Here We Are! Sun, Sand and Monsters?
Me: Well, well, well. People, I am so happy with my work. I just want to thank my readers who took the time to read my story. It means a lot.
Killua: Thanks Hizako for your kind review. I guess you're lookin' forward to more chaps.
Kurapika: Arigatou for your comment. It means the world for the author.
Me: I think the next four chapters will be some of the best because there will be lots of fluff! I don't know what does hunterxhunter and fluff have in common, but oh well.
Gon: This is going to be exciting!
Kurapika: lookalike5516 doesn't own hunterxhunter or any of its characters or places.
Killua: her stuff is fraud so don't look up to her too much.
Me: Killua, what did you say? (threatening voice)
Killua, Kurapika and Gon: (gulp)
Killua: ON TO THE STORY!
Killua's POV
Horuka, Gon and I were waiting at the airport waiting for Kurapika and Yuki. The two were arriving shortly, so we decided to wait for them. Gon fiddled with a free puzzle toy thingy he got from a man who was giving out free stuff. Horuka and I were playing chopsticks (you know, the game with your fingers). I hit one of Horuka's fingers to add up the total of four on her hand. I was beginning to get bored of the game and judging by her face, Horuka was agitated about her boredom and how Kurapika was growing late. Seriously? What does that girl see in him? Kurapika's no different me and Gon, well he might be stronger I guess.
When a bell sounded, we discovered it signaled the landing of Kurapika's aircraft. The three of us quickly grabbed our bags and raced to the arrival gate. We stood before it waiting for our blonde haired friend and his 'girlfriend' to step out. Kurapika and Yuki stepped out through the gate and were murderously hugged by Gon. Horuka stood beside me. She wasn't going to go hug him? That wasn't something you saw every day. I gripped her shoulder and tightened it. I gave her a reassuring smile and she was glad to see me giving her some comfort.
Kurapika steppe over to us. He introduced us to Yuki. The last time we met her, it was a vague moment and we didn't even stay as a group long enough for us to get to know one another.
"So? Are you a geek like Kurapika?" I asked casually.
Kurapika sweat dropped and Yuki shook her head. "Apparently Kurapika's too smart for me. Lots of people are too smart for me." She mumbled.
I noticed how Yuki was shy around other people. "Well, nice to meet you. I'm Killua and this is Gon and Horuka." The two grinned when I introduced them.
"You're one of the remaining Kurtas?" Gon asked.
Yuki nodded weakly while biting onto her lip. "Oh, do you not wanna talk about it?" Gon said, he was ashamed of bringing back a painful memory.
Yuki closed her eyes and then reopened them. "What's in the past is in the past. I'm focusing on today, and that's getting my revenge." She smiled.
"That sounds an awful lot like referring back to the past." Horuka and I said in a monotone voice.
"Come on! I want to take you to aunt Mito's house. I want to show you guys my home!" Gon cheered. He ran ahead of everybody, but they soon caught up to him. It was beautiful, Whale Island. Clear seas with a few docks and several boats. Thick forests with wild noises pouring out. Bright skies that didn't seem to rain for a long time and sweet aromas in different directions.
Gon headed for a hillside cottage that was rather at a highpoint. Kurapika and I loved the feeling of the place but Yuki and Horuka were getting used to the new environment. Horuka, as she tells me, has been locked up in her house for years, so she hasn't seen anything like this.
Kurapika then remembered something about Yuki. I think it had something to do with her running slowly. He stopped and picked Yuki up and placed her on his back. Yuki smiled at the boy and he was just happy to have her on his back. Horuka looked away from the two. She was blushing madly. But, her eyes were agitated. She was jealous. Somehow, now I felt something cooking in my stomach which really hurt. It felt painful, but it was also something that made me feel, what's the word, yeah that's it! Jealous! I felt jealous. It felt weird admitting it to myself, but it was true.
I looked at Horuka, she began to speed up to get away from the rest of us. Eventually, she snapped and raced all the way to Gon's home. She wouldn't stop. Tears flooded her eyes. I felt an itch to run after her, so I followed that itch and chased after the girl.
"Horuka! Slow down!" I cried.
She was actually very fast. "Damn it Horuka." I muttered speeding up. Eventually, I broke past her speed and stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong with you?" I cried. "Why are you running away?"
She kept her tears running. Gon and the others were still rather distant. "Horuka. I know." I admitted.
"You're in love with Kurapika right?" I asked. My hair covered my eyes and my face went grim.
Her tears stopped for a moment. Her eyes were damp, but tears weren't flowing. "Killua-
"I knew it. Why didn't you tell us?" I growled.
Horuka flinched. "I didn't think you guys would care."
The others were still very distant. I doubt they could hear us. Maybe Gon could, but he's kinda distant, so we'd need to whisper.
"How could you say that Horuka? Weren't we your best friends? Don't we matter to you?" I asked.
She stopped crying and her eyes were averted. "It's not that you don't matter to me, it's that I was scared you guys would make fun of me. Tell Kurapika. Get rejected all over again. He never knew. I don't want him to ever find out." She sniffled.
I cupped her cheeks. "We're not that kind of people. We wouldn't ever do something so heartless. We might kill, but it's not out of cold blood. Listen, we're here for you." He pulled her into a hug as she sobbed. "I'm here for you."
"Killua. Why? Why does it feel so weird when I'm around Kurapika? I feel different from when I'm around you guys. My heart beats faster, I can barely breathe. I can't think straight and my stomach churns when he's with another girl." She sobbed. "Why? Why do I have to feel this way?"
You really are in love Horuka. I just wish, it wasn't with him. I really wished she would just stop loving Kurapika. It just makes me sick. I can't stand to see her eyeing him every second.
Once I released her, Kurapika and the others were here beside us. "Oh, you've stopped crying. That's great Horuka!" Gon chimed.
Horuka's POV
The five of us continued to scale the hill. When we reached it, Mito said she knew we were coming and prepared beforehand. She said she'd cooked us dinner, we just had to wash up and get into our set of clothes.
I walked into a room with Yuki. She was actually very nice. She smiled a lot and listened patiently. She never cut into a sentence and was always kind. Yuki, she was holding back her impatience and cruelty though. So, I guess that made her a liar too. I striped off my dress to replace it with a lacy top (think of amulet spade from shugo chara's lacy top thingy. Just without the sleeves and it's white) with black shorts. Yuki wore a short dress that reached her knees. It was bright blue and had with flower prints in the bottom left hand corner. She also wore some thigh length shorts to avoid seeing her underwear. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and placed a headband in my hair. Yuki didn't bother tying her hair up. She stretched the hair tier and left it on her wrist. She wore a headband as well. Yuki was so pretty. She was sorta heartless too.
"Yuki? Why are you lying to me?" I asked.
The girl turned to face me. "What do you mean?"
I looked into her eyes. "You act nice and always listen. But I don't think you're like that at all."
Yuki smiled. "You might be partially correct. I wouldn't call myself unkind. I can be really nice pretty much all the time, but when it's time to get serious, I'm serious. You're right about me lying too. I lie about my personality. Around Kurapika, I can be normal." She explained.
"So, you're actually very lonely." Yuki nodded.
"They're waiting. Let's go." I said.
We entered the dining hall to find everyone in casual clothing. I walked over to my 'twin'. Everyone took their seats. Killua and I had accidentally reached for food, but quickly put it back to their origins. Once everyone stopped thanking for their food, the mad fest began. I was stuffing potatoes down my throat while eating a leg of ham. Killua used two forks to eat five different cakes at the same time. Gon was carelessly stuffing his mouth with bread and slices of salmon. Kurapika and Yuki lost their appetite just by watching us. When I saw how Kurapika felt awkward by watching them eat, I stopped immediately and sipped tea like a lady. The other two didn't hold back. They continued to carelessly stuff themselves of food and didn't care about their manners. I set my cup down and stood up from the table. An awkward silence was made as I wiped my mouth. "I'm sorry for the sudden disturbance." I apologized. Once my apology was made, I ran out the door. Killua wiped his mouth quickly and chased after me. "Horuka! How long are you going to keep running?" he shouted.
I stopped in my tracks and turned to him. Tears flooded my eyes and I couldn't look at him anymore. "I've had it. He'll never love me. He wants someone beautiful someone perfect! All I am is pieces of junk!" when I finished my sentence, a red stingy feeling crossed my cheek. Killua had slapped me.
Tears ran down his cheek. "How could you say something so horrible?!" He screamed. "We all love you Horuka! I love you damn it! I love you so much it pains me to see you watch only Kurapika! You'll stare at him and have that longing look in your eyes, but when you look at me you're disgusted! God damn it. I'm in love with you Horuka Kaiba! And I just want you to feel the same." He sobbed.
I was in a state of shock. Never once had I thought he was in love with me. I only have one answer for him. "I'm sorry Killua. But, there's only one person on my mind. I'm sorry, but I'll only have eyes for Kurapika. But, I do like you as-
Killua stomped back to the cottage. He had no words for me. I shattered his heart, caused him so much grief.
When I came back, everyone had fallen asleep. Apparently the ride here wasn't very comfortable. Kurapika and Yuki shared a room and Gon had to sleep with his aunt. Killua was on his own. "I'll be sleeping with Killua right?" I asked Mito. She nodded as a reply.
I crept up the stairs and changed into some sleeping clothes. I crept into the bed beside Killua's. It was heavily raining. When a bolt of lightning struck, I sat straight up in fear. So it did rain on Whale Island. Some more lightning struck and I quickly covered myself in blankets. I was terrified of lightning. When I was little, I was tortured by lightning, that made me immune, but the person who controlled the lightning, Kazanumi, scared me more than death. She always tortured me through lightning. Every time I hear lightning, I think of Kazanumi.
I got out of my bed and rolled on the floor for a moment. Eventually, I couldn't take it. I was so scared. I got on my feet and crept into Killua's bed. He was waking slightly. "What the hell are you doing Horuka?" he moaned.
"I'm scared." I whined.
"Go to Kurapika." He groaned.
"But, Killua I need you." I muttered. "Sleeping here with you, is 1000 times better than sleeping with Kurapika."
He groaned. He must've fallen asleep, but his arm wrapped around my waist.
"Killua, if Kurapika gets a girlfriend, you know you'll be my next target. And when that time comes…
I don't plan on giving up.
….
Me: well,the ending wasn't what I expected.
Kurapika: so whos chaps next?
Yuki: ours'!
Killua: (blush)
Horuka: (blush)
Gon: R&R
