared at his friend, his blue eyes showed uncertainty.
"You can't" he said as he threw his sight "beside, you must meet your father, it's your goal, right? And I won't let you tailing me. We have our own life after all" he turned slowly to Gon and smiled wryly "This may be our last time together"
"I can't accept that Killu.." Gon stopped as a hand shoved his back of the head closer to the boy before him. Killua's lips stuck to his, stayed there for a long time, making Gon's brown eyes widened.
Killua released him eventually and said calmly to Gon " it's the end. Don't cry over me, baka, you'll make me uneasy" he stroked slowly the black hair before him. "You must take a rest, you haven't healed completely, right?". Feeling so tired, Gon was unable to keep his eyelids from closing slightly, until Killua's figure faded away and he fell to the total darkness.

Early in the morning, Killua woke up first and turned to Gon. His friend hadn't wake up yet, he must be so tired yesterday. Got off the bed slowly and stepped thoroughly, attempting not to make any sound (it was easy to him for he was used to this) Killua walked to the table near the window and took a piece of paper and a ballpoint. After writing some message, he put his ballpoint, packed quietly his stuffs to his bag and walked to the door. He saw Gon who was still sleeping calmly as his hand turned the door knob and left.

Finding no one beside him, Gon woke up entirely from his sleep and found himself in panic. He didn't expect Killua to be serious last night, couldn't be. Searching for trace of Killua's existence everywhere he found nothing, which made him so worried. Gon headed to the window, intending to look through it when he saw a piece of paper put on the table. He took it and quickly realized it was Killua's handwriting. Eyes widened as he hurriedly read it.
Bisky came into their room to remind them that they were going to be late for the quiz (to get the #0 card) when Gon was reading the letter from Killua. He was so shocked and didn't reply when Bisky called him. Seeing Gon in a strange condition, the blond walked towards his pupil and noticed something from his face. Bisky came closer to take a look at the letter and read it too.
'Gon, and old hag.. I mean Bisky
I would have gone as you read this letter. Maybe I'll wander around seeing this world, to find such a goal or reason in my life. Sorry if it's too sudden. Gon, it doesn't mean I don't want to go with you and Bisky too, don't feel guilty because you've hit me many times and trained us so hard. It meant a lot.
Gon, you're my best friend ever. I don't feel like finding a better friend than you even until my death. Promise me you'll never forget me. Me too of course. Put this in your mind. Continue to look for your father, no matter how hard it is. Don't go after me, it'll waste your time. I'm glad if we can meet each other soon with our goals accomplished. That's if we can meet each other again for I think it'll be hard.
Killua'
Bisky was about to get mad (not because Killua called her old hag until the last time but because this pupil of her disappeared in sudden) when she looked Gon was trembling. His hands shook, dropping the letter on the table.
"Bis..ky.." Gon said without looking to his master, eyes still looking to the letter before him "what should… I do…. Without Killua.."
The girl felt sorry for him but she replied soon "Like he's written. What you're going to do now is focus to find your father. For now we have to go to answer the quiz immediately. Then you can meet your father when your binder's full. Are you agree?"
Gon hung his head low and remained silence for a while before he said "Yes"

Walking on his way home since he found nowhere to go, Killua wondering what Gon and Bisky were doing that time. They had quiz to get the last card didn't they? They 'd probably off to the location, and because he'd told Gon not to catch him so Gon wouldn't do it right?
He unintentionally recalled moments they'd gone through together. Happiness yet troubles they shared together. Especially when Gon said to him while they were sitting near the bonfire they made in Whale Island
"I think it's fun to be with you. Are you having fun when we're together?"
That time he startled and didn't believe in what he heard. He simply replied "Yeah.. I think.."
"Then, let's stick together!" Gon asked him to always be there by him and see the whole world together..
Sigh..
He arrived eventually in front of his house on top of Kukuroo mountain after getting there using public transportation (surprisingly, there wasn't anyone who aware of him, since no one ever seen the faces of Zoldyck family). Before the testament gate to be exact. Zebro, the old gate guardian looked so surprise when he saw him and rushed to get him. "Young master, welcome back. Never thought you'll come here after a long time"
Killua nodded at him "Uh hi Zebro. Yeah long time no see"
"Not feeling well? You look a little tired."he studied his young master and said with worry
'Tired?' Killua thought.' It's not.. like that, since I haven't done anything such as fighting until I get here'
"Could you pulled the testament gate or should I.."
"It's fine, I'm okay" he shook that thought and walked to the testament gate, placing his hands on that enormous door and pulled it. Strangely, this time only the first door opened, contradicted that he was able to open the third gate the last time he got here.
"Huh?" Killua wondered while looking at his hands
'Young master must be so tired because of his journey all the way here. However, I'm still in doubt seeing he could only open the first gate' Zebro wondered but he said something quickly to make his master calm down "It's okay, young master. You're just tired, that's all. Now just hurry head to the mansion for this gate'll close soon and rest as much as you can. Hope you're not getting sick" he waved his hand and smiled in tolerance. Once again Killua nodded to him and walked away as the gate slowly closed behind him.

"The quiz will now begin" the voice from the loud speaker was resounding through the entire town. All of the players in Greed Island were now sitting before their own binders, ready to answer the upcoming quiz, so were Gon and Bisky.
"Question number one.." the question had been read.
"Hey Killua, what do you think the answer.." Gon turned and realized Killua was no longer beside him as always
"…" he fell silent when Bisky slapped his back hard "Focus Gon! You have to focus!" then she said in a lower voice "he wasn't here anymore so just don't think about him for a while, okay?"
Gon gave Bisky a wry smile "Yes. Thanks Bisky"
"No problem. Now hurry up or you'll miss the question. Come on you know the answer right? You've gone through many trouble to get this card remember?"
"Yeah.. the answer is" the black haired boy directing his attention to his binder and tapped the correct answer.

"Young master, you're back!" a girl welcomed and greeted Killua
"Canary, it's been a long time" the white haired boy smile a bit to the figure before him and threw a little conversation "How're you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, just like old days young master." She replied "Uuh anyway sorry if I'm being rude but, where's your friend Gon?" the butler asked carefully.
"Many things happened and make me have to separate myself from him" Killua forced a smile "yeah.. suppose like that..now I'll heading to the mansion, if you excuse me Canary"
"Ah uh, as you please, young master" she stepped back and let Killua walked passed her
The Zoldyck looked up to his mansion from afar. It looked so faaar away compared to the last time, making him wondered why was it felt like he'd make it to reach his mansion for a day today while last time he didn't think of something like this. Maybe Zebro was right that he's ill? Nah, couldn't be.

Standing in front of the castle he'd been called to go to, Gon turned doubtfully to Bisky. Knowing what was in the boy's mind, Bisky smiled and said "Don't worry. You'll have an opportunity to meet your father after all, don't you get excited?"
Gon scratched softly his cheek "Yeah, I do.. but I still.. hesitate"
"What're you hesitating for?" impatient by seeing the attitude of his pupil, Bisky shoved him to the entrance door "now hurry up and deal with it!"
The black haired boy then entered the castle.
He was welcomed by his father's friends, List and Dwun (dunno how long they were there), explaining things about the Greed Island, a little about his father, and what he got after finishing the game. Then Dwun gave him a box of 3 card slots, to use cards in real life and asked Gon to choose 3 cards. After choosing and picked the cards he needed, he thanked them and got out of the castle. Gon with Bisky then went and met Elena, one of Ging's friend who helped them to get out of the game.
"Are you sure these are the three cards you want?" she confirmed
"Yes"
"Then I'll now return your ring. Good work" Elena gave his ring back. After thanking the girl and bidding a farewell, Gon was now in the real world with Bisky.

A butler opened the door for Killua as he walked in. The mansion was still the same, looking so glorious yet dark, just as the last time he came back there, so was the butler standing before him, Gotoh.
"Good afternoon, young master. It's been a long time. Please come in" he bowed politely.
"Thank you Gotoh. Yeah, you are still competent as always" replied Killua
"I take that as a compliment young master. Thank you very much, I'm so pleased" he smiled and bowed again " May I take your bag?"
"Oh thanks" bag was taken off and gave to the man " Now I'm going to.."
"Kil" an astonished voice came just few meters before the boy. Killua stared to the figure that slowly appeared in front of him and found it was his mother, Kikyo Zoldyck.
"Kil.. ahh my little child has come back!" she said proudly and lifted his long gown a bit in an elegant manner, attempted to not running to approach Killua. She couldn't help herself to not being too protective towards her favorite son after all.
The woman asked him in concern "I'm so glad you've come back. You're fine aren't you?"
"Yeah, totally fine mom" he replied, thinking about his mansion which was just too big yet so silence even a lot of people lived there before he realize something different from usual "Eh, I don't see Kalluto.. usually he always following you (referred to his mom), right?"
"Aah unfortunately Kalluto was joining an organization so I'm afraid he won't be able to meet you for a long time."
'Hee, so unlikely of him', Killua thought. He always thought Kalluto was a "home girl or shrine maiden" (though he was a boy) who liked to stayed at home but apparently it wasn't like that.
"Is the organization related to our family?"
"Seems it's not likely Kil. We don't know either since he mentioned nothing to us" Kikyo replied
"Hmm is that so.."
Killua's mind kept wandering about the same thing instead of wondering about Kalluto. He felt that this mansion was never as quiet as this but thinking again, it was the same as ever. Was it because of he himself who felt a bit... lonely?
'I'm just an ex-assassin with no goal clinging on Gon after all. Maybe I can be a little help for him and give some advice. But I'll really be a burden to him when it comes to things I can't handle, like Illumi aniki, I guess' he mumbled in his heart , staring at the wide window beside him. The weather was so fine outside.
'Maybe it's the best for us after all…but why.. I feel my heart so heavy…."
-To be continued-
Wow it's the first time I write "to be continued" #smacked. Yeah, do you think Killua will meet Gon or..? Not telling you #giggle
I switch the side of Gon and Killua too many times but in the next chapter the pace'll be slower. The conflict'll begin then
See you on the next chapter. I don't know when I'll write it but I'll finish it before my holiday ends. Aaah noo
I erased the "Alluka" part I wrote earlier ukh so sorry but I can't force the story though. His past and Killua's was too complicated and if I insist to use him, Killua'll having a hard time choosing between Gon and Him right? This story is about Gon and Killua though
I'll be more serious next time ukh
Feel free to drop review :3
