I woke up from my sleep because of the song. I reached out my hand to the side of the bed. My phone's ringing. I looked at the screen to see what it is. It's not the alarm because I didn't set up an alarm last night as I remember. I tried to open my eyes again and there are words on the phone's screen like…
'Rima calling'
I touched the green button and answered the phone.
"Rima. You know what time is it now? It's freaking 7!" I said to her. I'm getting used to the weather here. It's still dark outside and the sun only comes out after 8 in the morning.
"What? You didn't call me yesterday so I thought something might have happened to you!"
"Well, sorry. It's just too complicated"
"And do you want to explain about the 'kissing scene' part to me?" I heard her. At that time, what I was thinking is not 'kissing' but more like 'eating' the pocky.
"Sigh… right" I sighed. I was not surprised that she knew about it. You know, internet is faster than oral communication and that explains why she knew. Internet is very convenience and sometimes dangerous too. I know it, sooner or later, people who attended the event will post this 'kissing scene' and there will be a huge messages pilled up in my inbox.
"Come to my place before the restaurant open" she said.
"Kay" I hung up. I don't feel like getting off the bed. I swam in my blanket once more. Before I know, I already slept.
Killua PoV
Everyone's routine is to take a bath, eat breakfast, or… anything else. It's different from me. I checked my ChocoLovers website first in the morning. I usually get some messages in my inbox. Today, I checked the website and it delivered me to the homepage.
"Hot Gossip: Kissing Scene ChocoDrugs and ChocoKillers?" I startled because of the sound behind me.
"Gon! Don't make me scared like that!" I was angry to the boy behind me.
"Look, Killua! There is a picture of you and Setsu!" he pointed the big picture below the headlines on my phone. I faceplamed.
"D-Don't look at my phone" I don't know why I was blushing. Moreover, it was… not a kiss!
I locked my phone to make it black, but not so long after that…

I looked at the screen and it says…
'Leorio Calling'
I answered the phone. It must be about the car. I hope it's not really expensive!
"Hello?" I answered.
"Killua, I got it! I got it! YEAAAAAHHHH!" I heard him screaming. I pushed my phone farther from my ear. Gon looked at me like he understood who was on the phone.
"So? How much?" I asked.
"Well, are you ready?"
"Yeah" I replied
"Really?"
"Hnn" I answered lazily.
"Are you sure?"
"Just make it quick, old man!" I said it.
"Geez. Alright, alright. It's about…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
There was a long silence. I thought he had a heart attack and he died right away, but then I heard…
"50.000 jennies"
When he said that, I almost dropped my phone.
"W-What? It's so cheap…"
"I know, right?"
"Whoa! Thanks, Leorio. So, should I transfer it to you or what?"
"Yeah, just transfer the money to me and I'll bring the car to you. Where are you guys?"
"In Hyurin"
"Great! It's a beautiful place for a vacation. I'll take day offs and go there right away. I'll send you my account number"
"Okay, do you want to talk to Gon?"
"Sure" I put the call into loudspeaker and then handed the phone to Gon.
"Leorio!"
"Gon!"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks. And you?"
"I'm good. So, how's the hospital?"
"So far so good. Hey, do you know where is Kurapika?"
"Nope"
"Me neither. I'll contact him and ask whether he want to join us or not"
"Okay. I leave the rest to you. Thanks, Leorio!" Gon hung up. He handed me over the phone. I got a message right away. It must be the account number.
"Let's go, Killua" Gon said.
"Huh? Where?" I asked confusedly.
"To the bank"
"Alright" I looked at my phone to see what time it was. It's half past 9 in the morning. We walked outside the apartment. The sky was so clear, yet it's raining.
"The weather is so fickle here" I said.
I collected all the money form every bank that I registered. The total was about 100.000 jennies. I transferred the money right away to Leorio's account. I texted him that I already transferred the money. The rest of the money, I saved some in one bank and some in my wallet.
"Now, where we should go?" I asked. Then… I saw her. Come to think of it, the bank was located near Setsu's house so it's not a surprise to see her here. She looked at her wrist watch and activated her nen. Then… she disappeared. I still can't figure out what is her nen ability, even though she has ever told me once (See chapter 6 if you forget). Well, she didn't say anything about being a fast runner though.
"Gon, do you want to come back to the apartment? I have… emm… some business to handle" I said.
"What business? Can I come?"
"Well, it's about Setsu. I feel like she was hiding me something"
"Okay, I'll go with you"
"Catch up with me, okay? She's fast" I wore my hood and activated my godspeed. I ran up to the roof buildings; I chased her right away from above. She went straight… then after 5 blocks away turn right. She stopped in the middle of the second block.
She went into a restaurant called… Sachii. The sign on the door says 'close'.
'Weird. Maybe it's like the hunter exam, the one that go into a restaurant but there is a secret room behind it' I thought.
"So, what are you doing here?" Gon caught up with me and asked.
"She went into that restaurant"
"Should we wait here or go inside the restaurant?"
"But the sign says it's still close" I pointed to the sign.
"Well, just wait until it opens then" he said. We waited… waited… waited…
I looked at my phone to check the time.
'It's 10, but why it's not open yet?' when I thought that, I looked a girl in the same age as Setsu flipped the sign. It's now open.
"Great. Let's go!" Gon said.
"W-Wait! We must disguise ourselves" I said to Gon. He looked confused, though.
"How?" he asked me. I don't know how. I tried to figure out a way, but my phone disturbed me.
RING!
A new message from ChocoLovers website. There… when I can't think of any ways, I was hit by the reality. The message on my phone screen almost made me drop my phone. Nope, not dropping my phone but throwing it to the ground more precisely. Remember I was on the roof? But I just took a deep breath and then my mind thought a clear decision to make.
"I was second place"
Setsu PoV
"Sorry, I was overslept" I apologized to Rima when I got in to her restaurant.
"It's okay. Have a seat. What do you want to drink?" she asked.
"Well, hot water please"
"You want to make your own hot chocolate again?" she took a glass and filled it with hot water.
"Hahaha… You know, my chocolate is the best!" she handed me the water and seat with me. I hold my glass with my both hands and concentrated on the water. I activated my nen, which is called…
'ChocoKillers'
I saw the water turn into chocolate. My nen is really convenient. I can make my own hot chocolate from water. I took a gulp of the hot chocolate.
"So, it's time for explaining this picture to me" she showed me her phone screen. I saw the ChocoLovers homepage with the hottest gossip.
"NO! Don't look at that embarrassing picture!" I tried to grab the phone that Rima was holding.
"Why? You look cute together. You must be really like him, right?" she took away her phone from my sight and tried touching that subject.
"Nope. I am not! By the way, I want to tell you a story about yesterday's job" I tried to change the subject.
"What? You still have that butterfly job?" she said. Of course, she knows about the gothic shop.
"Yeah, it's worth it though. At least, I got the reward" I took out a paper from my handbag.
"Wow, they really hacked it?" she handed her hand to me. I put the paper on her hand. She read it and made a serious face. Well, there are only ordinary numbers on it.
"Yeah, and you know what is the most surprising one? The guy asked me to get a silver hair"
"Silver hair?" she looked surprised. She handed me the paper again. I took it.
"Oh, I forget that you don't know. The boy that I told you, he has silver hair"
"What? Then… you must be lucky"
"Yeah"
"How did you get it?"
"Well, actually after the gathering event, I was invited to his house"
"Is it big?"
"Oops. Not a house but more like an apartment. It's quite big, though"
"Oh I see…" she looked disappointed.
"So, I sneaked in to his apartment from the balcony. He was sleeping at that time, and I picked one hair from his head"
"Wew… he didn't awake?"
"Nope. I was surprised too. Well, maybe because I pick it fast so he won't feel any hurt"
"Hmmm… True…" she watched the clock and walked away from the table we sat. We sat on the third table with sofas from the door. Her seat is facing the door and mine is backing the door. It's 10, so she must be flipping the door sign. I'm too lazy to follow her with my eyes. I just drank my hot chocolate. She back to her seat after flipping the door sign.
"So, yeah… I got this code" I flipped it backwards and forwards with my hand. I look at the numbers written on it carefully.
'Maybe I'll use it now' I thought. I grabbed my phone on the table and opened the ChocoLovers website. I put the code and… done. My points became 3200 and I became the first rank again. I continued drinking my hot chocolate. Then, I heard the door behind me was opened.
"Welcome!" I heard Rima said that to a customer and left her seat to serve the customer. I didn't look at my back. Remember I'm too lazy to turn my head, even to roll my eyes to look at Rima?
'This restaurant must be pretty popular. There are customers in this early hour' I thought. I felt the customer sat on the table behind me.
"What do you want to order, sir?" I heard Rima serving the customer. I took a gulp of my hot chocolate again.
"Hmmm… I ordered hot chocolate first. I waited for my friend" I heard the customer said that. Somehow, that voice seems familiar. Really familiar. I know this voice.
"Okay" Rima walked to the back door that leads to where the chefs are.
"You haven't used your rare chocolate and there is no choco-hunting event this week" I heard him.
"Oh, so you stalked me here?" I said calmly without looking back.
"The other games only worth 20 points too, and there are only 3 of them. It's not possible to beat me only with those cheap games"
"So, what is your point saying those things, stalker?" I said that and drank my chocolate again. I felt he stood up and walked to the seat that was Rima's seat. Now, he is in front of me.
"You're hiding something" Killua said.
"Well, everyone has a secret"
"That's not what I meant. You're hiding something from me as a friend"
"And what is that?" I looked at him sharply.
"It's…" he wanted to say something but… he touched his head. He looked down at the table and acted weird. His eyes were wide open and he cold sweated. He looked ill for that one moment.
"What is it, Alluka?" I heard him said that. I started to worry. Something's gotten him.
"H-Hey. Are you alright, Killua?" I reached out my hand to calm him but he repelled it. I shocked. He stood up, left his seat, and walked towards the door while holding his head. Before he walked outside the restaurant, he said…
"So, you don't trust me huh?"
At that moment, just one second, I saw his sad and concern face. I've never seen him like this before. I was left there, at that table. I just stood there… alone.
Killua PoV
"I was second place" I said.
"Huh? But she didn't do any event or games right?"
"Yeah. That's why I will make her say the trick. You wait here, Gon. This is a restaurant and I don't want to throw any money just for this kind of business"
"Okay. I'll wait here" Gon said.
I was heading to the restaurant right away. I walked inside the Italian restaurant.
"Welcome!" I saw a girl that just flipped the door sign. My sight switched to the girl who was sitting in front of her. There she is. I sat on a table behind her.
"What do you want to order, sir?"
"Hmmm… I ordered hot chocolate first. I waited for my friend" I said to the waitress while putting off my hood.
"Okay" she walked away from my table and went to the kitchen.
"You haven't used your rare chocolate and there is not choco-hunting event this week" I started.
"Oh, so you stalked me here?" I heard her, but I ignored her.
"The other games only worth 20 points too, and there are only 3 of them. It's not possible to beat me only with those cheap games"
"So, what is your point saying those things, stalker?"
"You're hiding something" I got to the point.
"Well, everyone has a secret"
"That's not what I meant. You're hiding something from me as a friend"
"And what is that?"
"It's…" when I want to say what's in my head, something just hit me. I felt my head spinning around. I touched my head, tried to get a grip.
'Onii-chan! Try to remember!'
"What is it, Alluka?" I said it.
'It's… h-er… Y-know-th-I-she…' a broken memory started to play in my head but I still didn't get a full memory. I tried to remember it…
"H-Hey. Are you alright, Killua?" she interrupted me. I repelled her hand so that I can focus remembering, but the memory didn't play again. It's… stop.
I stood up from my place and walked towards the door, still holding my head.
'Alluka, what are you trying to say?' I thought. Before I opened the door, I said to her…
"So, you don't trust me huh?" I said while turning my face to see her once more time. Then, I opened the door in front of me and walked outside. It's still raining. I let my head cooled up in the rain.
'I thought you will help me gain back my memories, but…'
'Onii-chan! You're silly! How can she know if you don't tell her?'
'Right…'
'Come on! Go back and tell her'
I turned my body and walked back to the restaurant. Before I went in, I saw a figure standing there. She just… stood still in front of the door, made me cannot go in to the restaurant.
She just… stood there with her concern face.
Setsu PoV
'Oh no. I think I did something wrong' I thought. I looked at the door. I saw him bathing in the rain. What is he thinking? Why don't he just go to his house already? On a second thought, I guess I should apologize to him.
'For what?' my other self asked.
'Well, of course because I don't compete equally' I thought. I walked to the door and went outside. I saw him walking back at me.
"Killua, sorry about what I said. I know that I-" I didn't continue my words. He looked troubled and wanted to say something.
"Setsu, please…"
"W-What's wrong, Killua?"
"Please… I, somehow, have to regain my memories"
"M-Memories? How?"
"You are the one that can do it"
"Why me?"
"Because…" he stopped.
"Yeah?" I asked him to go on.
"Because…" his troubled face came back again
"…" I waited.
"I… I don't know!" he said. I was confused a little bit but… I guess I know why.
"Okay. I get it" I smiled to him. I know that there are valuable memories inside our hearts that cannot be replaced. Maybe it's just me who remember those memories, but in the future… I will make him remember all of our memories.
"Let's go" I took his hand.
"Where?"
"You'll see. I've ever told you that I will show you my nen, right?" I activated my nen.
"Can you keep up at my speed?" I asked him. He nodded. I ran to my mansion with him following at the back. I was quite surprised when he activated his nen. I went upstairs and went into the last room on the left. It's a room with a big window.
"Why we are going here?" he asked. The rain stopped and the sun was shining through the city.
"Look" I pointed to the window. There are colors on the sky. It's a rainbow.
"Why does a rainbow always go downwards?" I asked the same question from that time.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it would be more prettier if it goes upwards like the sky is smiling at us, right?"
"Hahaha… That's because…" he stopped. I looked at him. His eyes were wide opened and he was holding his head again.
"UGH!"
"Killua!" I called his name, but he fell down and lost his consciousness right away.
Killua PoV
La La La La ~
I heard she was singing. She always sings if she is in the 'bad mood' mode. It's a beautiful voice, though. There… I saw her singing under the sunlight. She was sitting in front of a big window that showing a rainbow. What a beautiful view. I felt like I want to take a picture with my camera so that I can remember how beautiful it is forever.
"Why does a rainbow always go downwards?" I heard her saying that. I couldn't see her face because she was staring out to the window.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"Well, it would be more prettier if it goes upwards like the sky is smiling at us, right?"
"Hahaha… That's because when the clouds raining, that means the sky was crying and a rainbow is a proof of that" I explained.
"But… there are so many colors and it's beautiful"
"Yeah, that's why…" I walked near her.
"Don't be sad, okay? I'm sorry I didn't give the chocolates to you, but here… I bought your favorite chocolate" I handed the box to her.
"Pocky! Yey!" she took the box.
"Thank you… Killua"
'Killua'
'llua'
'a'
'a'
'…'
I heard voices calling me… It was pitch black but I saw a light. It's getting nearer… nearer… nearer… and I opened my eyes. I saw Setsu in front of me.
"Killua!"
"Yeah?" I said it.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Huh?"
"You lost consciousness for 5 minutes! I thought you have a heart attack!" I laughed when she said that.
"Hey, Setsu. I know the answer"
"What?" maybe she's referring to what question? Maybe she forgot about the question that she asked me because of her panick.
"When the clouds raining, that means the sky was crying and a rainbow is a proof of that… Right?" I said it with a smile.
There… I saw she's smiling with tears. She hugged me like she did when we were kids. My mind maybe doesn't remember it, but my body does.
'Hey, Alluka. Why don't you erase all of my memories?' I kept asking that question in my mind.
Thanks for reading! Ho Ho Ho! So... here is what I got on xmas. Well, I got...
-Towel (a pink one with polkadot pattern)

Me : Really? Yay, we have pair things again! (she got the same towel as mine)
(In my mind : Sorry but... I don't like the color. I don't even know what color is that! It's like gray, but it's more like a rag mop color *sorry but it's true*)
