Welcome to my new fanfic! The majority of people chosen the High School AU Mystery over the fem!Gon idea so here it is!
This won't be updated as often as Demon's Light though. I'm just going to upload and write new chapters whenever I feel like it (I have no schedule whatsoever with this fic! Plus it'll increase the suspense since mystery is involved! XD) I always wanted to do a high school murder mystery with humor and an awkward twist! XD
And the concept of nen is a bit different in here. I say nen, but it's basically everyone's Hatsu XD the title was inspired by the manga title Iris Zero...You guys should read it! *v*
Disclaimer: I do not own Hunter x Hunter
Netero Academy.
A...Special sort of school for students with supernatural abilities.
Now you're probably thinking: "Oh everyone has their own superpowers, and they study their own powers, become stronger, blah blah blah." Or something around those lines. But it's the exact opposite.
It's a rule that everyone keeps their abilities to themselves. It's in order to keep the peace amongst the students and that the people in the school can enjoy their days like ordinary people.
In the outside world, normal people reject those with these special abilities. If they were to live in the outside world they suffer serious trauma's, discrimination, and forms of bullying.
Which is why Netero Academy was made.
But what's this ability you may ask?
Nen.
Nen is an unknown power that manifested within the ancestors a long time ago. A person is granted with a unique ability depending on their close to death experiences. Each nen ability is different for every person, and it can be very dangerous to others in the outside world.
Of course, there's always some sort of drawback if a person ever decides to use their ability.
Only the people who have nen are able to attend and live in the dorms at Netero Academy. In total, there are currently 300 people residing in Netero high. All of those students, teachers and employees that live in the dorms have nen. And they are the only people in the world that have nen. These individuals are protected, and given certain objects to contain or suppress their abilities from going haywire.
This school is the only way for people with nen to live their lives normally...
Or so they thought.
In a semi-normal classroom in Netero Academy...
"Ok guys, whether you like it or not we have a new student!" The teacher called out. All the students lifted their tired heads finally interested in what he had to say.
"Really Mr. Leorio?"
"Woohoo! New kid!"
"Is it a girl? A boy?"
The kids in the class chattered excitedly, wondering what the new student is going to be like.
"Tch, you guys only wanna listen to me whenever something new is happening..." Leorio sucked his teeth annoyed as he turned to the door. "It's a guy, and I DON'T want any girls screaming if he's hot looking or something like last time! You girls nearly broke my ear drums..." Leorio shuttered.
The girl sulky whined thinking it wasn't fair, "Ok, you can come in kid!" Leorio called.
A white hair teen entered the classroom...and Leorio's warnings went in vain when the girls jumped from their seats fan-girling at the new student. Leorio face-palmed, "Do you guys want a surprise test or what?!" Everyone fell silent. Leorio smirked, "That's much better~! Now, how about you introduce yourself...before everyone starts screaming again..."
"Killua Zoldyck." The silver hair teen took his hands off his ears from the screaming.
"Ok Killu- Wait a moment...Killua? What kind of name is that?" Leorio gawked at the boy.
"What do you mean?" The white hair teen asked.
"You have 'kill' in your name!" Leorio pointed at him.
Killua cocked a brow, "So?"
"That's just weird! What kind of parents do you have?" Leorio gawked at the albino hair boy.
Killua blinked helplessly at first as he held his hand to his chin, "Actually that is a good question Mr..." He already forgot his own teacher's name. He said it earlier, but he didn't bother keeping tabs on it.
"Leorio." He prefers the students to call him Leorio rather than Paladinight. His last name sounded way too long.
"Right, Mr. Reolio. My family is messed up anyway. I like skateboarding and I hate math." Killua faced the class again quickly finishing his introduction getting it out of the way.
"It's Leorio!" The teacher corrected but the class began to laugh at the new name.
"Mr. Reolio!"
"Mr. Reolio-san!"
"Reolio, Reolio Reolio~!" The class chanted.
"ARGHHHH, WHY DID I EVER BECOME A TEACHER HERE?!" Leorio held the sides of his head as if it was going to burst. The class continued to roar with laughter. "Take your seat wherever. I'm going to drill some 'math' which all of you dread, then make you guys do a test!"
"NO FAIR!" The students cried as Killua found his way to a empty seat. Leorio smirked triumphantly, and had the urge to laugh evilly. But he suppressed it with his cheap grin.
"Hey, Mr. Reolio!" Killua raised his hand.
"IT'S LEORIO!" He corrected again.
"Ok...Mr. Oreos! Mr. Leoreos!" Killua really didn't want to do either option Leorio listed earlier. So the only way to avoid it...is to distract him.
"MY NAME IS NOT A COOKIE KID! GOT THAT?" Leorio retorted enraged.
"Oh oh oh, Leorio! Leorio!" A hyper voice called out.
Leorio turned to the spiky hair teen with an exasperated sigh, "What Gon?"
"Tch, how comes he gets to call you by your name without the Mr.?" Killua furrowed his brows somewhat agitated that Leorio responded to him without correcting the honorific.
"Because, he's just Gon-"
"Leorioooooo." Gon called again interrupting Leorio.
"What now?" Leorio dropped his shoulders.
"Can Kon stay with us for class today? Since you guys mentioned cookies, he started getting hungry...So I thought he can join us for lunch later too!" Gon excitedly announced.
Everyone stared at the fox bear whose head was fitting in the window. He stared at everyone happily like it was a puppy wanting a treat.
The whole class screamed.
"No Gon! You can't have an animal in class! Shoo it away! Shoo shoo!" Leorio tried shooing the bear away with his hands. Kon's eyes widened, intrigued by everyone's reactions.
"I can't do that!" Gon pouted crossing his arms.
Leorio's eyebrow twitched in agitation, "And WHY not?"
"Because, you'll make us do the test!" Gon retorted confidently.
"...That's plain obvious Gon." Leorio eyed at him.
"So in return, I'll only tell Kon to leave if you give us a early recess!" Gon tried to compromise with Leorio.
Everyone in the class jumped excitedly and Leorio weakly backed away not willing to give in that easily...
But there was the fox bear who was happily smiling at him.
Leorio thought he could be eaten at any given moment.
"F-Fine! Early recess!" The teacher reluctantly gave in.
The class cheered.
"My paycheck is gonna get cut for sure..." Leorio gloomed silently.
They were all outside in the courtyard happily playing around. It had vast green scenery with some trees and a flower bed on the side, and up ahead was the forest where Kon presumably lives in.
Close to the forest, was a small river and Gon already had his trusty fishing rod out ready to reel in whatever took the bait. He was sitting on a strong tree branch and was waiting for a bite.
Killua ran up to the big tree Gon was residing on, "Yo! You did good with that fox bear friend of yours!"
"Heheheh, it was nothing. I really didn't want to take the test." Gon shyly scratched behind his head.
"Neither did anyone. Ne, you're name is Gon right?" Killua asked to confirm.
"Yeah! I'm Gon Freecs! Nice to meet ya!" He waved at him.
"Killua Zoldyck, but you already knew that." Killua reintroduced himself and they both stared at each other for a moment. Then they both cheekily laughed. "You fishing?" Killua noticed Gon was holding his fishing rod.
"Yeah, but it doesn't seem like I'll catch anything today. I don't have any good bait on me." Gon admitted.
"Hmmm..." Killua hummed shutting his eyes for a moment, thinking about something. Then a Cheshire cat grin was spread on his face, "I think I can help you there~"
"Really?" Gon's eyes glistened.
"Yeah! How far can your line go?" Killua asked.
"About up to that tree over there. Why?" Gon asked as he pointed to the tree that was further behind them.
"Throw it here." Killua held out the palm of his hand. Gon took the hook out of the water and tossed it over to Killua and caught it with ease. "Don't look behind. When I tell you to cast it, pull as hard as you can."
"Hmmm...ok!" Gon naively agreed as he turned back around.
Killua skipped over to Leorio, who had his back turned to Killua, "Oi, Mr. Oreos!"
Before Leorio turned around, Killua put the hook on Leorio's clothes. "Huh? It's Leorio! What is it now?" Leorio tiredly looked down at Killua.
"Do you want to help Gon with fishing?" He asked almost innocently, but you can tell there was a devious look in his eyes.
"Nah, I'm only here to supervise all you kids, not just you two. Now go on with your fishing."
"Are you sure~? Killua pried continuing to use the innocent cat like charm.
"Hai hai. I'm completely sure." Leorio waved him off and turned back to the newspaper he was just reading.
"Gon! You can cast it in now!" Killua excitedly yelled at Gon ahead. Leorio blinked already noticing that something was wrong.
"Ok! Yosha!" Gon began casting the line but realizing it was heavy as Killua warned earlier, he pulled as hard as he could.
Suddenly Leorio felt himself flying off the ground, with his newspaper escaping from his hands.
Leorio plunged into the river with a giant splash.
"Leorio?!" Gon gasped as he gawked at his teacher who was thrown in the river. He looked over to Killua questionably...and slightly confused.
"See? Isn't he the perfect bait?" Killua shrugged his shoulders with a grin.
Gon blinked noticing how all the fish were gathering around Leorio. He was about to laugh but he quickly covered his mouth.
Killua bursted into laughter and Gon couldn't hold it in anymore and began laughing along with Killua.
Leorio's head emerged from the river, "KILLUA! GON! DETENTION!" Leorio roared from the waters.
"Grk." Both boy cringed at Leorio's tone as they stopped laughing.
They were busted.
The sun was setting and it was almost close to evening. Classes were already done and the students were dismissed back to their dorms rooms.
However, Killua and Gon had to serve their detention by cleaning up the classroom.
"I thought a school like this would be boring, but I guess it isn't that bad after all." Killua swept the corner of the room with his broom. "I can make as much trouble as I want!"
"Killua..." Gon sweat-dropped, as he finished sweeping his side of the classroom. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not? We totally had a blast earlier!"
"I know, but if you keep making trouble, you'll get detention every day." Gon pointed out to him.
Killua sneakily laughed, "Not if I trick them~" He wagged his finger, "I have a special trick of getting away from situations like these."
Gon stared at him, "If you do, then why aren't you escaping now?"
"It's only my first day. First I got to make sure I'm just an ordinary trouble maker. After I show my true colors, they won't know what hit them!" Killua confidently pumped a fist in the air while laughing like a typical evil mastermind.
Gon nervously laughed not knowing if he should run away now...or run away now.
"Excuse me?" Killua and Gon heard a voice from the door and they both turned to see a blond hair guy...Or was it a girl? They weren't too sure, but he was carrying some papers and was looking around the classroom as if he was lost. "Did Mr. Wing come here by any chance?"
"Who's that?" Killua asked Gon.
"He's a science teacher. He was here earlier remember?" Gon explained to Killua. Mr. Wing came by on Leorio's behalf to check on the two of them. Gon turned his attention back to the other student, "No, he left here a while ago. He might be in the teacher's lounge."
"I see. Thanks." The blond thanked him and was about to exited out the door...until...
"GON!"
The blond was knocked over by a very loud Leorio. He held up an empty lunch box in front of the two teens and they looked at each other confused. "What is the meaning of this?!"
Gon blinked a couple of times, as he tried to register the empty lunch box in his mind, "Eh?"
"It's all your fault that those fox bears takes my lunch all the time now!" Leorio cried.
Gon looked at the empty box again and back at Leorio, "But maybe he took it because you didn't let him stay in class earlier..."
"AS IF!" Leorio wailed.
"Idiot, it could have been the cub not the parent. You don't see a giant fox bear walk into the school every day." Killua put his hands behind his head.
"And accusing a student with the baseless evidence of a fox bear taking your lunch is rather insulting to your reputation sir. It could have been another student, or you could have simply forgotten to pack it this morning." The blond cut in as he began dusting himself off from the tackle.
"Hey hey hey! I have all my right to blame whoever I feel like! And it's Mr. Leorio, not sir. You made me sound like I'm old..." Leorio grumbled, turning his head away grimly. Getting told off by students is kinda harsh.
"Why are you looking for Mr. Wing though?" Killua asked, returning to the original subject.
"I need to give him some papers from Principal Netero. It's the permission papers for future field trips." Gon and Killua eyes widened in excitement, "for the second year students." He finished, and they both pouted disappointed. The blond chuckled.
"Ah, Wing already went back to his dorm room." Leorio answered the question as he took out his cell phone from his pocket. "What's your name? I'll ring him up for you, since his room isn't too far from here."
"Kurapika Kuruta." The blond introduced himself.
First he hummed, he felt as if he heard the name before, but he shrugged it off. "Alright, hang on a moment..." Leorio began scrolling through the contact list.
Bang! Thunder struck loudly from the outside. The four turned to the windows and saw that it was dark outside and the winds were blowing strong with heavy rain.
"That's strange; they said it would be sunny all day. Where did this storm come from?" Killua stared at the chaotic weather burring outside.
"It was fine just a second ago..." Leorio gaped at the window in awe as he returned his attention to his phone.
Gon crossed his arms, "Hmmm...I wonder too. The animals were panicking about something earlier, maybe something changed in the atmosphere?"
Kurapika hummed for a moment and lifted a finger, "It could be a collision of precipitation clouds and-"
"Whoa whoa, don't get all intellectual on me-What the..." Leorio cut off Kurapika. But he suddenly paused as he repeatedly began pressing more buttons on his phone.
"What's wrong now?" Gon asked.
"I lost signal." Leorio said.
The lights began to flicker back and forth.
"Aw man, is the power is going to go out too?" Killua complained.
Leorio grunted all of a sudden with his eyes widening, as he saw something dark enter in the room. "Everyone! We gotta get out of here!"
"But why?" Gon asked frantically.
Everyone else noticed the dark shadow coming in through the door. Faintly Kurapika's eyes glowed red and Killua back up in a fighting stance. Gon held up his broom ready to whack whoever entered, and Leorio was about to grab a chair to throw it at the intruder.
But it was too fast, whatever it was knocked the four of them out with ease.
Not too long afterwards, it was 7PM on the clock, and it was still dark and stormy outside. Thunder echoed from the outside making Gon stir from his sleep. Gon rubbed his head, "Ow...how did I?" He sat up from the floor and looked ahead of him...
Gon saw himself unconscious on the floor. "Eh? Eh?" Gon looked from side to side seeing Leorio and Kurapika still knocked out as well. He decided to wake...himself up. "Hey! H-Hey?" Gon concluded that he didn't turn into a ghost since he was able to touch his own body.
"Wait a second, where did Killua disappear too? Why does my voice sound so different too?" Gon wondered not seeing his body lying around. He'll worry about his own voice later. The other 'Gon' woke up groggily. He rubbed his eyes as he looked directly at the current Gon.
"How are you me?!" The other Gon pointed at him freaked out.
"Huh? What do you mean? Who are you, why am I talking to myself?" Gon yelled at his doppelganger.
"I should be asking the same thing!" The other retorted.
"What do you mean?!" Gon gawked back confused as he noticed his hands had a paler skin tone than it was before...He looked down seeing that his uniform was unbuttoned, "I was sure that I buttoned it up earlier..."
"Quiet down..." Leorio finally got up.
"Who's making all that racket?" Kurapika grumbled waking up as well.
The four of them looked at each other with extreme confusion. They all mouthed some indescribable words as they looked at each other back and forth.
The four ran to the window to confirm their suspicions.
Gon saw himself as Killua.
Killua saw himself as Gon.
Kurapika saw himself as Leorio
And Leorio saw himself as Kurapika.
Thunder dramatically crashed in the skies again, and lightning flashed in front of their faces.
They all screamed in terror and realization.
The four of them switched bodies with each other.
Please review if you guys like it and if you want me to continue! Because...I might just neglect this one in the end XD
