So it's past the 15th, which means is finally allowing me to post however many fics I want per day and while at first I wanted to post all of my fics on ao3 over onto all at once, I think I'll just stick to my "post two fics per day" plan. Oh, and since I explained it to everyone over on ao3, it's only fair that I offer an explanation to everyone here on , too. So in this AU, Yoruichi is Canary's cousin not by blood but purely through adoption. Canary just calls her "auntie", though. Kaname Tosen is also Canary's adoptive father.

"Alluka and Killua are giving me a ride to school, auntie."

Yoruichi looked up from her phone to give her niece a smile. "Okay. Have a good day at school, kiddo."

Canary gave the woman a quick peck on the cheek, grabbing her lunch sack as she made her way out the kitchen and right out the front door. She smiled. It was a nice day out.

"Alluka's friend finally decided to grace us with her presence, Gotoh!" Canary heard a familiar voice exclaim.

Canary looked over at the limousine parked next door, the ever smug Killua Zoldyck leaning on the vehicle as he stared over at her, a smirk on his face. Canary watched him push himself up off the car before saying, "You can start the car now, Gotoh!"

Canary scoffed, rolling her eyes as she walked over to the car.

Killua held the back door open for the girl, smirk still in place. He gave her a bow of mock politeness. "M'lady."

Canary rolled her eyes once more as she crouched down into the car. She flashed Alluka a friendly smile as she shrugged off her bag. "Good morning."

"Good morning!" Alluka chirped, smiling sweetly at Canary.

"Good morning, Mr. Gotoh," Canary said, smiling politely into the rearview mirror.

Gotoh was still aware of Canary looking at him through the rearview mirror, despite his attention being on the road. "Good morning, Miss Canary."

"Hey, how come I didn't get a "Good morning"?" Killua said, feigning hurt.

Canary smirked. "Well, my mornings are significantly less good when I see your face." Her smirk widened when Alluka let out a giggle. "But ya know what, let me count my blessings. After all, imagine how my mornings would be if I had to wake up to the sight of your face every morning."

"We all know that deep down you'd like that," Killua snarked back.

Alluka gazed out the window as her friend and older brother continued trading snide remarks, a calm smile on her face. She recalled Gon jokingly saying that they should bet on how long it'd take for Killua and Canary to admit they liked each other. Maybe she'd take him up on his offer.
