Chapter 10- Sleepover at Zaoldyeck's
"I definitely against this." Killua crossed his arms and look at his son with a glare causing Kallua to chuckle nervously.
Gon along with Killia can only sigh, knowing that Killua would definitely say that.
Kallua gulped "But Papa, it is only for a week. Nothing's wrong going to happen and I have been there for so many times plus it is a holiday and I already finish the homework for the week".
Killua bang his fist on the table causing the table to get cracked, Gon and Killia jumped while Kallua winced.
"I WILL NEVER EVER APPROVE YOU HAVING A SLEEPOVER IN THE ZAOLDYECK'S!" Killua said in dangerous tone at each of the words.
Kallua raised his hand. "But Papa, aren't we Zaoldyecks? And also-"
"Fine, I will never ever let you having a sleepover in Kukuru Mountain." Killua said then turned away and leave before added "this conversation is over!"
"I don't think so, Kill"
The family turned around to see Illumi, casually standing there and look at his brother with his usual stoic face and monotone eyes.
"What the- when did you get here!?" Killua look at his aniki with shock and disbelief.
"Umm, Papa? Illumi-sensei is already here for a long time, I was about to say that he is here but you cut me off" Kallua explains to Killua who is still shocked at Illumi's presence along with Gon and Killia.
"Well, you should tell me he is here before I cut you off!" Killua recovered and look at his son with another glare.
"I think it's the time already. Let's go Kall." Illumi said then moved closer to Kallua but was stopped by Killua.
"What do you want with my son!?" Killua glared at his brother murderously.
Illumi look at Killua boringly in which Kallua noticed "I'm here to pick Kall for the sleepover. You already heard about it from him right? Besides, father was the one who suggested it"
Killua hissed and formed his hands to claw while his glare does not leave his face. "Like hell that I am letting my son go. Training was enough but sleepover is not something I could approve easily!"
"Is that a threat? I have seen Kall doing it better. I have to say Kall is definitely will be a much greater successor for the Zaoldyeck family, you have gone soft, Kill." Illumi said, his expression is still pretty much the same.
"Why- you…" Killua was about to dash forward before his action got cut off by what Illumi says.
"You know what would happen if you disobey aren't you Kill? Father might order me to kill you and your family except for Kallua since he is truly much talented than you also, you didn't want that to happen as well right Kall?"
Killua and Kallua got silent while Killia feeling scared hugged her mother for a comfort in which Gon does so and glare at Illumi.
Kallua turned towards Killua "It is only for a week Papa, I'm sure it will be all right. I'll make sure to call when I am arrived. Don't worry too much about it."
Killua bend down and patted his son's head while all of a sudden a ringing was heard echoed to the room and it came from Illumi's Zaoldyeck communication device and he answers it for a while before turning his attention towards Kallua and Killua.
"Alright Kall, I have something to do tonight so you could go for the sleepover tomorrow. Come early in the morning all right?" Illumi said so then leaves, leaving everyone stunned.
The next morning feels very fast for the whole family so right now, Killua with Gon and Killia are seeing Kallua off, as if he is going to be gone for a very long time.
"You better call when you get there!" Killua put his hand on his son shoulder before adding "stay strong" and turn his head away from Kallua.
"Kallu, please be all right!" Gon said before giving her son a hug.
"Kallua nii-sama, it was nice knowing you." Killia said before handing Kallua a box of manju.
Kallua sweatdrop, thinking why on earth his family bid him farewell as if sending him towards the hell and never got back again? Oh right, it is the assassins lair after all and known as hell but he would be back for sure.
So Kallua goes to the usual route to the Kukuru Mountain. He goes by train to go there then take the bus until he arrived to the testing gate. Even at his age and learn nen already, he opens the door for 5th gate. He walk inside and pet Mike for welcoming him, another walk until he pass Kanaria who bows down to him and give way. Kallua nodded at her before continuing his walk, going inside the butler estate then make a short call that he has arrived in the estate before going inside the mansion. He finished making the call and walk again until finally reaching the Zaoldyeck mansion.
"Sigh, it's only for a week. Only for a week. It won't be long before you know it" Kallua chanted inside his head for convincing himself. Apparently, he only stays here for training which is only the longest time, five hours for it is almost evening and this wil be the first time he spends the day and night for a week with the rest of the Zaoldyecks. He hoped nothing will be wrong.
He walked inside through the corridor and meet Illumi, who seems have been waiting for his arrival.
"Hello there Kall, it's good that you really are early for coming here. Let's go, I'll show you where your room will be." Illumi walked away, mentioning Kallua to follows him.
Kallua arrived at a room showed by Illumi, when he sees the room, immediately he's in love with the room. Somehow, he felt like he is familiar with this room.
"This room is used to be use by Kill, you can use his stuff and I'll pick you up later to go to the dining room for breakfast." Illumi said then leaving Kallua to get accustomed.
Kallua now understand why he likes this room very much since he and Killua have the same tastes. That's way Killua is the one who is helping with designing his room. Anyway, Kallua put some of his stuff and looking around for checking the stuff he can or cannot use. When he walks around, he felt the ground feel a bit different so he goes checking and finds a floor panel, he takes it out and find a lot of books.
"What is this stuff anyway?" Kallua ask himself then open one of the books.
The book has a lot of drawing of Gon's. There are a lot of sketches of them, hundreds or even thousands of her even in fantasy such as Gon dressed up as nurse or doctor or angel, heck, even naked. There are also some poem and song lyrics that are about Gon as well. Kallua take a look at all of this then nodding his head for a few times.
"Wow, I didn't know Papa is a very great artist, poet and song writer too. Didn't know he is so talented about all of these, Wow" Kallua exclaimed.
(A/N Kallua, sigh. What am I going to do with you? Why don't you notice anything weird about Killua's "obsession")
At the same time Kallua said these, Killua all of a sudden, feeling a bit happy. "Wow, did someone just praising me?"
Must be the power of the father and son bond.
Kallua heard a knock at the door and a voice calls out.
"Kall, let's go. It's time for breakfast."
Kallua opens the door to find Illumi outside, he goes to follow Illumi until they arrived in the dining room where the whole family, excluding Killua had gather.
"Oh my Kallu! How nice for you to finally joining us." Kikyo said in her cheerful tone but all Kallua do was grunt and glare at her.
"Hn, yeah. Right!" He said in a really cold voice causing Kikyo to cry the tears of joy for her grandson have grown up.
The reason why he acts like this is because it made Kikyo happy. He is not that cold-hearted, he is just able to make the expression perfectly unaware that he is a natural actor.
"Well, since everybody had gathered. Why not having breakfast now?" Zeno suggested making everyone goes to eat breakfast.
Kallua eat his food peacefully despite the poison in the food and it tasted a bit awful but he said nothing, not wanting to make a scene.
"So, Kall. How is your family doing?" Zeno asked his great grandson with a bit of curiosity.
Kallua gulp his food before answering "they're fine." Definitely a short and sweet answer.
"How is school, anyway?" Silva asked as well.
That statement made Kallua groan for remembering the girls chasing after him and Fraze who keeps on grossing him out.
"Boring"
Again, he said that for pleasing them. He answers all the question that is thrown at him in a manner and answer that the family pleased with. The breakfast ended without any ruckus causing Kallua to sigh in relief when he was away, he had to admit that the breakfast atmosphere is truly dark and completely overwhelming.
`It is only breakfast, how about lunch and dinner and my daily lives for a week!?`
Kallua thought that it would be truly hell but surprisingly it was not. To sum the activities in the 3 days, this is what he is mostly done.
Kallua's playing shogi with Zeno and giving him shoulder massage sometimes.
Kallua goes to have a grandfather and grandson chat with Silva and sometimes discuss about his bloodlust and listen to his grandfather rambles and problems, sometimes he is giving advice.
Kallua helps around with Kikyo's chores such as cleaning the house and cooking. Mostly cooking though since Kallua is really good in cooking and he never adds poison also the whole family loves his cooking.
Kallua trains with Illumi in assassin training, there are times that Kallua sweatdrop since he sees Illumi together with HIsoka and he would hide also the fact that Illumi have a lot of voodoo dolls that he always use his needle for poking the dolls. Heck, never thought his sensei have this kind of side.
Kallua helps Milluki in computer hacking and learn some about machine since Kallua is quite good with machine. He even helps in fixing the broken computer his father use.
Kallua chats with Alluka mostly about Killua and playing with nanika as well. Although Alluka's grown up, Alluka is still having the childish side making Kallua seems much more mature than Alluka.
Kalluto treated Kallua sweets and having a tea party. He made Kallua wearing a kimono as well and surprisingly suits him, made him as his tea drinking partner.
Kallua never thought that he would be having fun with them despite there is still some scary auras about them but he knew that it is only three days and he still have more days to go but the commotion inside the living room disrupt his train of thoughts.
`Hm? This aura? Papa, Mama and Killia? What are they doing here?`
Kallua goes and dash inside to find the whole Zaoldyeck's in one place. Currently arguing about something, not knowing what is it. He proceeds meeting his parents.
"Papa, Mama? Killia? What are all of you doing here? " Kallua asked.
The moment Killua and Gon along with Killia sees him, they dash and hugged him.
"Ahh, my son! There you are!" Killua said.
"Kallu! Thank Goodness you are here! Gon said, smiling widely.
"Kallua nii-sama!" Killia exclaimed happily.
Kallua is totally confused. Before he could register everything, Illumi yank him away.
" Don't you dare. Kallua is ours now." Illumi said.
"Huh?" Kallua is completely confused.
"Kall!, let's go back now! " Killua yells, desperate is hinted in his voice.
"Err.. what's going on, actually?" Kallua is totally confused right now.
"Let my son back, if not then who will helping me in organizing the files and the paperwork!" Killua said.
"Wha-" Kallua said, jaw dropping.
"Who will prepare my milk tea and helping the house chores?" Gon said.
"Eh-?"
"I don't have anyone to mess around with, who will cook my favorite food? Be my source of income then?" Killia added.
"Egh-"
The rest of the Zaoldyecks didn't back down either.
"Then, who will play shogi with me and giving me a shoulder massage?" Zeno said.
"Who will listen to my problems anyway?" Silva said.
"Who is going to do all the house chores? Kikyo said.
"Who will help me in the work?" Illumi said.
"Who will help me in hacking and fixing my computer?" Milluki said.
"Who will play with me and Nanika?" Alluka said.
"Who will be my drinking tea partner then?" Kalluto said.
Kallua can only getting sweatdrop and jawdrop from the Zaoldyeck's fight. He never thoughts that he would be their fight reason. Even so, he is not happy about this.
(Sigh, I am so getting out of here)
