Chapter Thirteen – Wrong Move
Machi stood on the edge of a cliff looking out at the sea. They had been walking around the island for three days and the still weren't sure where to go. For a moment looking out she thought she'd seen something and had stopped midsentence.
"Machi?" Nobunaga asked trying to get her attention again. She looked back at him with her same cold stare.
"It's nothing. I was saying that that last man we ran into said we should head south from here, but I don't trust it" she said refocusing in the conversation.
"Was he real?" Nobunaga asked. Machi didn't know for sure. The island worked in such a way that made it impossible to distinguish between reality or trick. It made no sense to her that someone would give her directions if he was a fake, but it made her second guess herself when she thought about reverse phycology. The sharp instincts she usually relied on were growing increasingly weak. She clicked her tongue in disgust; she really hated this island.
"I don't know" she said simply and saw Nobunaga sigh and look around him. Phinks, Franklin, Kalluto and Chrollo stood not too far away from them discussing the same things. Machi was glad she'd gotten Chrollo to come along with them, since he just might have to steal that ability in order for them to get out of the island.
"I still think we should split up" Phinks said, his frustration palpable.
"I've told you a million times that it'll only make it harder. We need to confuse the island so that we can figure out its path" Kalluto said; his usual cold and composed presence shaken.
"I believe we might have come to that now" Chrollo said. Machi and Nobunaga moved closer to listen in on the conversation. "We can divide in two groups so it might still be safe" he said looking out at the sea contemplating his plan. "One group can look for other people on the island and the others can look for a path towards the mountain" Machi looked at him and nodded. It might be the best plan. They had been stuck on one side of the island and they could see the mountains on the other side still they had found no path for them to cross. Every time they got near to it, they would simply be transported back to the place where they had set port.
"I'll look for others" Nobunaga said itching to see some blood to relieve him of his frustration.
"I'll go with Nobunaga" Machi said and Nobunaga nodded at her.
"Me too" Franklin said.
"So that means Phinks, Kalluto and I will continue the search" Chrollo said and without another word turned his back and started to walk away from them. Kalluto and Phinks followed glaring at each other. Machi looked at Nobunaga; she felt safer with Franklin at her side. She had a feeling that Nobunaga might endanger her on the island; she couldn't explain it but she felt it was true.
Gon and Killua saw the cluster of islands from the deck of their ship. Killua hadn't been able to feel relaxed ever since it had come into their view the previous night; now that they were only a few miles away, probably another hour on the ship, he was ready to run. He looked sideways at Gon and couldn't help but smile at the difference in their reactions. To Gon, warning signs had always meant and invitation; he stood looking with a smile forcing its way out of his focused stare.
"Which one do you think?" Killua asked referring to the islands. Without hesitating, Gon pointed out at the most simple looking one. Killua looked at it and agreed.
"All of the other islands are releasing a small amount of aura, that one is the only one that isn't" Gon said. He was right; if anybody sailed to this area they would be drawn to any of the others and would probably over look this one. "It's like the whole island is practicing zetsu" Gon continued.
"I think we should follow its example" Killua said and Gon turned to look at him. "If the troupe is already here they might sense us if we get any closer without it" Killua said and Gon nodded. They both closed their eyes and focused on bringing their auras inside their bodies, concealing their presence entirely.
An hour later the pair stood with their feet firmly planted on the ground of Pandora.
"Gon stop it" Killua said halfheartedly letting out a laugh and pushing Gon away from him. Killua had been counting their rapidly decreasing provisions when Gon had moved closer to him without him noticing and proceeded to kiss his neck in a more than suggestive way. He knew that zetsu was necessary for them to remain alive but those surprise lust attacks from Gon were just about to make him go crazy. Before they had even reached the island, he and Gon had decided that they would keep their hands off each other during their time here so they could remain focused. Over a week had passed and if Killua thought it was a difficult goal back then, he was definitively having his doubts now. Somehow, since they had stepped on the island all Killua could think about was touching Gon. It was almost as if the island itself was multiplying his desires.
Killua looked at Gon's frustrated face, sitting down a little further away and looking to his left, and knew he was probably going through the same thing. Still, Killua knew that it was undoubtedly for the best. Ever since they had reached Pandora more and more strange things seemed to happen as they got deeper into the island. Sometimes Killua would stop only to realize that they were walking towards the shore again or would look for Gon desperately and then feel him touch his shoulder with a confused expression on his face. The truth was they had no idea what they were doing or where they were going; but Killua had the slight suspicion that Kurapica hadn't been wrong in his drunken assumptions. This place was trying to mess with their heads.
"I can't tell where we're going" Gon said and pointed at a tree in front of him. Killua's heart sank as he looked at it.
"You've got to be kidding me" Killua said feeling himself get more and more frustrated. They had marked that tree an hour ago and had been walking in a straight line in the opposite direction.
"This doesn't even look like the place that tree was on. In fact it doesn't even look like the same tree!" Gon said opening his eyes a little wider and letting out an exasperated sigh. Killua looked at it and nodded. The confusion of the place and the added fact of them not being able to freely use their nen, was really taking a toll on them. Killua heard Gon let out a groan.
"Why is it that I'm not supposed to touch you?" Gon asked him and Killua saw a wicked grin growing slowly on his tanned face. He let out a laugh and looked back at their things; they needed to pick up their hunting if they wanted to survive.
"The brigade is around and we don't want to be caught off guard" Killua repeated for the millionth time; still he couldn't erase the smile off his face. Killua packed up all their things and saw from the corner of his eye Gon getting into all fours like an animal and slowly walking towards him; he looked like a predator about to catch his prey. "Gon, I'm serious, stop it" Killua said and got up from the floor. He looked down; the hunger in his eyes made him second guess himself. What are the odds of running into the troupe right now? Killua shook his head and walked away from him; he really had to try and summon some sort of control, since Gon had clearly thrown his out the window.
Killua looked at the damn tree and knew they were lost again; he had no idea which way they had to walk to move closer to the heart of the island rather than to the shore. Without warning, Gon pushed Killua pinning him to the tree and pressing his whole body against him. Damn zetsu.
"You have no intention of taking me seriously, do you?" Killua asked the tanned boy as he felt his lips closer over his neck.
"Maybe if you could wipe that smile from your face" Gon said and Killua couldn't repress a laugh. Gon kissed his neck again and intertwined his fingers with his. Killua felt Gon's increasingly warm body moving against him and it was really no surprise to him that he was already hard. Killua freed one of his hands and ran it threw Gon hair and grabbed on to it.
"Maybe if you stopped looking at me like that I would" Killua said and heard himself moan when Gon used his newly freed hand to stroke Killua over his pants; he guessed wasn't surprised either at what he found.
"Shh. You don't want to be caught off guard, remember?" He heard Gon say and he could practically feel him smiling behind him, "Again" he said with a small laugh. Gon moved his hand under his shirt, caressing his skin softly and then slid it into his pants. It was probably the hardest torture he had endured yet; to manage to stay perfectly silent as Gon stroked him firmly up and down. He felt a slight relief when he felt his hand let go of him and move out of his pants but it was only replaced by utter shock of Gon reaching to grab his bottom instead. Killua felt Gon breathing heavily on his neck as he moved his finger in between his cheeks to find him.
"Gon" Killua said and noticed then his breathing had gotten harsher too.
"I'm not going to stop" Gon declared still running his fingers over him.
"No not that, just" Killua said and hesitated for a second, feeling slight embarrassed. Gon stopped and waited for him to continue, "Lick your fingers" Killua said in a low whisper and smiled as Gon moved his hand rapidly from his pants, following his orders. He saw Gon's hand move to his face and lick his fingers slowly.
"Like that?" Gon asked him; Killua felt his words close against his neck. He grabbed Gon's hand and placed his fingers inside his mouth. He heard a soft moan coming from Gon as he withdrew him from his mouth.
"Like that" he corrected and Gon's wet fingers lingered on his lips for a second before he decided to move his hand back in his pants. Killua closed his eyes and waited to feel Gon's fingers going inside of him; it was even harder for him to stay silent. His hands clawed into the trunk of the tree and slid down ripping some of it off. He felt Gon lifting his shirt up with his other hand and he helped him take it off completely. He disliked the roughness of Gon's shirt against his bare skin.
"Take yours off" Killua heard himself practically command Gon. Gon moved his hand and pulled it off in one quick motion. Killua smiled at the difference of his skin warming up by Gon's. He slid his hand back down and inside him; he couldn't help but clench his teeth trying to control the pleasure. Gon's other hand moved from the side of the tree to the buttons holding Killua's pants up. Killua rushed in again to help and pulled down his own pants; the urgency overcoming his gentle nature. He heard Gon undoing his own and couldn't help but smile and brace himself. A week had been way to long for him too; If Gon hadn't moved so quickly over him, given an hour, Killua would have found himself on the other side of Gon. Killua couldn't do anything but want to be with him, closer to him. Gon had taken up all the space in his mind and since they had gotten on this island his feelings had only intensified. Gon moved his hand from Killua and grabbed his hips.
"I love you" Killua heard himself whisper quickly in between breaths before he could stop himself. He wasn't even sure Gon had heard him since immediately after that he felt him going inside him. It took all the control from his torture training not to scream out at the wonderful combination of pleasure and pain going through his whole body. Killua moved his hand to the nape of Gon's neck once more and pulled him by his hair, urging him closer. Gon moved in to him over and over again, each time faster, harsher and deeper. He felt Gon's breathing growing harder too and knew that was about as much as he could take. Sure enough, Killua felt the familiar shiver of Gon's body against his and his intake of breath. Killua tried to ease his breathing as his smiled to himself.
Suddenly Killua opened his eyes wide in shock and felt Gon stay completely still against him. None of them dared to move, not believing what just happened.
"Gon" Killua le out in surprise. It had all happened so quickly; Gon had finished and just when his pleasure was about to subside he relaxed a little too much letting his aura run free. It had only been a second, Gon had noticed it and focused it back in, but it had been a second too long. Gon moved away from him and pulled his pants back up and looked at Killua in horror. Killua looked at him doing the same.
"Killua, I'm so sorry" Gon said faintly, his breathing still harsh. Killua looked at him but tried to focus on everything around him, trying to make out any difference in the environment. All he could listen to was their breathing and his own heart beating hard under his chest.
"It's okay" Killua said letting himself calm down just a bit, "No one noticed" Killua said, feeling a worried smile forming in his face. Just like that, he felt all the hairs in his body stand up and he knew what he said had been a lie. Gon and Killua both jumped backwards instinctively and prepared to fight as they looked at the people now standing in front of them; Machi, Franklin and Nobunaga. The latter stood wearing a sadistic smile on his face.
"Well, well, well" Nobunaga looked at the pair and noticed their shirts on the floor; his smile widened. "You know, I once mentioned you two reminded me of Uvogin and me, but I must say" he paused and let out a small laugh, "We were never quite that intimate" he finished and Killua felt his heart pick up even more speed. It was about to start.
