Disclamer: Hunter X Hunter and its characters do not belong to me. I only own my OC's. Now, on with the story! Enjoy~!

The Black Butterfly is said to be beautiful;

She's graceful

Always fluttering from one carcass to another;

Sipping sweet blood from the already lifeless victim

Many say that seeing a Black Butterfly is bad luck

It means death, an omen.

But others say that it's simply a warning;

A beautiful warning that would either be taken seriously

Or pushed aside.

***************

The steady footsteps of the man came bouncing off the concrete walls. He was in a very good mood seeing as he managed to swindle a huge loot from his boss. "Those Zaoldyeck didn't know what was coming!" He thought with sick glee. He was confident that nothing would happen to him, they didn't even get mad when he practically slapped the forged paperwork on their faces, indicating that they owe him 10.9 million worth of stock. "Feh, this is great!" The man continued walking, the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. He stopped and looked behind him but saw nothing. He continued walking. Again, the steps started; this time accompanied by alluring giggles from a sweet voice. At the corner of his eye he saw a black butterfly fluttering out of the tunnel. He stopped yet again and turned around, in time to see the most beautiful sight he'd every encountered in his life. There, in front of him was a young lady, with her long red-violet hair flowing with the breeze and, oddly enough, a number of black butterflies were fluttering behind her. Her smile was so gentle and sweet; and despite having insects following her, that he even forgot how to breathe for a moment.

"Good afternoon mister," the girl bowed politely with grace.

"G-Good morning…" the man stuttered.

The girl laughed, it was music to the ears. "…ne…" her melodious voice made him want to just fall on his knees and gawk at her. "…be careful…" Before he could comprehend what she said, she walked past him; along with the hoard of butterflies behind her. As she passed, the scent of lavender was wafting in the air around him and he felt at peace.

When he finally collected his mind, he found himself against the concrete; something had knocked him off. He stifled a scream and turned his neck in time to see a mass of white hair.

"…y-you…" said the man, choking with fear.

"Hey there old man," the young man smirked mischievously. "How would you like to die? Slow or fast?" the boy's dark blue eyes looked at the man with evilness that no normal 16 year old would posses.

"P-Please spare me!" screamed the man.

"Sorry…you shouldn't have messed with the Zaoldyeck family," the boy flexed his fingers and sure enough, his nails elongated and sharpened; sharp enough to cut through flesh.

"ONEGAI!"

With a smirk from the boy; his hands dove into the man's chest. A bloody scream was heard.

With the bloody body abandoned, the black butterflies came back, along with their master. The violet eyed girl approached the body and touched it. With her eyes and arms glowing, she concentrated in her ability. In a blink of an eye; the body was gone and another black butterfly was added to her troupe. She stood up and sighed.

"You should do your work more neatly Killua-kun." she said to herself while walking out of the tunnel, the butterflies drinking the blood.

As brown, orange and yellow tinted leaves fell from their tree, Leiko passed the path leading to the main house. Despite the previous mission, she had a serene smile on her face. The weather did that to her. Autumn always made her feel happy no matter what events happened in her life. Leiko walked gracefully down the path as her head tilted slightly upward, taking in the sweet scent of the forest. Beside her, the guardian beast, Mike, jumped out and pounced on her. The air immediately filled with sweet laughter from the girl as she pet the beast lovingly.

True, today wasn't the best day; what with Uncle Silva doing paper works for that annoying bastard that Killua killed, but today was her favorite day. Today was her anniversary. Today marks her 7th year staying in the Zaoldyeck residence; the day they adopted her. It wasn't the greatest thing that anyone would expect, but she loved it. Being adopted to the family made her feel safe. They trained her to be a skilled fighter yet a very graceful girl. She didn't like the 'graceful' part, but it was a small price to pay for their generosity. Most of all, the thing that she loved about being able to stay with the Zaoldyeck's is none other than…

Her train of thought was interrupted when she and Mike passed the small clearing of the forest. Like all the people that lived in the residence, she had some duties; and one of those duties was to look after Killua. No, 'looking after' Killua doesn't mean to be his body guard. It only means that she needs to keep him out of trouble. And part of that was to keep his 'girlfriends' out of the vicinity; which was what he's doing right now. Leiko stood there and watched as the girl flirted with Killua, her high pitched voice reverberating all around them. Killua in return, was playing with her. He had his arms loosely around the girl's waist and he had a mischievous smirk on. Leiko inwardly winced. This was the only job she hated to do but didn't question it for it was Maha's orders. She hated seeing him with them but she didn't have a choice.

Leiko took a deep breath and stepped into the clearing with Mike behind her, growling loudly at the intruder. The girl instantly jumped and hugged Killua for protection from the said beast.

"Leiko, what are you doing here?" Killua asked with an annoyed tone.

"Doing my job; you know better than to take anyone of your classmates in here Killua-sama." Leiko looked at the girl with her cold eyes.

"Who I bring and play with is none of your business. And didn't I tell you not to call me 'Killua-sama'?"

Leiko kept her eyes at the girl, "It is my business. I was appointed by your great grandfather to keep an eye on you. Also, the rule says that 'None shall enter the house if they aren't able to pass the Door of Verification. No intruders," as if on cue, Mike growled at the girl. The girl, in turn, shrieked which annoyed Leiko.

Killua scoffed, "True, but she's with me. And don't talk as if your not an intruder yourself," he smirked. "Remember, you're not even a Zaoldyeck," he added in a teasing tone. Leiko tried to ignore his teasing but couldn't. "That's not the point, I got through the gates with my own strength," she tried not to portray any emotion except for a smile.

"Whatever," Killua shrugged. "Tell mom and dad that I'm gonna take this girl as my fiancée." His eyes sparkled with excitement as he hugged the girl closer. Leiko stared at him calmly, but inside, she wanted to shout at him and punch him, just to get his mind back where it needed to be. She held back though, and instead, she sighed and turned away. "Fine," she started walking towards the main house. "I'll tell them Killua-sama."

As he watched the graceful strides of Leiko, Killua couldn't help but be mesmerized. He noticed how her hair, richly colored violet, flowed freely past her shoulders and how her eyes sparkled of warmth despite their cold demeanor. His eyes followed her form until she disappeared behind the walls of thick trees. He suddenly wanted to take back what he said, but his pride and his common sense got the best of him so he held back. He was abruptly cut off from his thoughts by a loud screech…or was that a laugh? He looked down at the girl who was now clinging on his arm.

"I'm so happy! You're finally going to tell your parents about our relationship?!" the girl visibly bounced.

"Yeah," he had a sly smile on his face. "I think it's time for them to know about us. Are you ready for the introduction?" the girl nodded repeatedly, clearly happy about the turn of events.

Killua observed the girl, Rini was her name. Although Rini wasn't at all ugly, she couldn't be compared to Leiko's unearthly beauty, at least that's how Killua thought about it. He couldn't help but compare Rini to his precious Leiko. Although he decided to make this girl his fiancée, he secretly wished for her to be Leiko. But that could never come true. He can't risk it. If he let his emotions known, Leiko might suffer.

Leiko stared out her bedroom window, secretly watching the family gathering in the garden. Yesterday, as soon as she told Uncle Silva and Auntie Kikyo about Killua's rash decision, they almost exploded. Auntie went berserk and threatened to kill Rini, but Uncle, being the calmer one, prevented her. He said, "Let him learn by himself my sweet," and with that, they ordered Leiko to inform every employee in the residence. They were all to welcome the girl. Now, in the garden, Illumi, along with Uncle and Auntie, were talking to Rini and Killua. It was decided that Rini would be staying with them until the wedding. True, Killua and Rini were just high school students, but being a member of the Zaoldyeck family meant that you can do anything.

Leiko sighed in disappointment. What she feared the most was happening right under her nose, and that was Killua going away with another girl. She detested the fact that he went to that stupid high school of his, being surrounded with annoying girls who only want him because of his looks. She wanted to keep him here, with her and not let go, ever. Leiko wanted to relive those times when they were kids, when she was adopted. When Killua played with her and made her smile. But those happy moments were stopped when the headaches started to come. It was horrible! Her head felt like it was going to split open. They were so severe that she needed to be kept under intensive care; once or twice, she was knocked unconscious and had to stay in there for weeks. No one ever told her why she got the headaches, but she grew to learn that information was not shared with her for important reasons; she dealt with that.

Looking back at the garden, Leiko couldn't help but get amused at Illumi's expression. It was very obvious to her that he hated Rini. Illumi didn't like the fact that she couldn't get through the Door of Verification yet she was able to stand here. Leiko sighed yet again and thought deeply; maybe…if I go to high school…I can see him more often! A faint smile appeared on her face. Maybe I'll be able to win him back…She shook her head at the thought. That won't be good…it's obvious he doesn't give a damn at whatever I do…

True, she felt lonely, sad and caged; stuck in this mountain with nothing exciting to do. She could go out if she wanted to but she didn't see the point on spending time outside the gates if there was no one to hang out with. She loved Mike and played with him…but she longed to be with Killua, her precious Killua. Again, that'll never happened; she was but a mere intruder for him.

"Uncle, I want to attend high school," Silva looked wide eyed at the violet haired girl. She never showed interest on spending time outside the gates yet here she was, asking to go to one of the most crowded place a teenager can visit. "May I ask why you want to go Leiko?"

He saw her eyes blink and for a moment, he saw something foreign in the girl's eyes. Something an assassin should never have. "I…am growing bored…" It was an obvious lie to the great assassin but he let it go; the girl never asked for a favor ever since they have adopted her into the family. Even back then, she showed great potential. But her parents never agreed to him…so he had to take action.

"Alright, would it be okay if you attend the same school as Killua?" to his surprise, the girl's eyes brightened. "Yes. I'd be honored to," her smile was priceless. Silva smirked at the thought of men falling for her trap; her smile would be the death of them.
"Then you'll start tomorrow. I'll tell Gotoh to prepare your enrollment."

"Thank you very much Uncle," she bowed slightly and left the room. Secretly, Silva was thinking. It would be great if she becomes a real member of the family.

Leiko exited the room and sighed, relieved that it all went well with Uncle. She couldn't help but allow a small smile grace her lips. "What's with that smile?" a familiar voice beside her startled the living soul in her. She looked at Killua who was casually leaning beside the door. Was he listening? "Nothing to be concerned about, Killua-sama," her fake yet warm smile made its way back to her face.

"Why were you talking to dad?" Killua's eyes were masked with concern though Leiko was too slow to notice.

"I'm sure you've already heard Killua-sama. I'm attending your high school. Don't worry, I won't bother you nor Rini-sama," she cringe at saying that girl's name with an honorific.

"But why would you want to go! Didn't you hate associating with people?" Killua was staring at her intensely.

"Killua-sama," her eyes were sharp and it made him shudder. "You don't have the right to question me. You were the first one to go to high school and what was your answer when I asked you? You said 'To get away from the freaks here…'" Killua winced at the memory. He didn't think that she would still remember it. "So if you'll excuse me," her smile was blindingly sweet. "I'm going to fix my clothes for tomorrow," Killua gawked at her excited attitude; so adorable! He watched her happily skip her way to her room. Once she's out of sight he growled. Why would she want to go to that place!? Killua didn't want anyone else except for him to see her. By going to high school, and knowing how hormonal guys are, a lot of boys would surely chase her! He didn't want that! He didn't want to share her. He clutched his fists angrily. How selfish of me…

On her way upstairs, Leiko sensed the familiar presence of the annoying girl. She sighed and prepared her forced smile as she saw Rini walk out of her new room. Leiko wanted to just ignore her but failed as Rini noticed her walking. Rini cocked her head and looked at the beauty walking gracefully. Leiko stopped and looked at Rini, she smiled and put on her excellent façade. "Good evening Rini-sama," she didn't bow. In return, Rini's usual bubbly personality melted as she glared at Leiko. "Don't think that I didn't see you spying on us," her glare was penetrating but it didn't bother Leiko.

"Spying?"

"Yes! Don't act like you don't know! I saw you looking over the garden! Now that I'm living here, don't you dare come and flirt with Killua. He's my prince!"

Leiko couldn't help but twitch. This girl obviously doesn't know the real Killua. "What is it that you like about Killua-sama?"

Rini looked at her as if she was stunned at the question. "I love everything about him! His eyes, his hair, his muscles…his height! His smile…the way he runs his fingers through his hair…his voice…everything!"

Leiko sighed sadly, this girl only sees him for his appearance. Leiko shrugged and smiled at Rini, "Sweet dreams Rini-sama," she nodded and left the rather flustered girl. Before Leiko could leave though, Rini said, "Remember! I'm warning you! Don't go near Killua! He's mine and will always be. He doesn't need a freak like you!"

Leiko tried to ignore, unsuccessfully but she managed to stop herself from ripping that girl into shreds. Or what's more appealing, turn her into a bloodsucking butterfly. A sadistic smile passed Leiko's lips as she went inside her room.

Running down the steps in her brand new uniform, Leiko ran into Illumi. The emotionless man looked down at her. Despite not showing it, he found her high school uniform quite…attractive. "In a rush aren't we Leiko? Where are your manners?" Illumi asked amusedly. "Ah! Sorry Illumi-sama! I'm just…in a hurry," she didn't know how to express her current feelings. She's never felt this way in a long time. Not since Killua first took her to the village fair. "By the way, nice suit Illumi-sama," she gave him her rare suggestive smirk that'll send any man down on their knees. "Going somewhere important?"

Illumi shook his head, "I have a meeting with dad. He said I should dress up…something about a marriage proposal?" Illumi, as always, looked uninterested. "I see, well, I hope your wife to-be won't end up as a pin cushion." She meant it as a joke which he gladly chuckled at. "Right, I'll make sure to keep my pins off her ne?" Illumi ruffled her hair playfully as he continued his way to his father's office.

Leiko glanced at her watch and hurried towards the dining quarters where Canary had a lunch bag ready for her. "Thanks Cana-chan!" Leiko smiled at the guardian girl and ran out the gigantic doors of the main house. The fresh autumn air hit her face and Leiko inhaled it deeply. She didn't know what to expect from high school but if Killua could stand it and find happiness in it, she thinks that she can too. She put on her rollerblades and smiled mischievously. Standing up with great balance, she poised herself and pushed her feet off the ground; jumping off the steps of the main porch. Today, since it's early, no one would see her in her original character; the free spirited ungraceful girl who loved the wind hitting her face. She let out a melodious laugh as she passed Mike, waving at him, making the beast chase her down the mountain. The steep slope was great for skating, especially if it's someone who loved challenges. Leiko jumped over rocks and protruding branches until she reached the Doors of Verification. She waved at the caretaker, Zeburo, and took a deep breath. Despite her lithe form, she held her hands on the gate and pushed. She opened the door easily, as if it was a normal wooden door, but in truth, the doors; each of them, weighs 2 tons that doubles as the gate gets larger. Zaburo tipped his hat at Leiko once she was out of the gate, not even breaking a sweat and not a trace of bulky muscle in her body. She took out her map of the town and skated merrily down the road, looking for her new school.

Unknown to Leiko, secretly, she wasn't the first one to wake up. Killua was up earlier than her and was currently patrolling the mountain. In truth, he couldn't sleep. Not with the thought of any other guys seeing his precious treasure out of its chest. No. He didn't like sharing his possessions. But then again, when was she his possession? When the sun rose and gave the sky a hint of scarlet, Killua heard a melodious laugh. He followed it and to his astonishment, it was his precious jewel, Leiko. She was happily putting on her skates and rushing down the slope of the land. His feet and brain weren't coordinating. His brain wanted to stay where he is; not wanting to further his longing for her, but his feet carried him towards the violet haired girl who was now jumping over rocks with such grace. He loved the way she ran freely like the wind. He always wanted to see this side of her, but being in this family, such actuations were uncommon. He remembered the time when he met Leiko, she was such a bright child, both in brain and personality. But ever since that incident…everything changed. It was all because of him…

Skidding to a stop, Leiko looked at the looming figure of the high school. It looked like a torture chamber. With the windows sealed close and they looked so dark from the inside. "Students study in this building?" she wondered out loud.

"Why of course," answered a voice behind her. Leiko spun around and stared at pretty blond girl with startling blue eyes. "But…it looks so dark inside." Leiko said with confusion in her voice.

"Of course its dark, the school's not officially opened yet. You are very early," the blond girl looked at her up and down, studying her form. "Are you a new student?"

"Yes! I just transferred," Leiko extended her hand out at the girl. The blond shook it. "I'm Kurapica, nice to meet you," the girl smiled at her. Kurapica…now where have I heard that before? Leiko examined Kurapica's form and blinked in confusion. What was this girl doing in a boy's uniform? "Do I have something on me?" Kurapica asked.

"AH! You're the dude Killua was talking about! Oh my! You really do look like a girl!" Leiko gasped in utter surprise. Kurapica, on the other hand, wasn't enjoying the conversation. "Then I assume you are Leiko?"

"How did you know?" Leiko went into a defensive position, ready to attack him if he was a spy.
"I'm Killua's friend," Kurapica took a step back; avoiding a fight as much as possible. He was well aware of what this girl was capable of.
"Oh, then forgive me Kurapica-san," she bowed in apology. Kurapica made her lift her head and smiled at her. "It's fine. And you don't have to be so formal." Kurapica led her through the school gates and into the building where he showed her the different classrooms. "You can leave your skates in your shoe locker later when you get one," he told her and she nodded. This facility was new to her. Never in her life had she entered a school before. "Such a small building can hold lots of kids in it?" Leiko wondered since the Zaoldyeck residence is much bigger! "Yes," Kurapica answered with amusement. "Wow…"

As the time went on, students started arriving one by one; all of them craned their necks to see the new girl walking down the hallways lightly. The light made her hair and skin glow; catching more attention. "Anyway, here's the main office. Tell them you're new and they'll know what to do from there," Kurapica smiled at her.

Leiko nodded and followed his instructions, "Thank you Kurapica-san. I'll see you around!" With that, she entered the main office. Once gone, Kurapica walked away, wow…no wonder Killua keeps her in that house. His eyes swept around the vicinity, almost every single male in the school was in sight, straining to see the beauty who disappeared inside the main office.

As the new student stood in front of the classroom, Rini found herself being in a bad mood. No one told her that Leiko was going to the same school as her and Killua. Why didn't they tell her?! She was his fiancée! She had the right to know anything that involves him. Especially this girl; she found Leiko's existence as a threat and the fact that even though she's only been here for a mere hour, Leiko's already the center of attention amongst everyone; mostly the guys, made it even worst. Rini bit her fingernail as she listened to Leiko introduce herself. After her introduction, which made Rini squirm in her seat and bite her last fingernail, Leiko was sent to sit in the middle of the room. I'm not going to let her have a good day, Rini told herself as she glared at Leiko's back.

"Have you heard of the Autumn Ball Leiko-chan?" asked a boy with spiky hair. Leiko met her in the cafeteria when she got lost during lunch. Now, Gon offered to take her to the nurse's room to eat lunch, he said it's better than the cafeteria. What's more, he was friends with the nurse.

"No…is it a party?" Leiko held her lunch bag on her side as she looked at her Sempai.

"Well…it is, but there's more dancing and having fun!!!"

"Isn't that a party?" Leiko had a sweat drop on her forehead.

"…oh…well…Are you going?" Gon was visibly blushing due to embarrassment.

"Maybe; I need to tell Uncle and Auntie first…" Leiko thought about the ball as Gon lead her inside the nurse's office. Leiko blinked as she saw the 'nurse'. He looks young!

"Oi! Who's this girl Gon; your girlfriend?" the nurse asked, a visible smirk on his face.

"…n-no!" Gon was red yet again. "This is Leiko! She looked lost so I took her here…I hope you don't mind Leorio-sensei."

"Oh I don't mind at all! In fact, any beautiful girl is welcome to my office!"

Leiko shuddered. She didn't like the smirk on his face. "So how's your first day in school Leiko-chan?" Leorio asked, taking a sip of his orange juice.

While unwrapping her lunch, Leiko smiled, stunning everyone in the room, "It was interesting…I didn't think I would actually enjoy being in a place full of people." She started eating her lunch with Gon and Leorio secretly gawking at her. No girl has ever possessed that kind of smile.

After eating lunch with Leorio and Gon, Leiko went to the lady's room to wash her hands. She wasn't expecting anything interesting happening in the restroom, but as soon as she stepped in, she heard whispered voices. Due to her assassin's training, she was able to walk silently inside the bathroom.

"…Leiko…"

"…mad at her?... … nice… …"

" … … …fake! "

Leiko went inside a stall, locked it silently and fluidly mounted the toilet seat to avoid her feet being seen. In the stall, she could hear and recognize the voices easier. She smirked at the thought.

"We need to be mean to her! She needs to suffer!" Rini said with hatred in her voice.

"What did she ever do to you?" a girl from her class asked.

"Just look at her! She's so full of herself! Attracting every guy in sight! Don't you feel mad?!"

"…not really…"

So Rini's really insecure. I wonder what's wrong with her… Leiko sighed. Rini had no right to feel angry at her. For one, Rini had Killua. Slipping silently out of the restroom, Leiko tried to be calm. Let her do what she wants…she's nothing but a mere commoner…

The whole day, Leiko didn't see Killua. She was disappointed by this. True, she didn't want to bother him, but she just wanted to see him…even just a glimpse. It was odd that in this school building, she couldn't find him. Is he trying to hide? She dismissed that thought. Why would he hide from her? When the dismissal bell rang, Leiko proceeded to her shoe locker. Opening it, she blinked and stared. Inside was a red note. In black letters it said, "Stay away from him you freak! " Leiko sighed. Her skates were gone. She took the note and threw it in the trash. As if she couldn't guess who wrote that. She took her bag and headed home.

The walk home was really long. With her skates, it was faster but she didn't complain. She rounded a corner and decided to take a short cut. She jumped over a tall fence and landed gracefully on the other side. She cocked her head. I never knew a road like this existed…She stared at the dirt path that stretched towards the forest at the foot or Kukuru Mountain. The path looked untouched. Her curiosity got the better of her and she proceeded to walk through it. Looking around, the path was surrounded by tall grasses. I bet there're lots of flowers in there. She took in every sight her eyes could see. Suddenly, something in her mind spoke.

Somewhere down this path…there's supposed to be a house…

She blinked and stopped for a moment. Where did that thought come from? She winced slightly and clutched her head. No…not now…

Leiko continued her way and to her horror, there really is a house! Or rather, was a house; for there were only remnants of it. Slowly proceeding towards the ruins, Leiko clutched her head and her bag. "W-What is this?" She couldn't shake off the feeling that she knows this place. It scared her that she knew how many rooms were in the house; 20, that there used to be a pool in the back yard, in the garden there was a huge tree and that was proved by merely looking through the now burnt house. She continued walking towards it and every step she took, the harder the waves of throbbing in her head hit.

The wind was blowing and the huge white house was still erect.

Leiko staggered towards the house.

Children's voices were heard; their melodious laughter resounding throughout the garden.

Her head pulsed painfully at the strange memories.

"Killua-chan, hurry up! Mike's hungry!"

She couldn't take it anymore. Leiko fell on her knees, her eyes half closed, trying to endure the enormous pain in her head.

"Leiko, come in now sweet angel!" yelled a shadowy figure from the house.

She can't hold on any longer. With a loud sickening thud; Leiko fell face first unconsciously on the ground.

Angry looking rain clouds started gathering around the top of Kukuru Mountain. Surely, the rain had already reached the lower foot of the mountain. The strong gusts of wind were howling rampantly against the forest in the Zaoldyeck premises. The weather mimicked Killua's already dark mood. The whole day, he wasn't able to go to school due to some annoying marriage arrangement regarding him and his brother. What's more annoying is that he was deprived of seeing Leiko in school, all in her cute uniform glory. Killua smirked at the thought. But thinking of Leiko in school was also annoying…he wasn't there to scare the creepy guys away from her.

"Killua, stop pacing around!" yelled Gon as he pounced on his best friend, wrestling with him.

"He's right Killua. You'll grow wrinkles if you don't stop putting on that kind of expression," Leorio smirked.

"Stop teasing my Killua!" yelled Rini from the top of the stairs, bursting into a run to pry Gon away from her Killua and hugging him instead. Killua rolled his eyes behind her back. The three young men did the same. They never really liked the fact that Rini was now 'part' of their friendship group because of Killua. Then again, what could they do? The three were visiting their friend since he was out the whole day. Gon was accompanied by Leorio and Kurapica to give Killua the assignments he missed.

"So Killua, we met Leiko this morning," Kurapica said as he sipped his coffee. Rini visibly twitched in annoyance. She was trying so hard not to mention Leiko's name.

"Oh really, what did you think?" Killua was visibly interested as to what Leiko did.

"She was a beauty alright!" Leorio said with his perverted smirk, "such a shape of those…" He was cut off by Killua's skateboard hitting his head.

"It was alright. She seemed nice," Kurapica smiled at the thought of Leiko, which made Killua want to kick him too.

"She was very popular too Killua! You should've seen the guys eyeing her! It was like…they wanted to eat her!" Gon, of course, didn't think before he talked. This made Killua even more annoyed than he already is. He was about to say something mean to everyone when suddenly, the door burst open. Sudden lightning cracked through the sea of clouds as Illumi stepped in the room.
"Great entrance bro," Killua's tone laced with sarcasm.

Illumi ignored him. "Has Leiko arrived yet? It's been three hours since school ended, I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be home already." Despite his emotionless eyes, Illumi seemed to be concerned.

"…she's probably out there playing with Mike…you know how she is…" Killua said with absolute boredom, but inside, his heart was racing with anxiety.

"Under this type of weather?" Illumi continued his questioning.

"…she's a weirdo…" Killua countered.

"…you know that it's thundering outside…" Illumi's eyes narrowed at his brother.

Killua winced. He knew that Leiko was secretly scared of thunder. "Then where could she be?" He couldn't help but feel his nerves snapping.

"…well…" everyone looked at Rini as she made a sound. Hesitantly, Rini grimaced and said, "I saw her take the shortcut after school. I thought it was faster so I followed her secretly…I couldn't keep up so I went back." she unconsciously bit her nail. Did she just help Leiko? She didn't like this feeling.

"…did you know which shortcut she took?" Killua was at the edge of his seat.

"The one near the foot of the mountain"

Killua and Illumi instantly stared at each other, a roll of thunder resounding through the thick walls. Killua was the first to stand up. Illumi has already jumped out of the window. Rini's eyes were opened wide at Illumi's actions. "D-Did he just…wait! Killua, where are you going?" She grasped Killua's arm to prevent him from leaving.

"None of your business," his eyes were empty of all emotion for her.

"You're going to look for her aren't you?" Rini said accusingly.

"And what if I am?"

"You can't! As your fiancée I forbid you to look for her!" she stomped her feet for emphasis.

If looks could kill, Killua would've murdered someone right this instant, "No one can forbid me from doing anything!" he shoved her away and ran outside in the pouring rain.

Rini stared. She was still in a state of shock. Did he just glare at her? Her face contorted with hate for Leiko. If it wasn't for that girl, she would've had Killua for herself already! I won't forgive her. She sprinted to her room and locked herself in it.

"…so…I guess we just sit back?" Leorio asked.
