Recap

Luka dashed towards Rilloh, and punched him in the stomach as hard as she could a second before he went flying back he placed his hand on her developing chest. Luka put a hand on her chest before flushed red like a tomato. She wanted to scream but she knew the others would wonder why. Rilloh lie on the floor for a bit before laughing with a creepy grin on his flushed face. "Yes... Just as thought... Heh... You're a female..."

Luka was speechless "E-Eh?"


Hunter's exam, The tower: Part five


Rilloh sat up with the same grin on his face, "You are a female..."

Luka then punched him in his face angrily. He only laughed. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" Luka yelled.

"I'm... A... masochist..." He moaned.

"A... what?" Luka asked.

"W-What did he say?" Leorio stuttered.

"According to him... Luka's actually a girl." Kurapika said.

"There's no way Luka's a girl. He's way to cruel and girls are more feminine. Besides he doesn't even look like a girl." Leorio said.

'Dammit... Dammit. Dammit! DAMMIT. Why is this happening to me?! At least with my hat on they cant see my hair or too much of my face. ' Luka thought freaking out.

"The fist of a lovely female punched my face..." Rilloh said. His face was red.

Luka kicked his ribs, "Shut up!" But that just made him moan more.

"Well, with 'his' hat on really cant see 'his' face very much." Kurapika said with his hand on his chin.

"Oh, Your right." Leorio said.

"I know! Hey, Luka! Take off your hat!" Gon said.

"I... cant do that..." Luka said. 'Who am I kidding? There's no hiding it anymore! And its all this freak's fault!'

Gon was confused, "Why not?"

'Here goes nothing...' Luka pulled her hat off and her long light blue hair flowed down past her lower back. She turned to face them. Her face was red with embarrassment. "I'm not a guy! See?! Happy now?!"

'She's... actually pretty... cute.' Killua thought. There was a bit of red on his cheeks as well.

Luka walked over to to Rilloh and kicked him multiple times in the crotch causing Rilloh to scream in pain/enjoyment, but it sounded more like pain. She didnt stop there she picked him up by his legs and slammed to the ground over and over again. His screams filled the room as she beat him silly. Her agressive nature made the group go wide-eyed. 'He's- I mean she's a lunatic!' Leorio thought. She finally held him over the edge by his leg. "Are you gonna beg for me to stop? Or do you you want to go on a one way trip...? To hell..."

Rilloh began to panic, "Wait! Your not going to... drop me are you?!"

"If you beg for your life I wont... Tell me... Do you fear death?" Luka smiled sadistically, her eyes glowed. This only scared him more.

"YES! YES I DO!" Rilloh put his hands together. He looked ready to cry, "PLEASE STOP! PLEASE DON'T DROP ME! I BEG YOU!"

Luka laughed slightly, "Alright then." She threw him back into the arena and he ran back on his platform as Luka picked up her hat and waked back to the others.

The score was 2-3. One more win and they'd will have won.

'Glowing red eyes...?' Kurapika thought, confusedly. 'But how? What is she? A Kurata? No... her eyes were a different shade of red... More like blood...'

The group was silent, "So..." Leorio began.

"I'm a girl, alright? Its not that serious." She said, her face flushed. She let her hair cover her eyes.

"Aren't you a bit young for cross dressing?" Tompa asked.

"Rrgh!" Luka punched Tompa in the stomach. "I've been wanting to do that for the longest!"

"But, why didn't you tell us you were a girl?" Gon asked.

"I was going to... Eventually. There was just never a good time. The only reason I decided to even do this was because men tend to think lowly of women. Imagine a 'little girl' in their midst. But in my defense I never told you I was a boy." Luka said.

"She is right." Kurapika said.

"Well, It doesn't matter if you're a girl." Killua said.

"He's right! You're still Luka! Girl or boy." Gon said.

"I guess it's no big deal if you're a girl." Leorio said, scratching the back of his head. 'What the hell? He- I mean, she's really cute...'

"We wont treat you any differently." Kurapika said.

"You guys..." Luka was surprised that they were so understanding. 'I wonder if it'd be okay to tell them i'm a vampire...'

"Well, Its finally time for the last round." Killua said. "Guess I'm off.

Leorio flinched wildly, "What? Killua?"

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Killua asked.

"Damn it! I really needed to win my round!" Leorio said.

"This guy is totally pissing me off!" Killua yelled.

"Now, now." Gon said putting his hands up in front of him.

"Don't give up before we even know what the contest is." Killua said. "Well, if its something like mental math, I'm surrendering."

"That's right! Depending on the opponent we still have a chance!" Leorio said happily.

A loud crash was heard on the other side. The next prisoner dragged his fingers through the bricks like it was dirt. He then pulled off his covering to reveal an aged man with blonde hair who was tall and muscular with his veins protruding.

"That guy..." Leorio said.

"You know him?" Gon said.

"We should take the loss." Leorio said. "Killua, dont fight him."

"Why not?"

"Johness the Dissector. The worst mass murder in Zaban's history. He chose his victims randomly. It was a famous case... 146 people, young and old, men and women, met brutal deaths by his hand. The victims had one thing in common. He murdered all of them with his bare hands. He was know for his iron grip, the power in his fingers." Leorio explained. Johness, 969-year sentence, mass murder.

'I never thought a human could be so brutal.' Luka thought.

"Its been so long since I've touched human flesh..." Johness said.

"You dont have to face that psychotic killer... There's always next year." Leorio said. Killua walked forward. "Hey, Killua... Killua! Damn it, was he even listening to me?!"

"We should let him go." Kurapika said. "He could have a plan."

'Just what are you planning to do, Killua?' Luka thought.

Killua looked up at Johness with absolutely no fear. "How are we settling this contest?"

"Contest? I believe you're confused." Johness said. "This will be a one sided massacre. I have no interest in the exam or any offer of amnesty. I just want to hear you scream."

"Really? Okay." Killua simply said. "The loser is the one who dies."

"Yeah, that's right." Johness said, surprised that Killua wasn't afraid. "I'll tear your body apart..." Before Johness could even reach him, Killua moved past him and there was a hole in his chest. "Wh-What? I'm so cold."

Killua revealed a bag with something inside... It was beating.

'Did he just rip out his heart!?' Luka thought, surprised. She covered her nose. 'The blood smell. Its slight, but its getting dificult to resist!'

"Are you okay, Luka?" Kurapika asked.

"Yeah, just fine." She lied.

No, your not.

'Shut up.'

Don't act so high and mighty... Child vampires never have much control over themselves...

'I said, SHUT UP!'

The voice laughed and disappeared.

"That's... mine." Johness said, slowly moving towards Killua. "Give it back."

Then... It stopped beating... Johness then fell to the ground, dead. Killua put Johness' heart into his open cold palm.

The score was 2-4. They'd won.

"Okay. That's four wins, two losses. We pass right?" Killua asked.

"Yeah, you win." The tanned baldy said.

"By the way you must be itching for some action, since you didn't get to do anything. Want to play with me?" Killua asked.

"I'll abstain." he said. After that little show, he knows better than to fight Killua.

"Oh, okay." Killua walked back.

"Who is he?" Leorio was still shocked.

"Oh yeah. Killua never told you." Luka said.

"Killua comes from an elite family of assassins." Gon said.

"Eh? A-An elite family of assassins?" Leorio said.

"So we should expect no less. He's a purebred." Luka said. 'If he reacts that way to Killua just being an assassin child? They're gonna freak if I tell them i'm not even human!'

"I'm back." Killua said, nonchalantly. Leorio stepped back.

'What a coward. If Killua really wanted to kill us he could have done it a long time ago.' Luka thought.

"What?" Killua asked.

"Uh... Well... Good work!"

A door at one end of the arena opened up and a walk way pulled out.

"Across the bridge, you'll find a small room. You must spend the fifty hours you gambled away there." Lippo said.

"Well, let's go." Killua said, walking.

"Yeah!" Gon agreed.

"If we must..." Luka sighed.

"R-Right..." Leorio said.


Inside the room...

"We have to spend fifty hours in this room?" Leorio complained.

"This is your fault. Don't complain." Luka said.

"Why you-" He stopped himself. 'That face makes it hard to say anything insulting to her.'

"Killua." Kurapika said.

"Huh?"

"Can you tell me how that technique works?" Kurapika asked.

"Technique?" Killua asked, confused.

"The one you used to instantly remove his heart." Kurapika said.

"Oh, that wasn't even a technique." Killua said. "I just ripped it out."

"Ripped it out?" Kurapika asked.

"But to make it easier, I manipulated my body a bit." His hand suddenly morphed, making his nails grow longer and sharper. His veins were also visible.

"Y-Your nails..." Leorio stuttered.

"Wow!" Gon exclaimed.

"Damn..." Luka said. She couldn't quite understand how he did that.

"Mass murderers are still only amateurs. I used to be a professional. But my mind would have done better. When he removes a heart, you wont see even a drop of blood." Killua said.

"How reassuring." Leorio said, still afraid of Killua.

"Well, then. We have more than two whole days." Killua said. The clock in front of them showed '49:55'.

"Forty-nine hours and counting." Luka said.

"What should we do, Killua?" Gon asked.

"First, we should search the room, for any kind of entertainment." Killua said. The kids went to go search the room.

"Man, you kids dont have a care in the world." Leorio said. Kurapika and Tompa took their seats.

The team has passed the trial, with four wins and two losses. However they must spend the fifty- hour penalty in the small room. They're running out of time.


Oh, my! Looks like Killua's developing feeling for Luka. I wonder if anything'll happen while they're in there? LOL Stay tuned for the next chapter of 'Love Bites!'
