2 updates in one week? Wow! I'm on a roll! Awww... thank you to my loyal reviewers! You guys have been with me all the way, even if my story does suck! I love you all!

Edit: 3/27/16 Dang, I made so many mistakes! Wow... I'll be going to fix them now...

Dragonbooks249: Yeah, long time no see! Yup. That's Sayuri's father. What a great dad, right? Killua...? Well, at least his family does care for him... in their own sick twisted way. Yup!

xDFTBAx: It is back! Hmm... you'll have to wait and see. I hope you enjoy this update!


"..." An awkward silence surrounded the four teens that were in the limo. Sayuri and Killua usually held up most of the conversation with their arguing, but now that Sayuri wasn't here, it was quiet. Too quiet. Aki sighed, unable to take this anymore.

"Err... so..." Aki spoke out of the blue.

"What?" Killua growled, looking at her. Aki looked over at him, raising one eyebrow.

"Wow. You're tense. Is it because Sayuri isn't here?" Aki asked. Killua flinched. She observed him and sighed.

'I hit the nail on the head, didn't I?'

"Shut up." Killua glared. Aki smirked at him.

'I so did.'

"It is, isn't it?" Gon looked over curiously.

"Killua, are you okay? You seem mad." Killua snorted and grumbled under his breath. Aki chuckled and shook her head.

"Ah. The advantages of being so naive." Gon tilted his head at her.

"What?" Aki simply reached over Killua and patted Gon's head.

"Gon. Gon, Gon, Gon. Killua here, is simply worried about Sayuri, but he can't show it because he doesn't want anyone to see him losing his cool."

"Shut up." Glare increased tenfold. Aki nodded to herself.

"Is that true, Killua?" Gon looked at his friend. Killua reluctantly stopped glaring to look at Gon. Aki smiled and answered for him.

"It is." Killua opened his mouth to retort.

"Hey... Aki," Kurapika interrupted the two. He had a question in mind. A question everyone probably wondered.

"Yeah?" Both of them turned towards him.

"Are Sayuri's parents always like that?" Aki blanched and looked down at her lap.

'Oh dear. I knew it would come to this sooner or later... I really shouldn't say anything, though. Or would Sayuri want me to?'

"..." Aki said nothing. Killua's attention was hooked.

"Well?" Aki swallowed dryly as she avoided looking at them directly.

"Umm..."

'Should I?'

"Aki-chan?" Even Gon turned to her. The poor girl started to sweat under the intensity of their gazes.

"Err..."

'No. I won't.'

"Come on, just spit it out!" Killua was growing impatient. Aki steeled her gaze and looked him in the eye.

"It's not my place to tell." Killua nearly exploded.

'And there goes the Killua bomb.'

"You're her friend, aren't you?" Killua yelled. Gon looked at the white-haired boy.

"Killua... you're scaring her," Gon said quietly. Killua ignored him.

"Well? Are you or aren't you?" Killua leaned toward her.

"I..." Aki's eyes darted around, looking at anything except the enraged boy.

"Killua! Stop!" Gon started yelling as well.

"Gon, Killua, please calm down." Ahh... Kurapika, always the master of reason. Too bad reason flew out of the car the minute he asked that question.

"Well?" Killua narrowed his eyes at the only girl in the car. Gon started pulling on his friend's shirt.

"Killua!" Gon whined. Aki felt for the poor driver who was hearing all this chaos in the car.

'I am. And so are they. But...'

"Yes." All yelling immediately stopped at the girl's answer. They all turned to hear her response.

"I am her friend. But that's the reason I'm not telling you. If I told you, that would be telling the secret she entrusted with me." Killua frowned.

"Tch. Fine. I'll ask her tomorrow." And the rest of the ride was spent in silence.

Sayuri didn't come to school the next day.

Or the next.

Or the next, for that matter. The teachers didn't care, they were too infatuated with HxH and the students didn't seem to even know who she was.

Aki just grew more and more worried. So did Killua for that matter. Not that he would admit it. Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika just shot glances at where she was supposed to be sitting, but wasn't.


"Gah!" Sayuri nearly threw her phone at the wall in frustration. All she wanted to do was relax for a while, but how could he do that with Killua's voice on every radio station? Being stuck in your own room was so dreary. Nothing to do whatsoever. No TV in the room (She should have taken Haku's suggestion to get one), No electronics except her phone, no new books (She's read each only five hundred times), or even a doll to play with (Well, to be honest, those things scared her with those permanent smiles and never blinking eyes.) If only Aki was here. She could entertain her.

What happened...

"I'll deal with you later and reeducate you," Sayuri mocked. Some reeducating system this was. He didn't even come in to see her or reprimand her or anything!

She was pacing around her room furiously, throwing her arms in the air and letting out frustrated yells occasionally. She stopped at a picture frame. "Mira... I miss you." There were knocks at her door.

"What?" She growled.

"U-u-um... I was ordered by your father to tell you that you won't be going to school for the rest of the week. You will also receive meals in your room and you aren't allowed to have human contact or leave your room for the rest of the week," A weak and timid voice spoke, to her surprise.

Great. Now she felt bad. Was this her bastard of a father's plan? To make her feel guilty for growling at a maid when she thought it was him? Ugh.

"Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else." Hmmm... No human contact for a week? Fine with her. It just means no contact with her father and she could just lay on her bed all day, blasting music.

"I-it's okay..." The voice sounded surprised. Probably because she was apologizing to a maid. Her of all people. The daughter of the great Daiki Haruka. Che. Who cares? Maids probably have it easier anyway. Sayuri flopped down face first on her bed.

"Ughhhhhhhhhh..." She groaned into her pillow.

'THIS SUCKS!'

"Um, miss?" Sayuri waved her hand to dismiss her and then realized that she couldn't see her. She took her face out of the pillow for one second.

"You can go." Her face met the pillow again.

"Yes miss."

Present time...

Ah! She could draw! Sayuri loved to draw. Drawing and writing were her two passions and she usually did them whenever she could.

"Aww... My poor babies! I've been neglecting you!"

And now I'm talking to myself. Great. Maybe a sign of me losing my mind? Nah. I already lost it a long time ago.'

Sayuri laid on her bed thinking. She tapped her pencil against her chin.

'What to draw...? Ah!' Sayuri came up with something. She just let her pencil glide across the paper without really thinking about it.

'Hmm... Aki would be a good thing to draw. We could also have trees in the background, she does love forests, after all. Maybe a stream there?' She thought absentmindedly. She stopped her pencil for one second to look at what she had drawn and blanched. Well, she had drawn Aki and the background, but there was also HxH and music notes all around them. They were even with their signature instruments. Killua, his microphone, Kurapika, his guitar, and Gon, his drums. Leorio was even there, giving a peace sign.

Sayuri immediately closed her sketchbook. 'Well, that's enough of that. How about I write a story?' She took her pencil and opened up her notebook.

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Kaede. She was beautiful and all the men in the country fought for her hand. However, she was very vain and only wanted the best of the best. She had a sister. She was not quite as beautiful as Kaede, but she was much gentler and kinder. One day, a dashing prince named Killua-" Sayuri immediately stopped after that. Her face burned. Why would she write that?

She didn't like Killua, right?

Not that ass.

"Che. Killua? Dashing prince? What was I thinking?"


And that's a wrap! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
