CHAPTER 9: Eyes x Stars x Compromise
Dear Mito-san,
Did you know? The first thing I did when I landed was to play with dolphins and whales and have them throw me a few kilometres into the surface? It was wicked fun, and I even met someone I think I knew before. It was actually regarding that person… this letter.
I just want you to know I'm in the adjacent continent now, on my way to the place he lives in now. Sorry I got delayed, but I think I'll lose sleep if I didn't do this.
See you soon! And I miss you all so much.
Love,
Gon
P.S. I learned how to use the bow and arrow. It's cool. Now I can use three weapons.
I still miss my rod, though.
…
WHALE ISLAND
Kurapika drank his coffee as he finished the few amounts of paperwork he brought with him—the sort only he actually could do efficiently. He was an early riser, and he found his productivity is at its highest during that time anyway.
After some time alone with his paper, he was soon joined by the two women. They were up to prepare breakfast. But alas, after strongly going against him helping, they left him alone again.
He continued to stare at his work, even after finishing them, and absent-mindedly sipped his coffee, thinking about the latest of Gon's letter which Mito showed him a little before they slept. Perhaps it was the real reason he was up so early, but he dared not dwell on that right now.
He thought it was more proper to muse about Gon's upcoming birthday. He sighed and stood up to see the two women in the kitchen. "Excuse me…"
"You can't help with the cooking, Kurapika."
"I'm not going to ask." Kurapika said kindly. "I'm here to…, well, ask what Gon would like as a present for her birthday? I'm embarrassed to say I haven't readied anything yet."
"Oh, that's sweet of you Kurapika…" Grandma said as she put some of he vegetables to the pot. "But Gon is never for the presents—she is for the people she celebrated it with." She said and Mito smiled in assent. "Any sort of present was unnecessary."
"I see…" Kurapika said quietly. "Well thank you…" And he turned away. "I'll just go back to my work then…"
"The food will be ready in a few moments~"
"Ah." He said half-heartedly as he sat back down, feeling a little disappointed.
After all, he still couldn't help but feel that itching want to give her something tangible.
…
Somewhere along his reverie, he failed to notice a brave spider lounging around until it was merely a meter away from him. However, he no longer automatically acted to impale the arachnid. Not only was his pen very expensive, it simply wasn't a reflex anymore.
But the he heard something—likely porcelain—crash.
"K-Kurapika?"
He blinked and looked at Mito, and then to the broken plate by her feet, and she looked very surprised. For a moment, Kurapika didn't know why she looked like that. He hadn't even lifted a finger yet.
"D-Did you—your eyes! Did they just turn red?"
Oh.
Mito then froze and cleared her throat, before squinting her eyes as if checking if she was seeing correctly. "I mean… I'm pregnant so I could have—"
"Ah…, don't worry, Mito-san. They did turn red." Kurapika said calmly, closing his eyes, and opening them again to show their original cerulean color. "My clan has that ability." He said, but managing to keep the hidden bitterness well.
However, Mito managed to see through him. Like niece, like aunt. "What's wrong?"
"It's simply a sensitive topic." He said, but rather than veering away from it he realized he didn't really mind sharing it. "I'm the only one of my clan left. They were killed for their eyes." He said, unaware of whatever face he was making. "Right now I'm collection every and each one of what was ours."
There was silence then, before Mito's gentle gape became a smile and she gave him an acknowledging nod. "That sounds like an honorable goal." She said warmly. "I think your family would be happy."
He smiled. "I agree. It's much better than a life seeking revenge." He said and once again Mito nodded in agreement. I have your niece to thank for that,' he wanted to add, but decided against it. He did, however, want to voice out his gratitude to Mito for raising Gon so well.
Somehow his thoughts shifted to upbringing—from Gon's, to his, and then to Killua's. His eyebrows furrowed a little, for many reasons, before turning to look at Mito, and decided to speak of what was bothering him for a while. "Have you told… Illumi-san yet?"
Alas, Kurapika still had a hard time saying that man's name in this context.
Mito blushed a little, but she shook her head in the end. "It's just that I—can we be a hundred percent sure first? I don't want to disturb him in his job for a false alarm…" She said with such nervousness that she had to clear her throat. "Besides… this is something you say in person, right?"
He didn't think of that. He must be losing many variables because of his bias. "You're right." He said. "I'm sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself."
"No, no." Mito reassured with a soft smile. "I think it's cute. It's not often we find young men truly care for things like this." But then her reassuring smile turned to one that somewhat made him nervous. "So…" She said. "What do you think of Gon?"
She should not have asked that as he was drinking his coffee. "Pardon?"
"You know what I'm asking."
"She's a good friend." He said firmly. "And I wish for her happiness."
"Hmn."
"Yes." He repeated, before standing up to pick the plate she dropped. Of course, Mito realized this and pointed at him to order him to stay seated. He did, because Mito was one of the few women he was actually afraid of angering.
But still, Mito was a kind and gentle soul, and he couldn't help but feel mad at Illumi for corrupting her. He thought his eyes probably turned red then.
It felt natural, really, to associate Mito's predicament with Gon's. But at the same time, he knew Killua truly loved Gon. He would rather die than do something that would make things worse for Gon.
Kurapika flinched at the almost-blasphemous thoughts of Illumi showing some level of empathy. It was simply difficult to picture, especially with everything that happened. However, he doubted he'd forget what he did during the Hunter exam.
The hidden second part of the third exam where they had to go through a deadly storm. Kurapika was one of the leaders, and he was the one who ultimately had to drive the boat. But he got into an accident, and it was where Illumi took the helm that saved everyone, and he even bandaged his head.
To be honest, he still found it hard to believe that even happened.
Still—assuming this was the Zoldyck he had known—was it really necessary for him to go to such lengths to keep an eye on Gon? He clearly held a key role in the problems regarding Gon and Killua. Kurapika himself could imagine many different alternatives to that goal. Illumi never actually had to stoop so 'low' to actually interact with his targets to the point of becoming their so-called lovers.
.
Unless…
He looked at Mito, who probably just said something to tease him with Gon again as she replaced the broken plate with a new one. Fortunately, he heard little enough to avoid becoming incoherent, and decided on knowing more about the fiasco right in front of him.
He simply needed to know. If it was for Gon, for Mito, for Killua, or even for himself—he'd think about that later.
"Mito-san…" He said with a serious voice that made her smirk disappear.
"Is it okay for you to tell me how you met Illumi-san?"
…
Meanwhile, back at the Zoldyck estate, Nerys Bloodsworth joined in with the few people who decided to greet the eldest son, Illumi Zoldyck, on his arrival.
It was just her, Kallluto, and Milluki. Usually there wasn't a need for a greeting party, even the small one that this was, but she needed to speak with him and Milluki seemed be there to ask Illumi about something as well. The air between the three assassins was silence, but it was not awkward—silence never was for people of darkness—and they only stared at the door, waiting patiently for it to open.
Nerys, however, began to feel bothered by the the fly hovering around them. It was interestingly not making any sound at all, but she was too annoyed with it that she swore that if it got an inch closer: she'd crush it.
As they stood, Nerys studied one of her fiance's older brothers with her peripheral view of vision. She heard once from Canary that Milluki was an extremely obese kid a few years back, one that came out of the house once every decade.
A funny story it was, apparently, on how that fat kid turned to a skinny one. One day he provoked Killua, who was in a particularly bad mood, and it was said that events unfolded in a way that a very bloodied and determined Milluki came out. He started accepting missions, then, and subsequently got fit.
"What are you looking at?" He said, but neither actually faced each other.
"I'm curious." She said, shrugging. "Do you want to get back at my fiancé for what he did to you?"
I couldn't even if I wanted to. "Not really," Milluki just said. "I actually like being strong."
"That's very mature of you." She said sarcastically. He then wore a smirk that she would love to wipe off his face.
"So says the girl who's desperately trying to seduce her own fiancé."
She found her head finally turning to him and she gaped at him in aghast. Slowly, he also turned his head to look at her and he smugly pointed at his eyes. "I may have become stronger physically, but my head didn't diminish in size." He said and pointed at a fly. It took her a few moments to realize he was asking her to look closer… and when she had, she realized when she squinted that it wasn't made of organic matter—It was of metal.
Milluki gave a satisfied smirk at her reaction."I have eyes everywhere."
The door creaking pulled their attentions back to the door, and as expected Illumi came in. What they did not expect, however, was how short his hair was now and that he put on some bangs. He looked so much younger.
"Whoa! Reminds me of your teenage years." Milluki said excited but monotonous at the same time, before demandingly extending his hand. "Where is it?"
"Here." Illumi handed him a metal box the size of his palm.
"Thanks." And Milluki turned and went to his room. Nerys shrugged at the utter lack of affection and smiled sweetly at her future brother-in-law.
"Hello Illumi-niisan~"
"Nerys."
"Not bad…" Kalluto mumbled with that cute little voice of hi—hers. But as always, the youngest Zoldyck was straight to the point. "Father wants to see you."
"Okay."
And like Milluki, Kalluto also turned to go to do her own matters, leaving Nerys alone with the emotionless raven-haired man. He walked towards the master's hall and Nerys walked with him. He didn't look at her once, so she assumed he didn't really mind.
"Illumi-nii…" She began sweetly as they walked. "You're aware that Gon's actually alive, right?"
His steps paused and he turned his head very slightly stared at her with those trademark dark eyes of his. If she hadn't seen Killua's murderous glare so many times she would have shivered. Still, he did not say anything and continued on his way.
Nerys, however, did not move, but her posture emanated confidence. "She showed up in front of Killua, you know." She said and, once again, he paused his movements.
But this time? He faced her for real.
This look made her shiver like hell.
…
Around the same time, below the foot of the mountain where the towering estate stood, was a village famed for its proximity to the said domain. Thus, it was not surprising that there was never a lack of hunters (or rather people who claim to be hunters) lounging around. The stays were particularly lengthy because these so-called hunters tended to delay their trip in the disguise of 'getting ready' when they really (according to shopkeepers) simply hadn't gathered enough courage to attack.
Most of them never did.
Gon, on the other hand, ended up hanging around the village (the archery range, to be exact) because her feet didn't want to move further. As a person who had a tendency to just jump into action, she found these moments where she was simply so reluctant to move particularly special.
She had spoken with quite a few people and she had learned a lot about them: their families, their jobs, and of course the source of the economical flow of tourists. But above all she learned about the reason why there was so many tourists in the area in the first place.
The more she learned about the Zoldycks the more she realized that she wasn't afraid. It wasn't that she thought they were weaker—it certainly wasn't that, but there was an odd sense of security that kept making her think she'd survive.
"Archery helps you clear your head, I see." An old man—a really old man—like, half-her-height-because-of-age-old—approached her as she shot arrows in the town's archery range. She had been competing with a few men when she arrived there, but for some reason they lost their moods a several minutes after. "Your focus is impressive."
"Thank you." She said. "I had a great instructor."
"How long have you been doing this? Two, three years?"
"Just a few days ago…"
"…oh." The small man gave her a toothless grin. "That's what I thought." Before laughing whole-heartedly and kind of reminds her of Netero, only this was a much more wheezy laugh. But, interestingly, it was no less bright. Old people had similar laughs, she thought.
"Maybe I know your instructor."
She tilted her head a little by habit. "His name is Hajime-san from that town by the sea."
"Hajime?!" He said and even though he was feigning it Gon had no idea. "Him?"
"You know him?"
"Yeah. He's the second cousin of my sister's husband." He said proudly. "And a good friend of mine. Small world." He said, and paused.
"I'm kidding, of course."
"Eh?" Gon blinked. "About the world being small?"
"About Hajime. Never heard of him until recently." The man's eyes seemed to have gotten sharper as he said that. "You… by some chance… didn't happen to be the hunter who pacified the infamous beast? Ho-ho."
"Well it's not exactly pacified… but we made a compromise."
"That's impressive." He said as he looked around.
"Do you live here, ossan?"
"Oh, where were my manners." He said with that cracky and silent tone of voice. "My name is Maha."
"Maha-ossan." She repeated, and stared afterwards waiting for his reply.
"No, I live nearby." "I do walk around to pass the time." He said and lifted his small feet and bent them in air, to show his leg strength. "I'm much stronger than I seem."
"I can tell."
"Can you?" Gon batted her eyelids at the tone, startled, and for a moment there she thought he'd give out a burst of aura. However, all he did was to give a chuckle.
"Nice meeting you Gon-chan." He said and waved his hand, leaving her alone in the archery range again.
But then, just as she was about to launch another arrow… she finally realized something.
Did she ever mention her name?
…
Gon found herself wondering about the old man for the hour that followed. There was something very enigmatic about him, but with her head—she just couldn't do much with enigmas, especially with the mysteries her head was already drowning in.
She did not realize nighttime arrived and she ended up gazing at the stars. There was something so ultimately beautiful about the sky lit only by the heavens and—like staring at the cerulean morning sky—she felt at peace.
Her eyes slowly began to close and she did nothing to stop the lethargy. Soon, she completely slipped into a state of slumber.
But she woke up a moment later (or at least that was how it felt like) and sat up, feeling a warm sensation on her lips—making her fingers touch it involuntarily. But at that same moment she felt a presence nearby and used 'En' by reflex. Within a second she already had several meters radius around her and it was getting bigger. It stopped when she sensed him, standing firmly not too far away.
Killua
"Hey." He said not looking her direction. He was scratching the back of his head, and for a moment Gon forgot the cold Killua who pushed her away. Unaware that he was avoiding her gaze, she thought he tilted his head up to look at the sky.
"You like looking at the stars, too?"
He blinked and reluctantly turned his head to look at her. "…yeah."
"Join me."
"No thanks." He said almost immediately and it made her frown. "Gon. There's something important we have to talk about."
Silently, she wondered what was different when he called out her name. It just sounded… better. But, afraid of making their conversation turn for the worst, she didn't say so out loud. Instead, she patted the patch of grass beside her. "Sit."
He only stared at her for a while, probably hoping she was joking, but she only stared back in response. After moments of silence, he finally sighed in defeat and sat in the meadow with her. He kept a safe distance of two meters, however, and Gon couldn't help but wonder why he kept putting up such a thick wall.
Killua on the other hand was a lot more guarded—he had to, after what he did less than a minute prior. What was he thinking? he asked himself, but could only think of stupid answers.
When Killua arrived there an hour prior, after hours of trying to find her without using the alarming technique of En, things became even fuzzier. He almost didn't go there, having the gut feeling of one of his family members being in the spot, but his instincts also told him to go anyway.
He was at the time undergoing internal turmoil as he searched—worsened by unspeakable humiliation, shame, and remorse—that he'd do anything to escape, and seeing her peaceful form on the grass he just decided to stay. After all, he trained with her in Greed Island—when she was honing her senses while sleeping—so he knew how to bypass it.
But then his feet moved on his own, and he found himself standing by her. And then—
His eyes once again gravitated towards her lips.
Shit
The fact that the feel of her lips on his still lingered. He had been dreaming of it for so long, but it felt like he forgot the feeling of kissing someone you loved. He wasn't going to lie—he wanted more.
She stood up to face him. "I assume you're going to tell me the truth, then?"
What truth?
"We do know each other, right?"
Oh
He pulled himself back and stood up as well. Focus, Killua, he told himself, before adopting his frigid façade to compose himself enough to be able to look at her in the eyes. "I came to warn you about what you're doing." He said coolly, but he was internally fretting at how often his moods were shifting so suspiciously. "You're going to put a lot of people's lives in danger."
"I still don't—" She stopped herself. "I have to know." She said, her body unconsciously turning to face him. He leaned away by reflex, as if the two meters he put between them was no longer safe.
"Why are you so determined?"
She stared at him for a while, looking as confused as she was when he asked her why she kept repeating his name. But in the end, she shrugged. "I don't know. I just felt something missing, and I felt I should find it." His eyes widened. And looked at him, deeply into his eyes. "I think you have something to do with it."
He didn't realize when the distance between them suddenly went from two meters to a few inches, but it happened. He looked down on her—she was so petite—but he kept his cold glare. "Stop making me look like I'm someone… soft."
"Well, you are a liar." She said, looking back at him, her golden eyes shining bright with defiance. Kami—how difficult she was making this conversation. Particularly to him, physically. He had to put his hands in his pockets to keep them from doing something he'd regret.
Gon, oblivious, decided to egg him on further. "So… I assume you are soft."
He wanted to pull her to him, but all he did in the end was let out a sigh of exasperation. "This conversation is going nowhere." He said, turning away as quickly as he could. "It's pointless speaking to you." He said, half thankful it sounded like a snap. "I'm leaving."
"Don't—"
And the next thing he knew her arms were already around his torso. He would've been reminded of all those years ago—when she did something similar, if his brain wasn't malfunctioning, and all he could hear was his heart.
It was embarrassing: How loud his heart was probably beating.
Gon realized what she did, however—too soon—and she let go, taking a few steps away. "I-I'm sorry." She said. "I don't know what came over me."
He didn't turn around, then, but he was surprised by what he said next. "We were acquaintances, once." He said, murmuring. "G-Good friends." His mouth made a thin line then, cursing how the words just escaped it.
And… how long had it been since he stuttered?
There was silence for a while, and yet he could see Gon's shocked gaze like it was the back of his hand. "I-I knew it!"
"But it doesn't mean we still are." He blurted out again.
At that point he had already stopped trying to control his mouth. He knew when a conversation with Gon became a lost cause. "I had my duties to my family and you were holding me back, so they made you forget."
"But not you?"
"Trust me." "You could do a lot of things if you remembered." He said, recalling the first time she rescued him from his family. It would've been a fond memory, if only that memory of seeing her die didn't make the memory similarly painful.
"Do they have to do something so drastic?"
"Yes, no doubt about it." He said immediately. "But if you swear not to come near the estate again…, or ask around about my family, then maybe we can be… of speaking terms... again." The last words came out as whispers, but he knew how strong Gon's hearing was. He both thanked and cursed it.
Still, she didn't respond then. "Please turn around. I want to speak with you directly." She said. "Please."
Moments passed by as he tried to gather his thoughts. It never came but, afraid she'd do something that could make his heart stop for good, he reluctantly turned around anyway. She met her beautiful and large eyes again, but the seriousness in them made his chest skip another beat. Again.
"We weren't just acquaintances, we we? We were friends." She stated with such certainty that it made his eyes widen. It seemed that it was a reaction she waited for because she lowered her head apologetically the instant she saw it.
"I'm so sorry." She said with such vehemence that it made her voice croak a little. "Whatever I did to destroy our friendship, I'm willing to—"
"Stop it!" It's not like that at all!
She whipped her head up in surprise, because she didn't expect the apathetic-looking Killua to shout. She caught his eyes soften considerably when their eyes met and, as if realizing this, he turned away. "Six years ago…," he said quietly. "You went to my estate and took me away." He said. "That's the biggest 'sin' you committed: Take me away from a place I didn't want to be."
He gulped and knew he was giving out an expression that he hadn't worn in years. "Gon, I—"
It was then he felt something approaching them—approaching Gon. It was travelling too quickly and two meters seemed so far away all of a sudden. But then she caught it, right in the middle of her fingers.
"A needle?"
He whipped his head to the direction it was from, his sharp eyes showed the terror he was feeling. But he felt no presence there, and he realized that Illumi left as soon as he threw it. What was he planning to do? To erase this encounter? But for what?
His brother's older words passed by his head, as if to answer his questions.
You two believe that you can't live without the other, he once told him. How foolish.
He thought they wouldn't be able to keep away from each other now that they've made contact? But then why would he leave so quickly? Was he so confident it would make the hit?
No, he surmised as soon as he thought the opposite. It was a warning.
His head tilted down unconsciously and his sights darkened. Seeing even a millisecond of what just happened made him feel as if he just jumped into frigid cold water, body and soul bare, and describing it as painful was an understatement.
He hurriedly turned away again. "I have to go."
"Eh?" She exclaimed and he caught her arms moving through his peripheral vision, and he avoided being held again. "But—"
"We knew each other once," Killua confirmed, slowly resuming to his monotonous tone of voice. "We were friends…, once." He repeated, but more to himself than to her. "But please don't push this issue anymore Gon."
"What if I refuse?"
"Then you will die… along with Kurapika, Leorio, Mito-san, and many others." He said, his cold eyes staring penetratingly at her shocked ones. "That's why—like I said, you should just leave us be." She was facing his back before he finished.
"Move on, Gon."
But Killua didn't bother to wait for her response, and he just disappeared like he was never even there.
And so…, once again, Killua Zoldyck left her feeling like she was the loneliest person on the planet.
