Chapter seven: Bring the kids


Killua was really pissed. He made his way through the crowded sidewalks, taking advantage of anyone who passed by just a little too close and shoving them forcefully aside with his shoulders. How dare Gon hide this from him. Killua had just poured out his soul to Gon, confessing his problems like some immature kid while Gon just listened. What was he thinking?! Gon had far more serious problems than he did. Cancer! And Killua was whining about how he got everything any other kid would dream of. He felt stupid and embarrassed. Gon could have at least told him…

"Killua! Please wait up! I'm sorry, please wait!" Gon shouted, dodging the stumbling people in Killua's wake. "Killua…"

Killua stopped and turned around. Gon was leaning on his knees out of breath just a few yards behind him. Damnit! Now Killua had endangered Gon's health. "I'm sorry." Killua stood in front of Gon hanging his head.

"Killua… I would have told you, but I didn't want you to worry." Gon tried to explain.

"Why not?! How come you can worry about me, but not the other way around?"

"Because…" Gon sighed, "your worrying won't make me better." Killua looked up at Gon, his tone had gotten strangely serious. "Mito, Grany, Dr. Leorio… they all worry about me, and I feel horrible. It's my fault that they have so much stress. But it's not helping anybody. I don't want you to worry."

Killua looked back down to his shoes, suddenly feeling very ashamed.

"I just want to have fun when I'm with you. I don't want you to feel sorry for me."

"Fine… I'll forgive you for not telling me." Gon smiled. "On one condition."

"What is it?"

"Take me to your house, and teach me to fish."

Gon let the grin take over his face. "Okay."


Kurapika and Leorio finished paying their bills and began to go in opposite directions.

"Wait, Leorio, here is my number." Kurapika turned around and handed Leorio a business card.

"Oh, thank you." He pocketed the card. "I guess I'll see you again sometime later…"

Leorio had started to walk away again when he heard Kurapika clear his throat. "Um… did I forget something?"

"Your number?"

"Oh that!" Leorio scrambled to write his number down on a napkin. "I don't have a business card or anything like that… this is my home phone."

"Thank you."

"I'm normally at the hospital a lot, but just leave a message at that number anytime you want to go on another date." Leorio laughed awkwardly.

"So this was a date?" Kurapika asked innocently.

"Uh… err… nothing like that… I'm just kidding. I mean if you would like to go out with me again… ah shoot! I did it again!" Leorio exclaimed getting rather flustered.

Kurapika just laughed and smiled. "Alright, I'll go on another 'date' with you."

Leorio's eyebrows shot up into his hair line.

"If you bring the kids."

With that Kurapika walked off leaving Leorio to stand in shock while the crowd walked hurriedly passed him.

"Hey! Watch it!" some random guy shouted at Leorio as they bumped into each other. Then something clicked. Leorio screamed an excited and over-exaggerated cry of happiness and began to run like a madman down the crowded sidewalk, not caring who he ran over in the process.

He had a date with Kurapika Karuta.
