The Hunter's Assassin ~ A HunterXHunter Fanfiction
By Vanillamon
Hey there! Yeah, I've decided to write another story while Fire and Blood is in progress, but I have good reason behind it. Recently, I've started watching this series (HunterXHunter, FYI) and the minute I saw Killua and his assassin side, I immediately fell in love with him (yes, I'm a sadist and love psychiatric issues among people with demon-like powers and stuff… Just my thing). I love him so much, I decided to write this about him (No spoilers about the ending please, I'm on episode 28 currently) and his relationship with Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio (no, I don't ship any of them romantically, but I'm not a homophobe like my brother; I support gay rights!) as he tries to cont – Oops! Almost exposed some spoilers there…

Anyway, LET'S START!

Chapter 1.) Gon's Dream
{Gon's POV}
I don't know why, but I was running; running from someone, I just didn't know who. I was scared beyond my wits as I forced my legs to keep moving.
"KURAPIKA! LEORIO!" I yelled as sweat began to form on my forehead. I was scared as panic began to form in my mi—
Wait, why didn't I call for Killua?
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make my mouth form the letters and syllables in my best friends' name, and it made me nervous.
"GON!" I heard someone yell. Upon hearing it, I skidded to a halt and turned around to recognize Leorio's deep voice.
"LEORIO! Are you okay!?" I yelled frantically. What came back scared me beyond all belief; a scream. A terrified, bloodcurdling scream echoing behind me, followed by Kurapika's voice yelling, "LEORIO!" and the sound of a liquid splattering on the ground.
I didn't know what to do, so I just stayed in one spot, waiting and listening for trouble past my panting.
"Why!? Why must it be you of all people!? Why you, Kil—" I heard Kurapika say, before he got cut off and screamed in pain.
"Kurapika? KURAPIKAA?!" I screamed frantically. Without thinking, I ran toward where I heard the screams.
Upon arriving, I saw many things; 1.) Blood, and lots of it, it's salty and metallic scent burning my nose. 2.) Leorio and Kurapika's bodies on the ground, that blood pooling around their midsections and faces. And 3.) My best friend, standing with his back to me, and blood on his hands, clothes, face, and in his hair.
"Kil-Killua?" I asked, barely managing to form my words with noticeable sobs forming a lump in my throat.
He didn't respond; well, not verbally at least. Instead, he turned to face me with emotionless eyes. His cheeks were spattered in our friends' blood, and his lips were curled into a psychotic smile.
"Heheheh, yeesss?" he chuckled, licking the blood off of his hands while walking toward me.
I swallowed hard (which I guarantee Killua heard), and unconfidently stood my ground.
"Do...Do you know who I-I am?" I stuttered, fear replacing my panic.
"Hahahah! Of course, Gon," he said, making me relax a bit, until – "You're my prey… and I'm going to kill you, so violently… you'll feel the pain when you're dead."
My heart stopped at that sentence, and my brain couldn't think rationally anymore, so I didn't run.
"Wh-what?"
I didn't get a response. Instead, I got an extremely forceful punch to my jaw, which sent me back a couple yards.
After I managed to get up, Killua reached me and used his razor-sharp claws to try and scratch me. Unfortunately for him, I was able to dodge and only get cut on my cheek.
He started maniacally laughing as he raised his nail to his mouth and licked my blood off.
"HAHAHAHAHA! This is way more fun!" he laughed, approaching me again as I tried to turn and run away. But using his super speed, he appeared in front of me and stuck his clawed hand into my shoulder, his face loving every second of pain and fear I expressed.
"GAAAHHH!" I yelled in pain when he pulled his hand out. Immediately, I fell to the ground and clutched at my left shoulder, trying to hold back my tears as they threatened to come out.
Killua must've seen this as his chance, because he lifted his foot and kicked me in the gut, sending me flying back again.
"Oh COME ON! I know you're stronger than THIS!" he yelled, walking toward me with a crazed look in his eyes.
"I… I…" I couldn't form the words I wanted to say. Seeing Killua like this was always my worst fear, not because he was dangerous, or because he would kill everyone in sight until he felt relieved,
But because I knew he would regret every second of it after, and he would hate himself for being this way, even though it wasn't his fault. And it hurt me so much when my best friend was in pain.
"You what!?" he taunted, forcing his hand into my leg, rendering me immobile and causing me to scream.
"I CAN'T STAND SEEING MY BEST FRIEND ACT LIKE A MONSTER!" I yelled out, my tears finally beginning to fall.
That must've gotten to him, because he immediately removed his hand and stared at me with a shocked and confused look on his face. "Wh-What?"
"I just can't STAND it! It hurts me and I know it HURTS YOU AFTERWARD! You need to stop! I mean, look at what you've done! You killed your friends and you're trying to kill me!" I just couldn't stop crying and yelling these things at him.
His eyes widened as he looked around at the massacre he had caused. The blood of Kurapika and Leorio on his hands and body, as well as many other innocent people's.
"I… I did this?" he asked with wide eyes, though he knew the answer.
"Are you that BLIND!? YES! YOU did this! You went mad and killed everyone like a MONSTER!" the words coming out of my mouth wouldn't stop, like a waterfall of negative feelings. I didn't mean to say those things, but they wouldn't stop coming.
Then he did something I hadn't seen him do in a long while; he started to cry.
He broke down right in front of me, fell to the ground, sobbing his eyes out while yelling (what I think was) apologetic gibberish.
I was shocked, and could only stare at him while my own tears began to fall. I couldn't imagine what was running through his mind, so I tried to approach and comfort him.
That's when he looked up with a tear-stained face and the most enraged eyes I had ever seen before.
He raised his hands and grabbed me by my throat while shoving me to the ground, strangling me with his inhumane strength. I tried to stop him, but ended up failing. While I could feel his cold tears fall on to my face, my air supply was being cut off and I began to slip into unconsciousness.
Right before I blacked out, I saw Killua take his hand away from my throat, defiled and bloodied…
And stab himself right in the eyes so far that his fingertips poked out the back of his head, after coldly saying, "Why didn't you kill me?" His grip on my neck then was released as his body slumped to the left of me and laid there, unmoving.
After he fell, I just stared, trying to regain my lost breath, and then I felt really sleepy for some reason.
"Kil-Killua?" I called out tiredly, but got no response. "KIILLLLLUUUAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
I awoke with a start, my body drenched in sweat as I tried to catch my breath. I grabbed my head in fear and frustration, as I closed my eyes and felt tears roll.
"Woah! Gon! What is it!?" I heard someone ask; Leorio.
Immediately, I looked up and sure enough, Leorio was kneeling right in front of me, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes with a concerned and semi-tired look on his face.
"LEORIO!" I yelled, latching onto his neck, not wanting to let go, "you're alive!"
"Wha? Well, yeah! Of course I'm alive!" he responded, half surprised.
"What's all the trouble?" I heard Kurapika's voice ask.
"KURAPIKA!" I yelled again, leaping off of Leorio's neck and grabbing Kurapika's.
"Eh? What's the matter?! Are you okay? You're covered in sweat!" he asked, trying not to fall over from my sudden impact.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" I replied, hugging him closer. Then a wave of shock made its way through my body. "WAIT! Where's Killua?!"
"Gon! What'dya want!? Can't a guy get any sleep around here?" Killua's tired voice asked from the door way.
"KILLUAAA!" I yelled with all my might. I then jumped off of Kurapika and ran so fast toward Killua, he was too tired to realize what hit him as he and I fell down while I hugged him tightly.
"What the—Gon! What are you doing!?" he asked, a twinge of pink forming on his pale cheeks.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" I exclaimed with tears beginning to fall some more, remembering every detail of my dream.
"What are you going on about!? Of course I'm okay! Are you okay?" he asked, a hint of worry in his voice when he saw my distressed face. Man, I must've looked pretty bad for him to worry about me.
At his words, I froze up. Not wanting to tell anyone (well, maybe Kurapika) about my dream, I just did my best to cool off and replied, "Y-yeah… I just had a nightmare…"
"Are you sure? You look pretty shaken," Kurapika pushed. His genuine worry for his team was what I admired about him most.
"Actually, Kurapika? Come with me to the bathroom please… I need to talk to you about something."
"Um, sure?" with that, he followed me to the bathroom.
"What was all that about?" I heard Leorio ask.
"Beats me. All I know is that I'm going back to bed," Killua replied. And with that, he turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
Once Kurapika finally reached the bathroom, I closed the door and locked it. Then I turned to Kurapika with an unconfident look on my face.
"Tell me what happened in your dream and why you screamed Killua's name before waking up," he demanded with a stern tone.
"Okay…" I said shakily. "My dream started with me running through a foggy clearing, but I didn't know why…"
