Sakurai: Hey Sakurai here, ready to get this story started!

Kazuki: hey. I'm Kazuki and I'll be this story's idea consultant and also chief editor.

Sakurai: this story was written in honor of a truly great man… Killua Zoldeyk! Give a round of applause everybody!

Kazuki: *clapping* yes Killua is truly the best character I have seen in any manga or anime.

Sakurai: He has the power to make you love a shounen series even though you are a shoujo fan!

Kazuki: you're just talking about yourself here…

Sakurai: Well I AM a very important person after all.

Kazuki: *sighs* sure sure. Sakurai does not own HxH or any of the characters except for Riku. She owns Riku.

Sakurai: You make it sound kinda dirty… Aww whatever! Fanfiction story writing powers, ACTIVATE!

Killua's PoV

I stood in front of an extravagant penthouse apartment door, wondering why on earth I accepted this job in the first place. I'm definitely not cut out to be a bodyguard, but since the price of chocolate robots went up and my cash supply went down, it'll have to do.

I wasn't here alone, though my companions weren't my favorite people in the world: The crazy old man Reyolio (Leorio) and the walking encyclopedia Kurapika.

If you are wondering what the hell is going on here then this may clear it up a bit.

Recap

Killua's PoV

"Ne, Killua? What do you think the hunter organization wants to talk to us about?" said my innocent, idiotic, spiky-haired best friend Gon as we walked down a long hallway.

"I don't know, maybe they want to kill me or something?" I responded with a shrug.

Gon laughed nervously. "You have a strange sense of humor, Killua. Maybe they just want to chat and have some tea?" We turned a corner and went down a different hallway.

"Riight…"

We came to the meeting room and went inside. Gon cheered excitedly when he saw our, I mean HIS, two friends sitting on the couch.

"Hey! You guys came too! This is like a Hunter reunion!"

"Only old people would talk about things like reunions." I smirked.

The tall, lazy-looking, black haired man started growling. "I am NOT old!"

"Yes you are. Heck, Reyolio, you're so old that they didn't even have black and white photos when you were a kid."

Smoke started coming out of his ears. "One: I am NOT old. Two: MY NAME ISN'T REYOLIO, ITS LEORIO! LEORIO!"

The calm blond boy on the couch got up and hit us both on the head.

"Oww! Kurapika! What did I ever do to you?"

"You were annoying me. Old man." Kurapika's response only made Leorio angrier.

"Both of you! If you don't stop calling me old I'm gonna kick both of your-"

"Well, well. I see that you bunch are having fun." Chairman Netero interrupted. Yikes. How does he always manage to appear without me noticing?

We all sat down on the couch quietly, Kurapika and Gon sitting in between Leorio and me to keep us from fighting.

"I have an interesting offer for all of you." Chairman Netero began. "It's a job offer for the four of you, as a group."

"What kind of job?" Gon is impatient as always.

"Actually, it's a body guarding job. This person has been hiring hunters for almost 10 years now, so we'd like to give them as much help as they need."

I shook my head quickly. "No way! I'm not going to bodyguard some snobby rich person! Besides, why can't you get other hunters for this job? Ones that are a bit more suited to something like this?"

"I'd love to get other people but, I'm afraid we've been running short on hunters recently."

"Huuuhh?" Leorio said, or more like moaned. "How can we be running short on hunters?"

"I think I can answer that." No surprise there. Blondie was always coming up with weird knowledge out of the blue. "They were either hired out as bodyguard already or they were killed. Although we won the war against the spiders and destroyed them, many hunters were killed. The war also brought the spiders' power to their attention, making them fear their safety and hired more bodyguards."

Troublesome situation. "So what you're telling me is we're just being used as body guards because there is a shortage in hunters?"

"Pretty much! Do you accept the offer?"

I exchanged glances with the only practical guy among us, Kurapika. I could tell he was thinking the same thing I was thinking: The pay.

Of course, being the miserly man that he was, Leorio was the one to ask.

"How much do we get?"

Chairman Netero pulled out a piece of paper from his shirt pocket and placed it on the table. "I think this will answer your question."

I looked at the paper and saw that it was a check. The zeni this person was willing to pay for a body guard was amazing. Look at all the zeros! (A/N: I'm too lazy to think of a price that would be right to fit this situation so I'll leave it up to your imagination.)

"This will be split among you of course but I still think the number is very convincing, don't you?"

Leorio immediately agreed to work as soon as he saw the check. Kurapika also agreed, saying something about needing to gain experience.

"And this is what we'll get paid? Each month?"

Netero nodded. "We'll do it!" Gon and I said in unison.

"Excellent! But, Gon, are you sure you don't need to help your Aunt Mito?"

"What do you mean?" Gon asked confused.

"I heard that there was a sickness going around the animals and people on Whale Island. The few remaining healthy people are trying to nurse the sick back to health."

"Why didn't anyone tell me? I have to go and help Aunt Mito!"

"I'll go with you too, Gon."

"No no. You a have to stay here and be a body guard. All that chocolate of your costs a lot of money."

"But!"

Chairman Netero scratched his beard. "I heard that the price of a box of chocolate robots went up 200 zeni." (About 2 U.S. dollars.)

"Urg, fine, I'll stay."

"Good boy! Now here is the information about your employer. Gon if you could just wait outside a bit."

Gon left.

Chairman gave us an envelope. Kurapika was the 1st one to read it. By his reaction he didn't like something he saw, or didn't see apparently.

I looked over his shoulder and read the paper.

There were no pictures or information. The only thing written was this:

Name:

First- Riku Last-Shirasai

Female

Then it gave us the address of the place we would all be living in. Great I had to stay in the house as some crazy old lady. She could be a grandma for all I know! And I have to protect her too.

End of very long Recap

The three of us, still standing in front of the penthouse apartment door, were gathering all our thoughts before we met our new employer.

Since there was no doorbell, Kurapika knocked gently on the door. No answer. He knocked a bit harder. We waited. No answer. Was this lady seriously not home?

He knocked a third time, this time very loudly.

Then we heard a voice come from inside.

"Come in!" It said.

Strange. This voice was much higher pitched than what I thought an old lady's voice should sound like.

Sakurai: Tada! All done with chapter 1. Sorry if it was boring, but I had to get all that in so the rest of the story wouldn't be too confusing.

Kazuki: I thought it was very entertaining and informative.

Sakurai: Ugh, you're beginning to sound like Kurapika

Kurapika: How does he sound like me?

Sakurai: I guess its okay. After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Kurapika: Actually imitation is something repeated or copied from the original. There is nothing sincere about it.

Kazuki: I'm definitely NOT copying him anymore.

Sakurai: Okaayy… so anyway, please review and tell me what you think.
