Chapter 4

"SEE YOU LATER KURA-CHAN!"

As the back of his companions slowly disappeared, he shifted his attention on the cheery girl with the same silver-hair who was waving her hand cheerfully.

"Drop that attitude now. We are alone." He said as he spooned a part of sundae and put it on his mouth.

The girl looked at him confusedly. Slowly she sat, eyes covered with bangs. And when she looked up her expression changed into a mocking one, smirk crossed her lips. "What's wrong, Killua-chan?" The cheery tone was gone and replaced by a taunt one.

The one who called Killua gritted his teeth. "Don't play dumb Mayllu. Why are you here?"

Mayllu crossed her legs as she put her elbow on table and leaned closer to him. "I already told about it. I'm here for my fiancé."

"Don't play around Mayllu!" Killua yelled as he slammed the table when he suddenly got up from his position. Murmur spread around them as they gain the others' attention. "What is your real plan?"

He won't let this pass easily. The target is his friend. And the enemy… is dangerous.

Mayllu Zaoldyeck, only child of Goldva Zaoldyeck, his father's brother. She's a totally brat as everything she requested was given to her by her father, even their grandfather, reasoning she's the only girl. She was living on the other side of Kukuru Mountain. And Killua only saw her when there's a family meeting. She wasn't close to his family and he is the only one she was talking, or rather his brothers never talks to her.

She was always acting normal, like a sweet, cheery, high school student, hiding her wily side. Mayllu, like the other Zaoldyeck kids was trained at a young age, became a professional assassin and killed many people. But most of the people she killed were due to her self interest.

"Kurapika is a human. He is not a thing that you will get and thrown away once he didn't entertain you anymore. And you know Kurapika doesn't like you."

"Who cares? I want him… that's all matter."

"Mayllu! If you don't stop this–" Killua's tone low dangerously, hissing.

"What will you do?" She asked as she finally opened her eyes. She also stood and matched his glare. "Are you going to fight me? Fine. You only give me a reason to kill someone from the main family. You are just giving what I want."

Killua balled his hand into fist. He must control his self. She was just annoying him.

"I want Kurapika and you know I get whatever I want… and," she paused as she looked at him in a taunt manner, "If someone tried to stop me… I just simply kill him." She stood firmly and crossed her arms around her torso. "Only 'death' waits whoever gets in my way."

The sun rays were passing through the river which made the water shimmered. Blue sky shaded with clouds was clearly reflected on that river. The image was beautiful but it quickly shattered as a stone was thrown over there. Riffles formed and disturbed the peaceful part of nature.

A deep sigh heard from riverbank. A teen with silver hair leaned his arm on a rail and rested his chin there. His eyes narrowed, thinking of a way to get rid of the irritation he feels, but failed.

Killua remembered once more the conversation he had with Mayllu. His cousin is persistent about Kurapika and there is no way she will listen to someone like him who came from the main family. She may listen to their grandfather but there's no way he will ask help to him, besides this matter is nothing for Zeno.

A sigh came out again from his mouth as he threw another stone on the river. He needs to find a way to stop Mayllu and save Kurapika from her. He didn't want to endanger any of his friends anymore from his family.

"Excuse me?"

Killua turned his head where the feminine voice came. He saw a girl in creamy coat and black boots, holding a red umbrella, has turquoise eyes and pink hair.

Wait… pink?

"Yes?"

The girl slightly bowed her head. He noticed the nervousness she felt. "You are… Kurapika's friend, right?"

Killua blinked.

))cm21((

Pink… pink… pink… why this 'pink' bothering me? Killua thought annoyingly. The pink word keeps popping in his mind yet he didn't know why.

He sipped his chocolate drink as he eyed the girl in front of him who was toying the glass of her dink, inside a café.

Pink...

"So you're Neon Nostrad, ex-employer of Kurapika." The girl nodded as she gazed at him. "So what do you want from him?"

Killua noticed the girl slightly taken aback from his question. Funny, the girl was acting somehow timid. If he remembered correctly Senritsu said Neon was a spoiled brat, loud and cheery. So he was wondering if this is the real Neon.

Pink…

"I'm just… wondering how is he?"

Pink…

"He's fine. Nothing really changes about him. Still the stubborn guy I think."

Pink…

"Really? I think he is happy now… Happy with his girlfriend."

Pink…

"Kurapika doesn't have a girlfriend."

Pink… Oh! Darn! If this pink word didn't leave his mind he will go insane. If only he was not talking to this girl with pink hair he will pull his hair now.

"But… I saw him with a girl last night with silver hair."

"Mayllu? Pftt… She is not his girlfriend. She's just an annoying brat."

The silver-haired boy noticed the expression of his companion brightened. A small smile crossed her lips. "Really?" she asked, an unknown life that lost in her eyes came back.

Killua nodded. What is with this girl? She's acting weird.

Wait… last night… pink hair… girl… Oh! Why didn't he think it earlier? The girl Mayllu was talking about last night… it could be Neon Nostrad?

A mischievous smile played on Killua's lips. A naughty idea was formed in his mind. Why not? If this could solve his problem and helps Kurapika, then why not?

"Hey Neon, can I have your number?"

))cm21((

"KURA-CHAN! Are you excited?"

"Ahmmm… Kind of…"

"Me… I'm so excited because I'm with you for whole week!"

Kurapika only smiled nervously as he thought about what the girl who was clinging on him said. Thanks to Killua who decided to take a vacation with them for whole week in a beach. He even rented a villa for them. Really what was he thinking? Yes, Kurapika wanted to relax with his friends, but with Mayllu around? Oh! Goodluck for him.

"Where's Killua? He is taking long," Leorio asked, putting the luggage on the trunk of the car.

"He said to wait, he went out to fetch someone," Gon answered.

"Who? His girlfriend?" Mayllu said teasingly.

"I don't know. He didn't say anything to me."

"Hey! Sorry I'm late," someone said and they all looked at the direction where the voice came and saw Killua walking side by side with a girl wearing a light blue dress, sandals and big summer hat. She has a turquoise irises and pink hair. Kurapika's eyes widened while Mayllu's narrowed.

"Who is she Killua?" Leorio asked with a big grin.

"Ahh… This is my friend, Neon Nostrad."

And the clash will begin… hahahaha!
