Here's Chapter two: A Visit To The Arcade


A high apartment complex wasn't very expensive. Being a hunter paid quite a lot. They had a lot of money from the Heavens Arena. While they had spent a lot of money on auctions, They had enough to rent an apartment. It was quite nice, with the spacious rooms, luxurious bathrooms, and amazing views, It was quite under priced.

After the landlord had seen their hunter license, the price suddenly plummeted. Being a hunter certainly had a lot of merits.

It was such a shame though. With the new job, they barely spent any time inside. While it's true that hunters were usually active, with a lot of wanted criminals, the quite useless police and the quick money that you can make from catching a couple of amateurs, Hunters were constantly busy.

However, Killua and Gon didn't do those kinds of jobs often. Gon became a hunter so he can find his father, and Killua became a hunter because - well he didn't exactly know - but who cares.

Killua and Gon had completed Greed Island when a letter with inane suggestions was delivered to them. Apparently, due to Netero being the chairman of the hunter association, you couldn't exactly turn down a request he had for you. So, Killua and Gon had to become teachers at Kunugigaoka Junior High, who was currently being tutored by the proclaimed "alien who wished for the earth's destruction". Which was silly, because while Killua had to admit the octopus-like creature was certainly threatening, he was overall harmless.

Killua sat on the comfy light coral couch that was quite big, enough to fit a ten or dozen. A laptop sat on his lap while a vanilla bunny shaped lollipop occupied his mouth. The wrapper sat next to him on the couch. He was currently searching through the Hunter site for information on the Phantom Troupe to know what they're up to.

After the whole Auction incident, the Phantom Troupe was clearly trying not to draw attention to itself, with only minor robberies reported with their name.

Killua took the wrapping paper and crumbled it into a small ball and threw it in the trash can's direction. The trash can safely caught the crumbled wrapper.

Regardless of the Phantom Troupe's non-movements, Killua was in a fairly good mood. The reason for it would be one Akabane Karma. One of Killua's proclaimed students. Honestly speaking, Killua had taken a liking to him. He was cheeky, mischievous and reminded Killua of himself a couple of years ago. He's also quite arrogant, constantly bragging about his abilities and downplaying Killua's.

The classes weren't as boring as he thought. They had shown a lot of promise, being able to easily climb mountains and have amazing reflexes, not as amazing as Gon's reflexes and mountain climbing, but it was still promising (It was certainly the talent that Hisoka would be interested in, but that definitely wasn't something to aim for).

The door made an opening noise and footsteps were heard. Killua rushed excitedly towards the door, to see Gon holding a groceries bag. Gon handed him the bag while Killua mumbled quick 'Thank you.'

Killua tore the bag and grabbed one ChocoRobo that he asked Gon to get. "Converting Jenny to Yen was hard, I couldn't find any Currency Exchange Companies anywhere. Jenny is similar to Yen though. 150 Jenny is about 190 Yen so there is just a simple 40 Yen difference."

"Hmm, But I wonder why this area uses a different currency?" Killua wondered out-loud.

His out-loud thoughts were followed by Gon's growling stomach. Gon blushed slightly in embarrassment. Killua smiled slightly,"Why don't we go get lunch? Also, I want to stop by the arcade a bit. I haven't been there in forever."

"Agreed!" Gon yelled excitedly as Killua grabbed his wallet containing his Hunter License and both went out the door, closing it, activating the lock system.


The arcade wasn't too far away. It was just a five minutes walk from their apartment to it. The streets weren't busy either, which was weird considering it was a Saturday.

Killua's skateboard rolled smoothly against the roads, which had been tamed. Gon ran next to him as they headed to the arcade. Their attention was caught by a crowd of masses, who were mostly gathered around a sizeable fountain.

"How 're you gonna apologize, grandpa?" a vulgar voice mocked, his tanned skin grabbing the collar of an unexpecting old well-dressed man. His companions behind him snickered. "Yer wife over there bumped int' me without even lookin' back. You must 'ave some cash." The old man whimpered, his wife cowering behind him in fear.

It happened in a flash.

The vulgar man was flipped on the ground, the two boys standing above him. His companions looked in shock, their jaws on the floor; they didn't even understand what happened. Their shock soon turned into a scowl on their faces, as they prepared to beat the kids. The two young hunters didn't even save them time to move, immediately attacking, as their opponents ended up on the floor. The old man and his wife sighed shakily in relief before they addressed the boys. "Thank you! How can we ever repay you?!"

Killua and Gon looked at him; Gon replying first, waving his hands in front of him. "You really don't need to! We just did what was right." Beside him, Killua smiled.

"No no!" The man gestured to his wife as she took out her wallet and gave her husband money. Gon and Killua shared worried glances. By the time the man turned with the money clutched in his hand, the two boys were already gone.


The arcade was Karma's paradise. Mostly because he excelled at almost every game, but part of it was that he was free from everything and everyone there. He could play without holding back his strength.

But honestly, he was getting a little bored of this place. He decided to call a couple of guys from 3-E. He also considered calling Killua and Gon but decided against it.

Karma's favorite game would have to be Darts. He enjoyed throwing darts against the board, scoring points. Besides, Karma noticed that playing Darts helped him with his gun aiming.

Karma entered the arcade with his usual uniform and his hands in his pockets and headed towards the Darts' boards' rooms. Darts board machines were usually placed in a room next to the entrance.

The room was similar to a karaoke one. It was very big. There were about 3 Dart machines placed on the white walls with space between each one. There were also a tennis table and air hockey table. A pair occupied the table tennis and another the air hockey one.

There was a seemingly drunk couple playing Darts with one of the machines. The smell of alcohol reached Karma from the room entrance.

Oi Oi, This isn't a bar...

Karma decided to ignore them and took the Darts machine farthest to them. Though with 3 machines, there wasn't much space.

He neared the machine and set the level to hard; a level that consists of the board moving clock-wise and it's much harder if the board is moving. The hard level also has levels. Slow, Fast and Super-speed.

He picked the Fast level and the 'Game Start' flashed on his screen as he moved backward, giving the distance between him and the screen and threw the first dart.

It may come as a surprise, but Karma doesn't like rules. They restrict the fun factor of a game. However, pros have to follow rules. Karma had deemed himself a pro at Darts.

Oh, how wrong he was.


Killua mastered Darts when he was six years old. It was part of his 'early training'. It had been quite easy compared to the time his father dropped him off at Heavens Arena. Much easier.

Even after he stopped playing the game since his father deemed it 'unnecessary to play after you mastered it', He never actually stopped loving it. It was one of his favorite arcade games.

That's why, when he arrived at the arcade, he headed straight to the arcade room. When he and Gon went inside, the first thing he thought was, Gosh, there's a very strong stink here! Apparently, Gon had the same thought.

"This smell," Gon stated,"It's the smell of alcohol."

"Now that I think about it, you're right. It does smell like alcohol."

"I bet It's those two." Gon pointed at a clearly drunk couple in front of one of the machines. There were 3 machines. One was occupied by the drunk couple and the other was occupied by -

"Akabane?!"


A/N: This chapters a bit boring/short and I'm sorry but I am still hesitant about where to take this. I have a bunch of ideas and I'm not sure where to fit them. I'm pretty sure I'll update in a couple of days but on the fifth of February, spring break is over so yeah... I hope I'll be able to update soon. And if I don't, don't panic. I'm probably studying or something. 7th grade is hard... Anyway please review, it inspires me and criticism is okay since I'm striving to become better.
