Chapter 1 – The Assassin Man and the Lady Martial Artist First Encounter

"I'm so bored here! Enough with this thing!" shouted the twenty-year-old lady after throwing the book from her hand. Glancing her room arisen her boredom. She breathed hard and stood up from sitting on the chair in front of the study table, went to her parent's room and entered the room without knocking.

"You're now a lady but then you always forgot to apply the good manners that I taught you. How many times do I have to tell you to knock first before entering a room?" Her mother said in a strict tune. Her mother was on her favorite couch while reading a magazine. "What brings you here?" her mother asked without looking at her.

"I want my freedom now. I don't like here anymore."

Her mother did not take her seriously. "Our place is so huge. If you feel bored, just stroll around."

"I'm bored. Almost every day of my life I am just strolling in our grounds. I want new place. I wanted to go outside…" Though she was expecting it, the shocking reaction of her mother made her uncomfortable. Her mother set aside what she's doing to confront her angrily.

"Outside world is not good for you, Karuto. I would not let you leave our place just that easy. You are my only daughter and I would not let anyone harm you. You must understand it. Only you and Milky left with me, if I let you go outside I wouldn't be happy because you know that you're my favorite among your siblings."

"I can take care of myself, Mom. I was also trained to be an assassin, remember? Why should not I be like Irumi and Killua? They were free to do whatever they want without your permission!" she furiously protest.

"You are not like them, Karuto. Stop comparing yourself with your older brothers. Besides, what Killua and Irumi do in the outside world, you can do it freely here." Her mother is now irritated.

"No Mom! You do not understand how I feel. Maybe I can do here anything what outside world can offer to me but dealing with the normal people outside of this world is not! Don't you get it? I want my freedom because I want to feel how to be a normal human being. I don't want to be an assassin anymore!" She left her mother with great fury inside.

"Karuto, go back here!"

Hongkong

"What's the matter with you?!" shouted the lady to a guy lying on his bed.

"I'm not going with you. Just go on. Enjoy the trip," answered the guy coldly.

"I don't understand! Why are you acting like this? Is there any problem between you and –" she could not continue her words because the guy's hand covered her mouth.

"You're going be late to your flight. Just go on and say my regards to all."

All the patience of the lady disappeared. She harshly get his hand off from covering her mouth and stood up angrily. "I will leave now! This is the last day you will see me because I am planning to stay in Japan for good! Goodbye!" She angrily grabbed her baggage and leave without looking back. He ruined her day and the bad luck continued on the airport. Someone grabbed her mini bag! The thief was so fast!

Meanwhile, Killua is ready to return to Japan when his cellphone rang. He went to Hongkong with the supervision of his father, Silver Zoldick. The voice of his mother on the phone annoys him. "Yeah, I know. Don't worry Mom, I'm on my way now." His mother was so worried to her sister Karuto because she escaped from their mansion. He knows his sister very well so he is not worrying at all. After the conversation with his mother, he walks right through the airport when a man suddenly stop in front of him. He looks at him confusingly and the man returns a devilish smile and run afterwards. Then, he noticed a mini bag on his hand! While glancing at the mini bag someone kicked him from his back. The impact of the kick throws him away a little bit.

"Hey! What is your prob –" he stopped when he saw who kicked him without any hesitation. A lady with a red eye and blue hair that ponytail in two like a little girl was in front of him and staring at him furiously.

"You're a thief!" accused of the lady.

"What?!" he exclaimed. Accusing him as a thief was very ashamed on his part. "So it's yours? Here!" He throws the mini bag towards the lady. "I'm not the one who stole your bag, Miss," he explained calmly.

"Really huh?" she answered sarcastically while checking her mini bag. Suddenly the lady looks at her angrily. "Where's my wallet here? You want me to believe you. You are bastard! Give me back my wallet!" her anger doubled.

"You know what, Miss? If you do not want to believe me, fine, but do not waste my time here. Every second and every minute you waste is important to me. Now, if you don't mind, I'll excuse." Killua is getting irritated now.

"Don't dare, Mister…" The lady used her right arm to punch him but he managed to avoid the attack. The eagerness of the lady grown, she keeps on kicking and punching repeatedly and alternately but he always managed to avoid it.

"You're good in Kung Fu but still you failed to hit me…" He said in a devilish smile. "Now it's my turn…" With just one moved, the lady suddenly almost fell from the floor but because he got irritated by her scream, he grab her falling body but fail to balance their position so they fell down on the floor and she's on his top!

Meilin was so shocked especially when she realized their position. Their faces were nearly inches away from each other. They could not help but stare with each other's eyes while hearing their own heartbeats. Meilin could not help to admire this handsome man in front of her. She did not noticed it because she was so focused on fighting him.

"Get up on my top," Killua commanded.

The admiration for the man suddenly disappear when she remember their situation. She stood up shyly and she could not help herself to examine his appearance. Why she have not noticed that this man is rich? From his white and smooth skin, signature polo shirt and pants, and a very manly awesome appearance!

"Miss, take this." She just looked at the money on his hand."Look, Miss, I am now giving you the money that you've lost and you're just staring on it. Is this not enough for you? So, you still believe that I am a thief? For your information Miss, my family is one of the richest clan in Japan so why should I steal a little money? As far as I know, with the wealth we have I can buy your life."

With that arrogant words of him, all the admiration she felt for him suddenly disappear. "I'd rather die than take your money! Eat your money, bastard!" She left immediately but she notice that he is following her. "Don't you ever follow me?!" Meilin said harshly.

"Don't blame me we have the same flight," Killua said coldly.

She ignores the man and walks across the airplane but to her dismay, of all people in the plane that man is her seatmate!

"What a coincidence!" he said in a naughty way.

"Don't talk to me!" Meilin said sternly.

For a moment, Karuto's checking-in at the hotel. She is planning to look for a house that will suits her. When she left the mansion, she made sure that she brought all her savings account. Her savings came from being a hired killer for almost 15 years. That is the business of her family, Zoldick, the family of assassin. Now, she wants to forget everything like what her older brother Killua did. According to their clan, Killua is the best of all but when he was 12 years old, he left the mansion just to join Hunter Association where he found his friends that he decided to abandon the assassin world. She envies the happiness and the freedom that Killua had gotten...

She decided to go outside the hotel to discover the outside world, the normal world of a human being.

Meilin sighed. Boredom kills her but when she looks at the sleeping bastard beside her. It is better to get bore than talk to the bastard! However, staring at his angelus face made her smile. He was so innocent when fallen asleep. She was alarmed by his little movement. She changes the direction of her eyes but then when she glances on him he still fallen asleep. She decided to sleep too but when she closed her eyes, she heard a familiar voice at the back of her seat. Act of curiosity, she kneels on her seat to look who is in the backseat. She saw her classmate when she was in college.

"Lucy!" she called.

"Meilin!" her classmate surprised.

"What is your business in Japan?" Meilin asked.

"I'm on vacation. How about you?" Lucy replied.

"I'm planning to work there." Meilin answered with a smile.

"Then good luck!"

She enjoys talking with her old classmate that is why she did not notice that the bastard beside her was already awaken because of her loud voice.

Killua got annoyed because he got awaken by the laughter near beside him but when he turned his head to his seatmate, his eyes got widen because he saw a pair of leg! Aside from the fact that this lady is just wearing a mini skirt there is a man maniacally staring on her seatmate's legs! He copied her position and whispered to her ear. "There's a maniac staring at your legs so you better sit properly," he said intentionally.

Meilin's cheeks turned red after that bastard seatmate told her that there's a maniac staring at her legs! To her embarrassment, she sits properly and pretend that nothing happens. However, when she heard the little laugh of that bastard, she confronted it. "What's funny, huh?" she said annoyingly.

"You," he answered then laughed again. "I thought you wouldn't mind but when I saw your red face I couldn't help to laugh," he added. Meilin ignored him. "Next time, if you have plan to do such things make sure not to wear skirt, you must be thankful I'm your seatmate not that maniac. Maniac don't choose as long as it's a woman."

"Stop insulting me! You bastard!" she said loudly. People on the plane looks at them. She could not help to cry because of embarrassment.

"Hey! Stop crying." Killua tries to stop Meilin from crying aloud but she cries more and more. "Shit! Are you a childish? Why didn't you bring your nanny here?" added Killua irritably.

"How dare you?!" Meilin gives him a punch on his face. "Don't dare talk again or else I'll ruin your face!" She added with a great anger on his eyes.

Killua was shocked. Her punch hurts so badly. He will never forget this incident in his life. No one dare to punch him because he will probably kill them. However, this lady, he never imagined that this lady was still alive after punching and kicking him so many times. This girl is amazing! After what she did, she fall asleep!
